[@mauivosa]

phillipa: original cast denee: original BROADWAY cast there

[@user-yw7eo1cw1j]

Vanessa Eliza thank you I was so confused

[@mauivosa]

jeorge washingmachine welc

[@LosloTypical]

Denee was also in the 2015 reprise of the show as Natasha which is really what pushed it to Broadway.

[@xiao2310]

So whats the difference? Sorry i am confusion

[@dankhnw8]

Both are splendid

[@chalexdallas4709]

I love how when the actress who plays Maria messed up, she just kept going. Didn't flinch or anything. A phenomenal actress!

[@celestialbaguette6060]

Looks at the background: *something about for kids* “ HéLèNe iS A sLuT”

[@jeagle1038]

“For kids” Casually does shots while singing

[@krau2880]

“Helene is a slut”

[@elle4346]

"Natasha's mother and closest friend" I feel so bad

[@forthepudding11]

I think I'm in love with the red headed ensemble member.

[@maddisonbrown8181]

Emme McFarland the one that sang as Héléne? if so, that would be Lulu Fall. The other one would Lauren Zakrin. She goes on as Natasha sometimes.

[@savthememe740]

Lulu Fall and Lauren Zarkin! I love them too!

[@risipieces]

several years late but if you love lauren zakrin then i have to recommend we are the tigers, she’s incredible in it

[@LocalTorchwoodIntern]

They look like they're having so much fun singing the prologue even though Maria messed up a line but they're still having fun!! :3

[@emilygood2015]

I HEARD MY SELF LMAO. it was so hot that day lol. this was one of my favorite performances from that day!

[@chrissy8130]

Who are you?

[@dipannitasarah5521]

@@chrissy8130 she was probably in the audience, heard herself cheering too loudly or sth

[@aliozz3143]

I will make a controversial comment and say Shoba Narayan is my best and favorite Natasha I have ever seen, and I've seen this musical10 times. She has a delicate and fragile youth & beauty, & angel's voice, that I think is perfect. And when she is a gypsy playing the violin, on the other days when she's not Natasha,, I can't take my eyes off her, she is amazing!

[@PlayingWithFire18]

Gelsey Bell's voice in the last "and Andre isn't hereeeee" 💛💛💛

[@junobrosas]

Courtney Bassett (red-headed ensemble actress between Pierre and Anatole) reminds me so much of Sierra Boggess!!

[@junobrosas]

Thomas James You're right😂 Thanks for the correction! Her headshot on the NPGC1812 website looks a lot different than her in this video

[@toowylde]

@@junobrosas That is actually Lauren Zakrin between Scott and Josh, not Courtney.

[@junobrosas]

Beth Senturia Thanks, I corrected this in a comment three years ago haha

[@toowylde]

Julia Noelle Brosas lol - I just found this video now. I’m a huge fan of Lauren’s :)

Denée Benton is great.

[@dankhnw8]

You can see that they're having so much fun

[@beatricethetheatregeek8604]

Sonya and Denee taking shots linked together is great oml

[@ALOHAMOMMA60]

I loved the play and Josh Groban was terrific in his role. It won't be the same when he leaves.

[@anonymousvlogger8608]

Agree

[@adrianareyes8496]

I went to broadway in the boros yesterday in queens and when that lady stepped in front at 3:41 I can only imagine how annoyed everyone behind her was because everyone did that to me yesterday. Its infuriating

[@thesmeaguel6190]

Josh is being so mysterious LET US HEAR YOU

[@RosesNightengales]

He was probably on his tour at this time. I hope he attends the next one! This song is so much fun!!!

[@charlotte6849]

i like they guy who plays Dolokhov here

[@h.5576]

charlotte nick choksi is a god

[@beatricethetheatregeek8604]

Isn't that the original, or does he just sound exactly the same?

[@DMCMT01]

I wish there was a cast recording with Scott as Pierre

[@BartholomewHll]

Natasha's mother and closest friend?

[@aidensantillana4627]

Bartholomew Hall yeah I noticed that

[@kokopoofs7031]

Probably just a accident but that threw me off and I had to listen multiple times

Josh Canfield 😍

Queen Basic I felt so bad for her

[@franciscabaduya]

Ooh, the actress for Marya messed up... 😓😓😓

[@sleepdeprivation8390]

fluffy catzzz well, they're all human and at least she didn't stutter or get flustered, which would make it very noticeable

[@jamirgordon9745]

fluffy catzzz She's and understudy for many different lines, making sense of why she forgot, considering she has to remember so many different lines.

[@aenjel8043]

Yeah but she handled it very well

[@lydiaszlasa9835]

WHERE IS LUCAS

[@fyodordolokhov5606]

LAUREN ZAKRIN IS SO CUTE

[@addisonhancock9757]

Anatole’s finger guns at Dolokhov 🥺

[@darrellrussell658]

Go Josh Canfield

[@victoriap.3394]

i miss the original cast....

[@madelineb1186]

❤Tiffany Jade❤ Agreed. This one is still good, but the original is my favorite.

[@victoriap.3394]

I'm really gonna miss phillipa as natasha. i feel like no one can do that role justice the way phillipa can, its like the role was custom made for her.

[@victoriap.3394]

but hey she was in hamilton and now she's in amelie so at least she's still performing

[@anrina]

This doesn't represent most of the actual Broadway cast. So they're being supported by understudies, which is typical for these kinds of performances. Look up who is actually in the cast on the website. and I bet most of them were in one of the previous productions.. I've never seen any other version of Great Comet but Denee sings like an an angel. Lucas still plays Anatole. Josh Groban is perfect for Pierre.

[@erinbrown8697]

anrina So Lucas wasn't Anatole in this one? It didn't look like him but I couldn't be sure

[@Ace-tt5fe]

I cried a bit when the woman playing marya messed up the lyrics..... considering this is a professional broadway cast but, hey, we're all human right? Of course this isn't a real performance sorry idk am I being too critical?

[@evanmcguire5787]

I'm, guessing that they're a little tipsy

[@nalanol]

They are human

[@kaciebroadfield262]

she is an understudy :) and normally, ensemble members cover many different characters so it's understandable as to why she'd forget her words

[@ellamarshall3208]

i don't think it was the actor who plays her in the show because the woman in the show looks shorter

[@ellamarshall3208]

adam mason same with the woman who was heline

[@musicaltrash2024]

PEARL MARYA!???????

[@happybalaga4716]

Amber Gray? 😢 Btw i love it

[@AtomicSim]

Revival when?

[@itisindeedaverysavvystudio]

Nobody noticed Marya’s mistake lol.... This is not to berate her btw

[@scottcopeland2590]

Josh from Survivor?

[@QuikVidGuy]

So we have Brittain, Grace, Gelsey, Denée, and Luke, but not Dave

[@MsGeminimage]

Anyone know the actor playing Anatoly?

[@lyip888]

Anatole is played by Lucas Steele in the off-Broadway and Broadway shows, but in his performance, he is played by Josh Canfield (understudy).

[@storretime_]

does anyone know who plays Marya in this?

[@lyip888]

Marya is played by Pearl Rhein here. hope this helps.

[@anuklosmosriptide2536]

Where's my Lucas boi

[@PhoenixJohnson29]

What happened to Josh Gorban?

[@leowahlqvist5347]

is that Dave???

[@lyip888]

That's Scott Strangland!

[@unknownatlas66]

I’m sorry but Anatole is a Blonde Elvis.

[@camirobinson9237]

who is this anatole

[@camirobinson9237]

also who is this pierre

[@h.5576]

the pierre is the wonderful scott stangland, and is the anatole is the amazing josh canfield!

[@Sam-qf5pq]

THIS ISNT THR ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST!!! MOST OF THE PRINCIPLES ARE NOT THERE!!! DO NOT BASE THE BROADWAY SHOW ON THIS PERFORMANCE

[@emberfrost7980]

Lost In The Kingdom A major part of this production in the park is to showcase understudies^^ So, no, this isn't typically the onscreen casy

[@tillie_brn]

Lost In The Kingdom It was still amazing imo

[@Sam-qf5pq]

and I'm not saying its bad, honestly I think I love the understudies as much as or even more than I love the original cast...ppl in the comments are just saying that this cast (thinking its the original Broadway cast) is really bad and they cant believe they took the show to Broadway...so I'm just letting y'all know that its not the obc 😊

[@SPORCEX]

LUCAS STEELE IS GONE NOOOOOOOO

[@rachelf5466]

1) Dave Malloy is a musical genius but no singer. 2) What's up with Anatole? I thought Lucas Steele played Anatole from the very beginning of the production.

[@lyip888]

Rachel F this is Scott strangland as pierre, and Josh canfield as anatole, understudies

[@carrot1681]

denée is a much better natasha than phillipa just saying

[@mauivosa]

Nneoma Uche ,,,,,,ouch

[@xeniadav06]

Nneoma Uche Depends.... I personally prefer Philippa just because she portrays a more fierce Natasha, which is also closer to the book character. I like Denée as well, even thought she is a more "young" and "inexperienced" Natasha.

[@coco-dw3mf]

Nneoma Uche Although I love Phillipa, I felt Denées voice fit more for this role

[@sanjnab8383]

Nneoma Uche it depends Pippa's voice is more mature and Denée's is more young and alive. I guess Denée would be a better singer for Natasha's role cuz Natasha is young.. eheh see what I did there??

[@sierrapop6563]

Yeah.

[@justlyli9813]

The original cast sounded a lot better
