Laura Osnes - What Baking Can Do (live at 54 Below)

[@junobuendia5567]

Oh my gosh, I needed to hear this! She is so good, but in my opinion, with her vocals, I'd kind of like to see her play Dawn. She has the tone to execute Dawn's songs.

[@CountryCowboy008]

No, she's not quirky or awkward. She can defo pull out a Jenna..

[@michaelwilliams6132]

No her character type is definetely Jenna, its a little bit too much belting for her but it would be cool to see her play it

[@miabieber4910]

Definitely agree

[@dumdiddly23]

yep, couldnt see a hint of jenna on her. But would love to listen to her pullin’ out when he sees me

[@Sam-qf5pq]

Countrycowboy08 she’s a good actress tho that could pull off the quirkiness that dawn holds!!

[@CountryCowboy008]

*died *resurrected Now I *need* her version of She Used To Be Mine

[@bro-kc5xd]

hi please cast laura osnes as every role ever thanks

[@sophiestiker8892]

her hair looks so soft like wow

[@meggypeggy9142]

The "doooown!" Is so hard to sing. Everyone makes it look easy

[@mallorykatelife2098]

Meggy Peggy I know right!

[@Xparty6985]

I always sound like a dying cat when it comes to singing that part

[@maggiejane17]

Xparty6985 😂😂 me also

[@CoNnOr17rEd]

I think Laura's throat would disagree lol

[@mar-ui2sr]

Cause it's not that hard 😂

[@princesswarrior10]

LAURA OSNES AS JENNA HUTCHINSON WHO AGREES

[@lilyrafanan7614]

hunterson

[@pjm9275]

Thea Marela I think she has more of a Dawn voice

[@mattmanning4252]

YES

[@justinebenoit4126]

I love Laura but she doesn't have the right voice, imo. Definitely more of a Dawn.

[@lbvld44]

THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!!

[@patsymcaruthers7207]

So awesome!! Love hearing Laura Osnes singing this song! Outstanding voice!

[@itscoco042]

top 10 most ambitious anime crossovers

[@cuddlypop23]

She should replace Jesse Mueller when she leaves omg

[@DramaTenor]

She should be the replacement for Jessie.

[@kira7705]

Drama Tenor FOR REAL THO! This is the first non Jessie performance that I've seen of this song and honestly enjoyed :')

[@JoshFreilich]

Drama Tenor If only Bandstand didn't get in the way...

[@RatMaster01]

OH MY GOD YES! i am happy for sara and everything ut i want to see a fresh face

[@stephpiano2908]

Now that Bandstands shut we can only hope...

[@MisterMagikarp]

Dear Laura's agent, please make her Jessie's replacement. Sincerely, Kev

[@abialston8476]

How is she literally perfect

[@MusicalTheaterGeek24601]

so fitting! she loves baking!

[@judahcatherine]

I didn’t know I needed this until right now.

[@jdcmr]

She ain't Jessie Mueller but I'd rather have her take on the role once Sara's done with her own run than the current understudies Stephanie and Molly.

[@Emilia-dy9ox]

Jasmin Mariano I saw Stephanie and she was absolutely phenomenal. Not just vocals, but her stage presence and her version of Jenna is just so sincere and beautiful. I'm a fan of hers now.

[@jdcmr]

Oh not hating on Stephanie Torns. I just thought that, with how they are doing right now gross-wise, they needed someone who can sustain ticket sales that would even be at least a bit closer to Jessie and Sara's. Especially since the show is slated to be open til January 2018.

[@jdcmr]

I'm glad Betsy Wolfe is taking over, though I don't know if she can rake as much money or the same as Sara is doing now with the show. But she is Betsy Wolfe so I'm pretty sure the show is in good hands. Stephanie Torns (sp?) is a good ensemble, not a big fan of her Dawn, but maybe she's better at being Jenna.

[@jdcmr]

True, that's why I'm glad they asked Betsy to take over the role after Sara leaves. They have been doing so well in the box office since they opened. Not as high as Hamilton, of course, but not every show is Hamilton and Waitress is the only other show aside from Hamilton that was able to recoup from amongst the 2015-2016 Broadway season. (SoR hasn't, has it?) So, if they're going to survive til January 2018, they're gonna need someone as established as Jessie and Sara, and Betsy Wolfe is a well-known name enough to attract theater goers. Honestly, I think the casting directors are doing so well at finding replacements for the lead; Jessie Mueller, Sara Bareilles and now Betsy Wolfe? I mean, WOW.

[@jdcmr]

I stand with WADA Yeah, I'm really amazed at how well Waitress is currently doing considering a bunch of new shows are opening up. This is why Sara's casting is such a genius plan; they have her take over the show during the most crucial time and given how much they are raking these days, I'd say they'll be fine despite the popularity of ALW shows and the rest of this year's Broadway season. Also, maybe that's why they had Alex come back to SoR? To help with the recoupment? Idk.

[@ameshatiwari563]

In love, she should play Jenna when Betsy leaves

[@jessicalee2210]

Petition for Laura to be the next Jenna after Betsy leaves (whenever she does idk when)

[@mckenziemurphy421]

I think she’d be an amazing Jenna, but she’d be such an amazing Dawn! A lot of people say she isn’t quirky enough, but that’s what acting is. Pretending/Being someone you aren’t. Her voice is perfect for dawn.

[@jennhiemstra]

The problem is, I've seen her try to play quirky and awkward...it doesn't read because she's too naturally doe-eyed and a Perfect Princess type.

[@mattmanning4252]

I love her so much and I want to meet her in person rn so much because she is just so good and I love her so much

[@nachocheeselunchables]

she's done with bandstand, perfect for her to take over as Jenna

[@ervincasiguran]

this is so good!

[@KatInventor]

Please upload her "When I fall in love" from pride and prejudice if you have it! I'm dying to see it!

[@allisonk7112]

I only took video of this one, I'm sorry! :(

[@meggypeggy9142]

Laura osnos is Broadway I can’t deal with this

[@BroadwayWiz]

love.

[@jasmineflowerjoy]

how was your experience at 54 below? I see so many videos from it and am really interested, but just wondering how much it ends up costing, with tickets, food, drinks, and tips and all ~

[@allisonk7112]

I've only been there two times (to see Laura and to see Brandon Uranowitz), but I really enjoyed both shows. It's really nice, but it definitely is on the pricier side. You can usually get tickets for a good price - I bought Laura's in advance because I didn't want them to sell out, so those were full price, but I got tickets to see Brandon for like $25. There's a $25 food and drink minimum per person, so you can go and just get an appetizer or some drinks if you want to stay near that amount, or you can pay more and enjoy a nice meal (everything they serve is REALLY good). I stayed near $25/person for this show because I paid more for the tickets, but my friend and I got dinner and dessert for Brandon's show and it ended up being around a $90 bill. So it's not CHEAP, but if you break it down price-wise it's less expensive than getting dinner and seeing a Broadway show nowadays! Both experiences were worth every penny though, so I'd recommend going if you get the chance. :)

[@serenaic18]

It's pretty pricy, but the atmosphere is second to none, and the service is amazing. Plus, it's a very small venue so the shows feel very intimate.

[@sacha5985]

Allison K At least it’s still cheaper than Hamilton ;)

[@alleng.paquiz1525]

If Laura works on her belt more (since she can definitely do a mixed) she can definitely be Jenna. I never knew I needed this performance

[@aubreymatalon1290]

can she play jenna please & thank you!

[@stephpiano2908]

THIS IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE

[@mattsmith8397]

Hey although you have just this one video, would you be able to provide a full setlist? Would appreciate very much!! Thanks!

[@allisonk7112]

[@DancingThroughLifeOn]

Matt Smith What was the story about Smash??

[@jayzee82696]

She'd probably make a better Dawn than Jenna honestly

[@sashavanlooy4122]

where do you get that dressss!!!!!!!

[@mosarufhussain8147]

nice

[@kaitlini.7972]

Please let her be the next Jenna omg

[@kimunasque]

broke my neck watching this🤪

[@JuanjoRodal]

She sounds like Jessie 😱😱😱

[@jackclancy7570]

Laura is much better. Jessie cuts her notes short and tapers her notes extremely and doesn't sound that great

[@evaandelisa]

Sierra is better than the both of them

[@jessicalee2210]

I could totally see her as Jenna after Betsy leaves

[@seantodd8875]

I just wanna smack that guy in the lower right corner of the screen. How dare you not pay attention to the performer on stage? Especially one of this level of talent?

[@i.f.1943]

does this woman even need oxygen holy-

[@marielim-decastro4384]

PLS PLS PLS MAKE HER THE NEXT WAITRESS!!!

[@drumsac3004]

The big high note at the end was flat.

[@kaykibbe9312]

Baking needs preheating to warm up the buns! Teehee

[@shelbyresz0165]

i can't believe waitress is gonna close before laura osnes could be in it

[@londonthecav9399]

Ummm she’s the next Jenna👌🏽 anyone else think so
