You can truly see her trying to keep herself together. She's been with this show for so long and she loved it and it's heartbreaking to see it go.

She deserved that standing ovation

The contrast between her and Meryl Streep's performances of this song is truly interesting. Both are very good, just super different.

You gotta love Michael Potts at the end there. That's not Mr. Hawkins going wild over Dee Dee, that's Michael going wild over Beth.

This show deserved a much longer run omg

we are SO lucky to have such clear footage of this. what an absolute legend

Just watched Meryl Streep in the Prom on Netflix. I had to see her version.

I was lucky enough to see this amazing show many, many times (including final show) and Beth’s performance was always hilarious and thrilling and touching. When she hangs her head down and really starts crying during the standing ovation - that’s over a thousand people pouring out their love to Beth and she could feel it. I was lucky to be there.

I love the look of sheer happiness on his face watching her hit that last note

I will never understand why it left broadway so quickly, still heartbroken 😔

I wish the original Broadway cast had reprised their roles for the movie!

I was there that night, and I just remember the energy in that theatre especially during this song! Thank you for posting this, I love reliving this moment!

I saw this ON Pride and the standing ovation went on foREVER and she deserved every second

While I wasn’t at closing night. I saw this during award season and I remember sitting front row and was blown out of my seat during this performance. Unfortunately there wasn’t a standing ovation (even though she deserved one each time she performed that song) when I was there! I would just love to go back in time and see this again!!

Beth and Meryl are just perfection!

That last note is the longest 20 seconds ever oh my GOD

Unfortunately the Broadway audiences today want a big movie star, and "The Prom" settled on talent over famous people. I've seen many of the cast members in other shows, and I have been a Beth fan since she took over for Christine Ebersole in "42nd Street" and kept an eyeball on the highball in her hand. The first two times I saw this were in the balcony, and the third time I got TKTS, I prayed it would be front orchestra and it was. For this scene (just a month before closing), I had chills and tears in my eyes and could barely applaud I was wiping them away so much. Beth may have not gotten the film role (although I read Meryl consulted with her), but she got the audience's love, and if her reaction to that love here is any indication, she got the prize which no movie or Tony Award can replace.

A legendary moment in Broadway history preserved for eternity!

Saw it on Broadway in 2018 (and Beth as The Drowsy Chaperone, too!), and screamed and cheered at this number, too! Sure, the Netflix movie was glitzy, but let's be clear - Beth Leavel IS Dee Dee Allen! #BroadwaySangItBetter

Seeing this show was truly the highlight of my 2019 Broadway experience!

Stage and Movie are two different things and are totally different! Meryl did an awesome job as Dede and so did the rest of the Movie Cast. The Broadway Cast is also damn awesome... and this song is one of my favorites ♥ I love Beths acting XD the door-smash always gets me

Such a wonderful show. Saw it twice. Beth Leavel was AMAZING ❤️🤗 Wish the show lasted longer so I could take more friends to see it. It was definitely underrated. Thanks for posting

I love this!!! Do you have her performing “It’s not about me” during the actual show like this?

Saw it twice last January. She was Amazing.

My god, was this front row center? My hats off to you for getting such incredible footage! Go Beth!!!

I saw this exactly a week before it closed and it was stunning.

I REALLY hope they bring back the Prom when theaters can open again. Audience has now seen it on Netflix and that should give the stage musical a good run for several years!

sobbing

I was in a production of Mary Poppins (as Jane Banks) and we had our first standing o and I was going to cry! I can only imagine what this was like for her, she's so amazing and talented and to have to see this go...damn!

My high school might be doing the prom next year for our musical. Its either the prom, mamma Mia, or Anastasia. I’m hoping for prom the most. I think it’ll be the most fun of the three

Beth Leavel supremacy

Sooo happy i was there to see this performance.

i was there closing night- her performance was iconic (also in the 3 other performances i saw her in, of course!) 😭 i miss the prom so much!

The shows that deserve long runs never seem to get them

Amazing... I'm so glad to have seen her perform this live. This show deserved a much longer run.

Chills!!!

And this is Broadway

I wouldnt be able to give her a standing ovation, because I would disintegrate if I was even in the same room as her

Is this crowd high? They laughed and cheered way to loudly for EVERYTHING.

Good but I prefer Meryl.

Meryl Streep's version is better!!!
