      Because we all have a picture in our head of what’s right, what’s wrong, and what’s successful. Unfortunately, that picture isn’t done with chalk, so it’s not so easily erased or changed by anything.

    Matt Henry is just perfect in this song, his voice and whole performance is heartbreaking yet comforting at the same time. When I saw the musical for the first time I sobbed uncontrolably the whole way through this scene and I always come back to it.

    I think something I just really love about this Charlie is that Killian Donnelly just looks so much more... working man than most. Like if you look up Charlie actor they're almost all 'Ken doll" or "pretty boy" hansome (which is not a bad thing just a thing I've noticed) while Killian kinda more embodies what you well stereotype as "worked in a factory and trying to get out of that life" like he's clean cut but he's got facial hair, and his clothes are nice but he's built like he could hold his own at a pub (drinking or fighting)
    I just really apprciated that.

      He really only wore a beard here because he was returning to the role just for this filming, but was playing Jean Valjean in Les Mis full time at this point. He was clean shaven when he usually played Charlie.

    Vacationed in London a few years ago, and a guy I met there took me to see this show in West End district. I burst into tears in the middle of this number, sobbing uncontrollably. Poor fella...all he could do was lean over to me and ask, 'are you okay'? Yes dear, I was just fine...he had no idea that moment, that evening was the highlight of my whole trip.

    When I was just a kid
    Everything I did, was to be like him
    Under my skin
    My father always thought
    If I was strong and fought
    Not like some albatross, id begin
    To fit in
    Look at me powerless and holding my breath
    Trying hard to repress what scared him to death
    It was never easy to be his type of man
    To breathe freely was not in his plan
    And the best part of me
    Is what he wouldn't see
    I'm not my father's son
    I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
    With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
    Still couldn't be the one
    To echo what he'd done
    And mirror what was not in me
    So I jumped in my dreams and found an escape
    Maybe I went to extremes of leather and lace
    But the world seems brighter 6 inches off the ground
    And the air seemed lighter
    I was profound and I felt so proud
    Just to live out loud
    I'm not my father's son
    I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
    With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
    Still couldn't be the one
    To echo what he'd done
    And mirror what was not
    In me
    The endless story of expectations wiring inside my mind
    Wore me down
    I came to a realization and i found a way to turn it around
    To see
    That I could just be me
    I'm not my father's son
    I'm not the image of what he dreamed of
    With the strength of sparta and the patience of job
    Still couldn't be the one
    To echo what he'd done
    And mirror what was not in me
