Stephanie J. Block - Holding to the Ground (Falsettos)
Stephanie J. Block sings "Holding to the Ground" from Falsettos during Broadway Originals.
BROADWAY ORIGINALS
February 4, 2017 at Feinstein's/54 Below
An amazing array of theater stars have been assembled by producer/writer/host Scott Siegel with the express purpose of singing the songs that they performed in their original Broadway productions. Decade upon decade of Broadway history - almost 60 years! - will be on glorious display on the Feinstein’s/54 Below stage on August 26 at 9:30 pm, when a galaxy of stars from the 20th and 21st centuries return to sing the songs that made (and make) the Great White Way great.
In this special, nightclub benefit concert event, the history of Broadway will be re-lived when the actors from the original casts of musicals from 1959 to the present once again sing the songs that thrilled audiences when they were first performed on the New York stage. And oh the nostalgia! As the announcer for the Lone Ranger might say, “Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear” and hear not only the great songs of Broadway, but hear them sung by the actors and actresses who made them famous in the first place.
Scott Siegel created/wrote/hosted Broadway Originals for The Town Hall where it was that legendary institution’s gala annual concert for half-a-dozen years. Now, for the first time, Mr. Siegel is bringing this much-beloved and famous concert series from a theater that seats 1,500 people to the intimate surroundings of Feinstein’s/54 Below. The opportunity to witness the glory of Broadway, up close and personal, has never been more reachable.
Featuring:
Stephanie J. Block (Tony Nominee, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, 9 to 5)
Len Cariou (Tony Award Winner, Sweeney Todd, 1979)
Bill Irwin (Tony Award Winner, MacArthur Genius, Bye, Bye Birdie revival)
Lee Roy Reams (42nd St., Hello, Dolly!)

Zachary Brinegar Got that right.
she perfectly nails the role & sometimes her performance scarily reminds me of my own mom .
I've been going to Broadway shows regularly since the late 60s. Of the *amazing* moments I have experienced in a theatre (from the audience side), seeing SJB in Falsettos, singing this song in particular, is in the small handful of absolute favorites. Her vocal skills, and her honest, truthful, heart-touching performance --- one of the great theatre joys of my life

I love her, this song, her character, her acting, her voice, everything.
The change in subtext when she says "theres always more!" Is so well done! Also I genuinely dont know if I've seen acting as good as this before! Its just completely natural for her and it looks like shes genuinely just exasperated and exhausted.
im gay for stephanie j block

Damn that was a wonderful acting and vocal performance. This song is so underrated to me
AHHHH. The "everything will be alright" makes me die inside
Just went to see Falsettos in a movie theater last Wednesday. What a treat that was. She was the standout in a great show. I was pretty much in tears from this song until the end of the show. She's insanely good.
Gorgeous, inspirational, fucking luminous woman.
Who dares dislike my princess Stephanie!?
she’s so effortless. I adore this woman.
As brilliant as I'm sure she was as Cher I think somewhere in the cosmos she won the Tony for this performance. She brought everything to Trina, I think it's exceptionally challenging to play an ordinary person with their own doubts, flaws and growth and she nailed it. Her Trina is special in the sense that she just comes naturally and unobtrusively from Blocks mannerisms and physicality.
1:41 foreshadowing at its finest. He CHERED my life!!!!

@@anna-michellecourshon505 Sure sometimes Tonys make errors but I think Rachel Bay Jones really deserved it. Her performance as Heidi was really incredible, and same goes for SJB as Trina, but there's only one winner :( I think if I were the one chosing I would have given two Tonys exceptionally 😂😂

Stephanie J Block is a goddess I swear
[TRINA] I was sure growing up I would live the life My mother assumed I'd live Very Jewish, very middle-class, and very straight Where healthy men stayed healthy men And marriages were long and great I smile, I don't complain I'm trying to keep sane as the rules keep changing Families aren't what they were Thank God there's a husband and a child Whom I adore But then there's more So many more There's always more Life is never what you planned Life is moments you can't understand And that is life I'm plain, I don't astound I hold to the ground As the ground keeps shifting Keeping my balance square Trying not to care about this man who Marvin loves But that's my life He shared my life Yes, that's my life Life is never what you planned Life is moments you can't understand And that is life Holding to the ground As the ground keeps shifting Trying to keep sane As the rules keep changing Keeping up my head As my heart falls out of sight Everything will be all right Everything will be all right

Holy shit this destroyed me she’s godly

She got robbed at the Tony’s honestly
On a technical level i think this is quite flawless. Not necessarily as on board with the acting people are raving over. Not to say that it is bad! More that i think I’d need the sort of suspension of disbelief offered in the dark of a theatre and a stage. With that i imagine I’d be almost uncomfortable - struck with how good it actually is. That people can literally do this in front of so many people that strait up EXAMINING if their emotions appear legitimate is truly a feat. Humans are SO WEIRD. Every damn one of us. If you think you’re not, you’re the weirdest one of all! Some proof of this statement: my stupid ass commenting all of this 😅🥲
