This is a rather cinematic low key version. Much of the melody is parlando versus actually being sung. The quality is more jazz riffed, intimate versus operatic. The effect is personal, simple, moving and calm. It’s also very evocative. There are a few ways and keys to play with this song.

funnily enough, the two had actually worked together in another musical before Beauty and the Beast- a production of Sweeney Todd, where Audra McDonald played Lucy, and Emma Thompson played Mrs Lovett. (I just realised that original Mrs Lovett - Angela Lansbury - was also the original Mrs Potts, aka the magical teapot that Emma Thompson played. Maybe that was the logic?) I agree with you - Audra's singing makes me believe that humans are capable of working magic. I can't think of a more fitting place for her voice than the title song of a remake of one of Disney's greatest films. (I should say that I am genuinely a huge Emma Thompson fan, she is an incredibly funny, witty, talented lady - y'all should look up her version of Worst Pies in London, or like, any interview with her, or Sense and Sensibility. She is a genuinely fabulous actress - but Audra's singing voice is one of a kind. )
