2014 Tony Awards – A Gentleman's Guide To Love & Murder – "I've Decided to Marry You"
68th Tony Awards 2014 – A Gentleman’s Guide To Love & Murder – Performance of “I’ve Decided to Marry You”
Can someone just PLEASE write a musical like this again?! I know imma sound lame…but I’m getting tired of the pop musicals and super contemporary stuff ALL THE TIME. I need a little balance.
I’m sorry but not a lot of musicals reach this level of genius these days.
2:26ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ피비ㅠㅠ
The imminent tachometer mostly cheer because art holoprosencephaly help by a elated typhoon. hurried, acid drama
Who is the male character? He is so great!!
I like how cartoonish it is especially when he jumps up and down and yells
The hours they must’ve spent rehearsing the blocking alone
This is my single favorite Tony Awards performance of all time.
Was such a good show! And this performance is SO GOOD!
Those quick-changes were the highlight for me.
I’ve come back to this with the knowledge that Monty is Stolas from Helluva Boss and I adore this show even more
I was today years old when I found out that the guy who plays Monty (Bryce Pinkham) voices Stolas in Helluva Boss
…
LIKE, WHAT!
Phoebe:
Mr. Navarro!
Forgive my intrusion!
I needed to see you,
And see you today!
Mr. Navarro!
Mr. Navarro!
I have arrived at a stunning
Conclusion,
And i feared i would lose my
Resolve
If i didn’t come here directly
To say:
I’ve decided to marry you!
I’ve decided to marry you!
I’ve decided though henry’s
Gone
That life goes on for me!
I have thoroughly thought it
Through,
And the man that i want is you,
Though it’s true there are
Quite a few
Who’d strongly disagree!
Nonetheless i will marry you!
I confess that i’m frightened
To.
But unless i am wrong you
Long
For love as much as i!
This is quite unconventional,
I admit,
But why should that matter
A whit?
And if you do not say yes at
Once i think i’ll die!
Monty:
Miss d’ysquith, you’ve rendered me
Speechless! May i call you phoebe?
Sibella:
What am i doing here?
This could be dangerous. If
I’m discovered,
Imagine the scandal,
And i couldn’t handle
A scandal so risible.
I’ll stay invisible, still as can be.
But what’s going on in there?
I can hear voices.
I recognize monty,
But is that a woman?
And if that’s a woman,
Then what is she doing here?
Is it the cousin?
I wish i could see!
If it’s that cousin,
It might just be business.
It’s family business,
And none of my business.
But why is she here
In the home of a bach’lor?
Of course, one could point out
That i’m here, as well!
But does she not realize
This situation
Puts her reputation
Severely in question?
The merest suggestion
Would cause a sensation!
And i cannot hear,
Which is hell!
Phoebe:
I’ll be warned not to marry you!
Sibella:
I could go home.
Phoebe:
I’ll be scorned if i marry you!
Sibella:
I should go home.
Phoebe:
Still, i’ve decided-
Phoebe & sibella:
To live my life-
Sibella:
And be a wife-
Phoebe & sibella:
Again!
Phoebe:
Who’d believe how my life
Has turned?
Sibella:
I should be off
Phoebe:
After grieving, i’ve quickly
Learned
Sibella:
But he makes me laugh
Phoebe:
There is
Phoebe & sibella:
Nothing can bend the will
Like half-castilian men!
Phoebe:
And there’s goodness to
Spare in you-
Sibella:
Isn’t this fun?
Phoebe:
And a gentleness there in you.
Sibella:
Isn’t she done?
Phoebe:
You have taken a wounded bird
And taught her how to fly!
Sibella:
Fam’ly business, my eye!
Phoebe & sibella:
This is quite unconventional,
Is it not?
Rather a turn in the plot.
Phoebe:
And so will i be your fiancee?!
Sibella:
Why don’t you send the cow
Away?
Monty:
Phoebe, darling!
Phoebe & sibella:
When i recall this day
I think i’ll cry!
Phoebe:
What was that?!
Monty:
What was what?
Phoebe:
That sound! Is there someone here?
Monty:
Oh, pay no attention, that’s…my new manservant,
He’s just…finding his way around.
(toward sibella)
I’ll be with you in a moment…wadsworth.
Isn’t this madness
Who could forsee
How one trick of timing
Could ruin it all?
One in the parlor,
One in the bedroom,
Nothing between them
But me and a wall!
Look at phoebe!
Noble and pious,
My esteem for her only grows.
But when i am with phoebe
I am on fire thinking of
Sibella!
Full of desire,
Passion, and dare i say it?
Love!
But when i’m with sibella,
Whom do i admire?
None but phoebe!
Perfect and lovely!
Who couldn’t love her?
Heaven knows!
‘Round and ’round and ’round
It goes!
(to phoebe)
How happy i’d be to be at your
Disposal,
My darling, of course, i
Accept your proposal!
Phoebe:
Now we should kiss!
Monty:
That would be bliss!
Phoebe:
Darling, but first i’ll say this:
I’ve decided to marry you!
Monty:
Phoebe!
Sibella:
What are they doing?
Phoebe:
I’ve decided to marry you!
Monty:
Sibella!
Sibella:
What are they doing?!
Phoebe:
Let the trumpeter call,
A wall will-
Sibella: (at the same time)
I wish this wall would-
Monty: (at the same time)
Phoebe!
Phoebe, sibella, monty:
Fall and set me free!
Monty:
Then again, there’s sibella!
Sibella:
Monty!
Phoebe:
I’ve decided to marry you!
Monty:
Yes, i’d be honored to marry
You!
Sibella:
Monty, oh, monty!
Monty:
I will marry you, phoebe!
Phoebe:
I will marry you!
Phoebe, monty, sibella:
Look what you’ve done to me!
Phoebe:
Monty!
Monty:
Phoebe!
Sibella:
Monty!
Monty:
Wadsworth!
Phoebe:
Monty! Monty!
Sibella:
Monty! Monty!
Phoebe & sibella:
Monty! Monty! Monty! Monty!
Monty: (to phoebe)
I’m grateful, indeed,
For your gracious bestowment!
(to sibella)
Yes, wadsworth, i told you,
I’ll be just a moment!
Phoebe:
Now, monty, dear, i think i
Now should go!
Monty:
Oh? Oh!
Phoebe:
But i still want to marry you!
Monty:
Even so…
Phoebe:
I’ve decided to marry you!
Sibella:
Just go!
Phoebe:
How i’m longing to marry you!
Sibella:
Hello!
Monty:
Yes, i’m delighted to marry you,
Marry you, marry-
A shame you must-
Phoebe: (at the same time)
I’ve decided to marry you,
Marry you, marry-
A shame i must-
All:
Go!
Go!
Sibella:
Go!
Monty:
Go!
Sibella:
Go!
Phoebe:
I’ll-
All:
Go!
This song has a very Sondheim-esque quality to it.
This is insaaaaane
This is so precise and amazing. It makes me jealous as hell. In my head this is how I look in my community theater plays until I actually see the video and realize it couldn’t be further from this. This is just an absolutely beautiful piece of theater.
For the Helluva Boss lovers. Monty is Stolas’ Voice Actor.
That was awesome. I was NOT ready for 2:50 xD
in south korea, Lee Sang-yi has role Monty Navarro. i can’t watch this bcs i’m not korean. bcs of this video, i’m just imagining of him doing this scene performance. thank you.
I would love to see this.
The final glorious moment of legitimate Broadway theater before its constituent members almost unanimously exploded into a howling, vengeful, bloodthirsty pack of political hyenas, as in Paris 1793-1794.
I need Bryce and Brandon to duet Better With A Man.
Shout out to the announcer at the beginning! Like the performance itself is killer but he also cracks me up
I saw this on Broadway.. it was INCREDIBLE.. and HILARIOUS>>
Stolas is weird looking without his feathers
This Tony performance will randomly pop into my head. It’s still so freaking insanely good!
I know the guy who designed the hair and makeup for this show. We actually went to my senior prom together (we’re the same age – born days apart – but we went to different schools).
A reminder that Phoibe is Montys (distant) cousin… in the book the show is based on, Isreal Rank, she is his second cousin once removed… different times but still, feels weird
I’m so in love with this performance- from the singing to the blocking. And then, they all have like REALLY REALLY good comedic timing I’m so in love, this performance is so perfect.
Как. же. это. афигеннннннно!!
Anyone else who get’s lots of Sondheim vibes from this? The witty and funny lyrics, the rhyme – hello Little night music 2.0!!
I can’t stop watching this, it’s just perfection <3
Didn’t they just SMASH IT?!! Such a pleasure to watch!!
I’m obsessed with the excitement in Phoebe’s voice at 3:51
While I haven’t seen this play in its entirety, from this one song, I am convinced I prefer the original film (Kind Hearts and Coronets), which starred Sir Alec Guinness as every relative standing between the "hero" and his ascent to lordship. This song just turns a dark comedy into a farce, and I can’t say I care for the change in tone, though I do enjoy musical comedies (and patter songs in particular).
That’s goooood theater!!!
I love how this scene plays with the ‘sound leakage’ of the doors. Like, you can see the characters react different when the doors are both closed vs one open vs both open. It’s really cool
Is that aisling bea?
Omg the chemistry!
This song sounds as if it were written by Stephen Sondheim
Who else is here because of Stolas? X3
When a musical such as "A Gentleman’s Guide To Love & Murder" opens on Broadway, I find myself wishing I was an American or someone living in or close to New York and not across the pond. I’d have loved to see this show.
Jefferson Mays is one of the most versatile stage actors in the industry.
Bryce Pinkham is a pompous freak.
i don’t think yall understand i am obsessed
I love Bryce Pinkham in Helluva Boss as Stolas!!!
I went to this when I was 10 and it was fantastic
