I got my Follies recordings!

For anyone who dissed Donna McKechnie on the previous thread - she was Sondheim's choice for Sally. He feels that she's an especially underrated actress and vocalist.

Glad you agree!

But it also is a reason to not summarily dismiss her, as many people do. I thought she was a great Sally as well.

Add me to the list of McKechnie lovers. She has a terrific underrated voice. With her singing and her extraordinary dance skills it's criminal that she isn't a much much bigger star than she is. While she's known and respected in Broadway circles, in another era she might have been a household name beyond that with composers and directors lining up to create star vehicles for her. Perhaps if Bennett had lived he might have built another show around her talents. She deserved so much more than only having one major starring role in an original show to her credit.

Seeing Donna hoofing her way through "Who's That Woman?" was also a highlight. Jerry Mitchell recreated Michael Bennett's choreography for the dance section, so that number took on added layers of resonance with Donna's presence.

This thread inspired me to finally buy her Inside the Music cd. 12 bucks and autographed! Score!

Glad to hear that BobbyBubby! Do tell more about the CD!
