Oh what fun

Oh, I love and so appreciate these deconstructions!!! With gratitude from Canada❤ 😊

Fabulous Donna!🚢 Great fun!

Seth, please do a deconstruct video of Melissa Manchester’s “Don’t Cry Out Loud.” I loved your deconstruct on Linda Ronstadt and thought this iconic song/artist/performance would be perfect for your breakdown skills

Damm

Still love to go back to this fun chat and performances! Lea will be performing in STEPHEN SONDHEIM'S OLD FRIENDS in LA soon, then the production will have a limited run on Broadway. And later this year Lea will be doing her first musical in Manila, Philippines in six years: playing the Witch in INTO THE WOODS!

you in Jane in Anne you good

I love the high notes she shrieks comedically, it adds this lovely element of... insanity? If that's the right word. It's like the narrator is trying to come across as Julie Andrews, but the shriek adds this unbalanced tone hinting at her obsessiveness.

wow I love crying

So Kristoff doesn't want to build a snowman, He wants to f**k Hans instead 💀💀💀

Daphne is one of the most electric and charming performers to ever grace the stage! (and she can still rip your heart out when need be)

2025 fiends

You are just too cool. In my head, I have deconstructed this lament for decades, they way she expresses her emotions from sadness to rage...all within one breath. You solidified when I always knew and you explained it beautifully. You made my smile & cry. Thank you Seth so much.

average the life of the party listening experience, i love it so much i could yap about it and sing it for god knows how looooong

Crazy wonderful

Thank you Seth! I’ve always loved his work in Chess. I did not know that was him in Grand Hotel. His heroic tragic end was a shock to me. Your history lesson is much appreciated, but also, I love watching you lip synch because it helps me physicalize how David is manifesting those wonderful tones. THANK YOU!

Technically, most female singing voices are sopanos (or mezzo sopranos, same difference), so I assume you mean you're not a big fan of opera? Or operetta. It's not my favorite singing style, but it can be so beautiful--as Barbara Cook amply proved. Perhaps the obsession with technical perfection is the issue. What's strange about her is that she is pretty nearly perfect in her technique (like I'm qualified to judge), but she's also very soulful and conveys character through song (the gold standard), but I'm not good enough at opera to know who does that when it's Verdi and Puccini as opposed to Gilbert & Sullivan. I only discovered her recently, and her Rodgers & Hart album is one of the few physical CD's I've purchased. Rodgers & Hart standards are performed in a wide variety of styles by a wide variety of singers, and I could never say who is best--but in terms of performing the songs as they were originally intended to be performed, in a theater--nobody could possibly top her. Even though she never appeared in a Rodgers & Hart musical. She's a theatrical soprano, and that's how she later became one of the supreme interpreters of Sondheim--in her memoirs, she says when she first met him, he came out and asked why she never sang any of his stuff. That's how highly regarded she was, and still is.

I come back to this video once a year.

how can he be this obsessed w a woman and be gay haha

There is truly only ONE Professor Harold Hill. And that’s Robert Preston. HOWEVER Patti just proved she can hold her own..lol👍👍🥰

I don't think I'll ever get over his passing.

I am STILL obsessed with her voice. Best blared in a car!

so eternally grateful that you captured this incredible moment in history. LOVE YOU SETH

I cried 😢😢😢 it's so beautiful...and his voice is superb

This is still my favorite version. Even now that Trump has won again.

She's absolutely magical! Have always adored her voice!

❤🎉❤

Amazing performance.

This put together lovely

Judy Garland’s great gift-one of them - was that her singing voice sounded just like her speaking voice. They have that in common.

I’ve always wanted to hear this song like this!!!!! Thank you!!! It’s like adding that key change to the end of No Good Deed

I need to know how Raul does that. Jesus fucking Christ that’s amazing.

Brava! 😍

SiriusXM and tiffany so many stars in those names

Hi Seth I’ve been a fan for many years. I would really love if you could do a breakdown of Aquarius/Let the sunshine in. Specifically the harmonies and the chord progressions. I truly feel only you can do it justice. PLEASE!!

Alice has a sweet little voice peeking around Rip’s doobie dabbas. Also, Rip! ❤️

is that a Dugdale photo on your wall behind you?

Good lord!!!

❤❤❤❤

The lyrics cut through my soul. This song defined a 4 yr relationship I had. Sob. I'm fine. Love a 70s scoop. I hope it's not a long, long time before you bring your show back to Carmel IN. Brava

Seth, you are absolutely hilarious, and totally spot-on! well done sir!

PATTI LEGENDARY LUPONE!!!

Thank you, Gavin. You elevate every song you sing to a spiritual event. Gone too soon, way too soon. Fly with angels.

Beautiful ❤

I was really hoping to be able to play this for victory. But our country is in serious trouble....

Linda answered herself in Different Drum: So, don't get me wrong, it's not that I knock it It's just that I am not in the market For a boy who wants to love only me Yes, and I ain't sayin' you ain't pretty All I'm saying's I'm not ready for any person Place or thing to try and pull the reins in on me, so
