OT: Have we done selections from Musicals?

[Huskee11]

This one is timely as we move into September.

First sung in The Fantasticks by Jerry Orbach, who many of us know more for his role in Law and Order, and as the father in Dirty Dancing.

Here's a song from the Greatest Showman that I think is one of the best, especially the message.

Best song from best film musical in the past 25 years:

I vaguely remember playing this song in middle school orchestra way way way back in the day

Poor Jud is dead a candle lights his head, he’s looking oh so peaceful and so nice. It’s a shame that he won’t keep for it’ Summer and we’ Running out of ice

 

[Beemer]

I got to see Yul Brynner reprise his role as the King in the 1976 Broadway revival. He was still amazing 20 years on.

Don't think I've ever seen NPH in a TV or Broadway show but he is the Johnny Carson of The Tonys - He is sooo good -
One of my favs'

The first Broadway moment that brought me to tears, although Judy Dench and Sarah did it really well.

What a lunchroom! Collegiate or Horace Mann?

 

[Frodo]

I have always been madly in love with this woman.

Me too!!

 

[Frodo]

One of the most nearly perfect scenes ever put on film!

[Bama fan]

Me too!!

You have excellent taste, my friend.

 

[Frodo]

You have excellent taste, my friend.

I do. Unfortunately, my taste, in all things, has always exceeded my wallet.

What a lunchroom! Collegiate or Horace Mann?

JordyG- - -From age 8 to age 18 I was in Show Business and to work days I had to leave Public School and go to Private Schools, Mace School for JHS and Quintano's for HS where I could work matinees without being truant. I did some TV shows, Broadway Shows, Movies. At 18 I never felt I'd be a star, just an extra so I went to College. I wound up teaching & coaching.

 

[RegisteredUconn]

Not one of the musical versions, just the best version.

Makes a hard man humble

 

[Sargassoc]

I remember watching this on the Tony Awards and thinking no one could ever top it. Twenty-one years old and the greatest single performance I ever saw.
