I lived on the Upper West Side back in '92 and one day on W73rd or thereabouts, I saw this little girl walking down the sidewalk with her dad and she was singing this song to him. As we passed I realized it was Daisy and the look on my face made her smile. A month or so later I saw this concert and realized that I'd seen her practicing...
What a beautiful, healthy voice and natural delivery!! Gorgeous.
Daisy Eagan is so talented. Someone should cast her as the lead in a new play or musical.
Daisy Eagan is a rarity these days. This production shows what a real person looks like. This performance is the best of Sondheim's song I've seen!
@Helena Dweller It's adorable. It doesn't have to be perfect.

@@snopesshop1903 - There are too many talented people out there, that could do this song justice. This kid wasn’t it. Elementary school talent show level. At best.
@Doseof Reality I think you missed the point of this performance.
Grew up together in NYC. She was performing a greuling (adult schedule of) 8 shows a week, was the youngest to win the top Tony Award, at 11 years of age, and all of this with her beloved mommy DYING OF COLON CANCER in the middle of it.
How many grade school classmates did YOU have who were BOTH so talented and so STRONG?
She has never lost her talent and spark, and being a great mother is another addition to the résumé!
I thought the comment about it being "pitchy" and bad was not only incorrect, but it gives no idea what that time was like for a CHILD who's mother just died, doing an ADULT'S JOB, DOING IT BETTER THAN ALL THE ACTUAL ADULTS THAT YEAR, and never sinking into the child star trope of drugs and egoism.... just wanted to ask if that person would be so spectacular as a 6th grader in mourning on a Lincoln Center stage and broadcast to MILLIONS? It's a great performance for ANY age, and done with her childhood, very knowing, adult sense of humour. We should all be so talented and "together" and full of humour in the face of adversity and quite literally with the world watching....
She's amazing but wasn't Frankie Michaels the youngest winner?
@@melfortune5855 maybe in the last few years, but when we were 11 in school for NYC performing kids, she was the youngest at the time (1990 I remember) to get best lead - male or female.
@@melfortune5855 Yes, Frankie Michaels is still the youngest Tony winner for playing Young Patrick in the original Broadway cast of MAME. He was 10 at the time. Daisy is the youngest young lady to win, but in terms of the youngest winner, the late Frankie Michaels still holds the record.
She was a pro already!
Hahahaha
"Slaving at the 5 and 10 *beat* Not."
Hahaha, that was perfect!
I'll admit this is VERY fun to watch ... considering I'm accompanying her for her one-woman show tonight here in New York City.
I saw this Sondheim tribute on TV almost 20 years ago and I thought that Daisy Eagan's performance was the best one, by far. She was enchanting and a true B'way baby. There must be at least a dozen excellent versions of "Broadway Baby" (I love Bernadette Peters's) but this one is my favorite. Thank you, BestArtsSondheim, for posting this. I thought I would never see it again.
the ONLY version that ever really excited me other than the peerless original.
Hm. I've always loved Elaine Stritch's version from the 1985 concert recording the most.
ok when she holds out the last two notes I am just speechless i love it
she was my idol when i was little omg
I did this song an Annie Audition for a part. I started from "hey there producer" and gave the directors my head shot. I got a great part and they loved it lol
I'm just a Broadway baby walking off my tired feet.
What a great talent. And what an honor to have received her Tony from Audrey Hepburn!!
A natural entertainer.
She really takes it home at the end, I mean, what a strong finish! Bravo!
The single most perfectly placed "not" in history.
They just played this video on the Classic Arts Showcase, everyone should watch it!
She gives me chills up and down my spine = )
This is good --- not your typical little kid singer!!! You go girl!!!!!
I love this. So charming and sweet
This was the best part of that DVD.
There is a LOT to like, including Too Many Mornings, Joanna and, my personal favorite, the Our Time/Children Will Listen medley.
FABULOUS! 🥰
She’s wonderful
Awesome Song!
Holy shit yo!! outstanding performance!
She's pretty awesome is what she is.
Lovely.
She was interviewed in a podcast I like, she has a lot of interesting things to say about being so young and so talented
Great!
Daisy is the bees knees!
She did very good!!! :D bravo?
Try looking for her Tony acceptance speech for Secret Garden some years back...it was wonderful!
fresh and real !!!!!!!!!
i like how you can hear her laugh a little to herself on the "of" after "slaving at the 5 and 10, not" (: she's great.
Good job daisy
The best performance of this song, ever!!! I think it says "Broadway Bound" on her suitcase?
"Broadway or Bust," I'm pretty sure.
Daisy Eagan is a giving me Hannah Horvath as a child in this clip
@BetsyGirl1976 she still performs, she performed tonight at Eleven Club in West Hollywood for Musical Mondays
I mean BRAVO .
Brava!
@@austinbleedinghearts Thank you, John Rhys-Davies in "Victor/Victoria." :)
A feature on Daisy just appeared in the New York Times. She is quite a survivor.
aaaaaaaaamazinnnnnnnnnnnng
I just loved Daisy Eagan.....could someone tell me what her luggage said on the side of it when she carried it off stage?
Broadway Baby!
I believe it says "Broadway or Bust".
"BROADWAY OR BUST!"
0:41-0:45 What is that piano theme underscoring?
1:59 LOLOLOLOL
ya right
Majoring in Psychology
She became a practicing therapist, I believe.
I could seriosly do all this.
Why does she look like Lena Dunham 😂
It was 1992, and everything old is new again, maybe? Or, the six-year old Lena Dunham saw this concert live or on TV and became such a huge fan of the 12-yo Daisy Egan that she's modeled her look after Daisy's look in this performance ever since.
"That's It!" (Shouted like Charlie Brown in "A Charlie Brown Christmas).
i thought she was a boy.
UA-cam boy is unamused
Grow the fuck up, boy.
Looks like a boy dressed in a wrapper
Could you POSSIBLY be any shallower?
Looks like a boy dressed up like a wrapper
This is boring
Taiwo Fambegbe she has the best voice
Your comment is boring
