I love how elements of the Marilyn Monroe version were alluded to and the brief reference to Material Girl was added. It's a total hoot!!! He's a terrific performer...
A pink suit would have been too literal. It would have made the song about the outfit. Having everyone wear black let the audience focus on the words coming from a male's voice.
His breathing was incredible. You knew he was working and moving, but still belting it out. And that was one of the slickest costume change/adaptation I ever seen. Went What? And had to replay it to see when he got all glittery.
How did i only find this now? I have to admit that I was hesitant about this version at first, since it makes a GREAT song for a drag show, but it was AMAZING!! And Jay Armstrong Johnson is very, very cute.
I love Jay Armstrong Johnson i’ve been watching his shows and musical talents for about 5 years. He’s one of my favorite people on broadway. I watched Parade probably 4 times just to hear Real Big News. Lol!!
I love musical of Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend, Although I also like a lot in the version of Kylie Minogue of the year 1999, a huge greeting from Chile, ,my name is Joseph Anthony
I've heard of affairs are strictly platonic but diamonds are a girls best friend And I think affairs you must keep masonic are better bets if little pets get big baguettes Time rolls on and youth is gone and you can't straighten up when you bend But stiff back or stiff knees you stand straight at Tiffany's! Diamond's are a girl's best friend!
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.
I see a lot of good Broadway Backwards performances of guys singing songs normally sung by girls, but does anyone know of good ones of a girl singing a song normally sung by guys?
He sounds like a diamond salesman.
Ender-Chan and a damn good one.
Jewellery shops should really use this as the song for their ads
I’d buy from him anytime 😍 (if I had any money)
The title of the video should be "aggressive bisexual onstage: glitter edition"
Lmao
Haha 😂
when he says “NO” i get strong john mulaney vibes and truly im not mad
Cartier......? Yeah..........
4 minutes and 9 seconds of Jay Armstrong Johnson convincing me to get a sugar daddy
4 minutes and 9 seconds of Jay Armstrong Johnson also being a diamond salesman
I'm pritty convinced at this point
For real lol
when he goes " n o ! " i'm reminded of john mulaney for some reason
I hear it!!! 😲
I can’t unhear it 😂
I love how elements of the Marilyn Monroe version were alluded to and the brief reference to Material Girl was added. It's a total hoot!!! He's a terrific performer...
I think it might be a reference to the number in Moulin Rouge as well.
And for the younger audience, throwing in the Material Girl reference reminds them of the stellar 'Glee' version of this song!
@@eatonjask No, it's a Moulin Rouge! reference. The other guy up ahead and it right.
Madonna blended that long ago, he is not that talented.
a Pink Suit would have made everything more magical
Pedro Amorim sometimes less is more.
@@heatherhan2100 This is literally a song about valuing the material and extravagant but ok.
A pink suit would have been too literal. It would have made the song about the outfit. Having everyone wear black let the audience focus on the words coming from a male's voice.
@@jonwiley2592 a pink tie, then
@@jonwiley2592 I think their referencing what Marilyn Monroe wore though
To sing that well while dancing that much is incredible. Who choreographed this? It's better than any of the "real" versions.
RichardBrennan true but what do u mean by"real "
Marcus Johnson. Real productions of the musical. This was a performance of the song. He's saying this is better than an actual production.
Yea at one point he was just getting thrown and still sounded great
His breathing was incredible. You knew he was working and moving, but still belting it out.
And that was one of the slickest costume change/adaptation I ever seen. Went What? And had to replay it to see when he got all glittery.
Tu as quel âge
C est la chorégraphie de Marylin Monroe évidemment
C est le côté drôle génial et gay de la chose
Tiffanies? "NO!" His face is so great 😂😂😂😂😂
pov: bisexual jewelry store salesman tries to convince you to buy his stock.
Jay's facials are everything ❤️💎
+Anne Diminick He's a fantastic performer!
IS THAT ON PORNHUB?
@@stalematesibling *oh no*
"It's then that those louses go back to their spouses." Great line when first heard.
He should have been in a vest, not that jacket.
I've said it before and I will say it again. It would be a much darker world without us GAY people!!!BRAVO!
i love that he's increasingly sparkly
Is there any chance of getting John Barrowman in on these?!?
I don't know if he can sing, but part of me doesn't care. ♥
Heathyr Hoffman If you watched the movie version of The Peoducers, he was in it and sang
Heathyr Hoffman John's a lovely singer. Look at his version of being alive.
It's not Broadway backwards but he has a lovely performance of Anything You Can Do
@@HeathyrHoffman He started out in musical theatre
I ❤️ Jay Armstrong Johnson, and this was a fabtastic performance. 🌈🦄 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
+Blake J Glad you enjoyed Blake! Thanks for watching.
This is at the Kinky Boots theater!!!
Correct.
That looked exhausting, I'm so impressed he didn't get out of breath.
How did i only find this now? I have to admit that I was hesitant about this version at first, since it makes a GREAT song for a drag show, but it was AMAZING!! And Jay Armstrong Johnson is very, very cute.
i got a prageru ad before this and i’m so glad it came before this video because i was pissed off and this video made me happy
Nice Moulin Rouge moment. :)
I love Jay Armstrong Johnson i’ve been watching his shows and musical talents for about 5 years. He’s one of my favorite people on broadway. I watched Parade probably 4 times just to hear Real Big News. Lol!!
How have I only just now found this guy
dude killed that performance
I've enjoyed Jay's performances on stage in The Most Happy Fella and On the Town. I'm glad to see he's keeping up the good work.
Jay Armstrong is one of my favs! Wish I could've seen it live
I love that it's the Moulin Rouge version. And SO good, btw!! :)
I missed his turn on Quantico but between his duet with Todrick Hall, 'Colors' and this amazing live version, I'm a total fan for life.
This is my absolute favorite thing! So wish I could have seen it live. I will definitely be hitting replay.
+taylorjo9 Replay all you want, Taylor!
I love the tribute to Monroe, and the homage to Madonna. Hes a cutie and whst a great performance!!
When he left the stage I was hoping he was going to come out dressed like Marilyn Monroe
STUNNING. SLAY SLAY SLAY.
0:45 i’m sorry his turns are everything to me
literally obsessed with this performance. the aesthetic is IMMACULATE
Am I the only one wishing his suit was bright pink satin?
That glee shoutout with that "Material Girl" addition.
That's also from Moulin Rouge! th-cam.com/video/zFYtofcllMo/w-d-xo.html

I love musical of Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend, Although I also like a lot in the version of Kylie Minogue of the year 1999, a huge greeting from Chile, ,my name is Joseph Anthony
It’s Delightful Down in Chile

How great is he? How great is this? This is great. 😍
I was waiting for him to turn into Wonder Woman during that little turn
Man, this is dope.
"The french are glad to die for love"
Me, broke: that's it i'm moving to the uk
This is amazing!! Will the video of Lesli Margherita and Beth Malone be posted?
Hey! That's Chunk! What's he doing here? I love him!
This was weirdly sensational 👉👈😳
😍
I've heard of affairs are strictly platonic but diamonds are a girls best friend
And I think affairs you must keep masonic are better bets if little pets get big baguettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone and you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees you stand straight at Tiffany's!
Diamond's are a girl's best friend!
"affairs that you must keep LIAISONIC are better bets"... Anyway, that was great!
I keep watching that part where they flip him in aw
that looks like alot of fun
Those no’s have big john Mulaney energy
Did anyone else notice this was 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.
That’s so cool! x
Only HUGH JACKMAN can get away with this.
I want to be masculine but like this
Honestly I'm just impressed that he can sing while being flipped around
I literally fantasy with doing this, and I’m a straight dude
Is he Quantico Hacker Extraordinaire
I see a lot of good Broadway Backwards performances of guys singing songs normally sung by girls, but does anyone know of good ones of a girl singing a song normally sung by guys?
Try these two: th-cam.com/video/82N-E1ao4P8/w-d-xo.html

Awesome, thanks! I really like the Damn Yankees one
Aoyamaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I don’t understand music but is the timing off somehow ?
