Follies " Broadway Baby "

[Berglernut]

I absolutely adore this video. These ladies rock.

[peaceloveanime286]

I'm so confused

[cdltaug27]

when i was little and watch it off from my DVD "Hey, Mr. Producer", i always points at the TV and say" Hey! The pianist is the Fagin from Oliver Twist and also Elizabeth Swan's father from the Pirates of Caribbean!"

[MissRamble]

Oh no Julia Mackenzie, Do not even TRY to compete with Bernadette Peters. Ha ha.

[peerkbh]

@MissRamble:

Julia McKenzie sang this song YEARS before Bernadette Peters dared to go near it. I saw the original London-production of Side by Side by Sondheim 15 times as a teenager, not realizing then that it was one of the gayest things I would ever do in my entire gay life. Julia McKenzie gave me a huge lump in my throat every time and she still does. Please by kind :-)

[MissRamble]

@peerkbh I don't mean Julia isn't good, she's amazing I love her too, I was more making a comment on how Bernadette Peters totally takes over and owns it. It was nothing against Julia.

@peerkbh Here's aflash for you: 'Broadway Baby' was NOT originated in Side by Side by Sondheim. It's originally from "Follies"- premiered on Broadway by someone who wasn't the glorious Julia McKenzie.

[peerkbh]

@mmbr01rrf :

Thanks for your comment but I already knew that. Side by Side is of course a compilation of songs from other shows - an early Sondheim's Greatest if you will. Seeing Follies in London with Julia McKenzie some years later was another unforgettable experience, but I am fully aware that she was not the first to sing the song. Just the best :-)

[msanchez1395]

The 1 person who disliked this was the pianist

[lickyhills1]

great to see su pollard on the stage!! camp as tits!!

[crackerpopskikay]

I gotta say it!!! I love Bernadette soooooo fucking much!!!

[MichelaSings]

@Jamieleeke14 Ohhhhh. That makes MUCH more sense.

[abiluvsxxoo]

She said "I love ya Cameron!"

[MichelaSings]

@BernadettePetersx3, I heard "I love ya and I'm rich!"

[jamieleeke14]

@MichelaSings She says "I love ya Cameron!", she doesn't say the word "rich".

[BernadettePetersx3]

I like how every time someone came in , Bernadette stopped singing & gave an attitude like , " what the hell , i should be the only one singing this " [: Bernadette was the best and the funniest at singing and performing this song. I just bought it on itunes & its exactly the same. I also LOVE how Bernadette & the lady from the beginning harmonized and Bernadette was like " Ohhhh geeee , " & "TWINKLING , TWINKLING , TWINKLING ! " <3333

[mmarie0789]

ZOMG it's the narrator from my donny osmond version of joseph!

[Mattbrain]

That's Jonathan Pryce as the piano player, right?

[SwiftyNoodle]

[HelenaKoonings]

[feenix00]

[saint973]

who's that blonde haired woman with the glasses in the miniskirt and tuxedo

[tg05townsends]

@saint973 looks like paul o'grady

[bunnyk1]

@saint973 I believe she's the wonderfully talented Su Pollard :-)

[JakeAaronGT]

I think Julia Mckenzie needs some credit for this video aswell!! She's a brilliant comedian and singer!! Her and Bernadette Peters are tied for Sondheim's favourite interpreters.

[MzCharmedFan0214]

bernadette! :D
