Alesha Bales - yes, but if you like this, watch him in the “Chess” concert on RU-vid with Idina Mendel and Josh Groban - “Pity the Child” will have you sobbing.
Just found this musical and it's already become one of my favorites! I've watched several productions of it (including a bootleg of the OBC) on YT and bought the OBC recording, which I've listened to countless times already. Love it so much! It NEEDS to come back, or be made into a movie!
Totally agree, I'd love to see it back on Broadway! I just can't decide if I want to see it with the original cast back since they're all so freaking amazing, or if a new cast could be found to fill those enormous shoes! I can't decide who I'd like to see take the torch from these legends! Jennifer Hudson, maybe? Jonathan Groff? But... yeah, I can't think of anyone comparable to Sherie!
Amneris: It's so strange he doesn't show me More affection than he needs Almost formal, too respectful Never takes romantic leads There are times when I imagine I'm not always on his mind He's not thinking what I'm thinking Always half a step behind Always half a step behind. Radames: I'm in every kind of trouble Can't you tell, just look at me Half ecstatic, half dejected All in all I'm all at sea Easy turns I thought I wanted Fill me now with chilling dread You can never know the chaos Of a life turned on it's head Of a life turned on it's head. Aida: I am certain that I love him But a love can be misplaced Have I compromised my people In my passion and my haste I could be his life companion Anywhere but where we are Am I leader, am I traitor Did I take a step too far Did I take a step too far? (All three then sing their part together) All: Did I take a step too far?
C84141 After they sing their parts individual they sing them all at the same time (well, they are slightly modified of course). It all intertwines because it's supposed to represent their thoughts (which of course they are all having at the same time). It's very beautifully written...
If anyone is interested in singing Aida's or Radames' part in "A Step Too Far", please go to my channel for more information, I'm doing a fandub of this amazing song :D
