Losing Jan Maxwell was a devastating loss for American theater audiences. I saw Wings many years ago (with Barbara Bain in the role). It's a devastating, heartbreaking play. But, back to Follies... I haven't seen the video of this production but I'll stay up all night finding it tonight.

I hate to admit it, but Jan was the star of this production. Saw it in DC then thrice again in NY - Bernadette was magnetic (and her performance evolved) but Jan was just phenomenal!

@@mikeson418 That's what happened in the original production, I've read: Dorothy Collins was the bigger name with the "better" background, but Alexis Smith ended up getting more attention, especially in the press. Phyllis has the bigger songs and that final dance number ... maybe that's it?

The late great Jan Maxwell was brilliant in Wings. My Mother had a stroke and Ms. Maxwell nailed every aspect of that condition. I was in tears throughout her performance. And I cried when she passed.

9:19 Bernadette chiming in to praise Elaine and the rest saying they all wanted to work with Bernadette was so sweet.

Ron Raines singing Too Many Mornings is one of the great moments in the show, especially with Bernadette.

They are all wonderful. I saw Ron Raines in South Pacific and worked with him in A Little Night Music. He was perfect!!! And these people are all marvelously talented.
