This is hilarious! I love how willing Sal and Linda were to be in this with her.

Hey, Lesli Margherita filmed her trip home for the holidays last Christmas and stolen ideas are THE WORST.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 12/22/14 at 3:07pmOkay, I was expecting there to be a little more in common with the two videos than the fact that they're set at their parents' houses, but nope, that's literally it!

Posted: 12/22/14 at 3:27pmGuys, I think givesmevoice was gently mocking Laura Benanti's recent outrage over the similarities between her and Jane Krakowski's Peter Pan "audition" videos.

Posted: 12/22/14 at 3:28pm^ I obviously failed spectacularly.

"Fascist" is a bit melodramatic, Robbie. I do agree, however, that the films are not at all alike.
La Margherita is laugh-out-loud-til-you-cry funny! Benanti is, as all-too-often, cringe-worthy.

Ah...I totally missed all that! Sorry, gives!
Also...please note my use of 'fascist' was an intentionally absurd bit of hyperbole.

Posted: 12/23/14 at 2:25pmThis is the first time I have laughed during one of Laura Benanti's videos - thanks to her mother. She stole the show!
#15Laura Benanti Christmas Short Film
Posted: 12/23/14 at 3:23pmYeah, the video was in desperate need of editing, but it was still fun. Laura was telling the guy with the great hair from Broadway.com that she's started working on original comedic material - possibly for tv - and partially motivated by her popularity on Twitter and the lack of great female roles she's finding for women inbetween "young ingenue" and "post-menopausal witch". I think if paired with the right partner, she could create some really interesting stuff.

Posted: 12/23/14 at 10:49pmI found it pretty cloying and not very funny. The bits were way too long and run into the ground. Not her best moments.

Posted: 12/24/14 at 1:20amI'm not sure about any of her "bits." Sometimes she's funny, definitely, but it's very clear that she doesn't have the best instincts as far as actually creating long form comedy. As Tina Fey once said, when it comes to sketch comedy, "establish the game, play the game and get out." Laura's videos generally seem too focused on showcasing this persona and less focused on the all important "game." That being said, there were certainly a few lines in this video I found to be hilarious.
