How can this video not be seen by more people? It's kind of embarrassing that I have watched it + 20 times now, it is such a brilliant version and I just can't stop click rewatch.
Tony Yazbeck is fabulous! I saw him in "On the Town" as Gabey, and I'll never forget his version of Lonely Town. And he looked fabulous without a shirt...
He was terrific in On the Town, and not just the singing and acting. I can't swear that he was the first Gabey to actually dance the "Imaginary Coney Island" ballet in Act Two, but he sure was memorable!
I have some recommendations for future Bdway Backwards. I think that a male She's/ He's In Love from The Little Mermaid would be really cool. Also, maybe Part of your world from the same musical would be really cool. I don't care if you don't like these ideas, they are purely recommendations. Also, really good performance you put on this year,
Yes. Broadway Backwards is an annual benefit concert we produce, and for several years it was performed at the Al Hirschfeld Theater, home to Kinky Boots when the show ran on Broadway.
This puts the musical version of "Millie" on the right track! I loved the original movie but every time I see the musical version of it on TH-cam I'm bothered that the music and dancing looks too gay for the "straight" male characters. Looks perfect here!

Tyler Marlin if they are doing in flats it should be cleaner as they can pick up heels better. (Which I basically can't do in my character shoes as they are 3 inch ones
Thoroughly Modern Milton
My first thought. I would watch this entire musical, especially with Tony Yumbeck in the lead.
Ashestoashesjc omg I can't believe I found one of my favorite TH-cam singers on this! You should cover showtunes Ashe!
With Mrs Meers as a drag queen disguised on the run from the law!
Could…actually work really fucking well.

Me: *hears tap dance*

+Sacha E We agree! Help more people see it by sharing, Sacha!
Shut up
Wow!!!! He has so much control over his voice it's insane!
I love his voice!!! It's fantastic!!! I especially love the knee wiggle at 1:04!!! It makes me happy... :D
I'm so down for a genderbent Thouroughly Modern Millie
Yeah I think it could be a lot of fun!
My mouth is on the FLOOR. THIS WAS OUTSTANDING!!!! I LOVEEEE
Tony the best song and dance guy around.
I'd love to see dead boy walking that'd be great
Pronoun Showdown has something close enough
This guy is incredible. Saw him in PRINCE OF BROADWAY. For that, he was robbed a Tony nomination.

Me too. It was an incredible performance. He and that song were magic.
The whole time all I could think was, "Forget about Dat Boi"
I KNOW RIGHT I'm playing Miss Flannery in my school's version so when I was learning the words I could literally only say 'Forget about the BOI'
When Yazbeck dances, no one can touch him.
🤮🤮🤢🤢👎🏾🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢 Go to hell
Can't love this enough ❤
I've loved him since I saw him as Tulsa in Gypsy
+Shelby Lambert We love that he comes back every year to perform in Broadway Backwards, Shelby!
This is beautiful
OMG I'm in this next year I'm love this song!!!
Sung this song one time I got lost, prevented me from panicking :)! Highly recommend!
FIDDLEFORD DIDNT DESERVE THIS 😭

An antidote to a tough day.

I love watching this video, it shows guys can also dance not just girls!
Jonathan Benn no one said that only girls can dance
Who else is using this to learn the tap routine?
Magnificent.
And funny too.
Yasssssssssss
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
I’ve worked in this office
anyone else here from monkey wrench on ao3
Yup😭

MEEE I AM I LOVE MONKEY WRENCH
I will now only hype up the boys with tap dancing.
Fabulous. Watch the "Twisted Broadway Melbourne 2013" version as well.
Well done! It was such a treat!
TONY FREAKING YAZBECK WOW BUT ALSO AT THIS POINT ITS REALLY BAD HOW FAST I CAN SPOT NEWSIES
Who sang the A on top at the end?
I believe it was Eddie Korbich since his mouth was open the widest.
Wish tony yazbeck had done “the music and the mirror” sometime.
XD Chris Jackson at the end knows me too well. I got nothing else to do.
No one:
Shangela: HALELOO
Thoroughly modern Miles
Check out the Sutton Foster version
Are they on the Kinky Boots set?
Yes. Broadway Backwards is an annual benefit concert we produce, and for several years it was performed at the Al Hirschfeld Theater, home to Kinky Boots when the show ran on Broadway.
@@bcefa Thanks! I thought it looked familiar.
He is that guy from Gypsy and A Chorus Line

Minus the teacher, their shirts are the bi flag colors

Idea: TMM only gay and set in 2022
More like "forget about that girl"
Tap dancing wasn't as good as the original choreography, and they were doing it in flat shoe.
Tyler Marlin if they are doing in flats it should be cleaner as they can pick up heels better. (Which I basically can't do in my character shoes as they are 3 inch ones
It be better if they were younger
Unnh... WHY? Hard for me to imagine it being better than it is here.
.Great.
