Liz Callaway sings "Another Hundred People" from Company in 1983 on "In Performance at the White House" on PBS.
Another Hundred People" from the musical Company
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
From Liz: The cast of this program included Mary Martin, John Raitt, Itzhak Perlman, Judith Blazer, KT Sullivan and the late Bruce Hubbard, conducted by Jack Everly. (This was shortly before I began rehearsals for “Baby.”)
Funny story: My song was near the end of the program, and as soon as I started singing, the skies opened up and it started to pour. Chaos erupted and everyone in the audience starting running into the White House including the President and First Lady, who were whisked away by secret service men with umbrellas! I kept singing of course- it was very dramatic! When I finished, I was informed that I was going to have to redo my song. I got to spend a lovely few days in DC, and re-shot my song a few days later, this time for no audience. My favorite part of this video is at the end when you see the President and Mrs Reagan applauding my performance. TV editing at it best!
