  • Bravo! It's just amazing and beautiful combination of all three different songs and three different voices. How harmonic and graceful these ladies sang.

  • they kinda suck.

    

  • droopey boobs marin!

    

  • I recently read that Kuhn (btw, i was there that night on the main floor and this trio was just stunning -- it was arranged by David Loud) had something like a 103 degree temperature......she also that night sang Don't Rain On My Parade (not on any recording) and I love Kuhn but the sound in CHearly on that night was not on target (and I've felt that numerous times in the Hall, the only time I've been in C/Hall where the sound really crackled right was Rufus Wainwright's Judy Garland show)

  • I love Audra Mcdonald...............bravo.

  • Wow! This is phenomenal! What an amazing blending of voices.

  • МОЩЬ!!!ПРЕКРАСНО!!!БРАВО!!!

  • I still get the chills everytime I hear this song, the same as I felt 10 years ago

  • awesome...perhaps after 10 years, if I see this movie i would still be spell-bound :]

  • Здорово!...Радость от того,что ЭТО есть!..

  • This is the best

    

  • I've been looking for this song online all evening! Love it!

  • A magnificent trio. Wonderful solos for the first part and then the blending of all 3 different songs were perfect. Breathtaking!

  • I don't think Patti is gonna touch anything Andrew Lloyd Webber outside of Evita.

    

  • so very well

    

  • Just watching this makes me want to hug Marin Mazzie so badly. So very, very badly.

  • @winnconway I agree. I love her voice.

    

  • I love them, but i hate their dress!

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE AUDRA AND JUDY KHUN THE LAST SINGER IS THE VOICE OF DISNEY'S POCOHONTAS!

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE AUDRA AND JUDY KHUN THE LAST SINGER IS THE VOICE OF DISNEY'S POCOHONTAS

  • @jasonprince0304 Whoa somebody's having a caps lock issue and at any rate you misspelled the wonderful Ms. Kuhn's last name...

  • what performances. These women are pitch perfect at every moment. Its brilliant. If you get a chance listen to my version of gethsemane from Jesus christ superstar.

  • class

  • who are the 11 that disliked? 11 people who are confused

  • whoa is the first lady from private practice????? I didn't know she was a singer!!!

  • A GREAT PERFORMANCE! THREE GREAT B'WAY LEADING LADY SINGERS! GREAT VOICES! In a world gone mad with people loving non-talented noise makers like Lady Gaga, it is comforting to know there are still great singers like Audra, Marin, and Judy!

    BRAVO TO THESE LOVELY LADIES!

  • @BestMusicGuy1 Couldn't have said it better! In a world that's getting mass production and minimum quality just for the shock value and profit of it all, this is breathtakingly moving proof that they're still out there. <3

  • maravillas, maravillas de la Musica son las canciones de A. Ll. Weber....

    y maravillosas las voces que las interpretan!

  • In two words: "Just Beautiful."

    I am awed every time I watch this video at the beautiful voices of these three Broadway leading ladies! Thank the Lord that there is still a recognition of what truly lovely singing sounds like! One need look no further than this video to be enchanted by Audra, Marin, and Judy right here. They are true "Divas."

  • probably the best thing on youtube

  • yep ....sensational !

  • WOW! THREE SENSATIONAL BEAUTIFUL DIVAS PERFORMING TOGETHER!

    GREAT SOPRANO VOICES, GREAT SONGS! THIS IS TRULY MUSICAL PERFECTION! ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!!

  • - SENSATIONAL!!!

  • BEAUTIFULLY PERFORMED SONGS BY THREE LEADING LADIES OF BROADWAY!

    NOW THIS REALLY REALLY IS GREAT SINGING, BEYOND TODAY'S "AVAILABLE NOISE." AUDRA, MARIN AND JUDY NOW QUALIFY AS BEING TOP LEADING LADY PERFORMERS FOR ANY GENERATION!!

    YES! BEAUTIFUL LADIES, INCREDIBLE VOCAL RANGES AND PHRASING + GREAT SONGS! THIS IS MUSIC AT IT'S ABSOLUTE BEST! BRAVO LADIES!!!

  • I think I broke the like button.

  • Wooo...Judy Kuhn! I loved when she did the vocals for Pocahontas.

  • @TheLadycapricorn87.......and Cosette in the original Cosette in the Broadways cast of Les Miz and Broadway's original Florance in Chess.

    I met her and she had a great personality.

  • Audra McDonald... do i have to say anymore! Gorgeous and amazing!!!

  • AMAZING PEFORMANCES - BEAUTIFUL! LOVELY!

    Three Beautiful Woman! Three Angelic Voices! True Talent!

    When we are talking greatness, we need look no further than this video! Few comparable performances exist!

    This is a performance for the ages!! I am left with a feeling of beauty, joy and awe! Really BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • so great!! can't stop listening to this... really love this version of Unexpected Song! thanks for sharing...

  • All superb but my favourite is Marin.

  • Judy Kuhn is amazing. I have always loved her. She has a very organic quality about her voice, nothing is forced. Love it. This medley also proves my theory that ALW constantly rips himself off.

  • Comment removed

  • I've never been a big fan of Audra's singing... there is just something I have never liked about it

  • wow, they should try out for x factor

  • @tommyenglish1 fail.

  • @tommyenglish1 I agree, Judy Kuhn would do very well on X Factor.

    *facepalm*

  • top drawer

  • @dwain1771 You are very clearly deaf.

  • i got some serious goosebumps at 5:19 o.o who else did??

  • How beautiful and magnificent these three ladies are in this outstandingl interpretation of my favorite modern composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber's glorious music. Brava to all three of these marvelous voices...Thank you again you tube for bring beautiful music to my ears

  • How beautiful and magnificent these three ladies are in this beautiful interpretation of my favorite modern composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber's glorious music. Brava to all of three of these marvelous voices...Thank you again you tube for bring beautiful music to my ears

  • Is there a way to download this to my iTunes?

  • @musicaltheatergeek79 Search 'The Weber Love Trio' it should be the only song that comes up.

  • @merc4edez thank you so very much! Just downaloaded it.. I was not having any luck before 'cause I was spelling Webber correctly with two Bs. I wonder why they have it with one?

  • This is a masterpiece!

  • Gorgeous performers in their own crafts and rights. But its really difficult to take this calabre of singers and have them perform musical theatre. That said, this is an awesome arrangement! The musical director who pieced this together should be applauded

  • Comment removed

  • @svoteary Hello, I think there is a craft to putting across a Musical Theatre song, are you suggesting that if you have a good voice then performing a Musical Theatre number would be "easy"? Arrangement fabulous, singers, out of this world, but not all great singers give great performances. Thank goodness these ladies belt with the best of them. In fact they are the best...Hurrah for everyone!

  • @timtimato1 No, you misunderstand. I am simply stating that each in their own right is to perform at the highest level, and that it is challenging for one to cross to the other. When a performer of one genre can perform the other and make it still come across, that is a testament to their talent.

  • @svoteary Apologies, I was venting at you. I think that people persay, seem to think that Musical Theatre is all about the "T and T". Therefore the medium is somehow easy and quality performers shouldn't be given the same reverence as other musical genres. Thank you for responding and taking time to clarify your point. T.

  • These performances are the definitive "How To" of Musical Theatre. Indeed this performance has sparked the passion of many people to take up singing either professionally or as a lifestyle choice. I think it testiment not only to the greatness that can be achieved by the calibre of talent there is around but also proof of Musical Theatre evolution.Thanks to Britains own Elaine Paige, pioneering the belt to high chest sound which today is expected, this amazing love trio is a modern masterpiece.

  • What an amazing song! I am singing it in a showcase tomorrow with two of my best friends, if only we were this amazing (:

  • Why is "Unexpected Song" included in the "Love Trio" ?

  • Thank you for your answer. Can I purchase the transcription? Rita

  • @Katsofracus LOL yep.

  • If I was a woman, I would want to look like Marin Mazzie! PERFECTION!

  • @SuperchargedJCV I wish my wife looked like her too

  • What A Beautiful Performance, A Classic Song From A Classic Song Writer!

  • omg I am crying these women all sing beautifully!

  • Does anyone know where to purchase the sheet music to this arrangement? Thanks, Rita

  • That was great!

  • I have had this scored as used it several times.....once with two women and one man- it's a stunning piece....and yes, the man sang from Superstar

  • @4260laurel hi, can I purchase this scoring anywhere? Rita

  • @younmeprods

    try this musictranscriptions.webs.com. the score was transcribed from the live performance

  • I love the woman at the beginning - she has a great voice, great cover of the song! :)

  • I've watched this so many times on YouTube and other video sharing websites, as well as on DVD, but I still get goosebumps. Simply awesome!!

  • fantastic! bRAVO! encore!

  • gives me chills

  • Marin Mazzie destroys those words. In a good way! She just has this way f singing where you don't expect the voice based off of how she shapes her words, and then it's like... Bam! Beautiful voice. She s a goddess.

    Audra is just divine, that higher register of hers makes me want to die.

    Judy kuhn was slightly disappointing on her ascending note on way, I wanted belting glory there. Still amazing.

  • This performance takes my breath away every time I hear/view it!!

  • O_O !!!  + + + !!! .

  • brilliant!!!

  • No more to say ...

  • I expected Glenn Close to come out and sing..BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • omg the first singer is that actress from private practise!! isnt she??

  • I recognized her too. Great singer and actress.

  • Yes, Audra McDonald was on broadway before TV.

  • I wish she'd go back to Broadway. . . her talents are wasted on that show

  • I wouldn't say WASTED! But I do wish she would go back.

  • hey sorry, just not a fan of the show :)

  • 3 beautiful ladies with incredible voices , i always wanted to sing like this :((

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of the stranger comments I've seen. The body of a singer is totally irrelevant to the talent.

  • I love how Marin Mazzie has this GIGANTIC mouth and she just chews her words when she sings. It's really effective, but a bit weird until you get used to seeing it!

  • so true!

  • @yourshade A lot like Sherie Rene Scott.

  • Audra Mcdonald's voice is so sweet and light..

  • Yeah her voice is beautiful

  • Very very good!

  • these songs are done in counterpoint

  • FIERCE

  • who did the gown??

  • i really wish it had been a medley of Sondheim love songs.

  • The quality of these performers are what everyone who wants to get into the biz would love to emulate. It is incredible to me that the word "terrible" could ever enter into someone's mind when listening to this piece (no offence Macrogue65). It is easy to tear a song apart when it's videotaped. I have sung what I thought was very well only to discover mistakes when watching the vid. Stuff happens when you are performing. I believe this Love Trio would be hard to top anywhere, anytime.

  • Am I the only one who was devastated when Judy went into head voice at 4:20?

  • i believe she had a broken collar bone during this performance...either that or a broken rib. i forget. either injury makes it ridiculously painful to breathe, let alone sing. considering that, i think she gave an unbelievable performance lol

  • This is the most gay-licious performance of broadway love songs ever! and of course by gay I mean amazing. Give me chills every time I watch it. Great arranging, and the counterpoint sounds great.

  • ok so i attend the A.M.D.A ( yes i know not every one loves that school) and our teacher's husband was one of tthe music producers for the show and the reason Audra Mcdonald looks like she is breathing shallow is beacuase she has a broken rib during this...... just thought i would let it be known

  • omg is this audra mcdonald from private practice? can't believe she can sing

  • HOly cow she's amazing! singing is what she does! acting is a side thing lol

  • Yes, it's the same Audra. She was trained as a voice major at Julliard. Check out the OCR of "Ragtime" if you want to hear some Tony Award winning singing!

  • Hi yimcoy, sorry can't help you on the score, we used copies from the voice coach for our class. She's stopped coaching to do composing full-time now, so I'm not in touch and don't know where she got them. I suppose it;s useful to know they exist....

  • The first woman is Audra McDonald.

    The second woman is Marin Mazzie.

    The third woman is Judy Kuhn.

    Shut your trap.

  • I like Marin's voide, but she is wearing TOO MUCH make up...LOL

  • andrew lloyd webber a LIVING LEGEND.... SO MANY TALENT

  • Andrea McDonald isn't forcing her voice at all . . . she's the greatest Black Soprano to live. . . I don't understand how you can say she's forcing her voice?!

    I hate ALW but do love this arrangement with three power house Broadway women!!!

  • audra.

  • that's possibly the most stupid thing i've ever done. . . i was on the phone talking about Andrea Burns in "in the heights" thanks for the correction!!

    Man, i grew up with ragtime! bad times

  • Wonerful.

  • Amazing! they mix the big three songs together.I's very difficult to sing and listen too,but it's good.I love this.

  • Thats the beauty of coutnerpoint

  • Estos temas son increibles, gracias Andrew

  • is it just me or does marin have a strangley shaped mouth when she sings ?

  • I've noticed that to in everything she does! The shape may be funny, but the sounds that come out are incredible!

  • I don't know that it's oddly shaped as much as she really opens it when she sings. Incredible voice.

  • its the same as Glenn Close when she sings! Something pretty magical about that mouth shape lol

  • Marin Mazzie slays me when she goes to the low notes

  • audra and judy are awesome!!

  • Comment removed

  • this is a show-stopping number....I have used it in several shows.....takes some good singers but well worth it.

  • This is the first time I've heard this trio. Wow, I love it. I'd love to do the 'Unexected Song' part some time being a full soprano and all....LOL I sang that song at my best friends' wedding, too.

  • Hi there! Do you happen to know how to find the accompienment (sp) music for this trio?

  • I have searched for a score for three years in vain. If you find one please post it.

    Thank you

    ylmccoy

  • I'm currently arranging it, will post when finished :)

  • I'm producing a concert in the fall. I would like to use this song.  I was wondering where you got the rights for it?

  • Where did you find the sheet music to this trilogy?? I have searched and searched.

    Please advise.

    Thank you.

  • @ylmccoy

    you can find a transcription of this live performance at this site musictranscriptions.webs.com

  • Isso sim que é perfomance e sofisticação... Belas canções. Interpretadas por belas mulheres com uma voz e uma emoção arrepiante...

  • This is great, especially the end... the songs go together great and so do the voices.

  • judy kuhn looks sick of having to sing lloyd webber again.

  • Or she could be putting a little appropriate emotion into the song. After all, the character singing the song is bothered, disturbed, upset, scared.

  • ya i go to CAP ever heard of it?

  • Beautiful arrangement. does anyone know who did the arranging?

  • i have to learn that song 4 my acting classes its so beautiful!

  • you do acting? great!

  • Judy Kuhn is definetely the underdog.

    But Audra McDonald is fucking amazing.

  • I TOTALLY AGREE!!!! :)

  • I think Judy just looks nervous for some reason. Its odd because I never thought of her as a nervous person but she looks kinda deer in headlight here.

  • @MissBroadwayDork She is painfully aware that she is being out-sung. She's out of her league vocally in the company of McDonald and Mazzie.

  • Marin Mazzie singing Unexpected Song? Yes please!!

  • Marin Mazzi sings Unexpected song

    Judy Kuhn - I dont know how to Love him

    Audra Mc Donald - Love Changes everything

  • If I could sing half as good as ONE of them, my life would be MADE.

  • does anyone remember watching this on pbs back in i think it was '99 or '00?

  • They're so amazing. I kind of want to be all of them when I grow up ... haha, what talent!

  • This is the most beautiful and angelic trio I have ever heard. The first three times I watch this I smiled and teas were brought to my eyes. Thank you so much for posting this. It truly demonstrates the beauty in this world. The voice such an amazing thing from God!

  • The three gracious Diva's of musical theater; it cannot get better !

  • I was there that night...probably about the best seven or so minutes I've ever seen, especially when Kuhn comes in as the cleanup batter.....a once in a lifetime kind of moment...even my then BF, who could care less about musical theater, was on his feet

  • "cleanup batter" love it!

  • i absolutely lost my mind when they performed this that night at carnegie hall, and i don't even like lloyd weber. magnificent.

  • I love this song by this three divas.....

  • I know! They're all different kinds of amazing but they come together at the end and become even more amazing.

  • when i watched this at the cruise by some staff on the ship, it was titled as MY FAVORITE BROADWAY DIVAS. Im still at large looking for this kind of DVD. Somewhat the owner of the said DVD told me that she bought it in UK. and it cost a sounding pounds of money.

  • audra is my god

  • Very nice. I've not stopped watching it. Anyone know how i can get the score???

  • I love this song especially when Judy joins in. Her voice is just FANTASTIC!!!
