    I think she sounded fine. Didn't need to go through all of that.

    I agree. I kinda like the roughed-edged beauty of her original.

    So this is my idea: A feature dramatic film about what they went through to get the cast album perfect. Call it "Recording "Company.""

    I see Meryl Streep, all boozy and blousy, as Ms. Stritch and Philip Seymour Hoffman as the genius Sondheim.

    What'd ya think ...?

    If Judy had seen this i'm sure she would have nodded slowly and said Fuckem Stritchy, you hang on in there.

    When you're a legend you're allowed to be a bit of a bitch. Notice she was a bitch to NO ONE but herself. The greatest artists are their own worst critics.

    As an actor myself, I know how she feels. When I perform, I often get frustrated whenever I can't get something right. (I can imagine that would increase tenfold when you're performing for someone like Sondheim, hehe.) And it's a great comfort to know that even the most seasoned Broadway veterans have those moments too.

    So Sondheim wanted her with hair and make up, I guess, cause I don't see a lot of difference in her singing. She still yells.

    "look as glamorous...as she...can." ROFL

    Prince nails it. Stritch is a one-off. Love her, hate her, love AND hate her... there will never be another like her.

    She has said that she deals with alcohol problems, so probably.
