Last night’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert featured a breath-taking performance of “Prisoners” from singer-songwriter Regina Spektor.
The footage – filmed following Spektor’s 2019 Broadway run – features tap dancer and choreographer Caleb Teicher and is directed by Daniel Ryan.
“When I did my solo piano tour, I revisited some of the older songs. While dreaming up fun things for the Broadway shows I invited Caleb, who is brilliant at using tap as percussion, to check out ‘Prisoners,’” Spektor explained in a statement, “After the shows, we filmed the song at Roulette in Brooklyn, just to have a memory of that wonderful moment. Little did we know that being alone in a theater and on opposite sides of the stage would be where the world was heading. I await the day we can all dance and perform together but for now I’m so glad to share this performance during a time I’ve been missing playing music for people.”
