No. No. No. "What I Did fro Love" works because of the beauty in its simplicity. Glottal on every damn note? Yuck!
Not to mention she was flat in the middle.

Stritch is the REAL DEAL!
Not even the great Nathan Lane could wake that audience up.. but Stritch got a pulse!

Elaine has completely flubbed up. She worked it out though, only she could mess up that bad and still come out well.

Oh Elaine Stritch, I adore you. I cried when she went up on the lyrics.
And shut up Candice. I hope you can find the lyric, or even the way home at her age.

Candice, she doesn't. She's being prompted there every night too.
I wonder why they haven't brought in a teleprompter for ALNM. It would be far less invasive and distracting then prompts from the wings.

Wow, Elaine. I'm surprised she's on the bill; isn't one full show enough?
Keep on truckin'!

Posted: 7/19/10 at 8:17pmThis is the best performance of the night. Absolutely legend. Who the hell wants to see a perfectly polished and rehearsed and boring song. This is real theatre. I love Stritch. BRAVA.

Posted: 7/19/10 at 8:19pmI wonder if they'll just cut that for the television broadcast?

Posted: 7/19/10 at 8:20pmI didnt mean it in a bad way Mildred, I CERTAINLY hope im still kicking it like that at her age. She is very charming, I was only observing that it must be a struggle for her, her senility is clearly a struggle for her. She is absolutely deserving of the role, and the opportunity, shes a legend.

Posted: 7/19/10 at 8:20pmBut it's not real theatre, it's a filmed performance at the White House for the president. This is on par with the awkwardness of Marilyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday.
Wanting life but never knowing how
