MY FAIR LADY - "I Could Have Danced All Night"

[@ruffdog39]

What an amazing voice. She captures the original recording faithfully. You can see her passion when she sings. The things you find when going down the KZbin rabbit hole at night.

[@fernevans4876]

Truly unbelievable voice. Makes me hate today's music even MORE! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@christopherreed4071]

if u could sing like this you would never stop

[@ssncns]

Christopher Reed actually you would because the voice is strained unnaturally

[@hat90phoenix32]

@@ssncns What rubbish. Some people always have to try and put others down, don't they? You're wrong anyway.

[@guidoylosfreaks]

Well... You could end up like Julie Andrews.

[@musicallydisneyamvs6731]

You’re right! Obviously you’d stop to rest and refresh. So you can as long as you’re also smart about it & not have medics ruin it for you. Poor Julie Andrews.

[@RosieG1974]

So, I fell down the rabbit hole of KZbin, and came upon this video. I'm blown away with Lauren Ambrose voice. I didn't know she can sing like this. Applause, applause!!!

[@obi-potobi790]

She bursts into a showtune type song in I think the first ep of Six Feet Under so I knew she could sing coz of that, but this is incredible.

[@lynnthompson4202]

She studied at Tanglewood. Professional opera singer. An an actress. Hallmark.

[@RosieG1974]

@@lynnthompson4202 I know. I love her in Six Feet Under.

[@debbie94510]

The timbre of her voice is sooooo exquisite!!!!

[@donaldtowey5583]

Wow, such crystal clarity singing - a real treat

[@marcsongini091165]

It's like seeing your younger sister transform into a nightingale....BRAVO

[@keikekaze]

As near to perfection as reality can get.

[@graceweber2822]

What can I say but WOW what a voice.

[@markmarderosian4025]

Growing up, money was tight so my parents owned a grand total of 12 LPs. One was the soundtrack to this play with Rex and Julie. Mom played it endlessly. I'm no expert but I so like this version and this person singing it. I disagree with the commentator who said she performed it like a dirge. Frankly, I like this interpretation way better than the endless bubbliness in the film version. Ms. Ambrose brought a longing to the song I hadn't realized could exist. A longing that such an experience would continue and not have this be the end. Bravo. Will listen again and again.

[@lorettalane7391]

Mark Marderosian She was terrific in person, too. It was a wonderful show.

[@johnpickford4222]

Mark Marderosian: Your had the ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST if Julie Andrews was included, OR, the ORIGINAL LONDON CAST (in stereo). The soundtrack with a few bits ‘n pieces of Audrey Hepburn had her vocals replaced by Marni Nixon and too well, but that was a production issue. Hearing Hepburn’s own vocals is interesting because she has more lift and personality. It’s not that Nixon was poor-of course not-but Warner Bros. didn’t put the work in behind the scenes that 20th Century Fox did when Nixon dubbed Deborah Kerr in THE KING AND I.

[@squeeks40]

AMEN. This is on another level.

[@SopranoHKKim]

I Lover Lauren Ambrose rendition of this song... plus her diction too! perfection. I can tell she did put tremendous effort into this... so beautiful brava!!

[@brianeduardo1234]

love seeing these recording sessions... the musicians the conductors.. the performers endlessly fascinating

[@stephaniezimbalist3757]

Me too. I like the Newsies one and the Bridges of Madison County ones; but my current favorite is the recording session of Alex Newell singing Mama Will Provide. Not many people can sing as both genders. It's bonkers.

[@artieoliverio4124]

Watch Kelli O'Hara she is very animated in the studio and a fantastic Voice

[@wolf4811]

the maids did really well! so precise!

[@bobzeschin3154]

Could someone identify them? I went to the website to see who played the first of them to sing, but all the photos were glammed up headshots, and I couldn't be sure which one of the actresses she was.

[@henryuy1680]

We miss such kind of beautiful music these days! Hope we can go back to have more chance to watch more of these wonderful classical performances.

[@adriannalypeckyj2513]

Oh...what a dream to be in a recording booth singing to a live orchestra. A singers dream come true. "I Could Have Danced All Night" from "My Fair Lady" is one of the best songs in musical theater. Love singing this song! WOW....awesome job by Lauren Ambrose, her backup singers, conductor and orchestra. Such enormous talent!

[@rickywigmore1438]

Such a powerful voice from such a petite frame .

[@MamaJacqueroo]

Smashing voice, Lauren Ambrose!

[@lukethomas658]

I've seen clips of Lauren singing with her jazz band which were good, but I had no idea she was capable of this style. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@rocuall]

she is classically trained in Opera

[@loutimmons3099]

Brilliant. Who knew? Who knew Lauren Ambrose had this talent? WOW!

[@theatrain1323]

Bartlett Sher knew. He was going to do Funny Girl with Lauren, but it fell through. Said that she was his Eliza all along despite many auditions. From Wikipedia: "A revival directed by Bartlett Sher had been announced to premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in January 2012[13] with Lauren Ambrose starring as Fanny Brice and Bobby Cannavale as Nicky Arnstein,[14] and then open on Broadway in April 2012.[15] However, on November 3, 2011, producer Bob Boyett announced that this production has been postponed. He said "We have made the extremely difficult decision today to postpone our production of Funny Girl." Long postponement.

[@toddburton6570]

OK, stop. Hold on. Wait a minute. Re-set. That is Lauren Ambrose? I am gobsmacked. Simply amazing... I knew her from "Six Feet Under," (which was a great production, by the way,) but I had no idea about this. Phenomenal...

[@dianeraucher7100]

She had one scene on Six Feet Under and I was amazed. She is a classically trained opera singer ❤

[@JKatPoinciana]

Bravo! Very nice voice. Lauren Ambrose is so good. For a while, I thought it was Julie Andrews singing.

[@johnpickford4222]

J KinFL: Or Marni Nixon singing in the film!

[@macrent2]

I only knew of Lauren Ambrose from Six Feet Under. When I heard her sing this on The Tony Awards, my jaw hit the floor. Brava!

[@crystalynnbearr]

I’ve always been a big fan of Six Feet Under, Claire is a favorite character ever. ❤ I’m currently watching Servant and read that Lauren is also an opera singer. Like WOW this woman is amazing!

[@billbrimmer1739]

Her vibrancy and concentration are simply marvelous. Bravo Lauren!

[@luizamsalgado]

She is simply wonderful, that's what she is ! Sicere, honest, brilliant, a sensation

[@winstonllamas5163]

I hope Lincoln Center has recorded the whole revival with Lauren Ambrose and puts it on blu ray for all of us to enjoy. She is an amazingly talented performer. The whole cast was stellar. And the touring cast, with Shereen Ahmed and Lair Macintosh, is amazing. So amazing I saw it twice in D.C. and even that wasn't enough times to see it. A timeless musical with great performances. What can be better?

[@ALousyGolfer1]

I just saw the musical yesterday in San Francisco. The touring cast with Sheree Ahmed and Laird Mackintosh were wonderful!

She might indulge us, if she gets committed (in the show)... :)

[@pattylow1]

I never really liked this song UNTIL now. Watching and listening to Lauren Ambrose sing this song brought tears to my eyes. She brings a vibrancy to this song that is hard to explain. Maybe it's how she enunciates dan-ced but I find myself listening to this video over and over again. Bravo Lauren Ambrose!

Eh? This is Lauren Ambrose, highly acclaimed TV actress and not that young of a lady anymore.

[@richardmayora1289]

You must be joking. And I can tell you did not actually see the show. She was just awful but her singing did improve. She had as much charm as a cactus.

[@SDoesNotKnow]

@@richardmayora1289 I don't think you saw the show actually. You're just regurgitating a lot of the noise her haters have said or you did see the show and didn't understand the direction or her portrayal at her. Why don't you let people enjoy what their eyes and ears are seeing in this video and go stew in your bitter hate somewhere else.

[@dancochran1263]

When I was in elementary school my widowed mom was a lingerie buyer for Maison Blanche in New Orleans. So when she'd go to New York to see the manufacturers sometimes she'd take me along. The manufacturers of course comped the buyers and of course Broadway tickets were a big hit. So when I was six years old I got to see the original Broadway production with Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison. It's really become the soundtrack for my life!

[@Osusanjane]

Maison Blanche...wow. "Jingle, jangle, jingle...here comes Mr. Bingle..."
