I don't care what you say - none of those Broadway divas could dance for four solid minutes and then end the song belting in perfect straight tone. She is The Triple Threat of Broadway.
My goodness. The pitching, the phrasing and diction, the use of her air in multiple ways (vibrato, on-spot colocation of the notes, singing long sentences); the 4 minute, beautifully-executed dance, yet more immediate great singing for another 30 seconds like she just hadn´t done a hell of a dancing, just to end it all with a final 10 seconds high, sustained, belted note.... Thats what I call condition!!! This woman is extraordinary!!!
4:07 - Sailor Boy bends down to pick up a very dangerous something from the floor. This is an example of pure professionalism. Didn't miss a beat. Bravo!
Drew Messmann I have watched this countless times and I haven’t picked that up until. It really shows how well these actors can play little mistakes off.
When they go from the straight lines to the diagonals, that's why I love the theater. Every time I see that it puts a grin on my face. So simple and yet it's perfectly executed.
I prefer this version, though recorded illegally, to the one at the Tony's. It's more complete and thrilling with the various dance groupings and the entire song. Ms. Sutton Foster and cast are incredible!
I hate that people are constantly comparing Sutton in this role to Patti Lupone. Both are BRILLIANT performers, and both play the role so different that I honestly don't think that it does either justice to compare
@@ShonaBlumeneau it’s the same role but completely different styles Pattis was focused on her incredible voice and not so much her dancing And Sutton’s was focused on her voice and and dancing Both women are incredible and did way more than was expected of them They were just asked to do different things so I don’t really think it’s fair to judge when their songs look completely different I prefer Sutton’s but in no way is it better than pattis just like how pattis isn’t better than Sutton’s They are just so different
@@1amSam Sutton's breath control is incredible - those long phrases all done in one breath - also at the end after several minutes of energetic dancing. I've never heard any other singer show similar control!
what an amazing world we live in, such vibrant production exists with lively instrumentals and world class singers. foster has dedicated her life to performing, just to exist within this space being able to experience such an amazing rendition is a blessing. how anyone can not be filled with joy i dont understand. have a good day everyone❤
Saw it in previews. Easily Sutton's greatest performance and thought the show was wonderful...probably one of the best revivals ever and far better than the 1987 production.
What I love about this, is that the individual moves aren't really that hard. There are hard moves here and there, but what's show stopping about it isn't the moves themselves. It's the incredible timing, formations and noise of the things. It shows that sometimes simple is best. Being in time is more important and more impressive than being able to do 50 wings in a row.
Saw this live and honestly the rest of the show is so dated but when this number ended the entire theater erupted and my jaded gay heart sang with glee!!!
I had to the amazing fortune to come out from CA and see Miss Foster's final performance! It was amazing! It was actually perfection. She got a standing ovation four times throughout the show! I did NOT leave dissapointed! :) Sutton IS Broadway :)
Este es el mejor espectáculo de Broadway que he visto en mi vida.... ¡¡¡ESTO SÍ ES CLAQUÉ!!! los españoles estamos a años luz de poder realizar un espectáculo musical como este, y mucho menos encontrar un nivel tan bueno y tan clásico del claqué, cosa que en España (salvo excepciones :)) no existe...
It doesn't make sense when people say 'this person could outsing this person.. this person is better than this person'... Sutton and Patti have different styles and different voices. They are both true talents!
I know, I was THERE. I was there in '60's too- that was REAL quality and Sutton's skills take me back to that golden time. I love Porter's lyrics & with Patti LuPone good diction is not always a component. Certainly dance ( my area of focus) never was. Couldn't find your "quality" comment to respond to, sorry.
Saw this in December, had goose bumps this whole song... mind was literally blown that after that whole tap part, she went into that note at the end. ugh love it
I was lucky enough to see this in NYC. The show is a trifle, but getting to see Sutton perform this number and Blow, Gabriel Blow were worth the price of admission. She was truly outstanding! Someone please write another “triple threat” part for her, for that is when she truly shines!
@JoanBette: Anyone that has to use Joan Crawford and Bette Davis as their RUclips is boring, infantile, asinine and a trifle, but not a dessert. It’s a fun musical that epitomizes the 1930 musicals and I wish the original Reno, Ethel Merman, had won the Tony.
The Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center films every production during the run of the original cast. They can ily be seen by qualified researchers with letters from their department. I did research there when I was stung my graduate thesis at NYUs Tisch School of the Arts.
I was lucky enough to see this production with this cast. I am not a big fan of this musical in general. But this number. My God. As you can tell from this video, it was jaw-droppingly amazing. So fun to see it again!
lucky!!! i wanted to see her last performance but i did have the luck to see her on her last week. she was incredible and omg i was blown away by her performance.
vincentvangogodancer there is a vid like that with Johnathan Groff in one of his performances he stares at a camera for a good 10 seconds and it makes you feel really guilty for watching the video 😂😂
Funny how 14 dislikes only appeared after one poster started spamming negative and ludicrous comments. Sutton has no ear? !! She uses vibrato when appropriate and when she straight tones, she is right on pitch. And, her phrasing is perfect. Love how they come to performances they dislike and post again and again.
I wish i had seen it with Sutton. I saw it yesterday, and it was amazing, Joel Grey was great (as expected) and Tari as Reno was great. I was surprised not to see Stephanie J Block (seeing as she took over). But it was still FANTASTIC. i would love to see it again.
Wow-what you missed ! You will NEVER comprehend your loss. Saw it twice- wish Sutton & original cast was back so I could see it again. It's gonna be awhile before she's back on Broadway.
as someone playing the part of Billy in an upcoming performence of "Anything Goes" I would love to have the oppertunity to act alongside Ms Foster as she is without a doubt a Delightful, a Delicious, a Delectable honour to watch perform. ove you Sutton keep up the amazing work!
They already did, back in the 50's- different script, some changes in music, orchestrations different, etc. They have presented so many different stagings of this and because it's such a great piece, they're all unique ( pretty good considering it's 79 years old).
There's also a 1936 filming with Ethel Merman, which isn't exactly a thrill - but it at least (mostly) follows the plot and score of the original. The 1950's version is ... well, I'll say it -- just Hollywood ruining another Broadway musical.
I think Sutton was a better Reno than Patti because I like the tone of her voice better, her sense of comedic timing is lightyears better than Patti's over-acting in my opinion, she can enunciate unlike Patti, doesn't overuse her vibrato which gives the song variety, leaving the singers out there wondering when she'll use it again, she is a dancer unlike Patti, and out of the two I'd say her voice fits the musical style of this shoe better. Patti's voice would be great for something like Sweeny Todd (again, she overacted and the accent was horrible) but Sutton rules this production. And for those people saying Sutton isn't as legendary as Patti - She has the same amount of Tony's in a shorter amount of time, unlike Patti she CAN do everything, and she's had some shows written with her in mind (Shrek, for example) too.
I don't think it's fair to compare them both because that's like comparing Tommy Tune to Bob Fosse lol (not that I have anything against Tommy) but I think both Patti and Sutton are amazing on their unique way and again i don't think it's fair to compare them.
Patti LuPone has given the best (according to my opinion) singing performance of this play, that i believe no one has given so far! But the truth is that Foster is an extremely good professional, she has a very very good voice, extremely good dancing skills, she is young, fresh, full of positive vibes ... in general she is a pro that will give great performances!
Lighten up ! And this will probably be all you have to enjoy from Ms. Foster on Broadway for a LONG time. She won't be back here for quite awhile if her new show is as good as it looks like it's gonna be. So we all have to suffer now.
She is not "flat," her straight tones are spot on pitch and add variety to judicious use of vibrato, instead of a continuous bray. And, this rendition also includes an ending verse not used in '87. Every other verse is there along with the extended tap number that stopped the show every night.
I am not embarrassed to say (well, maybe a little LOL) that when I saw the play, I couldn't take my eyes off him any time he was on stage. The tuxedo number itself was worth the price of admission.
they should do a movie from this musical so that the performers can actually rest after each number! i don't know how the hell they do it, it's unbelievable...
SIMPLY DIVOON...now..we know Sutton SINGS....but holy cow!...to dance the ENTIRE number is some kind of FABULOUS.....none of the others EVER do or cant do...but SUTTON DO!!!....Lupone has a thrilling voice..but yes....SUTTON THO.IS THE WHOOOOLE PACKAGE....brilliantly choreographed.....
@mmbr01rrf @mmbr01rrf I didn't recall seeing splits in either show (SJB or Sutton) and according to Stephanie, they didn't change any of the choreography for her. It's exactly the same routine as Sutton performed. The thing that really struck me about this show was how everyone looks like they're having so much fun. And @ 79 years old, Joel Grey is as sharp as ever. It's a contagiously fun experience.
@turkeypopcorn Series sold, Sutton was finished with her last matinee on March 11, and SJB took over on or around March 15. Check the Roundabout site. Series will be on ABCFamily and is filming now.
Where & when did you see her perform on stage ? I'm beyond 70 and last saw her live twice at the end of her career. While that was a treat, seeing Ms Foster as Reno on stage last year far exceeded that for me. Ms. Merman did not dance at all and ALWAYS froze her performance before opening, something Ms Foster does not do.
I wish I had gotten a chance to see her. Unfortunatley, I am about 1000 miles from NYC so that is nearly impossible. I only get up to NYC every few years. I actually made it up just a few weeks ago, but since Sutton wasn't in it anymore, I decided not too see it. The ones I did see were Wicked, Porgy and Bess, Sister Act, Spider-Man, and Avenue Q (Off-Broadway).
@zuzupetals1999 Definitely was a split or extreme extension during "The Gypsy in Me" number with the Lord Evelyn character in the Second act. A couple of faster ones occur in "Gabriel". And there is an interview with SJB where she states those were the only changes made. The interview was done just prior to her initial replacement job.
I agree. It just shows how far we have gone that some (like lifeinapan) consider this an adequate rendering of Porter's wit and genius. Maybe if he listened to some of Merman's recordings from the 1930s, they might get that one can sing loud and bold without hog-calling.
I don't care what you say - none of those Broadway divas could dance for four solid minutes and then end the song belting in perfect straight tone.
She is The Triple Threat of Broadway.

Thats what I call condition!!! This woman is extraordinary!!!
Her voice control is pretty damn amazing! I wish I could see her live.
And she’s a lovely sweetheart as well
All that and Pretty too. Phenomenal !!
I don't know anything about all that - though I wish I did ❤❤❤ - but she's got a damn good voice! And I ❤ her navy, wide leg pants 👖❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Patti LaPone's singing is better. Sutton Foster is a better dancer.
4:07 - Sailor Boy bends down to pick up a very dangerous something from the floor. This is an example of pure professionalism. Didn't miss a beat. Bravo!
Drew Messmann it was probably a screw from his tap shoe // the single most dangerous thing on any group dance
Amen and congrats to that!!!
Drew Messmann I have watched this countless times and I haven’t picked that up until. It really shows how well these actors can play little mistakes off.
Conspiracy: the dancer at 3:01 slipped due to a loose screw and it was picked up by the other dancer at 4:07. They are so damn professional.
@@xenia5188 Whoa, I've watched this like 12 times and never noticed that. I'd bet yo'ure right!
what i like about this dance specifically is that it shows that tap dancing is not only a form of dance, but its also a form of music in it's own way.
When they go from the straight lines to the diagonals, that's why I love the theater. Every time I see that it puts a grin on my face. So simple and yet it's perfectly executed.
yes!!!
I prefer this version, though recorded illegally, to the one at the Tony's. It's more complete and thrilling with the various dance groupings and the entire song. Ms. Sutton Foster and cast are incredible!
I'm glad this thief "stole" it.
I know this comment was from a while ago, but now there’s a professional recording of the show 😀 I’m excited to be able to watch it whenever.
@@jprostar8768 ITS ON RUclips NOW! Want the link?
@@MoltedRoblox Absolutely!
@@MoltedRobloxomg can you send the link pls
I hate that people are constantly comparing Sutton in this role to Patti Lupone. Both are BRILLIANT performers, and both play the role so different that I honestly don't think that it does either justice to compare
But it's two actresses playing the exact same role...why would you not compare them? I think it's fine to say one was better than the other.
@@ShonaBlumeneau it’s the same role but completely different styles
Pattis was focused on her incredible voice and not so much her dancing
And Sutton’s was focused on her voice and and dancing
Both women are incredible and did way more than was expected of them
They were just asked to do different things so I don’t really think it’s fair to judge when their songs look completely different
I prefer Sutton’s but in no way is it better than pattis just like how pattis isn’t better than Sutton’s
They are just so different
@@1amSam Sutton's breath control is incredible - those long phrases all done in one breath - also at the end after several minutes of energetic dancing. I've never heard any other singer show similar control!
And that's how it's done ladies & gents. You cannot tell in her singing that she just tapped her ass off for 5 minutes. I'm tired just watching!
I honestly watch this video three times a day if not more
Bree Thomas me tooooooooo
#Same
These 8 minutes alone were worth the price of the ticket. Damn, Kathleen Marshall. Damn.
some of the most quintessential moments in B'way history
Got my tickets to see Sutton play Reno in London. Cannot wait to see this number live!!
There’s a reason she won a Tony for this performance… and this is IT! 😍
what an amazing world we live in, such vibrant production exists with lively instrumentals and world class singers. foster has dedicated her life to performing, just to exist within this space being able to experience such an amazing rendition is a blessing. how anyone can not be filled with joy i dont understand. have a good day everyone❤

Her stage presence is just amazing! I wish I had the chance to see her in this.
Same here. I really wish I could have seen her play this role.
Come to London! Just saw her last Saturday 😍
Saw it on Saturday- totally smitten😍😍
What I love about this, is that the individual moves aren't really that hard. There are hard moves here and there, but what's show stopping about it isn't the moves themselves.

the coordination, the expression, the synchronization, the execution...superb!
Finally someone says it
I would just like to point out that after doing that long ass tap number, Sutton sings her own verse and hits that crazy note with PERFECTION.
That Tony for Best Choreo was well deserved!! I could watch 4:20-4:50 on repeat!
This number is just so impressive in every way. Exhilarating Broadway entertainment.
How the fuck is she singing let alone BELTING after that dance number, a true musical theatre goddess
One of the greatest numbers on Broadway ever! And good lord, Sutton Foster! She must be able to do that in her sleep! Ugh so fab!
I love how they took an old musical from 1934 and breathed new life into it!!!
Saw this live and honestly the rest of the show is so dated but when this number ended the entire theater erupted and my jaded gay heart sang with glee!!!
That last note man :O Shes unstoppable
I had to the amazing fortune to come out from CA and see Miss Foster's final performance! It was amazing! It was actually perfection. She got a standing ovation four times throughout the show! I did NOT leave dissapointed! :) Sutton IS Broadway :)

it’s official : i’m in love with Sutton Foster

What a MASTERPIECE!!
I can't say no whenever Sutton Foster's Anything Goes comes out to my recommendation 😩
Ive watched this so many times. Whoever filmed this, I’ll buy you a pint x

I've shared this video, and I always preface with "Believe me when everyone on stage will be dancing at one point."
This was recorded on a cellphone, wow.. impressed.
Great vocals.. also impressed. No official recording? grr what are we the 1920s
There is an official recording, just not video :P

Just finished closing night of this show at my hign school. What a show to be a part lf. Sad its over but emjoyed it sooo much!
breathtaking! it makes me choke up with tears, so wonderful!
What's that about no camera or recording devices in the theatre? Glad you did it anyway...What fun!
I died when she made eye contact
lucky!!! i wanted to see her last performance but i did have the luck to see her on her last week. she was incredible and omg i was blown away by her performance.
The name is Foster and she was done in March. If she EVER comes back to Broadway and you get a chance to see a performance of hers- SEE IT !
I just love this woman! She's incredible, goosebumps!
She looks right at your camera at 0:08. She knew you were recording!

Wow-what you missed ! You will NEVER comprehend your loss. Saw it twice- wish Sutton & original cast was back so I could see it again. It's gonna be awhile before she's back on Broadway.

@cokebottlelenses Sutton Foster is a highly trained singer. She studied breath control training for years
If I had seen this love I would have pissed my damn pants. AMAZING!!
Saw this last night in San Francisco with Rachel York as Reno and it was fantastic!
Sutton and the cast is better than anything that has come beforehand, including Patti and Elaine. It leaves you exhilarated and exhausted.
I think Sutton was a better Reno than Patti because I like the tone of her voice better, her sense of comedic timing is lightyears better than Patti's over-acting in my opinion, she can enunciate unlike Patti, doesn't overuse her vibrato which gives the song variety, leaving the singers out there wondering when she'll use it again, she is a dancer unlike Patti, and out of the two I'd say her voice fits the musical style of this shoe better.

I really want to learn this dance now!!!
the best voice out there.
She is not "flat," her straight tones are spot on pitch and add variety to judicious use of vibrato, instead of a continuous bray. And, this rendition also includes an ending verse not used in '87. Every other verse is there along with the extended tap number that stopped the show every night.

What else can you say about Sutton Foster she’s every man’s dream she’s so phenomenally beautiful and so talented I could watch her all day perform
