My parents received the animated movie as a wedding gift, and my dad liked the main character's name so much that two years later I got it, too. Listening to this casting recording was so nostalgic, thank you so much for these lyric videos!
Damn, overall its good, but they cut my favorite part. When she sings "I simply knew it!" you can hear the actress' smile and I loved that about the old version
Strawberry Art they only cut what they can to fit the album. All of Anya's lines for example "if you can learn to do it I can learn to do it. I don't know she knew it. I simply knew it suddenly I feel like someone new." Is in the actual live production.
@@khavon123 If this is right before Anya and Dimitry dance then it's "Suddenly I feel like there's a chance" but thank you for the rest of the lyrics though, I could never figure them out
The version I watched Anya stepped on Vlad 2 times and Vlad held his foot and jumped a little bit like how it always happens in plays and then Anya gets it third try and then she dances with Dimitry but Dimitry never stepped on Anya’s foot when they were dancing in the version my school put on.
That moment when you're trying to sing along the first time you hear this and suddenly you realise the lyrics aren't the same and you're like: Wait, What?! XD
So when I saw this in Hartford for the pre-Broadway try-out, there was a part in the song where Anya and Dmitry dance (it's a really cute bit; he steps on her toes and she kicks him.) Can anyone confirm if this is still in the Broadway production? I suspect it was just cut from the cast recording since there's not much actual singing during that section of the song, but it was one of my favorite moments so I wanted to make sure.
I haven't seen it on Broadway but it's common for Broadway to cut a few instrumentals from the cast recording to give the story a better flow whilst listening to the C.R. I mean, it'd be awkward if they play the music and have the actors say what they were supposed to say at that time :)
For sure, but sometimes I wish they would cut the dialogue and just record the instrumentals, you know? Like while Anya and Dmitry are dancing in this song, the orchestration is so pretty in the background and it's a shame that they didn't record it. (Plus there are some lyrics leading up to it that were cut, too.) I felt like there was a lot missing from this album tbh. Some beautiful instrumental numbers are gone (like the Romanov ball at the beginning, and Anya's nightmare), and a few smaller songs/reprises that might not seem like much but are important to the story and sound great. For instance, there's a part in Land of Yesterday where Gleb sings, which isn't on the album, even though it adds a lot to his characterization. I just feel bad because for a lot of fans, this CR is the only way they'll be able to experience the show (at least until it tours in a couple years, and maybe not even then), and unfortunately I feel like those people missed out on some good stuff here. :(
In all other performances you have all seen did Dmitry trip and fall into the board and did they skip over the “Ive had it” part because when I saw it... well that happened
The slower tempo works really well when you see it performed live. It was actually one of my favorite scenes. There's so much going on in the number (dancing, studying, learning dining etiquette, etc.) The actors move all over the stage and use lots of different props. It would be nearly impossible to perform at the original speed, and would make it much harder for the audience to follow along, which is important because there are a couple of key plot details revealed during the song (this recording isn't the full version.) Plus, like I said, there's so much going on that it feels a lot faster than it sounds.
WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE LYRICS WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT THE LYRICS WERE PERFECT BEFORE DX I'm so confused. My childhood... this hurts. The new lyrics seem so awkward and just ruin the song. Also is it just me or does this seem slower and with less of an orchestration? They just don't seem connected with the music and so much less energy. WHYYYY?
To be fair, I don't know if you've seen the show, but they changed the story a bit. I like it this way though, makes it more mature I guess. In my opinion.
In the movie all they had to do was sing into a microphone, in the musical they have to move around whilst singing this so they changed it to make it easier for them to move around at the right parts.
Miss_Broadway they changed the story a lot like I'm pretty sure there's no rasputon (definitely spelt that wrong) isn't even in the play and I like this version better because it adds in facts that weren't in the movie like Anastasia trying to Remember facts I really like this version better to be honest but we all have different opinions i guess
Is it just me who loves Vlad deeply? He's just so human and reassuring as a character
Pam prunelle I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE GOSHSBDONDKDNDODNKD
ohhelloitsme03 :p No you’re notttttt❤️
He is my all time fav character. He’s so relatable and I’m a 23 year old woman lmao. I was laughing so hard when I saw it in March
YESS, he's a cinnamoroll
Francesca Stura he needs to be protected at all costs🥺
3:17 "I don't believe we told her that" Love that Line
I love how in this version Dmitry's response to "Am I floating?" is "like a sinking boat" instead of "like a little boat". XD
Amy Cameron I noticed that too haha. I laughed. XD
In German dima says: Wie ein toter Schwan. Means like a dead swan😂
At The Broadway show a few days ago, this was the version they did
@@nateevens2173 the little boat part I’d from the movie, the musical has the sinking boat only.
I love the exchange over her best friend and when she blows up at them!

Anya San Nicolas im srrry but i see hamilton in the playlist on ur channel
I have a little sister named Anya to lol we used to joke all the time that we found her when she was little wandering around Petersburg
@@mitchellbachman9797 nicely done, big brother/sister!
My favorite part in the Broadway production of this song was when Anya and Dimity were dancing and she kicked him which made me laugh so 😂
its so freaking funny. makes me laugh every time i see the play (seen it 6 times now!)
where do you guys watch it? 👀

Love the waltz segement. How Dimitry stepped on Anya first (is it?) and Anya kicked him!
The version I watched Anya stepped on Vlad 2 times and Vlad held his foot and jumped a little bit like how it always happens in plays and then Anya gets it third try and then she dances with Dimitry but Dimitry never stepped on Anya’s foot when they were dancing in the version my school put on.
"We're all frightened"
…
…
wE'RE ALL FREAKS BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT-.
Yesssss heathers
That moment when you're trying to sing along the first time you hear this and suddenly you realise the lyrics aren't the same and you're like: Wait, What?! XD
Chayenne Oosterveld and the tempo is slower. XD
Liteally reminds me of a Broadway version of ''To Be A Princess'' from Barbie in Princess and the Pauper😅🌸✨
Anya: Pink
Dmitry: Blue
Vlad:Green
Dmitry and Vlad: Red
All: Orange

Sarah its still in there! at least it was when i saw it in may!
I saw it this past weekend and it was still in there! Easily one of my favorite parts of the show!

Yay! Thanks for letting me know! :)
I love the part when Dimitri says “That makes two of us.” Because after that he slams the book in front of Anya
The town where I live is mentioned! (Coburg)
the musical is the real live action of cartoon anastasia!! when can anyone upload the musical performing video onto youtube?
Uhhhh my childhood!!! 🤩
Totally “If Only: Quartet” intro! Just waiting for Sebastian to chime in.
Omg you're right. It IS really similiar.
Different but i love both ♡♡
If you have in mind that Lexi is dead, it makes Anya's mood change so much sadder...
I have the part where she explodes at them as my wallpaper
In all other performances you have all seen did Dmitry trip and fall into the board and did they skip over the “Ive had it” part because when I saw it... well that happened
I wish that temper part was in the movie
1.25 speed, you're welcome
thank you so much
Dmitry- Tenor, Vlad- Bari, Anya- Mezzo? I'm curious but don't read music so trying to determine by ear.
Pretty much, yeah.
I'm kind of uneasy because of the lyric change.... merp.
Liza David same 😂😂😂
3:37 i mean like lol
Could you upload "I should've Never let them Dance?"
Arelixi there’s no song with that name, is it called something else?
Hannah Mowbray I believe it's called Learn to do it (waltz reprise)
No. No it’s called ‘what’s meant to be’ in the musical. It’s a reprise of ‘the countess and the common man’
Why was Anya's freakout cut from the tour? Does anyone know?
I saw it on Oct. 13 and I wasn't surprised they removed that. Maybe some hate that makes Anya look weak *shrugs*
@@cutephantomJCAGdoll Ah, fair enough! Still would've been pretty fun to see staged :P
i was trying to sing along XD but i got lost
is this christy? it doesn't rly sound like her
Gabi Ponce yeah it is
I have always wondered which of these dukes is Lily's husband. It would be hilarious if it was the one who had gotten very fat.
I thought they danced?
Rebecca Oreto In the live production they do! But it’s not included in the recording:(
Not a fan of the slower tempo. :(
The slower tempo works really well when you see it performed live. It was actually one of my favorite scenes.

Sarah That's so good to know! Thank you for sharing!
If you want to see the bway, look up anastasia alphabet. Look in the comments ;)
1.25 speed makes it kinda weird but fast i guess lol
I like this show, but this number is too slow. The original is frantic and fast paced, like the lessons...

Vlad sounds nothing like the movie
No.. I, I just really don’t like it.
