Agree with all the one's I've seen posted so far and I've seen many.
Would like to add
Brent Barrett's smug (I would say definitive) Ben from the Chicago Shakespeare Follies
Mary Gordan Murray's intense Gussie from Arena's Merrily
Lea Salonga's gorgeous rendition of Loving You from Old Friends

Love your ideas tomorrowBIGLITES. I too envisioned the film (of my dreams) opening with Sally looking at her wrinkled face in the mirror, Phyllis dressing, examining her still spectacular figure, Ben bored and sulking over a cocktail, Buddy rushing through the airport. Then I would transition to outside the theater - Times Square @ 1970. The noise, the filth, the rotten manners...
Can you imagine what they would do with CGI? No need to double cast the younger versions

No idea why Tom and Tim. If there is a reason I would love to know.
Sally's mental health is due to her depression and possible early onset of dementia. She's also an alcoholic. I think she would have turned out t

I saw the show a few weeks ago and have NO recollection of what part he played in the show, I saw that he's pictured with the principals and he took a solo bow in the curtain call video I checked out online. It's driving me nuts! What was his part? Did he have any or parts in songs? I remember everyone else clearly. Thanks!
