Notes from David
Follies is a huge undertaking. In addition to being able to wallow in some brilliant music and lyrics, it was an opportunity to meet and get to know some absolutely legendary folks -- Marge Champion, Donald Saddler, Betty Garrett, Polly Bergen, Jane White, and Joan Roberts, to list the oldest generation, all appearing, I believe, for the last time on stage. My favorite story was Donald Saddler, the original choreographer of Wonderful Town, recounting how, during rehearsals, Leonard Bernstein had yet to write the number that would become "Swing". He told Donald that it would be at a certain tempo and feel, and in the key of A minor. With the help of an unnamed pianist improvising, Donald choreographed the entire number without knowing what the song was. Then one day, he said, Bernstein came to rehearsal, watched what Donald, his pianist, and the dancers had created, went home and wrote the song overnight. Amazing.
Oh, and I got to hang with Sondheim a lot. Had a blast.
