I thought that this was a fine interpretation of the songs and the choreography and timing is nearly as good as the original. The sound was great and the come together at the end great. It must be a challenging piece to do. They'll never be anything as perfect as 1971. I too have a cornucopia of imperfections.
Originally from Sondheim’s “Follies” and then the revue…. This performance is spot on. No need for comparison. Each rendition is delightful. And kudos to the orchestra. I’d be curious what Sondheim thought. This was 2011 and he died in 2021.
Too young and not really the right qualities. Listen to Dorothy Collins as a mature mezzo in the original. May never be topped & I've seen several with wonderful interpretations.
Laura Osnes is very young for Sally.She is in her late fourties or early fifties.Dorothy Collins was cast as Sally after Barbara Cook was rejected because she was in a bad period of her life so Sally can be a mezzo like Collins or a soprano like Cook.
@@hawby7mgh You are so right. Collins was superb; saw her at the Winter Garden in '71. I realize these kids are doing a different song, but they're so smug it's almost scary.
I think it perfectly reflects the compromises of settling for the partner who is giving you the life you want rather than the tougher choice of your heart's desire. Many people settle for what we present to our community instead of who we love/are. Kinda the point of the show. PS: there is nothing wrong with the performers technique; they are spot on.
The entire purpose of this number is to be heightened showbiz and to lampoon the underlying dysfunction the young selves don’t anticipate. You want the Loveland sequence to be more… realistic? When it’s a literal manifestation of theatrical emotional catharsis? Sounds like someone didn’t get the point…
I was wondering who the blonde woman was since she was so good and it turned out to be Jenn Collela 😂 She looks so different with this hair

I saw the Original 5 times and her delivery of that line said volumes about Sally!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good the brass section sounds at 4:30
Killer orchestration - the great Jonathan Tunick.
It’s addicting!
can you imagine having to perform this every night, for months / years on end - and get it perfect every time.
The orchestrations are genius.
Here to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Follies. This performance is a magical way to celebrate.
The intertwined choreo is kinda perfect.
It's a shame that both Bobby Steggert and Matt Cavenaugh decided to walk away from their acting careers.
I didn't know that. I saw him in "My Paris" a few years ago.
@BruceWhan and @coltrobertson - it's Matt Cavenaugh & Jenn Collela and then Bobby Steggert & Laura Osnes
When do we get Laura Osnes as adult Sally? Or, frankly, Phyllis. Laura Osnes Plays Everyone in Follies. Coming 2045.

Here there are the young Phillis Sally Ben and Buddy

Makes you realize how good Michael Bennet’s original choreography was. This staging was blah.
@BruceWhan Mattt Cavenaugh and Jenn Colella, and Bobby Steggert and Laura Osnes.
I miss the phenomenal talent of Bobby Steggert onstage but he’s doing real good in the world so I’ll try not to be selfish
Young performers names please they shine 🥰😍🤩🤩🤩
First, Jenn Collela and Matt Cavenaugh
Later, Laura Osnes and Booby Steggert
@@alexmg3648 thanks! Recognized Laura and Matt but not the others. 😊
I'll say..especially the male in the older couple..and his moves are pure velvet..would love to follow him..but name please🙃
@@judithfowkes2664 all great
@@alexmg3648 thanks honey

Since he's offering her blue chip riches, why does he offer her a piece of obviously junk jewelry strung on elastic at 0:31?
Is she miming
???
GHASTLY! Smug "technique" with zero humanity. Why was this given as top choice for this wonderful song of Sondheim's? All slickness, zero heart.

Good Lord. She has a tattoo. Trash. 2:22
Good God. A tattoo. Never mind.
Something upset your delicate snowflake sensibilities?
