My uncle was the french horn that you hear in the original cast recording. He both begins and ends the musical. He died in 2012. I think he would have been pleased with this revival.
I"m so sorry for your loss, but what a lovely and amazing legacy. I will think of your uncle when I listen to the original cast recording (which I do so often).
Wow! As a horn player myself having played many different shows, I am blown away by his performance! It’s a great part! I hope to play this show someday.

That little laugh and silence after the number ends is so true. When you make a beautiful piece of music with someone and then when you finish the magic just makes you speechless
I had the great fortune to see Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Asford in "Sunday in the park with George at Hudson theatre. I came from Turkey such a short time to meet them personally at the stage door and flew back to istanbul after the show. They were kind when I greet them. The cast and orchestra were magnificient. Jake and Anneleigh brought down the house. I am also huge fan of Jake's works. He literally nailed the audiences. The show was so intense. it was the happiest day of the year for me. Jake was phenomenal as usual. I will never forget what I have been going through. I got mesmerized by Jake and Annaleig's great voices. All audiences were moved and some of them cried too.
I had just had a baby and wasn't able to get down to NYC to see this amazing production. I'm still a little sad about that, but the kid was worth it. I hope they filmed it. Jake channels Mandy's performance beautifully while still making it his own.
@@TheRealPattyD well, Groban is doing it, so I’m sure Gyllenhaal could as well. Though I’m extremely excited for a big, lush ‘Sweeney’ revival (which is what it seems we’re getting)
I got the chills every time I listen to this. Sunday in the park with George was my favorite role I ever played. Thank you for this. Another Dot 🩷🩷🩷 beautiful
Dear Jake and Annaleigh and cast......we saw Sunday on our 23 anniversary . My partner's name is George. I saw the original with Bernadette and Mandy twice on Broadway (I was about 22 so you do the math in term of what that cost me). I've seen it about 4 times since then. I have now seen the best version (you even made what I refer to as "the dog song" work). I told George after we left the theater I will never see it again live. I can't hope to see a better version. Simply. thank you all.
I very much agree with you. I only watched Mandy and Bernadette's performance on DVD, but I watched this new ensemble live, and they were amazing! I absolutely loved it!
I’m actually mad that all this talent was given to Jake Gyllenhaal, in combination with him being the gorgeous person he is with the cutest personality....
Thanks for your love and support towards me.❤️❤️ kindly send me a direct message to my hangout at jakegyllenhaal292@gmail.com. I would love to know you more.
damn i already knew he is an amazing actor, a witty guy with a chaotic energy and now I find he can sing so amazingly?! Where do I find people like him XD
Sunday in the Park with George will always be one of my favorite musicals. Although I am a scientist, I see bit of myself in George. The obsession with work, compulsion to make things work, the inner turmoil when scrambling to find something novel, all the while not taking care of myself and ignoring the world around me including the people I truly care about. The lack of appreciation in my own work, not wanting to give myself credit for the work whether it is a success or failure, and the constant fear of being judged. These all hit home pretty hard for me and I alway cry at the end, when George once again learns to give himself room to create without being stuck in his own head. The messages are so eloquently communicated through songs and book. I can see why some people will hate it, but I think that if one takes the time for introspection, they will find that the messages are very relatable to almost anyone.
Lyrics: 0:40 Yes, she looks for me, good Let her look for me to tell me why she left me As I always knew she would I had thought she understood They have never understood And no reason that they should But if anybody could Finishing the hat How you have to finish the hat How you watch the rest of the world From a window While you finish the hat Mapping out a sky What you feel like, planning a sky How you feel when voices that come Through the window, go Until they distance and die Until there's nothing but sky And how you're always turning back too late From the grass or the stick Or the dog or the light How the kind of woman willing to wait Not the kind that you want to find waiting To return you to the night Dizzy from the height Coming from the hat, studying the hat Entering the world of the hat Reaching through the world of the hat Like a window Back to this one from that Studying a face Stepping back to look at a face Leaves a little space in the way like a window But to see, it's the only way to see And when the woman that you wanted goes You can say to yourself, well, I give what I give But the woman who won't wait for you knows That however you live There's a part of you always standing by Mapping out the sky Finishing a hat, Starting on a hat Finishing a hat, Look I made a hat Where there never was a hat
imagine being as succesful as jake gyllenhaal... like he's been in movies since around the 1990's,, then he got into musicals and even made it into the movie far from home- *alexa play succesful by ariana grande*
Musical theatre has never really been a big thing for me, but since Sondheim died and I reheard his Desert Island Discs on BBC radio with Sue Lawley, I am absolutely compelled by his creative process. One of his pieces was the Left Hand Piano Concerto by Ravel and you just know he listened to it a lot while he was composing, he features chord progressions from it in so many of his pieces. I know next to very little about music but it made me really excited to know more about his work and now I can't get enough!!!! Mandy Patinkin is impassioned in this role and has a very full and mature voice. Jake Gyllenhaal is more surprising and surprised by what he is singing, which is very appropriate to this particular song, extremely engaging. I haven't heard or seen his full performance but it certainly makes me want to. Getting to hear all the various interpretations of Sondheim's work has been fascinating and you know there are some more great versions yet to come. They won't have the hand of the maestro on them personally, but there are enough knowledgeable enthusiasts out there to make a great go of it. Here's hoping...
listening to this for the second time in a row I can really hear how Sondheim was using the repetitive phrasing to show how George was obsessing over being left, and his obsessive nature in general. The brief times when he breaks out of that--noticing the window, are also breaks in the repetitive melody that provide moments of space in his mental state.
BEAUTIFUL reference at the beginning with the random guy going up the stairs. Right as the Piano comes in before he sings the line "Finishing The Hat" for the first time the dude with the jacket says hello, but his form of doing so is by twirling his finger around his head a bit. It's a term called TIPPING THE HAT, I think. WHICH IS GENUIS.
We saw the show last week and it is the only Sondheim show that I hadn't ever seen I saw the PBS video of this production with the original cast. I was just so moved by this cast and the production. The leads were outstanding and the show is just so beautiful, a Sondheim gem. Jake and Annaleigh, you were outstanding.
Damn, Jake! I didn't think anyone could Manny Patinkin's intensity, but you come pretty close! I wouldn't be at all mad if you took off a year from acting on screen to return to the role of George.

man crushing hard on jake gyllenhaal.
Didn't know that Jake was such a good musical theatre performer. This guy CAN sing! WOW!
This is a side of Jake I haven't before. I'm impressed.
OMG. Jake Gyllenhaal CAN do it all. He can stop the tide.
his giggle.... what an angel
fuck man, he is AMAZING
5 years later and we're still patiently waiting for this amazing cast to come to London.
7, now. Still waiting.

Jake as George will forever have my heart
At the beginning when he says "I get mesmerized by the strings" and sings "where am I?"...so adorable. ❤️
That little laugh and silence after the number ends is so true. When you make a beautiful piece of music with someone and then when you finish the magic just makes you speechless
his voice is so soothing

What an experience. I dream of seeing him do live theather.
@@mistyblueeyes4024he's coming back to Broadway in 2025...
Does anyone else get chills when he hits that “there’s a part of you” run? Because I’ve listened to this a dozen times and it still gets me
What time is it at?
@@caradomings5777 3:00
jake is impeccably amazing. perfect
Unbelievable!
This man has such a voice!
He can act, sing and do comedy And Drama
He's a consummate performer
Why hasn't he won an Oscar?
Bravo!
🙂😀
He has a BAFTA and several other awards. Eventually he'll get a Tony and an Oscar, too.
He's so insanely versatile.
"I get mesmerized by the strings and I'm like" *says in sing songy voice* "where am IIII" IM CRYING THR BEGINNING
Briana Rowe SAME SAME!!
what an incredibly talented guy! Brilliant under-rated actor, too
Elphienfiero1 he’s not underrated though
Because of broke back mountain
How did I not know he could sing so well? Not just well, but expressively. My jaw is on the floor.
I absolutely LOVE Jake’s performance!!
I love how this whole musical is just observing life as it passes him by as George paints.
Oh he has a lovely voice. I would have loved to see him live ...
I was today years old when I discovered Jake could sing!
I had just had a baby and wasn't able to get down to NYC to see this amazing production. I'm still a little sad about that, but the kid was worth it. I hope they filmed it. Jake channels Mandy's performance beautifully while still making it his own.
Now we just need him to play Sweeney so he can be the madman that we all know he actually is.
sweeny todd right?
omg YES
It’s too bad he’s a tenor :/
Maybe he does have the range tho
Ive just never seen him sing that low

RIP Sondheim. Easily one of the most influential composers of this century and some! This music is going to hit differently for a while
It's 2017 and I'm just finding out he could sing...the hell.
got to see this and he was amazing!
2018 for me
Ummm...as much as I love Mandy, Jake's voice is smoother. Love it!
Me too 😅

What a wonderful statement and sentiment! the kindness and appreciation of your words have made my day! x

his voice and the orchestra are so beautiful, i really started crying
Now I want Cary Fukunaga to make a "Sunday in the Park with George" movie with Jake Gyllenhaal.
RIGHT!
Rest In Peace. Stephen Sondheim. Thank you for the music.

This is so good
Really done well... the song is not easy to do, Jake has sharp ears to do this song impeccably. L O V E this
I was lucky enough to see the production. He was phenomenal in the role and sang the difficult score beautifully.
I love the sound of this song with all the instruments and of course the amazing voice. He killed it especially at 2:50 ;-)...the play will be great
It's not a play, it's a musical
Between Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jake Gyllenhaal, Spider-Man: Far From Home could have easily been a musical.
Jedd the Jedi I think you mean should
@@evenflow5491 Yes indeed!
Can Holland actually sing tho?
@@dracomalfoy4438 He probably can. He played as Billy Elliot, which is one of the hardest (if not the hardest) roles for any youth actor to play.
Jedd the Jedi I agree
That song is so hard and he made it look effortless. DAYUM!
omg!! Jake is perfect!! 😍😍😍❤
gabuchycooper why, thank you, he's my husband
Hey! Back off, he’s mine lol 😂
Lyrics: 0:40
Yes, she looks for me, good
Let her look for me to tell me why she left me
As I always knew she would
I had thought she understood
They have never understood
And no reason that they should
But if anybody could
Finishing the hat
How you have to finish the hat
How you watch the rest of the world
From a window
While you finish the hat
Mapping out a sky
What you feel like, planning a sky
How you feel when voices that come
Through the window, go
Until they distance and die
Until there's nothing but sky
And how you're always turning back too late
From the grass or the stick
Or the dog or the light
How the kind of woman willing to wait
Not the kind that you want to find waiting
To return you to the night
Dizzy from the height
Coming from the hat, studying the hat
Entering the world of the hat
Reaching through the world of the hat
Like a window
Back to this one from that
Studying a face
Stepping back to look at a face
Leaves a little space in the way like a window
But to see, it's the only way to see
And when the woman that you wanted goes
You can say to yourself, well, I give what I give
But the woman who won't wait for you knows
That however you live
There's a part of you always standing by
Mapping out the sky
Finishing a hat,
Starting on a hat
Finishing a hat,
Look I made a hat
Where there never was a hat
Myles Hoglund thanks 💜
Completely amazing!!!
Hello may I know if what is the title of this ?
@@athenaelizaga7755 Finishing the Hat
This dude is awesome
I'm sitting here with my jaw on my lap... I'm floored.
I'm now pregnant. Thanks Jake!!
I can't get enough of this song. It's a wonderfully complex and emotional composition
My goddd just find this video from a comment on twitter, Jake is so good at singing 🖤
Holy fuck Jake you r wonderful in everything you do
imagine being as succesful as jake gyllenhaal... like he's been in movies since around the 1990's,, then he got into musicals and even made it into the movie far from home- *alexa play succesful by ariana grande*
What a delightful surprise. Jake is so endlessly entertaining. This performance is a total eye-opener!!
i'm so amazed by this man. he's crazy talented.
I've been smiling for 3:53 min straight...
Damn how I love this guy his amazing
Just watched the bit on Jimmy Fallon with Jake... Talking about his dog...
And then this song... had to check it out...
Beautiful voice Jake ❤️
Definitely invoking Mandy Patinkin here. An excellent rendition. I wish I had seen this live!
i am so obsessed with this i cannot stop coming back to this video

Yes!
He is definitely gorgeous
Brilliant rendition. Beautifully shot. Love it !!!
I could listen to him sing all day, his voice is perfect💕

Literally stepping onto the stage.

Bahah! I forgot I commented here 2 years ago. So much nervous energy in the boy I used to be. Keep going, dude. You're gonna be okay

I'm blown away. That was beautiful.
i literally watch this every other day
The first performance of his that I can actually watch over and over
I just pass by this video from time to time. It´s Gold hearing him sing.
Damn, Jake! I didn't think anyone could Manny Patinkin's intensity, but you come pretty close! I wouldn't be at all mad if you took off a year from acting on screen to return to the role of George.
jesus this gives me goosebumps every dang time!!!!!
Whenever I upset, saw this video, and just feel good. Jack's too awesome in his voice totally emotional, love you jack 😍
Please bring this to the UK. I would love to see jake on stage.
Dream coming true June 2020!!!!
My fav part is when the upright bass player (in the background behind Jake) plays a big note... shrugs... looks at watch. 2:30
Gyllenhaal and Fukunaga. One word: hotness!
Ok, I’m today old when I learned he can sing like this!
He should've been Sepastian in La La Land.
Maybe he'll play the part on stage.
I have been saying the exact same thing since that movie came out!!!
I dont think he dances tho, whereas Ryan has a lot of dance experience...
Sarah Venable I personally think La La Land would translate horribly to a stage musical but that’s just my opinion
@Piru Piru I would like to see Jake and Anne doing musicals. They also have great chemistry as Emma and Gosling.
Wow I had no idea you could sing so sick man. Jake you are swag and awesome 👏. Thank you for sharing your many talents dear. 🤗
Wow he has just proven he is great at everything!
this made me break down and weep
I love him sm I’m crying 🥺💕💗💖💞💓
A modern man singing an old song....whew! Blew my mind.
tsering jyrwa I feel that he is kinda old fashion... That's lovely!
This gives me alot of emotional feels
Reciting the Wisdom of A Facetious Modern Maestro.
Rest In Peace, Stephen Sondheim.
RIP, Stephen Sondheim! 😭💔
Jake Gyllenhaal is the best
Beautiful voice. Had no idea he could sing like that…..
Coming here to listen to Mysterio/Quentin Beck sing
I love musicals 😍
This was.....just fantastic. Great job Jake G!
This is wonderful
Can we talk about how well cary filmed this?? My mans is gonna direct the crap outta bond
beautiful! he's an amazing singer ❤ I want to see this live.
Was anyone going to tell me that Jake Gyllenhaal could sing, or was I always supposed to find out from a RUclips video?
Can't stop watching this video! I love it too much
Beautiful.
I would never have believed Gyllenhaal had such chops. If only they'd make a full-length movie. If only.
