Sunday in the Park with Stephen: UK Omnibus Special

[90lysander]

Why in the world was there not a recording this cast? Ugh. The singing sounds so much better than the recent revival.

[bbellac]

0 dislikes. That shows something!

Maria's performing in 'Sing for Your Supper' this August (2009) at Cadogan Hall, London

[firestartertwistedfi]

anyone else hate 'finishing the hat'? someone must have done a parody of it

[Chriswren9]

So what is the deal with baritones playing this role?!?! First it was Robert Westenberg (who replaced Patinkin on Broadway)then Philip Quast who is GREAT mind you, but I just don't understand how these baritones can handle such numbers as "Finishing the Hat". Not to say it can't be done it's just not in the "normal" baritone rang.

Thanks for posting this rare glimpse at the OLC!

[Hasselhoffhater]

Well there High Baritones' so they can handle low tenor roles such as George.

[AdamEfimoff]

@Chriswren9 you know Philip Quast won a lot of awards for this role but it is hard to do this then go into South Pacific

[livetheatre]

Quast has some Mandy influence in his interp of the role for sure.

I wish this production has a CR. I think I'd like it better than the revival recording. But nothing can beat the original for me.

[anng91]

I was in this production with I was 10 and watching it now, 17 years on has made my day! Thank you so much!

[musicals7]

Did you play Louise?

thanks.

[musicals7]

that's to anng91

[Don11122]

Sorry, only just seen your message. Yes I did! It was such a long time ago but I still dream about it. Such an amazing experience.

I think I like Phillip Quast better in this than in Les Mis. Even though, Mandy Patinkin will ALWAYS be George.

[gahanwilson]

Didn't Philip Quast play Javert in Les Miz?

[renethel]

yes he did, gahanwilson! he was in the dream cast (10th Ann. Cast) as well as being in it on the West End of Les Mis!

[EponineJavert]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Philip Quast so much! And now I'm a fan of Maria Friedman. (I was already a fan of Sondheim :) ) I wish this was recorded! I love Bernadette Peters, but I love to hear Philip Quast in anything I can (which currently is only Les Miserables)

[tommcfurgle]

Nice video. Enjoyed the performance as well as the narration from Sondheim.

[Hassolffhater]

It's strange too see philip palying as someone eles other than Javert.

[Amkii]

YAAAY!!! THANK YOU for this!!! I absolutely ADORE Philip Quast, and Maria Friedman has been a fav of mine for a while now...ever since I heard her in The Woman in White...she's so fantastic! And I've loved PQ even longer...what an amazing voice, acting ability, and man! He's really beautiful, too...lol ;) THANK YOU!!!

[EponineJavert]

Ditto :D

[xxsofaxx]

Omg! I love Philip Quast! Such as an amazing voice! ^^

[ruddyduck]

Ah that man can sing! Woot! *Not that I didn't know that already* Thanks for sharing!

[fishtoes]

oooh, it's nice to hear a different take, since "Sunday" was not around long enough to have many interpretations! Maria has a lovely voice, and it's encouraging to know that it's not impossible for a soprano to take Dot's role (can you sense my wishful thinking?) Philip sounds good, too. And Stephen always sounds good :)

[NickShadow]

Maria Friedman is so fantastic. Why, oh why, didn't this production get a recording? I could listen to it forever!

[sicetergo]

Thank you for this. Wasn't Maria wonderful in that part!

[lilycraven]

I love those two so much! I've always wanted to see a clip from this production. Thank you for posting this!
