I have never commented on a video before but this was the most hauntingly beautiful moving rendition of this song. You can see Shoshana tearing up and I could feel what she was feeling in my soul. What a performance!!!!!! I have tears running down my cheek but smiling because it was utterly perfect

[@shoshanabean]

wow thank you!!!!!

[@Kayla_w_l]

@@shoshanabean Yes, Patrick! And I just keep thinking of what tiny Shoshana - in this, her first grown-up play - would think if she could see herself now. ♡

[@SaundersSings]

I’m gonna need an ENTIRE Sondheim album from you. K thanks. Also, JRB. Also, EVERY MUSICAL THEATRE COMPOSER EVER. K thanks. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@M4D4H3]

3.20 “Look, I made a hat” -> 😭 I feel compassion and a sense of sadness listening to this performance. The way you interpret a song... 🤯🔫 BLOWN AWAY!

[@Erzlump]

I also loved that moment. You could see the price that hat came at.

[@TheLindsayPlease]

Wasn't expecting to sob while down a Sunday In The Park With George youtube rabbit hole at 8am, but here we are... Man, Shoshana. I've been trying to explain to my wife why Mandy's version of this song always sends me into tears, but I haven't been able to find a rendition that explained my emotions. Then you came along. Incredible. Thank you.

[@Silvi8a8]

X...

[@suk-waicheong5622]

Been waiting 30+ years for someone to top Mandy on the cast album. Brava, Ms Bean! 💗🎉

[@mikeoneill91]

You have this inhuman ability to involve yourself so deeply in certain pieces of music(well, ALL pieces) and translate that emotion to your audience. Not only is your vocal ability out of this world, but your outward empathy is surreal. A real and true artist, ladies and gentlemen.

[@ifjimmycracks]

She is out of this world. So different than anyone else.

[@mikeoneill91]

ifjimmycracks I’m still not convinced she is a human being,m 😎😅😂

[@ifjimmycracks]

Mike ONeill I know. Exactly!!! KZbin found her for me and knew I needed her.

[@senseofwonder0]

As a painter with a broken heart I thank you for this masterpiece. I hope love surrounds you.

[@markrussell7679]

I’ve watched this dozens of times now. Absolute brilliance.

[@martinascorsone4823]

Such a deep interpretation, such a unique way of communicating...thank you for this incredible version of this masterpiece!

[@asher3416]

This is sooooo goood I love Sondheim so thank you for introducing me to this song!!!!

[@AJKoehler]

This was magnificent. Shoshana really knows how to dig down and truly be present while telling a story. Brava.

[@SilviaLopez-eg9wh]

Ok, so now I need either a genderswapped Sunday in the Park, or a full album of Sondheim songs

[@lesbianete]

the simple power you put into this is almost haunting this is so beautiful

[@amarab8544]

I love how you allow yourself to feel whatever your singing.Weather it be a song from a musical or a song from another recording artist or a song of your own.You allow yourself to get immersed in the music and I give you all the props in the world for that

[@MateoG7788]

Shoshana is pure magic.

[@noahtemple6358]

Beautiful! Just by looking at your eyes and facial expressions, I’d love to know your character studies when you cover these intricate songs!

[@gregstorkwilson2745]

An exercise in minimalism by a master story teller. A true example of less is more and silence is loud.

[@tanikarice6697]

Yessss! I got a Notification that it posted last week and I was sooooo excited! It wouldn't let me watch it then so seeing it now is AMAZING. SHOSHANA BEAN THIS IS SPLENDID! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@normanl.berman775]

Goodness! You're interpretation of this song is glorious. Wow!

[@jameszeller7769]

Wow. What a brilliant crossover concept and another incredible performance from Shoshana. Such a fantastic arrangement with the guitar too.

[@LaurenGuestArt]

I see tears 😢

[@NadineMMedia]

Just brilliant. Best. Rendition. Ever.... Please come to Toronto!

[@forget2120]

Sublime rendition, evocative and nuanced. Would love to hear Shashana sing The Roads you didn't Take from Follies. It's generally sung as almost a dirge but I think Shoshana would embrace the sweetness of the story and the wisdom.

[@thewesternsky]

Stunning. Just stunning.

[@justindavidsullivan]

teaaaars. face full of tears. heart full of warmth. you are effervescent.

[@bradleyspencer8752]

Absolutely brilliant and thank you!

[@_ariellehope_]

this is too much for me i was unprepared for this brilliance

[@larrystuckeyii2238]

We have a female Bobby. Could we get a female George?!? It would bring a whole new light to Dot’s choices. My MIND is BLOWN!!!!

[@carr0760]

While I'm all for reimagining characters, I don't think it could work in this case as Dot is pregnant with George's child. That can't happen if George is a woman. Now... a woman playing George as a man? That could be considered.

No thanks

[@jalexander2802]

This is really beautiful, simple and so emotional

As probably the only person who obsessively listens to both modern jazz and musical theater, I love how you hire folks like Nir Felder and Ruslan Sirota :)))

You're far from the only one, jazz and Broadway are inextricably linked :)

Is this even real? I, too, have never commented on a KZbin video before...but I have watched this now probably 100 times. CanNOT WAIT for the Apollo show. I'll be the one with three boxes of Kleenex.

[@AidanMcDonaldMusic]

Anyone know of a tab/chord sheet for this?

[@LaurenGuestArt]

Can someone tell me what this song is about? Why is my baby crying 😢

[@juicybutterriblydrab]

Famous pointillist painter Georges Seurat laments the breakdown of his relationship with Dot who left him for another due to his obsession with his work. Watch Sunday in the Park with George for a proper understanding, a filmed show of the OBC is on KZbin.

[@LaurenGuestArt]

Pixels Hysteria ah nice! I’m a painter too 😊

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

@@LaurenGuestArt I've watched this several times before, and never noticed that. After reading your comment I paid extra attention and just BARELY noticed it in the last 30 seconds. After replaying it over and over, I LOVE Sho even MORE ... I didn't think that was POSSIBLE.

[@gabby5385]

What key is this in?

[@abbyg9421]

does anyone know what key she does it in???

[@MegansCloudyMorning]

could anyone tell me what key this is in?

I believe this is in Bb major. I think the range is F3-C5 if you wanted to know that too.

What microphone is that?
