  • This song is just so exciting and gives me these goosebumps and I love it.

  • I honestly don't understand how they sang for 12 hour periods...my voice would die out so fast...then again, they were pros and im not but still

  • we'll be here til 4 am. everybody smile.. ha ha!!

  • The ONLY rendition of this song I can really enjoy. So incredibly challenging, this one. Tunick's arrangements are just divine here too.

  • Her voice is truly amazing. Like it's hard for me to believe she can even belt some of those notes.

  • the guy's beard at 2:07

  • It is an absolute delight to see and hear this! Such remarkable talent!

    Thank you so very much for these clips, they are wonderful!

  • I love when she's holding her arm against her back and she nails the performance, This documentary is excellent, and Pamela is a big reason why.

  • Jonathan Tunick's brilliant arrangements!

  • I just realized where I heard the name Pamela Myers from. She's the original Peppermint Patty in Snoopy the musical. lol and I have that album and everything. lol

  • @Straw2daberry Karen Johnson was the original Patty, not Pamela Myers

  • I adore the way she sings "work" and "stare". It's just so fluid and pretty c:

  • I've loved this song for 40 years! .. It just reeks of New York! .. Go, Pam!!

  • LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELO­VELOVELOVELOVE

  • I love this but I think I like the lower key better :/

  • watch?v=g9zIMNDEAcU

  • 5:45 FLAT!!!!!

  • Way better than Angel Desai's shouting match of a performance. Plus, she's not cross-eyed.

  • Incredible; wonderful lyrics and immensely well done perforance

  • I Love Her Vibrato On "Stranger.."

  • I love how the orchestra is so prominant and Pamela is subdued...this emphasizes how incredible Sondheim's composing is vs. his lyrics

  • I love the orchestration of this song!

  • This lilting tune is as lovely as Leslie Bricusse's Imagination. Flawless and takes you back to walks in Central Park several decades ago....

  • I find this number so clever. It's an American type of intelligence: pragmatic harmonies that go straight to the point. Sondheim is a giant of songwriting: so sad that he's kind of an American secret.

  • it's great to sondheim clean shaven pre-1976 i beleave.

  • Listen this particularly sound of the music, the 70's I was a baby at this moment but my mother, yet she's french, listened a lot musicals from US, and the voice of Pamela Meyers, for me today she still the best performer of this play. Look ll the musicians very councious, and this sequence behind the scenes, on recording I suppose, very great moment. It's happened at New York, right? SONDHEIM, what a man!!!!

    Beautifull...very emotional! Frédérick, FRANCE.

  • Ha ... always makes me so happy hearing the "Bobby Baby" motif in the arrangement at 1:55.

  • Johnathan Tunick is a legend!

  • Wow - I never noticed that until I heard it isolated in this film.

  • @beardedartisan Me too!!! That's the best moment.

  • @beardedartisan Omigod, I read in Seth's book that that was there, but I could never hear it. Then I heard for the first time on this video, now that's like all I can hear when we get to that part.

  • it just sounds so effortless and beautiful when she sings it!! amazing

  • amazing

  • Originally she thought this was going to be a ballad...when she finally learned it perfectly, the composer told her he wanted it very fast. perfect

  • No one can ever do this better than Pam myers...Many have tried

  • i feel angel dessai comes close personally :)

  • I think she's great, as well. What do you think of her emphasis on the word "just," though?

  • i think it high lights at the end of the day she loves new york and shes remembering how excited she was when she just got off the train (ok that sounded v good in my head lol)

  • Whether Sondheim intended it or not, it's correct.
