Lucky to see her in 1973. Sitting in the second the row, watching to tears flow down her face. With the great Len Cariou...Frederick Egerman, Sweeney Todd.
"The song sat so well in Glynis' voice that at the recording session, even though she'd never recorded a song before, she did it perfectly in one take. I've heard it sung by many fine singers (I'm happy to say), but to me her version is still the most satisfying." - Stephen Sondheim.
I have been a fan of "A Little Night Music" for decades. I have the Broadway cast album with Glynis Johns as Desiree singing her signature "Send in the Clowns." We were lucky enough to see her in the revival in L.A. when she played the role of Desiree's mother, Madam Armfelt.......Thank you, Glynis, for all the years of film, theater, and TV, where you used your "highest sense of intelligence", as you said. Well done, after 100 years of life! 👏 Safe journey back home. ♥
What a wonderful video! I saw the original production and thought it was enchanting at the time. Johns and Cariou were both perfect for their roles, and this still remains my favorite production opf the work.

Holy shit! The man Stephen Sondheim said it himself. I absolutely hate this stupid "non-hummable critique" people utter. It's the same stupid "memorable" thing that people kept talking about. I can hum the entirety of the rite of spring, because I've listened to it a bunch. People say something isn't memorable like it's a measure of quality when it actually just means they don't know the music. Nothing more nothing less
No one does this song like Glynis johns. How did you get this. Bernadette was great as well, though the production was nowhere as good as the original. And Len cariou. How wonderful. He was wonderful with Lansbury as well in Sweeney Todd.

RIP Glynis Johns (October 5, 1923 - January 4, 2024), aged 100
You will be remembered as a legend.
I'm guessing her Christian Science Faith worked for her
She was so much more than Mrs Banks

She was so talented and beautiful. We were so lucky to have her for a 100 years. God Bless.

I mean, he did write to for her so you'd hope he liked it.
She had recorded before, for MARY POPPINS, a soundtrack album that sold millions of copies.
@@robramos1500 actually what I was thinking too, they seemed to have forgotten about her singing in Mary Poppins

Hughes Rudd. A great newsman.
This is my first time hearing him. I like him.
What a wonderful video! I saw the original production and thought it was enchanting at the time. Johns and Cariou were both perfect for their roles, and this still remains my favorite production opf the work.
I did too and I can still see her singing this song.
I knew it was Hughes Rudd the first moment I heard his voice. I miss that man terribly. A class act in broadcasting.

Well...maybe...but please hum Bach. ;)
I just find 0:09 Gloria Swanson was on her show, someday maybe we can find her video

Lansbury herself also did a marvellous version of this song
They both starred together with Danny Kaye in The Court Jester!
❤
She starts singing at 4:52.
lol 50 years ago: The predictions of the demise of Broadway are nothing new!
Wow! That long ago. This is the first time I have heard Glynis John sing “Send in the Clowns”. To me it’s the best version
Shouldve been made a dame
What’s the source of this video? Is this from the archive at Lincoln Center?
Is her from the i Mary Poppins film
RIP Glynis Johns...
