Chicago & Sunset Boulevard SUPERCUTS

Just for fun and to fight some COVID boredom, I decided to create some musical "supercuts" featuring vocals from multiple actors who have played the same role. There is quite a bit of manipulation to make these work, so some changes were made to get the parts to align seamlessly.

I thought y'all might enjoy them! If I make more in this series, what songs/artists do you think I should try?

YouTube links:

Sunset Boulevard - As If We Never Said Goodbye
ft. Patti LuPone, Glenn Close, Helen Schneider, Petula Clark, Betty Buckley, Elaine Paige & Diahann Carroll

Chicago - All That Jazz
ft. Chita Rivera, Liza Minnelli, Bebe Neuwirth, Ute Lemper, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ruthie Henshall & Renee Zellweger

Thanks!

I saw Sunset Boulevard in London with Betty Buckley...and later on with Elaine Paige. I also have the Patti Lupone and Glenn Close cast recordings...plus the BBC recording of the concert with Petula Clark and MIchael Ball.  This is one role that soars with both the acting and singing performances! A pity we may not see a film adaptation of the stage musical ( which is an adaptation of the much revered Billy Wilder film noir of the same name) - no solid announcement from Paramount or any other producer for the project yet.

I have fainter memories of Chicago but I did see it with Ute Lemper and Ruthie Henshall in London.

Everything is better with more Ruthie! Stay tuned for something special she and I recorded in a few months. 😃
