Ultimate Follies Playlist?

Posted: 11/24/11 at 7:51pm

So let's say I wanted to make a playlist with every piece from Follies that has been recorded including any incidental music/dialogue (which we have a lot of now thanks to PS Classics) and a full appendix (even more extensive than the Papermill recording.
Anyone want to take a stab at an Ultimate Follies Playlist? Off the top of my head I think the OLC has a few pieces that can't be found on any other recording, such as Country House, Social Dancing, and Make the Most of your Music.

Impossible. How could any two people agree?

Besides, no ultimate list could be truly ultimate without Nancy Walker's definitive "I'm Still Here" from the Scrabble album, which topped Yvonne DeCarlo's rendition, even to people (like me) who saw Yvonne DeCarlo:

Don't forget Brent Barrett's Make The Most Of Your Music and Michelle Pawk's It Wasn't Meant To Happen from The Stephen Sondheim album.

Any list missing Donna McKechnie's "Losing My Mind" and "Lucy and Jessie" is an incorrect list.

I didn't forget them.

I find the orchestrations on that album almost entirely intolerable.

Wow. Great discussion guys. Now just for the poops and giggles here's a ridic question. If you were to put the songs from the appendix in the running order of the show as listed so well and completely by lizabombs, where would you put them?

On a different playlist.

Here's my playlist-
1- Winter Garden soundboard- 1971.
2- Boston bootleg- 1971.
3- Los Angeles bootleg w/replacements Janet Blair and Edward Winter- 1972.

(That's it.)

after seeing Follies last weekend, I was thinking of making an ultimate playlist as well! Someone else mentioned the NYC and Boston soundboard and bootleg. If anyone knows more info about how to find them, could you PM me?

Gracias!

Her Lucy and Jessie :S?

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

McKechnie actually played Phyllis in the BBC concert production that was aired on the radio.

Was "It Wasn't Meant to Happen" written for Phyllis? Do give some background.

"It Wasn't Meant to Happen" was written for Sally. That's as much as I know.

You bumped a discussion that ended 3 years ago to post a silly GIF? Really?

Yep, just discovered the thread- and what's it to you?

Thought it was kind of odd to revive a discussion that ended so long ago. But if you've got that kind of time and an insightful comment that enriches the discussion, have at it.

LOL @ FishemanBob...at first I thought you were "Losing Your Mind" (pun intended), but then I realized when I was replying to this message that I've blocked the poster you're questioning.

Carlos, of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
