This inspires me as an aspiring music theatre performer, and it really shows me what to strive for. I can barely see the Baker's face at all, yet I am feeling 100% of the emotion. He doesn't need hand gestures or big facial stuff or whatever else. His voice says everything.
Great sining voices, but not enough interaction between the 2 characters...this song should be an epiphany between the 2 characters...the long lost father reuniting with his son and sharing his wisdom....not 2 personal monologues
The Baker's fantastic, but the Mysterious Man is *terrible*. I don't understand why companies always play the MM for laughs, when he spends the whole of the first act manipulating everyone, and his only appearance in Act 2 is such a sad one.
Disappointing the video cut out before the song was done... but WOW! The sheer emotions coming from the Baker through his voice had me crying the whole time. Simply an amazing performance!
Was always sad that I couldn't make it back to see this production. Neal, I could watch you do just about anything and be entertained. You always bring something out in your characters that's both familiar and new. Congrats to both of you - job well done.
what happened to the end of the song??

I'm surprised the mysterious man hasn't asked the baker for a shrubbery yet... the baker is fantastic though!

This is a good rendition, but I keep getting distracted because the Mysterious Man looks like something out of The Dark Crystal.

This voice is absolutely beautiful. He has such despair in his voice. He's gonna make it somewhere.

i don't like the old mans speaking voice. he's focusing too much on doing the voice then speaking truthfully.

This is the best non-broadway baker I have ever heard.
