He throws Cathy's name at her like it's a swear word, He also does a good American accent. He won an Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Company".
Like Marc said, he had me so captivated, and then he yells Cathy and please out at the end and it makes me jump. Like dude, I was on your side, but then the aggression is too much to take (but the perfect acting choice, if that makes sense.)
Finally someone that sees the extreme importance of that one line. He killed his mariage with that one line. They might have been able to work it out if they communicated long before that line shot out of his mouth or directly afterward.
This is such a good audition. If he wasn’t singing, you could imagine him saying all these lyrics with all the gestures and glances. Wonderful storytelling throughout the song.
Thank you for articulating what it is about this performance that really caught and held my attention the whole way through. I first heard of Jonathan through his voice role in the videogame Final Fantasy XIV, oddly enough, and he was such an extraordinary stand-out even using just his voice that I had to know what else he'd done -- imagine how happy I was, as a huge musical theatre fan, to discover this performance. I'm glad he's coming into the spotlight now thanks to Bridgerton, it's thoroughly well-deserved.
I love that you did a video about an audition! Giving lots of great insight into the audition process and what they're looking for when one auditions! I'm not a performer myself, but I love learning more about the process and technique that goes into performing a role, both the acting and singing! Thank you so much for your fantastic videos!
I don't think quite matches Norbert Leo Butz and Jeremy Jordan vocally, but the acting... My God. I have full body chills. I feel like I was just personally in a fight with this man, the acting was so good.
I was lucky enough to see him in Company a week after it opened on the West End. His version of "Not Getting Married" was outstanding. He is a awesome theatre professional and I love him.
I first saw this show in college while I was going through a really bad dissolve of an engagement. What JRB can make you feel in this show is amazing. And Jonathan does an fantastic job (as did Samantha)
Thank you for doing some last five years ! I suggested it a couple weeks ago and I'm more then satisfied with this video ! This version gave me full body chills . Tlfy Stan for life . 🤘
his performance in Company was one of the best things i've seen on stage (in fact the main reason I went again, it was so damn good) - *everybody* should listen to the cast recording of him doing Getting Married Today
I think one of the amazing things is that the line isn't I wouldn't love you at all it's I wouldn't have lovED you at all. I think Jonathan does a great job of conveying that message.
@@stephpiano2908 I was thinking in Crashing also, don't knew about this caracter but I can easily see the similarity in Sam and Anthony (Bridgerton). Seem like a theme in his career aparently. It has to be the power he has in making them likeable in the evolution (not just sexy or cute, likeable!) is incredible, in the final scene you just forget what an asshole he was, probably what will happen to Anthony (the story is right there in the book and he already show how capable he is). I don't know about this character and the show but this number.. it moves you through a lot of emotions and is not a fight, is an argument to the point that someone maybe can think he has a point, his point.
Wow, this brought back memories. I crewed the third theatre professional staging of Last 5 Years in 2002, so I heard the songs a lot. I wish I had a recording of it. The actress who place Cathy was phenomenal.
You should check out Broadchurch! That's where I first ever saw him - and funnily enough, he's also in a season of it with Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Had no idea he had this musical theater background.
Loved this and your take on it. I get unhealthily stuck on rabbit trails of your videos! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Bridgerton Musical being made in live time on TikTok!
I love to hear Jonathan Bailey sing, but despite a decent musical theatre career (I'm told), I can't find videos anywhere of him doing his thing. Any ideas where I might find more JB, MDP?! 😍😜 I love the new look to your videos as well! x
open.spotify.com/album/6cVS8HE0DLAHwcT1e4qixE?si=YbrRvpDuRHWYGZAkY-bujA this is the recording from the "company" production he was in. I've seen there's at least one song in which he sings. hope this is something that u were looking for!
@@Elizabeth-ld3jn thanks for that. I love Company. I'll check it out. Can't find any videos with him doing solos or other duets. I'll keep my eyes peeled x
Please do a reaction to Andrew Rannells doing You Gotta Die Sometime! I absolutely loved your video for Breaking Down and i think if any other performance in falsettos comes close to that its andrew
this is an audition tape? This is a perfectly nuanced impeccably layered acting and singing tour de force. What is the director supposed to suggest he do differently? All he says after the words 'your hired', is ' you keeping doing this and I will stay the hell out of your way, deal?'
@MDP, love the content and song selection! Keep up the great work and improving our culture! Any chance we can get videos of the coach performing and giving your take on how to perform some of the pieces that you review? Would like to hear you give voice and interpretation to the songs that are in your range.
if you have not seen him in 'crashing,' (early pheobe waller bridge) i encourage you to vide it. as the series runs, he deals with his sexuality in such an interesting way. also, a shortie. watch his win at the bafta's for 'company'...especially the little trick he pulls when his name is called, which is do delightful. i can see why stephen sondheim, 3 days before he died, found out that bailey was going to be in the london 'company,' and he stopped in his tracks, and said 'be still my beating heart.' patti lupone also raves about him. this guy is going far.
I'd love to share with you one of my favorite musicals all the time: Sunday in the Park with George Please do "Finishing the hat" by Mandy Patinkin/"We do not belong together" or "Move on" by Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. Btw, I lovvvvvveeeeeee Bernadette Peters!
Marc, just want to remind you how much I enjoy your "classes." Always something to learn. Had no idea Jonathan could sing. He obviously was prepared for this audition to the point that it did not feel performed. It seemed genuine and he was living/singing in the moment. As far as the voice, I question his "airy" breathy quality. I'm not sure if it is deliberate or just a reflection of what his voice really is. A breathy/spread voice can be used stylistically but it can too often be a sign of either poor technique or an untrained voice. The breathier the sound, the dryer the vocal chords or folds and in time can be damaging to the voice. Listening to his audition, I tend to think that he is naturally, at this time, doing his best and what his voice is capable of doing. It doesn't sound/appear to me that he his able to have a more focused, clear, easy sound which would be an indication of a controlled voice and intelligent singer. I will admit that I am partial to a voice that is not spread/breathy/airy. So, I am mixed with his vocals but sold on his non vocal performance. I continue to wait for you.
FYI thanks to this video I rented the movie The Last 5 Years on Prime. I think I watched it 6 times in 2 days. I blame you for not getting anything done. Thanks for introducing me to a musical I hadn't heard of!
Lol I often feel like I can’t get anything done after watching TL5Y cause I’m just a puddle of tears. I have seen it many times over the years & I have no idea how you got through watching it 6 times in 2 days. I feel broken-hearted & sad after watching it just once. It’s so good though! Probably one of my favorite movies & musical theater shows. I just have to be prepared for the tears. Glad you found your way to the movie though. You should definitely go see the stage production if you ever get the chance.
I have such a love/hate relationship with The Last Five Years - the songs are phenomenal but the story makes me mad at JRB about 50 times. Jonathan Bailey's delivery of "I will not lose because you can't win" is devastating. Beautiful performance, although I'm struggling with how angry he's playing the scene - I hope that's just for the purpose of showing range for his audition.
His voice is really gorgeous but I really liked the inflections that Jeremy Jordan chose to do better. I just think they made the words make more sense and sound more like a conversation/fight like the song should be.
Love the channel Marc! I think you should do some reactions to anything that Carrie Manolakos has done. She's mad famous for her cover of Radiohead's "Creep", but there are so many other options! She also helped workshop The Greatest Showman. But, as I'm sure you know, she had a national tour run as Elphaba. Methinks you should consider reacting to this though: ua-cam.com/video/dTPbfk1rVLA/v-deo.html
Debate: Who was responsible for the demise of Jamie and Cathy’s relationship in the Last 5 Years? I have always sided with Jamie. I find Cathy’s character too insecure and controlling.
What I love most about that musical is the fact that it is written in a way that makes us realize that they both are at fault and they both made mistakes and what might have saved them would have been communication and seeing things from the others perspective . And by not letting them sing together except for the beginning song and the wedding song as well as letting them tell just their individual story from their viewpoint in their songs it becomes clear that they clearly had a lack of communication on both parts.
@@jillisenberg9704 to me, even if Cathy did push him away, it doesn’t negate the cheating. If he was that unhappy & was ready to be with someone else, end the marriage 1st.
No, we don't all know. I don't know this song. I don't know what Cathy will sing next. I don't know JBR. Please don't tell me I can only watch this channel if I know.
I always tell my students that I would rather see a semi good singer performing a song than a perfect singer just singing...this is a perfect example!
He throws Cathy's name at her like it's a swear word,
He also does a good American accent.
He won an Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Company".
Like Marc said, he had me so captivated, and then he yells Cathy and please out at the end and it makes me jump. Like dude, I was on your side, but then the aggression is too much to take (but the perfect acting choice, if that makes sense.)

I saw him in London as Jamie with Samantha Barks as Kathy and he was incredible, especially when he was singing ‘Schmuel’s song’
I did too! He sang the whole thing to me, right in the eye, then gave the present to the girl next to me 😅 I was devastated
This is such a good audition. If he wasn’t singing, you could imagine him saying all these lyrics with all the gestures and glances. Wonderful storytelling throughout the song.
it’s sad that you can’t find more videos of him singing
there was a point in my life where i watched this audition video of jonathan bailey everyday for a week... dunno what that says about me🙊🥲
haha i go back to it veerrrry regularly
You were not the only one. No worries
It says that you are a smart intelligent woman...what did you think it meant??
No wonder. It’s breathtaking.
He's so good!! . I love him!!🥰🥰
That look at the end says SO much! Love this review!

You knew exactly what i wanted!!! Jonathan bailey is so talented
Honestly, I've never seen Bridgerton, but this was a fascinating look at how the audition process plays out.

He's exceptionally good at playing toxic, self involved arseholes.
His other Jamie in 'Company' was so wonderful. I had the chance to see it live
He was also really great in Crashing!

Literally watched Crashing this week, became a fan of Jonathan Bailey, then MDP reacts to his singing!
What's Crashing?
@@gazmondo It's a Netflix series, written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who also wrote Fleabag. Both shows are hilarious imo

Seconding everyone asking for a reaction to his Not Getting Married Today from Company. He was outstanding.
Thank you for this reaction! I love JRB and I love Jonathan now too! I’d love to see you react to Laura Benanti singing Model Behavior.
What I wouldn't give to see a pro shot of this production
mannn what, i remember watching this vid ages ago and just bc of you i realised it was the same actor!!!!
I would love to see Come From Away’s Me and the Sky, by Jenn Colella!

Please do "Finishing the hat" by Mandy Patinkin/"We do not belong together" or "Move on" by Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters.

Please react to a performance by Nathan Lane (something from The Producers, for example). He really is the best musical comedian we have today.

Oh my god yes!
Oeh, can you next do something from Six?
Please, you have to review “Send in the clowns” by Dame Judy Dench from South Bank Show 1995. She’s AMAZING
For sure, I will get to this. Its one of my favs.
I'd love to get your take on Jeremy Jordan's version of this song!
Maybe react to the movie adaptation of the last five years?!

I have such a love/hate relationship with The Last Five Years - the songs are phenomenal but the story makes me mad at JRB about 50 times.

Beautiful performance, although I'm struggling with how angry he's playing the scene - I hope that's just for the purpose of showing range for his audition.
Hmm, great points Lisa. And any musical theatre fan ever is (at one point or another) mad at JRB 😀
I also noticed he plays it angrier than the others.
Your outtro sounds like the Law and Order theme song.
Can I please get a reaction to “and I’m telling you” by Jennifer Hudson another Oscar performance pleaseeee
Sure. I promise.
@@MarcDanielPatrick thank you so muchhhhh I’m so excited
Please react to the song “Again” sang by Jonjon Briones. Tnx
Please do Gypsy next, Rose's turn or some people!!!
Please take the time to view Matt and savannah Shaw’s channel. They are remarkable, and have a beautiful cover of All I ask of you from phantom
Thanks Sarah, but what would I even say? They are truly phenomenal at what they both do.
Most swear words in any of his videos and I'm here for all of the no fucks given! 🤣🤣🤣
He plays Anothy and season 2 of the bridgertons is hard off book 2 which will feature him a little more
He’ll be the main character; it’s Anthony’s story.
Can you react to anything from the "greatest showman" please☺️
more jrb last five years or songs of a new world
His voice is really gorgeous but I really liked the inflections that Jeremy Jordan chose to do better. I just think they made the words make more sense and sound more like a conversation/fight like the song should be.
