Vivien confuses me so much because her singing role is so small throughout the whole show then at the end she has to whip out that incredible high note...
In her Obsessed! video with Seth Rudetsky, Kate talks about how that note was actually her idea. As she says, the Remix was her only real solo in the show, then it becomes an ensemble number, and Vivienne once again gets pushed into the background, so she wanted something to pull focus. And well, she's Kate f'in' Shindle, and she deserves it.
@@ameliamorgan2287 I believe the normal high note in the song is an A#5? But on the closing night of the show Kate Shindle took it up to a C6. I'm pretty sure a lot of the crazy stuff she does is a mix belt rather than just a belt which allows her to go so high.
@@georgejones6262 I still think it's incredible that she can go that high in a mix (also I'm pretty sure she's a mezzo?)! I'm a soprano and that'd be pure head voice territory for me.
@@ameliamorgan2287 Kate Shindle is genuinely on of the most underrated vocalists on Broadway in recent years. The fact that she goes from playing characters like Vivienne and The Mad Hatter with insanely high belt moments to the low alto sound of Alison in fun home is truly phenomenal to me. As for mixing, I'm all for it and think everyone should include some head voice into their belt - it's more sustainable and allows for higher and easier belting so it looks much more effortless on stage. Jessica Vosk is renowned as one of the best Elphabas and she spends most of the show in her mix but has worked on it so much that she can switch between pure belting, mix belting and pure mix without there being a noticeable difference.
The vibrato Kate puts on it demonstrates such authority and control over her voice. It doesn’t sound like she just threw her voice up there hoping for the best. She’s in control.
It was planned. She said that the high note wasn't on the score. Apparently she didn't have any solos and the beginning was the only part she sang by herself. But the whole cast joins in after and she wanted to stand out and during rehearsals she hit that high note. The creators liked it and the rest is history 😀
Kate Shindle's note is what actually sparked the memory of me watching the Legally Blonde Musicl when it aired on MTV. Years later, I searched for the musical on RUclips with this this climax in mind! Crazy! Kate has the best voice hands down!
Kate duh! This show is a perfect example that the OBC was never improved upon. Where shows like Wicked, BoM, phantom have all had new talent bring something special to the role.
Sarah Stewart Yes but the note she hit for a few seconds is higher than what the regular note would’ve been in the original key. She could’ve hit the normal note in the normal key
To go up to the higher, more impressive note. Riffing up is always impressive, especially when it’s that high. It’s good showmanship. The audience doesn’t know the key is lowered (unless they intimately know the score) and it allows the actress to go higher than the original all while telling the audience she is in fact going higher.
This was actually during the curtain call. After they bow, they all sing a reprise of the remix and for some reason it's written in a lower key than the one earlier in the show. She probably did a version in the original key, but they weren't able to find a video of or odds are.
0:25 The best by far. She probs isn't the cleanest tho. 0:54 The one with the most funniness 1:02 One of my favs. Her diction is so good 1:18 The cleanest voice here 1:33 Ooh I actually love this!!!!! 1:45 Cute, and I love how she kicked it up a notch 2:04 A very clean rendition 2:15 She just sounds like Elle Woods 2:27 I can barely hear but from what i hear it's good 2:44 I like how she says "blooonnndeeee" 2:58 Yesss queen slay!! 3:08 Good, just bland 3:23 I love her deep voice 3:36 Super good acting 3:49 YES QUEEN!!!! 4:03 Her voice is impressive 4:15 I like what I hear 4:31 Go girl!!! 4:42 The screen omg 4:58 I love what I hear 5:10 Kate Shindle is back yayyyyy
Kate killed it!! 😍 The first time I saw the version of Legally Blonde with Kate and Laura I died when Kate hit that note!!! I’ve watched this version of the musical over 20 times now and I still can’t get over it!!!
Emma Hearn will forever and always have my heart as a girl who has Texas State as one of her top colleges. (She did her performance at Texas State University btw)
Who sang the "Creep" ( by Radiohead) Bridge the best and Who sang the "Don't Cry Fro Me Argentina" Climax the best. Also I'm literally became a "Broadway Baby" thanks to this channel. I'm obsessed with it
That school always has such great videos and productions + students. I love seeing them all in different roles throughout their years in college. Its really cool. Everyone should check them out
i am so obsessed with kate shindle!! she is amazing!! that note she hits at the end of the remix just blows me away everytime and i play over and over again cause she is amazing!
In that same song, the character belts the word 'bond'. I have no idea what note it is but Kate did it wonderfully, I'd love to see a comparison of that note too! Great video btw
I just got Vivienne in Legally Blonde Jr. at my highschool, which is awesome because I'm only a freshman. I hope I get to keep this note, because I think it's only optional in the Jr. version. I think I can hit it, but I've never tried.
Yeah, my school definitely can't compete with these notes. But I have to say that the girl/my friend who played Elle was pretty close! The songs in this musical are so freaking high...I'm glad that Chutney had no song.
Can you possibly do,"Who did Turn it Off the best?" If you don't know which part I'm talking about, it's the part where McKinley sings,"Turn it oOFf." Then the ensembles go,"like a light switch on a cord." You don't have to, but I would appreciate if you did! You are amazing! :)
I played in my high schools Musical performance as a violin in the pit and on the last day, when The actor playing Vivien Sang that amazing high note I started crying as I was playing LMAO
Listen im sure they’re all wonderful but there is something about Kate that when she hits that note i grin like an idiot and my whole brain goes “time to lose our shit!!” It’s so good i watch her on repeat and i have the same guttural reaction every time.

Vivien confuses me so much because her singing role is so small throughout the whole show then at the end she has to whip out that incredible high note...
I think that was intentional. In this song her opinion of Elle completely changes which is where the big passionate note comes in
She actually added in the note during rehearsals and the directors loved it which is why it stayed in.
Alex R *vivienne
@@anna-michellecourshon505 she doesnt HAVE to do the note, but its helpful
probably the main character could not hit the note

Jason C. Parker yeah well she certainly gave a challenge to any future vivienne
I saw that same video. She’s incredible.
No one beats Kate Shindle.
HiMyNameisPeter I couldn’t agree more
Idk, it sounds way better on the cast album, but the way Kate went into the riff at the beginning was a little iffy.
right! also her in wonderland!!
1000th like
Seriously. It's effortless.
idk if anybody else does this but every time i hear kate shindle hit that c6 my eyes well up with tears of joy
same man
C6?!?? There's no way it's that high... *how* can you belt up there

Kate Shindle and to be honest the energy of that entire cast look astoundingly high...what an entrance!!!!!

Props to all of them for hitting that note, but the energy of the cast really puts Kate Shindle's on top for me

any one who can hit this note remotely successfully had my respect
Kate just had THAT POWER WHEN SHE ENTERED. Voice is fab, but it’s more of the stage presence that does it for me.
YAS! 3:48 Emma Hearn! So glad I got to strut next to you girl.
Tori Gresham u did amazing too
I saw your Performance on RUclips you're great!!
Hi Tori! You made an awesome Elle! I was Margot in 2019(I was 8ish)

Kate Shindle's performance makes me so happy for some reason
Kate duh! This show is a perfect example that the OBC was never improved upon. Where shows like Wicked, BoM, phantom have all had new talent bring something special to the role.
3:28 OK homegirl could definitely hit that note so why was it it lowered
She did hit it but only for a few secs. Lol. Kate Shindle did it the best.

I don’t understand how people in HIGH SCHOOL productions can belt an Ab5 live like that with vibrato 🤯
1:35 was really good, especially for what appears to be a school production!
Is no one going to talk about Emma Hearn i love her.
Arden Elle same
She’s a GEM

Great video btw
It's a C5
@@kidkrowtaylor.ৎ Thank you! Been a while but it's nice to come back to this video.
4:38 i lol'd at how Callahan was singing, too
It was too catchy
I just got Vivienne in Legally Blonde Jr. at my highschool, which is awesome because I'm only a freshman. I hope I get to keep this note, because I think it's only optional in the Jr. version. I think I can hit it, but I've never tried.
How did it go?
@@MysteriousGirl10 really good :D we’re actually coming up on the Sound of Music auditions now! Going for Liesl 😄
Oh and I did do the high note 😏
@@boorish8354 I'm jealous. Your school does cool musicals.

belle garcia What part did you get?
Churian xX I play the store manager and one of the professors so not really a main role

KATE SHINDLE DUH SNAPS!!
Kate Shindle is such a BEAST!!!
Me before even watching the video "Kate Shindle"
Yeah, my school definitely can't compete with these notes.
But I have to say that the girl/my friend who played Elle was pretty close! The songs in this musical are so freaking high...I'm glad that Chutney had no song.
Navia as a former chutney, girl me too lmao
My bestie played Vivienne and my other bestie played Elle! They both said it was soooo much fun!
I love how you could play almost any female role in this show and get to belt your face off- I HOPE my school does this show!!!
Kates closing night C6 was incredible
Would love to see who did All For The Best from Godspell the best!
Can you possibly do,"Who did Turn it Off the best?" If you don't know which part I'm talking about, it's the part where McKinley sings,"Turn it oOFf." Then the ensembles go,"like a light switch on a cord."
You don't have to, but I would appreciate if you did! You are amazing! :)
Besides Kate Shindle, I really like Sobihan Dillon
Kate Shindle was Miss America 1998 and played Delia in Beetlejuice the musical
Leslie Kritzer (original Broadway Serena in Legally Blonde) was the original Delia, are you maybe mixing them up? I don't think Kate also played her.
There’s a clip of Kate hitting a C6
i don't understand how kate shindle isn't more well-known because holy shit, she really went for that C6 at the end??
Kate, hands down.
Props to phoebe coupe wow, especially by yourself that takes guts. That was so perfect
I played in my high schools Musical performance as a violin in the pit and on the last day, when The actor playing Vivien Sang that amazing high note I started crying as I was playing LMAO
Literally in this vid and still 100% support Kate Shindle as being the most impressive by far
imma say th8s I love Kate but anyone who is at Texas State university had my heart and choice
YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
My top 2:
1.Kate Shindle
2.Ali Galder; Sobihan Dillon; Suzie McAdam
KATE ALL DAY!!!
Ali Calder hands down. Effortless 😍
Kate Shindle for sure!
Who is that Phoebe Coupe? WOW!!!
Kate shindle no doubt
At the beginning when the instrumental version plays it reminds me of the Charlie Brown song
do something with rent
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Listen im sure they’re all wonderful but there is something about Kate that when she hits that note i grin like an idiot and my whole brain goes “time to lose our shit!!” It’s so good i watch her on repeat and i have the same guttural reaction every time.
kate shindle!
have you done a video in the ending at the ballet note from a chorus line?
Kate, Ali and Phoebe for me!
I'm a mezzo but Vivien is still my dream role
0:22
Obviously Kate, but brava to all of them (especially my beautiful friend Charlotte Harwood!)
No one beats Kate’s vibrato and that’s the tea☕️(Phoebe was also good)
Kate Shindle!!
You should do a who sung the Astonishing, from Little Women, climax the best!!!
Kate Shindle, Ali Calder, and Megan Lewis were all great vocally! But, anyone who can hit that note is impressive to me
Vibrato really makes it!
No contest... Kate shindle bonus 😍😍😍
