Stephanie J. Block sings Scott Alan's NEVER NEVERLAND (FLY AWAY) - Live @ Birdland

[@ricmic1008]

Stephanie J Block is one of Broadway's crown jewels.. One of Broadway's Best not so kept secret secret.. I could listen her sing pages out of the phone book and enjoy it as though she was singing something straight out of any of the best Broadway musical's!!! she is on my list of people I want to meet or better yet someone I'd to work with.. I run lights or sound or both, stage manage.. That would be just about the best thing that could happen to me!!!

[@mikaelacash3791]

I would literally die if Stephanie j. Block called me and sang Defying Gravity for me over the phone! No, seriously, she has got to be the most incredible singer and actress in the history of Broadway (In my personal opinion)!

[@mirandawessel1538]

That would be nice for you, Mikeala. She is after all your favorite singer and actress....she looks beautiful....way more beautiful than Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj....both unlady like! She has to be the beautiful and wonderful actress because she looks beautiful and looks wonderful!

[@Alwayzsketching]

"i gotta be in it to win it cause Shoshana set me up that way" LOL these women are amazing singers and have amazing personalities. And these songs are simply wonderful. I have watched every single video from this show. Thank you Scott.

[@bwaycraz3d84]

I'm so glad I had to opportunity to see her in Wicked and 9 to 5. Now I have her autograph, a picture of me with her, and her first solo CD, along with all the cast recordings she's on. I can't wait to see where she lands next!

[@bway_car08]

"I gotta be in it to win cause Shoshana set me up that way!" lol I love her so much

[@johndriscoll1568]

Probably the most underrated singers ever, She is Incredible,

[@babybl1115]

so i recently performed in my last dance recital, and we transformed peter pan into a ballet. i had the honor to play peter pan, and this song really spoke to me. now, whenever i hear this song, i think about my wonderful time playing the crazy boy who will never grow up.

[@nygypsy318]

This is actually one of my very favorite songs (I have a Peter Pan/Neverland/never-wanna-grow up thing myself), and I was introduced to it when I stumbled on Stephanie singing it... who knows where anymore. I'm definitely doing my part in spreading the word of its greatness!

[@aoifemahood9061]

Wow, reading the back story of this song gave me goosebumps!! Stephanie J Block is one of the best performers I have ever had the privilege of seeing live. No doubt about it.

[@BroadwayGirl826]

This is such a beautiful song! Ever since I was 5 years old, I've always loved the Broadway version of Peter Pan so this is a really touching song for me. I absolutely love Sho and Stephanie! They are both so amazing!

[@geothevanni]

I just saw her in 9 to 5 in LA! She brought the house down when she sang "Get Out and Stay Out." She makes it seem so effortless.

[@KateAplingtonRoberge]

Can't get any better than Sho and SJB together in one video. Scott you are amazing!!!

[@NeilDolanDance]

I've been obsessed with this video for years...it never fails to make me happy x

[@ricmichaels3040]

Amazing.! This woman can sing with the best of them.! She just gets better with every song she sings. Just WOW 😳.! WOW.!

[@vampirechunks]

Shoshana and Stephanie-- my top two Elphabas ever? Good gracious. This is like some fantastically wonderful dream... except everyone still has their clothes on. =P Seriously though, the song is beautiful. Stephanie sings it with her usual powerhouse of heart and soul. Completely reminds me why I'm so hopelessly smitten with her. Loved it! A+

[@kelbo1rox2your3sox]

I'd already favorited this even before Stephanie came onstage--Shoshana was that awesome. But this...yes, it certainly turned out to be one of THOSE videos. When you wish you could just favorite it over and over and over! Sho wasn't kidding; Stephanie gave it her all and probably WOULD have continued to be incredible if somebody died. Died from awesome intake. Cheesy comment. But I'm just in awe. Mesmerizing performance. Brilliant introduction. xD

[@entertainer1987]

What I really enjoy about her performances is that she tells a story when she sings. She's a very gifted woman.

[@00soccergirl00]

oh my GOSH. the music is brilliant SJB is brilliant, EVERYTHING! the cello and the violin part is beautiful.

[@WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

Love the backstory!!

[@Peterpan088]

yeah, i was there too. wow. total mind blow. we could've seen each other and not even known. i hope you enjoyed it sir. yes.

[@kellypuppy]

I bought the CD last night and was blown away by both Home and Never Neverland. The ladies both have such pure voices.

[@haleygrace1]

I love how Shoshana's whole introduction is I was gonna say this, and then I was gonna say that, and it becomes her whole speech. Funny and cool. :)

[@sweetp311850]

SJB is my inspiration as a performer! And its true...I have seen four Elphabas, including Idina, and all were amazing...but SJB was far and above the others...she OWNED the role as if it was her own- which it was, before "the business" got in the way. I'm glad she got her chance later on because she was incredible- she brought me to tears like no other actress could as Elphaba. She is so brilliant, and so classy.

[@reginaphalange239]

shoshana speaks the truth, because watching this is so much more amazing than just hearing it, and now i love stephanie j. block =)

[@zuzupetals1999]

I've been watching this video for two months and it still blows me away. Stephanie is the greatest.

[@prueincowra]

I actually get excited every time I hear or watch her sing this song, and by the way, thanks, Scott, for the beautiful backstory on this vid!

[@sofronio]

INCREDIBLE... INCREDIBLE... INCREDIBLE... Song and singer... *picking up jaw from floor*

[@zuzupetals1999]

She looks so different when she's not green, but the beautiful voice still remains. She will always be Elphaba to me and she has the most wonderful voice i've ever heard.

[@VivaLaTheatre]

I love that Stephanie walked out all chatty and happy from her introduction but had a moment of visual theatrical silence before she sings. Then she completely owned it and left it all out there as promised! Do I hear a Tony? :D

[@AllieMarshallMusic]

Just stumbled across this and I'm so, so incredibly happy I did.

[@jottamartins]

lyrics and melody finally seem to come together when performed by Stephanie. simply beautiful

[@elphielover247]

I sang this in a talent show and I won! I knew it would it's fabulous.

[@charmed71]

i love the banter between the two of them in the beginning. I love Stephanie's voice. It is amazing.

[@legallywicked16]

omg i was lauginin so hard at it i was like wait a secondddd they are both my favoritess =D

[@ilooooooovewicked]

MY FAVORITE SONG EVER!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!! You go Stephanie!!! Scott Alan you are a crazy amazing writter! I keep saying the word amazing, but i don't know of another word that can describe your amazingness! ::bows down:: Lol! =-)

[@Nick83115]

This is phenomenal!

[@sopranootano18]

every time i listen to this it makes me happy =D

[@Sab6888]

gives me chills and makes me tear up pretty much every time i watch it.

[@swheels7970]

This is my favorite song of yours. So visceral and I understand exactly what it’s like to want to fly away as a kid. Amazing.

[@setapartgabi]

such a fantastic song and every time i've heard stephanie sing it i've had to stop and just listen because it's too too wonderful!:)

[@Peterpan088]

simply amazing. She was awesome in 9 to 5. Her, Allison and Megan were perfect together! If you have the chance, go and see it.

[@p3fan09]

i started to cry during this!!! i've never had a song hit me that hard like this did! i'm still kinda cryin lol

[@bwaycraz3d84]

I love this song so so so much...

[@sosalala09]

Fantastic song and performance! I love it!

[@MikaylaCoxe]

[@MrEricrockinout]

Scott, Please write for SJB again. You guys are magic together.. Or just have her sing MAGIC. DAMN I JUST LOVE HER! AND YOU!

[@chadpcampbell]

[@misskit123]

Hehe!! I love Sho's little story at the start!!! And Steph's singing, of course!

[@SimG_Director]

She's doing her own London Concert at the end of the month at the New Players Theatre!

[@aly070]

[@pabloluisperez5265]

blockhead29 yeah, she can just slip into characters it’s crazy

[@ginohhh]

God, Shoshana, that was the best intro ever.

[@Siobhanxo95]

[@JoStockton]

[@JosephC23]

[@Blinglover]

Gosh - for the first half I would have sworn I was listening to Jodi Benson. Both are great. Love Stephanie. I know someone who was also in the workshop for Wicked. There are no guarantees.

[@U2Bwatcher]

What I would have given to see Stephanie J. Block singing DG on the streets of New York on her phone singing to Shoshana Bean.

[@MamaMaryEllensBlog]

Scott your so amazing!!! you have the most wonderful talent!! I just bought this CD yesterday!! I love it!! I have already put a scratch in it from listening to it so much!!! hahahah PS I loves me some SJB :)

[@KelliSings]

[@pabloluisperez5265]

Kelli Sings same, but saw them on tour, the original tour with Meghan Hillty

[@NaomiPoy]

omg wooooooow :O:O cant WAIT for this album xx

[@canaldajulia519]

She'd tell me about Captain, and all of his men Who followed Peter with a hook, replaced as his hand In those tales bad guys seldom did win So the Captain was eaten, and Wendy had twins That's the stories I recall But I may have made up the end Don't remember much At three feet tall Except for when I'd say "Mom Let me go to Never Neverland Let me fly for one day Throw that fairy dust in my hair So I pretend I'm flying away" I'm flying away Well, to my surprise I grew up too fast And that easy life of Tinkerbell, it never did last So I'd silently dream my soul far, far away Where I can be immortalised like Peter one day That's my childhood as I recall But in some ways it never did end And now I'm standing, well, a little bit taller Except when I'd say "Mom! Let me go to Never Neverland Let me fly for one day Throw that fairy dust in my hair So I pretend I'm flying away" I'm flying away And though life is never easy As we, as children, read in the books Where fairy dust can just fly you so far away And all I ask is that you Leave me my imagination So I can pretend I'm flying away I'm flying away! And that is where I'll stay Right there in Never Neverland I'll be flying I'll be dying For love, appreciation Where mermaids would sing And fairies would ring Right there, there in Never Neverland And it's second to the left and straight on 'til morning Or is it second to the right and straight on 'til morning? In Never Neverland In my Never Neverland Traduzir para o português

[@derogatony]

Shoshana's intro is classic.

[@elphalindagirl]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! is there a backtrack to it? i'd like to do it for my schools small ensembles night shoshana bean and stephanie j block are awesome!! (so is who ever wrote this song!!!)

[@CardboardCreative]

Yes, SJB, it *is* second to the left. Straight into my pants... This woman is a paragon of vocal talent and control. And, plus, Shoshana Bean in the video means the lulz are abound.

[@notpropertyadream]

still flying :-) ooo

[@elphielover247]

[@misskit123]

I love Steph!! And Sho's introduction is so funny! Also, why are you all talking about Kerry?!

PS FYI I jam this blaring it SINGING ALONG down the freeway LOL .. im sure people think im a crackhead singing about peter pan!! LOL LOves ya scott!!!

[@haleygrace1]

When was Stephanie in the Wicked Workshops? Idina was in them in 2001 and in the previews and originated the role on Broadway. People always seem confused about this.

[@pabloluisperez5265]

haleygrace1 Idina was in the previews for marketing before opening and during the beginning of the run for the show. SJB was supposed to be the original Elphaba on Broadway, but they chose to replace SJB with Idina because she had been nominated for a Tony = More people coming to watch. They gave SJB the Original Touring Company instead because SJB did the workshop of the show- A LOT of effort. Workshop meaning she was in the production aspect, like in movies, the making of, helping with the songs etc. I saw the Original Touring Company with SJB, her husband Sebastian, and Meghan Hilty.

[@zuzupetals1999]

Steven Shwartz wrote all of the music for Steph. She was the first Elphaba. When Universal Pictures became the major sponsor, they wanted a known performer in the lead role. Idina had just been nominated for "Rent" so she replaced Steph. Stephanie did all of the original workshops.

[@fashonista2512]

I love this song!!!!!!!!! ABOUT PETER PAN...Now i know my Neverland is in my HEART......

[@Man-ef3rl]

god damn!!!!

[@sobeit42]

wow

[@pipaluk792]

SJB for London sometime! We lent Amercia Kerry!

[@beautiful0soul]

i completely agree. although i do think that idina is an amazing performer in her own right as well. but in my opinion steph is really just amazing and yeah...in a league of her own.

[@elphielover247]

lol me too!

[@gummibaren]

GO SJB!

[@Alwayzsketching]
