www.playbill.com/video It is common knowledge that Tony winner Laura Benanti is one of the most respected actresses on Broadway and television. But with a reputation like that, there comes a profound responsibility - she must pass along the amazing amount of knowledge about her craft that she has accumulated over the years. Here, Benanti does just that as she gathers together a group of youngsters from the Broadway Artists Alliance for a master class. Engaging the young thespians with innovative and somewhat unorthodox techniques, Benanti delivers lessons that will not soon be forgotten.

I've actually had that reaction when people didn't know who Sondheim was.

Jesus. This is so true for people my age who think they're into theater but don't know Steve Sondheim.

I love sondheim so much. and r&h. i cant stand the kids at my school who claim they are huge music theater fans but they are only about rent and whatever pop rock musical that is currently running on broadway. a musical shouldnt have to be cool to get ur attention. that isnt art that is wanting to be cool.... laura knows being the theater kid has nothing to do with being cool haha ❤️ but i hate how all the kids at my school who get the big musical roles are very cool so they act like they dont care and they are very low energy.... it’s such a shame. (there is one girl who gets the main role every year but she is actually very theatrical.... the other big parts however go to ppl who are too cool to really exaggerate, which is the number one rule of theater 🙄🙄🙄🙄)

Whoever doesn't know who Stephen Sondheim is I will literally kill! He's my lyrical inspiration! Whilst Jonathan Larson is my musical inspiration

@AvalonMorley 7 жыл бұрын

"Literally"?! You might want to rethink that. Remember Maestro Sondheim's respect for words, and what they mean. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any great affection for homicidal folk, no matter how inclined they might be toward musical theater. Yeah, he'll write shows about 'em, but don't expect any invitations to tea or cocktails.

So much for 'clear diction' for actors. This is the problem with mic packs. They produce lazy voices. Half of the lines in this vid are poorly delivered due, mainly, to audio balance or the Director was shizanhausen. Yep. That isn't a compliment.

btw i hate carrie underwoods singing voice and i like laura better than idina menzel. im 18 and i adore laura! if i was in this class id be freaking out (and rightfully so!) and i love this satire of kids only liking pop modern musicals. the kids are so funny & great actors
