Loved this show!!! I saw it for Kids Night on Broadway when I was 13. Funny story how I got hooked in Brooklyn, I saw Eden in WICKED go on for "Elphaba" at the time she was initially the standby for Idina. It was intermission that I just became an instant fan and we knew she was going to be a huge star. 3 weeks later, my mom got this Broadway promotion sample CD of Brooklyn (which was getting ready to go to Broadway). She opened the CD and inside it has Eden's picture in it. We got soooooooooo excited. Listened to the first song on the Sample CD (which was ONCE UPON A TIME). From there, we knew we had to get tickets. Met Eden both times after WICKED and BROOKLYN. She's the sweetest.
I remember hearing this song on a near-daily basis when it was coming to Broadway and they had the commercials for it on TV featuring this song. One of the few that has never gotten old for me- a stunning song, and a stunning performance.
Play video Brooklyn: Has anyone ever read you a fairytale And taken you to places magical Where homes are made of gingerbread and skies are always blue Where pumpkins turn to coaches and wishes all come true Has anyone ever sung you a lullaby? You can fly above the rain clouds Close your eyes Let the melody carry you Leave all your fears behind You can float across a rainbow sky to once upon a time I believed in miracles (once upon a time) I believed love would conquer all (once upon a time) I believed anything was possible And i believed again the moment when I saw you here tonight Now once upon a time has never felt more right (Once upon a time) I believed in miracles (Once upon a time) I believed that love would conquer all I believed anything was possible Once upon a time (we believed in miracles) Once upon a time (we believed that love would conquer all) Oh yes I believed that anything was possible And I believed again the moment when I saw you here tonight Now once upon a time Has never felt more right More Right!
I saw it with the original cast and she was amazing. But shockingly...we walked away saying "Who is that Karen Olivo?" Couldn't take our eyes off of her. Loved the show!
Faz de Conta Alguém já te leu um conto de fadas E te levou para lugares mágicos Onde casas são feitas de pão de mel E os céus sempre estão azuis Onde abóboras viram carruagens e Todos os desejos se realizam? Alguém já te cantou uma canção de ninar? Você pode voar sobre as nuvens de chuva Feche seus olhos Deixe a melodia carregar você Deixe todos os seus medos para trás E flutue pelo céu com arco-íris Para a terra do faz de conta Era uma vez Eu acreditava em milagres Eu acreditava que o amor poderia conquistar tudo Eu acreditava que tudo era possível E eu acreditei de novo no momento em que Eu te vi aqui esta noite Agora, o faz de conta Nunca pareceu tão mais certo Era uma vez Eu acreditava em milagres Eu acreditava que o amor poderia conquistar tudo Eu acreditava que tudo era possível E eu acreditei de novo no momento em que Eu te vi aqui esta noite Agora, o faz de conta Nunca pareceu tão mais certo
