"Broadway Baby" Aaron Tveit (Next to Normal, Grease: Live) gives a one-of-a-kind spin on one of Sondheim's greatest hits, from this Pasadena POPS performance from 2014.
I'm just a Broadway baby Walking on my tired feet Pounding 42nd street To be in a show, oh Broadway baby Learning how to sing and dance Waitin' for that one big chance To be in a show Gee, I'd like to be On some marquee All twinkling lights A spark to pierce the dark From Battery Park To Washington Heights Some day maybe If I finally reach my goal Heck, I play a butler's role To be in a show Hey, Mr. producer I'm talkin' to you sir I don't need a lot Only what I got Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot I'm a Broadway baby Broadway baby Slaving at a five and ten (Ooh, yeah) Dreaming of the great day when I'll be in a show oh I'm a Broadway baby Making rounds all afternoon Eating at a greasy spoon To save on my dough At my tiny flat there's just my cat A bed and a chair Still I'll stick it 'til I'm on a bill' All over Times Square Oh, some day maybe If I stick it long enough I may get to strut my stuff Working for a nice man Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman In a great big Broadway Show
Marguerite Marsh... you just made my day! Can’t wait until we can hear you in person again Michael .... but this is a GREAT idea.... sat nite I listened to you past performances snippets.... I couldn’t stop smiling! Thanks !!!!

Someone butchered the spelling of Aaron’s last name in the video. He’s a superb singer.

It’s Tveit. IT’S NOT THAT HARD!
I'm just a Broadway baby
Walking on my tired feet
Pounding 42nd street
To be in a show, oh
Broadway baby
Learning how to sing and dance
Waitin' for that one big chance
To be in a show
Gee, I'd like to be
On some marquee
All twinkling lights
A spark to pierce the dark
From Battery Park
To Washington Heights
Some day maybe
If I finally reach my goal
Heck, I play a butler's role
To be in a show
Hey, Mr. producer
I'm talkin' to you sir
I don't need a lot
Only what I got
Plus a tube of greasepaint and a follow spot
I'm a Broadway baby
Broadway baby
Slaving at a five and ten (Ooh, yeah)
Dreaming of the great day when
I'll be in a show oh
I'm a Broadway baby
Making rounds all afternoon
Eating at a greasy spoon
To save on my dough
At my tiny flat there's just my cat
A bed and a chair
Still I'll stick it 'til
I'm on a bill'
All over Times Square
Oh, some day maybe
If I stick it long enough
I may get to strut my stuff
Working for a nice man
Like a Ziegfeld or a Weissman
In a great big Broadway Show
Aaron Tveit 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Aaron is wonderful! Is there any song he can't sing?
Marguerite Marsh... you just made my day! Can’t wait until we can hear you in person again Michael .... but this is a GREAT idea.... sat nite I listened to you past performances snippets.... I couldn’t stop smiling! Thanks !!!!
