    I have never commented on a video before but this was the most hauntingly beautiful moving rendition of this song. You can see Shoshana tearing up and I could feel what she was feeling in my soul. What a performance!!!!!! I have tears running down my cheek but smiling because it was utterly perfect

    3.20 “Look, I made a hat” -> 😭
    I feel compassion and a sense of sadness listening to this performance.

    Wasn't expecting to sob while down a Sunday In The Park With George youtube rabbit hole at 8am, but here we are... Man, Shoshana. I've been trying to explain to my wife why Mandy's version of this song always sends me into tears, but I haven't been able to find a rendition that explained my emotions. Then you came along. Incredible. Thank you.

    You have this inhuman ability to involve yourself so deeply in certain pieces of music(well, ALL pieces) and translate that emotion to your audience. Not only is your vocal ability out of this world, but your outward empathy is surreal. A real and true artist, ladies and gentlemen.

    Sublime rendition, evocative and nuanced. Would love to hear Shashana sing The Roads you didn't Take from Follies. It's generally sung as almost a dirge but I think Shoshana would embrace the sweetness of the story and the wisdom.

      While I'm all for reimagining characters, I don't think it could work in this case as Dot is pregnant with George's child. That can't happen if George is a woman. Now... a woman playing George as a man? That could be considered.

      Famous pointillist painter Georges Seurat laments the breakdown of his relationship with Dot who left him for another due to his obsession with his work. Watch Sunday in the Park with George for a proper understanding, a filmed show of the OBC is on CZcams.
