Neil Patrick Harris - JAZZ HANDS!

[tzikeh]

For them what is just discovering that NPH can sing, thanks to Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, may I present:

Neil as the Balladeer (he comes in later in the song) in the Tony Award-winning production of Assassins.

Neil as Toby in the 20th-anniversary live concert edition of Sweeney Todd, singing "Not While I'm Around".

Neil and Jason Segal, during a talk show interview with the cast of "How I Met Your Mother", wind up singing "Confrontation" from Les Miserables.

A not-quite-good bootleg of Neil and the cast singing the opening number, "Wilkommen", in the recent revival of Cabaret on Broadway (jazz hands for the big finish!). The bootlegger doesn't quite understand how to deal with filming through a spotlight. But Neil's face *does* eventually appear out of the freakishly blank oval with black hair you first see.

So here's a publicity photo -

O.M.G.

I think the photo broke me.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Pretty much.

Okay, I saw that he was the Emcee in a Cabaret revival, but no way in hell would I have guessed that was him if you hadn't said. Dude.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I second your "Dude".

[cereta.livejournal.com]

Thirded. Dude.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Dude.

Quadrupled. I saw "NPH" and "Emcee/Cabaret" and was thinking "oh, I don't think I could get into that casting" and then clicked on the picture and

GUH

Um, yeah. Let me *try* to be a little more coherent.

Nope.

I would NEVER have guessed that was him.

Aww! I've always loved that clip of Neil and Jason Segal. Srs dorks!

So cute! Why don't I have a Barney icon!

The first time I saw/heard him sing was in some televised production of Sweeney Todd. Angela Lansbury was Mrs. Lovett, I have no idea who played Todd, and NPH was the boy (Toby)? He was wondermous.

And Joss writes beeeuuuteeefull musics for him.

Neil's never done Sweeney Todd with Angela Lansbury. Are you thinking of Ken Jennings?

[brak666.livejournal.com]

I think he was in a concert production with Patti LuPone.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Yes - I linked to it above. ;)

You totally read my mind. I saw somewhere on my flist someone boggling over NPH singing, and my mind *immediately* went to exactly that publicity photo from Cabaret.

:-)

HEE - well, once you've seen it, it's hard not to think about it. :D

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

That's NPH? WOW!

[very-improbable.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

I wanna have his babies.

[kaydeefalls.livejournal.com]

I saw him in Assassins. He was fantastic.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I saw that performance as well. I thought the whole thing was terrific. :)
