My school is doing The Drowsy Chaperone, I've been watching productions of it and I'm very glad to find something from the original cast. I'm a girl but I am an alto and I can go pretty deep so I'm hoping to get The Man in the Chair or Aldolpho 🥹 or possibly George or the Chaperone if nothing else...Thank you for uploading!!

I love this song! Perfect example of Sondheims genius with lyrics. No one , no one could ever write lyrics and rhymes like this.

When I saw the thumbnail I recognized the blue dress and I knew it was Dame Miller!

My guess is that since he was feeling so blue, he decided to sing a bit of his favorite song from his favorite show, but now the record is holding more weight and gives him a big hug and he receives a bit of hope that takes him to a short state of nirvana. Not everything is going to work out, but the joy of these old timey musicals is that no matter how dark things may get, things will find a way to turn around. It may be a random Aviatrix that comes to marry everyone in the end, or it may be a man in a chair finding hope again, but things are going to be ok

Bob Martin is genuinely one of the most talented people on earth

it is ASTONISHING that a regional theater in Jersey put on a production like this.

Donna is such a wonderful Sally. Second only to Dorothy Collins.

VWHILE YOU CAN

THEY'RE GANSTAS.... .... .... FROM OHIO!!!! I lost half an hour to this clip.

Wow! Amazing!

How wonderful to see so many great actors especially, Mr Bracken. He was always one of my favourites.

THIS was Broadway! It's only a memory.

The performers should be named.

Saw Follies three times. Saw Dorothy Collins stop the show with this song at each one.,

Perfect

What a wonderful performance 🎉

Howwwwwwwwe

This is the revival version that should have come to B’way. I think there were plans for that and/or a possible PBS broadcast. So grateful I saw this.

The song and the voice and the performance. Dorothy Loudon. Such a talent.

A black woman having a solo like this in like 2005 makes me SO happy, I hope to play Trix some day! 🫶🏾

Obsessed with the harmonies of the gangsters at the beginning

I love this song and I loved her Phyllis!

Some of Sondheim's best lyrics. "But no one dared to query her superior exterior," and "She'd only allow a man to see enough to fan his fantasy."

I have seen many productions of this show. The broadway original, DC production, both Broadway revivals, Encores!, Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Paper Mill Playhouse, Carnegie Hall concert, 2017 London revival, & various community theater productions. Even a high school production that was unexpectedly great. At the end of the day, though, Dorothy Collins’ version of Losing My Mind remains the definitive version for me. Her emotions straddle the fine line among love, wistfulness, longing, pain, anger, hopelessness & despair without going too far with any one of those emotions. Which is why the song has been called a nervous breakdown set to music, because a breakdown encompssses all those emotions in equal measure. ❤

Total bliss. Nobody will ever even come close.

2:25 Start of "Beautiful Girls"

Best buddy's blues ever

I am unfamiliar with Dee Hoty's work, which is definitely my loss as this was a stellar performance of a particularly tricky song with a whole lot else going on too. Plus she was clearly having the time of her life performing it.

Her voice took me immediately. I couldn’t believe it was the same gal from SNL!

This song seems to be crazy, but then you watch 1933's Flying Down to Rio, where there's an entire number of people doing a choreography on airplanes over Rio de Janeiro

currently having a blast playing kitty in this :) this musical is SO FUN

"I feel very strongly about momentos. Memorabilia, I guess you'd call them"

Wow

She killed this! Absolutely beautiful 👏

I just love this original version. It’s less theatrical or operatic than most of the more recent covers. It rather has some sort of nightclub torch song feel that suits the song perfectly.

Like performing in a misty fog. This show changed all the rules.

Dorothy Loudon and Dorothy Collins were two of the greatest performers of early Sondheim in the sixties. Merv Griffin and Dick Cavett had marvelous Broadway stars on in the afternoons. A thrill for this tiny theater tot! Wonderful memories.

Letting your adult children go is heartbreaking for mothers but you have to…. they have to live their own lives. One day they are young children riding a bicycle behind you - You turn around again and they are gone …off on their own path. 😢

What was the “Around the World” pic Lil Edie was showing us in Grey Gardens? A magazine from the 70’s or a Broadway Play Magazine from Around the World in 80 days? or maybe Bing Crosby song 1956? Wondering?

At the beginning of the show you wondered if Dee Hoty was the best choice for Phyllis, but by this time you were convinced she owned it.

I saw her in the original. How great a singer. What a great song. No one does it better. I saw Follies twice, and although now i am at 80, and have seen so many hits and flops, this is the best.

Love Georgia engel

I love phyllis newman

Saw this on Broadway with the OBC, I forgot how funny it is.

This is so much more natural than any other version I’ve seen

It’s a very funny song!

Perfection

i wish marin played sally in this production. she and donna’s phyllis would have been an unstoppable force

oh my god thank you for uploading this
