Thank goodness I know what the audience looks like while she’s up there dancing away.

I have chills all over my body. She is so present in every single movement. Her facial expressions are never missed. She really is dancing for her life out there.

Might just be me, but I feel like it’d be a very strange experience to perform this number without a mirror. I mean, Cassie says it herself, she only needs two things: the music and the mirror. I think the absence of the mirror here takes an element of the performance away. (Robyn makes it work though, she’s just so strong in this role)

As they pan away during the most iconic moment of the entire number 🙈

JESUS CHRIST ! SHE IS INCREDIBLE ! SHE DIES FOR THIS ROLE ! Her dancing technic ist excellent, her musicality is 100%, and she does act this role in such a way, that one trusts each single word that she says!

Gee I wish they wouldn’t have missed capturing half of this queen’s performance by filming the audience! 🤯

Robyn Hurder is incredible in this number. It's just too bad that it had to be done without the mirrors and the full orchestra that adds to this number. Also, did the camera man have to film the audience every few seconds as well as close ups when she is performing. We missed so many wonderful part of the dance. Still, she is a wonderful Broadway dancer!!!

I have never seen this dance so close up....I really resented seeing the audience AT ALL, like someone mentioned. This woman is beyond sexy, and I didn't need to miss one second of it. Shame on you.

She is flawless.

What is this filming??

holy shit i think this video just changed the trajectory of my entire life

Very poor camera work

TONY NOMINEEEEEEEE AHHHHHHH

I wasn’t moved by this performance.

I got to see her in the National Tour some years back at Hershey Theatre...she was phenomenal 👏🙌💜💙💛

She feels every moment intensely and it’s reflected in her acting, singing and dancing all together. She’s true to the story. Nothing else counts, as far as she’s concerned. And she’s vulnerable as hell. It’s real to her. Every moment. She even makes you see the descending mirrors, and herself in them, even though, physically, they’re really not there. But you believe they are because she believes they are. This is how live theater is capable of moving an audience when it’s done with integrity and commitment.

I can barely hear it - and I've got the sound full up.

currently sobbing as i watch this lol because this is my #1 dream role and literally all i want is to wear that red leotard and perform this number on stage. i've been dancing since i was 3 and i start college next week studying musical theatre, and it's really starting to sink in that i am actually pursuing what i love most, which means i am one step closer to this dream. robyn is one of my biggest idols, and i grew up obsessed with the music man movie her husband, clyde, was in, and then a year ago he was a judge at one of my dance competitions and gave me some of the best compliments i've ever received as a performer. needless to say this video makes me extremely emotional and i'm feeling all the feels right now. follow your dreams, kids. ❤️

She is just wonderful. It’s amazing how the lack of the orchestra & lack of those mirrors really impacts the whole piece.

Damn THAT back extension!!! 😳

She was GREAT! Amazing!

Wow. Absolutely incredible.

How do you do Music and the MIRROR without a freakin mirror ????

Super! She's incredible.

The dancing is good, but what’s up with the music? It’s killing the drama of the piece.

She is phenomenal. The best I have ever seen.

5:50 👏

the lack of an orchestra is homophobic

She makes this look WAYYYYY too easy

perfection

Perfection of every move and synchronization with each orchestral “hit” …. Thank you!!!!

Cassie's gone GLAM and risque! And do we really need to see underwhelmed audience members?

She is amazing but omg the cameraman and editing is sooo annoying. I don’t give a shit about the audience’s faces, I care about her movements and every second of it
