This song was early in Bernadette's career. Still, the original recorded version of this song is as beautiful and moving as this one, taken from the 1987 Tony Awards. — youtube.com / Via youtube.com

It's great being able to see this song performed in character, seeing Sally just kind of fall apart. It's rather heartbreaking but Sondheim is particularly skillful in these style of songs, I feel. — youtube.com / Via youtube.com

Such a moving song. It's an incredible duet as well. Sondheim has a way of creating music that is capable of handling such deep dialogue. — youtube.com / Via youtube.com

This video is not the clearest but you MUST see this song performed in character. This is a PERFORMANCE. You really see Desiree just devastated. This song is so interesting to me because the written word is comically-based (clowns) but it's really about this woman who is ready to give up everything for someone, just to have that someone turn her away. — youtube.com / Via youtube.com
