The role of Sally is tremendously challenging from a vocal standpoint with a range from low alto to operatic soprano. VC is one of VERY few to be equally adept throughout all the vocal range - and on top of that, her acting is so mesmerizing!
This is such a perfectly acted and nuanced interpretation, that the fact that it is sung is almost irrelevant. I wonder if the subtleties of her performance were picked up by the audience in a large theater. In 2011, Chicago Shakespeare mounted a very intimate 3/4 thrust production of Follies. Victoria Clark would have been perfect for that production.
Hi! I didn't see the LA production, but I saw VC do this at City Center Encores. I sat in the last balcony, and every bit of VC's subtlety reached us waaaaaaaay up top. Excellent work always shines and makes an impact.
I agree....much better than Bernadette Peters (who I like), less mannered. Victoria is one of the best also a nice lady. I ran into her in a local marker and she was lovely to me....

She really is perfect for this role. Saw her do it at Encores
Love Victoria Clarke - great actress
This is why Victoria Clark is wonderful. She knows how to act the stilted dialogue from this musical like it's so natural
Victoria Clark in very fine form vocally and dramatically. The very best rendition...moving.
Simply perfect.Gorgeous singing.Wonderful gentle interpretation.
Her breath at the end is heartbreaking.
As always: beautifully, perfectly judged. 💜
How wonderful it is to watch songs being ACTED. (SIDE NOTE: The necklace that Clark is wearing is so SALLY DURANT!)
something her boy's bought...but she didnt notice?
Perfection
She just nails this song, more so than Bernadette, who I saw perform this on Broadway.

Larry Teolis Saw this production at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles and she (as well as the whole show) was breathtaking.
