I will make a controversial comment and say Shoba Narayan is my best and favorite Natasha I have ever seen, and I've seen this musical10 times. She has a delicate and fragile youth & beauty, & angel's voice, that I think is perfect. And when she is a gypsy playing the violin, on the other days when she's not Natasha,, I can't take my eyes off her, she is amazing!
I went to broadway in the boros yesterday in queens and when that lady stepped in front at 3:41 I can only imagine how annoyed everyone behind her was because everyone did that to me yesterday. Its infuriating
I'm really gonna miss phillipa as natasha. i feel like no one can do that role justice the way phillipa can, its like the role was custom made for her.
This doesn't represent most of the actual Broadway cast. So they're being supported by understudies, which is typical for these kinds of performances. Look up who is actually in the cast on the website. and I bet most of them were in one of the previous productions.. I've never seen any other version of Great Comet but Denee sings like an an angel. Lucas still plays Anatole. Josh Groban is perfect for Pierre.
I cried a bit when the woman playing marya messed up the lyrics..... considering this is a professional broadway cast but, hey, we're all human right? Of course this isn't a real performance sorry idk am I being too critical?
1) Dave Malloy is a musical genius but no singer. 2) What's up with Anatole? I thought Lucas Steele played Anatole from the very beginning of the production.
Nneoma Uche Depends.... I personally prefer Philippa just because she portrays a more fierce Natasha, which is also closer to the book character. I like Denée as well, even thought she is a more "young" and "inexperienced" Natasha.
Nneoma Uche it depends Pippa's voice is more mature and Denée's is more young and alive. I guess Denée would be a better singer for Natasha's role cuz Natasha is young.. eheh see what I did there??
and I'm not saying its bad, honestly I think I love the understudies as much as or even more than I love the original cast...ppl in the comments are just saying that this cast (thinking its the original Broadway cast) is really bad and they cant believe they took the show to Broadway...so I'm just letting y'all know that its not the obc 😊
phillipa: original cast
denee: original BROADWAY cast
there
Vanessa Eliza thank you I was so confused
jeorge washingmachine welc
Denee was also in the 2015 reprise of the show as Natasha which is really what pushed it to Broadway.
So whats the difference? Sorry i am confusion
Both are splendid
Looks at the background: *something about for kids* “ HéLèNe iS A sLuT”
I think I'm in love with the red headed ensemble member.
Emme McFarland the one that sang as Héléne? if so, that would be Lulu Fall. The other one would Lauren Zakrin. She goes on as Natasha sometimes.
Lulu Fall and Lauren Zarkin! I love them too!
several years late but if you love lauren zakrin then i have to recommend we are the tigers, she’s incredible in it
I love how when the actress who plays Maria messed up, she just kept going. Didn't flinch or anything. A phenomenal actress!
“For kids”
Casually does shots while singing
“Helene is a slut”
"Natasha's mother and closest friend" I feel so bad
They look like they're having so much fun singing the prologue even though Maria messed up a line but they're still having fun!! :3
I HEARD MY SELF LMAO. it was so hot that day lol. this was one of my favorite performances from that day!
Who are you?
@@chrissy8130 she was probably in the audience, heard herself cheering too loudly or sth

Gelsey Bell's voice in the last "and Andre isn't hereeeee" 💛💛💛
Denée Benton is great.
Courtney Bassett (red-headed ensemble actress between Pierre and Anatole) reminds me so much of Sierra Boggess!!
Thomas James You're right😂 Thanks for the correction! Her headshot on the NPGC1812 website looks a lot different than her in this video
@@junobrosas That is actually Lauren Zakrin between Scott and Josh, not Courtney.
Beth Senturia Thanks, I corrected this in a comment three years ago haha
Julia Noelle Brosas lol - I just found this video now. I’m a huge fan of Lauren’s :)
@@toowylde ELLE WOODS?!
Natasha's mother and closest friend?
Bartholomew Hall yeah I noticed that
Probably just a accident but that threw me off and I had to listen multiple times
Cousin
You got to play it off
You heard it too???? I thought there was something up with my ears lol
You can see that they're having so much fun
I loved the play and Josh Groban was terrific in his role. It won't be the same when he leaves.
Agree
I went to broadway in the boros yesterday in queens and when that lady stepped in front at 3:41 I can only imagine how annoyed everyone behind her was because everyone did that to me yesterday. Its infuriating
Sonya and Denee taking shots linked together is great oml
natasha's godmother and closest friend? LMAO
i like they guy who plays Dolokhov here
charlotte nick choksi is a god
Isn't that the original, or does he just sound exactly the same?
Josh is being so mysterious LET US HEAR YOU
He was probably on his tour at this time. I hope he attends the next one! This song is so much fun!!!
Ooh, the actress for Marya messed up... 😓😓😓
fluffy catzzz well, they're all human and at least she didn't stutter or get flustered, which would make it very noticeable
fluffy catzzz She's and understudy for many different lines, making sense of why she forgot, considering she has to remember so many different lines.
Yeah but she handled it very well
I wish there was a cast recording with Scott as Pierre
1:54 the face of defeat
Queen Basic I felt so bad for her
WHERE IS LUCAS
Marya is so fricking tall.
Josh Canfield 😍
i miss the original cast....
❤Tiffany Jade❤ Agreed. This one is still good, but the original is my favorite.
I'm really gonna miss phillipa as natasha. i feel like no one can do that role justice the way phillipa can, its like the role was custom made for her.
but hey she was in hamilton and now she's in amelie so at least she's still performing

anrina So Lucas wasn't Anatole in this one? It didn't look like him but I couldn't be sure
omg Paul Pinto is short, so cute~~!
ps: denee is queen
Idc that mary messed it up SHE NAILED THAT FUCK UP! THAT IS WHAT SHOULD BE TALKED ABOUT! Love ya woman!
Anatole’s finger guns at Dolokhov 🥺
LAUREN ZAKRIN IS SO CUTE
Go Josh Canfield
PEARL MARYA!???????
I cried a bit when the woman playing marya messed up the lyrics..... considering this is a professional broadway cast but, hey, we're all human right? Of course this isn't a real performance sorry idk am I being too critical?
I'm, guessing that they're a little tipsy
They are human
she is an understudy :) and normally, ensemble members cover many different characters so it's understandable as to why she'd forget her words
i don't think it was the actor who plays her in the show because the woman in the show looks shorter
adam mason same with the woman who was heline
Amber Gray? 😢
Btw i love it
Revival when?
Nobody noticed Marya’s mistake lol....
This is not to berate her btw
Josh from Survivor?
So we have Brittain, Grace, Gelsey, Denée, and Luke, but not Dave
I’m sorry but Anatole is a Blonde Elvis.
Where's my Lucas boi
Anyone know the actor playing Anatoly?
Anatole is played by Lucas Steele in the off-Broadway and Broadway shows, but in his performance, he is played by Josh Canfield (understudy).
does anyone know who plays Marya in this?
Marya is played by Pearl Rhein here. hope this helps.
What happened to Josh Gorban?
LUCAS STEELE IS GONE NOOOOOOOO
is that Dave???
That's Scott Strangland!
who is this anatole
also who is this pierre
the pierre is the wonderful scott stangland, and is the anatole is the amazing josh canfield!
1) Dave Malloy is a musical genius but no singer.
2) What's up with Anatole? I thought Lucas Steele played Anatole from the very beginning of the production.
Rachel F this is Scott strangland as pierre, and Josh canfield as anatole, understudies
denée is a much better natasha than phillipa just saying
Nneoma Uche ,,,,,,ouch
Nneoma Uche Depends.... I personally prefer Philippa just because she portrays a more fierce Natasha, which is also closer to the book character. I like Denée as well, even thought she is a more "young" and "inexperienced" Natasha.
Nneoma Uche Although I love Phillipa, I felt Denées voice fit more for this role
Nneoma Uche it depends Pippa's voice is more mature and Denée's is more young and alive. I guess Denée would be a better singer for Natasha's role cuz Natasha is young.. eheh see what I did there??
Yeah.
THIS ISNT THR ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST!!! MOST OF THE PRINCIPLES ARE NOT THERE!!! DO NOT BASE THE BROADWAY SHOW ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Lost In The Kingdom A major part of this production in the park is to showcase understudies^^ So, no, this isn't typically the onscreen casy
Lost In The Kingdom It was still amazing imo
and I'm not saying its bad, honestly I think I love the understudies as much as or even more than I love the original cast...ppl in the comments are just saying that this cast (thinking its the original Broadway cast) is really bad and they cant believe they took the show to Broadway...so I'm just letting y'all know that its not the obc 😊
The original cast sounded a lot better
