OBSESSED!: Sierra Boggess in 16 Bars

www.playbill.co... Sierra Boggess, unafraid to leave the house in casual dress, joins Seth for
a brief overview of her career which started with a half-sentence in Les
Misérables. With Seth's help, Boggess features highlights from her roles
in The Phantom of the Opera, The Little Mermaid and Love Never
Dies. Speaking of which, what's happening with the Broadway transfer?
Boggess (tries) to explain.

[@benjaminwambeke9458]

I love how she started with only 2 lines in Les Mis and then went on to play Ariel and Christine Daae. Truly inspirational.

[@emmaaviles226]

Benjamin Wambeke how though 😂 not fair

[@gracieliz95]

And Fantine!

[@rideoutsean]

AND IN A BED

[@HariSeldon913]

Everyone has to start somewhere. Having Les Mis on her resume may have gotten her into one of those auditions.

[@rat5800]

and in a bed~

[@katieo.9629]

I will never stop hearing "And in a bed!" In my head.

[@nevaehhorst-wade5163]

SAME!

[@ValkyrieDaisy95]

Me too xD!

[@kareemabdelhakam3640]

I can't stop hearing not in a bed in my head

[@felipefaraj9004]

And in a bed! Is on your head! Im getting mad! My name is ted! Thats incorrect! My name is not ted! Just call me brad.

[@mistresslangdon2892]

I am the 1Kth liker.

[@raiya4898]

I DID THE "AND IN A BED" SOLO TOO

[@arianacastaluccio-vilani9442]

raiya NO FRICKIN WAY!!! GIRL ME TOO!!!!! ♡♡ (I also went on twice for Eponine(!!!!!!))

[@sw3196]

I was Cosette 💗

[@sierraHAHA...]

let us worship the youtube comment section chemistry these two have

[@alexcraft825]

You have a bright future then

[@kyliee9045]

raiya my older sister did! i was young cosette

[@temqwerty]

The fact that she sings so well, so effortlessly, frightens me.

[@nicolereanlozada7978]

THE WORLD IS UNFAIR

[@dmarcifame1135]

no doubt that she could play with her voice at any time of the day 😂

[@stellapark4579]

The power she holds

[@Mebeingcool]

Sierra Boggess, she is great, she can sing, she can act, she is beautiful, the complete passage. She is the best Chrisrina Daaè. I am a fan of Sierra Boggess.

[@Prickly_G]

I would like to complete her passage.

[@kidkrowtaylor]

She's my fav Christine as well!!!!!!

[@priscillac7410]

the way that this is filmed makes it feel like an episode of The Office.

[@hannahnummer1794]

I love how this video is only funny to Broadway/ theater geeks. I could never show my friends it to make them laugh

[@MarianaGarciaGrijalva]

Same lol

[@seram313]

I know right

[@grobanite4ever85]

hannah nummer I am not a Broadway geek and i thought this was funny.

[@elnora1469]

So true!

[@tata-ep6si]

Same

[@lolalaufeyson472]

I wish I could sing like Sierra. She's one of the reasons I wanna play Christine Daae on Broadway.

[@LOVERandFIGHTER7285]

+Lola Laufeyson SAME (Except I can't sing so I'm striving to play in the orchestra pit on Broadway, preferably for Phantom of the Opera since the music is so amazing) ! Good luck with getting on Broadway :}

[@lolalaufeyson472]

+LOVERandFIGHTER7285 Aw thank you. Good luck with getting in the orchestra. :)

[@TheNextCompanionDW]

+Lola Laufeyson Secretly, me too. But I'm too scared to take vocal lessons :'(

[@lolalaufeyson472]

themillieway I would take voice lessons but I currently have no money. :(

[@TheNextCompanionDW]

:( I'll be thinking of you and hoping you find a way-- I believe it can happen. I'm sorry that this has to hold you back! Don't give up

[@omegacadenza10]

Her laugh is too precious. She's so down to earth and goofy. "I DID GET WRITTEN UP...." She's so goofy and lovely!

[@brookelofton8747]

"Never wear a stain like that before midnight" .. "and in a bed!"

[@vcabrera5396]

You know you've watched this too many times when you can quote the video...

[@seram313]

same it makes me happy I caught myself singing along

[@crazylaugh62401]

sierra saying "yeah" at 4:32 is the purest sound on earth

[@melloncollie8164]

"Love Never Dies should be on Broadway!" Should it Sierra? Should it? I know you like Lord Andy, but should it?

[@TristenSinger]

Mellon Collie yes. It’s good

[@TristenSinger]

yes it should. I saw it live and it was amazing

[@e-9699]

Yes it should

[@zipzapzop6519]

😂😂😂 so accurate

[@GrainneMhaol]

Love Never Dies, but this show died a death. Thank God.

[@leahsleator]

That little reference to Hairspray. "Stupid Bus Crash!" That was my favorite line to say in the entire show😂 Good times.

[@madelinebeatlesgirl]

Leah Sleator It always made the audience laugh so much!!

[@brooklynstott5242]

Her signing voice is so different than her speaking voice. I mean I know most people’s are different, but her singing is so refined, and her speaking voice is not? Idk how to explain that differently. 😅😂 And she low key looks like my aunt. 😅

[@1thomson]

Brooklyn Stott lucky you 😋

[@happyclam1266]

Nice job of slinging shade at her. I loved her in Phantom, but after this video I love her as a person. She's def someone I'd just want to hang out with. And I'll bet you're refined when you fart on a train.

[@brooklynstott5242]

Happy Clam in sorry you felt so inclined to throw shade and be mean, when that wasn’t my intent at all. I was trying to be complementary to her voice but wasn’t sure how. Her voice is unique and I love that. I had heard her first in phantom 25th anniversary where she had a British accent. And it might just be me, but I don’t normally think American when someone has an operatic singing voice like she does. So I was just surprised when I heard her talking. I’m not totally sure what being refined when u fart on a train has to do with anything I had said in my original comment. Have a lovely day. 😊👍

[@politereminder6284]

@@brooklynstott5242 I think you are thinking of accents, not voices. She speaks in a nasally American tone.

[@boundary2580]

Brooklyn Stott American speaking voices don’t tend to correlate with singing voices outside of country and other genres. I’m a bass-baritone with a lot of vibrato, but my natural speaking voice is really southern and really sloppy. I even have a lisp that just disappears whenever I do accents and sing. 🤷‍♂️ I think it has a lot to do with how singers are trained, as we are all taught very early on to modify our voices in order to get more support, and classical singing styles tend to bend towards a more proper and elegant way of articulation. It’s just biology, as that tends to be the safer and more healthy way to sing as opposed to belting a lot. Edit: meanwhile, our normal voices are just the most comfortable way to speak for us.

[@narum.4247]

We definitely need more Videos of Sierra Boggess simple being herself on KZbin.

[@alenacobia1167]

Probably the best audition song I've ever heard in my entire life.

[@rmn1865]

I had the honor and privilege to meet her and Norm Lewis with my young daughter when they played in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. What wonderful human beings.

[@theeditor1149]

She is insanely talented! Sierra fan club member since the weekend after seeing Phantom! She is brilliant. I would watch Phantom all day every day just to hear her sing.❤

[@thatweirdcatlady]

AMAZING! I love how Sierra went from kicking butt with that cadenza to all silly-like with "AND IN A BED".

[@maddier7820]

She’s like the Jennifer Lawrence of Broadway... I love it 😍

[@benjaminlawrence1779]

funny thing i have a friend who looks like both Sierra and Jennifer but i dont think Sierra and Jennifer look alike

[@sallylee4924]

OMG. I keep thinking she looks like someone else but can't think of who...! You're so right!

[@iamcherreymaiya]

They almost have the same tone of speaking voice too.

[@tofudrien5545]

*Showing this to whoever said that she prerecorded the think of me climax*

[@TheBlackLakeSiren]

Those that say that aren't saying she can't do it, but that it's pre-recorded so that she doesn't have to keep singing the note during back to back performances and damage her voice.

[@TheRealityfades]

A lot of the stuff in Phantom is prerecorded, like the overture, the title song, the phantoms laughs during the il muto ballet, but the think of me cadenza is not, at least on Broadway.

[@theonlybuzz1969]

My goodness, she is so beautiful and her voice is beautiful to listen too, I wish them both all the very very best wishes for the future and that they and their families are safe during the recent events.

[@vendyp01]

every once in a while I come back to this video and it brings me the same amount of joy every time

[@xFolkmore]

I'm actually obsessed with her. Her voice is perfection :')

[@thelordjim]

i was 8 in new york when i saw sierra sing in the little mermaid. I loved her not knowing who she was. I am 11 now. last month i saw a movie/ show of her in phantom of the opera, my favorite opera EVER, when i saw her as christine i didnt know it was her. I loved her singing there too. Then I saw this. when she said she was in the little mermaid i renemberd. I ran in my room and got the booklet i got at the play , yes i still had something from 2008. in the back of the book, there it was

[@xenerii]

I love how many people are watching this because of the free online streaming of Phantom of the Opera last week

[@elisabethvdwilt]

Guilty

[@ihatesheep2626]

HOW does she so seamlessly do the phantom riff AHHH

[@RaenaWhite]

Love love love her voice...

[@LaraAkal2014]

I've been watching this video ever since it came out, one of my top favorite OBSESSED!'s. Loooove Sierra and Seth, "and in a bed!" :P

[@queenQueso1]

I love her so much!!!!!!! I wish I was in Paris to see her perform in french

[@meginmd]

I love her! I love the wink after 'love never dies', lol!

[@KhiavDim]

Oh gosh she hits that note so effortlessly!

[@SeikoMeetsWorld]

I am crying at his intro regarding her inappropriate stain. ❤️

[@miloc6507]

I put this video on so I can hear some beautiful background noise while working....but I cant stop looking at this gorgeous gorgeouuusss woman!! *_* you never know how lovely these artists are until they're in an interview !

[@emilycolby3703]

I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY CHILLS FROM ANYTHING BUT THAT HIGH NOTE

[@s3dh3k]

Don't know if I love this because it is so funny, or because when she sings it is so effortless and natural. Sierra Boggess, you are amazing!

[@markhouse578]

Shes 'fantastic & that Voice on The Think of me Aria ending is omg!!! Just wow!!!!!

[@Heyjay454]

I love how down to earth she is and how unassuming And on stage she is just phenomenal

[@stephaniec.4384]

Love her! Makes me laugh

[@Silver54ful]

The song is called Nothing from the show A Chorus Line.

[@Silver54ful]

I saw her on the National Tour as well. She was a joy to watch! So happy to see another fan. :)

[@elizabeth5985]

This is my absolute favorite of ALL of Seth's Obsessed shows. And there are a lot to choose from. I want more people to see it so we can randomly say "....AND in a bed" to each other.

[@fuji_apples9765]

That guy is hilarious 😶😂! Also, got chills when she did Ariel's voice. Wow.

[@KitkatMedina]

That 16 bars song is driving me insaaane 😂

[@shirokisasaki3233]

this is pure gold....so much talent in one video

[@peterbosch8112]

I could listen to her all day long!

[@Wilhelmina_B]

She’s utterly adorable!

[@zoenash1447]

this video will forever be my favorite thing

[@anthonygibson6211]

What a terrific talent and so engaging personally. She is great to watch.

[@Ydh72mye]

She stole the fave spot imidially for me, after seeing her in love never dies I can't help but compare others to her and she is just so.. SO good. Raising the standard for sopranos

[@melmunson07]

Got to see her portray Ariel in "Little Mermaid," Best night of my life!!!!!!!

[@RachelSalvadore]

Never NEVER gets old.

[@katierandom2160]

Favorite video of all time

[@elizinhaazevedo2505]

Sierra Boggess, linda voz maravilhosa merece os aplausos de todos. Soprano lírica é também uma artista completa. É INDISCUTÍVEL a melhor

[@Beefeater911]

Sierra is by far the best Christine Daae ever, in my opinion. I’m still not sure why Andrew Lloyd Webber dubbed Sarah Brightman’s voice over Sierra’s while she and Ramin were in the catwalk on the 25th anniversary edition of Phantom of the Opera.

[@annakopsick1989]

J T waaait what?? She was dubbed?

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

She wasn’t dubbed.

[@cjripley32]

She's so down-to- earth despite being madly talented

[@christinewells-leddon9287]

She is a delight in whatever she does.

[@carolineschmid6887]

I’m rewatching this cause I’m bored in quarantine and this is such a funny video

[@n2i2c2k2y]

THIS IS AMAZING !!!! NOW SHES PLAYING FONTINE IN LONDON LES MIS :) CANT WAIT TO FINALLY SEE IT WITH HER AND TAM :)

[@gothgirlgraveyard3539]

Beautiful. Beautiful voice, beautiful hair, beautiful humour.

[@TheEvilsquiril]

she sang both her solos superbly :P

[@jhc18823]

She's soooo different here than in her Ask a Star. I think Seth just brings out the best in people. Not that she's bad in her Ask a Star, she's just overly peppy and perky. Here she's just hysterical and laid back. I love it.

[@elisiamarie2000]

The zoom in on the stain at the end killed me oml

[@SophieSeaC]

She's just so awesome.

[@TheGeekMonster]

She's so non-diva-ish. Cute, sweet, funny, and brilliantly talented. I wish I could sing with her, just once before I die!!

[@giannamorello7455]

Me too

[@jessicatheginger]

Love her, she's one of my role models! Actually the one who got me back into Broadway shows and Disney movies all at once!

[@112098kaykay]

She is so AMAZING!!! Her voice is beautiful hahaha I wish I could see her live

[@juliaclaregavin]

AND IN A BED!!! I love this so much!

[@pudsey4000]

Saw its last night in London. Could not believe it... went back to the Adelphi on Tuesday to see Sweeney Todd and could not help thinking about LND.... :/ I know how Sierra felt with the solos - in our amateur production of Les Miz, I'm Brujpn (fat shouty guy with Thernadier) and got 'where's that new world now the fighting's done' in turning...

[@graceddavid]

@wrathoflk she never played eponine and she didn't know how to belt at that point (that wasnt until Little Mermaid) BUT she was understudy for Cosette and i LOVE this :D

[@kennanlukacs]

That medley killed me.

[@Creation_Mode]

I love how she did the phantom and her personality seems great too! Like down to earth, not caring about that stain. If I would ever become more known I'd also want to remain the down to earth countrygirl I am, not let the glamour and drama get to me. I'd rather stay authentic , and honest, people are always going to disagree or dislike something so you might as well stay authentic and be like go to hell if you don't like me. Well that's maybe too harsh wording, but you guys get the point 😁

[@sailorsun1311]

Seira if u read this OMG u r lik my #1 fav acter!!!! #2 is tailor laughter.... OMG Phantom of the opera and love never dies are so beautiful, and u hav such a beautiful voice. I watched love nevr dies a trillion times, and cry everytime!! I love ur voice and wish i could be as talented a singer as u someday!!!!!!

[@egamer25]

I first saw Sierra in Vegas as Christine, fell in love with that voice! This is amazing, minus the stain ;-)

[@fishbutler6170]

oh that was delightful

[@amyvocalist]

She is amazing. Her speaking voice is not what I expected though!

[@danceballetacro]

so awesome and u really roasted her about that stain, seth

[@paigebraithwaite3581]

Loved her in phantom of the opera

[@teamrierraforever]

SIERRA BOGGESS IS LIFE.

[@Robert-li4cr]

Sierra Boggess has one of the most beautiful voices on the planet, and she seems like such a sweet person! without a doubt she is Christine

[@georgiajc4941]

Saw her as Fantine in the west end. Definitely an upgrade from "and in a bed".

[@theKarie18]

she's so adorable

[@joextwo]

Geez, even her laugh sounds awesome

[@apeachonahill8059]

The thumbnail is a mood

[@beastiebabytm]

I LITERALLY DID A CRAPPY LOCAL THEATER PRODUCTION OF LES MIZ ONE TIME AND I HAD THAT SAME PART!!!!! I SANG THE SAME ONE LINE! OHMAHLAWD!

[@ElviraSterling]

I love that wink she gives "...up where they say LOVE NEVER DIES"

[@sadiekalyx]

got my high school audition song

[@danilorenzo13]

Loving that medley

[@MrSyrya]

This girl is marvellous, without make up and casual garments with stains is amazing like a princess.

[@thetaraparker]

This is so awesome, I love them both!!!!

[@tww2002]

Personality and Talent. Most enjoyable.

[@megandchristine]

I love watching sierra fool around! Its hilarious when she isn't onstage!

[@thelordjim]

sierra boggess surfaces in brodway's newest hit. My dream is to meet Sierra boggess. I LOVE HER FOREVER!!!

[@franchescaceleste2154]

Sierra is amazing!!!!

[@broadwaymike92]

The day she filmed this was the day I saw her in Master Class. She came out in the stage door wearing that!

[@salkdiaz]

She's so talented.

[@KevinTKeith]

That was just adorable!

[@broadwaymike92]

Sierra is now going back to PHANTOM to reprise the role of Christine on Broadway!!

[@IAccioSnitches]

Er... funniest interview ever?! LOVE HER.
