What happens when Follies
star Elaine Paige sits down
to interview her co-star Ron
Raines? Listen now to the
lively discussion about
everything Follies and
Sondheim: his lyrics,
Sondheim as teacher, and the
difficulty in performing
Sweeney Todd, among other
topics. Sondheim isn't the
only show in town. Paige and
Raines also talk about
balancing life and art,
musical theatre vs. opera,
the economics of Broadway,
career longevity in the
theatre, The King and I,
transitioning from
film/television acting to
acting on the stage, and
Paige's most embarrassing
stage moment while
performing in Evita. Of
course, it all goes back to
Follies and its cast and why
it's so hard for Raines to
follow Paige's showstopper
"I'm Still Here!"
