The original "Star-to-be" in ANNIE and the Narrator in "Joseph...". She was one of the original high belters and her singing helped change the sound of Broadway. There;s more of her fabulous singing on her website www.LaurieBeechman.com and more videos on my website, SethRudetsky.com.

  • Seth - love your deconstructions - keep them coming!

  • I loved Laurie and I miss her very much. Mein was the male voice that jumped the octave in those miserable colors. The women 'trying to find their note' always sounded like garbage trucks at 5am to me. Not that it was bad, just the same notes. Also, that quick slide up was one of Marge Rivingston's (the great vocal coach) tricks to easily reach a note. She helped me get through the high C's and D's in Benjamin's Calypso. You and you're shows are terrific. Charlie Serrano

  • Dude! your such a legend. Those chords that put you in a good mood? You are my chords.

  • Drive by harmony made me laugh so hard.

    Thanks for this, I saw Laurie Beechman in the original Annie when I was very young and for a long after after that, I was disappointed by other female Bway performances, wondering why they didn't put her in instead. I still recall her parts as the highlights of this show, very glad others still appreciate her talents.

  • Seth, this is just awesome. And I love reading the comments. Thanks so much.

  • You make me laugh with the expressions...

  • the drive by harmony cracked me up!! omg

  • Hey Seth; Thanks for all your great deconstructions! and especially for Laurie Beechman! Met he once in NY and she was the sweetest person and very interested in who ever she was talking with. Such a loss!

  • I have never been a big fan of "Joseph" but Laurie Beechman was amazing in this role!

    Despite stiff competition, I think she should have won the Tony.

  • oh my gosh this is great!! You are soo right, she is the best. You love the parts I love too! Just amazing! : ) Thanks for doing this!
