  ‘‘"Nothing quite tops other cast members sitting quietly on stage and listening to Barbara Cook sing 'Send in the Clowns.' Cook's exquisite rendition of Sondheim's best-known song demonstrates the essence of musical theater: an expert performer capturing the emotional truth found in a perfect blending of words and music."’’

  ‘‘"Sondheim on Sondheim confirms enchantingly what we already know but can gladly bear such eloquent repeating of: that Sondheim is the best composer-lyricist we’ve got. To have it incarnated on Broadway by a cast headed by Barbara Cook, Vanessa Williams, Tom Wopat and five personable others leaves us, after two-and-a-half hours, only hungry for more."’’
