Shoshana Bean Dressing Room Sessions Finishing the Hat by Stephen Sondheim 

I have never commented on a video before but this was the most hauntingly beautiful moving rendition of this song. You can see Shoshana tearing up and I could feel what she was feeling in my soul. What a performance!!!!!! I have tears running down my cheek but smiling because it was utterly perfect

I’m gonna need an ENTIRE Sondheim album from you. K thanks. Also, JRB. Also, EVERY MUSICAL THEATRE COMPOSER EVER. K thanks. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

3.20 “Look, I made a hat” -> 😭 I feel compassion and a sense of sadness listening to this performance. The way you interpret a song... 🤯🔫 BLOWN AWAY!

As a painter with a broken heart I thank you for this masterpiece. I hope love surrounds you.

Been waiting 30+ years for someone to top Mandy on the cast album. Brava, Ms Bean! 💗🎉

Wasn't expecting to sob while down a Sunday In The Park With George youtube rabbit hole at 8am, but here we are... Man, Shoshana. I've been trying to explain to my wife why Mandy's version of this song always sends me into tears, but I haven't been able to find a rendition that explained my emotions. Then you came along. Incredible. Thank you.

I’ve watched this dozens of times now. Absolute brilliance.

Ok, so now I need either a genderswapped Sunday in the Park, or a full album of Sondheim songs

You have this inhuman ability to involve yourself so deeply in certain pieces of music(well, ALL pieces) and translate that emotion to your audience. Not only is your vocal ability out of this world, but your outward empathy is surreal. A real and true artist, ladies and gentlemen.

Such a deep interpretation, such a unique way of communicating...thank you for this incredible version of this masterpiece!

This was magnificent. Shoshana really knows how to dig down and truly be present while telling a story. Brava.

Shoshana is pure magic.

Beautiful! Just by looking at your eyes and facial expressions, I’d love to know your character studies when you cover these intricate songs!

the simple power you put into this is almost haunting this is so beautiful

This is sooooo goood I love Sondheim so thank you for introducing me to this song!!!!

I love how you allow yourself to feel whatever your singing.Weather it be a song from a musical or a song from another recording artist or a song of your own.You allow yourself to get immersed in the music and I give you all the props in the world for that

An exercise in minimalism by a master story teller. A true example of less is more and silence is loud.

I see tears 😢

Yessss! I got a Notification that it posted last week and I was sooooo excited! It wouldn't let me watch it then so seeing it now is AMAZING. SHOSHANA BEAN THIS IS SPLENDID! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sublime rendition, evocative and nuanced. Would love to hear Shashana sing The Roads you didn't Take from Follies. It's generally sung as almost a dirge but I think Shoshana would embrace the sweetness of the story and the wisdom.

this is too much for me i was unprepared for this brilliance

Goodness! You're interpretation of this song is glorious. Wow!

Wow. What a brilliant crossover concept and another incredible performance from Shoshana. Such a fantastic arrangement with the guitar too.

Just brilliant. Best. Rendition. Ever.... Please come to Toronto!

teaaaars. face full of tears. heart full of warmth. you are effervescent.

Stunning. Just stunning.

The emotion is palpable! *gulp*

oh my god, you are just so good

Absolutely brilliant and thank you!

This is really beautiful, simple and so emotional

I just CAN’T.

We have a female Bobby. Could we get a female George?!? It would bring a whole new light to Dot’s choices. My MIND is BLOWN!!!!

Love

OMG SHO. PLz COME TO TEXAS

Perfeita.

I was ill-prepared for crying!

Now I really want to see you sing I Read from Passion!

Wow. Weeping 💛

A goddess

As probably the only person who obsessively listens to both modern jazz and musical theater, I love how you hire folks like Nir Felder and Ruslan Sirota :)))

Angelic and heartbreaking

😭😭😭👑👑👑

I want to see a duet with ShoBean and Jake Gyllenhaal! I think they would pair amazing together!

Is this even real? I, too, have never commented on a RU-vid video before...but I have watched this now probably 100 times. CanNOT WAIT for the Apollo show. I'll be the one with three boxes of Kleenex.

HOOOOOOOW??!!!?

hi i love this and you okay that's all

how rude of you to have me crying on the bus

WHAT. IN. THE. ACTUAL. FUCCCCCCKKKKKKKK ⚰️ 🎩 💀 🎉

Anyone know of a tab/chord sheet for this?

Can someone tell me what this song is about? Why is my baby crying 😢
