Doing the sapphics a real service with this. I tried looking for a gay version of this song years ago and the best I got was someone singing about her goddaughter and another who changed the name to Mario - it was not it
Ariana DeBose sang a version at live at Birdland in 2019. Posted on RUclips by BroadwayGirlNYC. It’s an audience video but I liked it. Check it out!!!!
Highly recommend you also check out ""Maria" -West Side Story Samantha Williams"!!!!!
ruclips.net/video/y21TTfykE-E/видео.html this is one of my fav covers of the song :)
I love the fact that she puts the words and emotion ahead of purity of vocal line. She brings out colours and texture I have never encountered in the song before. Was it the perfectly sung as an art song? No. Was it authentic to the moment and thus beautiful? Absolutely.
That's notable when I saw her in Kimberly Akimbo. Yes, she has a great voice. But her delivery of lines as well as music is pitch-perfect and organic. She's a total star.
Nothing can ever be "perfectly" sung, because perfection is an illusion that artists(and others) chase in vain. It simply isn't possible.

I was blown away. Bonnie has such amazing control of her voice. And the emotion she puts into every syllable. A singer can make a perfectly written song sound amazing every time. But it takes a true artist to hold you spellbound while they create an entire world of wonder and feeling.
She brings something magnificent and deep to a song I didn't realize I could love so much. Wow! 😍
WOW! She aced it! Now I want to see an all girl WSS.
She sings with her eyes, as well as her voice. You can't do better than that.
I was there for this performance. So rare to experience a woman sing this song. She made my heart sing!!!!!!
You give me chills. The long power note and resolution at 1:52 - 1:59 is stunning. Thank you Bonnie. I'm a big fan. xxxx
Bonnie is a queen. If you havent seen her in kimberly akimbo yet, she will blow your mind!
Bonnie is so incredibly talented.❤
Bonnie never misses. Wonderful.
I find Bonnie’s version of “Maria” very romantic. Like a serenade for Maria’s like me! 😉😊

Betty Buckley does a wonderful version of MARIA on her “Ah, Men” album, which is also her recent Sondheim tribute album.
“How hard do you want this to hit?”
“Yes”
So this lady can just sing everything, yeah? Yeah...
Why is this page called "Broadway Backwards?"
So, in West Side Story this song is sung by a man. So it's gender bent casting basically
Like the previous commenter said, Broadway Backwards features gender bent performances of classic Broadway songs
I wanna hear sing legit and not just belt!
What can't she do???
I don’t like this at all. Her sound is very forced and she’s not singing in the right style I feel. Also, quite flat at points…
