| Yes. Yes. The Robert Goulet/Sally Ann Howe TV production of Brigadoon, though cut down, has their unmatchable singing. | |

| I really like the Brent Barrett recording. The best I heard was when Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley did the show at The Pasadena Playhouse--They stopped the show with Almost Like Being in Love--which I didn't know from recordings that it could even become a showstopper (at a slightly increased, driving tempo). The audience went crazy. Wildly exciting! I love Come to Me, Bend to Me (those high notes get me excited) and the best recording continues to still be IMHO the one from the movie of Brigadoon--though it was left on the cutting room floor. There is a new "complete recording" which I like and their Almost is close to what I liked about Marin and Jason. The orchestra is excellent and the singers very good: This Concert production of 'Brigadoon' was recorded in 2019 (out in 2021) at the Vienna Volksoper. Spotify makes it hard to find unless you type in "Brigadoon Live." |

| Marin and Jason did 110 IN THE SHADE at the Pasadena Playhouse. They did BRIGADOON for Reprise! at UCLA in 2004, and it is one of my all time favorite Reprise! shows. They were utter perfection. Laura in LA |

| You're so right, Laura! (Now I'm particularly missing Reprise!--when they were good, they were VERY good. Marin was also shockingly moving, especially performing "Old Maid" in 110. Floored me. Youtube has a wonderful compilation of Marin doing Man of La Mancha, which I loved her in on Broadway--her voice was so right for that part.... |

| Did you sign up for Reprise 2.0 in 2018? We did, and thought the initial offering, SWEET CHARITY with Laura Bell Bundy, was terrific. Then their plans for VICTOR/VICTORIA fell through, and they substituted AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND. Nice, but nothing much. The third was supposed to GRAND HOTEL….and Reprise 2.0 evaporated without a trace. I’m still owed for three tickets for that one. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have seen so many Reprise shows (all but the first one, I think), and that my kids got to share the experience with me. Laura in LA |

| No I didn't subscribe--I cherry-picked and saw a bunch for free, too. I can't believe the producers were able to get away with not refunding to subscribers. I'm not sure that is legal. It was a great opportunity to catch up on some shows I hadn't seen live; Boys from Syracuse was a favorite; Call Me Madam with magnificent Karen Morrow; On the 20th Century; Kismet; Mack and Mabel; Pippin; and No Strings--were all a joy.

| CALL ME MADAM was a delight. But I think the most moving one was 1776, with Roger Rees as John Adams, just after 9/11. The entire cast came out into the courtyard by the Freud Theatre, collecting for the Red Cross. Rees gave my middle daughter a kiss on the cheek when she handed him our donation. The Reprise! FOLLIES was also incredible, with Harry Groener one of the best Buddys I’ve ever seen. They performed that one at the Wadsworth, not the Freud, but I hear they tried to book it into the Shubert before it was demolished. That would have been so utterly fitting, not just because of the show’s plot, but for theatrical symmetry: the very first show in the LA Shubert was the national tour of the original FOLLIES.
