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.

[@ceretomer5987]

Her personality is almost as good as her singing. I love both.

[@auspicious93]

I met her last night and she was so nice. She stayed to sign autographs for and take pictures with everyone!

[@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]

[@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!

"Everyone else had like 'They were schoolboys, never held a gun da da da da da' and I had, 'Nothing ever will.'" ................. "AND IN A BED"

[@lavenderrbleu]

I had no idea that Sierra could hit those notes! I just watched the 25th anniversary performance of Phantom, and I was completely blown away! And she's even said that she's not a trained opera singer! She just effortlessly hits that high note...beautiful!

[@RizwanJaganiViolist]

I need a tshirt with "and in a bed" and sierra's facial expression at 1:31 on it.

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

[@madelinebeatlesgirl]

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.❤

[@crazylaugh62401]

"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.

[@kennapalmer1486]

I Just flipped out, her line in Les Mis was 'And in a Bed' and oh my gosh I was in les mis last year and that was my solo and ah! I just love that! I love sierra so much and just we had the same solo as relatively new actors! :D its just fun!

[@alenacobia1167]

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

[@victorianmariner]

I got to meet her this past Saturday! She was so nice and so friendly! It was the most amazing experience!

[@dcon1017]

+LOVERandFIGHTER7285 They are actually going on a North America tour. Can't wait until they come to San Diego or LA

Eh. Love Never Dies is like when a fan fiction of a famous musical, becomes a musical.

But at least it's pretty? lol

[@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.

[@PaulTheillusionist]

Wow! She is so down to earth, and she earned her lead roles after working hard for them in the beginning! She has such an amazing voice!

[@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.

[@thatweirdcatlady]

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

[@sarahsmiles9127]

I had the “and in a bed” solo when I was in Les Mis. We made fun of it so much!

[@jordanoulela8103]

Because of this I always hear "and in a bed!"

[@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.

[@Ada-xv9mx]

I can't believe how much I love this, and that I only just discovered it. IT'S BEEN ON LINE SINCE 2011 AND I COULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING IT FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS!

[@cjkfranco]

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

[@elenawinellcomposer]

Sierra Boggess has such a powerhouse voice with a major upper extension and a full-bodied chest voice that she uses to the fullest and she's not afraid to carry it upward and it's so satisfying in everything she does, especially Phantom...it makes me want to hear her sing opera-proper. She's got serious pipes, would kill to see her in Fille du Regiment or La Sonnambula or Thomas's Hamlet or even Candide or Tosca (might be a stretch for her in Tosca because of the thick orchestration but would still be a damn fine performance!!). Seeing that she's also got a great sense of humor and would be so fun to grab a drink and talk shit with is so heartwarming :D

Sierra is greatly talented, my goodness! If she can hit an E6, I wouldn’t be surprised if she can somehow reach the whistle range. But a soprano is just as impressive. It’s funny because seeing her perform as the formal Christine, it feels a bit strange seeing her interact with her laid back personality and speaking voice ✨
