Though it is a valuable documentation, I would not judge the experience of seeing the show live in NY by this video. Mary Martin is the only original cast member, she and the cast are performing as though there is an audience in the house (there isn’t) and not with the intimacy of the camera in mind, plus, as Logan said in his autobiography, Martin felt pressured to live up to her performance’s legendary status and had lost much of her spontaneity.
I’d still love to have seen it in NY. |
