My mom sang this to me every single night when I was a little kid. I just remembered I used to make up harmonies to sing with her. Wild. Hanks for the trip down memory lane. This song is so special to me and I’m sure to many others. Brava as always, Laura 💕
Marian is Laura's dream role. Nothing seems to keep her down for long, even the death of her mother, but it had to hurt to see 44 year old Sutton Foster get the coveted role with Hugh Jackman. She and Sutton are friends - both in Anything Goes - and she will wish the best for Sutton. I have a video you could easily find of Laura and Tony Yazbeck performing 'Til There Was You at one of their recent joint appearances at 54 Below.
I agree Laura at 37 should have played Marian instead of Sutton Foster. Meredith Willson composed the role for Barbara Cook so he wanted a soprano for the role because Marian is a teacher and a librarian and its diferent from the other people of the town .Sutton is a belter and a dancer not the Marian the composer wanted a soprano who could dance as was Barbara Cook and is Laura Osnes. i wish Laura replaced Sutton in the role
Goodnight, my someone, Goodnight, my love, Sleep tight, my someone, Sleep tight, my love, Our star is shining it's brightest light For goodnight, my love, for goodnight. Sweet dreams be yours, dear, If dreams there be Sweet dreams to carry you close to me. I wish they may and I wish they might Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight True love can be whispered from heart to heart When lovers are parted they say But I must depend on a wish and a star As long as my heart doesn't know who you are. Sweet dreams be yours dear, If dreams there be Sweet dreams to carry you close to me. I wish they may and I wish they might Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight. Goodnight, Goodnight.
Of course Sutton is the wrong actress and singer for the role.Meredith Willson wanted a soprano who could dance as was Barbara Cook not a belter and dancer as Sutton. If he had wanted a dancer and belter he had cast Gwen Verdon instead. Laura Osnes would have been.perfect in.the role.Of course she should have vacinated or give the role to Laura Benanti never to Sutton Foster.
I really love this but I just have one one teensy weensy little note. I think this song is meant to give you the feeling of a mom singing a lullaby to their child. Soft and quiet and relaxing. I think that the pianist (who was incredible) was playing nicely...but I really felt that it should have been slower and calmer during the melody lines
Lovely to see the old shows like "The Music Man" and "South Pacific" and "Cinderella" appreciated again...
The melody is actually "76 Trombones" in 3/4 time. Marian does not know it but she and Harold are made for each other. Meredith Wilson was a genius.
I know! It’s so brilliantly written.
Would love to see Laura in the lead role in Music Man. The dream show for her talents. So lovely always.
She'll sadly never be cast as she has no respect for her fellow actors
My mom sang this to me every single night when I was a little kid. I just remembered I used to make up harmonies to sing with her. Wild. Hanks for the trip down memory lane. This song is so special to me and I’m sure to many others. Brava as always, Laura 💕
Her range is unbelievable! She's always so incredible
One of my FAVORITE tunes of ALL time... this young ladies just lovely...
She is always a pleasure to listen her performances.
if i could live inside the first thirty seconds of this video i would. cinnamon roll.

Sutton is incredible no doubt about it but her voice lacks a certain delicacy for the part in my opinion
shes so beautiful
Her voice gives me goose bumps 💗
This lady will go far in the music industry
beautiful job Laura osnes
I love Laura so much 💕
Simply stunning!
I'm so excited to see Laura in concert tomorrow with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!
Wow - what a singer
Wasn’t expecting that voice, my goodness 🙌
She sings so beautifully and the pianist is killing on the ivory keys! 😍😍
Goodnight, my someone,
Goodnight, my love,
Sleep tight, my someone,
Sleep tight, my love,
Our star is shining it's brightest light
For goodnight, my love, for goodnight.
Sweet dreams be yours, dear,
If dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted they say
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know who you are.
Sweet dreams be yours dear,
If dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight.
Goodnight,
Goodnight.
Wow ... gorgeous
Her comedic side coming out. And then that voice……that amazing voice and stage presence!
Lovely!
She should've been picked to play Marian in the 2022 version of THE MUSIC MAN -- NOT Sutton Foster.
The only problem is that she’s not vaccinated

A lullaby? Nope, it's a lovely and wistful expression of love wished for. And she is expressing it with passion.

It’s too bad she has to sing over top of the guy banging away on the piano concerto in the background
I wish was she performing at CDT(she knows what I mean)
Meralis had a sex change ???
