- Another one of my favorite interpreters of Sondheim's work - Donna Murphy as Phyllis in the City Center Encores! production of Follies. I'm not really a big fan of this particular production but at least Donna, Vicki Clark, Lucine Amara, and Mimi Hines managed to save it with their stellar performances.
More people need to know the name “Donna Murphy”
She is so shockingly good and a two time tony award winner, so I thought everyone did know her name but I was suprised to find out that this isn't always the case. To me she is one of the greats!
Not one cd
Her Dolly was magnificent! As well as everything else.
A whole generation know her as Mother Gothel from Tangled! Lucky.
Donna Murphy is an amazing talent xx a godess of theatre xx
I got really excited when Bernadette made an appearance at 4:24
boywithdreams12 LMAO
Hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha
LMAOOOOOOO
OMG YEEES
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAA
Her voice is SO clear! gosh what a talent
Hahah! I love Donny Murphy’s riveting performance here! I watched her on Sondheim’s 80th Birthday video and seeing her in this Broadway act is even more fun to watch! Her voice is just tinged with regret and sarcasm and heartbreak!
Well done. With venom and terrific attention to the words (having heard Sondheim sung by otherwise terrific singers who were more in love with the sound of their voice than communicating and interpreting, can't take that for granted.) Thanks!
Love this performance. Such passion and righteous anger. And she's gorgeous. A wonderful Phyllis.
the definitive versions of this song are 1) donna murphy with a scene partner and 2) donna murphy without a scene partner (red dress segment at sondheim’s bday concert)
Absolutely phenomenal!!! She enthralls her audience, and keeps us captivated the entire time she's on stage....hands down, she is by far my favourite Broadway Diva! Thanks for posting!
Master. Class. Absolute perfection.
a great interpretation with the balance pretty spot on where the vituperation meets resolute sardonistic release of pent up anger and bitterness; power and control and vulnerability unlike the versions where the performer becomes victim this is the character finding her chuzpah and freedom on voice
I was so fortunate to be there in 2007. She was, and is, awe inspiring. Thank you, Donna.
Magnificent.
Just Perfect.
Sondheim himself said that that Alexis Smith's rendition is his favorite, since he wrote it for her. There are many examples of Murphy doing it and each one is different. It's one of those songs that can NOT be sung wrong if the singer sings the meaning.
She’s just amazing!
Absolutely the best version I have heard. Her portrayal is astonishing!!!🙏😍
Donna Murphy is just outstanding!
I. LOVE. HER. BRAVO!
i adore her
a great voice for this song, that alexis smith and lee remick never really had. she does this so well. even better at the sondheim birthday bash. terrific, thanks.
Lee was a Great Actress. But, not good singing this song.
We don’t talk about this performance enough.
Perfection!
Was a concert production with amazing performances ... wish they had taken this cast into a full production.
Miss Murphy is incredible xx
Thanks for this gem. Wonderful.
Perfect.
Superb.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ;____;
Donna is such a movie actress
BRILLIANCE.
Great Talent.
The best.
You know what she's not doing, that so many younger performers do? She's not wearing a mic. A true actor doesn't need one.
Donna, Bernadette and Patti were just MADE to perform sondheim ❤
Hmm, I don’t think Patti belongs on this list. She’s a belter compared to the others, and lacks nuance in her interpretations. She wasn’t part of any original Sondheim productions, unlike Donna and of course, Bernadette.
@@tuberaxxI sort of agree she doesn’t dig into the layers of Sondheims work everyone says she’s great as rose but Angela is better patti just belts and over does it at times
In my estimation - the best performance.
Lucine Amara also!!! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹 Donna....magic 👌🙏😘
Amazing that she started her career performing at the Improv and has gone on to be such a legend
How funny: our current part time Dolly with the future Horace Vandegelder!
YES!
ughhh she so goddamn amazing. I can't even.
My favorite song from the show, although “I’m Still Here” is a very close second.
With the great Victor Garber!
jejejejeje she's just like Mother Gothel but in human version XDDD
Mauricio_Ibieta That’s because she is Mother Gothel
Too bad about the poor audio quality.
It assumed you were gay. Welcome to my world :)
I dont know whats more sad. That it sounds like "Last Midnight" or Last Midnight is basically the same song
youtube recommended I watch Justin Bieber takes his shirt off while singing Baby because I watched this ... right :/
Stunning,,,but Dee Hoty is vocally superior to every Phyllis.
Unlike her predecessor Alexis Smith, I want nothing to do with the character portrayed here.
She is venomous and we must ask her spouse why he didn't leave her when he had the chance.
Miss Murphy makes the scene backfire.
Don't marry her then. She's too good for you.
