I didn’t even see her name listed until just now so I’m sure that’s what it is. Which will just make me even sadder I won’t be seeing them this summer.

slightly off topic, but has their been a production of Pacific Overtures that's cast a female identifying actor as The Reciter?

I always forget what a monumental piece of music this song is

"The Boy From" was the BEST! 

I roared @ her vocal bits in the bridge (oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) and especially her bit with the accompanist on the line "I... wish I understood Spanish", where the accompanist pounded the correct pitch for the word "I"!

"Someone in a Tree" was beautiful and a pleasant surprise.

“Someone In A Tree” is such a brilliant composition.

Assuming Patti is doing The Ladies Who Lunch. I would've loved to hear her do By The Sea, but it's been done and since she's "currently" in Company, it's going to be TLWL? I associate Bernadette with ITW but that show has been done to death tonight. Also several of the songs she sang on a live album have been done already. What's left for Bernadette?

“Someone in a Tree” is Sondheim’s favorite song of his so I’m happy they were able to make such a great video of this.

This is a great rendition of “Someone in a Tree.” I’m so glad it was included in this tribute.

Ann's voice adds a really nice, sweet touch to this song.

My favorite Sondheim.

DAMN we need a Pacific Overtures revival!

Last one was...eh. Can’t imagine we’ll have another soon.

I bet they could sell a LOT of copies if they made a CD and/or DVD of all these performances, and thereby raise some more money for ASTEP.

I only just recently discovered "The Boy From..." so damn happy Lavin got to sing it! She was hilarious!

I can't imagine they will miss Send in the Clowns so who will do it?

Bernie Meryl or????

I was just thinking how much I would like to have studio recordings of some of these performances.

I think the former (remaining) "Ladies in Red" will do the songs they did ten years ago, with maybe Meryl doing I'm Still Here and Donna doing Losing My Mind, like she did for the 75th birthday concert in 2005

I'd buy it!
