- Catie Lazarus welcomed Broadway legend Patti LuPone and fellow Broadway star Tituss Burgess to sing Meadowlark on her talk show Employee of the Month at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater. Pianist Andrew Gerle accompanied LuPone, a two time Grammy, two time Tony and Olivier Award winning actress, and Burgess, an Emmy nominated actor, in a never rehearsed, never done before together duet.
Patti originally sang Meadowlark in The Baker's Wife in 1976. Since then it has become one of her signature songs, alongside Evita's Don't Cry for Me Argentina. Patti is currently starring in Penny Dreadful on Showtime. Tituss, who is currently starring in Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and also starred in Jersey Boys and The Little Mermaid on Broadway loves to sing Meadowlark. When the fabulous Seth Rudetsky noted on his own show that Burgess can sing in LuPone's range, Catie Lazarus decided to bring the phenomenal duo together. The music and lyrics were written by Stephen Schwartz.

I had the thought a couple days ago that Patti and Titus should sing this together at some point. Thank you universe, I needed this.
3:44 Patti be like, okay here comes the high note, God help us
And her laugh after that is so adorable
4:06 that shoulder kiss Patti gave OMG
This is the most amazing and horribly messy thing I’ve ever watched and I adore it 💖💖
This makes me want to CRY. Thanks Titus and Patti, so fucking inconsiderate. i'm sobbing on my KEY BOARD
Patti's laugh is perfect
I wish they had just taken turns instead of trying to harmonize the entire way through...but I'll take it!
I'm. So. Happy.
This makes me so happy!
Such talent!
This is gay rights.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Impromptu? Good Lord!
Too messy...
This was the most painful rendition of one of my favorite songs that I've ever heard. Burgess didn't know the lyrics and did a horrible job of faking it, and his harmony hurt my ears. Leave "Meadowlark" to Patti. She created it!
Burgess has fairly famously sang this song many many times. I'm pretty sure he knew the lyrics. He normal sings it a half-step down from patti and the video shows them both struggling to match harmonies unrehearsed. I wish the rehearsed - it could have been amazing.
What they lack in perfection, they make up in the joy they take in singing together.
Exactly. There both so great.
Not many men can pull this song off, let alone the fact that men starring in Television. They loved the performance...so did I.
Horrible harmony.
