What??? I heard about this song, but I thought it was only used in the pre-Broadway production in San Diego. I had no idea that Bernadette ever sang it! This is amazing.
Yes, Boom Crunch was used in the out of town tryout and in previews after Bernadette took over the role for Broadway. It never quite worked and Last Midnight was written to replace it.
It’s fascinating to hear lyrics and some music that were used in the final number. This song is very difficult to listen to. Sondheim’s solution was much more pleasing to the ears.
OH MY GOD YOU GOT IT. FINALLY! I remember asking years ago if you had the video and you didn’t but knew who did. Thank you for sharing.
Cool, I didn’t know this existed!
the silence and coughing at the end is incredible
How cool. Still hoping for Carrie act 2 on Broadway to be discovered.
WOW.
Thank you!
now I can die peacefully
Yeah hahaha
The cape is cool, fun considering Phantom did something similar, but so glad we have Last Midnight
This is so cool I didn't know it was here!
Oh my godddd!!! Ah!!!
amazing

Yep, saw her sing it in a preview. I went the next night, too, and Last Midnight replaced it.
It was in Broadway previews for a while. I believe Last Midnight went in the day before press performances.
THANK YOU
WOW!!!!!!
Oh my god thank you😢😢😢
😍😍
Is this an early version of what become “The Last Midnight”?

AT LAST
If you can, can you please add footage of the pre-Broadway San Diego production in Old Globe Theatre with Ellen Foley?
Think that’s already posted elsewhere.
Incredible.
