Easily the most underrated broadway show I've ever been to. I'd forgotten about it, but then it popped up in my facebook memories...and I've fallen down the rabbit hole again. I miss it too.
nah when i was there with my mom the whole audience lost their shit!!!. from this angle you could see the change real good but from the orchestra seats? MAGIC!!!!!! >_<
Wonderful rendition! My 11 year old grandson performed in Sister Act Junior 2 weeks ago. He played Joey & did a great job with his solo!!! What fun! Thank you for keeping the comments turned on!
Awesome job!!! I’m in this musical right now and this song always gets stuck in my head. I give this guy a standing ovation for the falsetto and dance moves!!!
my school did our closing night of this this past Saturday, and I still can't stop thinking about the songs. Very good friend of mine was Joey and it took all I had to play the music on time and not curl over laughing, lol. Our Eddie was amazing and was crying with our Curtis backstage about graduating in a few months... I'm gonna miss him, he is a character both on stage and in real life (and a great singer!!!)
Awesome! Haven't seen anything for this show! It's coming this year to Cincy! I'll check it out. I only wish Mr. Gregory would play the role. ABSOLUTELY incredible performer.
EDDIE: [Sweaty Eddie.] Sweaty Eddie! All of my life, that's what they've called me, and that's what I've been. The blur in the background, the king of uncool. The first at the office, the last in the pool. And it's tuae. But what can I do? Tell me, why can't she see there's much more to me deep within? Picture a guy, a knight in rhinestone armor. Gleam in his eye, a zillion-watt smile. Sharp threads, moves that get 'em starin'. A turner of heads, cool beyond comparin'. Bringin' the pride with a spring in his stride, and a fistful of style! And I… I could be that guy. I could be the cock of the walk, and the talk of the town. Leadin' the pack when the action goes down! Yeah, I - I'll betcha I could set the world astir. If I only let myself try, well, I could be that guy - for her. EDDIE/STREET PEOPLE: Foolish, I know (oh, no!) I've never been a charmer. (Charm her, charm her, charm her) Just can't let go - (ooh - let go!) But if I could I would show 'em, but good. That I… I could be that guy! I could be the dude all in white, bathed in light on the floor. Livin' out loud as the crowd shouts for more! Yes, I… I could holler "yes!" to destiny! Time to step out. No more fear, no more doubt. It's time to grow some wings and start to fly! (Oh, I…) Oh, I… (I could be that guy) I just gotta relieve I just gotta, gotta, (I could be that guy) gotta believe. (I could be that guy) lf I'd only believe, (I could be that guy) if i'd only believe, (I could be that guy) that I… Yes, I could be that guy! I could be the cream of the crop set to pop! All the rage! Blistering hot in a spot center stage. Yes, I… I got what it takes (hey!) to break away! (break away!) EDDIE: [Aw, who am I kidding? I’ll always be Sweaty Eddie to her.] But before it's my time to die, hell, I will be that guy, someday. Ooh, maybe someday… maybe someday.
I am a 12 year old girl performing as Eddie in under 3 weeks and I love this song but... it is very low so I had to change the key and I can’t hit 5e notes and my voice cracks..... I enjoy this song but it just isn’t working out for me....
