- Norm Lewis Wishes You a Swingin' Christmas comes to Feinstein's/54 Below for five performances from December 20-24. The show marks Lewis' Feinstein's/54 Below debut, where the Broadway vet will share his holiday spirit with the audiences who have seen him through his Tony-nominated performance in The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess, his history-making run as Broadway's first African-American Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera, and many more. Take a look as Lewis previews one of the numbers on the bill: "No One Is Alone" from Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods - a sentiment we could all use around the holidays.
My favorite Sondheim song in the whole world. The lyrics are so incredible and Norm brings it to life like no one else could. Simply magnificent!
Wow, when Norm Lewis sings "No One Is Alone" I believe HIM! Great talent, a voice that can melt butter!!
It breaks my heart how he dedicates this to his friend who died of ovarian cancer (because she loved this piece).
😭😭😭 My favorite voice in the whole world
Norm and I used to drink like Russian Sailers back in my New York days at Don't Tell Mama's. Neither one of us had done much of anything yet. Many years later when I had long had my last drink I sang this song for the people who were also trying to have their last drink. It hits so close to home for us.
Best. Ever. Incredible performance by Norm Lewis and music director Joseph Joubert.
One of my favorites performances And beautiful piano playing
Oh my goodness, God must’ve found this video for me because I don’t know this man and this was exACTly what I needed!
I saw the title and gasped. I played the Witch when I was younger. This song already makes me cry, but to hear it in Norm's beautiful voice just made my heart hurt. It's stunning.
Goosebumps! So very sublime 🤩🤩🤩
How absolutely beautiful was this, He is just amazing ,tremendous treasure
beautiful arrangement + norm's voice.. ugh!
he is perfect.
it's the restraint. he holds back for so long and then bangs out some crazy notes at the end when he's ready.
This... is brilliant.
Such a lovely voice; such a mismatched piano accompaniment-showing off!
Just gorgeous!
HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT. HOLYS SHI. OISH SIT. HOLY SHIT.
Holy. Shit.
That was awesome!
I played this 3 times because the keys are awesome
A great forgotten song from Sondheim's "Into The Woods", See also Bernadette Peters version.
wonderful... xxx
Norm Lewis= Zaddy
As usual, just my opinion of course while Mr. Lewis sings beautifully, I really don't like the arrangement. I find it too distracting, like it should be it's own piece, a "theme and variations". It's interesting but seems to be working against the singer. Too elaborate for what is essentially a simple sounding song (not that it's easy to sing, it just should sound like it is).
Can someone help me find the accompaniment for this specific rendition? It's fabulous!
JKobe Wallace well if you found it, I'd.like to have it please!
I would be Interested too :-)
Sondheim for tenors has songs like no one is alone fit for male voices... it’s a green book
I was gonna say the opposite: The accompaniment is extremely intrusive, totally distracts from the vocal.
A great performance by Norm despite the overplaying pianist. Too busy!
I agree. There's a need for space in some pieces. This is a piece that would benefit from some space,
joshua george The pianist thinks he is in a piano lounge.
Agreed
Love the piano. It’s adds great depth to the song. AND, musicians have every right to interpret their own version of any song. That’s why they are artist. Just like the man singing it the way HE interprets the lyrics. Just remember that next time.
Yes, there's a role for interpretation but a good accompanist supports the soloist, doesnt compete with or distract from the soloist. See e.g. the You Tube some 13 years ago of Bernadette Peters singing this song with a very interesting & creative piano accompaniment that complements her singing.
Is there sheet music to this arraignment?
