"The first musical she did, where she didn't die" OH god
"Her version of 'speaking' is belting an F"
"She glares at them with her voice." Why we love Patti!
She is actually singing note for note what Cole Porter wrote. The octave choices, vibrato, etc are all in the score. (I just finished doing the show and preforming this number :) If you listen to the horn section, so much of what is written vocally mimics the horn lines. In the section - "once i was headed for hell" some low brass is doing the same legato or pulled out note as she is. Patti knows this, and is a brass player herself, so she is singing like she is IN the band blending and playing like a horn player (not on top of them). (in a song about a horn!) This is one of the most beautifully arranged jazz swing scores out there. There's a reason most of Cole Porter's tunes are jazz standards - they swing! Thanks for such an awesome video :)
"Listen to my N! I went to Juilliard training" 😂
I honestly can't even understand how much sound comes out of her mouth. Every time she opens her mouth I can't believe it.
ive never heard someone say she has bad diction but honestly her diction is so extra its the best
I will never stop watching these deconstructions.
I've always been so obsessed with that sassy chorus member! I was so thrilled to know that Seth was as well haha
His facial expressions are so funny! I can learn so much from his critique! He is brilliant with his breakdown of this performance.
What's with all these people hating on the Patti Howl!? I thought she sounded fantastic in Anything Goes. In fact, that's my favorite cast recording of the show! Patti has done SO many cabaret performances in which she doesn't belt or "shout", I suggest going to check those out before saying that she only screams.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. The dance routine in the Sutton revival is golden
BLOODY HELL PATTI HAS A VOICE LIKE A WHOLE HORN SECTION
I keep seeing people's comments like "she screams, yells her face off, etc". Do people not realize that she just has this mammoth voice by nature? In opera, she would have been a dramatic mezzo - there's enough pure force to knock you straight off your feet, and she's been doing it for 40+ years without a hint of having to stop. She sings that way because it suits her voice, not because she thinks it'll tick you off a bit.
Also - Patti made it to Broadway well before body mics were standard. You used to get the job because you could sing to the back row and last 8 shows a week! Body mics have changed everything about the technique.
At my school we did How to Succeed and Anything Goes... the same person played Ms. Jones and sang that random high note LMAO
The vibrato on 'here' is like gospel gold. Love Patti!
"the first musical she did where she didn't die" hahahaha
I'm playing Reno right now and the frikkin riff on "higher" is going to kill me I swear
I wonder if he ever found out who the guy in the chorus was who was "upstaging Patti in the best way".
i cannot express the amount of joy i experienced all throughout this deconstruction! one of my absolute favorite numbers by one of my favorite leading ladies... BRAVA SETH AND PATTI!
These are my comfort RUclips videos.
If Ethel Merman were alive, she'd say... "can we just sing the fucking song already?"
My husband does an awesome Merman imitation with her version. It is a stitch.
I've listened to this recording many times, but this video points out a ton of things I never noticed before. Great analysis--thanks!
I used to listen to this song over and over and over!
It reminds me of "Brotherhood of Man" with its revival zeal that starts with one person singing and ends with the whole company on their feet.
Seth, now that you did Patti, can you please do Sutton, and show the quality of the differences between the voices and the different arrangements??? Please and Thank you!
"listen to my n, i have julliard training"
I've always adored musicals; listening to you deconstruction, however, is the icing on the cake!
love, love love! this song is supposed to be BIG and she delivers!!
I must confess I've watched this video too many times to count. Love, love, love Patti and this video gives me life!
I just started watching these on RUclips and I have to say I'm in love with Seth
I listen to it just like Seth omg...
Fabulous! Thanks for this. I saw her. I directed/choreographed it twice in Scandinavia. I love your deconstructions!
This is one of the most entertaining clips I've watched on youtube in the past year (excluding NPH & PL in Company). Your hilarious & informative dissection is brilliant - thanks for the endorphin rush!
I love these videos and I wish Seth Rudetsky would continue to make them!!!
Brilliant. Thank you for the good time and education
YESSSSS!!! I was worried that the deconstructions weren't continuing and now they are even longer!!! Mr. Rudetsky inspires us with his contagious enthusiasm once again! love it!
You are fabulous! So smart and entertaining! Thank you!
omg I absolutely loved this!
A lot of what he is deconstructing of what Patti is singing comes straight from the 1963 score. Patti is actually singing the notes that are written.
I had a chance to hear many show tunes when I attended Millsaps College in Jackson, MS because Lehman Engel, the great Broadway musical conductor, bequeathed his whole album collection to our library. I remember his copy of the "Chitty Chitty, Bang Bang" soundtrack was autographed to him by Sally Ann Howes.
I loved your analysis of this!
This has always been one of my favorites from her. Loved your video and the great ear you have! :)
SchellyBelle e
I LOVE your videos...you are a very talented and hilarious!
UGH SO AMAZING! Seth, you are hilarious and this is a wonderful Patti-worthy deconstruction!
Seth, you're wonderful!
This is hysterical. Amazing!
That is brilliant!!!
Your are great at this. I don't know much about singing or music except for my dad who played guitar and accordion and sang Lara but you make this easy and so understandable for most of us. Thanks
I have to sing this song for a workshop I'm in right now. It's literally just me as Reno and then everyone else as, everyone else. The teacher trying to get me to sing it like patti! It's so hard!
I'm so obsessed with this now
Seth's hatred for the secretary from "How to Succeed..." just made my day.
I died at "Wrong show, Ms. Jones."
Amen, Kevin! I've been waiting for somebody to post the '62 revival forever. Eileen Rogers was GREAT.
A familiar door is opened, but what's behind it ???- A whole new life. I'm amazed, grateful and informed - Thank you so very much Don W
patti is amazing and seth i love u so much xxx :)
I did not know Patti was a smoker! Love your videos Seth!
Probably my favorite Patti performance :) awesome deconstruction Seth!
Oh Seth. You are absolutely marvellous. I'M obsessed. As for Patti, obsession has crossed over into possession. She's the greatest...
I was SO OBSESSED with this production-att, I saw Patti 6 times!!! (3 of them were a present for choosing to do an extra long Haftorah portion for my Bar Mitzvah!! 😂 ) as well as once with The Fabulous Leslie Uggams who was a brilliant replacement…. No production before or since has EVER come close! (I enjoyed Stephanie J. Block in the revival …..)
I got to see Patti in this production at Lincoln Center and it was a highlight of my B'way show experiences. She had such power.
I am so happy to have viewed this deconstruction because though I totally enjoy Patti''s voice, I was always confused by how and why she chooses to use it as she does......Thank you, Seth
THAT CHORUS GIRL I CANT
Seth completes my life.
When it comes to Anything Goes, there always seems to be so little love for the 1962 version which, while having fewer songs and a simpler plot, relies much less on showboating. Eileen Rogers as Reno gives just as intricate a vocal performance as Patti Lupone did twenty-five years later - plus, she did it in more vocally cumbersome keys and with a more subdued style rather than just belting her face off and carrying it with brass. I'd love to see a deconstruction comparing those two Renos.
I would love to hear the comparison as well. I'm a fan of this version as well.
Oh Lord honey, you are a treasure!
New deconstructions = ... Amazing
11:46 dat BRASS!!
..heading for Heeell - hell yeah!
Seth I am obsessed with you
10:05----- or the GUYS AND DOLLS Church Band Note Woman...(I can't remember the character's name), in "Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat" (the revival with Nathan Lane and Faith Prince...can't remember the year.)
Larissa Brewington General Cartwright...?
hahaha I love seth and patti she is just perfection and I love it cause shes so real and shes a diva hahahahahaha but I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side f her though hahaha remember the gypsy incident lols that shocked me so much but im over it now hahahaha anyway my point is shes brilliant BRAVA XXXXXXXXXX :D I LOVE U PATTI XXXXXX :)
OMG. I had to suscribe you are every gay man's best friend and or roommate, or other. Too good to be true! Enchanting. Magically lively and enjoying life with the beauty of true talent. I can't thank you enough for your videos. Don't hate me for being honest.
I think Cole Porter should get at least a little credit for the notes he wrote.
Ahhhh I don't know but now I'm panicked.
Sutton Foster!
Sutton Foster's dance captain from Anything Goes!!! (the brunette) :)
No one sings that song as great as Ethel Merman.
That high note is a gospel button on top....its an African American cultural influence probably added to the tune for color!
Seth... I really want you to meet Barbra Streisand!
I saw this production, it was at the Vivian Beaumont. It was dated (and not in a good way)
No one will ever top Ethel on this number!
3:44 sir you have nothing to say, sorry
Less coffee
seth lip synching makes everything better
Ever since we got SiriusXM in our new car, I've been listening to the Broadway channel. And Seth Rudetsky is one of the hosts. While I appreciate his wonderfully extensive knowledge of music and Broadway in general, I can only listen to him for so long. Why in hell doesn't someone tell him that speaking that fast is just annoying? And It's a damn shame, because we could all benefit from his insights.
Not a big fan of Lupone as Seth is. I think she's Ethel Merman louder and screamier. Always on the edge of glass shattering, pushing her tone and sounding very strained on her upper notes. Today's audiences love loud and high for noise's sake, as if subtle was a mortal sin. Ethel was loud but in her early days was in tune, rhythmically right on, and the perfect 30s musical voice, brassy but always musical. Patti seems to be always hitting you over the head with a vocal hammer, saying look, look how loud I can sing!
And just for the record, a lot of those notes he's so in love with are IN the score, not Patti's invention as he seems to indicate.
Let's give George Gershwin some credit.
I thought Cole Porter wrote the score. Did George Gershwin contribute to this song?
Yuki Onna I don't think Gershwin contributed. Mr. Kuwahara must have meant Cole Porter.
How about giving Cole Porter his due instead since Anything Goes is his baby not Gershwin's. BTW - Your nuts, Patti Lupone is amazing and a Broadway legend.
LYacky1 She's loud, I'll give her that and always pushes too hard. But most people these days think the louder the better.
tom kuwahara Yes she's loud, that we can definitely agree on. lol I don't necessarily think louder is better however properly trained actors & musicians learn very early in the art of projection. I curse the birth of the microphone which nowadays causes more harm than good. There is absolutely no need for every single person on stage to be miked especially in the smaller Broadway & off Broadway theatres. I digress though... I really just think Patti is a product of both her heritage and her training, hence the big voice. It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea and I respect that but to me, big belty voices is what Broadway is all about. Ethel Merman, Patti Lupone, and now this generations belters like Sutton Foster & Megan Hilty have voices that are meant for the musical stage.
Lupone is wonderfully talented but this is a considerable distant second to Merman.
OMG, another knockoff by Patti by the Greatest of all, Miss Ethel Merman. She seems to always be riding on Merman's coat tails. Yes, Patti is talented, but someone needs to write scores exclusively for you. And, Seth, you obviously haven't heard it done by the true queen, herself, back in 1977 at Carnegie.
Lol well Merman is dead. Patti will have to suffice.
The great thing about plays and musicals is that other artists can play the part. Merman was great....Patti is great. Great!
And Sutton Foster is amazing!!
