OBSESSED!: Janet Metz "Fixes" the "Falsettoland" Cast Recording 

omg i had no idea she was cordelia on the falsettoland cast recording im so shook

And they did this AGAIN on the Falsettos revival cast recording. Also, I need that Falsettoland bootleg desperately.

If Seth is obsessed with high notes, he needs to see the bootleg from the final performance of Legally Blonde where Kate Shindle belts a C6.

I saw her in Joseph when I was 11. At first I didn't want to go because I wasn't really into watching musical theater. Well obviously I was forced to go. The first thing we heard was Janet Metz singing the prologue, and I remember commenting on how good her voice was. By the end of the show I was grinning ear to ear. I loved it so much. I even bought the soundtrack in the theater, and we listened to it on the way home. I loved her voice so much that I never forgot her name. I had looked her up a few times but didn't find anything. It was by chance that I came across this video. VERY exciting to hear from her.

obsessed with Falsetto's and Janet on the cast recording. She needs to return to the stage. I'll start writing her a show. pronto.

oh man. I have had the Toronto recording of Joseph since I was a kid and always wondered why the narrator wasn't a huge broadway star. Did a google search today and found this video. Thanks, Seth, for always finding the diamonds in the rough and showcasing them for the world to see. Love your series and love Janet Metz!

I saw Janet in Joseph as the Narrator back in 1992 (maybe 1993) in Toronto. She was absolutely awesome. 20 years later she still looks and sounds awesome! If anyone has clips of her in Joseph many people would LOVE to watch

I've rewatched this video so many times - but finally seen Janet and Donny in action. I wish I'd had seen you in Joseph back then! x

Amaxing range, volume and perfect pitch!

I saw Janet in the 1992 Toronto performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It was beyond amazing!!! I was 5(almost 6) years old and it jump started my love of music, musicals and singing and is to this day my favourite musical. I've since seen other performances but Janet Metz and Donny Osmond's performances trump them all!!! There's no other way to describe her voice other than outstanding and phenomenal.

Falsettos is my #1 favorite show of all time! I’ve been listening to that recording for 30 years.

I was OBSESSED with Janet in Joseph. I saw it at least 18 times in Chicago. And i have a bootleg audio recording!!

Saw Janet when she was in Joseph (with Donny Osmond) in Chicago 3 times back in the 90s. Love her. Why is there nothing of her but this on RU-vid?

Wow, she really has that squeaky belt thing down. She sounds like an Annie.

Always amazing! Love Janet!

WE WERE ROBBED

I just found this! Why'd it take me so long! Seth, I'm surprised you didn't bring up the Manilow project! I wish I could find a boot of that crazy show!

That was the original key for "Jacob and Sons". Laurie Beecham had it transposed DOWN a third.

Wait a second, Seth and his ex bootlegged Falsettoland?? I've gotta see that!

It's Janet Metz! I only know her from Joseph, but what a performance. Kinda sad she isn't more prolific, with that set of lungs she has.

2:47 it's almost like the whole song she's singing like Megan Mullany

Seth serious question!! I'm really confused on which Bb she is actually singing!! My ear must be playing tricks on me! But is this only the Bb above middle C?? Cause I'm confused because I don't think belting the octave up from that-- but I think it is-- please help me sleep at night and tell me what note she is actually singing!! Thank you soo much, PS I love you, and I'm getting a classical education in piano performance and am planning to move to NY after college- 😊

Great as Mabel in Papermill's Mack and Mabel
