The title is lame, I know! But we need somewhere to talk about his singing, he's done so much of it!

To name a few...

Rent - Mark Cohen
Sweeney Todd - Tobias Ragg
Cabaret - Emcee
tick, tick...BOOM - Jon
Assassins - Balladeer/Lee Harvey Oswald

He's also done some one-off performances, such as Wall-to-Wall Sondheim, Broadway Backwards, Hot In Hollywood etc.

His version of If You Can Find Me, I’m Here from Evening Primrose is so good!

Thought I'd bump this thread, just because one of the things that blew me away about NPH was his singing.

Thanks for the new thread!

I love that Sweeney Todd performance. I have the whole thing on DVD and he's just outstanding in it!

I love this clip too:

I wish I could have seen him in Rent.

Any chance his Rent performance is on video somewhere?

*~*Rach*~* · 05-05-2009, 03:23 PM

I don't think so.

I know there's a bootleg audio of his last performance kicking about but it's, well, a bootleg, so it's not great quality! I found it really hard to listen to.

He did Rent? I totally didn't know that!!!

ariadnekb · 05-05-2009, 08:28 PM

^^ That's too bad. I bet he was amazing in it.

I love the idea of this thread! I'm obsessed with his singing voice and just want to hear it all the time.

He played Mark on "The Benny Tour", LA/San Diego 97-98.

Quote:

“Among the musical highlights of this production are the performances by Neil Patrick Harris and Christian Mena as Mark and Roger, respectively, the roommates whose garret — the top floor of an abandoned building in New York’s dicey Alphabet City neighborhood — is the locus of Larson’s ’90s riff on the plot of Puccini’s “La Boheme.”

That's pretty amazing that he was in Rent. He looks like a Mark too.

You should check out the Broadway sketch he did on SNL if you can view Hulu!

Same here, sort of. When they had him do that little karaoke bit at the end of S1, I was stunned at him being really good. I noticed that this weekend. And then I remembered that he's done musicals and actually sings.
