Hi everyone - just wanted to take a quick moment to thank you all - I do love this video and this performance as much as you all do - it is, in my opinion, the greatest performance at any Tony Awards. I so regret not having seen GGLAM on or off Broadway, and when I do get to finally watch my first Broadway musical, this will have contributed a large part to my musical obsession! I never would have imagined that a bored teenager downloading his favourite performance from the 2014 Tonys would have led to this video being watched over 2 million times!! (Although I do think that about 500,000 of those views may have just come from me.) I randomly re-uploaded the video when it was taken down (or rather, geoblocked for those outside the US), and am glad it brings all of you as much joy as it brings me.
Aw, I'm so glad I accidentally took a peek at the comment section coming back to my music tab this is so wholesome, glad you're still keeping an eye on it (and a little shocked lol)! Thank you so much for reuploading, this was the video that put GGLAM on my list for must-see musicals. This, even though it's short, is such an incredible production to witness with everybody on stage putting their absolute most into every part of the performance, thank you for putting it out there for the rest of us to enjoy it too ^^
The whole performance was amazing, but lets face it... The level of salt by which Sibella throws her purse at the door is the best part of this whole thing
I love how Sibella is labeled as the mistress when she's the one married and Monty isn't yet. Like let's be real, Monty is the mistress in this situation
technically yes Monty is in this situation, but when everything is proper "the man can do no wrong" when technically he'd be cheating. however, he hadn't been engaged before this song. altho I think even if sibella had waited and married Monty I get feeling they'd be bad for eachother
well sibella did ditch him for a rich guy so she could have station in life. she never imagined in her wildest dreams that the man she loves and uses for her pleasure actually would rise to be a ranking lord. while pheobe is a girl who loves him for who he is kind and brilliant. but yes this is great for the fact that hes trying to keep the girls seperate from each other.. and later they agree to share him one the mistress and the other the wife.. and both best friends.. the ultimate dream!
james youngblood It’s kind of implied that Sibella has to marry the rich guy for her family, and considering Phoebe isn’t going to inherit any lofty family names and can marry for love, Sibella’s in a tough spot. She does love Monty a lot, though-she finds him smart and funny, wants the best for him, and they’ve known each other for a long time, as demonstrated when Monty says Sibella “teased him till he learned to skate”.
Well when I someone has two people that they’re seeing simultaneously, the effort that they go through to keep them from seeing each other would definitely lead them to be out of breath
What dazzles me the most is how everything is on beat. The screams, the swoons, the fact she threw the purse and it hit the door in time with the music, the constant slamming of the doors in time. Brilliant.
One of those numbers that they spent days and days and days blocking and probably had to almost eventually hate if anything went wrong. But when it clicks...
this using the medium of musical theatre to the maximum. dramatic irony and comedy mixed with over the top sequenced choreography, impossibly melodic, catchy, and rhythmic music and lyrics with wonderful costuming and use of the stage. it's a shame it's not running on broadway anymore.
It should still be running today (05/25/19), although the two actresses who succeeded the two above were so stunning bad (awful), that alone guaranteed the show would close.
@@GeorgeTSLC The acting choices, certainly, but timing like that takes an insane amount of practice to nail, no matter how experienced your actors are. Also bear in mind that while we can see the whole stage, they can't see each other through the doors and are relying on the music alone to keep them in sync.
Eliana Kreider no time sometimes, they’re just moving stages from their stage, sometimes the theatres host, so it really depends. They do it 8 times a week so...idk. But I memorized it
Bryce's frustrated jumping up and down as he says "BE JUST A MOMENT!!!" cracks me up every time:-). Wonderful performance!!! And I just love Jefferson Mays!!!
Literally, Lauren Worsham (Phoebe) does the cutest little things, i.e. the little giggles, etc.... Even from only watching this clip, you can see what kind of characters they all play. Great character development.
I was lucky enough to go to school with Lauren Worsham (we were in choir together). She has always been this incredible. My jaw dropped the first time I heard her (& not just because we were singing.) She's also a wonderful person who was *so* kind & mentoring to the younger gals like me. I truly adore her.
This whole performance is incredible, but I'm surprised nobody's pointed out how at 4:20 Sibella threw her purse at the door so it hit perfectly in time with the "OH" from Monty!
@@elicharissedr She is doing it to the music just like he does "Oh" to the music. So once they learned the music well it probably only took a few tries to rear back her arm a couple beats before the moment lol
D.O.P. D.O.P. If you listen at 3:22 right after “pious”, the first two syllables of “my esteem” (my es-) create a partial rhyme. It’s hard to describe in words, and I am not sure it was even intentional, but it does roll off the tongue beautifully.
This flows so beautifully, every action, word, all so natural and perfectly fits... man I've watched this video more times that I can remember and never get's boring, marvelous!
Or any Gilbert and Sullivan patter song. Patter/recitative is oft credited as the prototype for modern rap. There’s even a pirates of penzance reference in Hamilton to call back to that
Another good one is "The Speed Test" in Thoroughly Modern Millie. By the end its literally so fast that you have to pick out words you want to announciate clearly, because by that point the audience has already heard it three times and knows what it is so there isn't as much of a worry.
So lucky we got to see it on Broadway, too. Bought our tickets when I saw this Tony performance. The cast was phenomenal. They were very gracious meeting with the stage door johnny's after the matinee performance - which is unusual these days. So glad the show got the well-deserved Tony. Should have had a much longer run, in my opinion.
If it weren’t for Helluva Boss and Bryce Pinkham being the voice of Stolas, I wouldn’t have known about this musical and fallen in love with it. And this may be an unpopular opinion, but Bryce was sooooo robbed of the Best Actor Tony!
Absolutely….I LOVE Gentleman’s Guide, and Helluva Boss, BUT literally when I’m listening to the OBC for Gentleman’s Guide, I can’t stop seeing Stolas lol….
I love how this scene plays with the 'sound leakage' of the doors. Like, you can see the characters react different when the doors are both closed vs one open vs both open. It's really cool
honestly watching this i think about how amazing it is. the duets between phoebe and sibella are so pitch perfect, they have the whole scene down like the back of their hand and it's just astounding.
Best musical seen in YEARS! If you haven't see it, go - we had a great time. What performances, what timing, coordination, clever lyrics, & direction. Not one weak moment in the entire thing. And thanks for posting this. What a marvelous song.
Planning on seeing this in October with Bryce Pinkham in it. Heard Heidi Chronicles, closes in August 9th, and he'll be back in time for my time to see it. I can't wait to see it! Seems so much fun
Lauren Faerber Hope you have as good a time as we did. But why wait so long? And I wonder just how long he can keep singing the same songs 8 times a week without burning out. At any rate, his success is fully deserved. Once in a blue moon, decent people make it on Broadway, but the precedent of this entire cast being able to do would confound a Vegas odds maker.
Don Reed Indeed! I've been going to Broadway Every other year; so, i never knew about this play until this tony awards; and I listen to it non stop! I do hope that i can see Bryce Pinkham, he's truly amazing. I love him a lot as Monty, I could never see anyone else playing Monty Navarro. Its truly a unique source of Musical Theatre I've ever seen. I cannot wait to see it
Lauren Faerber Well, we went to see The Audience last night (a great way to waste $$$ on cartoon characters; "The Simpsons Go To Buckingham Palace", or to watch Shelley Winters [in reality Judith Ivey] come back from the dead to portray Margaret Thatcher) and there across the street was Bryce Pinkham in The Heidi Chronicles display billboard. He has taken a "leave of absence" from "Guide." Thought you might want to know this. Also just came back from "On The 20th Century" and DEFINITELY go see that. It was just about perfect (too long in some spots, seriously too long),
Don Reed "Seriously too long" might have been necessary due to the time needed to set up another scene (the logistics of this show are enormous/daunting). Just a guess (watch whoever is involved in things like this to use it as an alibi whether or not it's true!)
Can someone just PLEASE write a musical like this again?! I know imma sound lame…but I’m getting tired of the pop musicals and super contemporary stuff ALL THE TIME. I need a little balance.
Literally, Lauren Worsham Phoebe does the cutest little things, i.e. the little giggles, etc.... Even from solely looking at this clip, you can see what form of characters they all play. Great persona development.
I'm so in love with this performance- from the singing to the blocking. And then, they all have like REALLY REALLY good comedic timing I'm so in love, this performance is so perfect.
One of the most original, creative, and mind-blowing productions I've seen on Broadway. It's not utilized much in this scene, but a projector illustrates much of the story behind the actors, including spirals when someone falls down a well! Also, watching one man play seven roles is absolutely mind-numbing. He just dies over and over again!! I could talk about this show for hours.
This is such an underrated musical. And this number is GOLD I notice something new every time I watch it. These three are amazing, and did such a good job in this show. It’s a shame it didn’t run longer
This is why I love musical theater so much. The performers do these numbers with complex lyrics and detailed choreography and make it look effortless. And look like they are having a ball doing it
This is so precise and amazing. It makes me jealous as hell. In my head this is how I look in my community theater plays until I actually see the video and realize it couldn't be further from this. This is just an absolutely beautiful piece of theater.
At 3:52 Pheobe sounds so excited I love it it's so cute lolllll. This musical is actual playing this weekend near me and I don't have the money to go see it how unfortunate 😖😞😭😢
When a musical such as "A Gentleman's Guide To Love & Murder" opens on Broadway, I find myself wishing I was an American or someone living in or close to New York and not across the pond. I'd have loved to see this show.
Who else has a really hard time choosing which part to sing when they listen to this song ❤️❤️ such a good song it’s definitely one of the better modern musicals ❤️
This play was so amazing. I knew it was going to be funny but not rolling on the floor funny. The costume changes and were spot on and to realize they were all the same amazing actor, In my book a must see. Trying to convince the husband to go back and see it again before it closes.
How I wish I could see a live recording of this show! I live on the other side of the world, so no chance in hell I'd be able to catch this on Broadway or any other venue live (and this good!). I do have the Original Cast Recording, and I've played it over and over, but seeing the whole play (recorded as performed by these absolutely brilliant members of the original cast) would be absolute heaven!
This is one of the greatest musical theatre scenes I've ever seen. It's absolutely amazing and hilarious with great acting, the singing was fantastic, and everything was impressively in sync.
Z Botello I don't know if Ed Norton could sing, but I could totally see him as Monty, since he's a frequent collaborator of Wes. Maybe Ralph Fiennes or Bill Murray for Jefferson May's roles? For the ladies, it'd have to be legit musical theatre performers though, as you can't really find comedic actresses with such lush soprano voices in Hollywood.
Anna Kendrick as Phoebe, Cate Blanchett as Sibella (I know Cate is older and probably not a soprano, but she's so awesome she could give a mesmerize performance nevertheless), Neil Patrick Harris for Monty, and either JK Simmons, John Travolta or Kenneth Branagh as the relatives-in-one-guy
I don’t think a movie version could be as funny or as genius, the whole thing of it is being a stage musical and it would be hard to convert some things (Eg. Airplane arms in idkwid, the choreo of IDTMY) and that’s what makes agglam. It’s just meant FOR stage! Plus, there’s kind hearts and coronets.
I've been watching this video for 2 years and finally got to see in last night at the Wharton Center in Lansing, MI. It did not disappoint! One of the funniest shows I have seen ... loved the touring cast!
I saw this two weeks before it closed on Broadway. God what a great show. And this number was marvelous. I think I've seen this video a few dozen times and I swear this number, especially that very last chord, never gets old. Ever. It will live forever.
We saw a community theatre version, went straight home and ordered the Broadway cast album. The show is crammed with great stuff. It should be one of the perennials on Broadway.
There's a few shows I'm still kicking myself for not seeing when I had the chance...this is possibly number one on that list. Especially for Mays, ggaaaahhh!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hears it. I’m a huge Stephen Sondheim fan and this musical feels like one. I would love for Bryce to be in Sweeney Todd production someday or any Sondheim musical. Would see him in a heartbeat.
Hi everyone - just wanted to take a quick moment to thank you all - I do love this video and this performance as much as you all do - it is, in my opinion, the greatest performance at any Tony Awards.

Thanks I watch this one a month or so and I saw GGLAM 5 times by far the most of any show. I still have a crush on Mr. Pinkham
Aw, I'm so glad I accidentally took a peek at the comment section coming back to my music tab this is so wholesome, glad you're still keeping an eye on it (and a little shocked lol)! Thank you so much for reuploading, this was the video that put GGLAM on my list for must-see musicals.

You sound like such a lovely person. Thank you for this :-)
gentleman’s guide was my first broadway musical and it was purely because of this video
The whole performance was amazing, but lets face it... The level of salt by which Sibella throws her purse at the door is the best part of this whole thing
4:20 if anyone wants it lmao
the perfect timestamp
Totally agree. Gets me every time!
I LOVE THE "....why is she here at the home of a bachelor..." TING!
And the way Monty shrieks after she hurls that purse against the door is priceless
Everyone's talking about how amazing the song was and meanwhile I'm still fixing the hinges in my jaws from that introduction wtf
Quinton Barker REALLY
I'm really impressed with how well he changes character. Looks like a totally different person each time.
@@moonflower5553 especially the last one I forgot it was the same guy.
It’s because all the family Monty kills are played by one person who repeatedly changed throughout the musical it was awesome
@Greg Elchert and it's a GOOD movie too with a very young Obi-wan Kenobi (Sir Alec Guinness)
I love how Sibella is labeled as the mistress when she's the one married and Monty isn't yet. Like let's be real, Monty is the mistress in this situation
technically yes Monty is in this situation, but when everything is proper "the man can do no wrong" when technically he'd be cheating. however, he hadn't been engaged before this song. altho I think even if sibella had waited and married Monty I get feeling they'd be bad for eachother

while pheobe is a girl who loves him for who he is kind and brilliant.
but yes this is great for the fact that hes trying to keep the girls seperate from each other.. and later they agree to share him one the mistress and the other the wife.. and both best friends.. the ultimate dream!
Sibella knows who or what Monty is and Monty knows who or what Sibella is. They'd make it work, even with Phoebe in the picutre. @@shdwviper
He’s the Paramore lollll
james youngblood It’s kind of implied that Sibella has to marry the rich guy for her family, and considering Phoebe isn’t going to inherit any lofty family names and can marry for love, Sibella’s in a tough spot.

I find it adorable that he’s out of breath and she’s laying on his chest, I can imagine she must feel his heart going a thousand miles.
musicaltheatergeek79 because he’s been running and jumping around like a lunatic for the whole song 😂
And yet still enough breath control for that glorious final chord. That is great acting, singing, and overall musicianship!
It’s so cute
Phoebe was going up and down on Monty's chest 🤣
Well when I someone has two people that they’re seeing simultaneously, the effort that they go through to keep them from seeing each other would definitely lead them to be out of breath
What dazzles me the most is how everything is on beat. The screams, the swoons, the fact she threw the purse and it hit the door in time with the music, the constant slamming of the doors in time. Brilliant.

FUCKING YES
The hours they must’ve spent in blocking for this 4 minute song...
Some of it would have seemed instinctive, w/ pro actors!
@@GeorgeTSLC The acting choices, certainly, but timing like that takes an insane amount of practice to nail, no matter how experienced your actors are. Also bear in mind that while we can see the whole stage, they can't see each other through the doors and are relying on the music alone to keep them in sync.
I was thinking the same thing. I mean damn.
Eliana Kreider no time sometimes, they’re just moving stages from their stage, sometimes the theatres host, so it really depends. They do it 8 times a week so...idk. But I memorized it
But it was totally worth it.
Bryce's frustrated jumping up and down as he says "BE JUST A MOMENT!!!" cracks me up every time:-). Wonderful performance!!! And I just love Jefferson Mays!!!
Literally, Lauren Worsham (Phoebe) does the cutest little things, i.e. the little giggles, etc.... Even from only watching this clip, you can see what kind of characters they all play. Great character development.
and her voice goes higher than my grades. which isn't hard but still...
I love her lil ‘yeh :D’ when he asks if he can call her phoebe, so cute
I like how when Monty’s holding the door shut, Sibella’s slamming on it for him to open while Phoebe’s pawing at it like a cat
UGH I LOVE HER
I was lucky enough to go to school with Lauren Worsham (we were in choir together). She has always been this incredible. My jaw dropped the first time I heard her (& not just because we were singing.) She's also a wonderful person who was *so* kind & mentoring to the younger gals like me. I truly adore her.

Anna W nice
YO I know right! Just how many rehearsal throws could she have done to produce the exact same beat everytime UGHH
@@elicharissedr She is doing it to the music just like he does "Oh" to the music. So once they learned the music well it probably only took a few tries to rear back her arm a couple beats before the moment lol
Those doors should win award
They really rhymed, “pious” with “my esteem”. Now THAT is fine lyricism.
Woah! Nice catch. I never would've noticed that.
I’ve listened to this song dozens of times and never noticed that!
Wait, was that really a rhyme?
D.O.P. D.O.P. If you listen at 3:22 right after “pious”, the first two syllables of “my esteem” (my es-) create a partial rhyme. It’s hard to describe in words, and I am not sure it was even intentional, but it does roll off the tongue beautifully.
@@bpouelas Ah, I see it now. Thank you for that neet detail!
Phoebe: And so will I be your fiancé?
Sibella: Why don’t you send the cow away?
CRACKS ME UP EVERY TIME
this song is like a more comedic version of a heart full of love
can't see the similarity :(
BAHAHAH
i'm sobbing
Same last chord, too :D
Kelemen Szabó-I did not notice that until you said it! Also, your name is really cool.
why’s no one talking about that Micheal Jackson level lean through the door????
I'm amazed he can support his voice like that. And I'm convinced Bryce Pinkham doesn't actually have any bones; he's just solid rubber and elastic.
I've watched this so many times and I still can't stop laughing.
"Yes Warnsworth, I told you, BE JUST A MOMENT!"
DYING.
*Wadsworth
I was singing along to this in my car the other day and boy did I yell that line, and then cracked myself up
This flows so beautifully, every action, word, all so natural and perfectly fits... man I've watched this video more times that I can remember and never get's boring, marvelous!
finally............a non-belting mezzo soprano role.... bravo sybella!!!
They’re actually both sopranos…um sibella’s top note is an A5!
when you realize that sibella is low key rapping
That's patter and it happens a lot in musicals. See also, Both Sides Of The Coin from The Mystery Of Edwin Drood
Or getting married today from Company
Or any Gilbert and Sullivan patter song. Patter/recitative is oft credited as the prototype for modern rap. There’s even a pirates of penzance reference in Hamilton to call back to that
Oh my god yes 🤣
Another good one is "The Speed Test" in Thoroughly Modern Millie. By the end its literally so fast that you have to pick out words you want to announciate clearly, because by that point the audience has already heard it three times and knows what it is so there isn't as much of a worry.
Manservants are always named wadsworth
+cat thornberg Of course they are :D
+cat thornberg It's the family business
And none of our business
BUT WHY IS SHE HERE IN THE HOME OF A BACHELOR!? Of, Course one could point out that i'm here as well!

this is fucking amazing

+Aaron Schmuhl Its finally coming to the West Coast....So fucking awesome!

This is a serious contender for best Tony presentation ever.
RIP Gentlemen's Guide.
I was fortunate enough to see this show on Broadway before it closed. If I could go again, believe me I could.
James Noonan Same! Saw it with one original cast member: Jefferson Mays.
It's on tour now!
So lucky we got to see it on Broadway, too. Bought our tickets when I saw this Tony performance. The cast was phenomenal. They were very gracious meeting with the stage door johnny's after the matinee performance - which is unusual these days. So glad the show got the well-deserved Tony.

not surprising.
I lowkey love the actress for Phoebe. She is so animated.
If it weren’t for Helluva Boss and Bryce Pinkham being the voice of Stolas, I wouldn’t have known about this musical and fallen in love with it.
And this may be an unpopular opinion, but Bryce was sooooo robbed of the Best Actor Tony!
Absolutely….I LOVE Gentleman’s Guide, and Helluva Boss, BUT literally when I’m listening to the OBC for Gentleman’s Guide, I can’t stop seeing Stolas lol….
I'm grateful indeed for your gracious bestowment. Yes, Wadsworth, I told you... BE JUST A MOMENT!!!!
BEST part of the whole song ahahahah
I’m sorry but not a lot of musicals reach this level of genius these days.
don’t be sorry, you’re right and you should say it 😭
Got any recommendations?
It's amazing at 3:58 that he's able to support his voice in that position.
I love how this scene plays with the 'sound leakage' of the doors. Like, you can see the characters react different when the doors are both closed vs one open vs both open. It's really cool

Why did u copy a top comment word for word 😂
I'm a little obsessed with this.... lol "and if you don't say yes at once I think I'll die" that is me.....
Yes Wadsworth I told you, BE JUST A MOMENT!!
this was, by far, the best performance at the Tony's in 2014, with NPH as Hedwig as a close second.
You say "by far" the first and yet "close" second
Is it bad that i've watched this enough times to memorize the whole thing?

same... i rewatch this every few months
This Tony performance will randomly pop into my head. It's still so freaking insanely good!
For the Helluva Boss lovers. Monty is Stolas’ Voice Actor.
no way no he isnt
@@Panda_Boiyo I dare you to look it up
@@Panda_Boiyo Bryce Pinkham
I'm so in love with this performance- from the singing to the blocking. And then, they all have like REALLY REALLY good comedic timing I'm so in love, this performance is so perfect.
not a single wasted move. The choreography is perfect.
Randomly stumbled onto this and man it was awesome!

I just love Jefferson's intro; he is just so talented, the fact that he plays 9 people just proves how skilled
he is an actor
I’ve come back to this with the knowledge that Monty is Stolas from Helluva Boss and I adore this show even more
Same!
WAIT REALLY?!?!?
@@ellierelyea8388for some absurd reason I just discovered it as well!
I remember hearing stolas and I wonder why his voice was so familiar? I actually remembered this performance specifically as a kid

Who else has a really hard time choosing which part to sing when they listen to this song ❤️❤️ such a good song it’s definitely one of the better modern musicals ❤️
This play was so amazing. I knew it was going to be funny but not rolling on the floor funny. The costume changes and were spot on and to realize they were all the same amazing actor, In my book a must see. Trying to convince the husband to go back and see it again before it closes.
I've watched this video literally over a hundred times, and I still laugh my ass off at "Yes, Wadsworth, I told you, I'll BE JUST A MOMENT!!!!!!!"
if you guys are wowed by the intro for this... you guys should find out what the main gag of this whole show is.
I was today years old when I found out that the guy who plays Monty (Bryce Pinkham) voices Stolas in Helluva Boss
...
LIKE, WHAT!
How I wish I could see a live recording of this show! I live on the other side of the world, so no chance in hell I'd be able to catch this on Broadway or any other venue live (and this good!). I do have the Original Cast Recording, and I've played it over and over, but seeing the whole play (recorded as performed by these absolutely brilliant members of the original cast) would be absolute heaven!
For legal reasons the show basically can not be seen outside the US but it was BRILLIANT production
This needs to come to London, I think it would do really well! It's very Oscar Wilde
Absolutely criminal there's no official video recording of this production
This production never getting a pro shot is my roman empire 🥲🥲
totally agree 😔
This is one of the greatest musical theatre scenes I've ever seen. It's absolutely amazing and hilarious with great acting, the singing was fantastic, and everything was impressively in sync.
It’s been years and I STILL DESPERATELY NEED TO SEE IT.
I don't care that it only closed a couple of years ago. This needs to be revived the second Broadway starts doing performances again.
We all love a big spectacle musical with huge sets but man, this is what theater is about. Perfect timing, perfect performances.
i can't tell you how many times i've come back to watch this
I love this trio. It's super funny and the music is great. This performance is amazing. Bravo!!!
Doctor: You have 5 minutes left to live.
Me: *pulls up this lovely performance*
If this ever got picked up for a film adaptation, I want Wes Anderson to direct it.
Comsatteur who would you cast?
Z Botello I don't know if Ed Norton could sing, but I could totally see him as Monty, since he's a frequent collaborator of Wes. Maybe Ralph Fiennes or Bill Murray for Jefferson May's roles? For the ladies, it'd have to be legit musical theatre performers though, as you can't really find comedic actresses with such lush soprano voices in Hollywood.
^THIS!!
Anna Kendrick as Phoebe, Cate Blanchett as Sibella (I know Cate is older and probably not a soprano, but she's so awesome she could give a mesmerize performance nevertheless), Neil Patrick Harris for Monty, and either JK Simmons, John Travolta or Kenneth Branagh as the relatives-in-one-guy
I don’t think a movie version could be as funny or as genius, the whole thing of it is being a stage musical and it would be hard to convert some things (Eg. Airplane arms in idkwid, the choreo of IDTMY) and that’s what makes agglam. It’s just meant FOR stage! Plus, there’s kind hearts and coronets.
I've been watching this video for 2 years and finally got to see in last night at the Wharton Center in Lansing, MI. It did not disappoint! One of the funniest shows I have seen ... loved the touring cast!
The timing in this piece is nothing short of amazing. One of my all time favorite Broadway tunes going back over 60 years of music.
I purchased this Album, right after the Tony Awards
Saw the show three times. Would totally go see it again. This number was the one that convinced me WOW we have a GREAT new musical on our hands. :)
I come back here every few months. Amazing.
Same ever since I saw it on tv during the Macy’s thanksgiving parade
It's incredible that Bryce agreed to be Stolas on Helluva Boss. He's absolutely amazing!!
The amount of times I've watched this is borderline unhealthy 😂
this is so chaotic i love it so much
I feel winded just watching this lol
isn't this fun. isn't she done. why don't he send the "cow" away
omg i laughed so hard at this one
I saw this two weeks before it closed on Broadway. God what a great show. And this number was marvelous. I think I've seen this video a few dozen times and I swear this number, especially that very last chord, never gets old. Ever. It will live forever.
WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES ONE OF MY FAVORITE NUMBERS!
We saw a community theatre version, went straight home and ordered the Broadway cast album. The show is crammed with great stuff. It should be one of the perennials on Broadway.
well deserving the best musical tony award if even only for this number!
There's a few shows I'm still kicking myself for not seeing when I had the chance...this is possibly number one on that list. Especially for Mays, ggaaaahhh!!
Whenever I need a happy boost I come back and watch this. Perfection.
Still one of the best songs and best performances of Musical talent!!!!!! I love this!!!!
Anyone else who get's lots of Sondheim vibes from this? The witty and funny lyrics, the rhyme - hello Little night music 2.0!!
I always think of this as an unhinged and comedic version of Kiss me from Sweeney!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who hears it. I’m a huge Stephen Sondheim fan and this musical feels like one. I would love for Bryce to be in Sweeney Todd production someday or any Sondheim musical. Would see him in a heartbeat.
Is it just me or could anyone else imagine a young Julie Andrews playing the role of Phoebe?
this is my favorite tony performance of all time😍😍
I feel like this is so underrated. This should be associated with the word "musicals" more often.
I saw this show twice. Once in NYC and when it came to Boston(my wife and I took my mom). It is one of the funniest and fun shows I've seen.
This level of genius never ceases to amaze!
This is hands down my favorite musical!
The timing for EVERYTHING was perfect.
