They brought out the heavy hitters! Sutton Foster, Patti Lupone AND Audra McDonald! No wonder Meryl Streep looks like she's died and gone to heaven. She's sitting next to Barbara Cook and watching Broadway royalty on stage. It doesn't get much better than that.
How dare Lupone still sound that fabulous after 40 years of belting the hell out of Broadway and Audra is incandescent. What a finale. Bernstein at his best
This is the best of the Kennedy Center Honors tributes to a Broadway performer that I've seen so far. And you could see the level of talent that turned out to honor the peerless Barbara Cook - God, Laura Osnes, Rebecca Luker, Kelli O'Hara, Glenn Close, Sutton Foster, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, all performing sincerely and at the top of their form on the same stage. No wonder the (always appreciative and peerless) Meryl Streep was crying. It was better than the tribute to her haha.
Meryl cried because it was heartwarming not because she was jealous. You can see how she always look over to Barbara every after song. No need to put down other awardee.
In my opinion, this is the best musical tribute of all the Kennedy Center Honors. It's my favorite. The seamless unfolding of these super-talented women vocalists brought a beauty, brightness, and magical quality that is spellbinding. As others here note, Meryl Streep, Yo Yo Ma, Neil Diamond, and the others were as moved as Barbra Cook. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. It keeps drawing me back.
willec7105, this tribute is definitely one of the best of all Kennedy Center Honors tributes. The depth and breadth of the combined talents on stage is beyond measure. This is a fitting tribute to an immensely gifted performer and Broadway survivor, Barbara Cook.
I think the gentleman below said it best. Barbara Cook is number one. However these performers did her justice. Bravo Miss Cook and more than well deserved. We need you now
Oh Nick, I didn't know about Becca's passing for some reason. I learnt only today, out of chance - I came across the piece of news. Now I understand your comment about her "never" being honored with one. I might as well have answered that she might in the future 3 months ago... I had no idea. I'm so gutted.
+Adam Valdez There's a video diary thing by Patti of the night, and she says that Glenn apologised to her on that night!! I'm sure you can find it on RUclips
Clearly, one of the deepest benches of talent in any performance. But when Miss Audra McDonald enters the stage, the entire proceeding soars into the heavens. Those last few minutes are just stunning.
I don't believe I've ever heard a more uniformly SPLENDID series of performances of great songs by a series of equally great ladies of the Musical Theater. Each has something different but equally wonderful to offer, but we must remember that it was BARBARA COOK who made ALL these magnificent songs famous to begin with. and there she was looking BEAUTIFUL and REGAL as a QUEEN at age EIGHTY-FOUR! 'Way to go, Barbara! You were a perfect Role Model for anyone in your field.
RIP Rebecca Luker. I knew her in college and was in Camelot with her. She was a wonderful Guinevere. I wished she had played that part on Broadway. I spoke with her at her concert afterwards. That must have been about a year before her ALS diagnoses. I am still heartbroken.
Streep stands in for all of us with her deep and clearly sincere appreciation of Cook & all of what she represents in musical theatre history - and also acknowledging all of the magnificent WOMEN paying tribute.
You only have to watch the expressions on the faces of Sonny Rollins, Neil Diamond, Meryl Streep & Yo-Yo Ma to understand how radiant this tribute was.
In 1986, I saw Audra in a dinner theater production of A Chorus Line, in Fresno, CA (her home town). She's gone nowhere but up, each performance bigger and brighter.
The premier musical talents in the American theater saluted Cook: Audra McDonald; Kelli O'Hara; Sutton Foster: Patti LuPone; Laura Osnes; Rebecca Luker.
Watching this again I was thinking how lucky I was to see Barbara Cook live. She didn’t just sing the songs, she brought them to life. Never forgotten.
For some who might think that Meryl Streep was given a less spectacular tribute, you have to remember she was among some strong musical honorees that evening: Barbara Cook, musical theater legend Neil Diamond, pop music Yo Yo Ma, classical music Sonny Rollins, jazz It's unusual for the Kennedy Center Honors to have such a music heavy event, so I think it was good that they took it down a notch and made Meryl's tribute more relaxed and intimate, with some humor and even a song from her past.
Glenn Close is a National Treasure. In my humble opinion, she is one of the greatest actresses of our generation. She has an amazing, natural voice that paid wonderful tribute to the equally amazing Barbara Cook. It's no wonder Anne Hathaway was so moved.
Thank you for posting this video!! I was hoping someone would. That's me and my choir, the Choral Arts Society of Washington, singing at the end. It was such a thrill to honor such a great artist, to share the stage with all of that talent, and to perform for the President and the community of entertainers. For one brief moment, I had the opportunity to entertain those who have entertained me all these years. It was awesome!
Barbara Cook is possibly the greatest soprano and one of the greatest performers of all time. I saw her in concert twice and both times it was pure magic. I loved seeing some great performers lined up for this tribute, esp. with Broadway's current reigning soprano Audra McDonald and rising star Laura Osnes.
Were it not for Meryl, Glenn might well be remembered as THE actress of our generation...While Glenn is known as an extraordinary actress, she was also known for Musical Theatre (Broadway's Barnum). Meryl also has some pipes.
RIP Rebecca Luker. The incredible talent on This stage is incomparable. True legends what an honor it must’ve been to have been there that night. Wow just stunning…I’m not crying…you are 🥺
Oh my goodness, if you love broadway, can you imagine being there, that night, what a tribute. What I really enjoyed was watching Meryl Streep and Yo-Yo Ma’s reactions. These are the expressions of artists absolutely overcome by the talent. Loved every moment. Thank you.
I remember when I DVRd this special in my parents bedroom. I watched mainly for Meryl. I was 18 in the middle of my last Xmas break as a high school kid.
I was there that night and had seen all the rehearsals. This was an exquisite show. I was in tears during the rehearsal when all the women sang together.
I'm a huge Meryl fan but I must say this had to be my favorite tribute of the night. Meryl is a close second. Barbara Cook looked truely touched and honor. Plus I didn't know Glenn Close could sing. And Meryl was crying. Now I'm about to cry. Beautifully done!
@@manuelorozco7760 Yes! It's an expensive endeavor but it's true there's nothing like experiencing the performances live. Hope you get to visit NYC one day :^)
Laura, Sutton, Audra, and Kelli are among my favorites (along with Barbara, of course). Patti is a legend and Glenn and Rebecca are amazing as well. How could you beat this group in 2011?
This still is the best KCH tribute to date. Others may have had more famous performers and so on, but this was just perfection. The production, the pacing, the choice of material - and everyone on that stage making absolutely clear that they're singing and taking a bow for an institution of their craft.
I can watch the everyday (I nearly do) and not get tired. Such great a great tribute. Our reaction lives inside Meryl Streep; she reacts for the rest of us. The talent they gathered to honor Cook is timeless. I love this tribute so much.
I don’t think that listening to Audra sing ‘Till There Was You’ ever gets any easier. Ever. She rings every word out to it’s full potential and makes it mean something beautiful.
Runner legend she came to be noticed in 1980's Barnum nominated as Best Actress and won 3 tonys including for best actress in a musical for Sunset Boulevard...a truly great voice who has worked so much in other media that few truly know her voice
Michael L. Morehead Her Tony awards (born by really by an epic Andrew Lloyd Weber tantrum rather than her voice if you know the background scoop) do not and never will make her more memorable than a scuff on Patti LuPone's character shoe while actually really playing Norma.
A woman I only just discovered being honored with such talent and amazing music to what must have been a truly amazing career. This is the amazing part of RUclips. Discovering people who were before your time, but wanting to treasure every moment of them you can find. Barbara Cook was amazing.
I have a treasure - the original B'way Music Man cast album and I mean the FIRST vinyl issue that is in pristeen condition and bring tears streaming down my cheeks whenever I play it. Thank you dear God for Barbara Cook!
I'm pretty sure that all roads on youtube lead back to this video.
lol
And I need that, am just fine with it! LOL funny
Danny always, first watched it and jerry herrman’s 5 years ago. It keeps coming back and I’m so grateful for it
totally
perpetual goosebumps...
Agreed
An elusive paint post!
***** Broadway is represented so well!
+Paint SAME JON!
Paint All. The. Time.
Patti got the memo that said "metallic column gowns please" and was like "no thanks".
Coming back to this video after the passing of Rebecca Luker, I'm not crying you are
Ugh, yes. And Barbara Cook’s face as she’s singing. So beautiful.
What? Sad loss.
So sad. I loved her and her talented husband
Lost her life to the ugliest disease, ALS
She's not in this show, but not long before Rebecca Luker died, we lost too soon another great, Marin Mazzie! Both taken rather young!
They brought out the heavy hitters! Sutton Foster, Patti Lupone AND Audra McDonald! No wonder Meryl Streep looks like she's died and gone to heaven. She's sitting next to Barbara Cook and watching Broadway royalty on stage. It doesn't get much better than that.
Oh my gosh Laura Osnes, Kelli O'Hara, Glenn Close, Patti LuPone, Sutton Foster AND Audra McDonald the theatre kid in me is freaking out
How dare Lupone still sound that fabulous after 40 years of belting the hell out of Broadway and Audra is incandescent. What a finale. Bernstein at his best
This is the best of the Kennedy Center Honors tributes to a Broadway performer that I've seen so far. And you could see the level of talent that turned out to honor the peerless Barbara Cook - God, Laura Osnes, Rebecca Luker, Kelli O'Hara, Glenn Close, Sutton Foster, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, all performing sincerely and at the top of their form on the same stage. No wonder the (always appreciative and peerless) Meryl Streep was crying. It was better than the tribute to her haha.
Agreed!
Anne Hathaway was crying too (at the end of "Losing My Mind")
It was such a great tribute. Up there with the one for Sondheim and Julie Andrews.
So good right? I’ve watched this 45 times so far...wowza
Meryl cried because it was heartwarming not because she was jealous. You can see how she always look over to Barbara every after song. No need to put down other awardee.
I love how Meryl Streep is having a musical geek out the whole time.
I was keeping it together pretty well. And then "Till There Was You" happened. Oh, Audra. 😭😭😭🥰
Held it together but when Audra starts singing, 😭😭😭😭😭
In my opinion, this is the best musical tribute of all the Kennedy Center Honors. It's my favorite. The seamless unfolding of these super-talented women vocalists brought a beauty, brightness, and magical quality that is spellbinding. As others here note, Meryl Streep, Yo Yo Ma, Neil Diamond, and the others were as moved as Barbra Cook. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. It keeps drawing me back.
Agreeed!
Totally agree, the Julie Andrews tribute is also spectacular
willec7105, this tribute is definitely one of the best of all Kennedy Center Honors tributes. The depth and breadth of the combined talents on stage is beyond measure. This is a fitting tribute to an immensely gifted performer and Broadway survivor, Barbara Cook.
get you someone who looks at you like Barbara Cook looks at Patti LuPone
What a tribute.
I think the gentleman below said it best. Barbara Cook is number one. However these performers did her justice. Bravo Miss Cook and more than well deserved. We need you now
That's a looot of Tonys on one stage.
And should have been more... it’s a pity Rebecca Luker was never honored with one.
@@nickbigd Oh I sure agree! You know what? I met her once at Whole Foods - we chatted a bit, and she was awesome too.
Oh Nick, I didn't know about Becca's passing for some reason. I learnt only today, out of chance - I came across the piece of news. Now I understand your comment about her "never" being honored with one. I might as well have answered that she might in the future 3 months ago... I had no idea. I'm so gutted.
I loved watching Meryl Streep who was obviously touched by the whole thing. The great ones don´t get jealous.
Is no one going to talk about how Glenn Close and Patti Lupone appeared on the same stage?
I was thinking the same thing!!! After what happened to Patti with Glenn Close replacing her in Sunset Boulevard. Wow.
+Adam Valdez There's a video diary thing by Patti of the night, and she says that Glenn apologised to her on that night!! I'm sure you can find it on RUclips
+Adam Valdez and I reckon Glenn Close didn't sound great. Or act it particularly well...
OMG... do tell!!
OMFG I JUST REALISED!
Clearly, one of the deepest benches of talent in any performance. But when Miss Audra McDonald enters the stage, the entire proceeding soars into the heavens. Those last few minutes are just stunning.
I need a full version of Sutton Foster's "Everybody Says Don't" with the orchestra PLEASE
I don't believe I've ever heard a more uniformly SPLENDID series of performances of great songs by a series of equally great ladies of the Musical Theater. Each has something different but equally wonderful to offer, but we must remember that it was BARBARA COOK who made ALL these magnificent songs famous to begin with. and there she was looking BEAUTIFUL and REGAL as a QUEEN at age EIGHTY-FOUR! 'Way to go, Barbara! You were a perfect Role Model for anyone in your field.
Audra is simply one of the best performers in the world. Also if Make Our Garden Grow doesn't make you cry, I don't understand your brain.
gets me everytime, just so, so beautiful
It makes my heart pound with joy
Yes and yes!
I want it played at my wedding and funeral
I cry every time..... Let it play at my funeral so my soul can leave in light. I saw Miss Cook in concert. I am happy.
Patti always steals the show!!! What a powerful voice...the vibrato ending is top tier
Her voice just falls out of her mouth. It's honestly ridiculous 😂
I like how she moves her head back and forth likes she's trying to take it ALL in and doesn't want to miss a second of it
Patti almost steals the show, then Audra comes on and takes it to a whole new level.
"Come Rain or Come Shine". survives despite being LuPonized.
6:30, Barbara is SO happy that Patti is there. So adorable.
Rebeca Luker. Underappreciated. THAT TONE.
Very beautiful. It's so sad that she is now suffering from ALS and unable to sing. :(
RIP Rebecca Luker. I knew her in college and was in Camelot with her. She was a wonderful Guinevere. I wished she had played that part on Broadway.
I spoke with her at her concert afterwards. That must have been about a year before her ALS diagnoses. I am still heartbroken.
@@jamesmccully9584 Really? My first voice teacher knew Rebecca in college as well.
LLP
Very Beautiful Voices. Also, Meryl Streep's genuine appreciation is a joy.
Streep stands in for all of us with her deep and clearly sincere appreciation of Cook & all of what she represents in musical theatre history - and also acknowledging all of the magnificent WOMEN paying tribute.
Audra McDonald is perfection.
She makes opera fun to listen to
You only have to watch the expressions on the faces of Sonny Rollins, Neil Diamond, Meryl Streep & Yo-Yo Ma to understand how radiant this tribute was.
When she realizes the choir was singing "Make Your Garden Grow"... that was great.
This is by far the BEST Broadway Kennedy Center Honors tribute
Broadway lost a shining star on August 8th. RIP Barbara Cook.
The only thing I have seen Barbara in was voicing Thumbelina's mother in Thumbelina. Sad indeed anyway
@@manuelorozco7760 --get some of her CD's. She made many recordings since her time on Broadway, almost up to the end of her life.
Linda F I heard her duet of Look To the Rainbow with Barry Manilow a few times and her singing Till There Was You
@@manuelorozco7760 I saw her live in Candide, and then in Follies and then in her own show on Broadway.
Samuel Delany I wish i could go back in time and see her as Marion in the Music Man and as Amelia in She Loves Me
I'm 6'0", 265 lbs, love football and bbq and action movies.... and I love great music. This. is. great. music. Brava.
Music knows no physique, gender, and stereotypical interests. It's just that -- music.
i love how sutton foster can belt without making any facial expressions hahaha it's so effortless
I can't wait to see Sutton Foster's Kennedy Center Honors tribute.
I know right I love her so much
Hahah I love how Sutton has her hair in a pony tail, yet again!! She's too cute.
R.I.P Rebecca Luker you'll definitely be sorely missed 😢.
Audra McDonald cannot be a real person. She's too perfect.
Wonderful , y e s !
Absolutely…Thru the years!
In 1986, I saw Audra in a dinner theater production of A Chorus Line, in Fresno, CA (her home town). She's gone nowhere but up, each performance bigger and brighter.
The premier musical talents in the American theater saluted Cook: Audra McDonald; Kelli O'Hara; Sutton Foster: Patti LuPone; Laura Osnes; Rebecca Luker.
Man... Laura Osnes, Patti Lupone, Glenn Close and Audra McDonald on the same stage... we've been blessed
I listen to this about once a month. This segment should be nominated for an award. I cry every time. Perfect joy!
Listen again to Rebecca Luker, one of the most beautiful voices ever to grace the B'way stage... ever.
RIP ❤️
That was pretty much the best legit vocals on the same stage ever!!! Thanks!!
Thanks Jay! I hadn't seen this. Really great!
+Jay Veerayano O yeah! And Laura's voice! It's sooooo smooth and silky!
+Jay Veerayano yeah pretty much! :) Outstanding performance
+Jay Veerayano Agreed! Those ladies killed it!!
And yet.... none of them could touch the brilliance of Barbara Cook herself!!
Watching this again I was thinking how lucky I was to see Barbara Cook live. She didn’t just sing the songs, she brought them to life. Never forgotten.
For some who might think that Meryl Streep was given a less spectacular tribute, you have to remember she was among some strong musical honorees that evening:
Barbara Cook, musical theater legend
Neil Diamond, pop music
Yo Yo Ma, classical music
Sonny Rollins, jazz
It's unusual for the Kennedy Center Honors to have such a music heavy event, so I think it was good that they took it down a notch and made Meryl's tribute more relaxed and intimate, with some humor and even a song from her past.
Glenn Close is a National Treasure. In my humble opinion, she is one of the greatest actresses of our generation. She has an amazing, natural voice that paid wonderful tribute to the equally amazing Barbara Cook. It's no wonder Anne Hathaway was so moved.
A tribute that is pitch perfect with a lineup.of superb talent. Rest in peace Barbara Cook and Rebecca Luker
Thank you for posting this video!! I was hoping someone would. That's me and my choir, the Choral Arts Society of Washington, singing at the end. It was such a thrill to honor such a great artist, to share the stage with all of that talent, and to perform for the President and the community of entertainers. For one brief moment, I had the opportunity to entertain those who have entertained me all these years. It was awesome!
i love how after Sutton's performance Meryl goes "that was fabulous"
You wanna know what set me off crying? Glenn Close's smiling as Audra sings for her life!
Sutton Foster and Audra MacDonald are phenomenal
Kelli O'Hara is quite simply GLORIOUS...
Been a fan of her since South Pacific
Glenn Close was wonderful as always. She deserves that honor in Kennedy Center Honors
Patti was a lady to appear on the same stage singing with Glenn Close! Fabulous performances!
Patti Lupone and Glenn Close. These ladies are exceptional!
Barbara Cook is possibly the greatest soprano and one of the greatest performers of all time. I saw her in concert twice and both times it was pure magic. I loved seeing some great performers lined up for this tribute, esp. with Broadway's current reigning soprano Audra McDonald and rising star Laura Osnes.
Without doubt, the loveliest, strongest , most wonderful soprano. A glorious treasure!
She's A National Treasure! Magnificent !
OMG Glenn Close is amazing
They had better give Kennedy Center Honors to Glenn Close! She's a living legend!
and Patti and Audra, WOW!
In about 10 years they will honor Glenn Close.
Were it not for Meryl, Glenn might well be remembered as THE actress of our generation...While Glenn is known as an extraordinary actress, she was also known for Musical Theatre (Broadway's Barnum). Meryl also has some pipes.
Twitler is not going afterall at least this year and if he makes to next year who knows!

RIP Rebecca Luker. The incredible talent on This stage is incomparable. True legends what an honor it must’ve been to have been there that night. Wow just stunning…I’m not crying…you are 🥺
Yeah. Such a loss. I saw her in so many shows. She was perfect in The Secret Garden.
Yo-yo Ma’s reaction = priceless
One of the finest musical tributes the Kennedy Center Honors ever produced.
I love how Meryl Streep is having the time of her life!!
No matter how many times I watch this, I cry from Audra's introduction until the very end of the video. So beautiful.
I truly wish Glenn Close had a full version of Losing My Mind recorded somewhere. SO gorgeous.
I was actually more moved by Glenn than any of the others. She sounded like she was singing the most genuinely from the heart out of the bunch.
AND THAT MAGICAL WOMAN IS ON THE STAGE GIVING US SOME OF HER SPARKLE AND IMPORTANCE !!!
OUR PRECIOUS GLENN CLOSE !!
Oh my goodness, if you love broadway, can you imagine being there, that night, what a tribute. What I really enjoyed was watching Meryl Streep and Yo-Yo Ma’s reactions. These are the expressions of artists absolutely overcome by the talent. Loved every moment. Thank you.

Beautifully said. And, the splendid Rebecca Luker is a TREASURE.. sounds so much like Barbara. What a spectacular and fulfilling tribute!
@@jillwintz379 ms luker is missed.
Miss, miss, miss Rebecca. This was as good of a Kennedy Center Honors tribute as any.
We’re all Anne Hathaway watching this
I used her reaction as my reaction to the finale of Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure.
I was there that night and had seen all the rehearsals. This was an exquisite show. I was in tears during the rehearsal when all the women sang together.
Was there a girl cut out? Who was the woman in white gloves?
I'm a huge Meryl fan but I must say this had to be my favorite tribute of the night. Meryl is a close second. Barbara Cook looked truely touched and honor. Plus I didn't know Glenn Close could sing. And Meryl was crying. Now I'm about to cry. Beautifully done!
I want a recording of Sutton's performance so I can listen to it over and over and over!!!
Didn't think I would find you here Luke. Hate to go off topic but have you seen Ant Man and the Wasp. I just saw it yesterday and I loved it.
it's so overwhelming how beautiful the talent in the Broadway community is... love!
I wish I can see these ladies more often. Take it from someone who’s never been to NYC
@@manuelorozco7760 Yes! It's an expensive endeavor but it's true there's nothing like experiencing the performances live. Hope you get to visit NYC one day :^)
Alex S. Thanks. I’ve seen some of these ladies in movies, tv shows, proshots and tv musicals
Laura, Sutton, Audra, and Kelli are among my favorites (along with Barbara, of course). Patti is a legend and Glenn and Rebecca are amazing as well. How could you beat this group in 2011?
The absolute and total excitement on Barbaras face when Patti was announced is simply magical.
Can't wait to see Glenn and Audra's Kennedy Center Honors Tributes someday
This still is the best KCH tribute to date. Others may have had more famous performers and so on, but this was just perfection. The production, the pacing, the choice of material - and everyone on that stage making absolutely clear that they're singing and taking a bow for an institution of their craft.
No one is phoning it in when you're honouring Barbara Cook!
So many stunning voices on one stage. So spectacular!
I love Laura Osnes, Kelli O Hara and Audra McDonald the most
All the Broadway queens on one stage=A FREAKIN AMAZING PERFORMANCE
Meryl Streep looks like she fully completely enjoyed all of those talented women performing. So cool.
LAURA OSNES & SUTTON FOSTER
THE TWO MAGNIFICENT NEW PERFORMERS OF THEIR GENERATION FROM THE CORE OF BROADWAY COMMUNITY !!!
THANK YOU GIRLS !!!
I literally watch this video every few months to remind myself to keep on going
I loved this tribute to the incredibly talented Barbara Cook. I loved watching Meryl Streep’s reaction. She was so moved. It was touching.
Candide's finale has always been a guaranteed tear inducer. Great choice!
I can watch the everyday (I nearly do) and not get tired. Such great a great tribute. Our reaction lives inside Meryl Streep; she reacts for the rest of us. The talent they gathered to honor Cook is timeless. I love this tribute so much.
probably one of the best musical tributes of the Kennedy Center Honors
Sutton never fails to bring a performance
Audra Mcdonald is sheer perfection. Lovely performance. Wonderful! Loved the excerpt from Candide in particular.
I actually never seen a production of Candide but I do love the ending.
It's so exquiste, isn't it. Bernstein was a genius.
Remarkable performances..... Barbara deserved all these great Broadway divas paying homage.....loved Meryl's reactions, she knows!!
If I had a time machine, I would travel back to when Ms. Cook played Marion in the Music Man and Amelia in She Loves Me.
This was a stunning collection of performances. But I must say, Rebecca Luker! Damn that woman has a gorgeous voice.
I don’t think that listening to Audra sing ‘Till There Was You’ ever gets any easier. Ever. She rings every word out to it’s full potential and makes it mean something beautiful.
I literally bawl every time
Audra will surely one day be a Kennedy Center honoree.
I thought Glenn Close was only an actress.
Very good voice!
GRHCU I agree. I was impressed with Glenn Close's singing ability BRAVO MS.CLOSE!!!!
Runner legend she came to be noticed in 1980's Barnum nominated as
Best Actress and won 3 tonys including for best actress in a musical for Sunset Boulevard...a truly great voice who has worked so much in other media that few truly know her voice
I first heard her sing on a recording of lullabies. Beautiful. I don't think this song did her justice (then again... I don't like that song).
Michael L. Morehead Her Tony awards (born by really by an epic Andrew Lloyd Weber tantrum rather than her voice if you know the background scoop) do not and never will make her more memorable than a scuff on Patti LuPone's character shoe while actually really playing Norma.
Maura Furey Oop a pissed off Patti fan 😂
doctor: you only have 11 minutes and one second to live
me:
when is patti lupone getting her kennedy center honor!
It's time!!!!
When she agrees not to curse out anyone she spots using their phone during the show.
A woman I only just discovered being honored with such talent and amazing music to what must have been a truly amazing career. This is the amazing part of RUclips. Discovering people who were before your time, but wanting to treasure every moment of them you can find. Barbara Cook was amazing.
Barbara Cook was a national treasure.
Audra, Patti, and Kelli will be next to get the Kennedy Center Honors.
Laura osnes and sutton foster=perfection. they will one day be the honorees
George Chlada guess what i October that day has come lol
Ms. Cook, rest in peace. This was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful person and voice.
She was simply astonishing in how she could take a lyric that you had heard many times and find a new emotional truth.
I have a treasure - the original B'way Music Man cast album and I mean the FIRST vinyl issue that is in pristeen condition and bring tears streaming down my cheeks whenever I play it. Thank you dear God for Barbara Cook!
