We can all agree that Laura is a real life princess
Samantha Castillo yes. We definitely can
Samantha Castillo In heart and soul, Ms. Osnes embodies every princess trait to the core. She is the personification of grace, kindness, laughter, and humble in nature. :)
Is what I came to say
Agreed 👍
well said.
Laura Osnes could play every single princess ever and I wouldn't be mad about it.
It is not just all disney princess songs. It is Broadway princess songs and Anastasia is a broadway musical as is the rest
OH HELLO OMG and yes.. agreed 3 yrs later
Nah...she too old. She's in her late 30s.
How does she sound like every Disney princess put together?! >.
MusicalMe281 Because she is a real life Disney Princess ♡
She’s rather a) an amazing soprano that channels the energy of both phantom of the opera and Cinderella or b) an actual QUEEN and should be treated as such.
All of those transitions tho WOW
So cleverly done !
Ikr! Sooo seamlessly done!
I need a Disney movie with her as the Princess and Jeremy Jordan as the Prince, stat.
Megan Ripley I need them to recreate Hercules, Laura being Megara and Jeremy or Corey being Hercules
Megan Ripley YES
YES YES YESSSS
bonnie and clyde aren’t royal, but they are pretty cool
I mean, if you consider bonnie and clyde royalty, then there you have it lmao but I need laura as belle *^*
“What’s that word again?”
“Gate.”
“STREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET”
DISNEY HIRE HER FOR THE NEXT PRINCESS
Laura has that special quality in her voice that makes every song simply sparkle. I love listening to her sing!
Every year Laura hosts this I'm just reminded of what a perfect Disney princess she would be she was flawless as Cinderella on Broadway
OMG she and Benjamin are total geniuses. The transitions are hilarious. Plus she's so beautiful and a perfect Disney princess... Whyyyy was she not Belle in the movie????
She would have made the perfect belle. As much as Emma Watson is a wonderful actress the role of belle should have gone to another such as laura who would have been a fantastic breath of fresh air not someone who has already been in a major film series
She can have any audience eating out of her hand in one note. She is the manifestation of grace, beauty, graciousness, and class. I will follow her and her career anywhere.
Also, even though it's not disney, laura sings beautifully as anastasia. Glad they mixed that in there.
I did a happy cheer!
Ik I loved it sooo much
Anastasia is Disney now. They purchased the rights
Nothing can stop the Disney -war- media machine!
I was gonna say the same thing but this is a "Broadway Princess" medley lol Anastasia is a Broadway princess 🤷♀️
Craving now for a full Laura Osnes Journey to the Past performance. 😁
She's in the new Anastasia musical coming in April yeah? Cause she's perfect!
Wait, no she isn't. I hear the gal who is pretty fantastic though
Yeah, I saw Anastasia last month. Christy is phenomenal as Anya/Anastasia
+That Disabled Girl I really want to!!!!!!! Hopefully, as it heads to Broadway in heading to New York. Fingers crossed!
I'd love to hear her sing the full song of Journey to the Past. :) Christy Altomare does an excellent job too!
the way she bows and points at benjamin in the end is SO fairytale princess-like omg
OKAY BUT HER "ONCE UPON A DREAM" THO
"...sing 'em all and stay all night." -Judy Garland
Cast her as Anastasia or Belle, RIGHT NOW.
Or Princess Anna in the new Frozen musical. DO IT.
DarthxErik cast her as anything shes literally perfect
Just don't cast her as Anastasia, I NEED MY CHILD CHRISTY ALTOMARE TO CONTINUE HER LEGACYYYYYYYYY
+RaGnome After Christy.
CAST HER AS *ALL* THE DISNEY PRINCESSES *RIGHT NOW.* ALL OF THEM.
Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say...
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty.
I've got whosits and whatsits galore.
You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty...
But who cares? No big deal!
I want more....
I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep.
In dreams, you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep.
Have faith in your dreams and...
Someday my prince will come,
someday I'll find my love,
and how thrilling that moment will be!
When the prince of my dreams comes to...
Look at me, I will never pass for a perfect bride
or a perfect daughter
Can it be I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see that if I were truly to be myself,
I would break my family's...
Heart, don't fail me now
Courage, don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say life is full of choices
But no one ever mentions fear!
Or how the world can seem so vast on the journey to the...
Window is open, so's that door!
I didn't know they did that anymore?!
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
For years, I've roamed these empty halls.
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally, they're opening up the-
What's that word again?
(gates?) ... STREETS!
Up where they walk, up where they run!
Up where stay all day in the sun!
Wanderin' free, wish I could be,
Part of that world!
What I'd give to return to the life that I knew lately
And to think I complained of that dull, provincial town
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind.
I don't know when, I don't know how!
But I know something's starting right now
Watch and you'll see...
Someday I'll be!
Yes, let this be a sign,
Let this road be mine,
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home at last!
*vast on the journey to the past
*Up where they walk, up where they run
*let this road be mine
😊
Thank you :)
I would actually love to see her play Belle
YES PLEASE!!!!!! :)
SHE WOULD MAKE SUCH A GREAT BELLE!
I'm predicting a revival is right around the corner. She is one of my top choices.
I know there are many musical theatre actresses who love Belle. However I choose Laura among a select other few as my hopeful choice because I think she will bring her own interpretation to this iconic character while paying an homage to all of the actresses who came before. I don't want a carbon copy of Paige O'Hara or Susan Egan. I want the actress chosen to bring her own flair to it. But always honor who played Belle prior.
Laura does this with grace and poise in everything she does. :)
Hey, It's Kayla YES!! Belle is one of Laura's dream roles and she would be so amazing!!
Lauras*
Why has Laura Osnes not played a Disney princess in a movie yet? She's so perfect at this, especially as Belle and Anna!
I'm so impressed by how much she sounds like a GENUINE princess
Every time she sings any song by Beauty and the beast I DIE. She’s the perfect Belle her voice fits SO PERFECTLY!!!!
Her face when she starts singing journey to the past is just the cutest thing I've ever seen
laura osnes is one of my new favorite braodway stars!!! At 1:14 when she says "ive got 20" it's the best way to deliver that line, utter perfection!!!
Laura Osnes is such a stunning Princess with bis, encore and repeats, I think she should be a Queen already.
Oh my gosh she is an amazing Anya! I literally jumped when she started singing Journey to the Past! And she just is a living, breathing princess in general who just seems like such a sweet person.
Everything Laura does is perfect!!! I don't ever will understand how Disney hasn't casted her in a princess role yet. This is Freaking phenomenal!
Anyone know the email address to Disney headquarters? I can link this video in with it if anybody ever finds that information out along with me giving a novel length post why she is so perfect for it.
Disney just is not looking in the right places. We need to steer their attention over to Laura.
Silver54ful i think she will be a great princess in a hand drawn animation disney movie
i think you mean cast -there is no word casted
make her a princess pronto @disney
i need a continuous loop of her singing every princes song ever
So, basically, there's NO princess that she can't sing to glorious perfection. Glad we're all on the same page. :)
The proof that Laura Osnes could play every single princess brilliantly 😍❤
honestly the camera zooming in when she starts 'Journey to the Past' is me
This is going on my "THis video will instantly fix a bad day" list
I think that Laura should be the voice of a new Disney princess someday. Her voice is so sweet and magical. Please Disney, make a new fairytale musical and cast her as the heroine. It would be a match made in heaven.
I’m still here after 2 years and I’m still shocked. Laura is a real life Disney princess and I’m 1037393849% CONVINCED that she can pull off every role. She’s my inspiration♥️
On behalf of everybody who was involved with this special concert. I ask for everybody to refrain from negative commentary towards to the actresses cast in the musicals Anastasia and Frozen. And such fowl language is an insult to what this concert stands for.
Let those young women shine as Anya and Anna in those musicals. Sure, we all ADORE Laura beyond compare but the fact of the matter is, she will not be playing either.
She has the upcoming musical Bandstand. Still so much to celebrate and look forward to!
Laura rocks and that is all that matters.
Thank you for posting comment. Christy seems to do a lovely job as Anya!
carryoncarryon My pleasure.
I can not wait to hear how Christy sounds on the Broadway Cast Recording of Anastasia. :)
Me neither! I can't wait for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Anastasia to be released. :D
carryoncarryon Absolutely!
Since I won't be able to make it to NYC to catch it live (unless it is successful enough to create a North American National tour of it) the cast recording will be my refuge to hear the music and all of the marvelous cast. :)
I 100% agree! I saw Christy as Anya and Christy's performance is UNTOUCHABLE, even by Laura!
Laura Osnes was born to be a Disney Princess. She should be cast in any of the Disney Musicals right now (as Belle or Ariel or Anna), and even in Anastasia.
Seriously I have no idea why they haven't picked her already to voice any new Disney princess movie.
The transition between Mulan and Anastasia, just wow!
Laura should be every princess ever in everything
When Benjamin says "You have the next five minutes"... the medley literally did take 5 minutes! :O
Laura is the living embodiment of a Disney princess
THIS IS WAY BEYOND PERFECT 😭😭😭😭😭
Laura Osnes was born to be a Disney Princess, inside and out. She should be cast in any of the Disney Musicals right now (as Belle or Ariel or Anna), or be the next Anastasia when Christy Altomare leaves the show.
Seriously I have no idea why they haven't picked her already to voice any new Disney princess movie.

I agree wholeheartedly! Laura was practically born to play a Disney princess. The Disney company needs to get it in gear and beg for her to be their next princess. Whether in a film or on the Broadway stage.
This just did miracles for my stress level! Disney songs and laura are seamless together. Those transitions were brilliant. So smooth that people couldn't even catch onto them like the one from "a dream is a wish" to "someday my prince will come." It all sounded like 1 epic song. Perfection for both Ben and Laura.
she is a literal angel
her voice is amazing
This is everything I needed to be happy.
the songs are all sewn together so beautifully
It's amazing to see her transform into each character
her voice is SO perfect! so effortless and flawless! I also really appreciate that they added the song from Anastasia!
Glad a Beauty and the Beast song that was not in the movies was in there.
Laura just needs to send this to Disney to be considered for every future princess role on stage and film. What else do you need to prove that she can do it???
It's not as if the people Disney cast are household names. I had never heard of Courtney Reed or Sierra Boggess or Cassie Levy before they were cast in a Disney show. That's true for most of the cast. Many of them weren't really heard of until they got their role in a Disney musical. The ones they cast have had many other credits and are triple threats as well. If they cast people who were not talented, that would be different, but they cast amazing people in their show. I have a friend who is a swing in Frozen because she was the dance captain in Wicked for years. The fact is that theater is cut throat, so casting is already hard enough. Casting for Disney is a lot harder because so many people have buy in. It's not just the casting director, director and creative team for the show but also the composers of the show and major Disney executives (Susan Egan talked about that process when she auditioned for Belle). Maybe when you are talking about casting household names you are referring to their movies, which is entirely different. I am referring to her being cast in their stage shows. But even in their animated films they don't necessarily choose household names, but many times they don't. Auli'i was not a household name before she got Moana. And even the household names they have cast like Kristen Bell and Mandy Moore have done well in their roles. If they do cast big names for their movies, that is true of the movie business in general. Movie makers rely on big names to attract an audience. Anytime they take a risk on an actor who is not well known, it is a risk, especially if this project does not have a following.
In Julie Andrews' case, she wasn't a complete nobody. While she wasn't known on screen yet, she had already made a huge presence on stage. Even if she didn't have any screen experience, it was her experience on stage combined with Walt seeing her live that got her the part.
i would definitely buy an album with all these splendid songs separated, covered by laura osnes, jeremy jordan, derek klena and/or christy altomare
That's it she's the ultimate princess oh my gosh
I LOVE how she so perfectly changes from one song into the next....so talented!!!!! One of the things I just LOVE about watching/listening to Laura sing is she ALWAYS LOVES WHAT SHE'S DOING!!! I've NEVER seen another singer LOVE what they do they way Laura does! I pray God will bless her to always be able to sing as she does and to do so before the audience she loves to sing for! Love her beautiful vocal talent! And best part of all, Laura is not only beautiful outside but inside as well! God bless this lovely lady and her family! :)
I love everything Mr. Rauhala produces. Still waiting on sheet music for these!!
I completely lost my shit listening to this i need to see laura sing live immediately
*I could watch this a million times a day and it STILL wouldn’t be enough!*
I get such chills and my heart soars; the vocalist and pianist pull at my heart strings oh, so beautifully :’)
love that girl singing, closing your eyes and dreaming.....
I don't know what to say here, just glad I found this wonderful video.
she is a real princess I swear . really . If it wansnt for her who would b the Princesss
one woman and still though all the songs fit her voice - I'm so amazed!
Total Disneyland Princess vintage voice....amazing!
She is amazing!
she's so perfect. her vocal performance and the spirit she brings to the songs. I love her so much.
Beauty and the beast must come back to broadway and if Laura Osnes play belle I will cry
I'll be crying tears of joy myself if this happens. I've been craving to hear her full interpretations of the songs Home and A Change in Me. :)
That transition straight into ‘Colors of the Wind’ 👌🏽
Literal perfection in human form
How can someone be so perfect?
Steph Piano- A combination of a dedicated work ethic, great genes and above all else. A gracious personality who never plays it cocky. Ms. Osnes is the total package who never comes across as arrogant in any way shape or form. She's someone you aspire to be like but also want to be friends with. :)
This was so perfect on so many levels
I watch this literally once a week and cry every single time. Such a joyful, beautiful thing!!
Olivia Riddle I watch this everyday, like 3x haha
I love how they chose to add Home in - one of my favourite Alan Menken songs. 💕
Completely blown away by Laura!!! She's amazing
Laura Osnes, YOU are the best Disney princess.
That 2:50-2:55 transition is such a gift from the Princesses!! IT'S BEAUTIFUUUUUL!!💗💗💗
I love her face when she starts singing journey to the past
My absolute favorite!!!!!!
What is it about Laura Osnes, I wonder... that she's so... Woah... Can someone please try to explain the wondrous effect she has! My heart can't take it..
omg Laura for Anastasia on Broadway!!
She is incredible, I can't even, she is beyond perfect
She's magic.
This medley brought tears to my eyes
Love this video. She is amazing
Let's be real I've watched this so many times I have the whole thing -transitions and all - completely memorized
LAURA IS SUCH A BLESSING
As a little mermaid enthusiast I´m delighted
biacrisca
As was I when I first heard this medley. Oh heck, I still am!
Also be sure to check out Laura singing the full rendition of Part of Your World at the concert called Elsie Fest my fellow Little Mermaid fan. The video is available to watch right here on this site. :)
Thank you for including Anastasia everyone always forgets that one!!
Ending on Anastasia was perfect.
This is my favourite. Like seriously. I love her and this arrangement. It's just perfect
She sang sleeping beautys part so beautiful.
All the princesses perfectly fit her...!!!
That transition from Reflection to Journey to the Past makes me melt
Magnificent!!!
Those flawless transitions!!!! 😍 Love it!!! Laura is amazing too!!! 😍
That was fantastic! I love! how they arranged that, it was seamless how the songs flowed together
Y SHE SOUNDS SO PRETTY?!
I LOVE her dress!
this is literally the best thing ever
She could've been a great Belle in this year's Beauty and the Beast... sighs..
Sighs with you while thinking "Oh what could have been."
Excellent!! Not ashamed to say I'm in my twenties and know all of these songs
I'm going to be turning 30 soon. I know these songs like the back of my hand. Laura's even older then I am. And here she still adores all the princesses of fiction.
No matter the age, we have the right to enjoy. :)
