Marla totally blew me away when I saw the show last year. Especially during "Raise Your Voice" when she sang that unexpected high note... holy crap that was amazing!!
I recently auditioned for this role. I was called back for it, too. The cast list isn't coming out until the end of next week, but I'm really hoping I got it. I love this song so much!
I just got cast as Sister Mary Robert in a local community theatre production of Sister Act :) If I'm even HALF as wonderful as Marla, I'll be more than happy
*chills!* Wow!! That was outstanding!!!! I almost cried!!!! Makes me wanna get in my car and go do the first thing I think of! Something I've never done before! (I don't know what that would be, but it makes me wanna do it.....)
So I have a problem! I saw this musical on broadway and I fell in love! And I didn't have enough money to buy the soundtrack... and they don't have the right version on iTunes!!!! What am I supposed to do? I need this song!!
Is it me, Or does Marla use more than one Rosary in the show? Some shots of here the Rosary beads look big, then in this scene its small beads.. I wish someone could tell me. LOL
My school is doing this I’m going to audition for this part I’m only first year and I want delorious but I think a senior will get it so this is the part I want instead 💖💝💖
and all of the doors yet to open all of the rooms ahead they’re beckoning bright scary and new but i’m standing tall and i’m walking through what’s gone may be gone but i won’t go on playing dead it’s time to start living the life i never led
It's mine though, to take or refuse And all of the doors yet to open All of the rooms ahead They're beaconing bright Scary and new But I'm standing tall And I'm walking through What's gone may be gone But I won't go on Playing dead! It's time to start living
i believe Marla better embodies the character and innocence of sister mary roberts however vocally i stick by katie rowley jones being superior in that dept
Marla is so underrated on Broadway I love her, she should've at least have gotten a Tony Nomination for this role
ikr
I totally agree. She has one of the most exciting voices to hit Broadway in a long, long time.
and plus, she's hilarious
her placement is so incredible
HONESTLYYY
Right?! Like It leaves me dead
I just found out this morning I got this part!!!!!
Ronnie congrats!
That ending gave me chills.
I could listen to Marla sing forever 😍
UGH SHES SO WONDERFUL
This tugs at my heartstrings UGHHH she's so talented!!
You’re so real
Marla totally blew me away when I saw the show last year. Especially during "Raise Your Voice" when she sang that unexpected high note... holy crap that was amazing!!
"Yeah, F.M. stands for fu-"
i laughed so much at that line
My 13yr old daughter is doing this song in a competition early March, very useful to see how its done on the stage, its all about the emotion I guess
I recently auditioned for this role. I was called back for it, too. The cast list isn't coming out until the end of next week, but I'm really hoping I got it. I love this song so much!
Bravura VA Did you get it!!???
Rileigh Pedersen Unfortunately I didn't. (An upperclassman did). I tried my best, but oh well.
Bravura VA if you don't mind me asking, did you use this song for auditioning or a song of your choice? :)

I didn't get it, but I ended up landing myself a bigger role in a bigger production of "Crazy For You", I was Polly Baker :)
That is sooo good well done you!
Best of luck it’s an honour to play that role
Hello! I was hoping you could help me in suggesting some songs to sing to audition for this role?
I couldn't agree more.
Marla is my voice teacher’s best friend from college. I met her in July and she’s lovely!
Okay so this video has been the basis of my love for musical theatre for 12 years. ❤ Marla can kill me and my family ❤
I like it I like it a lot
Fierce as hellll
This is now my theme song :(
impossible. if it's not Marla it can't be.
love love love her!! do you have Haven't Got a Prayer??? Even if it's Carolee Carmello!! Love her too
I’m using this song for an audition!!
AAA I FUCKING LOVE HER
i'm auditioning with this song. I hope it goes well.
I get such Anastasia - Journey To The Past vibes from this
I get Rapunzel about to leave the tower vibes!
Marla is queen.
They need to make sister act 3 with this song in it
I’m playing Mary Roberts in February x
Just found out today I’m playing her in my school production! So excited!
So I have a problem! I saw this musical on broadway and I fell in love! And I didn't have enough money to buy the soundtrack... and they don't have the right version on iTunes!!!! What am I supposed to do? I need this song!!
Best Mary Robert ever
I JUST GOT CAST AS MARY ROBERT
Opinions are never wrong. We can agree to disagree.
@natkg2010 theres a clip of it online with Victoria Clark...just search it and youll find it
Love Marla But after hearing Julie Atherton on the UK Tour shes my favourite
what is this song about as im doing it for an audition?
Does anyone could explain to me what Patina says to Marla about FM boots, and what does Marla say after ? Sorry I don't speak english :-)
aaah ok, thanks a lot !
Which is a reference to M*A*S*H
My favourite version of this by far is that of Julie Atherton from the UK Tour.
Is it me, Or does Marla use more than one Rosary in the show? Some shots of here the Rosary beads look big, then in this scene its small beads.. I wish someone could tell me. LOL
My school is doing this I’m going to audition for this part I’m only first year and I want delorious but I think a senior will get it so this is the part I want instead 💖💝💖
did you get it?
you don’t deserve it if you can’t spell Deloris right
and all of the doors yet to open
all of the rooms ahead
they’re beckoning bright
scary and new
but i’m standing tall
and i’m walking through
what’s gone may be gone
but i won’t go on playing dead
it’s time to start living the life
i never led
You can hear Alan menkens other work in this song. Feels more Disney princess very similar to speechless from Aladdin
is it just me or does this sound like Let It Go From Frozen
It's mine though, to take or refuse And all of the doors yet to open All of the rooms ahead
They're beaconing bright
Scary and new
But I'm standing tall
And I'm walking through
What's gone may be gone
But I won't go on
Playing dead!
It's time to start living
ya. i love em both, dont get me wrong. i just think Katie has a better voice but Marla better embodies the character
There is no Broadway soundtrack, only the London soundtrack.
what is f.m. ???
Katie is FARRRR better in 'Raise your voice'
But for this piece, Marla Mindelle is soooo much better :)
3:20
Sorry, but Marla destroys Katie Rowley Jones.
I’m playing Mary Robert at my school show of sister act
i believe Marla better embodies the character and innocence of sister mary roberts however vocally i stick by katie rowley jones being superior in that dept
i think marla better embodies the character of sister mary roberts but i still prefer katie's vocals
dc3fan2003 personally I feel Marla has probably the most amazing vocals I’ve ever heard
i love them both but i prefer Katie's smooth tone. marla's belt borders on whining screech sometimes
Maria can crash her car into my house and I would thank her
Same bestie
no she doesnt lol. i love them both but vocally, Katie's tone is more natural and smooth and her head voice is better.
good but Katie Rowley Jones was waaay better,so much sentimental
no.
