My favorite thing about this video is that you can tell just how much Beth enjoys doing this. Like a lot of people at her level of talent can turn out to be total jerks just doing it for the attention but she genuinely adores the music and being able to sing and perform, it’s so nice.
The fact that this show is no longer playing deeply saddens me. I loved this show and saw it many, many times. Beth’s performance of this song was a huge thrill every single time.
DEE DEE: The lady's improving So don't give up hope You'll ask, "is she perfect" My answer is nope! MR. HAWKINS (spoken): I know what you're doing DEE DEE: Her range needs expanding Her edges need sanding But she can become a sure bet! So I'm begging you sir Don't give up on her yet MR. HAWKINS (spoken): You're trying to appeal to the fan in me Well, it won't work I'm not a fan anymore DEE DEE: The lady's improving So much that she gloats I know you've got standards Feel free to give notes There isn't an issue And that's why I wish you Could see there's no reason to fret! So I'm begging you sir Don't give up on her yet MR. HAWKINS (spoken): Seriously, Dee Dee, this is unsettling It's like a fantasy that I don't want to have DEE DEE: Everybody thinks that I've got some kinks That I'll never work out Even you're inclined To think I'm unrefined But I promise with some time That my aptitude will climb And you'll leave your doubts And disbeliefs behind! The lady's improving Removing all doubt She has hidden charms That are sure to come out You're bound to discover This book's not her cover So don't make a move you'll regret! So I'm begging you sir No reneging on her Don't give up on her yet!
Almost all broadway shows are recorded for the Lincoln Center! You are allowed to view them (once) but you have to have a valid reason, like writing an essay, research paper etc..!
Ok Beth Leavel's voice and performance are sublime but I just want to shout out her costumes! They've got elegance, character not to mention freaking sexy! That strapless jumpsuit; they should market that
Leif Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin wrote this for the musical The Prom on Broadway. They also wrote the Broadway scores for Elf and The Wedding Singer.

I was at the show where she got a standing ovation for this song the Saturday night before the Tony’s.
Yeah, I was there too and that was an amazing Broadway moment we experienced. Magical.

I’m jealous and that’s coming from a musical theatre geek who’s never been to NYC.
I said that's my tony winning actress, Beth Leavel!!
Rachel Zegler is that you?

Next week, I expect Meryl Streep to nail this tune!
She did
@@jorgeguzmanm99 I love it when I’m right
She slayed it
fantastic!
This broke my Sondheim pastiche detector (in a good way).
When I tell you I screamed when I heard this live! I’m so sad it closed so soon, but I’m glad I could see it!
I here with the PROM 🥺💜
The Diva #BethfortheTony
Just WOW!!
GO HEAD BETH!! I MISS HER SO MUCH!!
"you're about to discover this book's not her cover" ❤
I’m sorry, but this is soooo much better than Meryl’s version. Beth is a queen.
No, it’s not. They are both amazing.
Not really by much. Both were great.
FUCK YES BETH LEAVEL
HER PLACEMENT
YAS KWEEN
i really liked it, but I wish the original cast was in the movie
I would have been excited to see Christopher Sieber the most. I’ve seen him in La Cage as Albin aka Zaza
Looking forward on meryl streep rendition
I never been so excited for a Netflix movie. I’ve been waiting for the movie since the Tonys last year.
same here
@@BinaRamos1990 Cool
meryl streep gave justice on the role and exceeded my expectation....
@@BinaRamos1990 Amen
Would it be ok to audition with this or would it be too risky? It could make you look like you have a huge ego...
Goddamnit, this show deserved better.
Who wrote,this?
Leif Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin wrote this for the musical The Prom on Broadway. They also wrote the Broadway scores for Elf and The Wedding Singer.
@@meredithchandler73 Chad also did Aladdin on Broadway
Meryl Streep only wishes.
She doesn’t have to, she did it.
Broadway’s bad bitch
Personally I prefer Meryl Streep's version of this song
She assaults him 😢 not okay
