Behold, the most heartbreaking song in the whole musical/film. I bet she also knows the backstory/what truly happened with the Romanovs while singing this in every night in Broadway. Having teary eyes means she does
i am a singer and have just posted my acapella cover of once upon a december : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ZFGIotPOjs.html would make my day if you can listen to it and lemme know wt u think <3
is it just me or does anyone else think that it would be so fucking cute if while he's signing the line 'but tonight there's a sky' and then he turns to anya and says 'and quite a view'
Christy always gives 110% percent. Such a strong, beautiful, talented actress. I am so lucky to have been able to see her on Broadway before the show closed.
I grew up on the sly In the gutters and the streets of Petersburg Just a kid on the fly Getting good at getting by in Petersburg I've bartered for a blanket Stolen for my bread Learned to take my chances And use my head A Russian Rat is clever Clever, or he ends up dead Boils down to There are some who survive Some who don't Some give up, some give in Me, I won't Black and blue, welcome to My Petersburg Standing here, you can see From the spires to the piers of Petersburg I'd be down on that quay Selling stolen souvenirs of Petersburg The Palace is above and Alleyways below Funny when a city is all you know How even when you hate it Something in you loves it so That's where I learned my stuff In some rough company There's the boy growing up Who was me All I've been, all I'll be We can do what we're told We can go where we're lead But I learned from my father to see what's ahead Nothing here to hold me No one that I owe Funny how a boy can grow Funny how a city tells you when it's time to go Boils down to There are some who have walls yet to climb You and I on the fly, just in time But tonight there's a sky And quite a view Welcome to my Petersburg
It was June I was ten I still think of that day now and then A parade And a girl And a crowd of thousands She sat straight As a queen Only eight But so proud and serene How they cheered How I stared In that crowd of thousands Then I started to run And to call out her name As the crowd on the road went wild I reached out with my hand And looked up And then she smiled The parade Traveled on With the sun in my eyes She was gone But if I were still ten In that crowd of thousands I'd find her again You're making me feel I was there too Maybe you were Make it part of your story A parade A parade Passing by Passing by It was hot Not a cloud in the sky Then a boy Caught my eye In a crowd of thousands He was thin Not too clean There were guards But he dodged in between Yes he made himself seen In that crowd of thousands Then he called out my name And he started to run Through the sun and the heat And crowd I tried not to smile But I smiled And then he bowed I didn't tell you that You didn't have to I remember! The parade Traveled on With the sun in my eyes You were gone But I knew Even then In a crowd of thousands I'd find you again Your highness
