I agree with jemb2000 ... I had planned to see Follies in Washington and New York but never got around to it. So when the LA remount was announced I made a huge effort to go down (from Vancouver, Canada) to see it. I was annoyed that BP was not going to LA. However when I saw Victoria Clark as Sally Durant ... what a revelation! She was the soul of the production. Absolutely devastating in Losing My Mind.
Thanks for posting! Vicki Clark is awesome! Isn't it amazing how Sondheim can write a masterpiece of a song about something as mundane as the unfulfilled yearnings of a bored housewife who simply can't let go of the past? Follies is by far Sondheim's best work imho (and no I haven't forgotten Sweeney and A Little Night Music) and Vicki nailed it! I loved her in the 2007 Encores production of Follies and I'm so happy she got the chance to play Sally once again. Amazing as always. :)
@garçonfrancais ... At the point of the show where this song is sung is during the Loveland fantasy sequence where each of the four leads get to perform a "follies" style number. Losing My Mind is the torch song so her stance at the beginning is quite appropriate
nothing more predictable than watching a beautiful and moving performance only to scroll down and see a bunch of rancid bitter queens in the comment section, pissing on talented women by comparing them to death
Exquisite. If Ms Clark'd got to open the production, Audra McDonald may have had to wait for her first Leading Actress Tony. Thanks so much for posting!
George - having seen it in New York with the aging, vocally crippled Bernadette Peters and then in Los Angeles with the vocally glorious Victoria Clark, I think we should all be grateful for Broadway singers who can both sing AND act. Sorry, couldn't disagree more.
Couldn't agree with you more. I saw the show in DC and NYC and the when I heard BP was not going to be playing Sally in LA, I was thrilled because she was so miscast in this role. She did not understand the character at all. Even though I love her voice, it wasn't right for this character. With pretty much the entire cast going west, Victoria made the show what it should have been. Besides Dorothy Collins who I saw in the original, she comes the closest in my book.

Her voice is just spectacular. Such range and emotion.

Victoria Clark was better than BP could possibly be.

Start the fire
DOKŁADNIE 😂
Taak 😂
explain...
what key is she singing this in ?
+Celene Perez Yale
+EvenEvenOdd lol
+Celene Perez it starts out in CMaj and by the end she's modulated to EbMaj
Magnificent voice but this isn’t her song. Way too much too soon. Marin Mazzie owned this one.
MARIN MAZZIE'S SONG . . . . FOREVER!!!
Victoria Clark is an outstanding artist, but she and her director pretty well clubbed this song like it was a baby seal.
i dont know how I feel about her performance...I don't think her character would just have her arm/hand staged that way.
It's a Torch Song, it's not about Sally, per Stephen Sondheim.
