| I might be thinking of a different LuPone performance of "Being Alive," but the one I remember was particularly quiet. I liked it precisely because she didn't just stand back and belt it to the rafters, but sang it with a sense of quiet wonder, as if the words were only just now occurring to her. | |

| Yes, sounds like it was a different performance. The version at this concert was a lot of belting. | |

| To be fair, the concert version starts softer and builds, it's not all loud. And also to be fair, this is Being Alive, a searing 11 o'clock number that is written to build to an intense and loud climax. And also has a very rousing bridge. I'm not sure what else anyone was expecting from this song. | |

| Agreed. If "Being Alive" isn't searing, something is off. Clearly that audience loved it. | |
