Is there anything more satisfying than a Broadway cast tap-dancing in unison then stopping suddenly to sing in unison? I mean, there's Anything Goes, King of New York, Friend Like Me- personally, it's one of my favorite sounds in the world
You know, I think tap dancing is so interesting because you are not only dancing to music, but you are making music at the same time. Quite a skill, that.
Klespyrian I have been tapping for a long time and I love it. A lot of people think it's too hard without really trying and don't do as well. That being said, Sutton Foster is amazing. Also if you want to see another super talented tappist look up Sarah Reich or her UA-cam channel sourtaps. She also does collaborations with Postmodern Jukebox.
In many musical numbers like this over the years, you have a fantastic lead singer who sings then stands off to the side while the dance ringers do their number. Not here. Doing the singing and the entire dance number, too? I won't insult her by merely calling that "talent". That's talent + hard work, folks, and the result is outstanding. Bravo!
@@itzblu855 The thing is, Jeremy Jordan is notoriously bad at dancing (no offence Jeremy Jordan, I still love you), while almost all the other members of the cast have had extensive dance training, and can perform moves that no person should be able to do with their body.
THIS IS BROADWAY at its very finest--jazzy, cheeky songs, amazing tap, and exquisite costumes and sets. Numbers like this thrill my soul; thanks for sharing/posting on YT.
Sutton brought a youthful and exuberant energy to this number that I've never seen before. You can tell she's having an absolute blast and her joy is completely contagious. Her voice is lovely and crystal clear (LuPone over-performed it in my opinion) and it rather blows my mind that she's such a talented tap dancer too.
***** I agree for the most part, but I still have a lot of respect for her. I saw her in Gypsy a few years ago, and I thought she was very well suited for that show. She's been in the business for a long time and her voice is as strong as they come, but she tends to play her roles so over the top that I can never see her as her character; I just see Patti in a wig.
+prettymonsterofevil I'm also acting on stage and I can tell you ''over-acting/-performing'' is much harder than the most people think. I really like the way Patti Lupone plays her roles, you can literally feel her energy. Of course, Sutton Foster is also fantastic, especially her dancing but I think Lupone is the better performer, her attitude combined with her amazing voice is just delightful. Otherwise I can understand why some people don't like this kind of a performance and I'm totally okay with that. I just wanted to share my opinion. (Sorry for my HORRIBLE English, English isn't my first language)
Lets also remember the time frame, the 80s-90s when Lupone was really popular, theatre was becoming extinct. They needed people like her to bring the audiences back and she did just tht, so I have lots of respect for her.
Can all you GAGA fans quit the "GAGA sings it better" comments. GAGA isn't on Broadway, singing a classic rendition of "Anything Goes" - Sutton Foster is. and that is exactly why she won the Tony.
I love that moment at the end, where it's just the choir singing before Sutton belts the last lyrics... That moment, when she looks out at the audience and you can just see the 'Yeah, we did that' sassy pride, and then when she turns around and openly marvels at the absolutely brilliant cast she's working with... Sutton Foster is just so brilliant, it verging on unbelievable... XD
Dear Gaga fans saying Gaga sang it better: "See, on Broadway we don't need extreme close ups to prove we're singing live. We sing live Eight shows a week....check it." ~Neil Patrick Harris (Edit: I love Gaga don't get me wrong and dang I didn't know people would like this.)
i am so happy u mantioned neil patrick harris, he is one of the best actors in the World and just Think he would like for Life ship would be nominated for presenter in Oscars forever... I would Love That !!
It's even more impressive when you consider that this routine was cut in half for the Tony Awards show! The actual stage production is just shy of eight minutes long, and yes, Sutton belts out the chorus after dancing the entire time.
I could watch this all day Sutton Foster is insanely talented and makes it look so easy she makes it look so enjoyable and so fun that’s why I love Broadway I love this number so fun so enjoyable
Went to see this show at the Barbican in London, summer just gone 2021. Watching on YT it’s amazing but watching this live is out of this world. I was mesmerised by Sutton Foster. I totally adore this lady, dancing, tap dancing, singing and of course acting. She makes everything seem so easy and flowing. An tremendous natural talent. Hats off to Robert Lindsay, Felicity Kendall and Gary Wilmot, who all played good parts but.... Sutton Foster is, without doubt STAR of the show❤️
Wow. Words cannot even describe how amazing these performers are! My tap class just finished learning this same exact tap dance today which we will be performing for our May dance recital. They make it look so easy when this dance is so physically demanding and incredibly fast. Singing is my passion and I couldn't imagine singing perfectly as they do while performing this tap routine! Truly awe inspiring!!
She made me FEEL that I NEEDED to tap my way around life again.... with that happiness..... I could watch this video every day.... hahha, like I do at least once a week. Love Cole Porter and especially this one...
Holy crap! This was absolutely amazing -- Mind you, I saw the original broadcast on CBS, but I enjoyed seeing it again in more datail once again. This woman is truly amazing! Her singing and dancing are everything! All the while, she seems like an average girl: unpretentious, affable, and humble when appearing on talk shows... She could almost for a second fool you into believeing she's just an average girl without the amazing talents she has!
Anyone notice that in the theatre production, there were 6 sailors and 4 angels. For the Tony's, 7 sailors and 5 angels. Thinking that for the Tony's, the swings got to perform, too.
Ok but can we able to appreciate the ensemble 👏🏾 They’re able to sing right after that amazing tap number and make it sound effortless with a smile on their faces
I've never really seen a tap-dance number except in old movies. But the way they abruptly ended that number.....DUH, DUH, DA-DA-DUH...BOOM!....all in unison,, with Sutton tilting her head back slightly as if to say, "Yup. We got this." I was SREAMING at the screen. Absolutely mesmerizing!
I saw this last night at the Barbican in London and would just like to confirm that it was as good, if not better, than this performance. Sutton literally has not aged a day. And it was the first time I have ever seen a West End audience give a standing ovation at the interval. One of the best things I have seen on stage in 20+ years of going to the theatre.
Sutton Foster and this entire amazing company made this performance look so effortless and easy and GODAMN IT HOW CAN YOU BE SO TALENTED THANK YOU FOR EXISTING 💛👏👏
Okay...forget Gaga, Sutton, or LuPone and can we all just admire Cole Porter for a bit?? I mean, it's all these years later and this show is STILL around...
I love the audience making sounds instead of just sitting silently. I think it showed they were really enjoying the performance rather than just watching it. (and they were also possibly hyping up the performers to let them know that, which I think is cool)
I love this version! I much more prefer this to Patti LuPone's version in 1988..... because I could understand the lyrics! Clear, crisp, and beautifully sung.
*aggressively tap dances*
Abi Alston tap dancing is fun 😙
*snaps fingers and taps at you* your in the wrong part of youtube buddy. you lost?
In the script of Thoroughly Modern Millie in the song 'forget about the boy' it said dancers breakout into a murderous fit of tapping...
*breathing has left the chat*
In other news, Sutton Foster doesn't need oxygen.
pffhahahahhaha
Soo True
More like Oxygen needs her.
A regular Ethel Merman!

Morning person from Shrek the musical! Sutton taps : )
All my imaginary friends are currently applauding for my amazing 2 year run in my bedroom theatre production. Thank-you and goodnight.

OMG I never related so much to a comment in my life 😂😂😂
we have the same name and the same experience
i honestly have never related to a comment more.
In my imaginary production I'm always on vocal rest..🤣😂
Goodness, even the name ‘Sutton Foster’ sounds straight out of the 30’s. I can almost imagine it in Braggadocio on a theatre poster.
Right??!!! SERIOUSLY
You know, I think tap dancing is so interesting because you are not only dancing to music, but you are making music at the same time. Quite a skill, that.
same with irish dancing
My favorite style of dancing
Tap is my fav
Don't forget the shoes are extremely slippery at the same time.

+Marvin Simpson You should see her in Shrek the Musical with her and the tap-dancing mice.
Ya if u have Netflix watch shrek he musical. Her energy and talent there is beyond phenominal
Wouldn’t an example of that be like in newsies because Jack doesn’t dance until the end of carrying the banner

it’s what i call, “patty’ing.”
what about how she perfectly hit that note at 3:54 after the non-stop tiring routine? absolute talent
They are doing so much practice for that
Life goes on j
She has almost a whole chorus to rest and catch her breath. Not denying her talent or technique.
Did anyone else notice how minimal effort it looks like she's putting into tapping. I would be dying😂
. . . lol: ya' got company :-)
Ikr she makes it look effortless. 😳
Anyone else feel extremely out of shape
lilyann168 HAHAHAH OMG YES. And Sutton is 44! I’m 27 and feeling like 80
Yep, i gotta start losing weight
@@GiuliaLoSurdo she's 44? She looks like....mid 30s....
b r o o ke exactly! She looks amazing and she doesn’t even look like her age.
I'm only near to going to college and i already have the body of a 50 year old sailor and the face of Buddai from China

It's almost like Sutton was born to tap at the Tony's and then win for said tapping.
twice!
how does she dance perfectly and then sing the last note flawlessly. SHE IS MY IDOL
Sutton is truly New Broadway Royalty!
Can all you GAGA fans quit the "GAGA sings it better" comments. GAGA isn't on Broadway, singing a classic rendition of "Anything Goes" - Sutton Foster is. and that is exactly why she won the Tony.
I never knew Lady Gaga ever performed this song...that said Sutton Foster's a veteran musical comedy actress.
In addition, lets see Gaga dance like Sutton.
lmao but she did sing it better because she actually sang it 😂. Sutton Foster sang like two lines, and then one at the end.
@@coltonjordon5655 You know tony performances are shortened right?
sometimes I have to spend the evening watching this on repeat because nothing else will do it for me.
Jackson Simmons I think... we might be souls mates ...

+LionWingenedMunki39 I do, but I like Sutton even better.
this musical is great. I'm doing it in my school
Austin Persing same!, I saw the preview yesterday in the highschool
The fact that she was able to catch her breath after that dance and still belt out that note... SHE IS THE QUEEN OF BROADWAY
they're tap dancing in high heels...... impressive
They're actually tap shoes. :)
My college uses that kind for cabaret style pieces.
***** Indeed we do.
No it's not. Going into space is impressive.
No, running in high heels is impressive :)

nope. i think this is still impressive.

patti lupone has in my opinion the best version
Let’s see how many people are watching this in 2020
⬇️
Idk how many times I've watched this but it's getting me through this pandemic like nothing else
Dude. I'm just fucking playing fallout. can you fuck off?
many people see people dancing. and one is singing.
I see dedication, hard hard work and love for music and dance. and hard work.
. . . and a major league rack at 2:09-2:10!
If I could be anyone it the world, it would be Sutton Foster.
And I would be Diogenes
Alessandro Gregori what’s it like living in a grave?
I have no idea how someone can do tap choreo for that length of time and then still hit that note at the end. Impressive.
It's even more impressive when you consider that this routine was cut in half for the Tony Awards show! The actual stage production is just shy of eight minutes long, and yes, Sutton belts out the chorus after dancing the entire time.
Cole porter was such an amazing composer
I bet the lyrics turned a few heads when he wrote them.
Right?! LIGHT YEARS ahead of his time!!
@1:21 "Toes. Toes. Toes.
Ass. Ass. Ass." (Lol I didn't realize he was doing Sutton's *actual* choreo! Bless)
Sutton Foster never ceases to amaze me.
How did ANY of that cast sing after all that dancing???? That must've been even more FABULOUS in person!!!! Love it!

Unbelievable amount of talent on that stage. Susan Foster? WOW!!!
