Posted: 6/13/07 at 3:40pmDitto Harvey Evens. I'd also like to add another cast member from the original Follies, John McMartin, a simply brilliant actor who has been working for years. He's in Grey Gardens now of course, but he's also been in besides Grey Gardens and Follies, Sweet Charity (with Gwen Verdon), the revival of Into the Woods among other shows.

Beth Fowler, John McMartin, Harvey Evans. A lot of early Sondheim people.
Speaking of Ms. Fowler- she's been working often enough, but what ever happened to some of her fellow cast members fro the original Night Music. The girl who played Anne, Patricia Elliot who played Charlotte, the fellow who played Henrik? Did they move on to Hollywood or decide to leave the profession?

The Original B'way Anne-Victoria Mallory and Henrik-Mark Lambert actually married.. and are still together, I believe.
Mallory and Mark Lambert have been working in TV pretty regularly.
Last I heard of Teri Ralston, she was directing in Southern California. I saw her production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and BAKER'S WIFE.
Both were pretty well done.

Kaye Ballard
Karen Morrow
Two women with big, brassy bold voices who were peerless with a comedy song and exquisite with a ballad and had some of the worst luck when it came to picking shows.

Annie Golden
Xanadu (understudy)
The Full Monty
On the Town
Ah, Wilderness!
Leader of the Pack
Plus she was on the backers productions of Hairspray and Carrie.
Maybe she is just too quirky or something, but I really think a lot of shows missed out on her talent.

Patricia Elliot has been on the soap opera One Life To Live for something like 20 years.
She hasn't done enough shows, but I just love Liz Callaway - what an amazing voice! Wish her career had taken off more!
I also love Inga Swenson, especially her vocal performance on the 110 In The Shade original broadway show cast album. I can't hear those songs at all without hearing her vocal inflections - she acts the songs as she sings them. It's a phenomenal performance (i'm too young to have seen the production).

Beth Fowler may have been around for a long time, but lately her pitch problems are unforgiveable!
She was so "off" in THE BOY FROM OZ, I sat there writhing in disbelief that a woman who used to sing so well has lost all sense of pitch. Sad but true.

Joan Diener,
She sadly was not recognized by the Tony awards for her amazing performances in both Kismet and The Man of La Mancha. There is a lot of talk on this board about Broadway singers who have both soprano and low belting voices... well you really can't talk about them without mentioning Joan Diener; who in my mind was the first one to have that kind of range. Just listen to her renditions of "Not Since Nineveh" (Kismet) or "It's All the Same," "Aldonza," and "What Does He Want of Me?" (Man of La Mancha).
