This is were her versatility shows. You really hear bway in her here. You don't think of the r &b in her she really doesn't do any runs. She just sings the hell out of it with passion and an incredible beautiful voice with power. I love this. I'm not sure if her regular crowd would appreciate it. I'm not sure.
Legendary singer/Broadway star Stephanie Mills (The Wiz) as Eve performing Spark of Creation in North Shore Music Theatre's production, Children of Eden. She also portrayed the role in the Paper Mill production of the musical in 1997.
Is this recent? And you can tell she started off on broadway and on the stage because she is in her element here...Almost like she is HOME...the stage is home for her...She just came alive in this performance...She is just amazing to watch and hear...Love her
+Omari Milano This was back in 1998. Yes, she did started on Broadway at a very young age., before she did The Wiz. She is truly amazing and I love her too. Her voice just uplifts the soul..
Rashada25 Oh ok..Im a big fan but i missed this play...I have never seen this performance...thanks for sharing and yes Maggie Flynn at 9 was her first performance on stage...trust me i know her story..:)..big huge fan
+Omari Milano I never seen this performance either at the time, just heard the cast album several years back. Since then, I've looked for stage performances with her included on the web, but had no luck... until a few months ago. So here you are and you're welcome. I had no doubt that you already knew her story ;-)
Beyond, beyond It sounds full of wind and mist, doesn't it It means other things exist, doesn't it Beyond, beyond It says Adam leave your list, doesn't it Father why does my head feel this joy and this dread Since the moment I said Beyond I've got an itching on the tips of my fingers I've got a burning in the back of my brain I've got a hunger burning inside me, cannot be denied I've got a feeling that the Father who made us When He was kindling a pulse in my veins He left a tiny spark of that fire, smoldering inside The spark of creation is flickering within me The spark of creation is blazing in my blood A bit of the fire that lit up the stars and brought life into the mud The first inspiration, the spark of creation I see a mountain and I want to climb it I see a river and I want to leave shore Where there was nothing let there be something Something made by me There's things waiting for me to invent them There's worlds waiting for me to explore I am an echo of the eternal cry of Let there be The spark of creation burning bright within me The spark of creation won't let me rest at all Until I discover or build or uncover, a thing that I can call My celebration of the spark of creation The spark of creation, may it burn forever The spark of creation, I am a keeper of the flame We think all we want is a lifetime of leisure Each perfect day the same, endless vacation Well, that's alright if you're a kind crustacean But when you're born with an imagination Sooner of later you're feeling the fire, getting hotter and higher The spark of creation
@@stephaniemills_fanpage Hi there, not sure if this audio is accessible in the trading community. But that is a good question! I have to find that out, thanks!
Please give credit if you post my videos on IG, Facebook, and Twitter. Took me years to find them, especially this one.
I wish she would sing one of these songs live again
@@MrBarrywes That would be great! ☺️ Or play the role again, like she did The Wiz.

I wish you would sing one of these songs live again
You mean she?
Yes
Omg I love children of eden
Beyond, beyond
It sounds full of wind and mist, doesn't it
It means other things exist, doesn't it
Beyond, beyond
It says Adam leave your list, doesn't it
Father why does my head feel this joy and this dread
Since the moment I said
Beyond
I've got an itching on the tips of my fingers
I've got a burning in the back of my brain
I've got a hunger burning inside me, cannot be denied
I've got a feeling that the Father who made us
When He was kindling a pulse in my veins
He left a tiny spark of that fire, smoldering inside
The spark of creation is flickering within me
The spark of creation is blazing in my blood
A bit of the fire that lit up the stars and brought life into the mud
The first inspiration, the spark of creation
I see a mountain and I want to climb it
I see a river and I want to leave shore
Where there was nothing let there be something
Something made by me
There's things waiting for me to invent them
There's worlds waiting for me to explore
I am an echo of the eternal cry of
Let there be
The spark of creation burning bright within me
The spark of creation won't let me rest at all
Until I discover or build or uncover, a thing that I can call
My celebration of the spark of creation
The spark of creation, may it burn forever
The spark of creation, I am a keeper of the flame
We think all we want is a lifetime of leisure
Each perfect day the same, endless vacation
Well, that's alright if you're a kind crustacean
But when you're born with an imagination
Sooner of later you're feeling the fire, getting hotter and higher
The spark of creation
Thanks for watching!
Iconic.
I was in this show at my church in connecticut I was a zebra/ kids choir
The belting at :40 is incredible

Thanks for subbing 😎
Yow-zah!
I love Stephanie Mills!! Do you have a video of Close to Home?!
Brack Thomas Fischer Sorry, I don’t. Still looking for the full show.
Lady1990 It’s ok! Thank you for replying!!
Have you found a full footage video of this performance??
This looks pro-shot. Did they film the whole show? Ain't It Good? Close to Home? Let There Be?
Yes, they did. But, I just have the highlights. Wish I did have the entire show..
I have "Ain't It Good" posted on my channel.
This song sounds a lot like Defying Gravity (obviously because it’s the same composer)
Logan Jenkins Yes, it has similarities. That’s because it was written by Stephen Schwartz.
I was gonna say it reminds me a lot Wizard and I.
I wonder if there is a recording of this.
An audio recording? There is.
@@nostalgik._ Hi!, I want ask is this audio archived or is it something accessible in the trading community?!

DO NOT add videos or songs from this channel to your own UA-cam Channel unless you mark them as private and give credit.
What year was this from?
1998
Is she on the cast recording?
Malachi Flowers25 Yes, Stephanie is featured on the 1997 cast recording.
Lady1990 awesome! Gonna buy the cd!
This is when North Shore Music Theatre was good! It's since become really amateur.
Really?? Thanks for the insight!
It really has!
