Yup, a LIVE Sondheim show this Sunday
(omigosh...that's tomorrow! I better get ready!)
on 2 On The Aisle.
A belated birthday party...with (above)
Merrily We Roll Along.
In the back (and in the beard), Stephen, book writer George Furth,
and Hal Prince.
Front row, Jim Walton, Ann Morrison, and Lonny Price
who starred.
Audiences complained who was who in the production,
so they put 'em in sweatshirts with their names on.
Hmmmm...
Lee Remick in the 1985 Lincoln Center concert version
of Follies.
She played Phyllis and got to sing a couple of the best songs,
"The Story Of Lucy And Jessie" and
"Could I Leave You?"
We all know the answer to that question.
Edmund Lyndeck and Jack Eric Williams
as Judge Turpin and Beadle Bamford, respectively,
in the 1979 original production of Sweeney Todd.
Jack's Broadway debut.
Sondheim actually wrote those sweet falsetto lines
just for him!
Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 50, in 1994.
That's Jack on the left, below,
with Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury.

A revival production of Pacific Overtures,
and the song..."Pretty Lady".
Side By Side By Side,
from Company.
Beth Howland and Dean Jones at the far right.
Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin in
rehearsal for
Sunday In The Party With George, 1984.
They look like they're 14 years old!

Do YOU Hear a Waltz??
Well, not really...
Goddard Lieberson, Sergio Franchi, Elizabeth Allen,
Stephen and Richard Rodgers
readying no doubt for the recording of the cast album.
It's a pretty well known fact
that Stephen and Richard did NOT get along on this production,
and RR kept a not-so-hidden bottle of "juice" in his piano,
when medication was necessary.

Zero Mostel and Jack Gilford
in Forum, 1962.
Both of course would portray the same
characters (Pseudolus and Hysterium) in the film version.
We'll hear Zero's "Pretty Little Picture"
and Nathan Lane (in the revival) with "Free."

Alexis Smith
starring in the original production of Follies.
Those incredible costumes? Florence Klotz. The set design? Boris Aronson.
The 1971 production won 7 Tonys altogether,
and lasted over 500 performances...
but due to the fact that it was one of the costliest
Broadway productions at the time,
it never recouped its investment.

Oh, to be part of that quartet!
Stephen with Lenny B., Adolph G. and Roddy McD!
