Anastasia - My Petersburg, Once Upon a December, In a Crowd of Thousands 

You can already see the character of "Anya" in her when she sings. Those expressions!

throwback to when 'My Petersburg' didn't end with the iconic belt, "My PETERSBUUUUURG"

Derek is hotness incarnate

I'm a theatre nerd and a history nerd. My heart can't handle this musical happening, I'm too excited.

THEY ARE BOTH ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR THESE ROLES I AM LEGIT FREAKING OUT I NEVER CRAVED A CAST ALBUM SO BAD

"I didn't tell you that" "You don't have to, I remembered" AAAAHHHHH This got me!

In a Crowd of Thousands makes me tear up. It's absolutely beautiful, emotional, and gives so much depth to their backstory, love story, and characters.

There is something to "Once Upon A December". It's haunting...

holy smokes they are both so goshdarn gorgeous

not hearing “MY PETERSBUUUUUURRRRGGG” hurt SO BAD

They cast them so well. Oh my god. I am blown away. Am I the only one who thinks the lead female sounds just like the cartoons Anastasias voice? I know it isn't but damn it's close.

OMG THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM CAN BLIND ME

Totally loving these new songs. Especially 'In A Crowd of Thousands'. I really like the new perspective it gives to Anya's and Dimitri's characters in showing us a new angle of their first encounter when they were children. Also, stating the obvious but Altomare's got one hell of a voice.

I love how Christy´s eyes shine as she sings once upon a December

Oh my god!... My childhood is a Broadway musical! oh my god!

Can we just appreciate how Derek nods at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="751">12:31</a> as if Dmitri realises then that he's found her again? I'M CRYING MY HEART CAN'T HANDLE THESE FEELINGS

Derek Klena

Anyone else love that fact that they play the lovers in this show and they were lovers in Carrie (Sue Snell and Tommy Ross) as well? Hahah

wow the voice from Derek is magical

Christy hopping back for In a Crowd of Thousands was adorable🥺 THERE LITTLE SMILES AFTER THE PERFORMANCES AHHH

Christy: Dancing bears... Me: Yup, she's a great Anastasia. Someone give me money so I can fly to NY and watch this

their performance of in a crowd of thousands is always immaculate

I didn't think it'd be possible to come close to the beauty and emotion of Once Upon a December. And then they sing In a Crowd of Thousands....

I am obsessed with every one of these songs, but when he opened "My Petersburg" with "I grew up..." I was kinda expecting him to continue with "in the Roxbury slums, with my mom and a series of bums" But I can't wait for the cast album to come out omg these are so good

Am I the only one who thinks Derek would make such a good JD from Heathers???

I could watch those two sing in a crowd of thousands all day long and never get bored

THE WAY SHE GOT SO EMOTIONAL DURING ONCE UPON A DECEMBER THO

OH MY GOD PLEASE BRING IT TO THE PHILIPPINES

I knew this was from when they were still workshopping but that lyric change in Petersburg still threw me for a loop

OMG! She is PERFECT!!!!! I'm crying because she brings so much to "Once Upon a December" which is one of my favorite songs of all time. She's spirited, vulnerable, longing. It's so PERFECT!!!!!!

you can see christy's eyes tearing up at the end of once upon a December

HOW INCREDIBLE IS HER ACTING OHMYGOSH

Didn't care for Derek's character on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, so I was unsure. But then he started singing and I died. That voice.

OMG THE PRE-BROADWAY LYRICS of Ny Petersburg,I’m kinda in love with it, it’s stunning!

I have been saying for YEARS that Anastasia needs to be on the big stage. And I'm so happy it's finally happening!! Once upon a December gave me so many chills

derek it should be illegal to be this hot

Ever since I first saw this movie "Once Upon a December" is the song I hum when I'm working or even what I'll sing when I'm quieting a child. It's always stuck with me!

Christy's voice captivates me , theres so much control and emotion in it . I'm so in love with her omg

I just saw the musical last month... and i was EXTREMELY surprised at the quality of the show! and the singing! I'm still feeling butterflies when i heard their singing or of the musical!

I AM FREAKING CRYING I AM NOT OKAY T-T THE FEELS OF 'IN A CROWD OF THOUSANDS' HITS ME TOO HARD......Honestly, Anastasia is a MASTERPIECE and is the best princess movie I've ever.It's way different and unique and is far better than Disney.

It always gives me chills no matter how many times I listen to this song when Christy says, "You didn't have to. I remember."

i had to emotionally prepare myself for a minute before i could watch them perform in a crowd of thousands :'(( they're so cute i cry everytime

Derek's voice 😍

John Bolton is literally all of us at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="876">14:36</a>

They're perfect for their roles in Anastasia! I love their voices and the chemistry is just so strong. This makes me want to watch the animated film all over again.

i love the fact that he always presents her after every song

The lyrics threw me for a loop in Petersburg

I hope they release an original Broadway cast recording this year, too.

God I love how expressive and in character Christy gets when she’s singing Once upon a December, it really shows how much she loved and was committed to the role.

PLEASE BRING THIS TO THE UK!!!!

With every fiber in me, I need to see this! There's the issue on the expensive plane ticket though...

Whenever I found out that Anastasia was coming being made into a musical when I was 15, I was so excited, but I never thought it would happen. Hell, I didn't even think it would go straight to Broadway. But stumbling across this today has made my heart melt with joy. Especially being a huge fan of both Spring Awakening and Wicked, I've known about and enjoyed the work of Christy Altomare and Derek Klena for quite some time, and might I say, they could not have casted a better Anaya and Dimitri. I can already see the chemistry between them, and with their talent I know they will do the characters justice.

This is weird to see after I've seen the show and met all three of these wonderful actors. My Petersburg is very different from how Derek sang it here, but the effect is just the same. Christy is so wonderful and does once upon a December just as brilliantly as it was performed originally in the movie. Derek and Christy's blend in "In a Crowd of Thousands" makes me cry like a little baby every time it's so beautiful every time I listen

Christy Altomare, sounds like a big like Meg Ryan!

Im getting Freeze Your Brain vibes from My Petersburg XD

'He was thin, not too clean...' Derek's like between 'excuse you, I am!' and 'That's rude Anya, stop bullying me!' ya know?

she looks very emotional

Her voice is PERFECT for this role!!!!!!!! His is too!!!!

It seems weird that a new broadway musical is performing an an H&M clothing store

Oh my gosh I love them too much! There little smiles at the end as they step out of character, was just too cute!

After all this time I can't get over their performances.😭😭

Just saw it on Broadway! SO AMAZING! Can't stress how great it was! GO SEE IT IF YOU CAN!

Dude, Derek Klena sounds like Santino Fontana (you know, Hans from Frozen)!

My Petersburg changes so much!

This cast is beyond perfection!!!

John smiling the whole time makes this even better. I just love this cast so much! Sadly, I never got to see it live on Broadway; and the fact that it closed last year makes me even sadder :(

A crowd of thousands will never fail on making me cry :')

I’m sorry it’s so crazy how much My Petersburg is different compared to the one on the sound track! It’s like I’m singing along and know all the words and then he talks about a bear and I thought he forgot the words 😂

Anybody else now notice the difference between the Hartford version of My Petersburg, and the version that made it to Broadway??

It’s incredible how, save for the audio recording aspect, their vocals are pin point on to how the studio recording sounds. Just such pros.

the third one gave me the shivers, amazing!

The lyrics for my Petersburg is so different from the cast recording 👌🏼❤️😱

I'm so excited and giddy oh my god.

i should be studying for finals RN but HEYYYYY IM CRYING OF JOY WATCHING THIS ummm what finals again???

Watched them opening night in Hartford Stage and I got so emotional when Christy sang “Once Upon a December” and then when Derek sang “My Petersburg” oof I was gone.

"Your Highness." I CAN'T.

Her voice gives me chills

In a Crowd of Thousands has got to be my song of the month! ❤

december gave me chills X)

Klena is everything!

DYING FOR OUR ANASTASIA TO COME OUT. I want it to be just perfect

I hope they make a cast album! They're so talented!

I remember when this was the only music/video we had from Anastasia.

Their voices are so perfect for these roles. Derek's voice makes me feel, I don't even know how to explain it. Crowd of thousands, Stay, I pray you, and Still are my favorite songs from the show. All three songs are so raw and open that every time I hear them I get drawn in and I honestly, most of the time, I tear up. I really want to see the show!!!

Honestly it's almost too heartbreaking to bear when you know what really happened to Anastasia.

This has been one of my favorite childhood movies i literally watch it two to three times a year.... and the once upon a december wasssssss amazinggg

These two r both my inspirations for being a Broadway actress. Especially Anya, she has a dream and just wanting to find her place like me. I want to show that I can make it on Broadway. That this is where I belong. So I practice every day. Learn all I can and preform whenever I can. So that I can make it. Oh one other thing I'm 13, so tell me that I can't do it. Say I'm too young, I've heard it before. But I've also been supported by random strangers. Life is full of choices, don't think of the fear just choose ur own path and make ur own future

I am waiting anxiously for the cast recording to eventually come out. Until then, I am going to watch this a hundred times over.

I love Derek's faces when Christy sings. I would shipp them so bad if he hadn't a wife and I think she has a boyfriend too.

AUGHHHHH I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY IMMEDIATELY ❤️

I really hope I can convince my parents to let me see the Broadway musical. I absolutely adore In a Crowd of Thousands!

I love their voices so good wow

It's so funny, because on the soundtrack some of these lyrics were changed. So cool to see the progress of the show! I saw it live in July, absolutely incredible!! My first broadway show!

CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS SHOW!! :-) :-)

Damn so this is the original My Petersburg wow!!!!

I love John's reactions in the background during "In a Crowd of Thousands"!! So precious haha he's all of us

this better be as good as the movie

I'm not sobbing. My mom is. She's right next to me... playing candy crush. It is pretty emotional

IN A CROWD OF THOUSANDS IM CRYING
