Oh, Dear Again

The other day, I posted a video here of two songs from the recent Encores production of Dear World, which I said originally starred Angela Lansbury. Well, this is Lansbury herself as a guest on Julie Andrews’ TV variety show in 1973 singing one of those two songs, “I Don’t Want to Know.” The musical, based on the play The Madwoman of Chaillot, was a flop (as was the movie that starred Katharine Hepburn), but it had some very nice songs in it. What leaps out in this performance below is that, rather than standing and throwing herself into a performance, Lansbury sings the number wonderfully just simply seated with the other guests.
