Laura Osnes - "I'm in Love With A Wonderful Guy"

[leciga28]

She has a great voice :) I saw her performing this in NYC and I absolutely loved her. She was funny, touching and had a great stage presence. And she's definitely making a name for herself on Broadway.

[HikariDragonRyuu]

Her voice is gorgeous - listen to her sing Dyin' Ain't So Bad from Bonnie & Clyde. It's opening on Broadway this fall and it's bound to be her big defining role.

@HikariDragonRyuu too bad that song is so poor

@UncleCharlieOakley These people that you say aren't "extra ordinary" or "larger then life" are still fairly new I mean wont you feel like an ass when in 29 or so years they become legends in they're own right. So to conclude my long rant Laura Osnes maybe hasn't found herself a role that will define her career and compliment her talents but she's making a name for herself and fast which is more than i can say about you and your lowly youtube account critiques

[coltsbro]

@UncleCharlieOakley I've been reading your comments and seriously you sound like a very bitter person who has high standards not because you're a well seasoned actor but because it is this false identity that your creating for yourself because you didn't have the talent to make it yourself so you feel obligated to put others down because they've "made it" and you feel jealous and that they're undeserving because you have some complex. Also these "greats" that you speak of are from the past.

i saw the show a couple months after this video was posted and saw kelli o'hara, which was obviously amazing, but it would have been amazing to see laura also considering how closely i followed the one that i want. i'm sure she did very well!

[lilmass1992]

I'm so glad to see laura go places! I always knew she would! miss having her in community theater, but she deserves to be there! <3 Thanks for posting!

[langlade100]

Adam, even some of those legendary performers you mentioned sometimes gave lacklustre or even bad performances. No reason to generalize about Osnes's talent from this one performance/clip.

[belliniable]

She's pretty and sounds like a decent actress, but her singing is quite boring.

[SKW3threat]

i love her

[chachachic14]

She was wonderful in this! I saw her a while back and she was adorable!

[UncleCharlieOakley]

I like her but, uhmmm ... her character is from Little Rock, Arkansas. Where is her Southern accent? Mary Martin in the original, Kelli O'Hara in the revival and Carmen Cusack in the touring company got that right. All of the other women have much stronger, more character-filled voices. As pretty and likable as Osnes is, she can't touch these other performances.

[AdamEfimoff]

@UncleCharlieOakley who cares ??? she is a revelation and at least can sing and act she will go far !

[UncleCharlieOakley]

@AdamEfimoff Apparently, YOU don't care but some of us started going to theater before "Wicked" and "Rent" and we know that there is a big difference between a true STAR and someone who is very, very pretty, charming, likable and competent . Revelation? Set your standards a little higher than "Glee," will ya?

[AdamEfimoff]

@UncleCharlieOakley Mr Oakley who I believe is a reference to lets think a movie Shadow of a Doubt maybe you should stop insulting yourself and giving this girl a chance.

[UncleCharlieOakley]

@AdamEfimoff Dr. Mr. Efimoff. I will not reply to you again. English doesn't seem to be your first language, based on your posts. You're gaga for this "girl." I'm not. Why is this a problem for you? Enough.

[AdamEfimoff]

@UncleCharlieOakley She is not just a pretty thing a tool if that is what your thinking

I think your term refers to I want to sleep with this girl even I am not this insensitive

[mysweetsmile23]

@UncleCharlieOakley very well said

[AdamEfimoff]

@UncleCharlieOakley Furthermore at least she can sing and didn't sound like Laura Bell Bundy's replacement , I do not like reality tv shows but I do think credit is due when credits due I saw O Hara and she was fine. But so is Laura maybe you should learn to see good actress I think it a revelation comparing to she also went through a reality show and compared to many others can act. I thought in the start what is Lincon Center Doing but now I understand why she doing what is best.

[UncleCharlieOakley]

@AdamEfimoff Look. You're talking to someone who was lucky enough to see on Broadway Gwen Verdon. Chita Rivera. Barbra Streisand. Carol Channing. Tammy Grimes. Patti Lupone. Melba Moore. Barbara Harris. Eartha Kitt. Dorothy Loudon. These people are legends. Bigger than life. Ms. Osnes is very pretty and competent and sings nicely and I wish her well. She is good but not extraordinary and larger than life. You like her. Good for you. Now, move on.

[pillowlover005]

@UncleCharlieOakley Dude. Chill! First, get that stick out of your butt. I am glad that you have seen these so called "legends", but that doesn't mean your opinion is superior to anyone else's. Second, I think Laura Osnes is making a name for herself and fast. We have to remember that all actors including the one's you mentioned all started as no one's. So you like Streisand, Rivera, Lupone, etc. Good for you. Now, move on. We have...

[AdamEfimoff]

@pillowlover005 well said okay she is not as good as Kelli but she is going to become a star with training and she will need to take smaller roles and learn to be more comfortable with accents. Kelli can do pretty much anything and is going to get a tony one day

[Gazzara5]

@pillowlover005 Everyone's got to start somewhere, and she's doing well. Okay, so she only has a secondary role in "Anything Goes." She can't be the star all the time. She's still in her mid-20s. At least she has faded back into oblivion like her "Grease" co-star, Max Crumm. Give her a few years.

[TheTHESPIANS101]

@UncleCharlieOakley wow...is barbra on bway?? last time i checked none of those besides Patti (Which ANYONE, including me, can buy a 100+ ticket and go see her) are on broadway!! And look where laura is now!!!! She is on broadway in BONNIE AND CLIDE!!! so put a sock in it and enjoy the new generation...this isn't my favorite either but that doesn't define her! If you are that old to have seen all those people and you are too stuck up in that old crap then put a sock in it!!

[tunelessmelody]

i saw it there a few weeks ago, and it was really good.

[elizabethlane1900]

i saw it in march also, she was PERFECT for the role : )

[Bookwitch717]

i saw this show in March, and it was fantastic -she is a great actress and this was a really good show to see

[ExAxLxPx12]

[Ropo07]

Aww thanks so much for sharing that was great

[entertainer1987]

I've always wanted to know how she sang this song. She sounds wonderful.

[phantomphan192]
