Curious what other people thought of it. I just saw it and to my way of thinking Patti stole the whole show. It was a staggering moment as Elaine Stritch basically anointed her and Patti emerged as the ultimate Sondheim Diva. Some of the others voices had declined but Patti is in a league of her own. Nathan Gunn was fabulous as was Audra. I'd love to see those two in a show. Great chemistry between the two of them. I was disappointed in You're Going to Love Tomorrow especially after recently seeing the original foursome footage lately. Marin was also wonderful- she has such a beautiful voice and presence. DHP was a dry witty host and Mandy Patimkin was just amazing. His voice was as powerful as ever. I'd love to see him play Sweeney Todd someday. Anyone else has any faves?

"Too Many Mornings" was one of the most blissful moments of television I'd ever seen. "The Road You Didn't Take" similarly gave me goose bumps.
I had a wonderful time and I was glad to see some of the material done at Ravinia earlier this year replicated during the program. Especially "Glamorous Life" and the dueling Sweeney's in "A Little Priest."
The work between Bernadette and Mandy was so moving, and Marin and Donna killed.
