Originally performed on Broadway by Glynis Johns , the song has since become Sondheim ' s biggest hit and has been performed by the likes Frank Sinatra , Elizabeth Taylor ( in the film ) , Shirley Bassey , Barbra Streisand , Millicent Martin , Louise Gold , Judi Dench , Catherine Zeta - Jones , and Bernadette Peters . Judy Collins , whose rendition of " Send in the Clowns " landed on the pop charts twice in the 1970s , performed the song on of " The Muppet Show " while full - bodied Muppet clowns performed behind her . A clip from this appearance was used in the Broadway revue " Sondheim on Sondheim " to kick off a video montage that strung together a number of YouTube clips of professionals and amateurs singing the song , often to humorous effect . Wayne and Wanda attempted to sing the song in " The Muppets Take the Bowl " , only to be chased off - stage by a group of monsters dressed as clowns once they reach the title lyric . _ _ NOWYSIWYG _ _
