She bursts into a showtune type song in I think the first ep of Six Feet Under so I knew she could sing coz of that, but this is incredible.

She studied at Tanglewood. Professional opera singer. An an actress. Hallmark.

@@lynnthompson4202 I know. I love her in Six Feet Under.

Christopher Reed actually you would because the voice is strained unnaturally

@@ssncns What rubbish. Some people always have to try and put others down, don't they? You're wrong anyway.

Well... You could end up like Julie Andrews.

You’re right! Obviously you’d stop to rest and refresh. So you can as long as you’re also smart about it & not have medics ruin it for you. Poor Julie Andrews.

Truly unbelievable voice. Makes me hate today's music even MORE! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mark Marderosian She was terrific in person, too. It was a wonderful show.

Mark Marderosian: Your had the ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST if Julie Andrews was included, OR, the ORIGINAL LONDON CAST (in stereo). The soundtrack with a few bits ‘n pieces of Audrey Hepburn had her vocals replaced by Marni Nixon and too well, but that was a production issue. Hearing Hepburn’s own vocals is interesting because she has more lift and personality. It’s not that Nixon was poor-of course not-but Warner Bros. didn’t put the work in behind the scenes that 20th Century Fox did when Nixon dubbed Deborah Kerr in THE KING AND I.

Could someone identify them? I went to the website to see who played the first of them to sing, but all the photos were glammed up headshots, and I couldn't be sure which one of the actresses she was.

She had one scene on Six Feet Under and I was amazed. She is a classically trained opera singer ❤

J KinFL: Or Marni Nixon singing in the film!

she is classically trained in Opera

Me too. I like the Newsies one and the Bridges of Madison County ones; but my current favorite is the recording session of Alex Newell singing Mama Will Provide. Not many people can sing as both genders. It's bonkers.

Watch Kelli O'Hara she is very animated in the studio and a fantastic Voice

Bartlett Sher knew. He was going to do Funny Girl with Lauren, but it fell through. Said that she was his Eliza all along despite many auditions. From Wikipedia: "A revival directed by Bartlett Sher had been announced to premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in January 2012[13] with Lauren Ambrose starring as Fanny Brice and Bobby Cannavale as Nicky Arnstein,[14] and then open on Broadway in April 2012.[15] However, on November 3, 2011, producer Bob Boyett announced that this production has been postponed. He said "We have made the extremely difficult decision today to postpone our production of Funny Girl." Long postponement.

Maison Blanche...wow. "Jingle, jangle, jingle...here comes Mr. Bingle..."

She might indulge us, if she gets committed (in the show)... :)

I just saw the musical yesterday in San Francisco. The touring cast with Sheree Ahmed and Laird Mackintosh were wonderful!

@@ALousyGolfer1 They were in DC before they pandemic struck. I saw the show twice. Shereen was magnificent and Laird Mackintosh was spectacular as well. It's a great production. I am glad to see them touring again.

Eh? This is Lauren Ambrose, highly acclaimed TV actress and not that young of a lady anymore.

You must be joking. And I can tell you did not actually see the show. She was just awful but her singing did improve. She had as much charm as a cactus.

@@richardmayora1289 I don't think you saw the show actually. You're just regurgitating a lot of the noise her haters have said or you did see the show and didn't understand the direction or her portrayal at her. Why don't you let people enjoy what their eyes and ears are seeing in this video and go stew in your bitter hate somewhere else.

AND MARNI NIXON!!!!!!!!

@@roudra2789 But Julie Andrews(!!!!!!!!!) did it first!!

Wait, wasn't it Audrey Hepburn first? She did the film, and when the Broadway production was made, Julie Andrews played there.

@@callaliaevergreen1364 I n order... Julie Andrews plays Eliza Doolittle on Broadway.....then they make the film version but pass over Julie Andrews for the bigger name Audrey Hepburn.... Hepburn did a wonderful job but there was one problem...... she couldn't sing. Marnie Nixon dubbed all her singing parts. Julie Andrews was the original and the best Eliza Doolittle.

@@audtom52 Oooooh. My bad 😅. I thought that the film was first before the Broadway production. Thank you!

You are so right!

That's because they used the original orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett and Philip J Lang’s which were incomparable

I'm sure she'd rather move on and have her talent appreciated as she is now, after she's gained so much experience. You can't live in the past!!

@@hat90phoenix32 She was already incredibly talented as an actress (and a singer) in SFU and it was synonymously one of the most amazing shows ever to exist, so there's nothing wrong with living in the past. I will proudly always see her as Claire

I hope someday you can. Live Broadway musicals are transporting. My favorite form of entertainment.

Me too all the way from California USA!

Me too, Luciano. From Brazil all the way. Just posted it in FB
