Yes I noticed that today too! I heard someone humming that line and I thought it was In My Dreams until they sang "my old friend" from Santa Fe. I was shook lol!
The lines “There’s a light at the end of a hall ... / I’ve seen flashes of fire and the echoes of screams” give me chills every time. It makes me think of the sad fate of Anastasia Romanov and the rest of her family. I can’t help but think these lines relate to the basement they were led into before they were murdered by the Bolsheviks..it’s horrible to say the least.
Altomare has the voice of a god damn angel. I personally prefer her over the movie actress (Nothing against the original actresses who did the movie, I just think that Altomare did exceptionally better)
She is such a gorgeous singer and performer. Even though she's singing as Christy not as Anya here... You can see how she still brings her character to this performance. I love this. I love Christy. Thank you for making this whole musical happen. I need to come and see it.
[ANYA] They said I was found by the side of a road There were tracks all around, it had recently snowed In the darkness and cold with the wind in the trees A girl with no name, and no memories but these Rain against a window, sheets upon a bed Terrifying nurses whispering overhead "Call the child Anya, give the child a hat" I don't know a thing before that Traveling the back roads, sleeping in the wood Taking what I needed, working when I could Keeping up my courage, foolish as it seems At night all alone in my dreams In my dreams shadows call There's a light at the end of a hall Then my dreams fade away But I know it all will come back One day I dream of a city beyond all compare Is it Paris? Paris... A beautiful river, a bridge by a square And I hear a voice whisper "I'll meet you right there in Paris" Paris... You don't know what it's like Not to know who you are To have lived in the shadows And travelled this far I've seen flashes of fire Heard the echo of screams But I still have this faith In the truth of my dreams! In my dreams it's all real And my heart has so much to reveal And my dreams seem to say "Don't be afraid to go on Don't give up hope, come what may" I know it all will come back One day!
I'm literally so connected with this song, I feel chills and i cry every time she sings "I'll meet you right there in Paris" is heartbreaking how much nostalgia is in that line
Christy has a stunning voice! And I love the song because it goes deeper into Anya’s character arc. Just never thought I would be so excited to see Anastasia reborn on stage.
The expressions were so simple yet so beautiful. I love when actresses get the chance to sing like this bc when ur on stage u have to make a bit bigger but in smaller situations u can take a gentler approach
i have been crying for almost HALF AN HOUR! Every single time i replay this, her voice alone gives me goosebumps, but her eyes, something in they way she´s conveying the story in the song i- i want to see the musical do badly...
I love this musical and this is just such a gorgeous song/addition. She plays Anya so well and when she sings "flashes of fire" her eyes look just like the animated Anastasia on the cover of the movie.
Yes, Christy!!! Always chilling, always haunting, always, always beautiful. I love this song so much. It touched me the very moment I heard it. Definitely a top favorite. Bravo to Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens for this beautiful piece and brava to Christy for making it come to life BEAUTIFULLY! 💜👏🏻
Everything about this is beautiful- the song, Christy, her vocals, the music, the production value- there's too many things to name. I love Anastasia Bway and Christy!
Exactly what I was thinking, I'm a bit disappointed this is my favorite song and I was expecting to hear her sing it live in this video. Still beautiful though.
I already know I am going to SOB HARD every single minute of this musical. Anastasia has always been my version of a "Disney Princess" and to see it come to life is going to be so surreal!!! EEEE!!!
I got to meet and hug Christy at the stage door, hands down one of the best days of my life , and she was the first one to ever sign one of my playbills so good day for me :)
I love the transition in her facial expressions from "give the child a hat" to 'I don't know a thing before that" - from smiling to seemingly looking at nothing because there's nothing to remember.
ngl i want to play this role so bad that i've somehow adopted the eyebrow mannerism thing that christy does - like how she raises them like that. (also can we just discuss how her voice is absolutely angelic?? and how she's literally a princess? like how??)
Besides this one, i also love We'll Go From There, My Petersburg, Land of Yesterday, The Countess and the Common Man, In A Crowd of Thousands, Quartet at the Ballet and Everything To Win
I keep repeating the line where she goes “call the child Anya” “give the child a hat” Idek why it’s just so satisfying
Same
Same!
Me too!
OH MA GOSH!!! Same!!!
thought i was the only one lol
no one:
me, home alone pretending to be in a music video:
no one:
bagel seeds: home alone pretending to be in a music video
me: Home with my family dancing around my house pretending I am in a music video
Sammmeeeeee haha
Even though my voice is bad but who cares! XD
“I’ve seen flashes of fire, heard the echo of screams” just gives me the chills...
Oh Is that how you spell her name I thought her name was Oniona
Ceon Sun damn I just realized that’s referencing the guns firing and her family dying....dark as hell,
Yeah seriously
Every time she goes "In my dreeeaaaaams... shadows call" I'm like "Saantaaaa Feeeeee.... my old friend!"
Yes I noticed that today too! I heard someone humming that line and I thought it was In My Dreams until they sang "my old friend" from Santa Fe. I was shook lol!
Me too!
agh same!!
Now I can't unhear it! 😂
Catou Seguin ID NEVER REALIZED THAT BEFORE WOW
The lines “There’s a light at the end of a hall ... / I’ve seen flashes of fire and the echoes of screams” give me chills every time. It makes me think of the sad fate of Anastasia Romanov and the rest of her family. I can’t help but think these lines relate to the basement they were led into before they were murdered by the Bolsheviks..it’s horrible to say the least.
Same
And people still believe in Lenin…
the amount of emotion she puts into every performance is unreal
Agree...make me forgot to breathe, thankfully I'm still alive
I'm just glad they made a musical version of Anastasia, to put the cherry on top they chose a singer sounding like an angel.
Altomare has the voice of a god damn angel. I personally prefer her over the movie actress (Nothing against the original actresses who did the movie, I just think that Altomare did exceptionally better)
@@philspence3073 yep
you forgot looking like an angel!
@@Protactiny they wouldn't have picked her if she was not conventionally attractive
‘There’s a light at the end of a hall’ that melody just hits me.. same with the instrumental parts
She is such a gorgeous singer and performer. Even though she's singing as Christy not as Anya here... You can see how she still brings her character to this performance. I love this. I love Christy. Thank you for making this whole musical happen. I need to come and see it.
[ANYA]
They said I was found by the side of a road
There were tracks all around, it had recently snowed
In the darkness and cold with the wind in the trees
A girl with no name, and no memories but these
Rain against a window, sheets upon a bed
Terrifying nurses whispering overhead
"Call the child Anya, give the child a hat"
I don't know a thing before that
Traveling the back roads, sleeping in the wood
Taking what I needed, working when I could
Keeping up my courage, foolish as it seems
At night all alone in my dreams
In my dreams shadows call
There's a light at the end of a hall
Then my dreams fade away
But I know it all will come back
One day
I dream of a city beyond all compare
Is it Paris? Paris...
A beautiful river, a bridge by a square
And I hear a voice whisper
"I'll meet you right there in Paris"
Paris...
You don't know what it's like
Not to know who you are
To have lived in the shadows
And travelled this far
I've seen flashes of fire
Heard the echo of screams
But I still have this faith
In the truth of my dreams!
In my dreams it's all real
And my heart has so much to reveal
And my dreams seem to say
"Don't be afraid to go on
Don't give up hope, come what may"
I know it all will come back
One day!
Lmao why did you just write the lyrics to the song
Maryam Albaiti because some people like to read the lyrics when they listen to the music.
thank you for putting them on
Zoe Hudson they can just find another video which is with lyrics
@@cookieiszoe OR THEY CAN GOOGLE THE LYRICS LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN!
@@cookieiszoe they can also put captions on
Favorite song and favorite person. Side note: Christy is a ray of sunshine impersonating as a human.
So true!
she has such a perfect disney princess voice!!
If Anastasia gets a Live action remake, We need to start a petition for Altomare to play Anya.
Christy is not just princess - she is QUEEN
archeyangel1 she’s not a princess she’s a grand Duchess
She's so pretttty!
Me thinking I could sound like her when I sing
Me trying to sing: sounds like a dying cat
I'm literally so connected with this song, I feel chills and i cry every time she sings "I'll meet you right there in Paris" is heartbreaking how much nostalgia is in that line
Christy has a stunning voice! And I love the song because it goes deeper into Anya’s character arc. Just never thought I would be so excited to see Anastasia reborn on stage.
Being adopted from Russia these songs hit hard emotionally..
Those adoptee feels definitely hit hard
She's so in character i love it!!!
Reminds me of Santa Fe. My heart is melting
America Lasting this song didn't automatically remind me of Santa Fe. But both are dealing with dreams
Now that you say that I can see why
The chorus here has a very similar cadence and rhythm to that song. I can definitely hear it!
Chloe Foo I love Newsies
The expressions were so simple yet so beautiful. I love when actresses get the chance to sing like this bc when ur on stage u have to make a bit bigger but in smaller situations u can take a gentler approach
YES!!!! (Wish it was a live performance though as I know she's performed it far more intensely when not lip syncing to the recorded track)
Ashley N I see u in a bunch of musical theatre comment sections
i have been crying for almost HALF AN HOUR! Every single time i replay this, her voice alone gives me goosebumps, but her eyes, something in they way she´s conveying the story in the song i- i want to see the musical do badly...
The way she gets so into the character is mesmerizing. She's so talented!
She is absolutely incredible....❤
She's amazing, but I wish she was singing live in this video!
Yeah this is just the cast recording version it’s a great version but I hear it in my car every day
Christy with her christal clear voice ❤️
Lisa van Harmelen indeed she has cyrstal clear voice ❤️
The perfect casting choice for Anastasia/Anya. Just literal perfection, this song gives me chills.
Last year I saw Lilla Coogan as Anya. She has an equally beautiful voice and stage prescence
I love how she is both pretty and a good singer
I love this musical and this is just such a gorgeous song/addition. She plays Anya so well and when she sings "flashes of fire" her eyes look just like the animated Anastasia on the cover of the movie.
Yaaaay! Christy looks (and sounds) like such a princess, as usual! ❤️
Have never wanted something more in my life than this...
The video, set up, CHRISTY, the song, everything is just perfect!
Yes, Christy!!! Always chilling, always haunting, always, always beautiful. I love this song so much. It touched me the very moment I heard it. Definitely a top favorite. Bravo to Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens for this beautiful piece and brava to Christy for making it come to life BEAUTIFULLY! 💜👏🏻
Their new music they wrote for this show is so beautiful.
YES SLAY CHRISTY!! I was waiting for this since 2:00
I FOUND U AGAIN
i love all the emotion when she sings “i’ll meet you right there”
im just so enamored by how she can subtly change her facial expression and it just gives the whole performance such an impact
OMG, I JUST NEED TO SAY: NEEDING A MOVIE BASED ON ANASTASIA BROADWAY VERSION! Image that, with these new AMAZING songs!
I want it too
Her face is so expressive and her voice so powerful. i can feel the emotions.
I love her smile at “give the child a hat”
Everything about this is beautiful- the song, Christy, her vocals, the music, the production value- there's too many things to name. I love Anastasia Bway and Christy!
The intensity in her face everytime she sings is so, so precious 💖💖💖
This song is so dreamy.
FINALLY!!! Easily the best added song!
People who disliked the video are rasputen and his minions
And they're Bitter that they were cut from the musical.
Nah, it’s the Bolsheviks (minus Gleb; he has a soft spot for her😉)
Tamy M Exactly.
Umm if you know anything about history you should know rasputen was a good man and friends with Anastasia 😑
Amanda Cupp it’s the movie you dingus
She's so talented, she deserves the world
I'm gonna cry. So wanna see this. Christy Altomare is THE BEST
I'm getting Sante Fe vibes and Great Comet vibes at the same time, and I LOVE it.
this is literally the hardest song but she sings it effortlessly. Christy is such a gift.
I have never clicked something so fast in my life. I LOVE YOU CHRISTY!! This made me cry 😭😂
She is a damn queen!!!
Is she actually singing here because it sounds EXACTLY like the album version? (Nothing against Christy, obviously she can sing this amazingly)
hAy LeY no she’s definitely lip syncing....... to herself 😂 slay queen!!
It's really convincing lip syncing thp
its definitely lip sync, i listened to the obc far too much and i recognised it immediately haha i love christy though!
Exactly what I was thinking, I'm a bit disappointed this is my favorite song and I was expecting to hear her sing it live in this video. Still beautiful though.
Yep I noticed its the album too haha
I already know I am going to SOB HARD every single minute of this musical. Anastasia has always been my version of a "Disney Princess" and to see it come to life is going to be so surreal!!! EEEE!!!
She has such a big and powerful voice. This is one of my favourite songs that I've heard from this musical so far. Keep being you Christy!
This is one of my favorites from the show too.
This song is so eerie but beautiful
Dude she’s so good at what she does... protect christy at all cost, she’s adorable!! ♡
Christy brought me to tears during this song when I saw Anastasia in July. Her belt is amazing!
WOWW!!!! JUST WOW! This was incredible and Christy is filled with so much talent! I love ANASTASIA!
She's like a disney princess 😍
She looks angelic omg such a beautiful job Christy! 💛💛
this was the best musical I have ever seen
I saw it when Christy was performing!!!
she is such an icon
I got to meet and hug Christy at the stage door, hands down one of the best days of my life , and she was the first one to ever sign one of my playbills so good day for me :)
I love the transition in her facial expressions from "give the child a hat" to 'I don't know a thing before that" - from smiling to seemingly looking at nothing because there's nothing to remember.
I love christy altomare so much I watch her every day im a kid I love her so much
I don't know of any singer who can carry as much emotion in a song as Christy. She's just amazing!
Those lyrics speak directly to my heart! ❤️ I simply can't sing them without getting misty eyes...
ugh Christy couldn't be more perfect 😍😍
Ms. Altomare certainly can effortlessly sing! ~ Part of enjoyment of listening to her, is watching her warm expressive performances!
She's like an Angel! Wonderful voice! 💙
Christy Altomare is the perfect Anastasia/Anya!
Last year, i saw Lilla Coogan and she was wonderful.
Yes! Amazing job Christy! Congrats on one year Anastasia!
I can't stop replaying this song, I love it so much! Her voice is so amazing!

YES
THE BEST MUSIC OF THE MUSICAL, OMG I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH
Kisses from Brazil
What a beautiful song. Always gives me the chills are brings tears to my eyes.
an angel
I love her so much she makes me cry every single time!
Stumbled upon this on accident somehow, I love it.
ngl i want to play this role so bad that i've somehow adopted the eyebrow mannerism thing that christy does - like how she raises them like that. (also can we just discuss how her voice is absolutely angelic?? and how she's literally a princess? like how??)
she looks so good in this video!
LOVE IT!!!!!! Saw this twice last week and its AMAZING. Can't wait until it comes to California! Bravo Christy!
