Memories of my first musical :(

[Shna1122]

[artzyfartzy68]

I love this musical. :)

[TonyDale]

So glad that they let the great, late Lynne Thigpen reprise her Broadway role.

HOLY CRAP! I just realized that Jonny Depp was in this! He's at 1:11 and 1:57, and I think he sings the opening verse of the song! Ok and also the last singer's vibrato is SO ANNOYING. It's like nails to a chalkboard.

[sddweller]

Sounds like she's sitting on a washer during the spin cycle!

[bmariewest]

Um......that is NOT Depp. Look it up.

I think-the check out lady might be Mrs Stephen Schhwartz.

Thanks for sharing this. I love this particular song and I too would have loved to hear Lynn Thigpen singing the whole thing.

Patti Labelle Singing Cleanin' Women from this same show is the best part of this whole production. Can you please post it if you can find it or have it.

[DonDiva4u03]

She is more incredible then what I know! Thank you all for posting things like this. Please keep it going.

[blackpython]

Hmmm... maybe they shouldn't have let Stephen Schwartz direct this... cause it was basically "Point the camera at the person singing and do a close up. Kay? Kay. Now do that the entire song."

Though I liekd the song.

[TroyLewis06]

[kimokao]
