Phillipa Soo Performs “The Lusty Month of May” From Camelot 

I always forget she’s a stunning soprano. She belts so much nowadays.

So whimsical and sassy at the same time. Pippa is the sweetest and she just exudes sweetness isn every role

GIVE HER A TONY ALREADY!!!! SHE KILLS IT EVERY SINGLE TIME! 🔥🔥🔥

I love her legit soprano voice omg

How people watching this song for the first time must be - simply thrilled!

I wish I could see this. I had the Julie Andrews cast recording on repeat as a child. Phillipa is such a good Guinevere!

Fabulous new arrangement - imagine this with a 30 piece orch and those voices. Spectacular!

Camelot was one of the best Broadway musicals ever. This fun song is one of many wonderful tunes. This young lady and the group does a great job. I like that many songs in the play are tongue in cheek while others are sad or speak of love and right and wrong.

Pippa is absolutely amazing

I just saw the show at Lincoln center tonight and she SMASHED it

Okay so we need a cast recording now pleeeaaasssseeee

Love her, she is amazing, that voice!!!

So much fun! The very first musical I ever saw. Thank you Phillipa for bringing this to life.

I really really really love her

I love her voice♥️

ASTOUNDING!!!!!!!! What a cast!!!! Can't wait to see the show!!!!

I had the privilege of seeing her perform opening night. I will always be greatful

I saw it a week ago. This number, and Phillips Soo, are the best part of this production. But I do not recall quite so many cast members singing along. She is amazing. But she deserved equally talented people around her.

SOOOO GOOD

Oh my goodness gracious!!! I think after this performance, I will call this , “The JOYFUL Month of May, “!!! My heart was filled with JOY, as I watched this wonderful performance and can only imagine when it is performed on stage!! I am so excited for all of you!!! Break a leg!!! Thank you for sharing this and I hope that Julie Andrews gets to see the show!! I think she will be so very proud! In a side note, Break a leg Mr . Sher!! I had the pleasure of working with your brother when he taught music at our charter school!! I hope he is doing well too!! Have lots of fun performing, as will your audience too!!😊👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

We saw this show just recently and Phillipa Soo was magnificent!!

1:30 for Phillipa being adorable

So beautiful! All of them!

Wonderful show!

Her Voice!. 💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟💛🌟

That was amazing!!!

When you have listened to the great Julie Andrews version of this, well...its hard to find anything else of that phrasing, vocal quality, diction and just sheer musicianship.

I have to see this show!!! Update: I saw it yesterday and it was truly magical. I might just have to see it again!❤

Dude sitting to her left looks like Martin Luther King.

perfect video to enter the moth of may with

Saw this today, and it was superb. Shout out to Dakin Matthews, for all the Gilmore Girls fans!

She should go for glinda!

What a pretty, crystalline legit soprano Soo has! Angelic. Almost *too* pure, lol, at least for "The Lusty Month of May" talking about devil-may-care revelry. But we know Soo has plenty of vocal skill so I'm wondering if this was a day she was taking things very gently, maybe marking to save her voice? I don't think it's just having a light voice--certainly Julie Andrews had a gorgeously pure soprano and she was able to convey this naughty side of "Genny." Guinevere may end up in a convent but she's someone with real heart and passion, with a romantic/adventurous soul who once dreamed of kith killing their kin for her! So I bet in actual performance Philippa does a fantastic job and lets history's most famous fictional adulteress go mad in the lusty month of May.

The more often I see this the better I like it - the way Guenevere leads with motions and the ensemble echoes her, the beauty of her high register which I'd like to hear more often. Philippa, please give up belting! It's a pity for your beautiful voice. My voice teacher actually gave up teaching at a voice department because they were encouraging belting, which is violence to the voice and to the ears. Phillipa, you are a star and your voice is a gift. Make your next show something that shows off your gifts.

Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That lovely month when ev'ryone goes Blissfully astray. Tra la! It's here! That shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts Merrily appear! It's May! It's May! That gorgeous holiday When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad Will be a cad! It's mad! It's gay! A libelous display! Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes, Ev'ryone breaks. Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes The lusty month of May! Whence this fragrance wafting through the air? What sweet feelings does its scent transmute? Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere? Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit! Tra la la la la! That dear forbidden fruit! Tra la la la la! GUENEVERE & CHORUS: Tra la la la la [etc.] GUENEVERE: Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That darling month when ev'ryone throws Self-control away. It's time to do A wretched thing or two, And try to make each precious day One you'll always rue! It's May! It's May! The month of "yes you may," The time for ev'ry frivolous whim, Proper or "im." It's wild! It's gay! A blot in ev'ry way. The birds and bees with all of their vast Amorous past Gaze at the human race aghast, The lusty month of May. CHORUS: Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That lovely month when ev'ryone goes Blissfully astray. Tra la! It's here! That shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts Merrily appear. It's May! It's May! The month of great dismay. GUENEVERE: When all the world is brimming with fun, Wholesome or "un." GUENEVERE & CHORUS: It's mad! It's gay! A libelous display! Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes, Ev'ryone breaks. Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes The lusty month of May!

Despite my love for Redgrave as Guinevere in the turgid Logan film, there's more energy in this BTS static studio capture than any moment in the movie's.

She should be an opera singer

Who is the woman in lime green? She's a powerhouse!

If May is the month of yes, you may, is March the month of, "Yes, If you must"? [not quite the endorsement of May]

Any pippa fans here?

This version will be on spotify?

She did that very well, especially the second stanza. I want her to just sing, just let her voice go, as she has a beautiful voice. She has to do justice to the long phrases. But she is very cute when it's not overplayed. The girl who sang "Whence this fragrance floating everywhere" was off key.

wow very different from the original

"...a revised book by Aaron Sorkin..."Good. Lusty month of may is better a ballad, intimate even.

This interpretation lacks structure and direction in my opinion. Phillipa is too careful with the vocals for some reason. Maybe she’s trying to convey a naughty timidness but it doesn’t really come through like that, especially with all those weird pauses before the end of each stanza but I suppose that’s on the musical director.

I see they’re going for historicly accurate casting

That's it? Was she marking?

Will there be any choreography here or are they all going to just stand there? This should be a show stopper with some real dance involved. No? Twyla Tharp.

I’d prefer Sierra Bogess instead and Ramin as Lancelot

W-r-r-retched thing or two. Try it with a rolling R. Or go modern and say ratchet.

She is clearly struggling with this

She can't hold a candle to Julie Andrews.
