NPH is singing "Finishing the Hat." I don't know how I feel about that.

Anyone who has recorded it and wants to give me a copy will become my favorite person in the world.

Danielle Ferland?! I haven't heard of her since, well, ever. I just know her from the Into the Woods original cast/video. And boy, does she sound the SAME!

It was Kate Baldwin. But she was good, wasn't she?

[GovernorSlaton]

She means as Mary in Opening Doors.

This is her now:

After waiting outside for six hours before being told it was unlikely anyone else would make it inside, I'm glad that there is an option to hear what is left of the concert.

aww i'm sorry you couldn't give in...all those people that won't give up their seats...

but just think you have the best seat in the house now...think of how well you can hear it on the radio :)

The Sun Won't Set is positively gorgeous.

[kyle33nyc]

Posted: 3/19/05 at 7:41pm

Yes, I'm happy to be at home and listen to such clear sound. I can try and get stuff done while I don't miss a song. Most of this good enough that I just want to sit still and soak it all in.

Randy Graff still sounds good after all these years.

and Kyle just think you'd miss all the backstage stuff on XMRadio :)

I love Elaine Stritch!

Company is one of my fave musicals of all time

1962? Huh?

I've got the whole thing recorded so far, from 11 AM until now- close to 8 PM. It's not too tricky, you just need to set up your sound card to record from "What U Hear" or "Wave" instead of Microphone or Line In. Then any software will do. I personally have been using Sound Forge to record in 2-hour chunks and auto-convert and save as MP3. Otherwise the raw data of 12 hours would take up my whole hard drive. With good software like Forge, I'll wind up with the whole 12 hours in full quality, that can fit on 1 data CD.

If people are that interested, I'll just upload the whole thing to my web server once I get it all organized. I figure if it's a free concert being broadcast very freely on the street and online, it can't be too illegal to be sharing a recording with those who maybe didn't have 12 free hours today. If you're interested in downloading a few hundred megs of MP3 or streaming it Real Player-style, PM me so I know if it's worth the time and webspace.

oooh tha would be awesome Matt...I didn't start recording til like 1ish and missed the Company stuff in the beginning and it was awesome! I would love to hear the Sorry-Grateful again (which is my favorite song from Company)...not to mention Not Getting Married Today, Alice is an amazing Amy!

ah I just adore Company!

Elaine can do no wrong. I do wonder if she is aware that she's telling the same stories again and again!

Was her Ladies Who Lunch up to her usual standard, or did this "ten year flu" hinder her performance? It was funny: waiting in line at Synphony Space they broadcast the radio from a speaker, but with all the street noise you couldn't really hear much of anything. You still knew when was Elaine was singing, as her rasping and gasping was still louder than the passing busses!

I'd love it you posted the files to the web. This is a great concert, and I'd love to hear it again and again and again.

How was Joanna Gleason? And wasn't Donna Murphy supposed to sing today?

[GovernorSlaton]

Posted: 3/19/05 at 8:14pm

Stritch and Gleason were fantastic. Donna Murphy is scheduled for Part 2.

[Plum]

Posted: 3/19/05 at 8:16pm

Yeah, Stritch acknowledged she was taking a story out of "At Liberty."

Did I mention I love A Little Night Music? Ah, happiness. Though if it wasn't for this I'd have some homework done...

[GovernorSlaton]

Posted: 3/19/05 at 8:22pm

eh Homework is overrated Sondheim is much more important *nods* Besides you have all day tomorrow...that's what Sundays are for!

Posted: 3/19/05 at 8:23pm

I prefer The Glamorous Life "Movie" version to the original version. :)

[Broadway Matt]

Posted: 3/19/05 at 8:25pm

hey I know who this is! This Mackenzie girl, she left me absolutely speechless after hearing her sing in Lippa's "Little Princess" this past summer in CA. ridiculously strong pipes for a 15-yr-old.
