Audra McDonald singing Maybe This Time. Her phrasing in the last verse, particularly the last two lines, can be used in a masterclass. I last heard this song sung by Liza Minnelli methinks, and before that Patti Lupone. Minnelli plays it wistful with raspy age, Lupone does hers rich in bitterness. Mcdonald appears to have gone for hysterical desperation.

So I'm going to take this stack of cards naming all the
