    She is the QUEEN. In '80 I had the stunning pleasure of seeing her in Sweeney Todd. My date was good friends, had gone to William and Mary with, a girl named Glenny Close, who was living with Len Cariou, who played Sweeney. We picked up "Glenny" and went to the theatre, then after the show went backstage, saw their Tony Awards, then met Ms. Lansbury and Mr. Cariou at Jo Allens (?). "Glenny" had just auditioned for Barnum, the musical that pretty much got her started. I was overwhelmed with the evening, still gives me chills. Mr. Cariou bought me a very expensive pack of some kind of cigarette ( I didn't smoke but when he offered I smoked!). Ms.Lansbury had a salad and went home. But, "Len", "Glenny", my date and I sat and talked for about an hour or so. Mr. Cariou ( he asked me to call him Len) talked about the special voice coach Sondheim had hired for them. We talked about "Glenny's" audition (which, of course, she won). What a night! Later I had to go back to my 'space' in a fourth floor, rat-infested apartment on the lowest, lower East Side. But, wow!

I instructed the apprentice in charge of her dressing room to slip it in and swore her to secrecy! Of course Angela did not relent until she found out who made the cake, and complimented me profusely, even though the cake was a pedestrian effort! I will always treasure my experience with her, even if her offer of being her personal chef/baker was just

    What she says about musical theatre being owned in the moment for the people who are there watching it and the stats who are performing it is spot on. Of love, in A Chorus Line, 'the gift was ours to borrow...' and true of the music and performance of any beloved production in the heart of the audience viewing. A beautiful thing to say and, of course... Angela. What an absolute knock out in all she does. The woman is truely an outstanding performer.

They all were better at some things than others, but NOT ONE came close to Merman in the power and drive of that woman. And all the other actresses that followed had that performance to build on and grow from. She sang AND ACTED the crap out of it, and I will never forget it as long as I live!!!

      Wow. I’ve never seen a person comment who has seen ALL of those greats do Gypsy. That’s phenomenal to be able to have memories of all of them. I managed to see Bernadette sing it live on a trip to NYC and loved seeing her and the production. On another trip over the preview I was supposed to see of Patti was cancelled. (I ran around the corner and saw the brilliant revival of A Chorus Line!) I’ve now added Imelda Staunton’s version in London too. I’m not sure we’ll see the like of those huge characters do it again in this modern era. But here’s hoping for another exciting interpretation in the West End or on Broadway with another force of nature soon!
