Once Upon A Time - The Musical 

Thanks for watching everyone! We had a blast creating this video! Feel free to turn on the captions for the lyrics, and don't forget you can stream this song everywhere!

The original cast should REALLY see this.

Was anyone else waiting for the Dark One to say "dearie" at some stage?

Also, some serious talent in Hook’s actor/singer who is recreating the singing accent of an Irish man using an English-y pirate accent. Props.

I didn't notice this the first time around, but the actress for Regina did an even better job as her than I thought. Because she _sings_ like Lana Parrilla did in the musical episode of the original show. Lana talked about how she pushed her lower register and made every word she sung strain in her throat and have a growl because the Queen was being forced to sing and so she acted like the music was being ripped from her unwillingly. That is so cool that this actress replicated that sound!

Okay but the quality of this is insane. The costumes, the makeup, the sets. This is fantastic!

The cast of Once Upon A Time would be proud. It's less likely, but they should make two more music videos that cover the middle and end of the series.

The way these actors captured, not only the characters voices, but also their expressions and mannerisms. Like Snow White's smiley-eyes and Regina's intense enunciation and finger curls

Why is no one talking about how close they sound to the actors singing like the vocal range and everything like its amazing

Pretty much everyone in this was perfectly placed into roles. Like almost everyone look like the actual actors in some capacity. great song

Even in non-canon Charming and Hook are HOT AF. And Rumple still doesn’t sing 🤣🤣🤣

Love this song. I am still shocked at how identical Regina & Rumple look and sound like the actual actors who played in the show. The guy who plays Killian sounds exactly like the actor too. Well done and keep up the good work on the videos Pattycake.

Everyone taking about rumple and Regina but killian’s actor tho literally sounds exactly like him lmao

The one playing Hook....I can actually hear the character from the show....its amazing. The costumes and sets and props are amazing. So well done.

I love how they captured that the show was just as much about the villains that it is about heroes

Emma: There’s this feeling That I’ve had since before I remember A memory that glows like an ember Of a place or a time and a home I almost see it so close that I could be it It calls to me something from my past Something missing, like a purpose at last It’s a hope inside Even though I’ve tried to run away from it There’s nowhere to hide Snow: There’s a story Of a maiden who lies in a forest, waiting asleep Charming: And a hero With a promise to keep And a vow I’d always find you At last, it’s all behind you Snow: We’ll set things right Charming: No more wars to find Snow and Charming: A happy ending As our kingdoms unite Snow: With our hearts as one Charming: Our new life begun Snow and Charming: In a future that’s as bright as the sun Emma: So I close my eyes And dream of places I’ve been to in my mind Snow: Where the story ends with love Snow and Charming: And broken dreams are left behind Emma: I made a choice to hear my voice A story that is mine Snow and Charming: Even through the darkness I will make my way to find Emma: My once upon a time Regina: There’s a story Of a life that was changed by a child Broken and torn and defiled Stolen happy ending So fragile, I could break it So close that I could take it I’ve paid my price, made my sacrifice Left with nothing But your pain will suffice So I’ll tip the scale and rewrite the tale With a twist where only I will prevail Hook: There’s a story Of a love that was stolen by vengeance By jealousy’s rage Rumple: And a villain Left to rot in a cage Hook: A coward using magic Rumple: A life cut short, how tragic Regina: I will make her pay Hook: He will curse the day Regina and Hook: That he/she robbed me Took my future away Regina: Now the time has come Now the wait is done Rumple: It’s a journey that we’ve only begun (laughing) Hook: So I’ll chart a course and sail for places That I have yet to find Regina: A place where the only happy endings will be mine Hook: To leave behind a life confined Rumple: By love and loss intertwined Regina: Only in the darkness can you change your fate defined By once upon a time Snow: A choice that we made Charming: A curse we will break Regina: Robbed of their memories Without an escape Rumple: A line that’s been drawn Hook: To rewrite a wrong Emma: I know there’s a place somewhere that i belong When I close my eyes I dream of places That I have yet to find Regina: A place where the only happy endings will be mine Hook: I made a vow Rumple: What happens now Snow and Charming: Our story changed somehow Hook, Rumple and Regina: Only in the darkness can you leave your fate defined Snow and Charming: Even through the darkness I will make my way to find Emma: My once upon a time

I would pay Broadway prices to see a full show of this. The cast was absolutely brilliant and so talented! And those costumes/sets/props/effects? Sooooooo good!

I thought the Dark One would rather gauge his eyes out with a rusty fork than sing.

OH MY GOSH. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PERFECT. THE SONG. THE ACTORS. THE COSTUMES THE SETS THE CASTING!!!! LIKE HOOK IS SPOT ON AND SO IS REGINA, AND RUMPLE LEFT ME SHOOK. OH MY GOSHHHHHHHH

Whoever composed this song's instrumental is a genius.

I love that line "Only in the darkness can you leave your life defined" because it took the individual darknesses of each character that were able to find their true selves and truly live in their Once Upon a Time. Clever song writing!

The person who played Regina here also played the evil queen in the Villains Lair u guys also make

How is no one talking about Hook? Even his voice sounds similar

OUAT is a masterpiece and who says otherwise I'll destroy their happiness...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="204">3:24</a> "Only in the darkness, can you change your fate defined by Once Upon a Time." This is a really powerful line, because it really goes to show how Regina didn't want to be the villain or the Evil Queen, but that what happened between her and Snow White was always destined to happen, so she was always destined by fate to become the evil queen. And this line is her being self aware that she is the villain and was fated to be the villain, and that she can only change her fate by being evil, and giving herself her happy ending by force. She doesn't want to do all of this, but if fate wants her to be the villain and have a bad ending, then the only way to change that is by taking action, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD RUMPLES ACTOR ISSS

How the hell do you make the actors so alike to the main characters it’s amazing!! Is there something im missing how does this RU-vid channel not have as many subs as it deserves. Some channels on RU-vid don’t work very hard and has only 1 million subscribers and this channel doesn’t even have that when they deserve over that

Its 2023 and i can't stop watching this

Okay but how in the world did they get the scenery, costumes, and props all so perfect???

I’m blown away by this. As a die hard ouat fan I can’t believe how spot on the costumes are and the original song is so creative and catchy. Amazing job I love this.

And here I was thinking the Dark One didn't sing. But seriously now, this is a great tribute to the greatest seven seasons of Disney magic that aired on ABC. Twists from beginning to end, great character evolutions and a wonderful homage to both the brothers Grimm and Walt Disney. What a terrific time I had watching the original show, meeting its cast at cons and just dreaming away to the stories I remember from childhood. Thanks, ABC & Disney. And of course, thanks PattyCake.

It really hould have ended with Emma opening door to Henry at it ending 'Hi I'm Henry, I'm your son.'

Those costumes were spot on. Like seriously I would be surprised if they were real cast’s outfis

Lyrics Emma: There’s this feeling, that I’ve had since before I remember A memory that glows like an ember Of a place or a time and a home I almost see it so close that I could be it It calls to me, something from my past, something missing... like a purpose at last It’s a hope inside even though I’ve tried to run away from it there’s no where to hide Snow: There’s a story, of a maiden who lies in a forest, waiting asleep Charming: And a hero, with a promise to keep and a vow I’d always find you at last, it’s all behind you Snow: To set things right Charming: No more wars to fight Snow & Charming: A happy ending, as our kingdoms unite Snow: With our hearts as one Charming: Our new life begun Snow & Charming: In a future that’s as bright as the sun Emma: So I close my eyes and dream of places I’ve been to in my mind Snow & Charming: Where the story ends with love and broken dreams are left behind Emma: I made a choice to hear my voice, a story that is mine Snow & Charming: Even through the darkness, I will make my way to find... Emma: My Once Upon A Time... Regina: There’s a story, of a life that was changed by a child, Broken, and torn and defiled Stolen happy ending so fragile, I could break it so close, that I could take it I’ve paid my price, made my sacrifice Left with nothing! But your pain will suffice Now I’ll tip the scale and rewrite the tale with a twist where only I will prevail... Hook: There’s a story, of a love that was stolen by vengeance, by jealousy’s rage Rumple: ...And a villain! Left to rot in a cage Hook: A coward using magic Rumple: A life cut short, how tragic! Regina: I will make her pay! Hook: He will curse the day! Regina & Hook: That s/he robbed me, took my future away Regina: Now the time has come, now the wait is done Rumple: It’s a journey that we’ve only begun, ... Hehehe! Hook: So I’ll chart a course, and sail for places that I have yet to find Regina: A place where the only happy endings will be mine! Hook: To leave behind a life confined Rumple: By love and loss intertwined! Regina: Only in the darkness can you change your fate defined, By Once Upon A Time Snow: A choice that we made Charming: A curse we will break Regina: Robbed of their memories without an escape Rumple: A line that’s been drawn Hook: To rewrite a wrong Emma: I know there’s a place somewhere that I belong! ...When I close my eyes, I dream of places that I have yet to find... Regina: A place where the only happy endings will be mine! Hook: I made a vow Rumple: What happens now? Snow & Charming: Our story changed somehow All: Only in the darkness can you leave your life defined Rumple: ...Mwhmmhmm! All: Even through the darkness, I will make my way to find... Emma: My Once Upon A Time...

Killian's actor sounds a lot like Collin

Oh my God, the girl playing Regina is so ON POINT I LOVE IT!! The guy playing Rumple did a marvelous job getting his voice down right, too, holy cow 😍😍

Oh. My. God. Please, give me more of the guy who plays Killian. He is absolutely perfect, I want more of his voice! I'm begging you!!!

Rumple would rather "gouge his eyes out with a rusty fork" then sing lmao

They missed the opportunity to have a Henry chasing after Emma. Edit: thanks for all the likes.

OMG The casts and the scene looks really like in the series!!! There were TIMES that i thought they were the real casts (and shooting locations!!)!!

Most underrated show..This show was brilliant 🌟 10/10

Me: *has been re visiting Once Upon a Time for the past week* RU-vid: *recommends this* Me: How did RU-vid know???

Just one thing: the Dark One doesn't sing. He would rather gouge his eyes out with a rusty fork. Edit: Sorry I got the line wrong, but it means basically the same thing. Before, it was "get", but it's "gouge".

Ok but that rumple really sounds like rumple

I was listening to songs from the musical episode of OUAT, and when this came on I thought "Wait, the cast recorded another song? How didn't I know about this!" It's crazy how similar they sound to their counterpart. Well done! 😍👏👌

The Dark one doesn't sing he would rather gauge his eyes out with a rusty fork

The woman who plays Regina really does have her tone down

Imagine if the cast of OUAT recreated this! I would die to see that happen

Imagine someone just just wanted to go for a walk and then they just walk by two people with costumes screaming to each other💀

“The Dark One doesn’t sing, dearie. I’d rather pick out me eye with a rusty fork.”

I just realized there was no henry here ITS STILL AMAZING IDC

Please give us a sequel!! There is so much hope in this video. It's magical

In my opinion, the actor who plays Hook, has the closest voise to original character. Sorry for my English, kisses from Poland😍

Glad us Oncers are still out here. Once a Oncer always a Oncer. 💜😋⚔️🛡

Rumpelstilskin is just the best, such a good look

the song itself was sooo magical and the evil queen, maaaannn i like her even more here , im stanning her now

OUAT was my escape for 5 years... I loved each and every characters.. and the online fan community were superb

I really miss once upon a time 😩

Its amazing who close the singer's look line the people who played those roles! Do more of this story. I would love to see the whole show in musical form. :D

omg this is so incredible! congrats you guys! i'm so surprised, it's really amazing. i'm missing ouat so much right now 😭😭

This was SO amazing

The person playing snow sounds EXACTLY LIKE SNOW ON THE SHOW

Even though he's singers do not sound the same as the original one from the actual show I still really like it

I'm new to the series but this is INSANE! the amount of talent that's put into this and the other projects your team did, it's amazing! You all have buckets and buckets of talent

I've been watching it a thousand times and I really am in love with your Rumplestiltskin He acts perfectly the same as the real one

Dear lord the *dark one is singing* .......

If Henry had been in this, Regina would have been 75% less evil... I still miss seeing him, but this is so well done otherwise!!

I have no words!!!!! This is amazing! The actors look and sound like the original cast!!! You can tell so much work went into this!!! Amazing!!

I miss this show so much!

That was really good. I really miss Once Upon A Time.

I loved that Rumple didn’t sing, in keeping with his character. “I‘d rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty fork!” #onceuponapatty

You guys should make another one!

I would like to thank Pattycake Productions for this video. Because of this video I binged watched all 7 season of Once Upon A Time from beginning to end. I loved the entire show. (except the last season)

A great job by all but to me Michelle was the most outstanding in her performance of the Queen. The movements and expressions were spot-on.

Can we just take a second to talk about these costumes? THEY ARE PERFECT! Oh, but the Dark One doesn't sing ;)

Thank you Spotify for suggesting the song, it made me want to check out the video. The cast in this are incredible and the costumes are perfection.

Wowww this is spot on! All the actors were REALLY good! Especially Rumple and Killian like wow. And the COSTUMES omg! Bro SPOT ON

Is it just me or does the lady playing Snow White sound almost exactly like her?

OUAT is my favorite show, I'm soooooo excited 💜💜🤧

Oh once upon a time…. The show where every villain gets a redemption story

I am absolutely obsessed with this song 🤩. Costumes are so accurate along with the actors. Regina's voice is stunning 😍. Amazing voices all round!

All we missing is Henry rapping maybe in the middle or something. Idk seems cool to me

Fun fact: The woman playing Regina plays the Evil Queen in the other ones.

Oh, my God. This is fantastic, Mr. Gold/Rumple's voice is on point.

I hope y’all understand how epic this is… I always come back to listen to this when my inner Theatre-Kid gets excited lol❤

This was amazing!! The way you find all of these people who are crazy talented and look so much like the characters!! Love y'all!! Kings and Queens! All of them!

Why is no one talking about how Henry isn’t in this?

Ya know the thing I love most about your films is that the characters looks like the original it's just nostalgic it looks like the actors them selfs especially captain hook.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS SO GOOD IM DYING!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My fav show that’s it I’m staying up late

THIS IS EPIC, now, Who wants some Tangled the series musical!!!!?!

One year later. I see this Video again and it fill my heart with happiness again and again. The Voices are so great. All is taking Hand in Hand. Please don't let stop this feeling, that you bring with this Video to all of us.

Such an AMAZING song and film! Really beautiful music and well done!

The girl playing Regina looks more exactly like her compared to Lana's double

Dear lord *Rumpelstiltskin* ,the very dark one himself is fricking singing, *SINGING*

COMING BACK TO THIS AFTER A YEAR OH MY GOD ITS STILL GOOD THE PERSON WHO PLAYS THE EVIL QUEEN IN THIS THEIR VOICE AMAZING

The costumes look like they were borrowed from the actual set. Wow love everything about this ❤️ Miss this show so much Edit after reading the description : Tony Wakim 2 thumbs up 👍👍. The costumes are on point and really brought this to another level for me. So authentic and beautifully done !!!! Of course also all the talented singers etc but for some reason the costumes really impressed me ! Love this would love to see more 😍

This was amazing , I think they captured each character very well and the singing voices where phenomenal

This is good. Lol so much for the dark one not singing Mr. "I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a rusty fork." 😂🤣

What a great song for the show. It's been a while since the show has ended.
