  • www.playbill.com/video Elmo, Batman, Mickey Mouse and a whole host of unauthorized mascots crowd Times Square on a daily basis presenting themselves for photo ops with tourists. In the latest episode of "Life with Laura," Laura Benanti had some time on her hands, so she joined them for the day. She didn't dress as Hello Kitty, Smurfette or other popular characters since she didn't want to steal anyone's thunder. Instead, she dressed as what is sure to be a new favorite for kids of all ages - the sickly Fosca from Stephen Sondheim's "Passion."

    Oh my gosh! I officially hate people who don't know Laura Benanti! She's freaking hilarious and super talented! Gosh, what I would do to see her roaming around on Times Square! And this was recent! I'd understand if it were filmed when she wasn't very famous but now she's like one of Broadway's favorites!! Like come on people of nyc! You're better than that!

    4:11 It's 10 years later and Fritz is now a Sondheim character! That's incredible unintentional foreshadowing!

    She needs to be a superstar in music next. She is brilliant and amazing. Her voice, her warmth and comedy skills… are amazing.
    Brava.

    Hilarious!! I first saw Laura Benanti in Nine in Apr 2003, she was awesome. I first saw Passion in DC's 2002 Sondheim festival; I took a bus down to DC to see it because that's all I could afford, and wasn't sure when the next opportunity would be for me to see it fully staged. Good memories. Found this video randomly as I was reviewing how to sing "No One Has Ever Loved Me" correctly. Totally wish I could have been in Times Square that day to hear her singing and maybe even meet her!!

    I feel like she would have gotten more photos if she got into the role. Maybe fainted on a few people.
