Wise words from Renee 🙌🙌🙌
I was wondering why we didn't see anyone from the RENT in the Sunday scene, and it makes sense that it might be too difficult emotionally.
Wow! Perseverance. Hope this opens more doors for her!
donna❤
Donna’s Dolly is the superior version
🙏 promo sm
oooh, would love a Light in the Piazza revival
In no point of it. Did she say that dove and arron were muted. All I heard was her and couldnt hear them two at all throughout the whole interview as they were on mute
No idea what you are talking about
i think your headphones or pc are broken
if you're using headphones, the interviewer is in the right ear and Dove + Aaron are in the left
Dove’s Sally Bowles or rather “Jenny” is clearly the film version and not the stage version where Sally is English. Dove is brilliantly and hilariously doing a take on Liza’s American Sally.
I want Next to Normal film musical
its in pre production i think!!
He discovered a new love
I met Sierra Boggess and she was WONDERFUL! As soon as she realised how pleased I was at her performance (in 'Love Never Dies' - i'd seen it from the front row 4 times) and how thrilled i was to meet her, she jumped on me with an enormous hug and i kissed her hair. I love her as a person and i love her voice, and 1 of only a few reasons why i got hold of a genuine 'Barbra Streisand' autograph, was because of Sierra's love for Barbra's music!😀

Why is there no "trouble" at all in River City? Just mugging and happy "we are in a hit" hoofing! Mr Choreographer, there is a story here which YOU must be telling. Especially in the "Trouble" number. This is the key for the story which Mr Wilson so carefully wrote. And you are just doing your moves. Irresponsibly poor work.
Absolutely LOVED her as Graziella!! So glad that beefed up her role more than in the original! And, she was partnered up with one of my all-time favorite actors, Mike Faist!! They were PERFECTION!!
It's amazing how these actresses look so much older in the TV series. They are not that old. They are young. Incredible!!!
What an excellent, natural interview. It was a treat to hear these women. Thank you.
♥️ ♥️
I love both of those ladies so much on The Guilded Age! Outstanding in their roles.
YES! Indeed! Here's to season two.
Both actresses are so young and beautiful.
Good compliment!
Omg i love them both 💚💚
doesn't everyone?
A haunting image from WSS was Grazie's pounding on the door screaming for the Jets to stop what they were doing *spoiler*
it really is. Remember the teaser at the Oscars last year?
Just came across this channel. Well done Leigh! I’m going to need Donna to get out of her closet for Zoom interviews though. lol
I think she lives in the city so that is probably her office lol
Thank you Renee! I think it's her hallway.
I watched WSS 8 times since December. I love Graziella's winning smile when she dances. I love the vibrance and the energy of the Dance at the Gym. I love when she says: I want to dance goddam it and yells at Riff. Also the crucial scene with Anita. This character has more development. I truly admire Paloma's acting. It really enhances the story line. Thank You Paloma for sharing behind the scenes experiences.
Yes, thank you!
I heard Morgan Spector in an HBO interview saying "It was a joy humbling divas of Broadway that have won so many Tonys!" Having seen both ladies on Broadway and now seeing them both together on the TV is a delicious treat!
Isn't it?
Ok. So who do we have to talk to/kickstarter that we have to set up to make Andrew’s Sunday in the Park with George a reality? Mr. Lapine? Can someone please make this come true? If you need a Dot/Marie, I’d gladly throw my hat in the ring!
He was so brilliant in this movie. Congratulations on the Oscar nomination. Very well deserved. ❤️
My dream role!!!
Yes.
Love Hearing This!!!
Bobby in “Company”, please.
Yesss 😭
What’s the interviewer name?
he would be fantastic in sunday!! would love to see him in something like next to normal as well!!
maybe on day!
Those are my two all time favourite musicals. I was thinking LITERALLY yesterday about how I would love to see him take on these roles and today I bump into this video and this comment, wow 😄
Sunday in the Park yes!!!! Do it!
I love this perspective from Anthony. I met him a few years ago, what an amazing man & I'm sure he got his acting advice from Jonathan (RIP!) Tick Tick BOOM! IS AMAZING, but in my mind *EVERYTHING IS RENT!!!!!!!*
I thought it was too. thanks for sharing
Love this interview. Love all of her stories. 👍
amazing thank you
The questions were good but their answers were better! Love for Ari and Paloma!
They are truly amazing and their friendship is absolutely adorable and I’m so proud of these two queens! ❤️👑🥰
thank you! They were great! So glad you tuned in.
@@hamiltonslegacy Isn't it???
This is so wholesome!! Thank you!
Of course! Glad you could enjoy the conversation
Andrew Garfield is one of greatest talents of his generation with limitless abilities. No doubt that he will master Sondheim and do justice to the master’s work, assuring it will be passed on to the next generation.
P TOWN FOREVER!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just seen the movie. Rachel is incredible, a real star! Love the movie!
Yes!
She’s so well spoken , especially for her first movie press
I know! What a pro.
What a beautifully eloquent person. I have grown such a soft spot for this girl. So happy to see her star rise.
She definitely is.
M
I know Nicole Scherzinger , from The Pussycat Dolls Girl's Group , so I was shocked when I found that she is playing Grace Ferral , in the new Annie Live 2021 musical.
Me too
@@kathrynnpetersen8876 Oh ,cool she is a very talented young woman.
OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS HER. SHE DID SO WELL IN THE BROADWAY
@@kaela420 Yep,she sure did.
Nicole is so beautiful and amazing talented she can do it she got a lovely voice 🎤🎶🎵🌟✨ 💗 🌺
Andrew Garfield is a magical beast. loooove him in 'tick, tick... BOOM!'. and how he still looks like 23 when he's actually 38 is an enigma to me.
I was looking for Anthony Rapp in the Movie. I was surprised he didn't have a Cameo.
I mean technically he was in the beginning
perhaps his response here might explain why
@@tylerh106 good point!
He was filming Star Trek Discovery up in Toronto at the same time they were filming. I imagine Lin would have wanted him in the Sunday scene but with the 2 week quarantine period I guess it wouldn't have worked.
Would be a great tribute to Jonathan Larson if Superbia could be completed for stage and film.
I love you, Anthony. You inspire me endlessly. Thank you.
🥰🥰🥰
