Alysha is FLAWLESS. She is an amazing performer, and more importantly, a genuine person. She was so nice when I met her at the stage door. She stopped and talked to me, we had short conversation with tons of laughs and before she left she gave me a huge hug. And that's the kind of stars Broadway needs!! Needless to say, she will be Broadway's next queen!!
Watch Jay Armstrong Johnson move in anticipation of the music. With that timing, each move seems to initiate the beat. His moves reinforce the comic character, the naive sailor on a night on a night in town. He does all of that while giving the stage to Alysha Umphress and her wonderful singing. It's truly brilliant character dancing.
I've been a fan of Ms. Umphress since being introduced to her through Jeff Blumenkrantz's podcast a few years ago. She and Jay Armstrong Johnson look already damned good here, and must be fantastic by now! So glad that this great score and show are getting, apparently, a worthy revival. I want to go to New York!
I just grabbed this CD at the library on a whim and this track.... it blew me away so much that I just HAD to see woman perform it. I am so thankful it was uploaded here. She is amazing. I am a new fan. Go Alysha Umphress!
I love Alysha so freaking much. I also love Jay, if you've never heard him in 35mm look up the album, he's got so many good solos on that album. Also, I swear Jay is Gumby.
Saw it 9/14/2014, and she almost steals the show. Would have done so if everyone else weren't also terrific. Great show, great performers all. See it! Bravi Bernstein, Comden and Green!
Oh, I can cook, too, on top of the rest, My seafood's the best in the town. And I can cook, too. My fish can't be beat, My sugar's the sweetest around. I'm a man's ideal of a perfect meal Right down to the demi-tasse. I'm a pot of joy for a hungry boy, Baby, I'm cookin' with gas.

I saw both productions of On the Town - even both incarnations of the George C. Wolfe production - and enjoyed both Hildys. However, this more recent production (directed by John Rando, with choreography by Joshua Bergasse) left the earlier one in the dust: the fact that between the summer run in Central Park and the one on Broadway the Wolfe version actually changed choreographers (!) showed a fundamental misunderstanding of the show. In its latest revival, all the elements - casting, direction, choreography (and musical staging) and design - were in total synch. A great night in the theater!

this woman steals the show - the one playing the supposed lead "miss subways" is nothing compared to her -- she's sexy, wild and what a voice!
does anyone know the key she sings this in?
Yes, it's in G i believe :)
This is the woman who was fat shamed in 2018? Look how hot she is! Look how she moves!
Jay Armstrong Johnson reminds me of a modern day RSS Tamblym
Why is one pant leg way longer than the other I need to know
+Mikayla Sullivan So she doesn't trip on them in heels.
Does Jay have bones?
The anti “I’m breaking down” from falsettos
Allison Guinn tho
