Susan cried, through a rush of tears, "take me back, take me back all 20 years!"
Welcome fans of Northlight and Jason Robert Brown, Daisy Prince, Lauren Kennedy Brady and Norbert Leo Butz. Thanks for joining us! It's going to be fun!
BJ -- I would SOO love to know what the two songs JRB played for you that made you agree to produce the show?
@@BloomywoodTheSeries Irish girl, and Ten Minutes
@@bjjones3634 Thanks. So interesting to hear. And thanks for helping give this show a life!
One of the proofs of a longevity of a piece of art is that despite is that people cannot get enough of it. This musical speaks to so many people that they keep bringing it back and every new audience has different opinions about which "teams" they are on.
this musical owns my ass, thanks for this
I’m a year late, but my god what a treasure this is. 25 year reunion in concert?
Was it an acting choice for Norbert to cry or was it true emotions he was feeling? Who cares, he is AMAZING!!!
I’m certain he was just so incredibly moved by the experience of it all, and revisiting such a powerful piece 20 years later.
I remember this show at Northlight. At was wonderful.
Brava, bravo, chills and tears flow!
What a gift seeing the performances up close, directed at the camera! It’s like we are Jamie/Kathy! Did Norbert just propose to me? ;)
Love hearing the commentary as well. JRB is a treasure. Very much enjoy learning more about the origins and how this was all pulled together. Full faith in small projects!!
Also looking forward to reading “Sunday Evenings as Roger”.
So excited!
