Fuck Yeah Stephen Sondheim

The Story of Lucy & Jesse
London Concert

stephenrettger:

“The Story of Lucy and Jessie.” Donna McKechnie. 1996 BBC radio concert broadcast.

Donna McKechnie is the only actress I can think of to play all three major female roles in Follies. She played Phyllis here, 1996. 1998, she played Sally at New Jersey’s Papermill Playhouse. 2002, she first played Carlotta at LA Reprise.

I’m not sure what qualifies Carlotta as the third “major role” — is she really all that much more important than Stella or Hattie or Emily or Vanessa? But it’s a great recording.
