if only to see Julie Andrews sing again. Granted, it's only two or three
notes (in a duet with Michael Crawford), and they show how much the voice
has deteriorated, but it was a heroic effort and well worth the standing
ovation Ms. Andrews received. What was sweet was seeing just how touched
Mr. Crawford was by her ovation. He was teary eyed, and I suspect he was
not the only one -- I know I sniffled a bit.
Overall, this is an interesting production showcasing love songs from
Broadway's greatest shows. Some songs are better than others, some better
performed than others, but a good chance to get an idea of why live shows
are well worth the price of admission.

I must confess that I originally bought this DVD, just for three
actors/performers - Brent Spiner, Julie Andrews and the angelic Michael
Crawford. However, despite this reason, I found this show to be
absolutely thrilling. For me, it had been a long time since I last saw
Julie Andrews, so it was especially wonderful to see her again. And,
for her to sing with my most favorite's actor, Mr. Michael Crawford -
oh, what a treat! The joy in their eyes after their duet - and their
brief dance, as the audience applauded hysterically was an especially
beautiful moment. The faint tears in Mr. Crawford's eyes were so
moving. It seemed that he had danced and sung with a goddess. It's a
must-see for any fans of these various performers.
