Linda Eder - A New Life (Broadway).wmv

[@vbplayer50]

I was lucky to see Linda Eder and Robert Cucchioli on Broadway before they changed casts. They were brilliant!

[@xtcBEBOP]

ONE OF THE BEST Broadway voices EVER!

[@SilverVeloz]

So happy I got to see the pre-Broadway tour a few times with Linda Eder and Robert Cuccioli. Love her.

[@jessicadavis9177]

she made this show my absolute favorite!

[@MarloDellAntonio]

God damn it. She's perfection.

[@diannes.3900]

I’m in love with her voice - have been since the first time I saw her at the J&H premiere in Houston. ❤️

[@BrooklynBoy639]

I saw this when it opened in New York. I wasn't crazy about the play and was pondering leaving but then I heard Linda and she convinced me to stay. When she sang this I was hoping they rewrote the ending and Lucy lives.

[@RealCheeseOnly]

I love her voice! so clear! gah I just love it.

[@savannahgibbons6349]

The thing I love about Linda's performance/portrayl of Lucy is that it's honest. There's nothing super choreographed or precise about it, which is how all characters in musicals should be approached. She gives Lucy a vulnerability, which is lovely because at the end of the day, Lucy doesn't know what she wants for herself. She just knows she wants better, but she doesn't know how to get to that point. I hate how the Lucy's who came after her do the exact same choreography because it doesn't come from a place of genuine emotion. It feels put on, fake, and forced. That's why Linda is the best.

Thats because producers with a show thats a hit , think for its continued success they have to lock actors performances in and have them emulate exactly whoever originated the role without any flexibility in the blocking. Which is why it can wind up looking false and unauthentic to the character. I totally get what you mean, if you compare Linders performance to Colleen, nothing wring with Colleens voice , in fact I think she suits it more as she's younger imo, but the blocking for her is waaaay OTT in places and like you said it comes off as fake. If only Directors and Producers trusted the actor more and gave them a little bit of freedom of interpretation more. Hal Prince was a master of this on both Evita and Phantom with his leading performers that worked on those shows attesting for his methods since he passed. Not all Directors/Producers are like him tough unfortunately.

[@remyfacade]

It may look like that because Linda is not a trained actress or dancer.

[@gabsterup]

I think both of them have the perfect voice for Lucy. But wow to the original :) awesome belters.

[@gabsterup]

Omg she hits that D like its nothing! Beautiful!

[@ChrisStockslager]

Funnily enough, in the novel, neither the fiancée nor prostitute characters exist! I think story benefits very much by having it have those two characters added in.

[@markleon411]

Wow!

[@dizzyg481]

Colleen is great, but LInda Eder IS LUCY!!!!!!!!!

[@RosesNightengales]

*Spazzes* I freaking love you now. Do you have any more???

[@LilNYMama]

wow, she definitely brings a whole new quality to lucy with her voice & age..... the beauty of different actors..... glad that she wasn't emulating colleen (wait who came first - C or L???)

[@trianamusica]

Linda was the FIRST and original for this part. She’s in the soundtrack along with the rest of the original cast.

[@SnowGirl098]

@LilNYMama Linda originated the role.

[@RosesNightengales]

@KevinScottSings If its possible, could you upload Lucy's death and maybe any other Hyde clips with Bob Cuccioli?

[@Dancelover91]

Could you please upload "Murder murder" if you have it? I love this song!

[@alvinmedina7121]

linda is none of the greatest singers to ever live

[@0BustyStClaire0]

@KevinScottSings EVERYTHING.

[@leonardo_Fabri]

I still prefer Coleen, she made me cry like a baby when I first watched the show, on a dvd player.

[@emdetroy]

@max200 I don't know, I just see more sulking than actual pain, I can't explain it. I just like other interpretations better.

[@emdetroy]

There's no doubt, Linda Eder has an AMAZING voice! But I'm not sure I liked her interpretation of this song.

[@ZornAllein]

@secretpoetry101 not just the quality of the clip but also her singing.....she sounds like she's in pain. and not in a good way. she is better suited for the role when it comes to look, though.

[@secretpoetry101]

Coleen sounds so much better than this... Not trying to offend but it sounds like I just dropped my speakers in water. What's with her vibrato?
