I saw Shirley MacLaine, in Sweet Charity & this little gal brings it all that back... brought some tears to my eyes... where has time gone..? Great Performance.
Sutton could sing my obituary and I'd enjoy it! Such talent.
that wig was a... choice
Honestly fits the character.
Looks like she lost a bet.
I love how she performs a full character instead of just going though dance moves.
All of the Bunheads feeelllss. She is awesome, and performs beautifully this song!
Have none of you ever seen a real star perform? She's not it. She's chorus. Lead chorus, but not a lead.
@@nonenoneonenonenone - And just how many Tony awards do you have? Asking for a friend.
I've never before seen that number on stage without the Fosse/Verdon choreography, Sutton Foster breathed a lot of life into the role. She dazzled, but she deserved better choreography.
I don't know how she manages to look that beautiful with what she's wearing, but she needs to teach me her ways
I loved this when she sang this on Bunheads! Bravo Sutton I'm your biggest fan
LOVE LOVE LOVE HER
I'm not a fan of the wig but Sutton is queen!!!!!
She brings me so much joy
This is 1:38 of a once in a decade or more performance. Not one wasted, gratuitous moment by Sutton and this is true for the entire performance. She is a skilled actor, singer, dancer, comedienne at the top of her game.
I was lucky enough to see it in 2016. Both were great. It was so good I wanted to see it again but it was sold out for the rest of the run so glad we bought our tickets when we did. I wish they would have moved this to Broadway, it would have done great. Too bad they didn't do a cast recording or the entire song isn't on youtube
What's up with that wig?
For everyone asking about the wig and costume it's meant to be terrible. It's not just the costumes, but everything in the production was purposefully made a lot shittier. The set is sparse and not convincing, the band is much smaller and not as big of a star in the music, the costumes are tacky, all of this I personally believe was done as a statement because this musical romanticizes this poor girl constantly being used by men and just suffering the whole way through. By taking out the fun spectacle of the show we can now truly see how shitty Charity is treated.
Now that said it does mean that this version of the show is just plain not as fun to watch. Even with Sutton Fosters amazing talent as Charity, I don't know if I would be willing to pay for a show like this, even if it was done purposefully which I think is pretty cool. Sorry for the essay, it's just every comment on this video is the exact same complaint.
interesting perspective. I saw it... it was very disappointing. And depressing, which is what you allude to about how bad Charity is treated.
i think that could still be conveyed with decent costuming and hair. Les Mis has costumes galore and yet we feel bad for Fantine and Epoine.
Tickets for this show I can imagine we’re still expensive because it had Sutton foster in it, if I pay a lot of money for a show I want all the glitz and glam of theatre because I want to be taken away from the present and be immersed into the story, instead of thinking how cheap everything looks.
I saw it and I found it very entertaining and enjoyed very much, it wasn't a big Broadway show, it was a nice little intimate show and was very enjoyable.
she's not talented at all, she's awful.
charlie katsu Her Tonys say otherwise
Jebus, i agree with most: Sutton - Amazing, Sutton voice- incredible, the wig and outfit - wtf?
Everyone cringing about the wig does not understand Sweet Charity.
This musical has great music!!
How are people not laughing out loud!? Brilliant!
LOVE HER, HATE HER WIG!!!!!
analu lopez quoting Anotoher Cinderella Movie I hope?
My queen
It's funny how her role on *Bunheads* sort of predicted her singing this for an audience. Also, I agree with everyone else; that wig and outfit just takes me out of the show.
I just love her
she's so cute
she's amazing! the costume and wig are literally the worst things she's ever worn on the professional stage i don't think the Oger fiona costume is uglier! she looks like a purple nurse in a cheep costume shop wig. its actually the first time she's ever looked like she's wearing a wig ever. She is one of the easiest women on broadway to dress she's a chameleon, and this look actually looks like a costume! its completely distracting from the performance. i watched 2x cuz the first time didn't really notice the dancing due to her appearance
Elphaboy totally agree! This is one of my favorite shows (and plays and movies) and although I get that the time period of it is a big part of it i was excited when i read that they were going in a more modern direction. Now I see this costume and I'm really confused. Sutton can do no wrong and I think she's perfect for the role but idk about this aspect of the revival.
yea its just too off the wall i feel like the hair style and the dress are competing for which is more "incorrect" as a design choice. so in this fight no one is a winner and sutton is the over-shadowed battle ground
You're not getting that these are the choices "Charity" would have made- the wig she would have chosen, etc. Gritty, nasty ,etc. like the original source material (Fellini's movie) . One of the other wigs she wears at the Fandango is different, more polished, some type of a French knot. These items are organic to the role and this production.
easiest woman on broadway to dress? HA! for anything goes they had to do everything in a bias cut to give her a figure. she's like myrna loy in that department. if it ain't biased cut they ain't got a figure.
@@ricmarc7156 First of all everything in Anything goes was Bias cuz it was the 1930s and like 90% of woman fashion was bias cut.Sutton wasn't the only one who's whole wardrobe for that show was almost 100% bias cut, Millie was the same way cuz the 20s and second she didn't wear all bias cut in Little women or the drowsey Chaperone i even know the guy who built some of her stuff for that show. and easiest to dress doesn't mean she can literally wear anything its that till this specific instance she's literally made every single garment designed for her look like her clothes and not at all like a costume. i have literally never seen her in a wig that looks like a wig on her head even when she was Fiona!!! Patti Lupone is the same way. the costumes and wigs NEVER wear her! a challenging body isn't what i was commenting on it was more the failing at making someone who so easily carries what ever is thrown on her struggle to make her whole get up look natural. a litany of bad choices were made for her here!
You're a delight, Sutton Foster!
Storm from the first X-Men film should get with her and talk about wigs. The number is so good!
They should have went for the Fosse choreography
Have you seen the production ? Are you aware that this choreography is organic to this character and THIS production. This is the way this Charity would move. Fosse's choreography was organic ONLY to Fosse and Verdon.
I still say Fosse's was better.
Again I ask, have you seen this entire production presented by the The New Group ? And I don't mean just this clip on RUclips ?
No. I don't care much for the story. The best part of the show was the Fosse choreography. That was the draw for me.
I guess you don't like Neil Simon then- right ?
SHE IS THE MOMENT
Her and Joel were great on this. I wish they would have done a cast recording
Wow, she is amazing, all the time, every time.
hilarious that Bunheads kinda predicted this as she sang this song in her audition scene😂❤
right!!
Is it possible to watch the entire musical?
Shes AMAZING.....this production value is.....something, but in saying that its pretty time period accurate
The hair is not and I am old enough to verify that.
i watch this like 50 times a day
Her timing is absolutely on point!!! I love how she never misses a beat!
Tough crowd, I can’t hear anyone laughing but I would be laughing my ass off.
so like... in weeks of tech and previews no one was like "about the wig..."? Y'all just left Sutton out there to do all the work...
Oof just bombed an an audition with this song
For everyone commenting about the wig and costume- you would have to see the entire show to understand the directors choice.
Agreed. there is a very clear reason for this wig. And it's counterpart in the Fandango Ballroom.
@@MrBfancy And what would that reason be? The wig is not only hideous but I am old enough to remember this period and no one would walk outside with a hairstyle like that in the 60s
@@richardmayora1289 It was played as a wig. She hid behind the fake facade the wig created for her until the end of the show when she pulled it off to show her wig cap and pinning, the fake facade stripped away to reveal the true Charity Hope Valentine. It worked for me.
Fun song
I don't like her costume but she is so great. she is a great performer.
Does anyone have the full clip? Love Sutton!!!
she's so perfect
I wish Sutton and Joel would have done a soundtrack This was a great show that should have been on broadway instead of a small off braodway theater
People moaning about the costume and the wig obviously don’t know the musical well enough. She’s meant to be messy and different
I just finished singing this in my choir cabaret concert!
Very different from the way she performed this on ABC Family's "Bunheads" but just as good.
The dollar store wants their wig back.
Okay tbh the costume is cute like y’all hating on it for no reason... the hair looks different but it’s pretty !
Lmao I'm reading the comments and understanding those of you who hate the production and those who admire the statement.
But damn Sutton just looks so good in anything I didnt even notice!!! Still dont. 😂😂😂💛
I love how she sang this in bunheads and actually got the roll, awwhhh I love her so much ❤️
I'm very late to comment on this, but I produced this show and Charity is poor, working a shitty job and not making much. Her hair WOULD look like that, that's just her reality. They do a great job of capturing it.
I want to be part of this community!!!
Wahhhhhhhhh!
Button's just dont float my ship's anymore....
I need...hot floating feet on stage to feather my wind....so i can sail@!
Wahhhhh!
She is wonderful. What the hell is with that wig?!?!?! She looks like the Dutch Boy Paint Logo crossed with Artful Dodger/ my 3rd Grade school picture. Sweet Jesus should have interweaved her wig. She wiggin'!
joey -HAHAHAHA!!!!!
Who is this stunning actress?
love sutton, LOVE JOEL PEREZ EVEN MORE
Why does she look like she stepped out of a weird production of You're a Good Man Charlie Brown...this is just bizarre.
Am I the only one who doesn't mind the wig that much?
#ByeWig
I wish someone would post the entire clip of this song. I hope they do a cast recording even though it was off Broadway. Sutton and the entire cast were amazing. This should have been on Broadway instead of a small off Broadway theater
She's not a star like Christina Applegate, even if she is a better dancer. But she's not a star dancer, like Verdon or Reinking. She's too cutesy. She needs to cut that out and get serious.
Does anyone know what key this is in??
If they could see me now,
That little gang of mine,
I'm eating fancy chow
And drinking fancy wine.
I'd like those stumble bums to see for a fact
The kind of top drawer, first rate chums I attract.
All I can say is "Wow-ee!
Looka where I am.
Tonight I landed, pow!
Right in a pot of jam.
What a set up! Holy cow!
They'd never believe it,
If my friends could see me now!
If they could see me now,
My little dusty group,
Traipsin' 'round this million dollar chicken coop.
I'd hear those thrift shop cats say:
"Brother, get her!
Draped on a bed spread made from three kinds of fur."
All I can say is, "Wow!
Wait till the riff an' raff
See just exactly how
He sign this autograph."
What a build up! Holy cow!
They'd never believe it,
If my friends could see me now!
If they could see me now
Alone with Mister V.,
Who's waiting on me like he was a maître d'
I'd hear my buddies saying:
"Crazy, what gives?
Tonight she's living like
The other half lives!"
To think the highest brow,
Which I must say is he,
Should pick the lowest brow,
Which there's no doubt is me!
What a step up! Holy cow!
They'd never believe it,
If my friends could see me now!
What a step up! Holy cow!
They'd never believe it...
They'd never believe it,
If my friends could see me now
Hi, girls it's me, Charity!

not a fan of the wig, but she rocks the number:)
Jaja solo vine por roger de america dad jajaj
That wig and the orchestrations are simply horrendous.
Broadway Albums It's a very small venue which explains the orchestrations. As for the wig... no excuses for that! Sutton deserves better tbh
Her dress looks like those aprony things they put on you at the barber shop
i don't buy it for a second
That tempo is deadly. :(
is this the public theater?
Roger Smith? ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
shirley maclaine
Who is here because of South Park? :)
I don't like the wig and the costume
If that wig, costume, and set were the directors ideas, he should be run out of town.
That dress doesn't work
I thought it was a robe.
terrible wig!!!! a bit stagey.. I think
fosse rolled over in his grave. sad
I know the wig is meant to make her look like what she is...a cheap girl who works in a cheap joint but it's SO bad that it's distracting. They could have achieved this better with a nicer wig. She's a brilliant enough actor to get Charity's naivety across without gimmicks.
Why do they always try to make her a blonde?
I feel she is a big enough name to were she can say no to outfits. This is the 3rd time I have seen her in a ridiculous outfit or an outfit that didn't fit the character.
wig
Sorry, but "Sweet Charity", the movie starring Shirley MacLaine and Ricardo Montalban and directed by Bob Fosse has spoiled me for any other productions. As much as I am a fan of Sutton Foster, this is one of the VERY few times that I cannot appreciate both stage and screen productions.
She's amazing, but everything else...eh...no...bleh!!!
A perfectly acceptable performance for a small community theater in a small town in the mid-west. I mean, REALLY, this is
the level Professional New York Musical Theater has sunk to? - a clueless performer taking on an iconic role with no direction, no choreography, no sets, no orchestra -just a costume off the rack at a thrift store and a wig from someone who wants to
make her look hideous?. (PLEASE check out the Gwen Verdon clip of this number on RUclips. Trust me, there were once
PROFESSIONALS working in the musical theater -Gwen and her genius director-choreographer husband Bob Fosse). I ALMOST feel compelled to send Sutton a condolence card -but a person with two Tonys SHOULD know their limitations as well as
be selective where and with whom they work with.
Sutton has two tonys and what do you have to show for it
Sutton is great but...in this case, hate the hair and the outfit and the choreography that is shown.
I love her. She is perfect. But the wig is a travesty.
Boo
Gwen Verdon had the same Miss Hannigan hairstyle for about 30 years and still looked better than Sutton Foster in this costume and hair.
The costume and wigs are absolutely disgusting.
It becomes tiresome listening to folks defending a lackluster mediocre performance from an artist who simply does not have the ability hit certain marks. It's as if that person can never put out bad product and it is some how attributed to the viewers' inadequacies.
They turned Charity's character into a visual joke. And not a funny one. How did this ever get produced?
Another great performer in an absurd production . Yikes. Whatever it is please stop. There must have been another way to explain Sweet Charity to modern audiences than THIS!
Worst look Sutton's ever had to wear, yes? Yes.
One of the most depressing shows. Sutton is good, but the vulnerability is not coming through. Sutton just seems, "on" instead of becoming the character. No haters, I love Sutton, but this wasn't her thing.
that wig is atrocious
She’s literally acting the same as her Princess Fiona character. There’s no difference. Ugh.
Samuel Brown they required similar acting. You wanna go on that stage and do everything she did? Go ahead, but until you do theatre as long as Sutton Foster has you can’t really judge her acting.
Adair I adore Sutton. She was fantastic in Shrek, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Anything Goes, I just didn’t enjoy this particular performance. Everything else I adore.
Ugh. How could anyone sit through such crap. Two good numbers in the whole show both with Chita Rivera back in the day.
Did not care for this at all. Very clumsy, and the singing and dancing have no flow. It has been done so much better by so many others. Not up to Sutton standards
Her squeaky voice is quite annoying to listen to.
