That was almost an unannounced given! I remember the first time he did that with TBFO-Arena and a huge Australian flag unfurled over our heads on the floor level -- and I started singing along, even if the song is not my own  |

Looks like he has generously given Keala the chance to promote her upcoming album with an additional song she sings after THIS IS ME

It's amazing how a very close personal and professional bond developed between The Greatest Showman and The Bearded Lady Hope they can work together again -- I wonder if there could be a part for her in THE MUSIC MAN? Jo |

Btw, he sang I HAPPEN TO LIKE NEW YORK, in addition to LULLABY OF BROADWAY and ON BROADWAY in "BACK ON BROADWAY (2011)". I don't remember EMPIRE STATE OF MIND ( maybe he also did that then?).

More goosebump moments! All of a sudden, I am reminded of the scene from THE BOY FROM OZ, when Peter returns to Australia...and eventually this moment of longing for one's homeland marks the dramatic scene. All of a sudden, this resonates on a personal basis, especially if one's close family members live far away from home, in another adopted homeland Jo |

Hmm...

As overly familiar as I am with "Soliloquy," I've always felt that one of his strongest numbers. The power in his voice, his acting during that song made it a highlight. I hope it's reinstated for his return to the US.

Jo The only part of any considerable note for her would be Mrs. Shinn, the mayor's wife. But that would be wasteful of her powerful singing voice, as it's really not a singing role. At best, Mrs. Shinn mostly talk-sings during "Pick-A-Little, Talk-A-Lilttle." Ellen |

But it is quite a funny role. Unless they add more musical numbers ( with permission from the Estate of Meredith Willson, of course) to the show?
What about the mother of Marian ( although Sutton is in reality older than Keala)?
Just wondering how Keala can return to Broadway...
