    How in the entire fuck does she do it???? These are lyrics everyone seeing this (both here and in that audience) has heard 100s of times before.... and I am laughing as if it's the first time! This woman is a GD genius. Man, I wish she'd come back to Broadway.

      I yield to no one my love for Angela Lansbury but Ms Baranski gets mileage out of Mrs Lovett that even she overlooked. There are details in this rendition of Mr Sondheim's delicious song I never noticed until now.

    She’s so great! And in a way what she’s doing is unexpected and I guess what I mean by that is she doesn’t seem like Christine Baranski playing Mrs. Lovett she just seems like Mrs. love it! If that makes any sense? I also love how she switches from her chest to head voice to a more mixed, breathy register It’s more seamless than the wonderful Dame Lansbury‘s. The blocking/musical staging really mined the comedy for this and I love it!

  • @MM-cy1tc

    I like her version the best. There is just the right amount of comedy and tragedy! You laugh and you feel for her!

    • @smurf902

      She's MILES ABOVE this Annaleigh bozo we have now on Broadway. She keeps her voice the exact same the same way through, like someone in an audition trying to sing it completely even voiced and boring

  • @michaelderwin381
    @michaelderwin381 Před rokem +15

    What an amazing performance this is! She is completely in character throughout the entire song and honestly she sings circles around Patti Lupone and Angela Lansbury, seamlessly moving from a gutsy chest voice to brassy mixed voice to lovely head voice.

    • @joshbenda351
      @joshbenda351 Před 3 měsíci +1

      I agree - and I saw the original Broadway production with Angela Lansbury... The jokes and double entendres go by so fast, but Baranski gets across several that the other actresses miss - character, voice, diction, timing - I am very impressed! And yes, I laughed out loud even though I know the show....

    A customer!
    Wait! What's your rush?
    What's your hurry?
    You gave me such a...
    fright! I thought you was a ghost!
    Half a minute, can't ya sit?
    Sit ya down!
    Sit!
    All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks.
    Did ya come here for a pie, sir?
    Do forgive me if my head's a little vague.
    Ugh!
    What is that?
    But you'd think we had the plague.
    From the way that people
    keep avoiding!
    No you don't!
    Heaven knows I try, sir!
    But there's no one comes in even to inhale!
    Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale?
    Mind you I can hardly blame them!
    These are probably the worst pies in London.
    I know why nobody cares to take them!
    I should know!
    I make them!
    But good? No
    The worst pies in London
    Even that's polite! The worst pies in London!
    If you doubt it take a bite!
    Ugh!
    Is that just, disgusting?
    You have to concede it!
    It's nothing but crusting!
    Here drink this, you'll need it.
    The worst pies in London
    And no wonder with the price of meat
    what it is
    when you get it.
    Never thought I'd live to see the day.
    Men'd think it was a treat
    findin' poor
    animals
    what are dyin' in the street.
    Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop.
    Does a business, but I notice something weird.
    Lately, all her neighbors cats have disappeared.
    Have to hand it to her!
    What I calls,
    enterprise!
    Poppin' pussies into pies!
    Wouldn't do in my shop!
    Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!
    And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick.
    No denying times is hard, sir!
    Even harder than the worst pies in London.
    Only lard and nothing more-
    Is that just revolting?
    All greasy and gritty?
    It looks like it's molting!
    And tastes like...we'll pity.
    A woman alone...with limited wind
    And the worst pies in London!
    Ah, sir
    Times is hard.
    Times is hard.

    Is Christine Baranski playing Mrs Lovett the same as her 1999 incarnation in this video or doing something similar to Patti LuPone who plays two different versions of Mrs Lovett? I notice the hair is the same for Baranski in 1999 and 2002, but from the videos I've seen the costumes are different, which might be due to different songs in each video but it might be the same version of the character with different clothing through each production.

    She's the most beautiful voiced one of them all, and the variation is phenomenal. Comic, crass, beautiful, tragic, everything. Staunton was too gruff, Angela is perfect, Emma Thompson phenomenal but not as good of a singer as Christine. And Annaleigh Ashford - garbage.

    She makes smart acting choices. But I always experience her as bland. Even banal. Relying on some charm tricks. But never a living breathing sentient being. And I do admire her craft.
