Broadway on YouTube III
It’s been tough to find interesting musical theatre clips on YouTube lately (but no shortage of Les Miz clips); here’s the cream of the crop:
Dreamgirls:
- Preview of the upcoming film – includes a short clip of the title song
- Michael Bennett tribute from the 1988 Tony Awards – “Dreamgirls” & “The Music & the Mirror”
- Jennifer Holliday sings “And I Am Telling You” at Radio City Music Hall
- Whitney Houston sings “And I Am Telling You”
- Quartet version of “And I Am Telling You”
- Florida A&M Marching Band performs “And I Am Telling You”
Actors’ Fund CHESS Concert:
- Adam Pascal and Julia Murney sing “Nobody’s Side”
- Adam Pascal sings “Pity the Child”
- Julia Murney and Sutton Foster sing “I Know Him So Well”
More Musicals:
- Julia Murney sings “People” at the Actors’ Fund Funny Girl concert
- The cast of Altar Boyz at the 2005 Easter Bonnet
- Bernadette Peters sings “Rose’s Turn” from Gypsy
- Melba Moore sings “I Got Love” from Purlie
- Patti Lupone sings ‘”By the Sea” (Part 2) from Sweeney Todd (the new Broadway version)
TV commercials:
And just for fun, Nell Carter, Thelma Hopkins, and Lynne Thigpen sing a medley on Gimme A Break (they would have kicked ass on a Dreamgirls medley).

Tax Time II
Oops. Looks like I did my taxes too early. 🙂
Because April 15 was on a Saturday, most people in the country had until Monday, April 17 to file. But residents of New York, along with the other six states serviced by the Massachusetts RS processing center, have until Tuesday, April 18 to file because Massachusetts celebrates Patriot’s Day [via]

Tax Time
I don’t know why I always wait to the last minute to file my taxes, but I know I’m not alone. Fortunately, I qualified for free Federal and NY State e-filing through tax-engine.com.
This year I ended up having to pay an addition $122 in federal taxes, but I’m getting a refund of $123 from New York state. Net gain = $1.
