Cast: Frances Ruffelle (Desirée), Neil Brand (piano)
Notes: Brand: "the quintessential Sondheim number: ambivalent, ironic, wry, bitter, humorous, full of insight and self-revelation". Writing for Glynis Johns, without held notes, with bright vowels, playing to her strengths. Waltz time, and exceptions within the song (12/8) bars, a technique to draw attention to key lines learned from Bernstein.
