    I saw this live. When Alex sang "and modulated", they looked at the conductor and did a "bring it up, lets do this" hand gesture. you could feel the energy in the crowd when that happened, and the rest of the song was felt deep down, lol... They going places!!

      Broadway is a very demanding full time job. Demanding of your time, energy, body, attention. Many people have the skill, but it's not necessarily the right job for everyone's lifestyle, physical health, or even just that they don't want to be a stage performer for a living.

  • @laurathepoet

    I have loved Alex since Glee and their performance here is truly incredible. Your analysis is delicious and I love how you explain the physicality of singing, it's a workout and it's powerful. I love "she took a bite out of that sound." that's poetry right there. I love to belt it out when I sing in my car, I know it's just for me. "Don't worry about how it sounds, worry about how it feels."
