- Hi guys! This is a lyric video for the song "Stay, I Pray You" from the new Broadway musical "Anastasia", sung by Constantine Germanacos (Count Ipolitov), Christy Altomare (Anya), Derek Klena (Dmitry), John Bolton (Vlad), and the ensemble. Parts of this song have the same melody as "In the Dark of the Night" from the 1997 movie version, which is kind of a cool thing that they included since that song was not in the Broadway version.
I hope you enjoy it and I will be uploading lyric videos to all the other songs on the cast recording as soon as possible!
I love you and hope you have a supersparklytastic day!!!! :D
Also the content belongs to Broadway Records, the picture is my own that I took (like I took a picture of the booklet that came with the CD, not like I bootlegged it; also sorry for the quality; I tried to edit it), and this video was made using Windows Movie Maker.

This song is so beautiful and haunting at the same time. When you listen to it, you can hear how hard it is for them to leave. So much emotion.
I agree!
~:~
To hear Dimitri singing "You have raised me" really moves me, thinking of what life he had in Russia...
This song is so relevant now with the current refugee crisis. It really gives us a powerful glimpse into how scary and sad it is to be forced to leave the place that has been your only home.
Yeah I never thought about it that way! That's a good point!
~:~
Imagine if Constantine sang "In the Dark of the Night" in another performance. A good "Come, my minions, rise for your master" should send chills down our spines with his voice.
I love that they kept the melody from dark of the night
That's right! I think it's a nice touch.
~:~
I love how you can hear tidbits of in the dark of the night in this song. A nice nod to the song :)
it is literally the same song :V
I swear to God that Constantine sounds like a mix of Ramin and Josh Groban!
OMG I thought he sounded like Josh Groban too! 😂 He does kinda sound a bit like Ramin too now that I think of it.
~:~
@@harshmnr Funny thing was that the first time listening to the song is that I immediately thought to myself he would make a great Raoul from Phantom or Jean Valjean from Les Mis (both played by Ramin). Though I could also see him play Pierre from Great Comet (played by Josh himself)
@@grace5199 Yeah I could see him playing those too!
~:~
It’s crazy how on point this is, it really does doesn’t it??
So in my schools production of Anastasia, I ushered for all four shows, and was able to see them for free every time. My best friend played count, or in this case, Countess Ipolitov, and believe me when I say that they never failed to send chills up my spine. Hearing this really puts into perspective how much emotion really was put into this song no matter who sings it.
I’m so excited, I just got cast as count ipolitov in my school’s show!! I love this song so much ❤️❤️
Awesome, good luck!

I saw the show the other day when Constantine was playing Gleb and he was incredible. What a brilliant voice and performer!
Oh, cool! I saw Ramin as Gleb, and sadly he left now, but I think Constantine is great too! 😀
~:~
It's normally Max von Essen as Gleb since Ramin left, but Constantine is the understudy for the role and played him the night my friends and I saw it. We all kind of fell in love with him. 😂
Ha ha. 😂 Yeah I've heard good things about Max as well. I'd definitely be interested to see either him or Constantine play as Gleb! ☺
~:~
I wish I could have seen Ramin as Gleb. Ever since I heard him in Phantom of the Opera, I’ve loved him and his voice. He has one of those voices that you fall in love with before you even see him.
I see many comments about refugees and inmigrants.
I'll tell my grandpa's story.
He was a child when the Spanish civil war came out, and his entire family, including him, stood at France as refugees. He spent there over ten years, until the chance of a lifetime took them back to Spain.
He spoke better French than Spanish and the anthem he use to think of first was... Marseillaise.
He was the example of that succesful people that self-help books mention, with a family business.
So here it is, a man between two homelands.
Interesting story! I'm glad your grandpa had a mostly positive experience as an immigrant.
~:~
I’ve watched this twice live, and oh man it’s even more chilling in person!
This song always leaves a knot in my throat
Come my minions, rise for your master. Let your evil shine!
Find her now, yes, fly ever faster. In the dark of the night (In the dark of the night, In the dark of the night) she'll be mine!
some people said this song is very touching, i can feel it too. and is it because in early 20th century russia was not a peaceful place that some people fled out of country or just lived in vain? i did not learn world history very well and i am also not an expert in russian history, but i would like to know the background of this song so i can feel the sadness once more.
Xinyi Sally Peng In the 1920s Russia rose up to the Romanov family and after the execution of the family, Russia and her people became poor, starving and slaughtered by soldiers who killed aristocrats and other higher people and those who paid tribute to the Romanov family and people had to flee for safety and that’s what they are singing about, they are leaving their past behind to be free
@@aliyah2393 That's indeed very sad
Xinyi Sally Peng yeah it is so sad but this play/movie gives hope to the tragic story
I saw Anastasia in Madrid a couple of weeks ago.
This was my favorite song 😢
Yeah I really like it too! :)
~:~
Please just come to the UK already!!
Jonny Henri I heard it's going on world tour in the near future!
~:~
I'd love for them to do a UK tour and come to the west end , the show looks and sounds stunning
@@Saltysaltire97 It is supposed to go to the UK eventually. Right now it's starting the North American tour, Spain version, and Germany version. 😊
~:~
Is anyone else reminded a bit of Anatevka from Fiddler On The Roof? Ironic!
Yes!! My first thought!!!!!! Thank you! ^_^
Yeah, me too! 😊
~:~
YES
@@kaitlynlubinsky1675 Especially knowing just *who* was responsible for the persecution and eviction of Anatevka…
I just saw the show two days ago this song was amazing in person
Brie Stobierski I agree; I saw it back in August! 😀

CONDE IPOLITOV:
Cómo abandonarte?
Qué razón te doy?
Señor, reténlos
Ruego que se queden
Dame un momento
Déjame decir adiós
A los puentes, ríos
Bosques y cascadas
I should do this for the people in Ukraine and Russia
this is a wonderfull song but it feels really disjointed from the rest of the musical (an issue that I have with the whole Geb subplot) and the fact that it's based on in the dark of the night messes with my head though less so than the other uses of Rasputin's motif as motif for moving / leaving when it is just played as a short jingle
while it would be silly, I'd love for in the Dark of the Night to be sung as an "encore" after the ending. the original movie has two big musical pieces and only getting Once Upon December is a crime!
I think I get what you mean. I do like this song and never felt like it was out of place; in fact I think it fits because the movie doesn't really address the characters' feelings about leaving the country they've lived in their whole lives, but if you think about it realistically they probably would feel like this.
But I do agree with you about the Gleb plot feeling out of place; like I get making it historically accurate (as well as just changing something up so you don't just have the exact same thing as the movie on stage) so I don't have a problem with Gleb as a character per se. I like most of his character...except for the fact that he has feelings for Anya. It just feels very forced and the show would have been fine without it.
~:~
This has to be the worst song I have ever heard, it sounds like a funeral march
Do you know what's going on in the musical during this song?
@@97meeses21 Yeah they are getting on a train and even then that should be exciting unless they are going to a funeral. But then again the movie is better than the broadway show, they tried to turn it into Les Mis
@@kbraven7007 they are all leaving their country and will never return. They are all acknowledging this and the sorrow they feel.
Also, this song is a reference to the original song in the animated Anastasia movie called "In the Dark of the Night"
@@97meeses21 Yeah and then they sing a happy travel song🙄 Like I said the movie is better and more beloved for a reason, this is just Les Mis but Disneyfied
