I'd seen Goulet in THE HAPPY TIME as well as in various productions at the Westbury Music Fair. He always impressed me as having a magnetic personality and a singing voice that was beautiful beyond description.
It had been my dream to hear him sing "The Song In The Sand" in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. In my mind's ear I thought the tune was written for his vocalizing. At yesterday's performance he more than exceeded my dream. His voice is still supple and in exceptional form for a man in his 70's. His rendition of the song actually gave me goosebumps. What a rare treat! What a memory to cherish!
Additionally, it was extremely touching to see this Broadway Legend shed tears on two occasions during the production. It was obvioushe loved ding this show and the audience's love was greatly appreciated by him.
During intermission I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Goulet. What a charming lady she is! We chatted briefly and I immediately fell in love with her accent. She's from Macedonia and in all my travels I've never met a Macedonian before. I now have and she was a delight!
