I'm having a hard time in listening to this song due to how high Will Chase set the standards, but not until I heard this version of Arron Tveit. I'm feeling both of their passion and emotions. Both voices are immaculate.
Aaron, Steve Pasquale and Patrick Wilson should band together and call themselves The Three Broadway Gods. Thanks for posting. Aaron has such a remarkable voice. I could listen to him all day...
I was all about Jeremy Jordan playing Chris, and then I saw this. I’ve loved Aaron since I saw him in N2N. He would also be wonderful as Chris. I wouldn’t want to be the casting director choosing between these two for that role. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s a production of Miss Saigon casting anywhere at the moment, and the film’s already been done. 😢
can we not compare him to alistair? this has been alistairs biggest role yet, and aaron has had plenty. other very talented people need attention, too.
I love Aaron! He’s a fave of mine! But I was fortunate enough to see Miss Saigon in NY and see Alistair Brammer as Chris sing Why God Why, and my tears were flowing! Amazing.
Why does Saigon never sleep at night? Why does this girl smell of orange trees? How can I feel good when nothing's right? Why is she cool when there is no breeze? Vietnam You don't give answers, do you friend? Just questions that don't ever end! Why God? Why today? I'm all through here, on my way There's nothing left here that I'll miss Why send me now a night like this? Who's the girl in this rusty bed? Why am I back in a filthy room? Why is her voice ringing in my head? Why am I high on her cheap perfume? Vietnam Hey look, I mean you no offense But why does nothing here make sense? Why God? Show your hand Why can't one guy understand? I've been with girls who knew much more I've never felt confused before! Why me? What's your plan? I can't help her! No one can! I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her! When I went home before no one talked of the war What they knew from t.v Didn't have a thing to do with me I went back and re-upped Sure, Saigon is corrupt It felt better to be here driving for the embassy 'Cos here if you can pull a string A guy like me lives like a king Just as long as you don't believe anything! Why God? Why this face? Why such beauty in this place? I liked my memories as they were But now I'll leave remembering her! Just her!
Whyyyyy. God. Why the stops? Someone help him. Before he flops. Ilikedmymemoryfrombefore Butnowillleaverememberingherrrrrrrrrrruuurr-offtune-errrrrrrr Justherrr.
he also doesn't strike me as a chris... he's too mature and i feel like he couldn't portray chris' innocence and naivety in act one. to each their own, i suppose. i just think its pointless to fancast your favorite actor in your favorite role even if they don't suit it.
I agree with your comment. Aaron has had (and is having) a long and excellent career. Alistair Brammer is the age of the men who would have been sent to fight whilst Aaron is a touch too mature. And, of course, I might be biased because Alistair is English! During lockdown he has been performing in a lot of one man shows outdoors. I wish them all well.
A more credible projection of conflicting emotions as compared to his cocky rendition at Elsie's. Altho he has to cut his hand gestures, it's like he is doing sign language.
