Love how the director has chosen to stage it in this production - with Seymour joining Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon's tableau at the song's climax. Audrey left alone center stage in her own spotlight as she realizes she can "learn how to be more the girl that's inside me." Really made me hear the song differently. Just stunning.
@@revengeofbcraig5755 No, they did it totally differently in the movie. Seymour runs up to her as she sings "Showed me I can learn how to bean more the girl that's inside me."
She does however hit the "he don't condescANNND" note the way Ellen does and for that she gets extra points. Lol I judge every Audrey by how they hit that one note
she has so much stage presence. she's absolutely enchanting. matt doyle might be my favourite seymour, ever, but i can't take my eyes off of joy. the pro recording and cast album are REQUIRED.
Her last "suddenly Seymore" at 3:00 is unreal... She takes the "Sey" down mid-syllable, then pulls "more" up mid-syllable perfectly and I had to listen to it at .25x like 20 times to understand what she was doing and how. Stunning.
i just saw this in person yesterday but it was with jermey jordan. she is so outstanding and i desperately wanted to find her singing this song again because she had me in tears.
I saw her on stage yesterday. They’re not going to get a better Audrey than her for the rest of this production’s run. Her performance was so heartbreaking, so sincere, so endearing. I hope she gets a ton of offers and opportunities. She deserves to become a big thing.
Joy has made this her own. She’s effortlessly singing but what an impact. The altered not at “Learn how to be more …” brought me to tears. The apex has always been the preceding “can,” but “LEARN how to be more …. “. Just thrilling. Wish I could get to NYC when she’s on.
I saw her back in winter 2022 when she was an understudy. She was absolutely phenomenal and my favorite Audrey I’ve ever seen. I’m so excited to see her in the role full time!
I always look for the long-felt pain and disbelief in these two characters, but the sheer brilliance and power of this simply blew me away. Stellar singing.
@@nozzwald This is late but in the version I co-directed we also referred to them collectively as the Ronettes although we knew it was just one of their names.
@@pertnaythe ronettes, the chiffons, AND the crystals are all 60s girl groups actually! The music/their vibes are supposed to pay a little bit of homage to them all i think
I'm just back here to say that seeing this clip inspired me to go see the show with Matt and Joy in it, and they were every bit as good live as they were in this clip, if not better. Truly, I don't think there has ever been a better Seymour-Audrey duo on-stage. Their performances were incandescent, their chemistry crackling, and their voices perfectly brought Alan and Howard's beautiful songs to life. Bravo, from the bottom of my heart!
Imagine being so beautiful; both in her lovely face and in her transcendental voice; so gracious, and so VERY talented. America take note. This lady is bound for the top! Joy Woods is a star in the making. Mark my words.
My best friend did! I think of her and her man every time I hear this. She dated (and once married) a long string of losers before finding him. He's even just a little bit shorter than her making it all the more wonderful. Lol
Wow, wow, wow… she is amazing and that is a hard song for the female part. It’s like one of the most difficult female parts and she killed it. Not to mention she’s probably the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen. I’m a huge fan immediately. 😍
Very nice. Different but still very good as compared to Ellen Greene. I am so happy to see Matt Doyle finally gets the chance to play Seymour. He sang this song 6-7 yes ago and I told my friend that he would be perfect for that role. Congrats to both performers. I saw it with Groff. Maybe I will see it again.
I saw this video and decided to go watch the show today. Wow, I was just so blown away by the entire cast particularly Joy Woods! What a phenomenal actress! I laughed and cried during her performance. Absolutely would go back again!
I just had the pleasure of seeing this live off-Broadway this evening. Joy was playing opposite Teddy Yudain, and this number was even more incredible in person. Amazing performances from everyone present, and it was a great audience too. If you are in NYC, definitely go see it.
Joy Woods is probably my favorite (and best) Audrey yet! Lena was fantastic but damn Joy blows it all out of the water. Fun fact: Joy Woods is a two time LSOH Alum. She did a run as Chiffon and then came back later to play Ronnette. Now she's the star of the show (and damn deserving of it too)
Saw this live with Joy Woods and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Cannot be recaptured how much heart she put into the performance, all with technical perfection. So worth the money
I just saw this musical live, and IT WAS PHENOMENAL! The whole cast does such an amazing job. We had such a fun time. Hoping to see it again when we're back in nyc!
I love the show, but I’ll be honest I think the performance of this number by these two actors is absolutely outstanding and it is the reason why I want to see the show
I just saw LSOH with my daughter in March, but this really makes me want to go see it again. Lena Hall was a tremendous Audrey, but Joy looks amazing as well - what a voice!
Great voice. I did not know what to expect. She didn't sing with that 'gritty' downtown poor girl voice. No accent ( I did not feel much emotion for the character. However, she came into her own when she brought that 'southern gospel soulful belting out loud' vibe. That was the emotion I was looking for. I am not sterotyping, but I see her 'Audrey' as a girl from the south, brought up in the church and gospel music. She and her mother escape to the big city for a better life, but don't succeed; but finds security in her gospel upbringing. That is the interpretation, I'd like to see. Just my 2 cents.
Die beste Version des Liedes, die jemals gesehen oder gehört habe. Nicht nur der Gesang, auch die Instrumente - einfach perfekt eingesetzt. Schade, dass ich nicht mal eben nach Amerika reisen und die Show sehen kann. The best version of the song I've ever seen or heard. Not just the vocals, but also the instruments - simply used perfectly. It's a shame I can't even travel to America and see the show.
Joy Woods is so beautiful and absolutely slays the role. She sounds heavenly, but I was kind of disappointed that they didnt do the little speech impediment audrey has 😞
Ngl I was wondering that myself. This only shows Audrey singing, so I was hoping that they at least kept the raspy, babydoll speaking voice for the dialogue. I was excited to see Joy Woods’s name, but losing the iconic hair, voice, and the skintight animal-print mini dresses just kills me.
Love how the director has chosen to stage it in this production - with Seymour joining Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon's tableau at the song's climax. Audrey left alone center stage in her own spotlight as she realizes she can "learn how to be more the girl that's inside me." Really made me hear the song differently. Just stunning.
They did that in the movie version too.
@@revengeofbcraig5755 No, they did it totally differently in the movie. Seymour runs up to her as she sings "Showed me I can learn how to bean more the girl that's inside me."
@@jasonqueue6300 I thought you meant him singing with the girls, not with how everyone was staged.
It's really nice!! Subtle but empowers Audrey in that moment, so it's not only about Seymour the entire song
THE CLARITY in her voice!! 🎉 and love that she’s not trying to be another imitation of Ellen
I came here to say the same thing. She breathes new life into a roll that can easily fall into a caricature of Ellen
She does however hit the "he don't condescANNND" note the way Ellen does and for that she gets extra points. Lol I judge every Audrey by how they hit that one note
Yes, that grabbed my ear riiiight away! The clarity indeed!! Rare and stunning.
she has so much stage presence. she's absolutely enchanting. matt doyle might be my favourite seymour, ever, but i can't take my eyes off of joy. the pro recording and cast album are REQUIRED.
I adore Matt as Seymour and I am bummed he is leaving soon.
She’s making it her own in such a beautiful way. No copycat performance here. Also Matt is so good in this role.
That's such a great way to put it. Joy's is the first I've seen ages where I feel like it's a new performance I want to see all of.
Like even the way she carries her body im like this girl is acting inside out
Her last "suddenly Seymore" at 3:00 is unreal... She takes the "Sey" down mid-syllable, then pulls "more" up mid-syllable perfectly and I had to listen to it at .25x like 20 times to understand what she was doing and how. Stunning.
I saw the two of them do this twice in one week... very good
And the pitch change?
That's like audio crack.
People are really picking this apart, aren’t they? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
i just saw this in person yesterday but it was with jermey jordan. she is so outstanding and i desperately wanted to find her singing this song again because she had me in tears.
Exact same thing happenned to me.
Same but I saw it 2 days ago it was fantastic and joy is such an amazing Audrey
i just saw it and she was amazing. im so glad i saw it. i was so surprised by the ending though! i grew up with the happy end so i was so surprised!
@@averyyasss6920 did you see it with Jeremy Jordan?
Yes! I saw it in September and am still thinking about her enough to look for this vid a month later. She blew my hair back.
I saw her on stage yesterday. They’re not going to get a better Audrey than her for the rest of this production’s run. Her performance was so heartbreaking, so sincere, so endearing. I hope she gets a ton of offers and opportunities. She deserves to become a big thing.
I saw her in August of 2023 and I'm still not over her performance
Joy has made this her own. She’s effortlessly singing but what an impact. The altered not at “Learn how to be more …” brought me to tears. The apex has always been the preceding “can,” but “LEARN how to be more …. “. Just thrilling. Wish I could get to NYC when she’s on.
Yes! The high E5 instead of the high C#5 is perfect for it!!!
I love when joy raises her arms. It’s felt so organic and connected to everything else she was doing and singing. Just a beautiful voice
She's singing like it's as easy as breathing for her! Effortless! Beautiful ❤️
I saw her back in winter 2022 when she was an understudy. She was absolutely phenomenal and my favorite Audrey I’ve ever seen. I’m so excited to see her in the role full time!
I saw these two in May.. I was blown away... went back two days later.. she is perfect!
Um…. Why has she not been performing it all along?? She sounds incredible. So much depth and clarity.
Probably because wasn't born yet 🤭
Probably because of racism or maybe she finally auditioned for it
This was the first version of Suddenly Seymour ive heard and I was and still am so in love with it
Yep same. This one's really stuck with me
Joy Woods' voice is wonderful! I really want to hear her sing "Somewhere That's Green"
ruclips.net/video/XaciH9qDyds/видео.html
Theres a video of her singing it
ruclips.net/video/XaciH9qDyds/видео.html
She's incredible, and I love the Greek chorus just sort of casually leaning there.
I believed every second of her acting
Probably my favorite version of this great song. I love that she doesnt overdo the NY accent to make Howard Ashman's great lyrics clear. Brilliant.
Love to see the SIX Broadway cast glowing in other shows! Bravo
This is terrific!!! Wish they had recording this cast.
That “condescend” should win over anyone. Wow.
ARGH! I wish I could see this! These two have great chemistry and they killed this song PERFECTLY! Love it!
I always look for the long-felt pain and disbelief in these two characters, but the sheer brilliance and power of this simply blew me away. Stellar singing.
I watched this live and omfg Audrey’s voice- angelic and powerful! She was so perfect for this part and she played it beautifully 🩵
They're both incredible, and the Ronettes!!!! I saw it last year with Christian Borle as the dentist etc.. HE stole the sholw! LOVED IT!
Ronette is one of their names, collectively they’re known as the Street Urchins
@@nozzwald DAMN! I knew that! My bad. Thanks for correction.(I usually pride myself on my Broadway trivia....)
@@nozzwald This is late but in the version I co-directed we also referred to them collectively as the Ronettes although we knew it was just one of their names.
@@jonathanrio6587i think the ronettes are a girl group from the 60s so you’re close enough :3

Find you a man who looks at you like Seymour looks at Audrey!
I KNOW, right? That one moment at 2:53 is just impeccable. Matt's take on Seymour is SO fun and wholesome, dear god
Find a man who looks like Matt Doyle
My best friend did! I think of her and her man every time I hear this. She dated (and once married) a long string of losers before finding him. He's even just a little bit shorter than her making it all the more wonderful. Lol

She is perfect, plain and simple. Clarity, beauty, and grace in her voice.
Joy is going to blow up after this. She's amazing!

Now I really need more of Matt and Joy. Because I have replay this song over and over again.
We finally saw it and they sound even better live. Just perfect.
Wow
Joy captures the innocent cupie doll look, Lena didn't really have.
Her voice is AMAZING
Lena had that voice though.
@@victordunson719
Naaahh
Nope
@@Mars-xc1ns Lena outdid her vocally by leaps and bounds. So a big whatever to your comment 👋
I had the pleasure of seeing this duo in person and I can honestly say that their live performance was even better than this.
Obsessed with this cast!! It’s just so perfect!! From the Urchins to this perfect pairing of Matt and Joy!!
Holy SHIT she's good! Wow, that's one of the best performances of that song I've ever seen.
Literal chills! I most definitely will be back to see Joy!
This is awesome. Saw her in SIX and him in COMPANY. Time to see them together❣️
Seeing this live was otherworldly
Joy Woods is simply EVERYTHING.
Wow! They’re amazing! He’s a cute Seymour, but she’s a sweet, yet sultry Audrey.
From chiffon to Audrey joy is inspirational
what a fabulous woman... imma keep my eyes out for ms joy

Absolutely gorgeous!
She has a great voice and absolutley commands the stage. Really well done.
She has such a beautiful voice. She plays a great Audrey
my absolute FAVOURITE version of this song! the production looks amazing
Omg I love Seymour. His voice fits his personality to a T. And Aubrey’s hair is so gorg.
This video appeared on my YT feed and now I'm searching for more Joy Woods. Wow!
2:31 don’t mind this!
Damn I wish I could see this show with her as Audrey she is fantastic
She just left the show sadly :(
What a beautiful performance by all!!! Boy did I get the chills!!!
