Just saw it and I must admit: Anastasia surpassed Wicked for me for #1 favorite Musical. Also, Christy is an absolute sweetheart and Derek is really very handsome :D
Our opening night for Anastasia was last night and our auditorium was packed and every single person yelled and cheered after this song. It was amazing ❤
From 0:59 and on, all I could hear was princess Carolyn from Bojack the horseman. It literally took me by surprise to find out it's a different actress hahah. Her voice is incredible whatsoever and I can't describe my love for those growlings! This is one of the best songs in the musical
Duck On Quack I remember instantly falling in love with this song AFTER I saw the live performance, it just makes it even better to listen to plus Countess Lilli has so much personality and confidence on stage
I just got Lily in my version of Anastasia. A charecter choice I chose is speaking in a heavy Russian accent the entire show (even while singing!). I need to listen to this over and over to stay on track and make sure I’m still on the notes 😂🥲
1) LOVE THIS MUSICAL WITH LIKE, EVERY FIBER IN MY BODY! 2) Some people will get this XD.....but guys... *slaps tambourine* It's Lilli's joke of de day!
We are doing this musical and my sister is playing Lily and she sings this song so good she made we cry every time I hear her sing this song and I’m on tech doing the projections and they are just blowing me away
So glad the musical added in the critique of the monarchy. I loved the film growing up, but it was pure propaganda. And pro-absolute monarchy propaganda, at that.
My school is doing Anastasia for our spring musical and I hope to be lily in it so bad Edit: I didn’t get the part of lily, but I did get an the ensemble and am Olga, Sergei, a person of Paris, and a government office worker
am i wrong or is there a verse in here that isn't the same as the stage version? the "in dire circumstances...." replaces the "a different way of life....in which i lived like a nun" verse !
Actually a good song, but the instrumental part in the middle of it sounds much toooo jewish! I really love jewish music, but it doesn't quite fit the Russian aristocrats' political opinion! - They were againt the jewish, weren't they? Unfortunately!
I think it just symbolizes the irony. It says hey, weren't you outcasts and rejects before. Just like those who you seek to persecute. Saying that, I think it also hints their hypocrisy.
Kareem Abdel Hakam maybe they thought so when they wrote the music, but I think people who don't recognize the jewish style wouldn't know that. but though it could be that way
It sounds similar to when the Russian Peasants sing during the song "To Life" in Fiddler On The Roof. Much of Ashkenazi Jewish music and Russian music borrowed from each other since they were in close proximity.
I think it’s due more to similarities between the two cultures and music due to proximity than any hidden metaphor. This is what Russian music sounds like.
I was surprised that she ended up being my favorite part of this entire show! This number was AMAZING.
same i loved watching her in the musical
Same!
Just saw it and I must admit: Anastasia surpassed Wicked for me for #1 favorite Musical. Also, Christy is an absolute sweetheart and Derek is really very handsome :D
It was way pass Hamilton and The Heathers. Sad that it ends March 31st 2019
Cody Simpson plays the main guy
Mrs. Bacon bits yeah Cody plays Dmitry now but Derek Klena was the original Dmitry
I agree! It is my favorite!
Caroline O'Connor's voice is so iconic. I LOVE
very talented Australian actress
Ikr? I bummed me out when she left the show. She's so cool!
Yes, I hope for a voice like hers!
Between this and Great Comet, it seems like Russians in despair know how to party
@AND ANDREY ISN'T HERE all russians know how to party
Drink with me my loooooove
Conspiracy theory: Lili is actually Pierre in disguise
@@twusssister8567 wait no no you’re on to something
Pull off the mask and ITS COUNTESS MARYA DMITRIEVNA AKHROSIMOVA
This would make an awesome figure skating program.
Oh my god I never though of that, I might choreograph this now! Thank you for that idea!
Oh my gosh I was literally thinking that too!! 😍it would be AMAZING
@@pompuskaya did you ever? 👀
When I saw this musical, I was so surprised from this song. It's personally my favorite. The singers were impressive!
I was bouncing in my seat during this song when I saw this in March. Such a fun song.
Joel Archer I know right! I haven't even seen the musical and I dance.
I did the same thing when I saw it on tour 😂😂
I kind of want Kristen Chenowith to play Lily now. Just imagine what she could do with those high notes!
Lalas181 _y E s_
Oh my god yes
If there is a live TV production one day, I’m game for that
Hard no. Lily is an alto. Kristen Chenoweth is a Soprano-Mezzo Soprano. There's already so few roles for lower vocal range women.
I’m a soprano I tried singing this song and oh my god it did not sound right instead of low it was high@@bboops23
love the burlesque and moulin rogue feel to it
Tutti Dolci I LOVE MULAN ROUGE
Fun fact: Do you know the one who sing ,play a girl in moulin rogue movie :)
I need to remind myself I'm listening to _Anastasia,_ not _Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812._
Jay Walker only in russia
R u s s i a
Jay Walker This song and the abduction give the same vibe
Grace McLean would be perfect for this role
Sammeeeee

aww, I been wanting so much to hear this song when I heard in the Anastasia musical trailer clips
Same here, it's honestly been stuck in my head since then
Kind of reminds me of "Friend Like Me" too lol
Ahaha!!! It does!
At least the instrumental dose for me
It's probably because it's a minor key swing, similar to Friend Like Me
This is my favorite song from the musical. It's so 1900s jazz club. That was the point, but still!
Act 2 takes place in 1927. So it is going to have the jazz
BUT STIIIILLLLL!!!!!!! ( sung like Ramin)
What I wouldn't give to see this on Broadway. The song is spectacular as are the other songs.
Did you ever get a chance?
@@manuelorozco7760 sadly no lol
@@shanabrennan2272 I’m sorry about that. I saw the national tour over a year ago
I smell a dance number happening 😍😍😍
A absolutely huge dance number that is filled with personally the best personality I’ve ever seen
Me too. I'm anxious to see it when the touring version comes to California in the Fall
Duck On Quack I remember instantly falling in love with this song AFTER I saw the live performance, it just makes it even better to listen to plus Countess Lilli has so much personality and confidence on stage
@@ksand12306 I didn’t expect to laugh with her and Vlad
The fun fact about the woman who have played Lily is the one who is one of the Can-Can Dancer from Moulin Rouge The 2001 Version!
It's like a mixture between fiddler on the roof and everything goes
And bits of The Great Comet
I cant stop listening to this
Same
One of my favorite songs from this musical! It's so amazing!
One of mine too
This oddly reminds me of Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812.
Sarah Rose that's what I said hahahaha but this is more happy makes me want to become a drag queen
Sarah Rose welcome WELCOME TO MoScOw
Sarah Rose they're both about sentimental Russians
The staging and coregraphy made me think of a less energetic balaga
SAME

Wow that part from about 1:48 on sounds like an homage to the Fiddler on the Roof bottle dance!
Rachel H, yes, I agree! Uber Russian!
Rachel H Yes!! I was trying to figure out what that was...I knew it sounded familiar lol
They're both omages to a famous Russian folk song, the name of which escapes me...
At first,it looks like a superficial pop song but when you listen to it it's kinda motivational.
Music is so energetic and lyrics so thoughtful
does anyone get a "we both reached for the gun" vibe?
Alexis Nightingale omg yes
I LOVE THAT SONG
Alexis Nightingale very 1920s
Not for this song but for the press conference yes, a lot !
definitely chicago vibes, at the end of the song for sure
One of my favorite songs from the musical :)
1) LOVE THIS MUSICAL WITH LIKE, EVERY FIBER IN MY BODY!
2) Some people will get this XD.....but guys... *slaps tambourine* It's Lilli's joke of de day!
I loved Caroline's jokes of the day
Omg yes 😂🥰

This is such a fun song!
Just saw the show last night and DIED. It’s so much better live :D
Once the tour kicks off best believe I'm getting front row seats
edgar carrera same I hope it comes to Ohio so I can go see it with my friends
SAME
edgar carrera omg ikr its going on tour in 2019 I can smell it
me with the european tour
I hope to see the tour in California this Fall
Were in France now ...
me : eVeryONes FaVroTe FrenCh FrYYY
Riley Ross LONG BAGUETTE
@@thesingingthing 🤣
I love the old vibes with a twist of some history
I saw it live a few weeks ago and to those that saw the off Broadway version the choreography for this is 10 times better now!
this is such a theater dazzle and were here for it!
My Favorite New Song up there with The Neva Flows, In My Dreams, Still
Cool!
Anytime this comes on in my playlist I think it's "I want the good times back" from the little mermaid musical
Yes!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears it!!
@@Caroline28483 I don't have this song memorized enough so I only realize it's this song when they sing the first Russia lmao
The land of yesterday was Great Comet.
Dead Heather Chandler oh my god yes 😂
Omg 😂 you also have the greatest name ever!
Greatest name ever also you might be thinking of Moscow
I'm thinking about the mindset and culture 😊
“we’re not dead now we’re in France instead now” *cue entire cast of Great Comet tap dancing onto stage*
got a callback for Lily and I physically CANNOT😭😭
i grew up with this to the point i still can here meg ryan speaking her parts and Angela Lansbury speaking her parts still memorable
Her gROWLS are fucking impeccable
I've been very curious about this new song since I kept watching the video montage for this show. I now officially love it!
i´m getting a "friends on the other side"fr0m The Princess and the Frog meeting "we both reached for the gun" vibe
Kind of upset they cut Gleb's part in this from the Hartford production
gleb’s part hasn’t been cut off! it’s not in the cast recording, but in the actual show he has a reprise afterwards.
Marisa Lynn I just got to see the show! Yeah he has the reprise after “the countess and the common man”
Dramatic Irony i’m so glad you got to see the show! it’s so amazing and i love it sooooo much. 💕 i’ll be seeing it for my third time this weekend!
Sounds like Havin' a Hunch from Seussical. Same composer....coincidence? I think Not! :)
I have been playing the music from seussical for 3 months as part of pit and never once have I picked up on this and I’m both angry and impressed
So glad the musical added in the critique of the monarchy. I loved the film growing up, but it was pure propaganda. And pro-absolute monarchy propaganda, at that.
I think the musical is better than the movie
This is my favorite musical theater song ever
I just love the song
One of my favorite songs from the show
Anastasia! Land of yesterdayyyyy🤩
my school did this musical, the songs were so good and the performers did so well
When she sings low I can only hear Marya D and when she sings higher I can only hear Hélène
Great Comet consumed me before this could I’m sorry
Я не знаю как так получается, но с первых секунд прослушивания у меня перед носом запах маминых котлет...
Who else hears They Both Reached For The Gun from Chicago at 0:47?
Clockwork Layton I did too, I'm not the only one, yay!!!!!
abduction from great comet walked so land of yesterday could run
Imagine Caroline O'Connor as Persephone and Amber Gray as Lily.
That would actually turn out perfectly…
This song is so good
im in this and help its stuck in my head (im just ensemble lol)
I'd give anything to be in the chorus of this!
i don't know why but I hear a bit of We Both Reach for the Gun from Chicago
My school is doing Anastasia for our spring musical and I hope to be lily in it so bad
Edit: I didn’t get the part of lily, but I did get an the ensemble and am Olga, Sergei, a person of Paris, and a government office worker
Omg our school too! I got ensemble too!
@@jakeceriello4294 YAS! 👏
Listening at 1.25 and it is a bop
Playing this on clarinet reed 1 was a challenge….
At 3:20 lily gives my Halloween vibes
This is a banger
This.... This reminds me of Spanish Panic from Once Upon a Mattress.
I only saw the TV movie version with Tracy Ullman and Carol Burnett.
This gives me some funny girl vibes. which i love. SOME. not a lot
this show looks weel constructed
It blows the movie out of the water
Guess who's dead ! me
Blanche Vanin i'm not sure why you're dead but me too tbh
Olivia Hill I'm french and i'm gonna see this musical next sunday this is why i'm dead (also bc I love this music now)
Blanche Vanin I saw it in April and I've been dead since then. this musical own my soul
Olivia Hill gimme some place in your soul
Blanche Vanin i'll see if I can fit you in between Eliza Schuyler and Captain America: The Winter Soldier
1:10, it’s just a time stamp for me to practice my Audition for school😂😅
HOW DID THE AUDITION GO
If anyone knows where I can get an instrumental version of this song with the dance break, let me know!
or even the sheet music with the dance break
please

Kristin Chenoweth for Lili!
If ABC or Fox does a live TV production, that’s one Dreamcast come true
this song cured me and my cat jerr
I'm going to dance this song and the truth is that it's a very good song
am i wrong or is there a verse in here that isn't the same as the stage version? the "in dire circumstances...." replaces the "a different way of life....in which i lived like a nun" verse !
Madeline Ella the one your talking about is the Hartford version.
My company is premiering rhis in my country
One left foot on the left foot in the middle on the street on you sit down on the step one
whats it called when songs do that one part at 1:54?
LOL why can I do picture Christian Chenoiete singing this xD
Did anyone come from Brown lams
