dove and kristin are the perfect duo for mother/daughter roles since they were in descendants before this!

[WiseDelilah]

Dove has got these perfect teenage facial expressions. All the eyerolls, the huffs, the smirks. Amazing.

[nadiaahamada]

dove has this old school voice that fits perfectly with this type of music and she is perfect in amber

[BeanBag]

Dove is so lucky to get to work with Kristin Chenoweth so much

[chocolatechip]

The little detail of Penny not knowing how to pose at the end always cracks me up.

[annaapostolopoulos]

I will never be able to get over how happy Dove looks in this video. Ariana and Maddie are trying to be assertive and convincing (really good actors of teenage girls in this situation), but Dove is just a smiley baby! She's just adorable and she's having so much fun while the other girls are trying to stay in character. It literally makes my heart S W E L L seeing all her silly faces!

[abbydeleon]

I think Dove has the gift for the musical theatre world! She should focus on it

[eljordinio]

Can we just talk about those runs that Maddie and Dove do during the second verse when they sing "bow" and "how" respectively? That's seriously good

[JoelBrewton]

FUN FACT: This is the edited version of the song from the DVD. On the night of the actual broadcast, the lighting crew hit a slight technical difficulty towards the start of the final verse, causing Maddie Baillio to get plunged into darkness. For the DVD, they edited in footage from an earlier recorded rendition of the song to help make the glitch less noticeable. If you look closely from 3:10 - 3:25, you'll notice that Tracy is not nearly as well lit as Penny or Amber, and you can actually see the spotlight pan over to her at 3:23. The actual broadcast also has a couple other glitches throughout the evening, including a brief moment during "Good Morning Baltimore" where Maddie's microphone shorted out for a couple seconds, but I honestly didn't even notice until I read about it later in an article because I was already enjoying it so much. As the title of this channel states: The show MUST go on!

It's immensely cool how the 3 moms won a combined 7 Tony Awards!

I love how you can seamlessly see Ariana tripping on her lamp 😅 you can hear her react to it and see that the lamp is only a bulb on her next scene

[gabby.torreon]

I love how Dove sang “Watch me fly” IT WAS AMAZING!

[Fritzi_A]

How is no one commenting on how good Maddie's performance as Tracy? She did such a great job and I feel like she's not getting the recognition that she deserves

[emperorholocron]

It’s actually crazy thinking this was from nearly half a decade ago 😫

[arianaramos]

notice how everyone's only talking about dove and ariana... it's kinda disappointing, this girl, Maddie I believe her name is, did an amazing job, but isn't getting the recognition she deserves

[arabellastringer]

MADDIE has such a great voice, so professional and really meant for musical theatre!

[AmberXx]

This is one of my most favourite songs from this musical

[cerealbeforemilk]

I love Dove’s voice so much omggg, it’s very clear. They all did great!

[kerryegan]

Love Dove’s facial expressions she’s like a ball of sunshine 🥰🥰

[roseJ]

I didn't know I needed Dove and Ariana in a song together.
