Barlow & Bear - the Story of Bridgerton the Musical:
After binging the hugely popular Netflix series, Bridgerton, with the rest of the world and marveling at the masterful storytelling, Abigail Barlow knew it was a tale meant for the stage. She composed and posted the first verse and chorus of "Oceans Away" and "I Burn For You" on TikTok and was absolutely astonished at the response. She immediately reached out to her writing partner of a year and a half, Emily Bear, and they quickly finished those first 2 songs and began work on translating Bridgerton into a musical, prolifically composing, orchestrating and producing 15 original songs in 6 weeks, in real time, live on Instagram and sharing them on TikTok.
The viral worldwide response to their music inspired covers sung by singers both amateur and professional, and the reaction and attention from the world amazed and motivated the songwriters. Accolades and support from Netflix, leads from the Bridgerton series, Broadway stars and people from all across the music industry increased with the creation of each new song. Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton Series said, "I know all about the musical and that is just blowing my mind," she says. "I'll be sort of humming in the shower and realize I've been humming one of the Bridgerton the Musical songs." As if to prove it, she sings a bit of the Eloise song, "If I Were a Man." Composers Pasek and Paul (La La Land, Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hansen), self proclaimed "bearlow fans" wrote, "What is this musical style? Oh wait, it doesn't exist, you're inventing it".
Barlow and Bear have broken the glass ceiling on how musicals become mainstream. Rarely do two creative force come together so well matched that they create magic. Barlow's pop experience, vocal agility and exceptional songwriting ability paired with Bear's prodigious skills in piano, orchestration, film composing, jazz and pop results in their impressive compositional quality and speed. Their ability to write ear-worm catchy melodies and marry todays pop sensibilities with classic musical theater, while adding in doses of cinematic and classical styling, has created a sound that can cross from Broadway to the pop charts.

these two are gonna be the rodgers and hammerstein of our time. i'm calling it now
YUH!
I thought that was Justin Paul and Beni pastel
@@maciedixon3983 beni pastel HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA it's benj pasek lmao this comment made me teehee
@@patrishiamariesagarit4251 it was autocorrect. You don’t have to be rude about a typo. It happens
@@maciedixon3983 nono my bad I'm sorry I must've worded it wrong, the autocorrect made me laugh😂😂😂😂
I could watch a whole 37 part Netflix documentary on these two. They’re amazing and deserve everything and more.
What's that called?
I had no idea Emily can conduct too. There are so few female conductors even now. I hope both Barlow & Bear keep writing and writing. The opera world also needs to be brought into the 21st century and you two might just be the ones to do it
(Sorry for my Englisch))
The stoty was that they Emily asced Santa Fe conducted by herself. But read also the description of the video with title:
mily Bear - "Santa Fe" - original orchestral work world premiere
yesssssssssss
Alma deutscher already started to modernize Opera.
I yhink Emily can write also for opera. When Emily was age 9 she wrote a song "Piece'We Are The World". This was for a orchestra, a choir and two classical trained singers. You can find it al at the video:

These women are just so unreal, so talented. They’re going to take over the world
You guys deserve the world. Stan these queens
"Barlow & Bear" I love it. Very catchy! Next household name?
The part where it had “I burn” with the multiple news articles gave me chills b/c im so happy for your success!!! Not because of its success, but that you are doing something you absolutely love and others do too!
Anyone else remember when Emily was a tiny little girl on Ellen?? Such a sweetheart but omgggg, the talent she has grown into!! My gosh...
this is clearly what ms bear should doing. pop is nice and all, but this is big and deep and worthy of that exceptional young lady
This MUST GO TO BROADWAY.
As soon as humanly possible. And WHEN it does (not if, WHEN), you will win every award there is to win.
Preternaturally talented in SO many areas. Incredible.
I NEED TICKETS FOR THIS MUSICAL NOW!!!!!!!!
Emily saying Lin's name made my heart stop for a sec. Imagine them creating together one day OMG **breathing heavily**
Im studying producing, composing and performing at University in Scotland, it's my first year and I've had no motivation because of covid but watching this process has been the thing to push me and make me remember why I chose to study music 🙌❤🙌
Honestly has been the greatest honour being able to witness such pure talent. Y'all make my heart hurt, you're just incredible. OBSESSED wit' you. Been waking up and going to sleep with your artistry, and it's the highlight of my day. So much love for you both (like a heckin lot), even though we're oceans apart (currently 2:30am in Aussie lmao). You deserve the world 💐💖💖
I remember Emily's first appearance on Ellen and I was like "this girl has done more in her 6 years than I have in 20 some" and now she's done more than like 5 lives combined, but I do love this project I kind of hope Netflix works with them.
When broadway comes back, I really want to see Bridgerton in the lineup!
You two are a match made in heaven. It's so unbelievably impressive what you're doing.
This is the musical I need since I’ve been in a slump after being obsessed with Six
Two incredibly talented woman taking over the world. I absolutely love that. Go queens!
This musical has given me life, I simply can not stop listening and truly can not wait until I am privileged enough to see it on stage.
I’m obsessed with both of them

THIS HAS TO BE ON BROADWAY!
This musical made me finally watch the show and now I’m too excited for this

What a lovely duo
How is Emily suddenly so grown up? I swear she was 6 just two years ago! :O
I actually watched bridgerton because of the "i burn for you" tik tok :).
Jesus Emily Bear has got some background.
Omg, I just got a video recommended to me from 12 years ago about this girl being amazing at piano while she was 6, I searched her up and it looks like she’s still doing it!
Just cried watching this...
You guys are legends
An incredible project. Congratulations to both of you!🌹🌹🌹

The runs that she does on the "burn" part are enchanting

Quincy Jones
Part of inteview Bilboard with Quincy Jones about Emily Bear.at age 9.
Is another Quincy album coming?
Quincy: Then there's Emily Bear; President Obama calls her "Baby Mozart." She's been writing for symphonies since she was 5 and also plays bossa nova and the blues. She sings "Celie's Blues" from "Color Purple," anything. When we first met her, her feet wouldn't even touch the floor. She just did a concert at Carnegie Hall with a choir and a symphony orchestra.
She’s the most delightful human being I’ve ever met in my life. And her music is the same way. I am at once astounded and inspired by the enormous talent that Emily embodies. With the ability to seamlessly move from Classical to Jazz and Be-bop, she shows as much musical prowess as pianists/composers twice her age, and I am thrilled to be working with her. She’s astounding, man … she’s astounding. She plays like she’s 40 years old. She is the complete 360-degree package, and there are no limits to the musical heights she can reach.”
- Quincy Jones
