Broadway Bucket List: Brandon Uranowitz Sings His Dream Roles

Two-time Tony nominee Brandon Uranowitz dropped by the BroadwayBox studio to perform 16 bars (or so) from the top three dream roles on his Broadway bucket list-and it was EPIC. Get ready to laugh and cry as he sings Parade, Company, and Falsettos.

[@fruityeel]

me, looking at brandon: *don't touch your hair, you're perfect*

[@heather.chandler.musicals]

YES HE IS

[@CaptainQuirky]

OMG Brandon singing "Not Getting Married"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN DOES HE BREATHE

[@CaptainQuirky]

Right though??? I think I remember hearing that it's one of the fastest Broadway songs ever, clocking in /just/ under "Guns and Ships" from Hamilton (which is like 6.3 words per second at its fastest parts).

[@icawus972]

CaptainQuirky as with anyone who sings this song: n e v e r

[@Jcontardo]

It's a patter song, the whole point is that they need amazing breath control. Watch What Happens from Newsies or The Speed Test from Thoroughly Modern Millie are great examples as well! :D

[@andyaliaga3188]

you don't. You don't breathe when singing this song. My theatre director loves giving me song like this and that's the big secret. You don't breathe.

[@chrisroderosvlogsroderos267]

If the current revival of Company does transfer to broadway he could possibly do this role on broadway

[@ashleyjones9788]

“Not every man-“ You’re right Brandon Uranowitz would never do this to me.

[@Bluebaritone]

That poor piano player has to play two of the hardest songs in musical theatre 😂

[@Rachipupu]

ikr 🤣

[@BobJoeman]

She was killing it, I'm guessing the action on the upright wasn't fast enough for JRB's sixteenth notes

[@waytoomanybees]

I was just waiting for "biblical times? biblical times." but clearly the other people in the room weren't playing along

[@ShadyMilksYoutube]

4:38 it would've killed me if the pianist had stopped playing and was like ".... biblical times?'

[@MiningReflections]

He cry. I cry. We all cry.

[@auburn_rachel]

i’m crying, he’s crying, they’re crying, we’re crying

[@BEE-mp9vk]

I want him and Stephanie J Block to team back up for a revival of Into the Woods (with Audra Mcdonald as the Witch of course). They'd be great!

[@user-tn1dy4en1w]

B E YES! They would be perfect!

[@demondollee]

It'd make so much sense as well,seeing as Chip was the original baker and original Mendel.

[@sp00ndinner]

I would love to see them as Leo and Lucille

[@tanyahhope]

B cat holy ducks! That is like perfect casting! Just need the right team

[@beckiesuesim2157]

I would kill to hear Audra McDonald sing a version of "Stay with Me" AHHHHHHH!!!!

[@jasonc.parker4644]

Brandon would be perfect as Leo, and he's in the right age range. (Leo was 31 when he died, and I believe Brandon is 29-30). As far as his Lucille, I would love to see Betsy Wolfe tackle the role. I realize she would be playing another role originally played on Broadway by Carolee Carmello, but maybe it would finally get her a TONY nod.

[@jacobmccain8794]

So crazy that the show just did it’s revival with Ben Platt as the lead while simultaneously Brandon was in Leopostaldt and just won a Tony! He’d be a great replacement for Ben if Ben for any reason left!

[@jasonc.parker4644]

@@jacobmccain8794 And Betsy was finally nominated! It’s like everything manifested, just not in the order I anticipated.

[@jacobmccain8794]

@@jasonc.parker4644 yes OMG! I’m such a big fan of Betsy!!!

[@Maddieray11]

I know it’s been two years and no one will see this now BUT the fact that this is just for fun and he still just goes right the fuck into it and CRIES right out of the gate as Leo is unreal he is so talented

[@matildakarlsson2487]

there's no way brandon is a real human being no one can be that perfect i'm unstanning

[@tommytran8880]

Man, he is killing the accompanist with these selections lol

[@laurenng9058]

I just keep replaying "Marriage Proposal". Brandon is just phenomenal! I wish him all the luck at the Tony's this year!

[@kylaj4923]

I am actually dreaming about seeing a Parade Revival with Brandon as Leo, he's perfect

[@lizziex7117]

Couldn’t help but filling in Trina’s “good” after he says “I’m not a giant man” lol

[@unwashedgrapes8605]

0:53 *"This is Not Over Yet"* Leo Frank in _Parade_ 2:27 *"Not Getting Married Today"* Amy in _Company_ *!* 3:51 *"A Marriage Proposal"* Mendel in _Falsettos_ *!!*

[@thebowows]

how does he not have a tony yet

[@marcodissa]

Company, Parade and Falsettos: all of them in the Top5 of my all-time-favourite musicals and dream roles. I can only say that Brandon has great taste (u.u)

[@calilovett2063]

He is so awesome and I love his musical theatrey voice. He would be a great "Amy" - and he'd make a fantastic Bobby too ;)

[@laurenconrad1799]

It is so wonderful to see someone getting a role that he so desperately wanted and to see him describe the experience as life validating and life affirming. Go get em, Brandon!

[@breebarkell509]

Stephanie J Block as his Lucille Frank would be PERFECT

[@abigailford9032]

that breath control ahhhhh

[@allyson--]

Came here after the announcement of the 2020 Company revival. Truly hope to see Brandon cast as Amy/Jamie!

[@allyson--]

I mean,,, not disappointed at all with the casting of Matt Doyle though

[@mikeyca]

OMG I fully support him as Leo. C'mon, producers. Make that happen!

[@ineslime3929]

didn’t know i needed him to do a full version of “getting married today” until today because WOW i need that

[@theblackcat2792]

Yes

[@maddielentz7406]

I love him! I hope he plays all of his dream roles he deserves them. Amazing in falsettos

[@aliciaf1214]

I need him singing the full song from Parade. Omg. So amazing

[@davidfleischer455]

That proposal is so heart-felt it made me cry twice. Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!

[@kmjdlc]

i watched this again after forgetting about it and also listening and falling in love with parade and i appreciate him singing “this is not over yet” so much more!!

[@imkelolove2140]

Omg I love parade😍 He would be be perfect!

[@becaalevin]

I think Amy should see Mendel for some guidance

[@Shae29]

Lmaooo

[@opalash3345]

it’s cAroline 😔

[@taisgrim]

Each day I love him more

[@miawatson2146]

I want to see Brandon in the revival of company next year, as Amy. I mean, they're making Bobby a girl, so why not?

[@catherinehorowitz3930]

[@miritskeen]

Awesomeness 💜☮️🎶

[@andiehuman]

damn damn damn. He got pipes I reckon

[@um_bun_nun]

BRANDON AS AMY WOULD BE AMAZING 💕💕💕💕

[@brotherluthor6400]

I'm three years late but I would die happily if we got a Broadway revival of Parade with him in it

[@isabellanebs22]

aHhHH he makes me so happy.

[@alexs.3383]

He deserves better than the best

[@dannysimion]

What a charismatic performer showing us all facades in these three. I am impressed by him as Amy in "Not Getting Married Today" Wow!! As for my favorite amongst the three - definitely Leo in Parade!! That hair -heck yeah!! Im digging them curls.

[@cassiecope99]

I was just in a production of Parade as Mary Phagan, to date the best production I've ever been a part of. I'm biased of my production's Leo, but Brandon would certainly play Leo very well.

[@reneguerra6003]

*starts singing not getting married Hamilton who?

[@luciesmith2706]

HIM SINGING ITS NOT OVER YET = CHILLS

[@One2Thr33Four]

he would be such a good leo

[@gailhobbs9752]

Yay Brandon likes JRB! ☺

[@HannahSmith-kr5jh]

Aight, who wants to compile all our money together and fund a Parade revival for Brandon to star in.

[@emerybaker7141]

Masterpiece

[@anonymousbunny1497]

I love him as Amy lololol

[@kk7171]

Imagine him as Dr Pomatter... That would be amazing.

[@noellealmeidasantos374]

brandon: me: wow he really did that

[@yona4121]

That Amy rendition was AMAZING

[@gabrielavitar2399]

ngl i was waiting for someone to say "biblical times?"

[@joester_toaster]

brandon is the original jamie version of amy in company, he is the blue print for gay company

[@cierahowell8653]

I would pay good money to see you as Amy. I think the role in an adaptation could easily be male.

[@claire-xq2ys]

GUYS I HAD A SOCCER COACH TODAY WHILE I WAS AT GOAL KEEPING PRACTICE AND HE LOOKED AND SOUNDED JUST LIKE BRANDON??? WTF????

[@highoninfinity]

what a man

[@tictactic4989]

can we just get a live stream of just Brandon singing his parts and that's it with all his acting that would be the best falsettos oh and have the lesbians in it too

[@HannahSmith-kr5jh]

well, looks like we're gonna have to finally revive Parade now so this can happen

[@andreagarcia874]

who disliked this video?? I just want to talk

[@jxx6324]

not getting married was fucking great I love this man

[@ellietolley9007]

broadway backwards but we have him being Amy doing Not getting Married Today, god it would be great

[@michael5876]

Broadway needs to extend the revival of Parade so that Brandon Uranowitz can have an opportunity to replace Ben Platt!!!

[@laurenconrad1799]

I kept checking to find out if Brandon actually got the part of “Jaime” in Company. But the role went to someone else. Oh well.

[@taraquinn453]

ok he'd make an incredible Jamie if company transferred to broadway

[@jxx6324]

brandon singing ‘not getting married’? he did that

[@emilie.oegendahl]

LET BRANDON URANOWITS PLAY LEO FRANK!!!!

[@sapphael.]

NOT GETTING MARRIED WAS GREATTTT

[@lizcombs2687]

The six people who disliked this have no soul

[@dinnirules]

So now I need him to be Amy in Company

[@jillian_fitz]

obviously the Parade revival NEEDS to happen but also now with the gender-bent cast of Company,, what is stopping them from casting Brandon in the replacement cast ?? nothing . he’s simply so talented I will die on this hill

[@leafbug56]

this comment didn’t age well… as sadly BEN PLATT got casted in Parade at the city center

[@jillian_fitz]

@@leafbug56 PLEASE I am in mourning today

[@SandyGooen]

I doubt he'll be leo on tour but that doesn't mean that I don't think he should. he should've gotten to do it on broadway too

[@clarissacortez250]

[@yodogyep7898]

I’d love to see Brandon as Amy

[@laurenconrad1799]

Now that they’ve got a man to sing Not Getting Married on Broadway, I’m dying to know what that audition process was like. Who were the contenders, including Matt Doyle who ultimately got the part?

[@EdwardCullen667]

Ah I wonder if he saw the London production of Company with the gender swaps...

[@mk_master4031]

I wish he could sing my music

[@oswaldcobblepot6039]

wrow

[@nataliacruz6218]

Little did he know that company did a gender bent and Amy is Jamie lol

[@lilinamazimusic]

parade revival

[@juliaunger913]

Who would be his Lucille, though.

[@ToTheMax1149]

Julia Unger Carmen Cusack

[@juliaunger913]

Max Bahneman Ooh...she wouldn't have been my first thought, but that would be amazing!

[@lagarland]

Julia Unger Alexandra Silber!

[@voxextremos22]

Sorry Brandon you got robbed by Ben Platt

[@theblackcat2792]

Yesssss

[@Razputinsgoggles]

The fact he’s wearing a jean shirt pains me

[@cierahowell8653]

I would pay good money to see you as Amy. I think the role in an adaptation could easily be male.
