Vanessa Williams's work on Sondheim on Sondheim far surpasses her work in Into the Woods. She's sounding great and I think that this kind of material - along with other songs she sings in the show (like "Losing My Mind") - suits her better than the Witch's songs. While I'm not crazy about the fact that this number is basically Williams and a handful of boys - one of the reductions that unfortunately goes part and parcel with the revue format - the number is better suited to a generic revue setting than it was in London's Follies, where it was a compromise made for the actress and the production, one that only served to remind those who know better that it's a substitute for a song that works better for both the character and the show. I can't believe it still ends up in productions of Follies today. So, yes, I enjoyed Williams's performance on Live! with Regis and Kelly and I also found it quite amusing that Regis seemed a bit worked up at the end of the song.

She was wearing no less than when she scampered out of camera range.
