From The Glee Project to a Tony Award winner. Just iconic

[@nickolaskaaay3232]

Bear in mind Alex didn't even win Glee Project but they realized they had fucked up majorly and cast them in the following seasons anyways. Ended up having way more impact than the two guys who won.

Alex Newell is a gift from God. Insane talent off the charts. Fire!!!

[@jaime1803]

Can't put into words how amazing it was seeing her live in Shucked! A hilarious show with some amazing performances, but hers was just brilliant!

[@dylansmith1833]

Alex is non-binary. Using They/Them pronouns

[@donnachardeen9362]

I cannot agree more. We went without knowing what the show was about. We just love Broadway and knew we wanted to see something different. I could not get the entire musical out of my head for weeks. This song though took my breath away. I didn't know there would be a barn burner and I was simply blown away. So happy for all the accolades and cheers Alex is getting for this performance.

[@dantethepotato9263]

@@dylansmith1833 alex actually uses he/she/they pronouns! any pronouns are acceptable for them :))

[@TheAmityElf]

This song is an immediate click, no questions asked. All the love to Alex, for sharing such an amazing voice!

[@derrickboatman1560]

Damn been a long time since a vocal performance gave me chills like that.

[@TheXenderful]

Holy damn! That’s a voice!!!!

[@rick.8589]

this vocal powerhouse needs more recognition ❤❤❤❤

Such an artist.. the best!!

I am LIVING for those alternate runs and options Alex gave us ❤

Alex truly was the highlight of Shucked. Saw the show this November and it was amazing!

[@theaterkween5791]

Every time I hear “I’m independently owned, and modulate it.” chills

I'm not crying from joy about the human voice, YOU'RE crying from joy about the human voice! ✨

IKR? She Might Be A Goddess, tho

This comment is so cute

[@cherylannebarillartist7453]

We just saw “Shucked”! It absolutely delighted us!!! To sit in a multigenerational audience where the laughter filled the theater over and over was spectacular!!! An unexpected joy!!!! If you can, go see it while you can!❤😊

[@azielaugust8349]

She is one of those singers that sound better live than in the studio version.

[@hammun6]

Holy. Mother. Of God! She's astounding!

Alex is a unbelievably fantastic Powerhouse of a singer. I absolutely love her.

[@travgames0113]

Alex uses They/Them pronouns.

[@Kaironynth]

@@travgames0113Alex actually has gone on record that they are gender non conforming, so they go by all pronouns officially.

[@travgames0113]

@@Kaironynth ah. Wasn't aware of that.

[@JustStopPlayingGames]

I almost skipped this video. I'm glad that I changed my mind. That was incredible!

Whaaaaaaaat?!?! That was outrageously amazing!!!! 😍🤩😍🤩

[@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet]

Oh wow, I loved Alex from Glee so this is such a lovely surprise!!

Alex is a jewel. That voice is extraordinary

[@myōōzikentertainmentgroup]

I feel like if Whitney was still alive she’d be throwing her shoe and praising them. The vocals are incredible.

[@Sharkhunt947]

Phenomenal performance 👍🏼❤️👍🏼

[@nikobatallones]

Alex’s gone so far from those Glee episodes! 🎉

[@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet]

Unique ♥️

[@TechBearSeattle]

And one of the few to make it big out of an amazing cast of singers.

[@DayquanDamas]

​@TechBearSeattle most of them did tho. Loads led their own TV show. And most of the rest are in Broadway. Or Authors. Crazy. But I think loads were on Broadway before going to glee. And even more crazy that Alex was only supposed to do 2 episodes and ended up a main character.

[@nikobatallones]

Lea, of course, and Jenna Ushkowitz was also on stage before Glee.

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

Sing, Alex !

[@user-pc4ul7rk6y]

People, this is god level. Have never seen anthhign like this in my entire life

[@katealittle]

Alex is up there with the greats. Roles that can only ever be sung by them. Streisand. LuPone.

Alex is the new CLASSIC!

It doesn't get better than this! Wow! Congratulations, Alex! ❤🎶

[@valeriepark9444]

The upside of having the writer's strike finish before the actor's strike is all of these amazing Broadway promotions when they might otherwise be glossed over. Silver linings!

[@nabsmad]

Bravo!!!!!!

[@bookbwitched6823]

Holy W - O - M - A - N ! Dang Girl, You Are A Goddess! Magnificent! Thank you, oh, hell, yeah, you are a stone cold Goddess. On 🔥. Watched this 8 times. I am an old Crone, a music lover, a Broadway freak yet so few times have I ever had my breath leave, my tears to start & my skin chill. I was transfixed everytime I watched this. {What A Dress! Befitting you [& the song] like the Goddess you are!} Hot!

Absolutely breathtaking performance! Talent like that is rare today!

[@camilla8129]

Some voices come to a point that I experience a suspension of disbelief, I'm not even surprised cause it isn't human anyway lol. Alex is out of this world!!!

[@amytrapani4452]

Love her! And Funny fact- colbert did a skit once making fun of my hometown Canton,ga on the show,the actor who plays beau in “shucked” grew up not too far canton in county called Cobb County. Shucked takes place in another Cobb County,but it’s spelled cob.

[@sevensongs]

They knock it out if the park every damn time. I so wish I could go to NYC to see this show.
