Seen her live a couple times in a couple different things... She's even better live, if that seems at all possible. Actually an electric stage presence.
LOVE HER! she is the most amazing person ever! its amazing that someone is talented enough to sing that! Wo-man, she is special! (sorry, that was a lame joke. i thought it would work with the musical this is from).
this situation just happened to my mom and i... my dad left with another woman... this song is so touching and inspirational. i can't stop singing it. it gave me chills the first time i heard it.
BELTER-noun- Theatrical gold. A person, usually female, who specializes in producing fierce, skilled vocals in the highest part of their chest voice. When given the choice to belt or mix, a belter will always choose the former. Female belters can also be refered to as beltresses.
I just saw 9 to 5 again on Friday night. you should have heard Steph's performance of this song! it was the best I've heard her do it EVER! and I finally got to meet her!
The thing that pains me about the whole Tony thing. As much of an Allison Janney fan that I am, this was leading actress in a MUSICAL. And although she took a chance and went out of her element - that shouldnt be enough to just get a nom.
Stephanie or Meg should've gotten the nomination. Megan Hilty went through an entire transformation to bring back an icon to the stage - her character work was phenominal. Stephanie invested a lot of pride in her work and it shines through in every thing.
Has anyone else noticed that Stephanie sure loves to do that little "hop" during her songs? Y'know, she bounces on her feet? I think it's adorable, and she did that when she sang "Woman" in Pirate Queen on The View. (You can see it on YouTube.)
I adore this woman. She's so gorgeous, has an amazing voice, great actress, and, well....She'll always be the Pirate Queen to me. ^_^
Don't worry. When the Broadway gets its act together and someone revives Funny Girl, Stephanie will have the lead and will win a Tony for it. At least, that's how it happens in my fantasy world.
The Tonys are a scam. If it wasn't political she would have gotten a nomination! I mean, I can't think of any other way of looking at it. Because her and Megan were JUST as good if not better than Allison Janney. It confused me.
But who else would they have bumped out of the lead category for Megan and SJB? Alice, Allison, and Josefina were guaranteed nominees. Sutton is a Tony darling, so it was likely she would be nominated. That leaves Stockard's place, which Megan or SJB could have taken. But it was highly unlikely both of them were going to be nominated.
I think Allison didn't need one. Her performance wasn't anything new or terribly exciting (don't get me wrong, I loved her... but...) and I thought Stockard was... meh. Josefina is simply lovely... and granted I haven't seen it... but was her performance really great?
Anyway, I think at least Stephanie should have gotten something.
yeah i think stockard and foster should have been left out. foster plays pretty much the same character in every musical. but to me i believe they tony's decided to choose who they thought was the best from 9 to 5 to represent the show in the category and give the other nominations to other shows.
it also doesn't hurt that allison is a tv and film star
So glad they gave her a new wig for this part of the show. Saw it today and this by far got the most reaction. Met SJB after the show too and she was the BIGGEST sweetheart EVER so so kind.
She is truly incredible. Her voice is marvelous, but it's her emotion and honesty that really make this song a show-stopper.
