Lindsay Mendez and Alex Gemignani sing "When the Children are Asleep" from Carousel

Lindsay Mendez and Alex Gemignani sing "When the Children are Asleep" from Carousel at the 63rd Drama Desk Awards on June 3rd, introduced by Joshua Henry, hosted by Michael Urie.

From Grease to Dogfight to Godspell to Wicked to Carousel, Lindsay Mendez is a true force of nature. Very happy that she is finally getting truly noticed and rewarded for her insane talent and passion. As an aside she is also the friendliest and most genuine actress currently on Broadway.

[@auspicious93]

she was so cool when I met her at the stage door last week!

[@soopersalad2509]

i loved her in wicked! i think it's wonderful she got a role in a revival! i think sometimes it sucks that ppl dont recognize ppl who are in long running shows as replacements. congrats lindsay!

[@ernlwjr2]

They are delightful! Mr. Gemingnani’s voice is remarkable!!!

[@marielpare8290]

This has always been my family’s favorite song from Carousel. These two sang this perfectly ❤️

[@ez88uc]

Alex's voice... damn!

[@mckenna8663]

I love Lindsay in everything does. She's just a cupcake with sprinkles!!

[@ellaa499]

Why is this… so accurate

[@maz2825]

Loooove the guys voice 😯💛🎶

[@dillonohlemiller401]

1:56 I’m pretty sure that look on her face is genuine

[@FlowersInHisHair]

So sweet

[@maninchair6648]

Beautiful ! At last everyone is getting to know Lindsay and her stunning voice . Can't wait for the cast album.

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

Alexander Gemingani was my first Valjean. He's been a musical idol ever since. He is just stupid good.

[@MarthaGarvey]

He really is. Did you see him in Encores "1776?" He blew that stage up.

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

Martha Garvey He’s also a GREAT actor. You should watch him play Johnathan Hinkley Jr. in Stephen Sondheim’s “Assassins”. And on top of that, he’s the son of Paul Gemingani, Sondheim’s most frequently collaborative Conductor. In my mind, He’s the Broadway equivalent to Paul Giamatti!

[@taylorsimone3711]

Lindsay Mendez is precious

[@vino140]

Yuk.

[@broadwaymike92]

I was there in person for the Drama Desks. Went in support of Lindsay since I study with her at Actor Therapy (the Theater school she runs with Ryan Scott Oliver). Proud you Mama.

[@KaylaGrosse]

So freaking great. They are just genius, brilliant people. Whoever disliked this...WHY?!

[@AAparallel]

Loved seeing these two in the show! They're hysterical and so so good. Ahhh

[@NewHopeRichieRich]

Love Lindsy Mendez.... the best. Congrats, you deserve all the accolades.

[@Courtney-gq6so]

I can’t believe this exists ❤️ aww I’m so happy

[@Dodielover-od2ix]

Gosh Lindsay Mendez is genius

[@oietchau162]

Man, I'm in love with this woman.

[@blulinx]

Congratilations Lindsay! Your Star always shone bright and many blessings on your well deserved Tony!

[@leannecoletterooney]

This is angelic

[@camilaalvarado4106]

OMG IM STUNNED

[@honeyjbc1]

Heavenly. So's the whole show.

[@alexs.3383]

4:40 I know that wasn't planned but it was still cute 👓

[@MarthaGarvey]

I just saw this. They are really perfection.

[@KiddoLODVG]

1:48: Oh my effing God!

[@MarthaGarvey]

Ha. Same thing happened in the show.

[@lonniecohen7155]

Brilliant! Carousel deserved Best Revival, Joshua Henry as Best Actor, and the great Alex Gemigani as Best Supporting Actor. Loved the show, it was brilliant. Shame on The Tonys.

[@ellaa499]

So true! Every actor that was nominated here should have won, this show was perfection!!

[@rosaliekurland5817]

Lindsey is the best,,,

[@JosephJohnson-gu5fw]

And Lindsay is disgustingly good as always. I will say I did not recognize her instantly. Perhaps the makeup and lighting did not agree?

[@kingikiller]

Joseph Johnson she looks different but i think it’s her hair, she usually has more volume

[@KHobbies_cina]

Because she is usually a belter, but R and H's musicals calls for head and clean vibratos.

[@FandubWorld]

Just wondering, is Enoch supposed to be a lot older than Carrie? I'd only imagine him being like 5 years older her, so he'd be in his mid to late 20s and she'd be in her early 20's? Or does it just depend on the actors? He looks at least 10-15 years older than her here.

[@mckenna8663]

Enoch was born middle-aged.

[@violetta7853]

I have to admit I prefer a real soprano as Carrie. As much as I love Lindsay she sounds like a muppet here. Go listen to Audra McDonald if you want to hear how this song was written.

[@jeanc621]

Audra is one of my heroines

[@Shy.coffee.bean.]

So this is amazing, but why do they sound like they’re from Brooklyn?

[@auspicious93]

lol, she sounds like Adelaide

[@GillyWhitfootHaysend]

Good stage chemistry. Nice rendition, but she's too Ethel Murman for me. She should use that vibratto sparingly.

[@bob5188]

It's a New England accent, not Brooklyn. Listen more carefully.

[@auspicious93]

Bob Webster is it specific to ME? I'm from CT, and no one here talks like that haha

[@bob5188]

No, it's not you. Go a bit further north tho. Maine like Minnesota, has a very distinct accent. And it's written that way.
