  • On November 12, 2014, Tony Award nominee Jeremy Jordan invited his 'Finding Neverland' co-star, Olivier Award winner Laura Michelle Kelly, to join him on-stage during the run of his debut solo show, "Breaking Character," at Feinstein's/54 Below.
    The two sing "What You Mean To Me," a song the two had originated together in the American Repertory Theater production of "Finding Neverland" in Cambridge, MA during the summer of 2014. "What You Mean To Me" features music and lyrics by Gary Barlow and Eliot Kennedy, and the orchestration in this recording is by Benjamin Rauhala. The song would eventually be rewritten and reworked for Broadway, but here it is presented in its original form.
    The band is led by music director Benjamin Rauhala, and features Justin Goldner on guitar, Charlie Rosen on bass, Shannon Ford on drums, and Alisa Horn on the cello.

    i swear, Jeremy could have chemistry with a wooden chair. He looks like he's hopelessly in love with every one of his costars

    I really don’t understand why he keeps being asked to do these roles but they don’t end up going with him for Broadway or for greatest showmen. He’s so incredibly talented I don’t get it

      I don’t understand it either. He is so much more talented than both Zac Efron and Matthew Morrison.

      ​​@@kimberholmstrom127 Yes they want well known names for more sales, who cares about how well they can actually deliver the actual... "GOODS". Let's all root for Jeremy's Jam Sess Theater Company!!

      It’s because Matthew was a big name in Glee and Hugh Jackman Wolverine etc, it’s such a shame as Jeremy is far better than them both.

    I am very disappointed that Jeremy was not in the Broadway version cuz he is just amazing in this role. I hope to see him in an amzing production soon!

  • @Horsesarethebest888

    My all time favorite role of his. The A.R.T version of Finding Neverland was something special. So sad they made so many changes for Broadway.

    • @carlyscovers28
      @carlyscovers28 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I agree! The Broadway version was my introduction to musical theater which is what I want to do with my life now, but I think it would have been better with Jeremy.

      Mine too. I was completely devastated to learn that Jeremy wasn't asked to go to Broadway. It was not the same show on that NY stage. When Jeremy and Laura performed at the A.R.T...there was this gorgeous chemistry. I agree with some of these comments that Jeremy is incredibly gifted, he really could have chemistry with anyone, anything. But the truth is, the Broadway show was s u c h a disappointment. I immediately regretted going to see that show. I must've watched the show at the A.R.T minimum 6 times. I would've gone to see more but the show sold out in a matter of days. Jeremy Jordan is an undeniably beautiful soul and deeply gifted. I too do not understand why he keeps getting offered to do some of these amazing roles and then....they just diss him by not keeping him on the project. It's such a loss for both the project and audiences around the world who know that Jeremy is an unparalleled artist. He deserves so much more than what he's been given. Much love and light to Jeremy, will always be one of his biggest fans

    Jeremy Jordan makes an amazing romantic lead with his gorgeous vocals and amazing acting skills.
    Laura Michelle Kelly's voice is gorgeous too.

    Ok I literally LOVED jj as this role and I didn’t know until now that he didn’t leave the production on his own. HE WAS AMAZING OMG WHY??????? WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU NOT WANT HIM TO CONTINUE!!!!! Matthew was good in the role as well don’t get me wrong, but Jeremy had me crying, and his acting was phenomenal. He should have continued.

    it's amazing how Jeremy manages to make his co-stars shine in their performances. Laura is wonderful but the way Jeremy sings makes the music and her voice even more beautiful. In addition to feeling the total freedom and comfort of your partners in voicing your voice at your side

    Is there an album of Jeremy's version of Finding Neverland songs? I think the world needs some more of him.
    And the Death Note the Musical Demo should be made available! It's fairly niche, but it's such an amazing soundtrack.
    Thank you, Ben, for sharing these videos :)

      @kaylasmp4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      James:
      Standing here
      All at once
      All the words run dry
      Sylvia:
      Something changed
      Can't explain
      And I can't deny
      James:
      Turning in circles
      And blurring the lines
      The unspoken is calling us tonight
      Both:
      I won't lie
      I'm a little bit frightend
      Of my imagination
      Swear I'll try
      I'm feeling enlightened
      Your my inspiration
      We can fly if we want to
      I promise that faith will give you wings
      James:
      Just take the second star on the right
      Straight ahead till morning light
      Both:
      Just take the second star on the right
      Straight ahead till morning light
      James:
      Close your eyes
      When you dream
      That’s where I will be
      Sylvia:
      Say it’s true
      Say you do
      Say you do believe
      Both:
      The greatest adventures
      Are waiting so patiently (Are waiting)
      The angels are calling us tonight
      I won't lie
      I'm a little bit frightend
      Of my imagination
      Swear I'll try
      I'm feeling enlightened
      Your my inspiration
      We can fly if we want to
      I promise that faith will give you wings
      Just take the second star on the right
      Straight ahead till morning light
      Just take the second star on the right
      Straight ahead till morning light

      James:
      Every word and every sentence
      Doesn't seem to make a difference
      Nothing can explain just what you mean to me
      Sylvia:
      Every shape and all the colors
      All the love from all the lovers
      Never could express just what you mean to me
      Both:
      Every instinct (Every shape)
      Every feeling (Every breathless)
      Breathless
      All my senses reeling (All my senses reeling)
      James:
      Cannot even say just
      Both:
      What you mean to me
      *at the same time*
      Sylvia:
      Turning in circles
      And blurring the lines
      James:
      Every poem
      From every poet
      Every song and
      Every sonnet
      Never can deliver
      What you mean to me
      Both:
      I won't lie
      I'm a little bit frightend
      Of my imagination
      Swear I'll try
      I'm feeling enlightened
      Your my inspiration
      We can fly if we want to
      I promise that faith will give you wings
      Just take the second star on the right
      Straight ahead till morning light
      Just take the second star on the right
      Straight ahead till morning light
      Every star thats ever fallen
      Knows the way to where were going
      Now I really know just what you mean to me
      (Btw I did that all by ear so some of it might be wrong)
