JONATHAN BAILEY Company - London 2018

[@joelarama]

Who ever staged and or directed this number is a genius.

[@tomshea8382]

The great Marianne Elliott.

[@orangebandmedia]

I saw this live and when she come out the fridge I completely lost it. Tears streaming down my face.

[@anitalevy-sisk4014]

I have been searching for a decent version of this for the last 5 years (pun intended, I suppose!) THANK YOU.

[@gjsclass9013]

Same!

[@SReck36]

Excellent pun.

[@laurakistemaker8918]

Same!! Great pun

[@MindiB]

This. Jonathan Bailey is remarkable. Don’t think we’ve found anything he can’t do yet. . . .

[@starsailor1234]

I marvel at this man on a daily basis. He is pure joy and raw talent. I wish I could go back in time and see every role he's ever performed on stage . . . .

[@Peter-z9t]

He debuted as a dancing raindrop at age 5 in a school play about Noah's Ark. The actor playing Noah missed some lines so little Jonny's entrance was skipped. Tears ensued. After curtain call he was allowed to do his dance.

[@vinalboy]

I’m sure Stephen Sondheim is loving Jonathan Bailey’s performance. So am I.

[@MichMeister16]

This man is a bloody SUPERSTAR! Versatile, charismatic, and humble, and, sure, why not, easy on the eyes! BRAVO, JONNY! 👏👏👏👏🙌💓

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

God how do you not want to hug Jamie? He literally steals every single scene he is in in this show, and let me just say, the gender flip works incredibly well.

[@suzylovesmambo]

the way he sings in such a perfect accent

[@macrichardson7904]

He is such a beautiful man inside and out. I love his joy, who wouldn't want to be around him.

[@vahi37]

Love Jonathan Bailey!!

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

Loved this production and the ensuing transfer! RIP Stephen Sondheim

[@theprocrastinatorschannel]

He's absolutely incredible

[@cynerixplayzroblox828]

I recall seeing part of this exact clip on Instagram but, never got to really see more, thank you for uploading more of that clip, Jonathan is incredible!!

[@bernieappugliese2029]

I wasn't sure I was going to like the gender swapping...but I love it!!! And love the London Cast Recording!

[@Izzy-Maurer]

The direction in this production is so good, really leaned into the comedy in a way some haven't!

[@phyliciaf2222]

Jonny is incredible❤So talented

[@ryans634]

Aurora - ill never be able to thank you enough for this. The production of a lifetime, and a joy to be able to see him do it in HD again x

[@PictorialMuseum]

Thank you for sharing, Dear Aurora. This revival is near and dear. A lovely video of Bailey’s talent and the remarkable comedy that occurs throughout the staging of this scene.

[@katiehough2499]

I loved this number ...and also Barcelona was so funny in this production

[@cian634]

Ive been desperate to see a decent recording of this perfomance for ages. The staging is sooo good, I wish I couldve seen this run.

[@jaydee970]

When he mouthed "don't tell Paul" Olivier.

[@arronholman]

You’ve done it again spider woman! we owe you 🕷️ 💃

[@mta04cji]

My gosh, where did this come from after all this time! I love it, and loved it then. What an incredible production.

[@davidsheppard-x7w]

Fantastic.

[@RobertSchumann-ox6eh]

[@cmoouk14]

[@booksvsmovies]

[@guadalupeescobar1516]

[@aziraphaleluvr]

[@Pixies-d1s]

Thank you aurora so much. If you have final curtain call video I hope someone can post

[@obijuansx]

Oh Jonny 😍🥰 (You don’t happen to have Ladies Who Lunch from this performance too do you? 🤞🏻)

[@julianaturner1282]

FINALMENTE MEU DEUS

[@hubert6260]

he also played Jamie in L5Y haha

[@S-pw2jh]

And sitting!? This song is insane!

[@ciaranhagghaggerty326]

Anyone got the full show?

[@puck1724]

Coming back here to look at the real Fiyero pants

[@ikerplazas9842]

Excuse my ignorance is that Patti?

[@bobkaplan7054]

Can you believe...the major thing i notice was......polishing black shoes in a white suit!?!? This guy is wonderful....think i would let him put me in the closet.

[@nathanielwazhere]

Omg they did a gender swap I love it

[@MrsWmson]

I THANK GOD FOR AURORA SPIDERWOMAN EVERY DAY

[@DDTC73]

This must have been pretty early in the run? By the time i got to see it, his performance of this song was considerably larger, and not for the better.

[@craiglesuk1]

What do you mean by larger? A longer version or over acted?

[@DDTC73]

@@craiglesuk1 Overacted

[@simonward6550]

@@DDTC73 Yeah, it definitely got larger. I was lucky enough to see it twice once in previews and then again towards the end of the run. I much preferred the earlier performance.

[@DDTC73]

@@simonward6550 I had heard only great things about his performance, but by the time i saw it late in the run, his performance was too OTT. I wondered what all the fuss was about.

[@BernardProfitendieu]

couldn't understand a word he said

[@Countfoscolikesmice]

fantastic. and now he's playing a 17-year-old in Wicked!

[@xxkristinakatalystx]

His character is not 17 in Wicked 😂 he’s an older college student

[@Peter-z9t]

@@xxkristinakatalystx At 36 years old in 2024, he is playing a 20-21 year old college student. As are Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, also in their 30s. Jonny's character Fiyero was one of the few characters in the book "Wicked" written explicitly as a "brown" character.

[@xxkristinakatalystx]

@ all I said was he isn’t playing a 17 year old

[@ryan3136]

If they cast actual college kids for Wicked people would complain they didn’t act/sing well enough. Yawn. Kristin and Idina were both in their 30s.

[@joeburinskas8672]

Robbed of an Emmy

[@Peter-z9t]

Matt Doyle won the Tony for this role in the Broadway transfer--quite likely Jonny would have won it had he transferred.

[@joeburinskas8672]

@Peter-z9t He got an Olivier for rhis

[@fernandabluntkrasinski9026]

Emmy is for TV

[@joeburinskas8672]

@fernandabluntkrasinski9026 For his role in Fellow Travelers

[@jerseygirl1748]

i think he means for Fellow Travelers and I agree
