    Hi everyone - just wanted to take a quick moment to thank you all - I do love this video and this performance as much as you all do - it is, in my opinion, the greatest performance at any Tony Awards.
    I so regret not having seen GGLAM on or off Broadway, and when I do get to finally watch my first Broadway musical, this will have contributed a large part to my musical obsession!
    I never would have imagined that a bored teenager downloading his favourite performance from the 2014 Tonys would have led to this video being watched over 2 million times!! (Although I do think that about 500,000 of those views may have just come from me.) I randomly re-uploaded the video when it was taken down (or rather, geoblocked for those outside the US), and am glad it brings all of you as much joy as it brings me.

      Aw, I'm so glad I accidentally took a peek at the comment section coming back to my music tab this is so wholesome, glad you're still keeping an eye on it (and a little shocked lol)! Thank you so much for reuploading, this was the video that put GGLAM on my list for must-see musicals. This, even though it's short, is such an incredible production to witness with everybody on stage putting their absolute most into every part of the performance, thank you for putting it out there for the rest of us to enjoy it too ^^

      technically yes Monty is in this situation, but when everything is proper "the man can do no wrong" when technically he'd be cheating. however, he hadn't been engaged before this song. altho I think even if sibella had waited and married Monty I get feeling they'd be bad for eachother

      well sibella did ditch him for a rich guy so she could have station in life. she never imagined in her wildest dreams that the man she loves and uses for her pleasure actually would rise to be a ranking lord.
      while pheobe is a girl who loves him for who he is kind and brilliant.
      but yes this is great for the fact that hes trying to keep the girls seperate from each other.. and later they agree to share him one the mistress and the other the wife.. and both best friends.. the ultimate dream!

      james youngblood It’s kind of implied that Sibella has to marry the rich guy for her family, and considering Phoebe isn’t going to inherit any lofty family names and can marry for love, Sibella’s in a tough spot. She does love Monty a lot, though-she finds him smart and funny, wants the best for him, and they’ve known each other for a long time, as demonstrated when Monty says Sibella “teased him till he learned to skate”.

Also bear in mind that while we can see the whole stage, they can't see each other through the doors and are relying on the music alone to keep them in sync.

      He has taken a "leave of absence" from "Guide." Thought you might want to know this. Also just came back from "On The 20th Century" and DEFINITELY go see that. It was just about perfect (too long in some spots, seriously too long),

    One of the most original, creative, and mind-blowing productions I've seen on Broadway. It's not utilized much in this scene, but a projector illustrates much of the story behind the actors, including spirals when someone falls down a well! Also, watching one man play seven roles is absolutely mind-numbing. He just dies over and over again!! I could talk about this show for hours.

      Z Botello I don't know if Ed Norton could sing, but I could totally see him as Monty, since he's a frequent collaborator of Wes. Maybe Ralph Fiennes or Bill Murray for Jefferson May's roles? For the ladies, it'd have to be legit musical theatre performers though, as you can't really find comedic actresses with such lush soprano voices in Hollywood.

      Anna Kendrick as Phoebe, Cate Blanchett as Sibella (I know Cate is older and probably not a soprano, but she's so awesome she could give a mesmerize performance nevertheless), Neil Patrick Harris for Monty, and either JK Simmons, John Travolta or Kenneth Branagh as the relatives-in-one-guy

      I don’t think a movie version could be as funny or as genius, the whole thing of it is being a stage musical and it would be hard to convert some things (Eg. Airplane arms in idkwid, the choreo of IDTMY) and that’s what makes agglam. It’s just meant FOR stage! Plus, there’s kind hearts and coronets.
