- Morgan James recently dropped by the BroadwayBox studio with accompanist Christopher Stephens to wow us with the power and control of her incredible voice as she performed three dream roles (all of which are traditionally played by men) from Hamilton, Company, & Candide for her Broadway Bucket List.
Get ready to stan Morgan James, and keep an eye out for her new album (Memphis Magnetic) and upcoming tour in February 2020.
Accompanied by Christopher Stephens.

Most singers preform what they can. Morgan preforms whatever she wants. Love her voice and energy.
Her voice is actually INSANEEEE, her pitch is so perfect and she hits every note so welllllll
Morgans James is phenomenal!
Morgan said oh y’all want DIVERSIFIED SINGING!? Hold my metronome.
Her classical training certainly comes through... an amazing performer whatever she chooses to sing. Always delighted by her work. Thanks Morgan!
Wow! The first one is like if Julie Andrews ever played King George!
...but belted it
A mix of julie and patti lupone. I love it
kerry jay Omg now I need Patti to sing this
0:47 I’m dead....that placement.... I need CPR
John Garvey I know! In her song Ransom she did something similar and better 🙌🏻
Ironic how her singing 'Being Alive' has KILLED ME! She is a queen and i am deceased.
I'm LITERALLY in love with her
This is by far the most creative, interesting bucket list to date. She is incredible.
I would see any production that featured Morgan James! She has a powerful and soulful voice.
If they ever did a Killing Eve the Musical, I feel this take on "You'll be Back" would be an AMAZING addition!
Omg right! Perfect
THIS SUGGESTION IS GOLDEN
Okay but if there was a game of thrones musical she would be soooooo good as Cersei????
Agreed!!!
but why would there be a game of thrones musical?
Eoin Campbell I mean there is a lord of the rings musical. I’d listen to it.
I was just coming to comment this! Her King George is very Cersei!
Jack Saunders i was thinking the same thing 🙏🙏
She just continues to amaze....I am awed by this angel.
Enjoyed Being Alive the most. Her characterization and emoting thru the song is terrific and keeps it from just being another vocal. Love Morgan!
spectacular. actually incredible. best one of these yet.
Morgan so so impressed you should be a world star as I’ve listened and watched for years, love and emotion from Guernsey
Morgan! You always keep surprising me! Your versatility and unique talent is just mind-boggling... Can't wait to see you perform live.
One of my favorite performers! 💖
After seeing Morgan Live in August, these online are so much better to me - she is as close to perfection as anyone, ever - and this set, mostly acapella, are stunning
This is not even remotely acappela.
She’s so absolutely incredible. Would be amazing in any of these roles.
She is brilliant!!!
She needs to be on Broadway!
Ken Gray she was in Godspell 2010? I think? She went to Juliard.
She could be if she wanted to.
I’m holding out for a gender swapped Jesus Christ superstar with her as Judas,
@@margicates553 There's a new all-female JCS (well, Part 1 anyway) with Morgan as Jesus and Shoshana Bean as Judas. MJ holds "see how I di-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-e" for 26 seconds.
@@GreedyLittleFokker Where can I see this?!
She was in Motown the musical
christopher stephens is sooo wonderful to work with ❤️❤️
Morgan is such an amazing artist.
Her voice is the one thing I'd take to the island.
underrated singer
YES
She’s amazing!!
Morgan James makes any day brighter.
Oh my!!!! More please!!! This is wonderful!!! I love the last one the most due to its difficulty and the fact that you had to put yourself into it so much!! I explained my joy out loud as you cane to the end of it!!! Absolutely lovely!!!
She reminds me of Hannah Waddingham so much. Both so talented!!!
Postmodern Jukebox brought me here. Seriously, listen to the songs she sings for that group, she is such a powerhouse!
She has me heart till the end of time.
Amazing! What a sensational singer. I keep going back to her for reference in that I think 'how would Morgan tackle that?'
Barbara Streisand also did a stunning version of Being alive. ❤❤
First time discovering her. Wow. I love her energy and how she's 100% all in on these great tunes. Okay...it only took this video and I'm a fan.
You have so much to look forward to. ENJOY.
Wow! That’s my favorite word when it comes to Morgan James
Wow, I could just imagine Morgan singing her '' Bucket List '' for the Jury at the Jodi Aries trial.
She's adorable, and an outstanding voice as well.
What A great voice!
Love, love, love!
Anyone know what key she is singing “Being Alive” in. Cause I need to put that key in my rep!
B major
Warning ! Do not employ this lady at weddings or funerals ! At weddings not many will look and listen to the bride, but only to MJ . And oh my God, at funerals, people will forget to be sad , they'll forget about the departed one and listen and watch Morgan James .
Inspiring!
She is amazing!
Now that ladies and gentlemen is talent...
Wov!! These interpretations are just so incredibly wonderful !!!
You've got me wanting to watch Hamilton now.
My gender defying bucket list includes:
-JD, especially Meant to be Mine from The Heathers
-Evan Hansen in general
-Michael, especially Michael in the Bathroom from Be More Chill
-Valjean In general from Les Mis
Mine would be:
-Cathy from The Last 5 Years
-Angelica from Hamilton
-The Baker's Wife from Into the Woods
Ultimate bucket list role: Cathy from last five years
Gender defying role: JD from heathers
Then I also would love to be pretty much anyone from in the heights 😍 😂 especially Vanessa or benny or abuela claudia
mine would be mark cohen
Amazing voice!
Is there anything this woman can not sing?!? I am stunned.
I love you Morgan James, so much!
This woman is my hero
Morgan your version of the Hamilton song is such an improvement. I thought Hamilton was horrible until I heard your rendition.
She is fantastic
never enough- greatest showman
She is so amazing...omg!!!!!
I am DEAD. What an inspiration.
She reminds me of pepper potts
Sondheim is the greatest and you nailed “Being Alive”!
That dress makes me think of the song Aquarius from the movie Hair. I think you should do that song.
I mean, the whole point of Candide is to demonstrate the foolishness of blind faith and unconditional optimism though :D "It Must Be So" is supposed to show how Candide can't bring himself to question his beliefs to grow as a person and start understanding the world for what it really is, which is what he'll learn to do by the end of the musical ("Make Our Garden Grow").
This reminds me of a recent video where actresses were gushing about how inspiring and empowering Evita is. Evita is... not supposed to be a good guy? And she definitely wasn't in real life? x_x
BEING ALIVE YES YES MY HEART
I’m not sure if there’s a more talented singer around at the moment. She needs to be a household name.
Great performance, great voice !
Morgan could sing the Schenectady, NY white pages and win a Tony.
You are phenomenal!
Increiblee talento wow quede impactado con el inicio
If they ever make a Joni Mitchell movie, can Morgan James play her?
Truely one of the world`s great singers.
Please come to New Hampshire
I'm from Ireland, and I have never heard of Morgan James. From the title I was expecting Morgan to be a Female Impersonator doing songs made famous by women. Bhí mé go hiomlán mícheart!
There's also a video of her singing all the songs on the White Album. She's terrific!
Versatile is an understatement
Does anyone know what key You’ll Be Back is in?? Bc... damn
Third song...hit...me..good. Wow powerful
Amazing......
Does she have any videos I can play at work, without getting told to "turn that off: ?
Sure, check out Sledgehammer or any of the hundred renditions of her own that she did.
Ok... let's hear "old man river " ;)
I bet you would have some fun...;)
Wow... Incredible
I didn't know she was crazy until that first song. LOL
Exactly my thought. Just this side of bonkers. It's what I love about her.
Superb
love this girl
Her singing Jesus in "She is risen" is freaking mind blowing
My first reaction was WTF is going on with this video. "It must be so" was fantastic.
I guess it's a WTF upvote.
OMG! Whoa and Wow!
Браво!
what key does she sing "being alive" in??? I need to sing that PRONTO
I saw it mentioned in another comment but it’s B Major
OMG WOW!
holy CRAP bruh 0:45
#MorganJamesRocks
Bravo, bravo, braavo, bravisimo
😀👍👍👍ciao Italy
I was trying hard to notice anything that is imperfect in her performance and I found none.
They need a better mic. You don’t get the clarity of her belt here at all... it just turns harsh.
Dot de da da da!
Dai dee dee dee, dai dot dot dai!
Umm. Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
PUT HER IN COMPANY NOW YOU COWARDS!
Морган уже не та... Прошло 5 лет, голос изменился. Образ тоже.
Gender - Defying ? WTF
Wow, she sang songs traditionally sang by men. So gender defying 🤦♂️.
Sounds really good though, got some skills.
What do you think gender-defying means lol
Nothing gender defying there, but great performance.
What do you think gender-defying means?
Now i have a headache.
Not my thang
Cheers.
