I don’t think people understand how difficult it is for two actors to stay connected through a virtual duet.

[@KenDanieli]

"I don't think people understand....." STFU

[@gaylereser4099]

Plus I don't know that everyone appreciates how complex and difficult it is to sing Sondheim. PLUS I never knew Jake sang...he's great!!!

[@shoredrama88]

This for me is the benchmark. I always go back to it.

[@FelixVW]

I certainly do. I had Zoom rehearsals for "The Messiah".

[@brandygoebeleveryhomeneeds8199]

Stephen Sondheim is hands down one of the greatest, most complex lyricists ever. Full of so much nuance and depth, I seriously discover new things every time I listen to his work. Sir, you are so much more than a national treasure. You are a gift to humanity.

[@BrettAlanActor]

Not only that but his instrumentals completely tell the story

[@lynnlRDR-RDR2]

Who knew Jake Gyllenhaal could sing...and he's a tenor! Great performance.

[@MattB0610]

So my undying love for Jake Gyllenhaal will last forever and this is why. He's a movie star who fits right in with a group of Broadway powerhouses. You don't see that very often.

[@frutoish]

Annaleigh and Jake are fucking perfect together. And Annaleigh has like this fucking beautiful captivating tone that just melts me.

[@lucysnowe31]

I agree. That tone. She's a golden bell.

[@PeggyMcCabe]

Just seeing this now and realizing we were in the thick of covid. I recently saw Annaleigh in Sweeney Todd. She is so talented. Jake Gyllenhaal ..... come on. You have the voice of an angel. What can't you do? The two of you together are stunning!

[@juliaholzschuher]

Came back to this today after hearing of Stephen Sondheim’s passing. Thank you for creating such a beautiful show as Sunday In The Park With George.

[@johndavidtibbetts7320]

I know sondheim being Jewish means rest in peace is not the customary phrase but instead May Your Memory Be A Blessing. But that doesn't sit right with me with sondheim either. Because "may" imples that the matter is up for debate It isn't. It never will be. Stephen Sondheim, your memory is a blessing, always has been, always will be. We promise to take good care of your hat collection

[@lucindaarmour4685]

This lockdown production for Mr Sondheim was one of the truly beautiful things to come out of that time. Thank you.

[@JJ-qz5gv]

DAMN! JAKE'S FACE!! Feeling everything he's singing. Bravo!!

[@isabelpulido6887]

Guys, I was lucky enough to see the original Broadway production in 1984 with Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin, but, I must say, Jake and Annaleigh were fantastic! Yes, who knew Mr. Gyllenhaal could sing that way. What a revelation!

[@princesslisamarie7860]

Isabel Pulido What’s so weird is I just finished watching this this evening. The One that you mentioned. I lay down in bed turn on KZbin and I see this on my feed… Weird

I love they way they sound. Truly. I would enjoy seeing this on stage. Thank you Jake and Annaleigh.

[@kaylahensley1581]

This makes me want a film version of Sunday's so bad!!!

[@Kasino80]

I fail to see any studio understanding what to do with it. As for directors I'd love to see Sam Mendes take a stab at it. He directed a great Company with Adrian Lester as Bobby. He at least would understand Sondheim.

[@rachelh2816]

They filmed the Mandy and Bernadette version. It’s part of a Sondheim box set

[@michelekett8450]

Wow, Jake what a voice and expressive singing. Sondheim the master.

[@biomanization]

“Anything you do, let it come from you, and it will be new (or true)”. One of the best lines in Broadway. Thank you guys, and Master Stephen Sondheim!

[@Hans-sg5rg]

I think I like this song even more this way with just the piano and vocals. I wish I could buy it.

[@intentionalmimi4579]

WHAAAAATTTT????!!!! None of us were in on the 'Jake Gyllenhaal could sing' secret. So delightful to watch these two sing. Thank you for putting this in my day today. :)

I judge any performance of Sunday by Dot's intonation on "Let others make that decision, they usually do!" ... Mess us up the "let" and "usually" and, well, that's the show. -- She is great.

May u compose forever Stephen! You will be missed, ur legacy will live on!

It's fascinating to think that Jake could make a movie like Bubble boy be so funny and heartwarming, and then see every other development in his career. He is exceptional in all he does.

really nice, did not know Jake could sing like that...very talented actor

[@issaa3565]

I had never heard of this musical until I saw this as part of the birthday tribute to Sondheim. Since then I’ve been watching the televised version with Patinkin & Peters over and over. I’ve tried to find as many clips of Ashford & Gyllenhall. 💝🥰 definitely a fave I’ll never forget now. Thanks Sondheim & Broadway!

[@kamurablade]

WOAH! JAKE ! My man can sing.👏🏼 Pleasantly surprised you're an absolute creative musical and acting genius . Beautifully sang together, Annaleigh has classic Broadway voice. Very lovely.

[@klausi6483]

I saw the original on Broadway... three times. Twice with Bernadette and Mandy and once with Bernadette's replacement. Since then it's been like trying to catch lighting in a bottle of a musical and a specific song that completely moved me...this song. I've seen it again at the Kennedy Center, Broadway, and other DC theaters. I had no idea Jake could sing. And Annaleigh I didn't know until I saw a promo for the Hudson theater...I though maybe lighting..I bought my tickets at the Hudson. I should step out of my explanation to say my partner went with me and, sometimes humored me, to see all these performance. And then the Hudson. When we walked out he said: I finally get it....he finally understood what I saw. It's a love story first and foremost with art as an overlay. It's great, all the part about children and art and what you do, but look at the soul of this musical. Two people and how they can or can't relate and what each gave to the other. Thank you Annaleigh and Jake. Lightning was caught and I'll remember your performance as my last.

[@gamma8562]

I’m in awe of people who can sing 🎵

[@faye76000]

bravo at these two. it is VERY HARD to follow Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters in their iconic roles.

[@allyson--]

Definitely check out their 2017 Broadway Cast Recording if you haven't already! I've listened to them sing this so many times that I could feel the exact inflection they'd use to sing this - so great

This to Sondheim AND Jake - if they ever make a movie of Company, you would make an excellent Bobby.

[@garywhitcomb4430]

He would make a great Bobby

[@lesliehubernyc]

He’s a good singer but Bobby’s songs are really difficult. Being Alive. Jake has some difficulty with some of the high notes. I can hear it cause his range is similar to mine 😂 really nice voice though. Would love to see a movie of Company as well as Sunday in the Park.

[@blcsuperdave]

I stumbled upon the gold standard for this piece, the Bernadette-Mandy version on KZbin three days ago. Since then I have watched it 3 times.... I was thinking - Feature Film. Couldn't figure out who should be in it... until now. Beautifully done.
