@jebeja Of course, she is a vocalist, not a singer/actor. These B'way performers never attempted careers as a singer like Warwick, who was wonderful. I love her in all the Bacharach repertory. [Eydie Gorme sang rings around Angela Lansbury in "If He Walked into My Life Today" but she was no actress. In the context of the show -- Mame -- no one could be more moving than Lansbury.]

Sean Hayes sounds more softer then Jerry Orbach. I can sing Sean Haye's version better.
-
@DancingFalcons It wasnt just Roberts; Dionne Warwick hated singing this song as well because of the wierd time changes - she said it was by far the most difficult song she ever recorded.
-
@jamesjeffreypaul Jill O'Hara; both Orbach and O'Hara were nominated for the tony in 1969 (Orbach won but O'Hara lost to Angela Lansbury).

Thanks for remembering the late, great Jerry Orbach. Who played the role of Fran in the original 1968 production?

Yes, I love Dionne Warwick's rendition. Just great! However, she didn't have to do this on Broadway six times a week. A few times in a recording sudio to get it perfect, which it was.
My hat goes off to Jerry Orbach and others who did this day in and day out. I just love Jerry's rendtion. Just love him in anything. TV's Law and Order was never the same without him.
Of course, I could listen to Dionne singing anthing forever.

As a young kid this was the first Broadway show I ever attended. Not into the hippie scene, I loved this show. Still listen to the album to this day! Orbach and O'Hara were great!
