[@lauriejean9306]

a woman so deeply comfortable and strong in her own being, she's a gift and inspiration and a role model for all of us

[@EmilyDeanemilily88]

This is why she has ALL THOSE TONYS

[@Alumita]

Lol!!! Seth tells her to be sassy, so she gives him the middle finger and proceeds to hit an incredibly high D flat! YASSS, MY QUEEN!!! :-)

[@PrincessErikaSinging]

She is absolutely FANDAMNTASTIC!!!!! This is why you have so many Tony Awards. I'm singing this for an audition and I was looking around for this song on KZbin. Seriously, the BEST!!!!

[@antoniocapella5851]

Audra e a minha cantora preferida disparada no mundo, me emociona quando canta.

[@MackenzieRaeDowning]

Omg this video is so amazing❤️😭 I died haha I've never heard of her but this was so fabulous

[@missfuneralsong]

lmao watching to the end and then seeing it was Seth on the piano because of course it was 😂

[@alwaysnew189]

great #soprano of the stage

[@kerincorado702]

Esta canción es mi evaluación final de Técnica Vocal y ahora me siento intimidada T_T xD

[@isabellevasquez7433]

The sheer betrayal on her face when the key changed 😂

[@RustySax1949]

@Isabelle Vasquez - Yet with humor and grace, plus being the pro that she is, she seamlessly changed keys herself almost without batting an eye - all while flipping Seth off in the process!

[@codymullican3723]

The fact she ended on that high D flat and it surprised her really made my night! Bravo to one of the Broadway Goddess's!

[@maxmitchell6150]

Was that in full chest voice too?

[@aaronnewman7573]

max mitchell no...

[@KajiVocals]

@@maxmitchell6150 Full head voice.

[@alwaysnew189]

Amen bro

[@MarioStahl1983]

Sure, she is great. But her voice is much tooheavy andpowerful for this light soubretta song.

[@maggiemarie261]

If you don't make a face singing that last note, are you really a soprano? Love her!

[@jacquelyns6548]

7 haters just hating because they can't switch keys mid song impromptu and finish like a goddess!

[@shekolacarrington4522]

I love how she flips out and gives him the finger for changing the keys!!

[@taraty101]

"All right everybody shut up...my solo" LOL I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!

[@deloneymompremier2326]

Spoken like a true thespian

[@NYCER4LIFE]

That was a great D-flat/C-sharp at the end. I didn't expect that at all. That's probably the highest note I've heard Audra sing in public and she rocked it!

[@kirstenirwin9084]

Sings like an angel and has a terrific sense of humor. I love this woman.

[@williamlrobinson6293]

Audra has a fine voice. She is one of the best vocalist of this era.

[@undead.rising]

I did **NOT** expect that high note at the end. WOW!

[@Haneefa341]

She sings opera too.

[@mirandashea9191]

Seth loves a good high note finish

[@pudgeuncle]

this tempo is insane.

[@dianebennack9482]

AMazing voice and I love the fact that even though he raised the key towards the end she still upped the ante with the high note and hit it! OMG it's high!!!!!! SHe nailed it.

[@storiesofagriot]

Audra Mcdonald will forever be my queen! The high D flat made my life complete ♡♡♡

[@alittlebitanna]

Audra is everything I want to be in life

[@DrGryndMD]

Thank God I'm a grown man or I'll be putting Audra posters all over my bedroom walls. Love that woman!!!

[@ToastyLermon]

My voice teacher compared me to her this morning and I almost cried. She's so amazing and I love her so much. She's an idol.

[@Ihdc1]

Why doesn't she sing opera with that voice? She sounds just like renee fleming.

[@ChicagoSouthDan]

+Ihdc1 She was Bess in a Porgy and Bess revival, which is close to opera.

[@Ihdc1]

Adam Efimoff My fair lady isn't opera. It's musical theater.

[@ChicagoSouthDan]

+Adam Efimoff She has done roles that were typically a white person's role. She won a Tony Award for her performance in Carousel, doing a role that is typically done by a white woman. Also, she recently did the Mother Superior part in a live TV production of The Sound of Music. That, of course, is a white person's part, since Mother Superiors in pre-war Austria were not black. For My Fair Lady, they could engage in color-blind casting, as they did with those other parts, and cast her as Eliza Doolittle, the Julie Andrews' part. I'm sure she would do a good job with it, since she did a good job with the other parts I mentioned. It's just a matter of whether you would be willing to accept the color-blind casting.

[@teejay1397]

+Ihdc1 She went to Juilliard for vocal performance.....she was/still is an opera singer

[@cirrusB612]

Actually, she does sing an aria in Beauty and the Beast...

[@ladyshkspre]

She's just wonderful. Just enough of a diva to put you in awe but fun enough to make you want to invite her to supper. I love that she said "come on you theater queens" and flipped off the pianist when he surprised her with that key change toward the end. Audra, you're my hero!

[@dasautogt]

S.U.P.E.R.B. all that talent and clearly NOT a diva.👍

[@lilladykey28]

Bravo and she flipped him the bird lol

[@zeldacromwell7558]

Seth: "Next Step" Audra: *Eyes * Seth: "YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT, I'M GOING UP" THE FINGER Seth: "GO FOR IT!" Audra shows us one of the many reasons she is 6 Time Tony Award Winning Actress Audra McDonald

[@beek.4860]

Seth on piano constantly changing the key had me laughing so hard - I have a voice teacher who does the exact same thing to me whenever I sing this exact same song. I think the record for the highest she got the final note without me noticing was an E.

[@brookeelizabeth1104]

i love her. she is so funny, honestly, her voice is amazing!!!

[@skricho]

This was a private event for R Family Vacation. There were probably about 250 people at the show.

[@littlehouse15]

Thanks for explaining about Seth's piano playing. Know I get why she was flipping him off. This whole thing is funny as hell. "ShUT UP! MY solo!" and they just keep singing! lol

[@VarunKumar-cb5hm]

James corden car pool bought me here. just amazing voice

[@Pooquie1]

She is simply amazing.........thanks for posting this.

[@jqualinscott4169]

I just threw my phone!

[@sallyclarkson8571]

[@provostjacques5374]

[@muscleboi4use]

AMAZING!!! GREAT voice, GREAT presence... just terrific!

[@conniedean3787]

Wow amazing - looking forward to see the play at Proctors in Schenectady, NY - May 21, 2022

[@sassy12696]

[@magus9130]

I could have danced all night, to her voice👏

[@rubenesque07]

[@cobydjmx]

i was the Sound eng. that night and i'm sooooooooooo glad to work with her.. amaaaaazing.. i live this woman.. and Seth.. oohh..

[@ChicagoSouthDan]

The picture and sound quality is great. Also, how many people were in the audience, 40 or 50. This looks almost like a private concert.

[@silentsmurf]

Wow love the echo you can hear at the second to last note

[@violetta47]

Wooooow...Wonderful

[@26109216]

Seth Rudetsky in the piano is also amazing!!

[@VannahSavage]

she could have stepped on me she could have stepped on me and my bisexual ass would still have begged for more....

[@MikeA15206]

And we didn't need to risk COVID-19 to see this - wonderful.

[@littlehouse15]

I'm trying to figure out everything that Seth is saying. Not doing too well. lol

[@alicia92960]

OK - I think she's singing notes only my dog can hear - and I don't own a dog.

[@partyinthetardis]

Wow. Wowie wow wow.

[@johnnycuff4647]

beautiful voice

[@mykaraokechannel347]

I smiled all through this! Fantastic! Love it!

[@CeliniacForLife]

The high D flat at the end though! Incredible!

[@natashacoude5271]

WOW

[@baframer]

Am I in heaven?? Wonderful.

[@anthonyhenrysmith]

amazing as always

[@operachild]

DIVA!!! Motherfucking DIVAtastic!!!!

[@mga2899]

No acoustics and a twerp on the piano but Audra still scores an A+.

[@hamzahdrawings3381]

i can't believe this was from 12 years ago. time passes by fast

[@Jenna-wn4ux]

She's just incredible....

[@EvanBrechtel]

Wow. I can't explain. I just love her so much. Wow. Anyone else feel lifted 100 feet in the air with that last note?

[@elijahbryant7665]

SUCH AN ICON OMG!!!

[@SomeoneSomewhere42069]

Pssshhhhhhhh she sounds kiiiiiiinnda good or wateva 😒 *clicks replay for the 253rd time today*

[@broadwayelmo]

I absolutely LOVE her. She is such an inspiration.

[@belladarling4256]

I wish I could find the live version of this. She included the orchestra, it was lovely.

[@junelongoria5833]

She's fabulous!

[@katou629]

amazing beautiful

[@glorybeam]

Awesome! What was that final note???

[@RichardOdom]

Love it...lol

[@MatSwim94]

it is a C#6 :)

[@djm1072]

damn it audra!

[@justinisaqueen]

yeah same me 2 audra

[@amapparatistkwabena]

Brilliantly Audra!

[@Arctophile2000]

Oh Seth, you rascal!

[@broadjaychaz]

5 tony's now! :-)

[@MatSwim94]

unfortunately it's "only" a C#6

[@corneliusbates460]

she is so wonderful

[@mangelapinheiro]

she's awsome!!!

[@Ihatetechnology]

So impressive that she can have fun with an audience while simultaneously blowing them away.

[@jerrysumner4923]

Audra can do no wrong,

[@seanyates5769]

Seth is soooo shady. We all know she doesn’t like singing at her whistle register. She gave him the middle finger because he spontaneously took her into her 7th register wayyy before the highest note. It’s hilarious that although she was surprised she still performed in whistle to perfection.

[@greg1030]

My dream girl.

[@agnesfehervari6431]

Gáz

[@ellahmwanjasi9647]

Lovely 💕

[@pshimcool1]

ahh good for her :))))

[@LiveArtistVocal1]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHmazing.

[@carlosnunezfigueroa3270]

What did she say "what are you doing?" to Seth if he did the key change after that? I don't get it

[@04cburns]

AMAZING!!!

[@malbertmacl]

@operadivo17 flat, I think - unless my piano is that far out of tune. A semitone can make a difference when you're flying way up there.

[@rochellewarren6219]

💜💥

[@barbarahourigan8462]

💛

[@MultiDanielrj]

como pode??? uma gravação amadora e a voz inteira imensa,

[@solangedesantis5515]

Audra's a goddess and Seth's a remarkable pianist, but the jumpy, speedy tempo didn't do much for me. Sounds like a little too much caffeine at the keys.
