I hope next year. I am 76.

Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!

I listened to Judy Collins' version of this today. So beautiful, so technically perfect. Yet, somehow, this version is much more moving. It is raw. It is emotive. Bravo, Judi Dench!

Dear Immelda, It has never been sung with conviction, vocal nuance like the performance you have given. Thank you.

I cannot fully praise Judi’s performance here without giving David Kernan (23 June 1938 - 26 December 2023) his due. The hand holding and the dialogue fed this performance. Whey I was young it used to annoy me that he was there, I thought somehow he detracted from Judi’s piece. When I got older I could see this astounding performance wasn’t at all possible without David. It’s just an opinion but I was glad to know Dame Judi Dench feels the same. RIP David, you were a star who dazzled and a costar who shone a pink spot on anyone sharing the stage with you. My Condolences Stuart XO Richard from Boston

She is a miracle. I’m so immensely grateful to be on this earth at the same time. She breaks me. ❤

Sometimes you have to applaud even if you feel like reverent silence is the most appropriate response.

th part on uke

This is just pure perfection. Say what you will but this version is and always will be the best.

Beautiful Song been thinking of this song Touching ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wunderschön das Lied und Judi ❤

Sondheim MAGIC. Phenomenal! Thank you so very much. New Orleans, a Saturday evening perhaps, October 1970. Linda and I stayed home at our small apartment on 3615, St. Charles Ave. We simply chanced to tune into CBS. Onscreen came the studio recording of the Broadway cast taping. We were blown over. Bought the Columbia Records long-play soon after. We learned the score through and through. For some reason did not get the video until it came out on laser-disc. Still have it as well as the dvd of it. Come January 2006, very rewarding to have been to the revival with Raul Esparza. Still, the 1970 original remains truly special.

This is the first time hearing Ms. Dench perform this number. For me, she gave it a new life! Magnificent

Breathtaking!

.....Send in the tone deaf singer.... Don't worry, she's here! 😂

Sorry folks but the Emperor really is naked! 😂

This is not about singing, it is about acting, and this performance is truly great ACTING. How moving and emotional. Great.

April 2024 here like others because of #hughjackman story about #judidench in #grahamnorton

Only Sarah Vaughan can sing this right.

This must be the performance that Hugh Jackman mentioned on the Graham Norton show (he ran into her backstage, he was singing a song from Oklahoma at this same concert).

Heres Hugh Jackman telling how he met Dane Judy Dench on this concert and found her nervously muttering to herself: why did I say yes, why did i say yes, why did I say yes Im not a singer... But we can see she's great kzbin.infoKfQzMjShhCU?si=Ku2H1A_JDn_xshE_

Found this after hearing Hugh Jackman's story about talking to Judy Dench before she went on stage to do this. kzbin.infoKfQzMjShhCU?si=2es1AndR42fXdxem Amazing rendition of this song, love it.

Such natural means with French, Judi Dench truly was extraordinary, even then!

Anyone after Hugh -Jackman Graham Norton show?

That isn’t Sir Ian Mckellen it is Greg Hicks.

This performance is so heart felt it brings tears to my eyes ❤️

WOW……..that made me cry ……

This has to be the finest portrayal of Desiree by ANY artist and this scene the most emotional . A wonderful talent.

Bunch of dorks you all are. Haunting this haunting that. It’s a play nothing more.

Well now I’m crying at work

I love this video she's great

Im Overwhelmed With Judi Dench's Raw Talent & Her Voice In This Perfect Performance

One of the greatest soliloquies in the English language...nearly ruined for me by HYSTERICAL closed captioning🤣

This ' Send In The Clowns ' Performed by Judi Dench.. Is Strong & Powerful . 💗🇯🇪💗

people forget that Judi was supposed to be Grizabella but had to drop out with injury.

💛

Came looking for this because I told someone I never understood the lyrics until I heard/saw it done by Miss Dench. I see so many here voicing the same. Watched it and, again, Miss Dench has brought me to tears. It's so beautifully done by Dame Judy.

How sad there is not more footage of other performances from Dorothy tutin. This clip goes a long way to showing what a sublime actress she was.

This the essence of what feeling is in a performance. Nothing grand, just a master class in subtle greatness.

Who is the actor? I think the few words said in this scene is some of best dialog in theater history. She is divine.

(Sigh) Dame Judy...❤

to the moon and back !!

Have always loved this song since I first heard Judy Collins sing it years ago. Then I discovered Judi Dench’s performance. It touches the heart like no other. You actually understand the true meaning behind the words. The depth of the words and the emotions behind them.

I have seen Frank Sinatra sing this song many times in the almost-900 times I saw Sinatra perform live over 22 years. I never thought I would see someone do this song better than Frank Sinatra -- but here it is! I just now found this, and I am just amazed at how perfect it is. Wow!

Hauntingly brilliant. It's like she's being possessed. Judi is one of the greatest actresses of all time.

This music for Lady Macbeth captures this scene perfectly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGrXaGiQrreYaNk ❤

The astonishing thing about this is that I am absolutely convinced that we have never before, nor shall we ever again see a rendition of this piece of art as perfect as this is. Earth shattering moment in musical theatre performance hostory. Truly for the ages. I come back to it every so often and im as captivated as I was the first time i saw it. Judi Dench is mesmerising, almost as if I am enchanted. I cannot say enough about it. Perfect moment of theatre.

"to flirt with rescue when one has no intention of being saved"----stirring.

She’s hauntingly captivating in this role

Absolutely beautiful. Dame Judy does it again.
