In the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s renowned musical, Streep played a witch seeking perpetual youth, which included multiple solo performances. Meryl Streep performs “Stay With Me” in the film, and her depiction of The Witch received critical praise and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Susan Wloszczyna of RogerEbert.com praised Streep’s versions of “Stay with Me” and “Last Midnight,” describing her performance as “practically everyone else in the dust and by purpose.”

Ricki, an elderly rocker seeking to reconcile with the adult children she abandoned, was portrayed by Meryl Streep in this song-filled non-musical. The best part, in our opinion, was seeing Meryl Streep jam on an electric guitar while wearing her wild hair, blue eye makeup, and high-heeled Doc Martens.
