Honestly, you could easily make the singer Stalin, and change a few lyrics so that he's Gleb's boss, with a mission to get Anastasia (whether or not it's actually her is irrelevant) or get shot. Because it's Stalin. So they absolutely could get the song in there
As a kid, I couldn't help but mishear the lyric, 'I was once the most invincible man in all Russia!!!..' but, instead it's, 'I was once the most mystical man in all Russia!!!..'
Ben Edquist loved you here! He was so phenomenal when I saw him as Gleb in Anastasia. I immediately had goosebumps and in my head casted him as Javert in Les Mis for the next role I want to see him in.
OH my gosh!!! Thank you Willem and to everyone who made this possible, this is amazing! Ben Edquist sounds so good!! Everyone is phenomenal, i love this, I'm playing it on repeat!
I have recently watched the entirety of Anastasia for the first time since childhood and my only critique is that there is a lack of electric guitar emphasizing the "find her" part of the song. aside from that this is absolutely perfect.
i felt a lot of passion in your singing .. loveing your performance even if it felt a little "proper" if that be a word to use but i love the conviction in your wordings and i felt a vilin was in plotting
0:25 I was the most powerful man in all Westeros. When the Starks betrayed me they made a mistake. The Lannisters made each of them killed, but lady Sansa got away. Little Dany beware Hail HYDRA'S awake. Original edit: 6/19/2015
In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be It scared me out of my wits A corpse falling to bits! Then I opened my eyes And the nightmare was, me I was once the most mystical man in all Russia When the royals betrayed me they mad a mistake My curse made each of them pay But one little girl got away Little Anya, beware Rasputin's awake In the dark of the night evil will find her In the dark of the night just before dawn! Revenge will be sweet When the curse is complete In the dark of the night She'll be gone I can feel that my powers are slowly returning Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell As the Pieces fall into place I'll see her crawl into place Do Svidaniya, Anya, Your Grace Farewell In the dark of the night terror will strike her! Terror's the least I can do! In the dark of the night evil will brew. Soon she will feel that her nightmares are real. In the dark of the night She'll be through! In the dark of the night Evil will find her Find her! Ooh! In the dark of the night terror comes true. Doom her! My dear, here's a sign It's the end of the line In the dark of the night In the dark of the night In the dark of the night Come my minions Rise for your master Let your evil shine Find her now Yes, fly ever faster In the dark of the night In the dark of the night In the dark of the night She'll be mine!
I personally like that they cut Rasputin from the musical, but I do love this recording! (granted, i didn't watch anastasia until very recently, so i don't have a nostalgic attachment to the character. but from a story standpoint, it makes more sense to cut rasputin)
Sure it wouldn't jive with the rest of the plot, and sure it'd be counted as slander against an (albeit) weirdly immortal Hedonist... But I don't think anyone would have minded this song being in the musical (not even the actual Rasputin 😆 )
This is such a perfect song for theatre I’m so sad they didn’t include it in the stage production ☹️
Did Gleb-sputin just clear my skin, do my taxes, and fold my laundry? This was everything I ever wanted
He has a great villain voice
This is what we could have had in the Broadway show...we were robbed!
the vocals in this are pure magic
"Come my minions... Ride for Rohan, sorry, I mean, ride for your master...!!!"
🤣🤣🤣
🍻 Hail!
I still can’t believe they didn’t include this in the musical! Yes they got rid of Rasputin but could easily write this in
They included some of the melody in “Stay, I Pray You”
Im sorry, did you say they got rid of Rasputin?
Honestly, you could easily make the singer Stalin, and change a few lyrics so that he's Gleb's boss, with a mission to get Anastasia (whether or not it's actually her is irrelevant) or get shot. Because it's Stalin.
So they absolutely could get the song in there
It'd need some lyrical adjustments and would likely change Gleb's vibe significantly.
@@K9TheFirst1 I think you mean Lenin as it was him that led the Revolution against the Romanovs.
I need Ben to post a recording of all of his songs in the show. He is so amazingly talented! Best Gleb right there.
i may have posted boot legs...
@@benedquistbaritone Ah, I am so excited! :) Yay!
As a kid, I couldn't help but mishear the lyric, 'I was once the most invincible man in all Russia!!!..' but, instead it's, 'I was once the most mystical man in all Russia!!!..'

I was just about to comment this! His voice is 1000% Javert to me. Absolute perfection.
Good job bro you did it ❤❤❤❤ thank you
Fun! One of the best villain songs. Great job! Ben is a talent for sure. A bit of Ramin Karimloo, perhaps? Loved it all.
Out of all the anastasia songs this one was my favorite. But mother always skipped the song when i was a kid.
Holy frock this was the best accident villain music binge! please do Hellfire next!
OH my gosh!!! Thank you Willem and to everyone who made this possible, this is amazing! Ben Edquist sounds so good!! Everyone is phenomenal, i love this, I'm playing it on repeat!
This is absolutely incredible. Not just technically superb singing but the musicality, colour and acting in the voice is beautiful!
Chills! Just pure chills!
wait a broadway singer singing my favorite villain song? oh my gosh! o.o
That was AMAZING and I love seeing everyone's expressions, esp the other members trying not to laugh XD Way to lean into the PASSION sir!

I have recently watched the entirety of Anastasia for the first time since childhood and my only critique is that there is a lack of electric guitar emphasizing the "find her" part of the song. aside from that this is absolutely perfect.
Well now then..... fantastic!
such an underrated song for such an underrated movie
This song is so dark & could have been legitimately scary. I wish they'd gone that route in the movie!
YES KAITLYN JACKSONNNN 👏👏
Well done! Absolutely loved this 😊😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YESSS!!
Oh my gosh!!! Just amazing ! Every one of you!!!!
1:20 Fareweeeeeell❤❤❤

" Doooom her !"
i felt a lot of passion in your singing .. loveing your performance even if it felt a little "proper" if that be a word to use but i love the conviction in your wordings and i felt a vilin was in plotting
Simply AMAZING! 💜💜💜💜💜 Such a wonderful work.
I needed this in my life ❤️
Clap clap clap
So, maybe it's just me and the fact that I have been re-watching OUAT, but I think he kinda looks like Killian Jones! 😁
You should post a video of you performing my Petersburg!!!!!
George Hearns vibes 🎉🎉🎉
Saw you today in Delaware. You were insane. Entirely impressed and gifted.
Go on tour again. Please

In the dark of the night I was tossing and turning
And the nightmare I had was as bad as can be
It scared me out of my wits
A corpse falling to bits!
Then I opened my eyes
And the nightmare was, me
I was once the most mystical man in all Russia
When the royals betrayed me they mad a mistake
My curse made each of them pay
But one little girl got away
Little Anya, beware
Rasputin's awake
In the dark of the night evil will find her
In the dark of the night just before dawn!
Revenge will be sweet
When the curse is complete
In the dark of the night
She'll be gone
I can feel that my powers are slowly returning
Tie my sash and a dash of cologne for that smell
As the Pieces fall into place
I'll see her crawl into place
Do Svidaniya, Anya, Your Grace
Farewell
In the dark of the night terror will strike her!
Terror's the least I can do!
In the dark of the night evil will brew.
Soon she will feel that her nightmares are real.
In the dark of the night
She'll be through!
In the dark of the night
Evil will find her
Find her!
Ooh!
In the dark of the night terror comes true.
Doom her!
My dear, here's a sign
It's the end of the line
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
Come my minions
Rise for your master
Let your evil shine
Find her now
Yes, fly ever faster
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
In the dark of the night
She'll be mine!
This is so good! Is it too much to ask for a live action movie version with this cast?
I personally like that they cut Rasputin from the musical, but I do love this recording!
(granted, i didn't watch anastasia until very recently, so i don't have a nostalgic attachment to the character. but from a story standpoint, it makes more sense to cut rasputin)
😎
😍😍
Would love to hear Hellfire
I want him to do be prepared
wow, way better than the movie
😎👍
🎉🎉🎉🎉
😮😮
What an upbeat song about kidnapping a woman lol
And now we know why the Air Force is the best branch in the US military.
😂
Super disappointed this isn’t in the Broadway adaptation v.v
In the dark of the night... Four frightened Roma slid silently under the docks near Notre Dame.
They should have Rasputin on stage or love action film someday
Amazing voice.
But I hear Phantom from musical "the phantom of the opera". Try any phantom parts from musocal "The phantom of the opera".
Sure it wouldn't jive with the rest of the plot, and sure it'd be counted as slander against an (albeit) weirdly immortal Hedonist... But I don't think anyone would have minded this song being in the musical (not even the actual Rasputin 😆 )
👏
Why did they take this song out of the musical
Sounds like Loki or Shang Tsung singing this song
In The Dark of the Night>>>>>>Stay, I Pray You ^_^
This song is to good, that’s why it got cut from the stage version
When you don't give a s**t about you appearance.
Messy bun, green hat. It's just voice work!
Ben, can you sing pop songs
Replace Ania with Ukraine and it's like Fachs' Putin sung it.
Everyone just feels flat, non real emotion or getting into it at all. Why even bother?
Why do we do anything in life
@@WillemButler Views or money?
@@WillemButlerthis is fantastic great job 👍.
