Magnificent! We have her incredibly lovely delivery of this poignant love song. There will never be another like her--and she is truly missed so much!!

Still hard to accept that she is gone

I'm curious how she would've done ''I Walked Away''

A true singing actress - her approach here reminds of her vocal performance in Dear World

Would love to have seen this with her in it. They should release this recording. Know her family comes first. Great photograph of Dame Angela.

The thing I love about Angela's interpretation is that it's layered with care and fondness. The bitterness is there, so is the pain, but it's delivered in such a motherly tone that you almost forget that the entire song is a warning about the folly of trusting entirely in young love. Chita sings it as more of a straight up warning, which I also like, because while for most of the show, she's bitter and proud and impenetrable, this song is one of her few breaks, her chance to reveal her heart. I hope someone revives this show within the next five years. I only heard about it a month or two ago and I regret not having learned about it sooner.

no disrespect to Chita - who valiantly tried to lead the bway company of "The Visit" - but this blows it out of the water... if only...

If only she'd done it, maybe it would still be running. But probably not. She gives it heart, which the show desperately needed.

Lansbury's rendition is more melodic than Chita's, but exudes just as much pathos. You can hear echoes of Sondheim's "A Littler Night Music", Brecht & Weil's "3 Penny", Herman's "Madwoman of Chaillot" and of course Kander & Ebb's own "Cabaret". Would have loved seeing her perform the role on stage.

So lovely! I remember when Dame Angela was here to receive the Meadows Award at Southern Methodist University (1998, I believe), she took part in numerous events over about a week, one of which was an extended interview we could attend. Among many other things, she spoke about THE VISIT being developed for her by Kander and Ebb, since she was getting back to where she'd be able to perform in theater again, after the time she took to nurse and be with her husband, during his last years of life. Another subject she was asked a lot about, and she discussed in depth, was the experience of MAME being developed, and eventually opening, and being a phenomenal hit (Jean and William Eckart, set designers of that original production, and set, costume, and lighting designers of many other Broadway shows, as well as producers, taught for many years at SMU). She also said she had never seen the movie of MAME, as she knew she'd be asked about it, and felt better being able to say she hadn't seen it, rather than having to give an opinion, which would almost certainly have been a losing game, unless it turned out just brilliantly, as we know it did not.

To have such presence of mind related to Mame, the movie, elevates her even higher than I thought possible.
