Can You Hear the Songs Tonight?
A few years back, Disney celebrated "25 years of Disney on Broadway." In honor of the occasion, The View had six actresses, who originated on stage the roles that began as Disney movie characters, performing a medley of songs from their shows.
These are Susan Egan (Belle in 'Beauty and the Beast'), Heather Headey (Nala in 'The Lion King,' and Aida in 'AIDA'), Ashley Brown (Mary in 'Mary Poppins'), Merle Dandridge (Kala in 'Tarzan'), Caissie Levy (Elsa in 'Frozen') and Patti Murin (Anna in 'Frozen').
It's very entertaining, and all are wonderful. One thing, though, stands out to me -- while all the other actress get up from their stools and walk downstage to sing their individual numbers, only Heather Headley (who I've posted many videos of and raved about) stays where she is, and calmly performs her song while sitting. And further, despite just sitting, blows everyone away. overflowing with texture, standing only to join everyone for the finale. While I'm admittedly biased, the user comments on the YouTube site overwhelmingly single out the same thing and agree with me.
