    What I love most about "Schuyler Sisters" is that the whole ensemble seems to have so much fun singing it.

    The way Anthony and Daveed look so proud in the back while theyre singing “The Schuyler Sisters”, especially after the iconic ending, is adorable
  • @mydeartulip
    I don’t blame the cast for being so tense. Singing in front of a microphone..in front of the president.. isn’t the same as performing, acting, AND singing, y’know?

  • 3:45 I'm always SO IMPRESSED that the "shot him" echo works so well, and LIVE!! In the studio it makes sense because you can add effects, but this is unfiltered! They make it work with just instrument and voice.

    you can see how nervous they were at the start but with each person taking their turn singing you can here the energy gain where they start having fun
