Jeremy Jordan "O What a Beautiful Mornin'"


After spending some years working on television series like The CW's Supergirl and NBC's SMASH, oh-so-talented Jeremy Jordan returned to Broadway last fall in the new play, American Son.

If you haven't seen the play at the Booth Theatre, hurry up as it's set to close at the end of the month.

That said, American Son isn't Jordan's only 'return' to Broadway material.

Having starred in musicals on the Great White Way like West Side Story, Newsies, and Bonnie and Clyde, folks might have forgotten what an gifted singer Jordan is.

Until now.

The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization shares a new music video, the first in a series titled, "R&H Goes Pop!," of contemporary twists on timeless classics from the R&H catalog.

Jordan gets the honor of debuting this new take on the Oklahoma opener, "Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’."

Jordan took to Twitter to announce the news, writing, "A while back, the fine folks at @RnH_Org asked me to reimagine a classic. Naturally, I enlisted the help of @brauhala & we came up with this take on "O What a Beautiful Mornin." Then @nathanjohnsonny shot this video in the summer HEAT. Enjoy!"

So happy to share "O What a Beautiful Mornin"... I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it brought me such joy to infuse some of my musical personality into a classic. I encourage everyone to take something old & shape it into something new. Something YOU think is beautiful

I've been a fan of Jordan's for years now. A terrific actor and vocalist, he's the real deal who can deliver gorgeous vocals in any style.

The arrangement and orchestration here is bright, fresh and current. I love this.
