Such an immense talent Uzo has. It's a shame she didn't get the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress but trust me we'll be seeing her on a nomination list again and she WILL get an award. Would love to see her do more stage work.
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Don't know, but she would be brilliant in a singing movie like that latest movie and like Les Miserables, something upon though's lines.
along with their voices perfectly complementing each other, these two put on a stunning performance! they bring so much power and emotion to the stage, it's heartbreaking. :')
This is my favorite Broadway Backward performance (well, it's a tie with 'Bring on the Men'.) It's so amazing to see this as someone who is gay! Thank you!
Strangely quiet, but now the storm Simply rests to strike again Standing, waiting, I think of her I think of her Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room Yet remains, she lingers on Something stirs me to think of her I think of her From death she casts her spell All night we hear her sighs And now a girl has come Who has her eyes She has her eyes The girl has Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that saw him happy long ago Those eyes that gave him life And hope he'd never known How can he see the girl And miss those hazel eyes? She has her eyes The girl has Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that closed and left me all alone Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes? In Lily's eyes a castle This house seemed to be And I, the bravest knight became My lady fair was she She has her eyes She has my Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that loved my brother never me Those eyes that never saw me Never knew I longed to hold her close To live at last in Lily's eyes Imagine me, a lover I longed for the day She'd turn and see me standing there Would God have let her stay She has her eyes She has my Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that saw me happy long ago (Those eyes that first I loved so) How can I now forget That once I dared to be in love Be alive and whole In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes
James Jones I never thought about Celia. Absolutely. As well as obviously-Whoopie is the Whoopiee Goldberg Bio. My God she sounds more like Whoopie than Whoopie- if thats at all possible
Lol gender bent Lily’s Eyes is simply In His Eyes from Jekyll and Hyde. You can really tell where Frank Wildhorn got the inspiration for the song in Jekyll lol

I went to high school with Uzo :) She was on Broadway in Godspell before landing on Orange is the New Black. She has an absolutely amazing voice!
+Laura Finnan Small world, Laura!
Laura Finnan YOU WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH BISMUTH?!?!?!
Was she nice
•_bird_• :b lmao
@@yousefalothman8108 I didn't know her well. We were in a musical together and she seemed very nice and well liked, from what I could tell.
I love the different story it tells when sung by women vs by men. Really nice.
@@Multifandom04 its gay now, hope that helps 👍
Such an immense talent Uzo has. It's a shame she didn't get the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress but trust me we'll be seeing her on a nomination list again and she WILL get an award. Would love to see her do more stage work.
Never have I watch a video on UA-cam and actually wanted to stand up from my computer and applaud. Absolutely amazing
+Melvin Gray We love hearing that Melvin. Thanks for watching!
Uzo's voice is just *glorious!*
+Kitty Grimm Isn't it? We were so lucky to have her onstage with us!
Uzo have the voice of an angel.
Now we need a musical episode of Orange is the New Black! Crazy Eyes is one of my favorites and I had no idea Uzo can sing damn
+Rodrigo Suarez - Check out Annie Golden singing as well. She plays the mute on OITNB, but is also a phenomenal singer.
+Cody Sweet When she sang in the OITNB I about cried.
+Rodrigo Suarez Danielle Brooks "Taystee" is in the Color Purple now!
kimiko Glen (soso) was in waitress so basically I need this to happen rn
kimono glenn was also in the touring cast of Spring Awakening as Thea :)
Uzo's singing voice is so beautiful and soothing. I can't wait for her to appear as Bismuth in Steven Universe.
Wow l was so surprised to hear Uzo singing. What a beautiful voice she has.
Their voices are so different, but the blend is gorgeous!
I don't understand how anyone could give this a thumbs down. Absolutely amazing
uzo has a very beautiful and open tone...hope to see her on the Broadway stage soon.
This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever heard!
Rachel is such a talented singer! I cheered out loud when she won that Tony in 2017 for “Dear Evan Hansen”! She soooo deserved that win!
You have to hear her sing in Pippin she's really great!
I would love to hear Uzo and Audra duet. I hear a lot of similar tones.
YES❤
Uzo definitely took over! This was amazing!!
Uzo Aduba would be really good in a singing movie.
Ownage Raids What a great idea! Any suggestions?
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Don't know, but she would be brilliant in a singing movie like that latest movie and like Les Miserables, something upon though's lines.
Ownage Raids well now she's in the Wiz:))))))))))))
+Otis Williams I think that is all kinda awesome!
We'll be sure to check her out in The Wiz Live on NBC this December!
Uzo ❤❤ Her vocals are everything! 😊😍
Getrude Wangari She's incredible to see live!
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS I look forward to getting to see her live someday 😊
This is my new favorite version of this song. I highly doubt that it will ever be topped.
along with their voices perfectly complementing each other, these two put on a stunning performance! they bring so much power and emotion to the stage, it's heartbreaking. :')
This was amazing and also I need a broadway revival of The Secret Garden for like, yesterday.
I was just in The Secret Garden and our Neville was actually gender bent this is so amazing.
Wow. Goosebumps at 2:05.
Uzo Aduba continues to AMAZE!
This is my favorite Broadway Backward performance (well, it's a tie with 'Bring on the Men'.) It's so amazing to see this as someone who is gay! Thank you!
bring out the men was so amazing but yeah this performance is beautiful
obsESSED with Uzo
Uzos note at 2:34 just blows me away. Such focus.
This is my favorite rendition to date!
My favorite video of all times...
+emilija mundeciema Wow. Quite the compliment, Emilija. Thanks!
Uzo can wail, really strong voice.
Wow! Go audio! Both were amazing, but Uzo worked it out! So magnetic!
That's go Uzo! Not audio! Dumb auto correct!
***** Uzo is a force! We can't wait to see her back on stage!
wow, 'crazy eyes'! i am a fan. she's fun to watch in OITNB.
Holy crap! This was amazing. My school did The Secret Garden last year, and this song. It's so perfect!
Absolutely powerful voice!
Bloody amazing
Cassandra Outlaw We agree, Cassandra!
Uzo Aduba is amazing, I love her
Got to see Uzo when she was in Godspell on Broadway a few years back. I knew she was awesome long before OINTB happened!
Uzo can SING?! SHE CAN SING?!?! Why didn’t I know omg. Beautiful.
I'm so incredibly happy that this exists!!!
i like this song so much better when it is sung by women especially these two women
Chills.
Wow - what a performance!
Beautiful voices
I'm here checking out Uzo and I notice they are in Hirschfield Theater bc Kinky Boots set is in the background.
It is my absolute dream to be on a stage doing just this for broadway cares! I hope to make it on broadway so I can do just this!!
+Nate Simpson We can't wait to see you there, Nate!
Absolutely incredible!!
2:35 I’m sobbing
Beautiful.
Uzo é muito talentosa.. Amoo ver seu trabalho!!
This is absolutely stunning.
That gave me goosebumps!
Oh my gosh. Amazing.
Right? Such wonderfully talented women!
Strangely quiet, but now the storm
Simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I think of her
I think of her
Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room
Yet remains, she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her
I think of her
From death she casts her spell
All night we hear her sighs
And now a girl has come
Who has her eyes
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life
And hope he'd never known
How can he see the girl
And miss those hazel eyes?
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that closed and left me all alone
Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go
How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes?
In Lily's eyes a castle
This house seemed to be
And I, the bravest knight became
My lady fair was she
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that loved my brother never me
Those eyes that never saw me
Never knew I longed to hold her close
To live at last in Lily's eyes
Imagine me, a lover
I longed for the day
She'd turn and see me standing there
Would God have let her stay
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw me happy long ago
(Those eyes that first I loved so)
How can I now forget
That once I dared to be in love
Be alive and whole
In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes
eh, close enough
Beautiful!
+webbigailaye We agree!
+Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS :)
Since Lily's Eyes is one of my favorite broadway songs of all time, I did not expect to like this. I was pleasantly disappointed. :)
Suzannee !!!!! Im amaze
Crazy Eyes killed it!!
Nolan Thornal Suzanne has many talents - novel writing, singing - she does it all!
BECAUSE WE ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS
Uzo's tone reminds me of Audra
I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR BISMUTH TO SING NOW.
Yyyyeeeeessssssssssssssss
Wow!
BISMUTH IS THAT YOU
Cant wait for a bismuth song
+HipposAreDeadly Rebecca BETTER make Bismuth have a song
+HipposAreDeadly Nevermind, my dreams have been poffed then bubbled in Lion's mane.
@@alexiskoelliker1077 i mean, she's back and they confirmed a 6th season, so..
i cant stop picturing Bismuth and Pearl singing this now
It's Bismuth (Steven Universe) dueting with Heidi Hansen (Dear Evan Hansen)!!!
Crazy Eyes works out!
Crazy eyes got a crazy voice omg
"Well, of course I know. I'm the queen. I know everything."
Anyone else think Uzo sounds a bit like Audra McDonald?
I thought the same thing!!
+antigoniem06 Not really.
I don't notice an awful lot of similarity, but I could see how you might hear that in her belt. :)
antigoniem06 not at all
Ragtime revive just saying
Crazy Eyes can sing! Who knew?
I love this performance so much
She has her eyes. She has those crazy prison eyes...
lol. Uzo's voice is amazing.
*MAMA BISMUTH*
also luv u Uzo!
worlds most powerful key change
I'm going to throw this out here and KEEP throwing it out until Whoopi Goldberg catches it...Uzo Aduba as Celia Cruz in the Biopic...
James Jones I never thought about Celia. Absolutely. As well as obviously-Whoopie is the Whoopiee Goldberg Bio. My God she sounds more like Whoopie than Whoopie- if thats at all possible
😢 I once fell in love with a male friend's girlfriend. They never knew... 🏳️🌈
Uzo….ALL is now forgiven for The Wiz
Spectacular !!!!!!
Mike drop 🎤
Anyone know what key this is? I’m thinking of singing this with my mom :)
A major, C major, D major (That’s what it sounds like - it transitions a few times, it’s my best guess)
this is incredible...btw, that black lady looks so strong...
Kai Yan Uzo Aduba is an incredible presence!
+Kai Yan You need to check her out in Orange is the New Black. She's an amazing actress. "Crazy Eyes".
"crazy eyes"
Anybody know what key this is in?
Jesus Christ! I’m dead!
Bismuth can sing!
It's a damn crime Rebecca hasn't given Uzo a singing part in SU before the movie.
Lol gender bent Lily’s Eyes is simply In His Eyes from Jekyll and Hyde. You can really tell where Frank Wildhorn got the inspiration for the song in Jekyll lol
One girl is really upstaging the other at points I feel....other than that, great performance!
did they get an intern to cut the sound for this or something? jesus christ

Sorry, that was a bit harsh, I didn't think you read the comments. I *love* this version of the song, but that cut at 2:56 always throws me off
All I can think about it Snape and James singing this about Harry. Just change she to he.
Strangely quiet, but now the storm
Simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I think of her
I think of her
Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room
Yet remains, she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her
I think of her

8 More Hilarious Misheard Lyrics About Food
From death she casts her spell
All night we hear her sighs
And now a girl has come
Who has her eyes
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life
And hope he'd never known
How can he see the girl
And miss those hazel eyes?
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that closed and left me all alone
Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go
How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes?
In Lily's eyes a castle
This house seemed to be
And I, her bravest knight became
My lady fair was she
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that loved my brother never me
Those eyes that never saw me
Never knew I longed to hold her close
To live at last in Lily's eyes
Imagine me, a lover
I longed for the day
She'd turn and see me standing there
Would God have let her stay
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw me happy long ago
(Those eyes that first I loved so)
How can I now forget
That once I dared to be in love
Alive and whole
The blonde girl misses her entrance.
Nnmmm
What an effing racket!
Beautiful voice
