We saw this production in Providence Rhode Island where it launched this national tour last fall. Katerina is an absolute amazing actress and incredible singer. She has the acting ability and voice to carry this role and she proves it. This clip is great to see here but does not do this song justice. To see and hear it performed live in the theater is very memorable. The entire cast of the national touring production are excellent in their roles. If it comes to a city near you do not miss it. Katerina is and Julie Benko was in my opinion the two best Fanny's.
I recently saw her in playhouse square! She was wonderful, I love how her voice is a little deep. So wonderful. The whole thing, really. All the actors. My grandmother kept commenting how she really liked how Katerina sounded like Barbara singing.
katerina and julie benko had the best performaces, they are so unique and they have their own way to potray fanny, instead some people just want to imitate barbra (i dont even need to talk about barbra she just is THE GOAT)
Sorry to everyone who loves Lea Michelle, but this is miles better than Lea in my opinion. Lea Michelle’s performance, to me, feels like a world-class Barbra Streisand impersonation, while Katerina sounds like her own performer.
When i Saw people saying Lea is copying Barbra, i Litteraly had to close my mouth cause i realese all of that are the hate on her.. Lea didn't even sing in the original Key...
Yes I love Katerina's performance. But Lea's performance of DROMP is unmatched and unique including her energy, the key, her belt and she's the only on to sing this with so much ease.. For sure Katerina is so Good in this perfomance but Lea's performance is imcomparable cos her version, I mean the key she's using is unique and original. @@tonymoreno5724
Did you get any other video? I saw her yesterday in Minneapolis at the Orpheum, she was phenomenal. She did this one just a tad differently, there was a point she held the note, held it, held it, the orchestra stopped playing, she kept going, it was unbelievable
@@yelanatesthat’s not how that works. The numbers only continue if it is the same exact production going out on tour. This is 60 years later with a completely new staging. It’s the 1st national tour
Very nice! She reminds me a little of Valery Harper, with a little Linda Lavin thrown in, too. Though Linda Lavin’s voice was bigger. Different time, more practice being heard without being miked.
When was this? The old school jazz vocals/belt are amazing in this video, but the CZcams ad that keeps playing nowadays with her in the recording studio has more “poppy” and thinner vocals with the longer held note at the end. I’m guessing this is an early leg of the tour, she’s probably improved a lot since then. I’m hoping to see her on the San Francisco leg next month with these vocals but also with the epic note at the end where the orchestra isn’t rushing to finish like in this video.
You may be thinking of the "final note(s)" at the end of the show. This is the end of the 1st act. It's a shorter "my" and "parade".... where as at the VERY end of the show, she holds onto the "MY......" for an ETERNITY with the orchestra cut off (and it's simply amazing, literally like 3x longer than Lea Michelle on the official bway recording), and then "parade" to close it out. Kat has simply taken over this role now. No one else compares. No one. She will forever own this musical.
@@jbmusic309 So I have a friend who works in the wardrobe department for the San Francisco tour of Funny Girl. She timed the length of the last note of Rain on my parade reprise and it was for THIRTY SEVEN SECONDS.
I have been debating whether to see the show in LA. This clip made up my mind. While Katerina has an exceptional voice, her acting is off. The number calls for rage, defiance, determination, fire. She lacks the darker energy needed to propel the narrative arc of the song. After I watched this, I rewatched Lea Michele, who has all the urgency and defiance and rage the song needs to also capture the audience's solidarity. It only works on the surface level.
I can honestly say that Katerina’s performance was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. I have experienced many broadway performances and have even performed on Broadway myself, and she blew my mind. Her acting is on point for this number and every aspect of this show. While I am not a fan of this show, I am now a huge fan of her. I would encourage you to go. You will not be disappointed.
I think if you were to view her performance in its entirety, it might make more sense how this approach to the song fits in to her portrayal. It's hard to pluck a song out and say that it's not acted correctly, when were aren't seeing what she did with the role in the scenes before and after this moment.
please keep reminding people. I don't care how talented she is, it was wrong for her to audition knowing they were looking for someone Jewish and couldn't just ask her if she was. She shouldn't have been cast and I stand by that.

Her acting is worthy of a Tony. Her emotion is felt on every note. Her singing is astounding. She's absolutely incredible. Bravo Katerina.
she's the greatest I've ever seen
I love that shes got an old school full sounding belt! Thats what these classic scores call for.
Amazing breath control! 👏👏👏
The most incredible voice!
Truly the best experience I've had in a long time.
This has to be the best rendition of this song I’ve seen. Fabulous vocals and character and commitment. Loved it. Chills!!!!😊
I saw this show last night. She was fabulous
Omg I saw her live, and she is spectacular.
As much as much as I would’ve loved to see Lea Michele, I just saw Katerina last night and she does not disappoint. She was amazing.
Wow! What a great rendition of that iconic song. She made it her own and KILLED!
I just saw her sing live and she was fantastic! Wow!!
I recently saw her in playhouse square! She was wonderful, I love how her voice is a little deep. So wonderful. The whole thing, really. All the actors. My grandmother kept commenting how she really liked how Katerina sounded like Barbara singing.
We were there Tuesday night, it was really great
Best Fanny ever !!
Very impressed! Thank you for sharing the girl’s extreme talent!
katerina and julie benko had the best performaces, they are so unique and they have their own way to potray fanny, instead some people just want to imitate barbra (i dont even need to talk about barbra she just is THE GOAT)
Its because they’re playing Fanny Brice, not Barbra
Its not about playing barbra, its about trying to be as iconic as her instead of being original (im talking about lea michelle)
@@theelusive8559 no it’s about playing Fanny Brice
@@theelusive8559 Lea was great, you’re grasping at straws
@@quinnaddison420 you clearly didn't got the point of the comment, goodbye!
Sorry to everyone who loves Lea Michelle, but this is miles better than Lea in my opinion. Lea Michelle’s performance, to me, feels like a world-class Barbra Streisand impersonation, while Katerina sounds like her own performer.
agree I was at first preview of lea
When i Saw people saying Lea is copying Barbra, i Litteraly had to close my mouth cause i realese all of that are the hate on her.. Lea didn't even sing in the original Key...
Omg, I don’t like Lea! Not in Wicked, not in anything! Just saw Hannah Shankman as Fanny last night and she killed it!
Katerina is a better actress than Lea no doubt. Her voice is fuller and I feel the words and emotion Katerina is singing. Great voice !
Yes I love Katerina's performance. But Lea's performance of DROMP is unmatched and unique including her energy, the key, her belt and she's the only on to sing this with so much ease..

Flawless!
Did you get any other video? I saw her yesterday in Minneapolis at the Orpheum, she was phenomenal. She did this one just a tad differently, there was a point she held the note, held it, held it, the orchestra stopped playing, she kept going, it was unbelievable
I was there too on Sunday night! She was just incredible!!
When I saw her in playhouse square the did this too- multiple times in the show. Shes amazing!
If you have the full thing with her in it, please send it to me
HOLY SHIT!!!! I'm so gagged
She is sensational. And makes the song her own.
Fun fact: Katerina played Ocean in the McCarter Theatre production of Ride the Cyclone!
OMG you’re right, I had to look it up, and nearly screamed! Good job Katerina
Best rendition of this song i have ever heard. Even tops Barbara. Bravo!
maravilhosaaaa ❤❤❤❤
McCrimmon is the absolute BEST!
This is DEFINITELY the 1st National Tour.
Correct!
The 1st national tour of Funny Girl was in the 60s.
@@yelanatesthat’s not how that works. The numbers only continue if it is the same exact production going out on tour. This is 60 years later with a completely new staging. It’s the 1st national tour
@@SnowCoveredKKit’s how it works in the bootleg world, and this is a bootleg 🤷
@@yelanates Well, you’re wrong. 🤷🏼♂️ Hotta love this new world of, good enough! 😂
The acting in the beginning was so Broadway.. lol
Well, it is a musical at the end of the day
yes yes yes
This is the 1stt national tour....
Thank you for posting. Did you record any other numbers
I did not!
❤❤❤❤
Very nice! She reminds me a little of Valery Harper, with a little Linda Lavin thrown in, too. Though Linda Lavin’s voice was bigger. Different time, more practice being heard without being miked.
Wait why did we never get a Linda Lavin Fanny?!
Major slay
Amazing rendition. Although I have to say the ensemble looks very young, it feels its a school production. 🙈
I believe those actresses play the Ziegfeld Follies girls, so they should be fairly young looking.

Trust me, you're in a for a treat. That final note will be forever etched in your memory!

@@yukirabbit2615 Not surprised. Kat must be from another planet!
Katerina is amazing. Whoever did this camera is terrible.
okay rude lol. i would love to see you record a show from the 6th row with out being caught
@@user-ny7px4lu1z That's just it. Illegal as all hell. Disrespectful of the performers and the audience.
Lea Michel who? Sorry but Katerina blows her out of the water. Katerina IS Funny Girl.
My thoughts exactly!
this is correct
She should have been on cd not Lea no offense
Absolutely, yes.
100000%

@@rnproud1802 Agreed, this is the best on stage performance I have EVER seen.
Not to be that person but I feel the need to remind people in the comments how she is not Jewish 🙃
please keep reminding people. I don't care how talented she is, it was wrong for her to audition knowing they were looking for someone Jewish and couldn't just ask her if she was. She shouldn't have been cast and I stand by that.
It’s called acting.
Maybe feel that need less and stop being so whiny :)
At the end of the day, it already happened. Move on.
She never said she wasn’t. That is all hearsay that she has never commented on. Technically Lea isn’t either. Just saying.
Everyone is great but for me one and only Barbra and ofc Lea Michele is the best for this role❤
This is due in San Francisco in April…. I am so disappointed she’s terrible.
Bebe was so much better 😢
Who's Bebe?
