I love the fact that they support one anther, but no one pretends that something is great when it's not.&nbsp; Then, when the magic happens, everyone feels it together in the room.</p> <p>The documentary also captures the great Elaine Stritch recording "Ladies who Lunch" in the middle of the night --- remember they're also doing 8 shoes a week on the stage!&nbsp; She's struggling and everyone knows it.&nbsp; The whole orchestra knows it (how cool to record live like this), and Sondheim (smoking in the booth!) knows it.&nbsp; And then, in one glorious take, it all comes together.&nbsp; </p> <p>And isn't "Being Alive" a marvelous, thought-provoking song?&nbsp; Sondheim really understands the angst of the 70s.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dean-jones---being-alive#post-1550848 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 13:56:25 +0000 kellygirl 1550848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing!
