Broadway veteran Shoshana Bean recently released a music video for her acoustic cover of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul's “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman. Take a look above.
The singer collaborated with Emmy-winning dancer-choreographer Travis Wall, who conceived, directed, produced, and choreographed the music video. Though Wall made his Broadway debut in the ensemble of the 2000 revival of The Music Man, he burst onto the scene as a competitor on the second season of Fox’s reality dance competition So You Think You Can Dance in 2006.
Bean recorded the original demo of the tune, which won the 2018 Golden Globe for Best Original Song. In the film, Tony nominee Keala Settle played bearded lady Lettie Lutz, the lead singer of the empowerment anthem. (Settle performed the song on the 2018 Oscars in honor of its Best Original Song nod.)
Bean starred on Broadway in Wicked as Elphaba and continues to perform in concerts around the country. She continues to create original content on her YouTube channel.Proceeds from downloads and streams of the new cover benefit the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
