Posted: 8/11/13 at 6:51pmThank you Jordan-I saw the London production with Ms Lansbury and to relive even a part of it as she relived it--joyous rapture.

Posted: 8/11/13 at 7:52pmMy favorite line : "Absolute fakery from beginning to end!"
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

Yes, the "fakery" like is totally endearing.
Other performers should be so lucky as to be that fake.

Posted: 8/11/13 at 8:59pmI love seeing all of the energy she put into her Mama Rose. Absolutely amazing.

I actually found this whole episode of Feinstein's PBS series to be the best among all of them. Of course, this segment was wonderful, but his talk with Sondheim, and their discussion of "the American songbook" was interesting, too.

I've said this here before- I once got to work with her back in 1998- she was one of the kindest, most gracious people I ever met. It shines though here. There is not a insincere bone in her body.
She's like the grandma to us all.

I saw Lansbury in GYPSY at the matinee on Saturday, November 16, 1974. It was the first time I became aware of subtext in a story, and at the end of "Rose's Turn," the deafening applause served to make the audience part of her hallucination. The more she bowed, the more the applause and the crazier the look became in those huge blue eyes, glazed over with a desperation that was palpable even from the rear mezzanine.
I was shocked, stunned and excited by the whole new world of thought and observation that opened up to me that afternoon.
And trying to explain it to my mother on the train home was a whole new exercise in frustration, as I didn't yet have the vocabulary to fully explain myself and my discoveries, and she didn't fully grasp what we'd just seen beyond having had a pleasant afternoon at the theater.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Will someone please pass me a towel?
OMG that was fantastic. Thank you.
How true her words are about high school children becoming aware of her in Sweeney Todd. In high school I was introduced to Sweeney Todd and we watched her!
Love you Angela!!

First Broadway-caliber show I ever saw was Angela touring in Gypsy in Houston. When she came barreling down the aisle yelling "Sing out, Louise!" I was hooked for life.
Probably turned me gay, too. (Kidding...kidding! I know it's not a choice!)

Posted: 8/12/13 at 12:59pmThat was amazing. She is really a treasure. I feel so lucky that I got to see her in A Little Night Music, even at the age that she is now she's really extraordinary to watch onstage.

Was there ever a more gracious, kind, self aware, decent person of such enormous talent as Lansbury?
She is not A national treasure, she is THE national treasure.

"Was there ever a more gracious, kind, self aware, decent person of such enormous talent as Lansbury?"
In my half-century of experience, no, there was not.

I guess it's only fair that someone who has accomplished so much during her life and continuous to to so in her late 80's will be so gracious, down-to-earth, modern and kind in real life. Dame Angela is one of a kind and a National Treasure (in the US and across the pond), indeed.
Thank you so much, 1971FolliesFan for sharing the video with us.
