Laura Benanti joins Seth to model her Italian afro (courtesy of
the rain) and recreates some funny moments from her Tony-winning role in "Gypsy". The pair also try to help troubled singers everywhere by demonstrating what you shouldn't do in an audition.

Her "bad audition" is hilarious. But still so good.

I've watched this video, more specifically the end, once a day for the past week. I'm OBSESSED. Haha... it's a pun.

@OscarMoeRuffus Thanks.So it's a rhythm thing. Thought it had something to do with placement in the throat. Thanks for clearing it up.

@OscarMoeRuffus It's when a singer sings behind the beat of the music. When used properly it sounds dramatic and soulful, when used inappropriately it sounds like a big, ugly mess and ruins the line of the music.

Augh, you psyched me out with the Wicked songbook! Thought I was gonna hear her sing something from the show.
