we as a society owe Kelli O'Hara an apology for not giving her a Tony for Bridges.
literally was coming here to say this. This was her Grey Gardens/Next to Normal. voters done forked up.
Agreed.
So true. I'm a good Italian boy and she was giving me my Italian aunts in their youth. I don't know how she nailed that but she did.
Came here just to listen but wish I had come here to leave this comment. 👍
That's the truth! Kelli is my cousin and I was more upset by that than she or any other family members. To me, she pours herself into every beat of a song! Love you, Kelli. Be safe and joyful. Love to your sweet children, Greg and your parents. Healing prayers for Laura.
She puts so much emotion into each phrase. No note goes to waste. She's an incredible storyteller.
very much sooo....
That is exactly the word I would use. A master storyteller.
Absolutely. She understands the responsibility of being a singer. Communication!
Absolutely unbelievable. What a knockout!
might we expect a jrb medley, jon? :3 actually you should just go FUCK IT and do a hipster broadway medley. sondheim, guettel, all that good stuff. this is obviously the best way to get a shit ton of views from the general public lmao
tiffany aching Please im begging you
I see you everywhere!
this is one of the best performances i've ever heard. Her voice is so perfect for this song, her emotion is 120% and it's the first time I hear an italian accent that is not stereotypical or overacted, but it is actually very close to what an italian accent sounds like.
This is one of the most perfectly constructed and beautifully conceived Broadway songs I have heard in years. And Kelli O'Hara's performance is breathtaking. Every time I watch this, I am reduced to tears by its artistic integrity. A real gem.
I'm sure many others would agree with me when I say, this is a Tony award winning performance. Perfection.
I have never heard a woman sing like that in my life. And I am not young. One of the greatest pieces of tape I have had the privilege to watch. I am stunned.
"Almost Real" is a story in itself. The lyrics are thought-provoking and carried to perfection by Kelli's voice.
Wow. I had no idea what I was getting into when I clicked on this.
Absolutely breathtaking. Just--wow.
Same
Her voice is from God's own hand. What a beautiful song.
Actually, Kelli's voice is from her own throat.
The composition of this wonderful song is pure genius; and Kelli adds her own greatness to it.
I've listened to this song countless times, and yet here I am in tears again. One of the most singular performances of music of any genre I've ever experienced.
Kelli O'Hara is at the peak of her powers, now. The way she mixes her voice and the way she interprets the lyrics is absolutely perfect. And riveting. Excellent!!
Holy goddess. This is absolutely incredible, how did she not win the Tony????
How did she not win aTony for this role???
+Allison Nisbet Both her and Steven Pasquale were brutally robbed. I love Neil Patrick Harris as much as the next person, but...excuse me...did the committee see Pasquale's 'It All Fades Away'? Or, 'One Second and a Million Miles'? Makes a person lose faith in the Tonys..
@@stalbansgirl-jg9yn Pasquale got snubbed that year which was crazy but the lineup was competitive I guess. O'Hara did have a shot at winning but the show's failure combined with The King & I announcement equalling a bookmark for Tony voters to award O'Hara the next year helped pave the way for Jesse Mueller, a talented break through actress playing a pop icon in a big hit that was not going to get a lot of love everywhere else. Menzel was also competitive considering the banner year she had had and positive response to If/Then. I think she was probably third but both her and Sutton Foster probably getting some "merit only" votes prevented Kelli from pulling off the upset.
I keep coming back.. The subtle accent is incredible as well. I adore we, and I wish that I could see her in bridges :(
I weep every time I watch this. Her voice and talent are like diamonds.
how dare she do this so flawlessly?
One regret I will always have is that I did not get to see Kelli and Steven preform this wonderful music! I had tickets to see the play for just a week after it suddenly closed - a BIG fail for Broadway, as far as I am concerned! I have listened to the soundtrack over 100 times now and cannot get enough. So filled with emotion.
Same. Visited NY from London and was so disappointed when I heard it was going to close shortly before our trip.
I wish I couldve seen it now listening to the sound track. Hope this play is brought back.
Performances like this, ladies and gentlemen, are why Kelli O'Hara now has a Tony. Flawless! Perfection.
Music gets no better than this.
UMM this may be the most amazing thing ive ever watched
I'm crying like a baby.
The divine Kelli O'Hara!! And now she is singing at The Met!! And deservedly so!! Brava! A real American treasure.
Stunning song; stunning singer!!
This woman is perfection.
Just astounding. The music. Her voice. The impact.
She is perfection. I'm so sad first, they didn't perform at the Tony's and second that the show is closed. Live on Bridges! Live on!!
coming for a teenager, this is amazing music! I love Kelli! She is amazing! Who in their right mind would dislike this video?
I want Jason Robert Brown to write the score for a musical version of The Fault in Our Stars … just putting this into the universe
So I'm not the only one who wants a TFIOS Musical. This is nice to know.
***** now I also know someone else wants it as well. We need a Tfios musical
javarie19 I wrote one for fun, but I think a Jason Robert Brown version would probably be way better composed.
I could see that! Prob would make me cry just as much as Bridges did :P
I watch this every day ... and weep.
you know a singer is a true artist when you absolutely forget they're singing, and are just captivated by the story
I keep coming back to watch this. Phenomenal! A true thing of beauty!!
There are no words to describe this performance ...stunning!!
Please, God. Let Kelli win a tony for this performance.
I have listened to this performance dozens of times and am reduced to tears every time. A true masterclass.
I could listen to this song all day
This song wrecks me. When I saw O'Hara sing it in the theater, it was devastating. Peak form for a perfect song.
i kid you not, this video was when I fell in love with the Musical. That day I finally decided to watch this video that was always sitting there on my home page, I fell in love instantly and I knew then I had to see the show. I proceeded to find the other songs fromthe shpw and it only solidified my need to see the show. I finally did so, the 3rd to final performance, I cried.
She is just incredible. Absolutely stunning.
Absolute unadulterated perfection . Like watching lightning in a bottle .....
Whoa. That got my tears flowing. Incredibly beautiful.
I have sung with her onstage before!! She is truly amazing
I should have known what I was getting into with Kelli + JRB, but I have goosebumps and OH MY GOD.
Oh my dog. I reallllllly hope I get to see this lady live someday, she's just too amazing for words.
This video is a priceless gift to theatre lovers, honestly thank you for letting me into this.
GLORIOUS!!!
Just seen this amazing woman in The King & I in London and she was amazing, but this is something else...............what a beautiful song and what a fabulous performance.
Gets better every time I listen to it!!
FOREVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF MY FAVORITES OMG😩😍
... this is incredible.
...and that was Seth Rudetsky on piano?! What an incredible performance!! Kelli O'Hara is legendary. Brava!
Marvelous singing voice Kelli O'Hara has
I have never seen or heard a musical composition by any artist to compare with Kelli's performance... breathtaking
Beautiful. Thanks for putting it on youtube to enjoy.
This song is amazing
Speechless. Wow.
Perfection!!! I could listen to this every single day!!!!
Her voice is so steady I love it!!!
I never tire of watching this. Please give us more. Hope I can come to NYC and see The King and I.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Kelli O'hara is sooooooooooooooo amazing in this song!
HOLY SHIT
DAMN!!! I mean.......just wow!!!

Stunning is an understatement
From the hoo-haw. Don’t flame me, flame Birdwell. This is perfect. Very proud Okie, here.
When a girl grows up in Napoli, there are roads laid out before her.
And you understand, I'm speaking of the times before the war.
When a girl grows up in Napoli, she is more or less a target for her Mama's expectations, for the boys' infatuations.
All she gets is one decision, will she give them what they want?
My sister, Chiara, wore tight-fitting sweaters, unbuttoned just so.
Chiara would squeeze every drop of attention wherever she'd go.
Chiara said, "' Cesca, you must be prepared."
Chiara would act as though nobody cared.
Chiara would laugh at me quiet and scared.
And I dreamed of a flat in Siena on the market square.
With a book, and a pot, and a window, and a single chair.
Far from lonesome, far from Chiara, almost real.
Paolo was a boy from down the hill,
With silver eyes and hair like coal,
And massive hands that trembled when he looked my way.
Paolo was a boy who loved to swim, and who knows why I fell for him.
But soon enough, I kissed him on a winter's day.
Chiara said, "' Cesca, he's dull and he's dumb.
You'll end up a farm wife, exhausted and numb.
I'm off to the servicemens' club, you should come!"
But I dreamed of the beach at Ancona, where our kids would play.
Paolo right by my side, and the ocean only steps away.
Close to Heavan, far from Chiara, almost real.
Chiara went dancing while air raid sirens were shrieking.
Chiara would open her legs just as easy as speaking.
Paolo went off with the Army and never returned, and all that Chiara could say was, "I hope now you've learned."
And the streets were rubble, and the water was filthy, and there were no cigarettes, and no haircuts, and no thinking about the future.
And I sat at the harbor, watching the American ships.
And then I looked up and I saw an American smile down at me,
And I knew if I just took his hand, I could at last be free.
I could love him, I could want him, only take me from Italia,
far from Chiara, far enough that I could feel almost real.
Chills. That was breathtaking.
Beautiful. Every note is absolute perfection.
she's so good...it makes me ache
Wow!!!! Just incredible!
Stunning!
I love this so freaking much UGHHH
absolutely beautiful
Just Stunning!!!
Absolutely gorgeous sound💜
Brilliant! Heartfelt.
Goosebumps!
I would classify this more as a modern opera, sad ending and all. Perhaps too operatic for typical Broadway audience. As for this performance, few divas could ever surpass this!
My God! This was amazing!
Stunningly beautiful ❤️
her voice is so versatile and expressive, and the fullness of her presence is so enchanting. utterly delightful. Thank you for sharing.
I am completely touched by this fantastic interpretation of Kelli O'Hara! What a singer!
Excellent job! Just wow! Stunning!!
I can't stop watching, CHILLS
Jaw-droppingly good. I'm speechless.
Stunningly Exquisite!
Wow, this is stunning!!
Saw the show twice. In every way that it can be, it, and this performance is astonishing. Unequalled. Can't wait for CD. Pls post the Joni Mitchellesque song the ex wife sang too.
Stunning as usual, Kelli
Absolutely spellbinding. Gets me every time, I find I'm holding my breath. Bravo.
This is absolute perfection
I love songs that tell a story. Wow, that was beautiful.
Stunning, simply stunning. Brought tears to my eyes.
Perfection!
I met her today at a Q and A at my college and she is so humble and so real and just beautiful a soul. Absolutely one of my biggest inspirations.
Speechless!!!!!!!!!!!
Groooßartig!!! O'hara is just awesome!
