Posted: 4/20/05 at 5:36pmAudra's arrangement of DOWN WITH LOVE is based on Barbra's, which she did on Judy Garland's show back in '63-'64. It's stunning as well.

I have been obsessed with that song since I got the Bway Leading Ladies DVD. Does anyone know if there is an audio recording of it?

wow, who knew!? kisses right back at ya!
like stated above, the ultimate arrangement of DOWN WITH LOVE is Barbra Streisands...I hope Audra McDonald gives credit it to it when she gives it the ultimate form of flattery!!
as is just about every one of her arrangements for that first glorious decade of her recording life...I could teach a course!!
