JOIN US FOR MISCAST21- STREAMING FOR FREE ON SUNDAY 5/16 AT 8PM ET. Set a reminder! • Video Aaron Tveit (Grease Live!) pines over unrequited love during 'As Long as He Needs Me' from Oliver! at MCC's annual Miscast '16 gala.
Can we get a gender bent month of Broadway every year? Ramin Karimloo as Elphaba, Aaron Tveit as Glinda. Ben Platt as Nessarose. I think we all would pay money to see that.
+Josh Tanzer And it's fantastic, it's one of my favorite CDs that I own! Plus, it gives us that fantastic cover of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"! However, I agree that he should release another album of musical theatre covers, I would buy it the day it came out!
In England its almost an unwritten law for school kids to know at least eight songs from this great musical!! Somewhere in any corner there you can here a little Olive or Oliver pleading "Where is love? And don't get them started on Fagin, he is universally adored no matter who sings the part!!
@@tabithaokitsu3813 Yeah, he's definitely got a lot of additional range on top of this. He only goes up to an A4 here, which is super comfortable for a tenor (as demonstrated by how well he manages it and is also likely why he chose that key).
Aaron's Miscast performances are all so great and really showcase his range. Would totally buy a Best of Miscast album if one were available for purchase.
I absolutely love this song. Not many people from this generation are familiar with this musical, but this is one of my favorites form Oliver! and Aaron (as usual) did it more than justice. Thank you for your passion, humility, and talent.
Aaron, you singing the words to this song is a gift to gay people. Thank You for taking the risk and showing pure honest love in every word you sang. When I'm on the baseball diamond, I like to dream of you being the short stop who is on first base while I wait for you at home plate as the catcher. Doing this song is a grand slam, my friend.
Ah I love Oliver! I am in the play as a small role although This is my first play and I will always remember this song as something more than a song So seeing this made me happy!
I can't speak for anyone else, but as a child, I loved the hell out of this song the first time I heard it. Same as "What's the Use of Wond'rin'" from Carousel. And so many others. I wonder if gays are so used to being told (either subliminally or straight to our faces) that they are not worthy of love or even of living that I latched onto songs like this. The whole idea that no matter what he does, I will love him, in the hopes that the same is true for me. Just thinking when I should be going to sleep, LOL.
