Follies
Sunday night, my, how a show can change:
Victoria Clark as Sally: 9 She is one of the few that did not grow since dress rehersal. Gorgeous voice.
Donna Murphy as Phyllis: 9 Her timing got better. She has it all, but the dance moves.
Victor Garber as Ben: 5 Better, but still miscast. Ben has to have a real voice. VG does not. But his acting seemed less stilted.
Michael McGrath as Buddy: 5 Still not right either. Buddy is a very annoying charecter. At least he makes it somewhat watchable.
Christine Baranski as Carlotta: 6 Mis-cast. "I'm Still Here" should have been sung standing in one place. No movement, no gesturing. She would have killed. I love her comic timing.
Anne Rogers and Robert Fitch: 7 "Rain on the Roof" Much better. Obviously having a ball tonight.
SloppyYvonne Constant as Solange: 1 At least tonight I could understand her.
Mimi Hines as Hattie: 8 I really love her voice. The performance didn't change an ounce since the rehersal.
JoAnne Worley as Stella: 8 Same thing. The performance didnt change a bit.
The Folly Youth: 9.5 Fantastic four-some. They were really terrific to watch again.
The costumes: 9.5
Fantastic show. I hope the "planned" movie is as good.
