LYRICS - Omar Sharif - The Band's Visit Original Broadway CAST RECORDING

[@ximenavazquez3764]

I loved mean girls, but I can see why this musical won so many tony's with just this song.

[@kenz5206]

What stuns me is that Katrina Lenk keeps her accent throughout the whole song! It’s extremely hard to do that! Even during her belts, high notes, and riffs, the accent is always present!

[@debrabrabenec]

I love this song so much, and love watching the performance on the Tony Awards show!

[@EPHTR8032]

The Tony Awards brought me here. As soon as the performance ended I came straight to KZbin. I wish I had the money and time to see The Band’s Visit ☹️ This song is beautiful and captivating, and I’m sure the entire musical is too!

[@lorddio99]

Dashed here from the Tony’s too. Gorgeous song.

[@mckenna8663]

Just saying - a few days ago I watched the entire show (in 5 parts) here on KZbin. SO good.

[@aiyagilliam9930]

Mc Kenna I saw that but the 2nd part was stuck... I decided not to ruin the musical because of technical stuff

[@michaela3910]

Ok... now i get it. I never understood why people loved this show so much... now I get it. Wow

[@ellej.winsett3701]

the lyrics are poetry. her VOICE is poetry.

[@hannahwinter575]

Just from this song alone, people finally understand the true weight of this show. They finally understand the pain and rejoice and personality of the band’s visit. Deserved every award.

[@BEE-mp9vk]

This musical is stunning. When the curtain fell, I was absolutely bawling. Such a touching, human story with the best acting in a Musical on Broadway.

[@dscottprod]

I saw the touring company of TBV last night and was incredibly moved, so poignant and heartfelt. Sometimes it was difficult to catch all the lyrics so a big THANK YOU to hLyrics for posting Omar Sharif and Welcome to Nowhere! I hope you consider posting more from this show!

[@thecove4770]

This is officially my favourite song just now. Beautiful and in my vocal range.

[@clairepettie]

It's been three damn days since the Tonys and this song refuses to leave my head. Help?

[@bernardmercer3945]

What a beautiful, haunting melody... I can't get this song out of my head. I loved Katrina Lenk's performance on the TONYS!

[@swarnalathasubramaniam7921]

Omar continues to hold the imagination of song writers 58 years after he burst on the siver screen as the gorgeous mysterious dark and handsome apparition out of the desert in Lawrence of Arabia.Charismatic and spohisticated and debonair till the end.And Um Kulthum ,wow what a voice and presence this singer had ! Wonderful to find both of them resurrected through this song ! So beautifully rendered by Katrina Lenk !

[@ryanfaure3120]

To be honest, at the end of the Tonys I was just like "how is that possible" so I decided to find out... Turns out I understand how this musical won so much Tonys, and how this great woman won the Tony for Leading Actress

[@andiecandie5898]

AHH YES I LOVE THE BANDS VISIT PLEASE DO MORE FROM IT

[@susancassidy2389]

The Egyptian singer's name is spelled Oum Kalthoum. Thanks for the lyrics.

[@Hannah-lr1uc]

[@aiyagilliam9930]

And they won 10 Tony awards!

[@jacobgarofalo635]

This is the song that makes me want the jasmine wind. I want to feel it all like she did.

[@bison-yetistudio2296]

From my point of view one of the greatest songs performed on Broadway.

[@GZDude13]

Wow, that was great.

[@samreszko4073]

Goosebumps Came after the tonys hoky jeez its amaxing

[@russellmonilla4958]

Please add more The Band's Visit :)

[@TheStar1357]

Oh my God!! Where could I find or buy notes of this splendid song? Help! *_*

[@bway_car08]

I would give anything to see this show.

[@lovepeace3041]

I die every time I hear this and I can't hear it enough.

[@Enjolras_24601]

Do you think this would be a good audition song difficulty aside?

[@bettyaberlin6505]

perfection

[@mariacade3498]

Is there an instrumental version anywhere????

[@ckcpiano]

I recorded a piano cover of this song recently. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but I hope it helps in some way.

[@ashidosa]

Maria Cade just look up omar sharif instrumental and youll find it :))

[@kenziekenziekenziekenz]

I love Katrina lenk so much ohmygod

[@Spacecorgi]

I keep switching Umm Kulthum with Dol Guldur in my head.

[@phantomwolfgames5813]

I love this song because it gives a vibe of ratatouille and that was my childhood. And it made a secret I kept since I was 6. It's just the memories that "float on the jasmine wind." Lmao. Ignore what I said.

[@simonreich8829]

Fave

[@sallylee4924]

Anyone else notices that Lenk pronounces the "r" sound very differently in this recording?

[@helenerickson220]

I understand everything now 😂

[@TheSugarRay]

SUBBED. I hope you make it. You are closer than me.

[@Hannah-lr1uc]

TheSugarRay thank you so much :)

[@Hannah-lr1uc]

TheSugarRay I’ve subbed back, keep working at it!
