I saw this play about 6 months after my mom died and I cried through probably half of it, but nothing hit me harder than this song did. Lydia's realization that she's not going to find her mom or see her ever again no matter how hard she tries cut me so deep and portrayed an aspect of grief that you really just can't put into words. Then the fact that she continues to address her mom at the end of the song despite that acceptance was so relatable. Miss you mom
@@AvaGravette I completely forgot about this since I commented but thank you so much for the notification because otherwise I wouldn't have known 154 liked my comment. Hope you have a great day :)
she is so good I don't have a word to describe how good she is she is literally perfect for lydia she sounds like a good fit for lydia and also she looks like a good fit for lydia
@@MysteriousGirl10 is there a reason she left? so many of the original cast stayed... :( I've heard that she got fired but idk if these were just rumors or real
@@Davide-zp8yu pretty sure they were just that - rumors. she left to work on tv, but i think she didn‘t exactly leave on GREAT terms, because it was so sudden. but i don‘t think she actually did anything wrong - she seemed to get along well with the cast, just didn‘t spend that much time with them, cause she was always on stage while they were filming videos and stuff
I lost my dad early 2019, and the "I don't wanna forget her. I'm so scared I'm gonna forget her" just broke me. I keep coming back to this clip and a different part of the song stands out more each time throughout the grieving process.
The conversation in the middle with Charles is so powerful to me. I know it wasn't logistically possible, but I really wish they had left it in the cast recording. It's so much more powerful than Lydia just magically deciding she's fine now.
A show this hilarious had no right to do a sudden 180 into pure emotion and vulnerability like the conversation Lydia has with her father. And not only does it land, they get several jokes in at the same exact time! How in hell (or more accurately, the Netherworld) did the stars align to allow something like that to work as well as it does?
As someone who has lost both parents in high school this show broke me its amazing it expresses feelings and emotions I wasn't able to find the words for
so sorry about your parents. i lost mine as well as a baby/1 year old, so i never knew them. this show heal a part of me i didn't know i was holding onto those emotion.
@@callingthepolice because that’s how theatre works. performers have timed contracts, they don’t usually perform for the entire run of the show. especially at sophia & elizabeth’s ages, their voices aren’t developed enough to sustain years and years straight of singing like this every day, so their contracts would be even shorter than older performers
@@ttw162429 Sophia got fired pre-pandemic. When it came back it was with the "next Lydia." Apparently Elizabeth was offered the role but covid happened.
This is my biggest fear rn out into a song, I love my mom so much, she’s my world, mom, friend and I truly don’t know what I would do without her, mama I love you ❤
Beetlejuice the musical had absolutely no business being not only this good , but funny , touching heartwarming all at the same time. It’s so sad that it closed on Broadway, but i’m glad that it’s finding success on the National Tour
God, listening to this on the soundtrack never hits as hard as watching the full scene. The way her voice cracks when she says 'I'm scared I'm gonna forget her...' and then the pride in her face as she turns back to the audience and belts back up to 'I'M GONNA GO BACK HOME'. Incredible.
She’s amazing no one will ever live up to that people will do all these amazing things like save people or make a famous song some people may be famous for some crazy stuff but no one will ever live up to Sofia Ann Caruso’s singing
i lost my grandfather two years ago now almost three and i can relate to this and dead mom so much and just feeling scared that i will forget him bc he isnt here anymore even though he basically raised me and we have so many memories and the feelings just- i dont know how to describe it- i am singing this for a project in my musical theatre class and i hope this will help me heal a bit more
i cried multiple times in this show from Lydia’s pain. but when Charles says “she was my world too” i started sobbing uncontrollably. this show does an excellent job of portraying realistic responses to pain. Lydia throws herself into the macabre and obsesses over death-a fairly normal response from a teenager. Charles focuses too much on moving on and keeping everything inside, which is perfectly normal for a man of his age. Neither understood the depth of the pain the other was experiencing because they just didn’t know how to express it to each other. it took them both literally going to hell to get to that point. the show uses the most unrealistic means to get through to the most real feelings that people experience. i never ever would’ve expected a musical based on Beetlejuice to be this good, but here we are.
i also love the look on Charles’ face just before he says Emily’s name, like he’s in agony but powering through it. he had just said “because it hurts too much” and then moments later you see that he wasn’t lying, it is genuinely hurting him to say her name out loud.
When I saw this, during this song, there was a medical emergency in the audience, and the show was stopped, and when it was ready to start, they skipped this song. So this helps.
I saw this live i think it was this one and omg this was so emotional and her vocals gave me chills it even made me cry. Definitely recommend seeing this such a wonderful experience and performance 👏 ❤️ and who ever reads this you arnt alone i wish you guys all the best and hope you wishes and dreams come true much love to you all and never forget that life can be hard when you lose someone but you just got to get back up and live life the fullest ❤️
I lost my dad in 2014 this show always breaks me but I love it so much! I want to see it in person but our town theatre won’t say if they will ever do it or not
I haven’t lost my mom but I’m very close to her and when I was watching this in irl I was holding back tears so hard my legs were tapping rapidly my mom told me to stop moving and I just smiled and kept holding back tears
I lost one of my dogs when i was 7 and lost one 4 weeks ago and I have to say dead mom and home hit so hard . I haven’t been able to grief because i feel pressure to put on a brave face for my family. Especially the line “ idk which ways home” because i dont even feel like i have a home if they aren’t here. (Also sorry for typing alot i just had to talk about it to someone)
I love her so much she inspires me so much because she is a really awesome singer and I am a singer. I'm pretty good too I want to sing with her so bad
