Good rendition. And Thank You audience for not wooping it up (as is the new 'American Idol' trend) when anybody hits a high note, and letting him (and us )appreciate the entire performance as a movement.
Inspiring and refreshing. I'm practicing this, but I need to sing without a mic at a concert hall. Those conditions are bit intimidating, but I feel inspired by his reaction at the end of the performance. He really conquered that high Bb.
Wonderful voice, but over-acted. JMO. Needs to tone it down. All the "acting" distracts from the song. Take a lesson from Bernadette Peters who hardly moves when she sings, but you always know her emotions when she's singing.
@@cursedkaleidoscope He does it with every song he does. He doesn't need to "show" so much with his body. Let the voice tell the story. Check out Bernadette Peters singing almost anything and watch how she controls her body and the voice reflects the emotions. In the Tonight duet in Chicago, she is just as giddy, but it's more subtle. But as you say, to each their own.
@@Makeji I do think that singing more controlled with less body movement is also beautiful, but I think that works better with film whereas using more body movement fits the theatre setting more. Cameras are super close, so subtle movements read well and bigger gestures seem over-the-top. Theatre, however, is performing for the person in the very back row who still should be able to see your acting! I think that could be why Ryan's acting seems overdone since the camera puts the view much closer than the acting was meant for. Just my opinion tho lol
@@cursedkaleidoscope I beg to differ. Bernadette Peters is a stage performer. Also, Lea Michelle performs her solo numbers with very little body movement. Most of the best stage singers act with their voices, not their bodies. Ramin Karimloo, Ben Platt, Mandy Patinkin, Patti Lupone and the two ladies mentioned above. They don't flail their arms around and make faces to convey emotion. Stillness attracts more attention than overt movement on stage. Anyway, you like the guy. I find him uncomfortable to watch and unbelievable in the character. He could learn from his co-star, who has a lovely voice and conveys emotion through that medium.
My jaw is on the floor. Oh my goodness I think this is my favorite vocal and acting performance of Maria that I’ve ever heard🥹🙌🏻
i'm so excited that Ryan will be starring in THE West Side Story this year!! can't wait to hear this song in the theater!!

Can’t wait to see you do this at the Lyric Opera in Chicago this summer!

I WILL DIE IF I DONT SEE THIS LIVE
He’s playing Tony in Chicago Lyric Opera from June 2-25th, 2023
Why isn't he the biggest star on Broadway? Give me one reason.
I find him amazing...vocals great and he makes the story new..who is this young man????
His name is Ryan McCartan :) he was also in Heathers, Frozen and Wicked to name a few
bro predicted his future 😂
😮
Bad audio. Greeat performance.
He sounds and performs he is singing about something and not someone
Wonderful voice, but over-acted. JMO. Needs to tone it down. All the "acting" distracts from the song. Take a lesson from Bernadette Peters who hardly moves when she sings, but you always know her emotions when she's singing.
I personally love the amount of acting, I think it really adds to the giddy experience of first love. To each their own I guess!

@@Makeji We KNOW you beg to differ. Make sure you come back to this post again so you can get in the last word. Again. Again. and Again.
