LIVING FOR TODAY Sizzle Reel
LIVING FOR TODAY raises money for Gilana's Fund, which provides funding for educational programming promoting acceptance and understanding of our communities, each other, and ourselves. The annual concert series was created in 2008 just a year after the loss of Gilana at the age of 26, by her brother David, a director in NYC. After three years at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, the concert moved downtown to the historic Joe’s Pub, and to date has help raise nearly $50,000. The concert also serves as the platform to announce the annual recipients of Gilana’s Fund. Past participants include Idina Menzel, Vanessa Williams, Jim Dale, Candice Bergen, Alice Ripley, Tituss Burgess, LaChanze, Tony Yazbeck, Lena Hall, Aaron Lazar, Kerry Butler, Jim Walton, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Stephen Spinella, and many more incredible performers.

      you have to remember the age difference. They were 14, 15 years old } their voice is going to sound Doo-wop TEEN. because ... they are teens They vocals fit the role. These are grown women; its hard to hit the notes after so many years. I dont think TIsha/Tichina and Michelle can duplicated the sound; because your voicebox ages. Madonna sounds nothing like her 1st songs:😁 Britney, Rihanna Taylor Swift, U2, Bon Jovi, Beyonce, Rolling Stones Jay Z because that era is gone with time. Mariah Carey cannot hit those notes😁😆😅 I wont to hear her sing Emotions in 2023

    My god, Seymour is APPALLING. STEALING FOCUS. Making every line a LINE. But, the puppeteer is phenomenal. The Voice Of The Plant is also great (they’re two different people). I was TVOTP myself once, regionally, and the puppeteer (the original Off-B’way puppeteer) and I spent HOURS on coordination. I had to lock in my vocals pretty quick and sing them exactly the same at every performance. He was incredibly sensitive, very musical, was very good at nuance and following riffs. He was also an amazing athlete with, for a tall, in shape guy, ginormous arms.

      @@MarcelinoSoliz “awful”? Nonsense! Though I shouldn’t be surprised, I’m sorry to say your grammar makes almost anything appear as nonsense. More to the point, I prefer the R&B influence in Some Fun Now which is more true to the characters and the time. You Never Know is more show tune-y than Some Fun and while that’s typical for a number that has to do what they both do I find Some Fun more in line with the characters. The same way Sondheim wanted the lyrics in West Side Story to be less flowery and more how young street kids would really talk but Bernstein wanted more prose so that’s what they did.

    I have the original 1982 cast album. With the exception of Ellen Greene, it was very lackluster. I have the original 1983 West End cast album and the original 1986 film album. The Urchins between 1983 and 1986 were on point with their vocals and harmony, ( not to discredit Jennifer, Sheila, and Leilani) but Tichina was in the original West end production in 1983, and the brought back to do the film along with Michelle and Tisha in 1986. They had stronger stage voices and a stronger sound. I liked how the musical director made the songs less bubble gum bouncy and more cohesive. He smoothed out the rough edges and allowed all the young ladies to sing lead.
