there will never come a day i don’t watch this fifty times

At LEAST!! 😂

Man in Chair is the greatest character in musical theater history..... and he is totally ME!

[@grantvanier6545]

This can’t be a bootleg. The quality is amazing.

[@Erzlump]

What I wouldn't give for a pro-shot or a good movie adaptation!

[@mckenna8663]

I think it was from an award show... but I can't remember. I remember seeing it but can't recall when.

[@AbiS1018]

can we just appreciate how gorgeous sutton is. the costumes are amazing too!

[@justmarmite9650]

YES.

[@keyonwoodswjj387]

5:15 don’t you love when trombones do that in musical theatre? Mixed with the timpani? Chills every time.

It's the little flex of her hand on that last beat for me

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

That kind of thing is what makes a star.

[@ciaranhagghaggerty326]

Yes!

[@guy1019]

Everyone else: Is a singer, actor or really likes the show. Me: WTF WHY ARE THERE 6 SHARPS AND 50 ACCIDENTALS IN ONE MEASURE! How the hell am I supposed to play this!?!

[@macycardwell6285]

@@guy1019 rip to you honestly. I've never dared try to play this song but I probably couldn't if I tried 😂

[@guy1019]

@@macycardwell6285 lol. Because we're doing the original Broadway music that goes with it it's 1. Professional level music (I'm not a professional) 2. I switch between clarinet, alto saxophone, and soprano saxophone in multiple songs. 3. Practice I guess lol

[@justjoanne7796]

Those Sutton vocals are flawless as usual!

Glad to hear it---keep watching!

[@conortague5410]

My high school did The Drowsy Chaperone for its fall musical during my freshman year. On the day of our last performance, Bob Martin and Lisa Lambert were special guests and we had a Q&A with both of them before we started the show. They were both so kind.

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Lovely story, thanks.

This may be my favorite video yet. On KZbin. Ever. But enough with the hyperbole, I just love that little show!

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Thanks for the extraordinarily enthusiastic comment!

[@MrEgerman]

For me nothing can beat the clip of Beth Leavel and Bob Martin on the roof. Still one of my absolute favorite shows. And a dynamite clip in its own right!

[@_misnoma_]

@@MrEgerman link please?

[@Luchino]

Parodies Benjamin Stone having a breakdown, center stage in “ Follies,” and Mama Rose, similarly breaking down, in “ Gypsy.” Surely one of the campiest moments in the history of American musical theatre.

[@pennychristopoulos4944]

I love this musical so much. I'll never forget Jonathan Crombie's face when he said Sutton Foster is amazing. His face lit up and it was late at night but his adoration was real. Just like me, we loved this show so much and Sutton Foster too! I loved Jonathan as the Man in the Chair. I was a little sad though that Bob Martin didn't surprise us when the show was on tour in San Francisco. Janet just had their handsome baby boy so I had to accept that he couldn't tear himself away from him. It is just so entertaining. A great soundtrack. The entire New York cast was fantastic. I only wish we could buy a copy of the show on DVD. My granddaughter and I loved to sing, "I Don't Want to Show Off!"

[@MikeA15206]

I saw her in this and she was is phenominal - and I know some people who know her and they all say she is as sweet as she can be.

“Glottal”??Do you mean her audible intake of air before the belt? Or the way she starts the vowel for “ape”? Not sure what you’re referring to

[@dignature123]

@@bryanmartin5901 hi random person that needs further explanation... I’m referring to her hard glottal onset on the word ape which would tear my throat up and somehow she did that 8 shows a week.
