‘The Boy From…’ - Janie Dee

[@samosullivan1744]

I saw her perform this live. Myself and everyone around me could NOT keep it together!!🤣🤣 Truly deserves to be recognised as one of the greatest Sondheim interpreters!

[@CHUNKYSLYDER]

I saw her last night and this was the first time hearing the song! Such a great number and genius song writing

[@leefriedman3067]

omg the audience went wild...saw old friends last week

[@TheSlinkyinky]

I had pleasure of seeing her perform this on Thursday at 'Old Friends' Stephen Sondheim at The Gielgud. Utter bliss! Its a theatre fan must ;o) The show was outstanding and Janie was superb!! Bravo ;o) x

[@jamieh1974]

The facial expressions, the diction, that smile - the best version I've seen of this - and what a stylish English lady - thank you

[@KillDevon]

Truly ❤

[@RussellLinney]

Saw Janie perform this last weekend in Old Friends - absolutely superb!

[@jonitufarr]

Obsessed that we all saw her do this at Old Friends and went searching for it

[@beckylewis8054]

I love that! This deserves to be seen by all the people 😂

[@playgirlc]

same!

[@FTFFF]

She's really extraordinary - a total delight. Best version of this song I've ever heard.

[@JamesChurchCabaret]

Janie's stunning rendition is a masterclass in acting through song! What a classy performance! I also adore the new orchestration :-)

[@rafaelloggia]

Love this rendition! Heard the song for the first time when I saw her sing it in the Gielgud Theatre recently. Amazing performance! Especially with the "Wales" punchline. Couldn't stop laughing!

[@zaneflores648]

Saw Old Friends last night , still cant get over the show . She cracks me up 😅

[@KillDevon]

That pause at WALES had me dead haha

[@tommoncrieff1154]

It’s possibly odd to say that she stays in tempo throughout yet her halting timing is unique and absolutely hilarious. If ever someone sold a lyric it was here. I think this is the best version of this I’ve seen. Or heard!

[@Blackwish92]

I agree with the other comments...the audience absolutely loved her 😄♥️

[@tkhaskin]

That was absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!

[@septentrionalem]

Hands down the funniest part of the show. My sister and I couldn't stop giggling for the entire song when we watched her live in London a few weeks ago lol

[@rr7firefly]

Tomorrow he sails He's moving to Wales To live in Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­dysilio­gogo­goch Och! Janie Dee hit a home run and brought in 3 players on first, second and third. Stellar performance.

[@playgirlc]

just for that.....

[@jamiemacdonald3569]

stunning stunning

[@beckylewis8054]

The Queen of facial expressions 😂 I love her, this is absolutely brilliant!

[@valdi7777]

Exquisite

[@maryscholz1936]

Thank you so much .❤

[@johnozed]

brilliant and hilarious

[@valeriehill349]

Hilarious Janie.❤xxVal

[@afroditav]

from which play is that song??

[@Blackwish92]

from The Mad Show

[@Gnostic72]

The backdrop saying “BRAZIL” is WRONG (I understand it’s a parody of Brazilian composer Antonio Jobim) BUT in the lyric it says “Spanish”. Brazilians speak PORTUGUESE not SPANISH. My minor quibble.

[@playgirlc]

people from spain go to brazil though, i'm sure

[@playgirlc]

also saw her singing this at the gielgud in 2023, front row centre :) apart from bernadette peters just basically being present and a few meters in front of me, this was the (unexpected) highlight of the show for me. special mention for bonnie langford, who was wonderful, too). janie saw me give her the 👌 sign.... which i'm sure registers very low on her worthy compliments scale, but that's how i felt! :)
