Getting Married Today is known as the snappy patter song from Stephen Sondheim's 1970 musical Company. Beth Howland delivers the snappy patter. She is the best known of these three performers. She was born May 28, 1939 in Brighton, MA. She is best known for playing Vera in the 70s sitcom Alice. After appearing in Company, Beth moved to Los Angeles and did mostly TV guest shots. Alice was her only regular role. She died on Dec. 31, 2015 at age 76. Teri Ralston was born Feb. 16, 1943 in Holyoke, CO. In addition to Company, she appeared in the 1973 Broadway show A Little Night Music. Lots of touring shows and regional theater. She did a lot of TV guest shots including a 1993 two part episode of Frasier. That was her most recent credit so I assume she retired. Steve Elmore was born July 12, 1936 in Niangua, MO. Along with Company, he appeared in the 1980 show 42nd Street and the 1987 show Anything Goes. Elmore performed regularly in New York clubs. He didn't do much TV or movies. Elmore died on Nov. 6, 2017 at age 84. The cast album is available as a budget CD. The clip is from D.A. Pennebaker's doc of the cast recording. Here's Beth Howland, Teri Ralston and Steve Elmore performing Getting Married Today in the 1971 doc Original Cast Album: Company.
