yawn. she's got so much potential, too bad the choreographer didn't take advantage of her skills and talents. that was a bore.

Donna Murphy is amazing as always! Just loved the way she sang this... I heard many others and they didn't come close to this! But I get really really REALLY annoyed when people always compare her to Bernadette Peters and say that Bernadette is better. I think Donna Murphy is way better and I feel like Donna Murphy is in a league of her own and doesn't need to be compared to anyone else.

@TheNewyorker009 That would be great ... I could also picture Donna as Charlotte to Bernadette's Desiree.
Another good Phyllis/Sally pairing would be Donna and Audra McDonald. Aaaaah!

@90lysander I saw both them, and Jan live on Broadway. She's wonderful (though she doesn't quite succeed in stealing the show away from Bernadette, whose intensely emotional, powerhouse performance left me floored), and definitely a wonderful Phyllis. I hesitate to compare her to Donna since I adore Donna so much, that it leaves me biased and unwilling to consider anyone else, haha.

Best Phyllis ever! No competition.

Eh, I like Maxwell more.

@boynamedalexxx Did you ever watch the Jan Maxwell vids posted on YouTube? What were your thoughts on her vs. Donna?
-
Haha. It's rare to see Donna Murphy mess up like that
Still longing for the ultimate production of Follies-Bernadette plus Donna-the best Sondheim interpreters.

Donna Murphy (absolutely one of the best Sondheim interpreters) is probably the only actress that could make me more interested or invested in Phyllis over Sally (as the latter is a less showy, but ultimately richer role), but with Murphy, this is really Phyllis' show; even with the lyric flub, she's incredible. She's got the character down to a T. Her "Could I Leave You?" is the best I've ever seen.
Let's see if Jan Maxwell can thrill me just as much (reviews all point to yes!)
