    I love how her meg voice comes out when she says ‘shhh, honey I’m working’. 4:20

    Susan Egan vs autotuned movie version. Susan Egans wins by a thousand miles.

    9:08: Seeing Cinderella, Belle, and Anastasia side by side gave me chills. Love Laura, Susan, and Christy.

    BEAUTIFUL, she's still got it:) Hearing her sing "How does a Moment Last Forever" truly has been a real SLICE (to coin a Hercules phrase)

    And she can still hit those high notes like queen! I was born the year she played belle on Broadway but I watch the TH-cam videos all the time. What a treat for those people to hear her live! Thanks for putting it up for the rest of us

    Susan Egan is Thee Best Belle! She needed to do a Menken medley with Sierra Boggess, Courtney Reed and the original stage Esmerelda.

  • @yippedoodah

    Can we have a revival with Laura as Belle and Susan as Mrs. Potts???

  • @purpleshamrock17
    @purpleshamrock17 7 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if there was a future Broadway revival of BATB that included the new songs from the live action movie. I was skeptical when I heard they were added new songs but I ended up loving all three for different reasons.

  • @ashareeoo

    How did I not see this until now?!?! Susan Egan is a goddess.

  • @ZannaZatanna1
    @ZannaZatanna1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    she's such an awesome person too - I was fortunate enough enough meet and interview her at a con and she was so sweet when I got lost and was late to the interview

    The ending of this is so moving where they all sing together!to her!And to see all the princesses looking up to Susan the same way most little girls in the audience wearing Disney princess dresses would look up to her! ....Okay...Now off to the theatre now with you ladies...it's past your call time! 😇👸

      @violetta7853 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Aaww that's so sad! She's my favorite princess! But you and Laura are doing such a great job with The Princess Party that I'm sure she will have other opportunities to make up for it!

    She might be the age of Mrs Potts now but her voice is as youthful as ever

  • @pallafox
    @pallafox 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks Benjamin for doing this. I always wondered when BATB ended on broadway back in 2007 why Susan never got the full respect and reputation for being the first Disney Princess on Stage. Now she has after such a climate change on broadway with more princess shows, people now discover her amazing talent and portfolio.!

  • @jingjingcao3890
    @jingjingcao3890 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Omg! Where did this come from! Thank whatever gods assembled this. I got to see James Barbour on Broadway as the beast but missed Susan Egan. I've kept a VOS copy of her singing on a Disney on ice special with James Barbour. A copy is on TH-cam, if you haven't seen it got must.

      @Talezassian 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Megara from Hercules is all I knew her as - "I Won't Say I'm In Love" is one of my very favourite Disney tunes. It was a joy to learn that she had played Belle on Broadway, and took some of the sting out of her not having her own "solo" Disney Princess song ;-)

  • @MarciaPze

    AMAZING!!! HER VOICE AND HER STORIES RIGHT BEFORE SINGING BELLE MADE ME TEAR UP!!!

  • @Sarah-ho1oi
    @Sarah-ho1oi 7 ปีที่แล้ว +155

    I would have been more willing to suspend my disbelief and have her play Belle in the live action film than watch Emma Watson in the role. I love Emma Watson, but a broadway voice isn't something that can be made in three months of voice classes.

    • @jeffreykare
      @jeffreykare 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Sarah If ABC ever does a live television production of the Broadway show (which I personally think we should've gotten instead of an unnecessary live action remake), they should really go for an unknown.

    • @Sarah-ho1oi
      @Sarah-ho1oi 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Oh I agree wholeheartedly! I would have also loved that for the film, this was just comparative to Emma Watson, who again, is a phenomenal actress and person, but this just wasn't a huge win for her in my eyes. Susan Egan could play Mrs. Potts in a live tv event ;)

    • @HeyItsSarah30

    • @bunji_beans
      @bunji_beans 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      That was my one major critique: I wish Emma Watson was a better singer. Her acting was perfectly fine, but her voice sounded like it was played on a keyboard.

    • @trb7153
      @trb7153 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      BINGO. I agree completely. Hire the voice and the talent, not the "name."
