Cynthia Erivo is a phnemon.. Lovely

Needed a little horn arranging inspiration. Found it. Awesome.

One day we need an album of all your cut songs 🙂

Brilliant. Few can speak to process with such warmth and clarity.

This is the greatest service to us all!

0:15 because it's a Fantasie and everything Ethan writes is a fantasy?

I love the t-shirt! You don't see Bernard Hermann's name pop up as much as it such. The background to The Connector is also wonderful!!

These are incredible, thank you so much for your structural insights!

I love hearing the artist talk about their work! I had the good fortune to see this back in February. I wish it ran a little longer!

LOVE these, so incredibly insightful and interesting to hear you talk about the process like this.

This is great. Again. Bring on Issue 3!

Please do a million of these!!! It makes me so happy to hear how you think about writing!

I wish to travel to see the show.

Man, that's a great lick. This was super insightful. Thank you.

I had no idea THIS was our new Elphaba, beautiful voice. ❤

This was awesome. Especially fun about the lick you learned (the two sextuplets), which is joyous to hear, and how you used it to challenge yourself. There are a LOT of licks and incredible piano parts in this show, and the band/pit is stunning. Looking forward to future deep dives.

This was fantastic! Thank you for the breakdown - incredible how much work went into this show! It's remarkable to see how intentionally you've built some of the smaller details, such that the audience doesn't consciously notice them but it absolutely affects the characterization.

Love this! If you do a deep dive into lyrics, can you explain why Waldo and Willis both refer to Ethan as "little brother" in their songs?

just here for Miles, really.

Love this insider info! More please!!!

Loved the Connector and loved this Deep Dive!

Amazing. It’s such a beautiful piece of work. I’d love to know how working with Daisy brings something different out of you through the process than your other collaborators, having waited so long for the third show together. Also more of these kinds of breakdown videos would be incredible.

Love this! Great video, and what a gift that you gave by sharing your progress!

Oh my gosh! It was an A minor chord all along!

Thank you! This was awesome to watch. Especially about the 11 extra voices. Can’t wait for more!

Brilliant score, JRB! Thanks for giving us a peek behind the genius. ❤️

So beautifully talented ❤❤❤

Wow

It’s not even the voice (which is insane) it’s the ACTING.

Not entirely sure how this video got suggested to me amidst all the stuff about Ukraine and hurricanes and who knows what else today. Muscovy Ducks. Of course. Last time I saw Scott Bakula in New York - the only time actually - April 8th? 1995. Well definitely April 8th or April 9th something like that. Anyone can whistle. Who thought I would ever be at Carnegie Hall. Or the Hollywood bowl or Ford's theater. Or somewhere in St Louis. And let's not forget UCLA and... Then I got tired of fighting with going through TSA and then I got laid off and it's been a long time. And I guess this is the only thing you had to say.

aww we would love to hear the breakdown of the songs!!! i think Cassandra is specifically something i would love to hear about.

So fantastic to finally hear the music all these months later - an absolutely fantastic album from a show that I hope will get future productions so I can see it!

I must say this surprised me. Her artistic chkices are lovely; from the more simple “thin” juvenile sound, to the thick rich “deep hurt”… a lovely rendition. My favourite is still Lea Salonga, but this moves right up there beside her.

Anyone in 2024 still listening to it ?

Well done! Thank you so much!

Her voice it s a gift to the world,not everybody can sing aretha❤

Mic'd but not a muffler covering her face. Might be some post production, but not auto-tuned to within an inch of its life. She doesn't need it. Ms Ervio is perfection just as she is.

Good job

Finding this for the first time. This sounds INSANE. Not sure how there are not more comments yet, but I'd definitely tune in to hear a breakdown of the writing of some of the songs, the influences and how you constructed this piece!!

I didn’t know that Cynthia has sung this song, this is so beautiful. Also is that JRB in the background?!?!

CYNTHIAAAAAA🤍

Fun Fact: Did you know that actually Anika Noni Rose was also the original voice actress for Tianna in the Disney animated movie called "the princess and the frog"?

I don't know what part of this situation surprised me more: 1. The fact that I have missed this song until very later or 2. Discovering that besides that Jason Robert Brown is a composter I hadn't seen that coming about the fact that he also has a nice deep voice for singing

CYNTHIA????? THIS MAKEs me so much more excited to see her in wicked. oh my god.

Her voice is so effortless full of so much emotion

Insane

How can she be so slender in her voice wow so jel

Really really beautiful. What talent, both of you😉❤️

She’s so talented at this point I feel like she’s not really a person anymore and more just pure goddess. We are mortals to Cynthia and do not deserve her.

By far the best version. Both powerful and character driven whereas a lot of other versions are one or the either
