I listen to this CD in my car all the time and I love when that part comes up; it's really fun to sing it while you're driving and pretend you're the characters! XD ~:~
The reason this song grabs me is because it's pure genius - on many levels: catchy melody, clever lyrics, beautiful voices, flavorful chorus, awesome instrumentation, the beyond amazing chording, the contrast of levity (the bouncy music and Vlad's attitude) in a heavy situation (their lives were at risk), 3 different stories sung at the same time in harmony, and how the hearts of the characters - their "life stories" are revealed in their brief lines (Anastasia: on the brink of discovering "who she really is," Dmitry: "Put on our show, rewards will flow...this chance is all I've got," and Vlad: "Bottom line: I'll win her"). And seeing this live on Broadway, the visual effects were spectacular! Bravo to the composers, musicians, performers, choreographers and all those behind the scenes folks that made this song, this scene glorious!
When I saw the tour, there was a brief break between this song and I Pray to fix the train. They were able to let the projector play but not make the train move
Jessica Liu eh, its not a major plot point. They were taking off people with a certain color passport off the train and shooting them for crossing the Russian border, which is why Anastasia, Dmitri, and Vlad jump off the train in this version. In the movie it was some other reason, cant remember.
@@astrowiz3544 actually its because they were looking for people who were illegally leaving, hence why ipolitov was killed, and why they had to jump off the train
How do you write a song that so perfectly captures the emotions of a refugee from a country they love, but fear? A country they fought for, only for it to transform into something even more oppressive and evil, such as the world has never seen? They feel like traitors, but feel so betrayed. But by who? Themselves, for they fought for the changes they now flee from?
That's how Americans will feel if, in the future if we make this a socialist nation. Always looks good at first until you realize you've lost all your freedoms and the government now calls the shots for everything.
@@fjz10706 whoa, chill out. Obviously you're a hypocrite if you're complaining about this being a musical for kids and following it with "u bullshit". Obviously you aren't mature enough to realize that "younger audience musicals" can appeal to adults. And although this musical can apply mostly to a younger audience, older audiences understand the deeper, mature themes of this musical like political and emotional themes. So yeah, chill.
This is my favorite song from Anastasia so I picked it to sing at the 50th birthday of my performing arts school and after practicing it I realize that Anya's part is RIGHT IN MY BREAK the entire song. I'm freaking out now.

When I went to NYC to see this a few weeks ago, I came on the train, so I kind of had this song in my head as I watched the Connecticut coastline go by!

They're on the train out of Russia and all basically reflecting on what they're doing and what awaits them in Paris. The staging is super cool but you're not missing much context (:
meltalviel it is super cool!! It looks like theyre really moving and they rotate the train to show all the perspectives of the leads and ensemble members. So much thought put into the scene, like the ensemble members pretending to sleep and bobbing their head to imitate a bumpy train, gah I loved this.
"Meet the royal... mess!" #relatable
Alex S. Same haha
lmao
Alex S. l
instablaster...
I always find it funny when Dimitri says "why did I say yes" with Anya because I'm like "hold on, this whole operation was your idea"
"Oh what a lovely day for a totally illegal lovely getaway!" Haha! Love it!
I listen to this CD in my car all the time and I love when that part comes up; it's really fun to sing it while you're driving and pretend you're the characters! XD
~:~
Everytime I hear that line I just think of Mad Max: Fury Road...
Natalie Harshman - That's a perfect song to sing while driving lmao.
Me watching a bootleg

YESSS SAME

Love how immediately after this bundle of happiness, theyre taking people off the train and shooting them haha
Holy shit, spoiler much??? Why was there a shooting?
Jessica Liu eh, its not a major plot point. They were taking off people with a certain color passport off the train and shooting them for crossing the Russian border, which is why Anastasia, Dmitri, and Vlad jump off the train in this version. In the movie it was some other reason, cant remember.
Yeah in the movie it was just because Rasputin sent his demon minions after them...
~:~
@@astrowiz3544 actually its because they were looking for people who were illegally leaving, hence why ipolitov was killed, and why they had to jump off the train
@@harshmnr Luckily I like it better in the stage version
im obsessed w the "oh what a lovely ride" section to the end its so PRETTY
The fact that Vlad sounds so happy when he talks about dinner...
I don’t know why, but I freaking love it when Derek sings “put on our show, rewards will flow”
I honestly can’t stop replaying that one part
I love how it goes from
Stay, I Pray you: beautiful, airy and heart aching
to We'll Go From There: bouncy, silly and bubbly! XD
I like how the music (particularly the snare drum) sounds like a moving train. It really adds to the song!
Two of my favorite songs from this musical! I haven't seen it, but I listen to the cast recording all the time.
Meghan Robertshaw Talk about a mood whiplash
Hannah B I do hope to see the show as well
Then the mood whiplash strikes _again_ when the soldiers start to execute people in their train seats

@@sadberry7716 It's "prager u bullshit". Prager U's a youtube channel with political views.
Do you mean PragerU videos like this one? www.prageru.com/playlist/why-socialism-never-works/
"What a lovely day ... For a totally illegal, lovely getaway" is my favorite line from the musical!
This is my favorite song from Anastasia so I picked it to sing at the 50th birthday of my performing arts school and after practicing it I realize that Anya's part is RIGHT IN MY BREAK the entire song. I'm freaking out now.
I was singing this song as I was coming home after seeing the show. Honestly this is one of my favorite new songs. It's just so fun and happy😂
lyrics:
VLAD
I may have gotten fatter
But maybe that won’t matter
Bottom line
I’ll win her
We’ll do some reminiscing
She’ll see what she’s been missing
Over wine

And oh I know
I’ve grown a tiny bit grey
Some women say
I look distinguished this way
I’ll bow as if I’m still a frisky young pup
Let’s hope that I can straighten up
If she says no
We’ll all lay low
And we’ll go from there
ANYA

You are a truly awesome person. Thank you
I love how in the beginning Anya is panicking and the Dimitri cuts in just to reassure her like "get a grip and take a deep breath and-" 😭💖💖💖
When I went to NYC to see this a few weeks ago, I came on the train, so I kind of had this song in my head as I watched the Connecticut coastline go by!
71crm that's so cool!
That's awesome.
That’s so cool.
For any starkids out there... Anastasia’s part of this song remind me so much of “I Was” from AVPSY 👀
OMG THANK YOU I WAS SO CONFUSED LIKE WHY IS IT FAMILIAR
one of the best tracks in the musical, ITS SO CATCHY AND JUST UTTER FUN
*Get a grip and take a deep breath*
My favorite phrase
YES YES YESSS
Was singing "why did I say..." When my mom called my mom called my name and I responded "Yes?" In perfect form.
God mood.
I'm 2 years late, but omg
i love how right after this happy song, count ipolitov gets shot 🙃 that poor man
"I may have gotten fatter... But that won't matter!"
This sounds like a fun train ride song! Been a long time since I have been on one.
Manuel Orozoco, I see you everywhere lol
@@CakeKitty135 Why thank you. I got good taste
@@manuelorozco7760 You do lol
This is the best song in the musical and you can’t change my mind
I’ll bow as if I’m still a frisky young pup!💕
I love the person who plays Vlade.
That poor count Ipolitov :(
1:12 favorite part
This is my favorite song in this musical
This song is awesome! 💕
this song just gives me a special kind of joy🥹💗
My train ride song
So basically what we get from this song is that Vlad is into pup play
a confused snake ....Is that why he took a liking to Pooka?
Ok Who Misses this Show So Much
Me. I would kill to see this show again. It was so beautiful. One of my favorites

I may have gotten fatter- me in quarantine listen to this for the 1,000 time
This was the last new musical I saw before COVID hit
AMAZING live. Go see it if you get the chance!
The train didn’t move when I saw the show. They paused it to fix it before this song. But they didn’t
My fav hope song that has a different music style from the rest :))) oh I’ll go from there
I play as Dimitri in an musical and I love this song
Reminds me of singing in the rain
This song is why Vlad is my favourite character
1:44 the all abord motif is beautiful
Theres some other tune this reminds me of :) :/ :D but I LOVE this :)))
It reminds me of "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" from the Broadway Little Mermaid - they're definitely different, but similar feels
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
does anyone know where i can find a good instrumental?
Can you briefly explain what is going on here?
They're on the train out of Russia and all basically reflecting on what they're doing and what awaits them in Paris. The staging is super cool but you're not missing much context (:
