Katie Babb sings "On the Steps of the Palace"

[asparaguslover44]

I'm looking for pointers character wise to sing this at an audition and this is fabulous! I'm seriously about to go in front of the mirror and imitate you, because I think if I could do half this well I'd get the part in an instant :)

[HannahNiicoleJessop]

I need to learn this song by Friday, such crazy lyrics, need a miracle!

[musicgrl132]

i think her sister and i took voice lessons with the same teacher at least i think its her sister

[tulipstokissyouwith]

She obviously understands character; it's awesome. And I like the dress, but could do without the gloves...

[sirkkabellemiller]

she is excellent. 

[peace4111]

I'm Cinderella, and I think I'll definately take notes from YOU! (:

[WickedBroadwayLove]

these lyrics are incredible.

why is Sweeney Todd the only sondheim show i know well? huh. that's gonna change soon :P

it was performed WONDERFULLY :)

[marthamoo14]

Really great, your very good at mixing singing with the right amount of acting and making the singing seem effortless( which we know it is not). I am singing this song for our production of it and am having trouble hitting the very high notes but you seem to simply float up to them :) xx Well done

[Kerr1956]

This the most charming rendition of Steps of the Palace that I have seen.a

[bookwormdownunder]

best performance of this song ive seen

[themitschster]

I'm Cinderella in our school's production in March. :)

[TripleAAAproduction1]

i am also trying out for this part at my school

[herobydefault1]

I really like this cinderella, she's fantastic and likeable and funny and natural. Her voice is great too! And I love how she doesn't overact the part :)

[octoberigrl]

I am loving this song! i am doing for our towns rhodery festival! I am soooo ex

cited!

[hamletisastud]

I think her interpretation of the song is the best I've seen yet. It is clever and funny, the way I think the song was originally intended to be.

[Leppicon77]

i saw her last night in the tour of Fiddler on the Roof and she played Hodel. i was like WHERE HAVE I HEARD HER VOICE BEFORE AND THEN IM LIKE OMG !! HERE!! HAHAH

[WeMustPlunge]

When I first approached the role, whilst I was delighted at getting a lead character, I found her a bit dull. We are three weeks from the show now and it's been challenging! I think it's possible to survive with light acting and a pretty voice, but so much more fun when you really use your brain to make her more interesting. My Cinderella is holding her own now :)

[emilybeth33]

@WeMustPlunge

i am totally having the same problem! i thought cinderella would be a fairly easy character but she totally isnt!

[lecrownoir]

Very good Cinderella.

[froggiezzz]

im in this show and i got the part of cinderella!!!

[WeMustPlunge]

Oh... I LIKE her :)

[kashmirage]

wonderful! but the glottal attacks at the beginning were out of place it worked out by the middle :] great

[caitlinmariebowen01]

arr, im playing cinderella in july (: its well high

[polkaspotz94]

its not all that high, i played her last year and im an alto. youll have lots of fun though!!!

[PalindromeChica]

i played her last year too, actually! it took me a long time to be able to get the high notes, but it was SO FUN! you'll do great.

[BrokenBroadway]

You are amazing. This is one of my dream roles and ( it's my dream college), so I hope if I ever get this part I'll sound half as good as this.

[Mjant45]

What's with her gloves? They look like Playtex Living Gloves sprayed gold...just awful. Slap the costume designer!

[fjays]

wow.. that's fantastic. really love it!

[PalindromeChica]

omg lilmisshollywood02 the SAME thing just happened to me! but i'm so excited!

[LilMissHollywood02]

oh, good luck! ya im excited to, and ive been practicing. im a bottom line (an alto) so i hav absolutley no idea why i got it. But i really hope u do good! <33

[LilMissHollywood02]

omg, i just got the part of cinderella, and i hav NO IDEA how i am goin 2 hit those high notes!!! vry nicely done btw

[renethel]

That is a really unique interpretation of the song! I like it! I also like the staging!

I portrayed Cinderella in a production of "Into the Woods", and I wish that I was half as good as Katie Babb was in the role! :D

[Elziws15]

Wow, your amazing. Your voice is wonderful and your acting is perfect for into the woods. Good work!

[hwaprincess]

pretty voice and pretty dress.

[Theater00jock]

I really like this performance. I usually find that alot of girls who perform this miss the humor. I loved the fact that you don't feel like you need to sing every note. Very conversational. We can tell your voice is gorg we don't need to be spoon fed it. and you definatly pulled it off.

[Lilythesinger]

verrrrrrrrry good

[Sitiden]

Just randomly I thought I would YouTube my name, and look what I found!

Fun, especialy since I enjoy theatre as well too! May I only do something like this one day!@

[KatieRiley2]

gorgeous!

[pete422188]

Thoroughly enjoyable.

[mny152]

Katie! I'm finally on YouTube so I can rate this song! You are fabulous, the song was wonderful and you look ravishing, Cinderella :O)

[casadecruz]

She is really, really good. Did she become a professional? She is every bit as good as the broadway version.

[pglee]

Katie just incredible. Such a huge step to go from of the stages of Chico to NYU. I'm so proud of you!

[pglee]

You've come such a long way from The New Moon.

[swindah]

amazing job! you were fabulous in Dear World!

[kate51392]

rly good acting..

[kateyip]

so it is.

[broadwayboi90]

though she should be called katie BOOB! wowzah!

[broadwayboi90]

woot woot!

[Zorrina19]

She is an amazing actor!

[MakeMusic4Life]

the musical precision in this production is amazing! and Katie Babb is not only a great musician, she makes GREAT acting choices!

[babbagecabb]

while i am bound to Kim Crosby's version forever,

this was VERY impressive!

[hlmrrm]

I enjoyed this better than Kim Crosby's version.

[GinevraWeasly]

She is really good!

[californiawine85]

i agree! she and the baker's wife are obviously trained musicians! is this a new program at NYU? is it in tisch?

[keb303]

not tisch, steinhardt. its the vocal performance department where students can get an emphasis either in music theatre or classical voice. its a relatively new program but is really starting to gain recognition. thanks for the nice comment!

[JuillHope17]

POST MORE OF THIS PRODUCTION, PLEASE. this is obviously a very good production.

[krazykat2006]

Excellent actor and singer! This is amazing.....I believe every word. Amazing performance of a tremendous and difficult song!! :-)

[cadenzadiva]

HI- this is actually a comment on another video you posted but I don't know if you're still looking at those comments, so anyway-all your performances are great; I'm wondering if you have the sheet music to "Beyond my wildest dreams" from little mermaid and if so, could I possibly get (or buy) a copy from you? I can leave my contact info on a message if you comment back- don't know if you're still looking at these comments.

thanks

AMY

[ur2g2b4got]

awesome. One of the best cinderellas ive seen

[blueofdaybreak]

this is great! :-)

[hidiiiiiii]

i thought this was really good. you have a voice i envy.

[StoryCat]

she makes such a great cinderella. this song is very difficult, brava!

[Feathersandploom]

its pretty good.

not amazing

but good!

[BarefootSoprano]

Great performance --- her facial expressions are brilliant.

[MilkmanConspiracy]

Does the narrator sound like Anthony Rapp to anyone else?

[kevisaurus]

Nope.

[MilkmanConspiracy]

Well, obviously not to you.

[Solar2]

lol! You're right!

[FoggyRoad81]

Great phraser and actor...kinda sorta a little bit flat in some places, but a great performance that you don't really notice. You can't teach that kind of phrasing and timing though.

[singingnymph]

Patter song + Sondheim music = very difficult. Excellent job.

[Nessa24601]

"...well he cares!"

XD

She's PERFECT!

[WheresMyPrize]

I definitely think she is not a wannabe. NYU always has amazing theatrical productions with what I would consider professional actors/actresses.

[elizard14141414]

she did soooo well with this!

[suzebaker]

she was my roomie in first year!!!!

[musicfan1306]

katie babb did a fabulous job and I love this song. She the best singer out of all of the Youtube wanna-be "On the Steps of the Palace" singers. Good job, Katie!
