トニー賞授賞式でのパフォーマンスです。
１１歳のシドニー・ルーカスが、同性愛者であるアリスンの子ども時代
を演じています。
アリスンが自分の性に目覚める瞬間を切りとったこのナンバーは、まだ
１１歳の彼女にとってとても難しい内容だと思うのですが、この動画を
見れば一目瞭然、彼女の理解力、表現力は驚くべきもので、その迫力に、
画面から目を逸らすのも惜しい、息するのも止めて魅入ってしまいます・・
動画には歌い終わった後の場面はカットされていますが、この後会場は
しばらくの間拍手が鳴り止みませんでした。
また、父親役のマイケル・セルヴェリスはミュージカル部門の主演男優賞
を獲得。オペラ歌手顔負けの美声の持ち主です。
"Ring of Keys" is a song from Fun Home Broadway Musical
performed by Sydney Lucas (Small Alison) and Beth Malone (Alison).
ALISON [Spoken] :
You didn't notice her at first but I saw her the moment she walked in
She was a delivery woman
She came in with a hand cart full of packages,
She was an old school butch.
SMALL ALISON:
Someone just came in the door.
Like no one I ever saw before.
I feel...
I feel...
I don't know where you came from.
I wish I did
I feel so dumb.
I feel...
Your swagger and your bearing
and the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace up boots.
And your keys oh
Your ring of keys.
I thought it was s'pposed to be wrong
But you seem okay with being strong
I want...to...
You're so...
It's probably conceited to say,
But I think we're alike in a certain way
I...um...
Your swagger and your bearing
and the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace up boots.
And your keys oh
Your ring of keys.
Do you feel my heart saying hi?
In this whole luncheonette
Why am I the only one who see you're beautiful?
[Spoken]
No, I mean
[Sung]
Handsome!
Your swagger and your bearing
and the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace up boots.
And your keys oh
Your ring of keys.
I know you
I know you
I know you
