  • Well done on not giving away the spoiler. But, why didnt Jessica sing her part? I mean, she WAS there, lol.

  • he doesn't move around as amazingly as aaron tveit but he was good.

  • we are holding audtion in florida for next to normal and we would love for you to come out this is a paid show and it will be a florida primer show the compiney doing the show is called airhead productions please send head shoot and resima if interest to tecman@cfl.rr.com thanks ryan roberge

  • Take it easy on the pianist. @:40sec she misses the odd meter and comes in early. Nice recovery though and finishes off really well!  Playing in Vancouver now. Saw it last night. Amazing!

  • beautiful voice, she has talent.. can't say the same about the pianist.

  • I met her, she's so nice :)

  • Hahaha nice

  • Is the pianst an understudy as well?

  • @latkins93 Hahaha! Gosh she has such a gorgeous voice. I would love to play Natalie. I have a dad diagnosed bipolar. I can relate to a lot of instances in this storyline.

  • THESE TWO ARE FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of corse that gy is no where nearly as beatifl as Aaron Tveit... but who could measure p to that?

  • I'm sorry, what was this video called? Supergirl and the Drunken Pianist?

    Well, she did great despite the accompaniment 

  • @LSprague42 I agree, thats how I play when i'm smashed on half a bottle of wine and a few beers!

  • @jaszon28 yes she was

  • Wow she sounds so different live!! I guess no matter what, recordings will always alter the sound.

  • @jaszon28 yes :)

  • beautiful! why have I never heard this song before?

  • People, Meghann knows she's not Jenn Damiano. She plays the role completely differently- her Natalie is less openly snarky and sarcastic and more honest about her insecurities. She has a phenomenal voice and is going to make it big one day.

  • She's hot.

  • You can tell she was like WTF in the beginning. Lol. Poor thing but you did a good job at tuning him out.

  • Meghann is genius!!!!

  • Is that Hellen Keller on the piano?? That poor girl! That's right, Honey...sing loud to try to drown out the clanker.

  • The pianist did suck. to the commenter who siad it was piano part only yes but so is all piano sheetmusic and i have yet to hear a version that bad

  • The pianist sucks, but wen you are doing musical theatre you have to sing as if the pianist isnt there. The pianists job is to keep up with you. Not the other other way around. Its VERY hard and scary to do but you have to pretty much do a "I'm gonna sing this whether you keep up or not."

  • Wow. I may even like her better than Damiano. 

  • Does she live in San Francisco? I swear I was sitting by her at a performance of the show in the Bay Area, she was being critical about a lot of the singing and such. She seemed very knowledgeable about the show though, looked a lot like her if it wasn't her.

  • She's pretty good :)

  • Well, she got the role on Broadway, so I think all the people bad-mouthing her can suck it.

  • wow! you guys are sooo good!

  • The pianist doesn't mess up at all. Meghann must have awful musically. She comes in early!

  • yeah it's definitely the piano player's fault

  • loving the glare she gives at 0:41

  • i think the pianist is just taking it too slow. it sounds like they r hitting the right notes. lol

  • i saw her when i saw next to normal. he was amazing

  • The people saying the pianist sucked: think about it. The person playing the piano had to play all the parts of an orchestra! Lay off.

  • @niamhy888 false. the pianist is only covering the piano part here. nothing else.

  • its all good, you guys. the pianist was fine, meghann was great. the performance was certainly not ruined!!

  • this was the first time i heard Meghann sing before! it was amazing:)) looooove her voice!!!

  • wow. this pianist sucks.

  • @TheLovebroadway Yeah, clearly he did not think he was gonna have to play that day!

  • amazing voice !!!!!

  • Can the pianist count? I think not.

  • Meghann!!! God, girl, you're just awesome. I miss being in class with you...keep shining, hun!

    from Amie (LHS)

  • Nice to see her non OLTL efforts for the first time today. She should be in a shampoo commercial as she has an awesome head of hair.

  • wow, such a fantastic voice!

  • Her voice is amazing.

  • Oh my god, she has a beautiful voice.

  • God, I love watching this and thinking about how much she's improved. I think she does great here, but over the course of 9 months I've seen her 3 times in Next To Normal and each time she really does get better and better.

  • She forgot to add her brother is not alive. Nevertheless she is an AWESOME singer.

  • @EnchantedSilence That would ruin the plot for the people who had yet to see the show, that's why they keep the twist quiet. =)

  • @BwayBoundChristian I've never seen the show and I didn't know it was a twist to the plot. I thought it was something everyone knew before the show even gets going.

  • @EnchantedSilence Haha, I haven't either and I didn't figure out that was a twist until I told it to two people. xD ahaha. I felt really bad about it.

  • @EnchantedSilence that'd be a spoiler for those who haven't seen the show.

  • @freelancetada I haven't seen the show and I've known since the first time I saw saw the Tony's performance, I could just tell, it's seems obvious.

  • I hate how she had to yell the whole thing to be heard. Amazing job.

  • She's really good but i could play piano better..

  • woooww i agree. meghann is amazing, but that piano guy is completely off rhythm and everything! he should have practiced..

  • Wow, I saw N2N on Broadway with Jennifer Damiano and I was worried about her replacement but Meghann Fahy is incredible! :)

  • Meghann is phenomenally talented but way too INSECURE, like she thinks the audience won't absorb her amazing talent. She needs more faith in her performance, and to make it a bit more muted and understated, with more finesse. Once she does that, it's big-streen time.

  • @BettorOffSingle Apparently now that she has taken over the part of Natalie she is playing it more subtle and she is supposed to phenomenal.

  • @Cyb3rBurn I've only seen her on One Life To Live, and I haven't seen a better actress in the last fifteen years. Her sense of nuance is incredible, which is why this video surprised me. Maybe she's just overworked! She has a kind of sexy that requires a great body, tons of training, and a genius IQ. Rare.

  • @BettorOffSingle ahaha nooo! i mean shes GREAT singer! and an OKAY actor. the ppl on that show are actually alot better

  • @livi1226 The people on OLTL have had years to play characters who aren't half as complex as Hannah. I'm the wrong guy to ask about stage acting, since Im' not much of a fan of it. I'm also really picky where singers are concerned.

  • @Cyb3rBurn i saw her yesterday, she was fantastic!

  • What in the world! The pianist must have never seen this song before.

  • Meghann is fantastic, but for me there is only one Natalie, and that's Jen.

  • @esswrig AMEN TO THAT!

  • she should try out for Glee since she can sing and act.

  • i think i watch this video too much

    can't wait to go see her when she takes over the role :)

    stupid piano player...get it right

  • in defense of both the piano player and meghann.... she did miss her entrance, she came in a few beats too early and was off for the first three lines.... after that she was fine and did an excelent job...however the piano player not only played the introduction poorly, but didnt accent the 5/8 bar as it should have been, causing her to miss her cues. in the original, the 5/8 has heavy accents on those 2 beats, which you'll notice the pianist didnt do for the first 4 phrases with that in it

  • is that kyle dean massey?

  • @twilightrox2468 no...i'm not sure who it is but it's definitely not kyle, doesn't look anything like him.

  • @ffandbffan It's Timothy Young, the understudy for Gabe and Henry!

  • @Kanitydane1014 Not the understudy anymore.

  • @twilightrox2468 It's tim young

  • i wouldnt blame the pianast, the singer sped the tempo up too much

  • her riff on "i'd fly away from here" goes super flat...acting a little forced but she has a beautiful voice and there is no denying that

  • VERY nice!

  • You guys are completely wrong about the pianist. First off, he's probably sight-reading which is amazing in itself. Second, it wasn't even his fault. Those who know this song well knows that it switches from 5/8 to 6/8. Meghann kept coming in wrong. The pianist followed her very well. Meghann is brilliant, I'm not denying that, but I'm so sick of these stupid teenage Broadway fans who don't know anything they're talking about. I said my peace.

  • @Hairspray1234 meghann only missed her entrance once right at the beginning, and it sounded like it was just because she wasn't sure how many bars of intro she had. once she adjusted and the two synced up what measure they were on, the rest of it was fine. not sure what you mean by "kept coming in wrong."

  • no one is comparrison to Jennifer, shes okay, but i just love Jennifers voice so much more!!!

  • I am forced to comment. As a pianist/trumpet player (essentially, a musician) first and then a singer second, I have to say that the slip up was NOT the pianist's fault. I won't go off about her acting (which wasn't great in my opinion, to be honest) but the real issue was that the song goes in and out between a 6/8 that you can feel in 2t o 5/8. She actually misses her cue, and for the rest of the song, the pianist helps her out. THe girl has a nice voice, but she can't count.

  • I saw Meghann live and loved her performance. She is so talented, hate her character on OLTL though haha

  • I finally saw Meaghann, she was amazing.

  • This is pretty awful and just painful. She just can't act! I was jumping for joy when the Gabe understudy came in and saved her.

  • Meghann looks really bad compared to Jennifer...otherwise she is fine

  • poor meghann! that pianist sucked!

  • she is sooo goood. i loved the musical. i recommend you see it! i liked her more then the original daughter

  • Wow that was great!

  • actually i saw her in N2N and she really was not that good. She has an incredible voice but the acting was almost awful. Then I saw N2N for the second time and saw Jen Damiano and Jen blew her out of the water! Jen IS the perfect Natalie. I'm sorry but i was not impressed at all with Meghan. She needs to work on her acting.

  • hate to be controversial, but don't blame the pianist either!

    I think given the music, the pianist did fairly well. They had trouble staying together for a second at the beginning.

    I don't think this song particularly works on the piano...it doesn't have the same impact without that orchestra

  • I saw her on Broadway, she's the understudy.

  • the pianist is horrible, but Meghann is amazing! I;m hopefully seeing N2N in June and i wouldnt mind seeing her as natalie she's just as good as Jennifer...but i NEED to see Alice!

  • I'm a big fan of Jennifer Domiano, but this young lady is very good. Looking forward to seeing her soon. I love N2N, seen it 8 times, always with the original cast, would like to see the understudy, especially Meghan. Great Job young lady.

  • I got to see her play Natalie this past week (after seeing Jennifer play it last summer), and I might have actually enjoyed Meghann's performance more. Jennifer's awesome, but Meghann might be more suited for this part.

  • haha wow she's amazing!!

    she does need a new pianist though haha he/she kinds sucks

  • I just saw it this past week, and she filled in for Jennifer. She was FANTASTIC!

  • she's incredible. i saw n2n this past week for the first time and i saw her in it instead of jennifer. she blew my mind

  • bad pianist, but meghann is FABULOUS! i kind of hope i get to see her some day instead of jennifer (don't get me wrong, jennifers amazing, but you know)

  • OMG!!! Wow!!! this girl is amazing. You don't hear voices like that everyday. =)

  • holy crap she is really good :D

  • She has a great voice but I think the pianist is playing with his elbows...

  • Watch for Meghann as Hannah on One Life to Live. Premier's February 25th.

  • Comment removed

  • it goes between 6/8 and 5/8...but I agree, this pianist is awful

  • Wow, poor girl that pianist sucked!! haha

  • @BellatrixNellieLovet He needs to speed up and quiet down.

  • She is ok nothing incredible!

  • i saw meghann when i saw n2n and i thought she was absolutely amazing, she was so nice afterwards and talked to us for such a long time, this video isnt her at her best and def doesnt do her justice, jenn is good as well, cant wait to see her, as for chemistry i think they both have it with henry dan and diana

  • this is fantastic! However, I wish the paino was turned down a smidgen. But, it's a great piece, none the less!

  • I've seen N2N 4 times (once with Meg, 3 times with Jenn) and I personally liked Meghann's version of Natalie better. I'm totally not bashing Jenn , I loved her too but there's just something about Meghann's....

  • I saw N2N at the end of December last year and I saw it with both Meghann and Jessica Phillips. They're voices go together so perfectly. I really love them together, especially on "Wish I Were Here." They were fantastic.

  • I saw it that night too. It was great and at first I was disappointed about getting understudies, but they blew me away.

  • I saw Meghann last night in N2N (Timothy Young was also understudying Henry and was great) and Meghann blew me away - the absolute star of the show: funny, moving, amazing singer...and cute as well! If you haven't seen this show then you have to go watch! Slightly disappointed that in this version they didn't get Jessica coming in with Diana's part - but love the moment Timothy (Gabe) joins in - in the show it's even better!!

  • cant the find a better pianist?

  • She is AMAZING in the show. I've seen both Jennifer and Meghann perform the piece, and Meghann's Natalie is so sweet and innocently forgotten.

    At the stage door, Meghann's WAY nicer than Jennifer. Jennifer just smiles and signs and moves on, whereas Meghann is truly interested in the fans, and makes an effort to engage in a conversation with them.

  • Agreed about Meghann! I just saw the show this past Friday and she was SO sweet. She asked us where we were from and we told her and she thought it was so great we came to see her from the bottom of PA. She's such a dear!

  • I saw her jan 2nd she was amazing and after the show she came outside to sign and take pictures, and it was fucking freezing!

  • i saw her last night and she was awesome!!!

  • @ChickaaaBoom me too! She was really fantastic; I met her after the show and she was really sweet.

  • saw the it last night and i have already seen jennifer perform and let me tell you meghan has as much talent i even liked her a little more!

  • I saw her yesterday in the show. She did an amazing job.

  • Jennifer Damiano has someone coming for her!!!

  • what a crappy pianist

  • piano player missed a beat somewhere around 0:40

  • does anyone know how to pronounce her last name?

  • Fay

  • I think it's "fah-ee."

  • She seems off pitched..

    and she came in late a few times, I'm pretty sure.

    However, she's a great Natalie and has a beautiful voice!

  • actually...she came in early, then tried to hold back a bit and then made it late. it was weird. but youre right about the off-pitched. shes a bit shouty. but she definitely does have a great voice

  • it was the pianist's fault. She was trying to compensate his mistakes and she did great.

  • yes she was on the bottem of the pitch i think

  • woooooooow... I'm totally in love with Jennifer Damiano, but Meghann was really, really amazing. Karl. Her voice is amazing... Still love Aaron.

  • i saw her last night. she was fantastic!

  • i like her as natalie better in my opinion. shes so pretty and has an amazing voice! i saw her on friday but it was the 2nd time and i liked her better then j.damiano (:

  • I saw her last night at the show for Natalie, and she was realllllllly good. And she was SO sweet signing autographs and taking pics at the stage door

  • no one can sidle like aaron (:

  • both were amazing

    but i think the guy was trying to hard to do the aaron tveit body lunge thing.

  • haha i was thinking that too

    and btw, love the sn xD

  • lol

    thanks

    XD

  • really good! you have amazing talent

  • Sssssssssssuperboy and the invisible girl...haha that was funny. I hate it when that happens.

  • Both voices are phenomenal...but I have to agree with the comments about the pianist...seemed to struggle quite a bit. And it distracted from the performance.

  • Meghann looks like Sara Paxton

  • she's really fast...

  • its the pianist.

  • The pianist sucks so bad.

  • most of that has to do with this being a song made for guitar and it's hard to convert the two. but it does take away from the song a little...

  • I think the pianist thinks that he is doing the show all by himself!

  • The bitter face she has during the song was probably directed to the accompanist. I don't blame her.

    She's kickass.

  • I find it really funny that Tim gets to play Natalie's brother.. and her boyfriend :) haha, ah, the wonder of understudies.

  • dare I say that I like her voice even better than the original? She's GREAT!!!

  • she's excellent! such a pure voice.

    .. the piano on the other hand ..

  • veryyyy god. but the pianist was horrible

  • i love her

  • WOAHHH PIANO SUCKED A_S_S

  • wtf is up with the pianist?

  • out of time but such a good voice!!!

  • Jenn and Meghann live in the same house together

  • If anyone needs N2N music just message me I have the whole score!

  • I think that she was so focused on keeping the song on track (because the piano part was really awkward) that she couldn't really focus on the acting. I want to see her do this with a the orchestra

  • mmmmmm. Her voice is beautiful. Without a doubt.

    But I just don't feel anything. I don't really care for her acting in this. She seems, well for lack of a better word, bored. Just saying.

  • well when your accompaniest is going the speed of a bar a minute than we'll try to feel something from you too ;) i for one think shes fantastic and the pianist is a cockface

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!

  • I think she's amazing! Beautiful voice!! AMAZING

  • Beautiful voice. Beautiful girl. :)

  • Personally i think she acts great through the song. She uses the music to bring her through the song. Amazing!!!!!!! I Cry every time I hear her sing this. I watch it at least 2 times a day. She is beautiful tooo. I wish i could've been the piano player though.... he kinda was bad and I know this song well enough to pull it off.

  • she has a good voice. just based on this video i didn't care for her acting, which i consider more important. but i'm sure we'll see her in something

  • Maybe it's just this performance, but I don't think she seems that great....like, at all. Go Jenn! :)

  • Meghann is absouletely amazing, I like her way better than Jennifer. I think she should be principal.

  • I will admit that this girl has a great voice, and I would be happy to see her in the role...but I think Jennifer has the better voice. Plus, Jennifer is absolutely incredible live.

  • she should be principal..her voice is better then jennifer's

  • you are very talented, keep it up

  • Wow! One of the best understudies I've ever heard :]

  • She is definitely not understudy material. She's way too good.

  • i love her i saw her when jen was at graduation and she was sooooooo AMAZING!!!!!!!!! honestly, she should be natalie every show

  • Comment removed

  • Woah, what a great voice. I really felt bad for her when she and the pianist got off...I know what that's like. : )
