Why is the pianist playing so loud? should she sing louder? Why does this pianist hate her?

[@RodRadReads]

I really like her, love her voice, acting is great...but I think that pianist hates her.

[@meiji4785]

Her voice is great, but her acting!! HOLY COWW!!!

[@jelena5813]

[@avacapri13]

[@talulahsafir]

And once againnnnnn why am I working so hard?

[@juliahancock9072]

No one in history has ever acted so well with just the top quarter of their body standing so still. I am OBSESSED.

[@pamelaparry422]

This is the best version I've found of this song. Vocally, she hits it all, but it's definitely her acting that helps bring it over the top. So amazing.

[@OhJuicy]

Oh my god your acting is perfect, I just love how increasingly hysterical you get as the rant goes on

[@kaija9035]

[@DallasIDontEven]

She killed that. It is dead. She acted the hell out of that song.

[@LarryDarnellPenn]

Your acting in this shakes me to my core. You can honestly see that you did your homework. Those beats you take!!!! Agh, I can't love this enough! Masterclass

[@raipa111]

I just realized that both theis breaking songs end on an alone standing "at all". Also: She's incredible.

[@laurenpwhitten]

i know that so many of the songs in this are interconnected but i never would have noticed this one on my own omg

[@sadiegallant-holloway7950]

Her voice is amazing and her acting is moving as heck

[@emilyhutcheson8448]

The fact that you can FEEL the emotion she puts into this made it even greater to listen to

[@nikkimilch9957]

I'd love to hear her do Climbing Uphill or Summer in Ohio

[@booksreviewscomedy]

HER ACTING

[@lexschultz822]

[@brookehelmly6926]

[@litcheerose]

She's amazing! Put this girl on Broadway!

[@AmaindeJH]

Good lord, this is wonderful! I agree with all the other comments it's amazing vocally, but this acting is just something totally incredible.

[@Chaidiamond]

I feel like she would make the most wonderful Jenna in Waitress! So immensely skilled!!

[@igorarnaud]

[@kayladelucia3548]

[@SalomitosPM]

I guess I can't believe you really came And that we're sitting on this pier See, I'm smiling That means I'm happy that you're here I stole this sweater from the costume shop It makes me look like Daisy Mae See, we're laughing I think we're gonna be okay I mean, we'll have to try a little harder And bend things to and fro To make this love as special As it was five years ago I mean, you made it to Ohio! Who knows where else we can go? I think you're really gonna like this show I'm pretty sure it doesn't suck See, you're laughing, and I'm smiling By a river in Ohio And you're mine We're doing fine I think we both can see what could be better I'll own when I was wrong With all we've had to go through We'll end up twice as strong And so we'll start again this weekend And just keep rolling along I didn't know you had to go so soon I thought we had a little time Look, whatever, if you have to Then you have to, so whatever It's all right We'll have tonight You know what makes me crazy? I'm sorry, can I say this? You know what makes me nuts? The fact that we could be together here together Sharing our night, spending our time And you are gonna choose someone else to be with no, you are Yes, Jamie, that's exactly what you're doing You could be here with me or be there with them As usual, guess which you pick! No, Jamie, you do not have to go to another party With the same twenty jerks you already know You could stay with your wife on her fucking birthday And you could, God forbid, even see my show And I know in your soul it must drive you crazy That you won't get to play with your little girlfriends No I'm not, no I'm not and the point is, Jamie That you can't spend a single day That's not about you and you and nothing but you Marvelous novelist, you! Isn't he wonderful, just twenty-eight! The savior of writing! You and you and nothing but you Miles and piles of you Pushing through windows and bursting through walls en route to the sky! And I I swear to God I'll never understand How you can stand there, straight and tall And see I'm crying And not do anything at all

[@FloridaGrandma]

Wow. Just..wow..

[@ThisPerfectFinale]

I really enjoyed this! She is an amazing actress/singer! I just wish she made it slightly more vicious. There were moments of it and i could see it in her eyes but i just wish she pushed it that bit more. I think it was a bit whiny and i really wanted to see the anger seethe out! For me this is the song that makes Cathy a wonderful character as its the point she shows the widest range of emotions! But well done! Brava!

[@kayladelucia3548]

i like it. I don't think it was whiney, i think it was more of a helplessness and feeling of defeat

[@elireinhart9421]

I really liked it, I think her acting was on point for a woman getting really upset but trying not to make a scene.

[@amaraforet3466]

The acting in this is better than the movie tbh

[@chloe-vw1uf]

Amara Foret i disagree.

[@chloe-vw1uf]

Amara Foret her acting might be good for large audiences who can’t see her from a far but movie wise this would be way too much

[@callmefem9387]

chloe Exactly! She definitely nailed the acting for a stage musical but the movie musical needed more subtle emotion changes like Anna did

[@Hadimaz]

Amazing

[@laurenpwhitten]

she has the most perfect teeth ive ever seen omg

[@nathanzobel2485]

You are incredible 😍

[@mikeytv56]

Never trust a pianist who goes by three names. Settle down, guy.

[@BobJoeman]

Such as Jason Robert Brown?

[@CourtneyRussRuss]

Lea Michelle and Idina Menzel

[@TheHerothief]

This made me uncomfortable in a good way. Like i interupted a private conversatuon

[@MrPao0104]

Her face reminds me of Courteney Cox.

[@gracelola8897]

... why does this pianist hate me
