In a sense, it's like her work in <i>Gypsy</i>, where I bought her distinctive interpretation right up until the moment when she sang the big number ("Rose's Turn") and the whole thing fell apart for me.

I AM A PASSIONATE FAN OF MR SONDHEIM´S, AND "FOLLIES" IS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITES, SPECIALLY BECAUSE I GOT THE VERSION IN CONCERT DID BY REMICK, THE FORMIDABLE STRICH, THE DIVINE MRS COOK, THE GRAT BURNETT ET AL, THAT I USED TO WATCH EVERY THEN AND NOW, WHEN I GOT A LITTLE BIT DEPRESSED. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS GREAT ARTICLE ABOUT A SHOW THAT I´LL LOVE TO WATCH (I HAVE BEEN IN NY CITY THREE TIMES IN THE FAR PAST). THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

True, there are book problems, and someone will have to be called in to fix them ... what's George Abbott doing these days? <br /><br />Haven't seen the new <i>Follies</i>. I suppose I will.
