Sondheim teaches Send In The Clowns (Part 1)

Steve sondhiem is so adorable in that old man way.

It was written that way because the original actress couldn't handle singing it in a sustained manner. As marv1984 points out, Sondheim is sitting right there, and he has a smile on his face the entire time she sings; he obviously approves of her performance.

yeah, perhaps but then the guy who wrote it in the first place is sitting there in front of her and he doesn't seem to mind does ?
So maybe let it go..just enjoy it !

Oh my, I love this voice.

Wow, to actually get comments from the composer! How fabulous. I have to post this for my voice students!

In love with sondheim music

think of scary it would be to do this with sondheim... the master himself....scary... but oh so priveldged and awsome!

i envy this woman so much right now...=P

This is the first time I've understood the words "Don't you love farce ..." Would that all the singers of this song were mindful of diction there.

looking at this video it makes me feel that i have been given entrance to a very personal and secret world...(Thank you) ..the entrance that has been given me merits no criticism of this world...I am not a singer and i don't think you need to be one to know that everyone who partook in the making of this video are working towards one goal...
