I mean, Cynthia doesn’t have the fame she deserves.... There are so many hidden gems in musical theater. Audra McDonald similarly kills it but in such a different way!

Nicksurfs1, nobody DESERVES fame! Cynthia and Audra earn PHENOMENAL livings doing what they LOVE! Thus, they have gotten what they've EARNED! And THAT'S far MORE REWARDING than FAME!

So i have been binge watching Cynthia Erivo videos on KZread and I am an emotional wreck lol

The fact that she motioned for everyone to keep going at 5:12, to have the true performance and art continue just a little longer, to feel that magic in the performance and the collective beauty in everyone there was truly magical. A celebration of humanity, if you will:)

3 things. that last minute decision to repeat. That hidden handsignal round her back at 5.39 to make sure the down beat comes right as she's done. Her commitment to getting into character the moment she was onstage, and minimising the intro shenanigans. So in control. Such a leader, yet a listener to her own impulses.

justin aggressively head-banging while still playing beautifully is my new aesthetic.

i need a studio recording of this where the choir's singing just FLOODS IN AND BLENDS SO BEAUTIFULLY WITH CYNTHIA'S VOICE THIS IS JUST AMAZING

When she gave the Repeat motion, I knew she was about to go in.

Shout out to that choir for definitely holding their own next to the perfect being that is Cynthia Erivo!!

Excuse me as I bawl my eyes out to this amazingness

Adam Rusmisell you have become Conner

My favorite part of this video is towards the end when Cynthia is feeling like she wants to repeat some measures when they not rehearsed it that way. You can tell because she is gesturing to the band to make the repeat, giving more time and room to grow the intensity and energy. And that, my friends, is the beautiful art that can only happen in live performance. We must find a way back.

yep. Cynthia was spot on with choir. Now can we please put this on the radio (even though the show is still open). The message is so beautiful!

This was the best MOMENT of the show. Thanks for letting us listen to this version. Such a great show. If you're a FANSEN and you know it...like!

Not big into this version but it was worth it to learn the term "Fansen" I'm living! I'm definitely in the club!

We love a queen who asks for what she needs. She was right too.

This musical has AMAZINGLY MEANINGFUL music!!! And the fact that Cynthia is singing in the performance adds so much more emotion.

*lies on floor* *tries not to cry* *cries a lot*

The raspy high note at 5:57 literally snatched every wig I thought I had off my head. I cannot tell you the sheer amount of tears flowing down my face, I swear to god I thought I was gonna drown. Queen Cynthia Erivo

She is legit directing the band AND the choir AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!!!! I can't...

But this pianist tho👏🏾

Don't mind me just sitting in front of my computer crying at this amazing song

Cynthia's amazing as always, but good God that last bit's impressive!

Grammy worthy song & performance. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the beauty of Elsie Fest. You hear music and people combined like ever before. Cynthia singing YWBF, that awesome rendition of Sincerely Me, the Hairspray medley, the TGS medley... Oh, but I can't go because I live in Canada.

This is beautiful... Cynthia is a goddess

adding in the choir gave me CHILLS

We all know that Cynthia is a queen but can we appreciate the talent of the musicians too? ON POINT AND SUCH EMOTION👁️👄👁️💕

When she hit that repeat, it was OVER!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You can't hear my gross sobbing but guys, I was there... Jaw Dropped, Teary Eyed

Absolutely amazing. What I think is funny, is that the chorus bit of the song reminds me of Flashlight from Jessie J, which was used in Pitch Perfect in which Ben Platt was also a cast member. It's just a small bit that seems quite similar and it's definitely no critique.

What I love about her is that she really SINGS her songs, she just gets right into it. Love it. Like a roller coaster.

Apart from her phenomenal voice, Cynthia always knows fully what she’s saying and why it needs to be said.

Cynthia Erivo goddamn, your voice is on fire!!!

A voice that could shatter glass! so crisp, so sharp, beautiful

This beautiful woman just left her heart and soul on that stage and I'm in awe. I absolutely love her and this performance was just another reason as to why.

Saw this on the Playbill live broadcast and was praying someone had recorded it. Thank you so much for uploading ❤️

I love the passion everyone has and how vivid and powerful this performance is.

This is giving me so much life right now. "You are not alone!" Keep saying that shit in constant loop.

Damn Cynthia! the choir is also legit!!!! and she's right, this performance needs that CHOIR!

Dear the powers that be, I need this on apple music Sincerely, Me

She’s such a boss. She signaled and said we’re doing this line again!!! Omg, I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve discovered Cynthia Erivo

Love this girl. Period. This music is everything!

Coming back and watching this now for me is amazing, I remember when I first saw this video, around october 2016, and it was my first introduction to this show. Before the album came out, this version of this song helped me so much, and now the album one too. Cynthia Erivo is literally perfect in this, I cry every time

Can we have this recorded? I NEED it!

I love her signaling to repeat the bit near the end and just getting everyone to feel the spirit of the music and song and amazingness...just fucking a talent of generations here. not only Cynthia but Benj and Justin as well.

If this lady wants a choir, listen.....just give her a choir. Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to. Also, I LOVE how she moves the mic stand out of the way to make space for herself, as if to say "this stage ain't big enough" 😝

I’ve been binging Cynthia Erivo performances for days. She’s so unbelievably incredible.

the look on Benj Pasek at the end of the song is just pure joy and love and that's incredible!!!

2:15 literal perfection

Chills! goosebumps! and more! Her voice is laced with gold.

I watch this at least every month.

The word PHENOMENAL is inadequate to describe Cynthia Erivo's metaphysical and mind-boggling talents! Oh my GODDESS!

if I were to ever be blessed with a voice anywhere near Cynthia's I would be more then grateful. she is my idol.

what a woman (or as we like to say as brazilians QUE MULHER).

I’m in such awe of people with beautiful voices. Something I wished I had. Singing is such a therapeutic thing.

HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS UNTIL NOW?!

I didn't know I needed this version in my life. Wow.

LIKE THE OBC IS DAMN GOOD BUT OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD CYNTHIA YAS

This is beautiful. Thank you so much for recording this

SHE NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME FEEL SO MANY FEELINGS

Every day should be celebrated with that Justin Paul energy on the keys

Can you believe Cynthia Erivo invented talent

Cynthia taking us to church!

Cynthia Erivo is a force of nature.

LOOK AT PASEK AND PAUL YES THEY DID THAT AND LEGEND CYNTHIA IS SINGING THEIR SONG

This performance man. Had me in tears!

Oooooooooooooooo my god, I didn't know that this existed. But now that I do, I can't live without it!!!

This is now my favorite version of this song. She is AMAZING! Shout out to the choir and musicians too.

this song makes me cry everytime without fail... this musical is amazing and this performance is amazing

YES YES Cynthia is amazing, her voice is insane, the choir sounds great, everything's marvelous but can we take a moment to appreciate THOSE KILLER LEGS my goodness!

her fucking voice, damn

You will be found lyrics Have you ever felt like nobody was there? Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere? Have you ever felt like you could disappear? Like you could fall, and no one would hear? Well, let that lonely feeling wash away Maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay 'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand You can reach, reach out your hand And oh, someone will coming running And I know, they'll take you home Even when the dark comes crashing through When you need a friend to carry you And when you're broken on the ground You will be found So let the sun come streaming in 'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again Lift your head and look around You will be found You will be found You will be found You will be found You will be found There's a place where we don't have to feel unknown (Oh my god, everybody needs to see this) And every time that you call out You're a little less alone (I can't stop watching this video, seventeen years old) If you only say the word (Take five minutes, this will make your day) From across the silence your voice is heard Share it with the people you love (Repost, the world needs to hear this) (A beautiful tribute, favourite!) (I know someone who really needed to hear this today) (So thank you Evan Hansen for doing what you're doing) (I never met you Connor, but coming on here, reading everyone's posts) (It's so easy to feel alone, but Evan is exactly right-we're not alone, none of us) (We're not alone, none of us! None of us!) (None of us are alone) (Like, forward) Even when the dark comes crashing through When you need a friend to carry you When you're broken on the ground You will be found So let the sun come streaming in 'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again If you only look around You will be found (You will be found) You will be found (You will be found) You will be found Out of the shadows The morning is breaking And all is new, all is new It's filling up the empty And suddenly I see that All is new, all is new You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone (You are not alone) You are not alone (You are not alone) You are not You are not alone (You are not alone) Even when the dark comes crashin' through When you need someone to carry you When you're broken on the ground You will be found! So when the sun comes streaming in 'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again If you only look around You will be found You will be found You will be found You will be found! You will be found

NO BIG DEAL (me weeping on the floor)

omg. this just made my life.
