Billy Porter is literally my Broadway actor....he inspires everyone to themselves....he tells everyone not be afraid to speak up....so I'd say he's more than an actor on Broadway.
You don't want to see me anymore. You can't listen to me laugh out loud. You don't wanna see me dance. You can't even take the chance That it might reflect on you. You missed out on the best part of me. The part that made me who I am today. O, but the best part of me is standing in front of you And loves you anyway. Hold me in your heart till you understand. Hold me in your heart just the way that I am. With all your faults, I love you. Don't give up, on me. I wont give up, on you. Well you took my hand, taught me how to be strong That's where I picked up when we went all wrong. I know that I hurt you, and you hurt me too, But you mean more to me, I must mean more to you. Hold me in your heart till you understand. Hold me in your heart just the way that I am With all your faults I love you. I need you to love me that way too.
+Jo isenbergg I feel the same way, I really hope they'll release a bluray edition some day. It will not remotely be as great as seeing it live (that thrill !) but it's still the next best thing when you cannot (physically, financially) see it.
I love this song so much. I'm actually working security for this show at the OKC Civic Center, & let me tell you guys that the cast are amazing and wonderful. I actually like our Nicola & Lauren's singing more than the album 😂.. But .. it's not even that I'm gay, why half of my family rejects me. But it's still due to things beyond my control. After I found my dad at 13, he died 7 years later... Now they can't even hide how little they want to do with me.. Especially not once my little cousins, once they were born to my uncle. They deserve to be loved and adored, but it hurts to see how they'll do anything just to crowd around them, but never include me. They just don't need me anymore.. I love them and miss them so much, it hurts. Anyway.... It means a lot to have something like this to relate to, & to have the luck I have by getting to take a small part of their production.
Can I just say, Steve Pateman, the real Charlie Price deserves way more credit??? Even though Broadway literally profited off his entire existence and story, he didn’t get a single penny from them. Sadly, unlike the musical, his shoe factory ended up going out of business so he works as a fireman now 😞 He’s a super nice guy too. Even when his factory ran out of business, he made sure his employees were able to find new jobs. However the Broadway musical doesn’t give him any credit or profits for using life his story as a stage show. The only thing they gave him (which they gave begrudgingly) was a Broadway ticket but he couldn’t even afford to go because he didn’t have enough money for a flight and hotel. They won’t let him sell his book at the theaters either nor do they really discuss or credit to the origin and backstory of him and the Northampton factory workers in the playbill. It’s awful that the Broadway musical doesn’t give him enough credit or money for even though they make thousands off his life story. After years of being unnoticed, he finally came out and wrote a book about his life story (and profits go towards firefighters too, he’s such a sweet guy), but he still deserves WAYYY more credit than Broadway gives him, Help this guy out and learn his real story here. JUSTICE FOR STEVE!!!! You can buy his book here: [Boss in Boots: the Real Charlie Price](www.bossinboots.co.uk/) Here are more articles too where you learn about his story: Northampton Chronicle: www.google.com/amp/s/www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/real-story-behind-kinky-boots-will-surprise-you-says-northamptonshire-inspiration-film-and-stage-show-998113%3Famp Express: www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/600025/Kinky-boots-factory-WJ-Brookes/amp BBC: www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-22940451 Fire Bridgades Union: www.fbu.org.uk/blog/you-cant-put-label-anybody #broadway #kinkyboots

This song made me cry when I saw it live
same here
Everyone cried like I’ve never seen it personally but every one cries. Is it worth seeing like on broadway or live?
Me too I ugly cried....Billy Porter's voice is incredible.
@@emilycarey2494 on Broadway
I balled my eyes out during this part
Billy Porter sang this so beautifully live!!
I usually don't sing.
I'm no good at singing.
but this song is the lone exception because Billy Porter is awesome and Lola is the friggin queen.
My dad and I really were lucky enough to work through our problems, and his final words to me were "I love you ❤" I am beyond grateful.
I watched the west end show and it took my breath away. This song made me so emotional
I'm crying why is this entire musical sooooooo relatable
I watched this in West end ! It made me cry 😂 and at the end we kepts clapping and the actor started to cry ! It was so cute
Callum Francis absolutely killed this song when I saw it live in Melbourne, I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe
I bawled when I watched this live.
Billy Porter is literally my Broadway actor....he inspires everyone to themselves....he tells everyone not be afraid to speak up....so I'd say he's more than an actor on Broadway.
"Hello father."
I actually started to cry when I read your comment w h y m u s t t h i s h a p p e n t o m e
You don't want to see me anymore.

That it might reflect on you.
You missed out on the best part of me.
The part that made me who I am today.
O, but the best part of me is standing in front of you
And loves you anyway.
Hold me in your heart till you understand.
Hold me in your heart just the way that I am.
With all your faults, I love you.
Don't give up, on me.
I wont give up, on you.
Well you took my hand, taught me how to be strong
That's where I picked up when we went all wrong.
I know that I hurt you, and you hurt me too,
But you mean more to me, I must mean more to you.
Hold me in your heart till you understand.
Hold me in your heart just the way that I am
With all your faults I love you.
I need you to love me that way too.
This is my favourite song in this musical!!
Song made me sob....i know how the character feels.....
I'm cring😭❤️ I love this song, Billy is Fantastic💕💕
This should have been sung on glee by unique , it seems to fit her well
antwaun allen
Jcjri
I was just thinking that!!
my heart trembles with emotion
I wish I had seen this musical when I was struggling to come to terms with my sexuality...
+Jo isenbergg I feel the same way, I really hope they'll release a bluray edition some day. It will not remotely be as great as seeing it live (that thrill !) but it's still the next best thing when you cannot (physically, financially) see it.
+Kzidjinn actually I just found out that this musical is traveling to my city and I'm going to be seeing it!!!!
Kzidjinn this musical was the best thing I could have watched when I came out. And when I saw it, I cried.
Incredible show!
Bet this would be phenomenal live !!!! And from reading all the other comments it clearly is! Really want to go see it now:)

This song ALWAYS gives me chills 💕
Beautiful!
I love this song so much.
I'm actually working security for this show at the OKC Civic Center, & let me tell you guys that the cast are amazing and wonderful. I actually like our Nicola & Lauren's singing more than the album 😂..
But .. it's not even that I'm gay, why half of my family rejects me.

They just don't need me anymore..
I love them and miss them so much, it hurts.
Anyway....

Jordan fisher sang this at the Alex theater in glendale
Can't wait to sing this song now 👏👏
I’ve never seen Kinky Boots live, so now I’m trying to figure out the plot without dialogue and only music
TheCroisantBun it’s about a shoe maker trying to save his dead fathers business and gets help from a drag queen
Jordan michael Todd's version is outstanding worth a listen
This song is so beautiful and makes me cry every time
J. Harrison Ghee sang it better though. But it's still a beautiful song
kasda oh my god J. Harrison Ghee is a freaking queen I sobbed
This song makes me cry every time I hear it... Bc I am hay and my mom hates it and it's ruined my relationship with my mom
I’m playing Lola In an abridged version Of kinky boots and If it were up to me, this song would be in it
I love u daddy goodbye 😢
Sounds like I have nothing by whitney
I felt that too.
Carlos Skolnick I know right
Carlos Skolnick fun fact: I played in the pit orchestra for this musical. The tempo marking for this song is literally “Whitney Power Ballad”
I'd love to do this song for karaoke

You don't want to see me anymore.
You can't listen to me laugh out loud.
You don't wanna see me dance.
You can't even take the chance
that it might reflect on you.
You missed out on the best part of me.
The part that made me who I am today.
O, but the best part of me is standing in front of you
and loves you anyway.
Hold me In your heart till you understand.
Hold me In your heart just the way that I am.
With all your faults, I love you.
Don't give up on me.
I wont give up on you.
Well you took my hand, taught me how to be strong
That's where I picked up when we went all wrong.
I know that I hurt you, and you hurt me too,
but you mean more to me, I must mean more to you.
Hold me In your heart till you understand.
Hold me In your heart just the way that I am
With all your faults I love you
I need you to love me that way too
Thank you
