I saw Yvonne in FOLLIES twice, near the beginning, near the end. She was great both times, and I still love her version, and count it in my top 3 of those sung in the show (with Anne Miller's still the favorite). The song was written for Carlotta, but of course, sums up DeCarlo. In her case "someone's mother, then you're camp" was all in one fell swoop of course.
I still wish "Foxtrot" had stayed in the show (but love the Miller rendition on the Papermill recording).
By the way -- how about a new FOLLIES in 5 years with the SIDESHOW girls, Alice and Emily as Phyllis and Sally respectively?
