lol poor Angela :P

[FeelingJoyful]

Wow she botched a good 40 seconds of that song. Not gunna lie, that was pretty bad, but still, I have to give her props for getting back on and everything and really owning the rest of it, not to mention the fact that this piece has absolutely crazy accompaniment.

[rlee1976]

That is probably one of the MOST DIFFICULT of Sondheim lyrics to execute, besides the ever-fast "Not Getting Married Today" from Company, which is not sung, but kinda spoken.... geez that must have been mortifying for her, but she pulled it back together as the pro Angela always does!

[simoontje1000]

it doesn't mind that she makes a mistake! she's so wonderful! :P



[BabyDillGerkin]

most interesting -- even a genius like Lansbury needs previews to "get there" -- thanks for posting

[clevm002]

Omg... even i got confused at the start, i was trying to remember it myself while she was... and i just couldnt.. she must of hated that... bless her!

[Jtscott18098]

Well done angie you r a pro at getting it back together

[thebradybunchlover]

Wheres the blooper at? i can't ear it good.

[TheBohemianTenor]

@thebradybunchlover right at the beginning, it's pretty obvious

[MarkN233]

she's still a pro for carrying on and going wrong, well done Angela!

[jammes122]

Aww she did make a few mistakes. But it was the first preview, so she was nowhere near settled into the role yet. Plus it's always tough during previews cause lines can change almost daily. Many times actors will learn something new that day during rehearsals and then have to perform it that night!

[1037pm]

that was horrible, at the beginning.

it got better though which is good.

i love angela, shes such a fantastic, regal woman and actress

we love you angela!

[beardedartisan]

Bloody hell. The MD wasn't interested in helping her out at all, was he?

[wiseone2]

Not fair............. the pit was along way from the stage action. The set was huge!

[Fiyero918]

oh my god!

That poor thing.

[hillevifan]

Wow I want to say that was good, but I can't! But seeing her other performances- I kno this was just a one time thing ^_^

[avenueyay]

Aw i feel so bad, that was a rough night for her. I wonder if it was the opening night or something. I love her anyway<3

[MissDellaReese]

It was only a preview performance, so if you're going to mess up, now is the time to get it out of the way.

Every other performance after, she nailed.

[kylejb]

Congrats to Angela on her 5th Tony!

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

I don't blame her for this song. Its so fast and hard. "A CUSTOMER! "

[LittleLaura1994]

Even though she made a mistake, she covered it up brilliantly. That is what true legends do....!

Angela Lansbury is the best!!
