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).
