It's really sad when something pure and original like this gets shafted to make room for the steroid-powered musical versions of movies... I guess that's business. Sigh.
I have grudgingly accepted that movies will be the main source of new musicals - after all, three of my favorite musicals (Gentleman's Guide, A Little Night Music, On the Twentieth Century) are from movies. It's the jukebox musicals--and the self-indulgent autobiographical jukebox musicals in particular--that make me believe that Broadway is truly dead.
Is it possible to get a full video recording of the musical anywhere? I mean, since they recorded the songs, there should also be a video recording of the rest right?
I love this song. And Heidi Blickenstaff's voice is unreal. I love the way she sings "Again" at 2:05. That little breath in the middle works for some reason.
i'm about 12 years late on this vid, but i just can't believe how moving this song is as a live performance!! i listen to the cast album all the time and can never get these songs out of my head, but i don't care one bit! all four of them are geniuses, and Heidi is why i got obsessed with this show! I wish I wasn't two years old back when it was on Broadway XD i'd love to see it live!
I just saw the show last Saturday night and it was magical. Heidi sang this so amazingly and I was totally blown away. Go see this show...no, really...GO!!!!!
When she sang this, there was such a hush over the audience...it was amazing. I have never been so enthralled in one song in a show...it was breath-taking.
I've been obsessed with this song (and the show, of course) ever since I got my hands on the off-broadway recording a year and a half ago, but I saw the show a few weeks ago, and seeing and hearing her sing this live was absolutely breathtaking.
Aaand there goes the eye makeup. Beautiful job, Heidi. It's not always easy for me to get through musicals without bawling like a ninny because I find people's talents so damn moving. Heidi's performance therefore kicked my ass. I'm attending your show this weekend. I'll be the mess in Row J.
i have the chills this is the most beautiful song in the whole entire world... why did the show have to close before i saw it.... this song can make me cry it's just so gorgeous
@Heterormorphic if it's not too late... go to 4shared.com and type in "title of show" the entire libretto of the show is available there to download (for free). that'll give you plenty of context (obviously)
yeah i think it will at least be in the running for best musical, but this year there will be alot of competition with tale of two cities, billy elliot, 9 to 5, godspell, and vanities. i hope they don't forget about title of show.
im actually at "then" except im 5 years older and i drink real grape juice not koolaid. but i will follow in your footsteps and get to broadway! i wish i could help u guys stay open. ive told way more than nine people...
Godspell won't win anything because the show is on hold right now because the funding fell through..a shame because Gavin Creel is fantastic. But god..TOS deserves the Tony..definitely.
i saw this show on friday night (august 15th) and completely fell in love. one of the best shows on broadway right now. i hope it stays on for a long long time. just amazing.
This song it's amazing! The show it self is one of the best shows I've seen in my life, it's so simple, but it's reality, for the ones that work on teh Musical Theatre Bizz. Congratulations to them!
i've adored this musical for years - my old voice teacher had this in my repertoire before i knew the show, and i found a college production online to watch... a deeply underrated musical deserving of much more love and appreciation!!
*Deserves* the Tony? I agree the show is wonderful and I would, personally, love to see the creators realize their dreams. I've seen it more than once and will likely see it again if it stays open through that time. Still, there's a lot coming our way between now and Tony time. The season has barely begun. How do we know what deserves what while we've hardly scratched the surface?
I'm auditioning for Heidi with a local theatre on Tuesday and I have to sing this song and Secondary characters. Nervous! Both songs are in my belt range and go up to show of the rest of my vocal range. Perfect songs.
I was wondering why a beat was missing at 0:47 in the music before "so I bailed on my hometown" and I think they must have edited it out because there was a word of spoken dialogue. Nice job! Almost undetectable
I'm pretty sure that most shows are filmed professionally at least once for archive purposes. They are not, however, usually available to the general public. Which is unfortunate. =(
i love that the authors of title of show can write such great funny, lively music AND stuff like this. and i ADORE heidi blickenstaff. phenomenal. :) and sooo funny! i want her to be my best friend.
Like I said, I agree that it's wonderful. On an emotional level, I'd love for the creators to realize their dreams of a Tony. They're the "Little [Show] that Could". While I'm guessing they'll be a contender, I just think it's a tad early to say anyone "deserves" anything. There's a lot more headed our way for the season.
If this show doesn't win something for any frickin' awards show craziness, I will be pretty pissed. I had never seen anything like it and it was genuine art.
I loved everything about this show when I saw it all those years ago. But this song (along with Nine People's Favorite Thing) gets me EVERY time. Beautifully written. And stunningly performed!!!

The lyric "being who you wanted to be in this world" gets me every time.

I love this song.
And Heidi Blickenstaff's voice is unreal.
I love the way she sings "Again" at 2:05. That little breath in the middle works for some reason.
Ugh. I don't know why anyone would look any further for Sally Bowles in the upcoming "Cabaret" revival. Heidi would be perfect!
How did she NOT get nominated for a Tony???? BRILLIANT performance!
i'm about 12 years late on this vid, but i just can't believe how moving this song is as a live performance!! i listen to the cast album all the time and can never get these songs out of my head, but i don't care one bit! all four of them are geniuses, and Heidi is why i got obsessed with this show! I wish I wasn't two years old back when it was on Broadway XD i'd love to see it live!
i love how she says "again"
I just saw the show last Saturday night and it was magical.
Heidi sang this so amazingly and I was totally blown away.
Go see this show...no, really...GO!!!!!
yep, still making me weep at my computer 4 years later.
i can't get over how much i'm in love with her. if i weren't a gay man, i'd marry her. love love love you blick-ster!
When she sang this, there was such a hush over the audience...it was amazing.
I have never been so enthralled in one song in a show...it was breath-taking.
the last line is so god damn PERFECT!!!!
She will get more roles after this show. Her voice is gorgeous!
I've been obsessed with this song (and the show, of course) ever since I got my hands on the off-broadway recording a year and a half ago, but I saw the show a few weeks ago, and seeing and hearing her sing this live was absolutely breathtaking.
this is absolutely beautiful. never heard it before and it's just become one of my favourite songs. it's soooo truthful.
Oh. my god. I think I'll be crying for a while on this one. This is spectacular.
i wanna be heidi's vocal chords for a day.
Aaand there goes the eye makeup. Beautiful job, Heidi.
It's not always easy for me to get through musicals without bawling like a ninny because I find people's talents so damn moving. Heidi's performance therefore kicked my ass.
I'm attending your show this weekend. I'll be the mess in Row J.
this is the epitome of my life right now.
I LOVE this song! Heidi's voice is STUNNING! I can't BELIEVE this shows closing. I
Where is she supposed to be in this? D: I have to sing this for my musical theater class and I need to know XD
Of course there's so much more to see, but you have to admit that nothing like this has ever been on Broadway before.
i have the chills this is the most beautiful song in the whole entire world... why did the show have to close before i saw it.... this song can make me cry it's just so gorgeous
@Heterormorphic if it's not too late... go to 4shared.com and type in "title of show" the entire libretto of the show is available there to download (for free). that'll give you plenty of context (obviously)
1) go to titleofshow [DOT] com
2) Click [ticket info for show]
3) Questions about show.
It's the second question; the info is there. ;]
favorite song ever by one of the most talented people of our time. BRAVA heidi! what an inspiration...
[tos] forever!

She's amazing. Actually, her voice in some songs reminds me quite of the lovely Idina Menzel...not to say that Heidi is an imitation or anything!
no, but they did change some songs and add some stuff that happened after their off-broadway run. :)
i saw this show on friday night (august 15th) and completely fell in love. one of the best shows on broadway right now. i hope it stays on for a long long time. just amazing.
THANK YOU.
There are no other words...THANK YOU.
Are these from the press reel?
*sniff* this song makes me cry, i love it!
It’s 2020 and this still wrecks me every. damn. time.
Loved this show.
I can understand. I can't even listen to it without crying.
Heidi is amazing! And she's SO humble!
Whoops, I directed the post to the cast, when this isn't the tos channel. My bad..
wow she has a good voice
"9 people's favorite thing" and "a way back to then" are my 2 favorite songs :D
I love her voice and I have a tear for sure..gorgeous.
I love how her voice just resonates perfectly when singing the word "Again" at 2:02
I like it more a tad slower. It's more sentimental that way.
Holy god this woman is amazing. Heidii.
This song it's amazing! The show it self is one of the best shows I've seen in my life, it's so simple, but it's reality, for the ones that work on teh Musical Theatre Bizz.
Congratulations to them!
this such a pretty song
so simply elegant, just like Heidi.
I think everyone can relate to this song.
She riffs amazingly! Wow!
Oh my god. It's EFFORTLESS.
i've adored this musical for years - my old voice teacher had this in my repertoire before i knew the show, and i found a college production online to watch... a deeply underrated musical deserving of much more love and appreciation!!
and THIRTEEN!!!!! THe new JRB musical. I think Sondheim's Bounce is coming to broadway, too, this season. Fucking great time to be in New York.
Sooooooooo good to see and hear this.
I'm having a kick ass time listening to this
That voice is soooo [title of show]!!
*Deserves* the Tony? I agree the show is wonderful and I would, personally, love to see the creators realize their dreams. I've seen it more than once and will likely see it again if it stays open through that time. Still, there's a lot coming our way between now and Tony time. The season has barely begun.

Chills. Wow. Just wow.
I'm auditioning for Heidi with a local theatre on Tuesday and I have to sing this song and Secondary characters. Nervous! Both songs are in my belt range and go up to show of the rest of my vocal range. Perfect songs.
I know it's been at least 6 years, but how'd the audition go?
im obsessed
I was wondering why a beat was missing at 0:47 in the music before "so I bailed on my hometown" and I think they must have edited it out because there was a word of spoken dialogue. Nice job! Almost undetectable
I'm pretty sure that most shows are filmed professionally at least once for archive purposes. They are not, however, usually available to the general public. Which is unfortunate. =(
@theatrelover10 My sentiments exactly.
Don't let that stop you! There's very few words you'd even have to change to make this applicable to a guy.
i love that the authors of title of show can write such great funny, lively music AND stuff like this.
and i ADORE heidi blickenstaff. phenomenal. :) and sooo funny! i want her to be my best friend.
Gosh I already miss this show on Broadway. I got to see it, thankfully, but I would love to see it again sometime. "[title of show]" THE MOVIE!!
whats replacing it?

I'm guessing this was professionally recorded...? Any news of some sort of DVD being made available? That would be CRAMAZING!
i've been in love with this show for a year...i've seen it twice already and want to see it again and again...these bitches are fucking talented.
I wouldn't know specifically.
I'm just commenting on the general trends of supply and demand on broadway.
TOS is already going off. :(
If this show doesn't win something for any frickin' awards show craziness, I will be pretty pissed.
I had never seen anything like it and it was genuine art.
“hearing Andrea McArdle sing from the hi-fi in the den.” OMG
This song never fails in making me cry. Seriously. I so regret not having been able to have seen this show.
National Tour, anyone?
HER VOICE IS SO AMAZING
These lyrics are really magical. I'm actually sort of regretting seeing 'Chicago' instead of this show when I was in New York...
this makes me cry about every single time i hear it. dont leave us [title of show] =(
LOVE IT!!!
I know what you mean. A good singer knows that sometimes, emotion is more important than "sounding pretty." I love this song.
It will be back in time.
i agree annie. i wonder how she felt on closing when she sang this.. =[
I loved this show so much and would have loved to have seen it again and again. This was brilliant.
Whoever shot this clip should become a cinematographer. Seriously, good work!
this show is like ave q meets forbidden broadway meets songs for a new world
Beautiful.
I'm kinda embarrassed as to how much this song makes me cry.
I loved everything about this show when I saw it all those years ago. But this song (along with Nine People's Favorite Thing) gets me EVERY time. Beautifully written. And stunningly performed!!!
So, I miss this show beyond belieffff
[tos] =
This is very title of show. :) I love it !
The first time I heard this song I played it over and over. I was blown away.
This video is fantastic. :D
We are singing this for Show Choir(:
I'm sad this is closing too :[
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZNG...
well said; so very true ;)
I love this. They're beautiufl.
Absolutley love this song!
