@@daydreamings prolly because DEH was a bit more timely than great comet at that time, also because it was original and wasn't based on anything, plus teenagers (large part of the theatre community), also these teenagers prolly know Ben Platt more and certain people find it more relatable, also it has been long since they've done another Broadway musical that focus on mental health stuff (also again, teenagers) plus some find the projections and stuff innovative, etc. etc.
@@azlexelsfierysnowflakes8363 Why worry? 50 years is not the end of life. A lot of people look and feel young at this age. But in the old days, it was considered an old age.
If he was to go back on Broadway soon, I'd like to see him as the Beast in the upcoming revival of "Beauty and the Beast"... or a revival of "The Great Comet". Whichever comes first.
Except for the fact that as Pierre he also wears the fatsuit, (which is completely different from the other one he wears in the video) and his hair and beard are all messed up.
@@ginafrontino9236 I love Josh very much too. He's one of my favorite singers. But a beard doesn't suit him. It looks good as Pierre, but why did he decide to keep it. He looks older with a beard, and the beard hides the shape of his face. He has a beautiful face without a beard.
He was so incredible in this. He really should have won that Tony. I'd love to see him play Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. If his vocals and acting in this are any indication, he'd slay it.
They forgot to include the deafening roar of applause at the end.. but dayum at 5:55 too you can see that great muscle of a voice box in his throat. There's so much expression and talent in this song gah it just makes me choke trying to explain how good it is in words.
I'm a fan of War and Peace, I've read it many times since 1983, and I believe Josh is a wonderful Pierre. I was able to see the play on Merch 15th and it was a memorable experience.
He's not really a pop singer. He sings in the classic crossover genre. It's something between pop and opera. I love this genre, and Josh is also a good actor in a musical. I wish he got more roles in musicals. Watch the musical "Chess" with his participation, Indina Menzel also played there. It's brilliant!
I agree. But I do love drunk Dave Malloy, the old version of the duel is the best by far "hHhdvOdka and WinE arE DanGerous fOr me" "sO I ShOuLd Be KiLled-"
Your vocals are just honestly ridiculously next level, no one can reach this standard, God like GOLD!!! Thank you for this beautiful visionary aid to the wonderful vision your vocals already paint 😇!!!
ejano Crowsnatcher I agree and my cousins got the tickets to take me to see Josh Groban as Pierre in The Great Comet (found out this past Tuesday) no idea when I'm going but I'm just excited to finally get the chance to see Josh Groban and hoping to meet him
If you attend a night performance or a Sunday matinee, go to the Stage Door. Josh always comes out and signs autographs, he is very sweet and chats with everyone. If you go to a matinee on a 2 show day (Wednesday or Saturday), he doesn't come out between shows, but you can always come back and stake out a great place at the stage door following any evening performance.
There's quite a contrast in the early studio performance video and the actual stage performance after Josh had more experience with the role. It's interesting to see that.
LETRAS Is this how I die? Ridiculed and laughed at Wearing clown shoes Is this how I die? Furious and reckless Sick with booze How did I live? I taste every wasted minute Every time I turned away From the things that might have healed me How long have I been sleeping? Is this how I die? Frightened like a child Lazy and numb Is this how I die? Pretending and preposterous And dumb How did I live? Was I kind enough and good enough? Did I love enough? Did I ever look up and see the moon and the stars and the sky? Oh, why have I been sleeping? They say we are asleep until we fall in love We are children of dust and ashes But when we fall in love we wake up And we are a god and angels weep But if I die here tonight, I die in my sleep. All of my life I spent searching the words of poets and saints and prophets and kings Now at the end all I know that I've learned is that all that I know is I don't know a thing So easy to close off Place the blame outside Hiding in my room at night So terrified All the things I could've been But I never had the nerve Life and love, I don't deserve So alright! Alright! I've had my time Close my eyes Let the death bells chime! Bury me in burgundy I just don't care! Nothing's left I looked everywhere! Is this how I die? Was there ever any other way my life could be? Is this how I die? Such a slough of feelings inside of me But then why am I screaming? Why am I shaking? Oh god, was there something that I missed? Did I squander my divinity? Was happiness within me the whole time? They say we are asleep until we fall in love We are children of dust and ashes But when we fall in love we wake up And we are a god and angles weep But if I die here tonight, I die in my sleep. They say we are asleep until we fall in love And I'm so ready To wake up now I wanna wake up Don't let me die while I'm like this I wanna wake up God, don't let me die while I'm like this Please let me wake up now God, don't let me die while I'm like this I'm ready I'm ready To wake up
Is this how I die? Crying my eyes out while watching all the videos on the Great Comet UA-cam channel without ad blocker so that they get at least some money so they don't close while I think of what else I can do?
LOVE. THIS. SONG. And I think what makes it even greater is not so much that Josh Groban is that man singing it--it's more that his voice is a bit rougher here than it is on his CDs. This may sound weird to say, but I have to be in the mood to listen to Groban because his voice is almost /too/ perfect. I really like this rougher edge to his voice here, which makes me so glad I got to see him in the role this spring ^_^
I’m not a huge fan of Josh Groban, though I think he is one of the best singers on earth. Sometimes I don’t like his versions of famous songs. But here, in that song, the word perfection has reached its true meaning. It’s absolutely breath taking. Bravo !
OMG!! The best, the best!! I got to see this live!! You are so talented Josh..I'm always brought to tears as I have watched you grow, your so blessed!!! Provo my favorite singer, song writer, musician, actor.... thankful I found you..Thankful there is youtube!.God Bless U
I disagree. He sounds BETTER live! In this, and every other venue I've seen him in. Which is only a handful - I'm a piker compared to true Grobanites - but having this man's true voice in front of you is an experience akin to no other.
This song literally gives me life and is the reason I will forever love this musical. Among another million reasons. So sad to see it leave and I never got to see it. Goodbye my Gypsy Lovers.
just performed this in the higher octave on my last performance from my youth conservatory. incredible song, incredibly inspiring lyrics, incredible voice and acting to aspire and inspire.
Oh mh god! I am soooook happy with this video.... Love it so much! Josh is so incredible.. And the way he acts through the song!! Heavenly... Soulful! and genuine.. What a great voice
I'll never understand why the producers keep paying so much money for badly edited videos. The footage is beautiful but, dear God, hire a company that actually understands how to edit something into a cohesive package.
#savegreatcomet the first show on Broadway that I took my 11 yo aspiring musical theater actor to. If this show closes early, the devastation will be too much to handle
I still tear up when I hear this song. The best play ever, full of fun, sadness, and great acting. I wish it was still in production, I would travel to NY to see it again. Josh was phenomenal and replacing him would be hard, as it was proven. The COMET is coming again.

This song and Burr's "Wait for It" are my fave songs in the Existential Crisis playlist.
Germae Anne you should add "I Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind" from Spring Awakening
You forgot "Michael in the Bathroom"
Black Light that's not exactly "existential crisis", it's more like Panic Attack or something like that. They're different.
Oak did a mashup of the two. Look it up.
Listen to the entire Next To Normal sound track.

we're so lucky to live at the same time as the ICONIC josh groban
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now
I agree Josh is so amazing and I love him
We also have Lin Manuel Fabulous Cinnamon Roll Majestic Miranda
I love how the dialog made me think Pierre was in his 50s when he's fucking 27.
WHAT. WHAT. WHAT. So he's... Having just an ongoing crisis instead of a proper midlife crisis?
Finally, someone who realizes that Pierre is not an old man, in the original novel.
I was so worried he was like 50 thank god
In Russian years that's middle aged
@@azlexelsfierysnowflakes8363 Why worry? 50 years is not the end of life. A lot of people look and feel young at this age. But in the old days, it was considered an old age.
This performance cleared my skin and gave me a reason to live
The still, underrated, Josh Groban. He is stupendous, both as a singer and actor.
stevienicked yup and he is so amazing and living his dreams
If he was to go back on Broadway soon, I'd like to see him as the Beast in the upcoming revival of "Beauty and the Beast"... or a revival of "The Great Comet". Whichever comes first.
And musician
@@KingdomHeartsFan3211 Well, I bet someone was really happy with the new Beauty and the Beast last year😂You called it!
If I die here tonight, I die happy that I lived long enough to hear and watch Josh Groban sing. Thank you, God.
Chris b I agree I love Josh Groban he is amazing and love his performance
When he has the Clark Kent effect.
With glasses: Pierre.
Without glasses: Josh Groban ❤❤
Samantha Castillo Josh wears glasses too.

I actually just had that thought the other day!!! He is definitely in my dream Les mis cast.
Josh does right for Pierre. I feel his emotional interpretation is very fine and very convincing in addition to his golden voice.
Fan Mac I agree he is amazing
They forgot to include the deafening roar of applause at the end.. but dayum at 5:55 too you can see that great muscle of a voice box in his throat. There's so much expression and talent in this song gah it just makes me choke trying to explain how good it is in words.
Pierre do not take out your glasses. Your Josh is showing
This is the cutest comment. Idk why though 😅
I'm a fan of War and Peace, I've read it many times since 1983, and I believe Josh is a wonderful Pierre. I was able to see the play on Merch 15th and it was a memorable experience.
You're lucky; it's usually hard to find good seats for any performance in Merch.
Josh would be the Perfect "Phantom of the Opera" !!!!!!!!!!! He's the greatest !!!!!!!!!!!
Amanda Helton Josh is above doing shows like that.
Amanda Helton He did a duet with Kelly Clarkson on a song from POTO
Avadno Saile what do you mean ‘shows like that’ ?
Vre Vre they are probably implying that phantom isn’t very good
I feel that with this, Josh Groban went from being a great pop singer to being a great singing actor.
He's not really a pop singer. He sings in the classic crossover genre. It's something between pop and opera. I love this genre, and Josh is also a good actor in a musical. I wish he got more roles in musicals. Watch the musical "Chess" with his participation, Indina Menzel also played there. It's brilliant!
Josh captures the tormented pierre I just didn't get from Dave. I love this so much.
Cast Boy! I agree
I agree. But I do love drunk Dave Malloy, the old version of the duel is the best by far
"hHhdvOdka and WinE arE DanGerous fOr me"
"sO I ShOuLd Be KiLled-"
@@beatricethetheatregeek8604 Thanks for inspiring me to listen to the old version again today I had forgotten about that 😅
Oak did great on that too
If I die here tonight I die in... happiness? Because this is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful?
I agree - apart from the question marks - I would make exclamation marks!
Josh, just take my heart. It's all yours.
This is legitimately beautiful.
Karessa Josh Groban takes my 💖 too
Video editing is my passion
I could write an essay on how much I love this song
god i hope dave and oak sing this because it adds SO MUCH CHARACTER TO PIERRE and josh kills it
Sydney Reynolds 100% Josh Groban killed it as Pierre
THAT FREAKING ACCIDENTAL AT 3:20 GETS ME EVERY TIME
I so want great comet to come back to stage
5:07-5:23 - literally the sweetest spot of the 2017 Tony season.
Your vocals are just honestly ridiculously next level, no one can reach this standard, God like GOLD!!! Thank you for this beautiful visionary aid to the wonderful vision your vocals already paint 😇!!!

LETRAS
Is this how I die?
Ridiculed and laughed at
Wearing clown shoes
Is this how I die?
Furious and reckless
Sick with booze
How did I live?
I taste every wasted minute
Every time I turned away
From the things that might have healed me
How long have I been sleeping?
Is this how I die?
Frightened like a child
Lazy and numb
Is this how I die?
Pretending and preposterous
And dumb
How did I live?
Was I kind enough and good enough?
Did I love enough?
Did I ever look up and see the moon and the stars and the sky?
Oh, why have I been sleeping?
They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight,
I die in my sleep.
All of my life I spent searching the words of poets and saints and prophets and kings
Now at the end all I know that I've learned is that all that I know is I don't know a thing
So easy to close off
Place the blame outside
Hiding in my room at night
So terrified
All the things I could've been
But I never had the nerve
Life and love, I don't deserve
So alright!
Alright!
I've had my time
Close my eyes
Let the death bells chime!
Bury me in burgundy
I just don't care!
Nothing's left
I looked everywhere!
Is this how I die?
Was there ever any other way my life could be?
Is this how I die?
Such a slough of feelings inside of me
But then why am I screaming?
Why am I shaking?
Oh god, was there something that I missed?
Did I squander my divinity?
Was happiness within me the whole time?
They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angles weep
But if I die here tonight,
I die in my sleep.
They say we are asleep until we fall in love
And I'm so ready
To wake up now
I wanna wake up
Don't let me die while I'm like this
I wanna wake up
God, don't let me die while I'm like this
Please let me wake up now
God, don't let me die while I'm like this
I'm ready
I'm ready
To wake up
Josh living his dream and a Tony nomination too - good luck at the awards Josh you so deserve it
This song opened another level in my emotions and I can't take it
you so need a love button for that one😘
I REFUSE to comprehend that someone’s voice can actually be this perfect...

Oh my god yes!!!! He's killing it!!! Slay it JoshB
That one dislike is definitely Hélène...or Anatole.
MrBandity: its def dolokhov, pierre sings this after shooting him lmao
Hahaha true! But now there are five dislikes...how?!
8! They know nothing -.-
anatole is pretty chummy chummy with Pierre tho. So basically Helene or Dolokhov
It's up to 15, that's a Prologue and a half of characters.
this amazing I love this Josh Groban is amazing as Pierre thank you Great Comet Bway for posting this
Amazing!!! A great singer and a great actor
Oh, Josh, you are so wonderful in anything you do.............Sing, Baby, Sing.
OMG!! The best, the best!! I got to see this live!! You are so talented Josh..I'm always brought to tears as I have watched you grow, your so blessed!!! Provo my favorite singer, song writer, musician, actor.... thankful I found you..Thankful there is youtube!.God Bless U

twinWeirdmageddons I feel that on a spiritual level
I too would die for Pierre.
I think we would all die for Pierre

This was such a fantastic performance by Josh Groban, such talent. The music was outstanding and the lyrics make your heart want to break.
Love this version this song. Sad, longing for love but, fearful but hopeful
A modern standard. Well done Dave for writing and Josh for performing.
he sounds the SAME LIVE
I disagree. He sounds BETTER live! In this, and every other venue I've seen him in. Which is only a handful - I'm a piker compared to true Grobanites - but having this man's true voice in front of you is an experience akin to no other.

Goodbye my Gypsy Lovers.
I always cry so hard whenever I listen to this... Maybe because I'm suffering from depression.
Joshie, wow. You should use this as your cry to god. He hears you.
I've been falling in love with way to many people's voices as of late
daveed diggs
Eric William moris
George Salazar
and now this guy....
I've like almost everything he's ever done, his voice is exquisite. But this is the first one I've heard that really shows his baritone greatness.
It's 2020 and I'm still sobbing over this show
33 more days until i see this show :')) im so excited. love from texas xoxoxo
Wonderful! Really touching and beautiful
just performed this in the higher octave on my last performance from my youth conservatory. incredible song, incredibly inspiring lyrics, incredible voice and acting to aspire and inspire.
Just saw him as Sweeney Todd this afternoon… sensational in Comet and Sweeney…. both Tony worthy performances… maybe this time around 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh my! Such an awesome song! Love his voice and his emotion! Please come back to Arizona! :)
Not even a minute in and I'm already weak, and sobbing.
Oh mh god! I am soooook happy with this video.... Love it so much! Josh is so incredible.. And the way he acts through the song!! Heavenly... Soulful! and genuine.. What a great voice
could there be anything more perfect than Josh in a Broadway show? I don't think so..
Que lindinho você interpretando você é Completo Bravo. Bravissimo Rio de Janeiro Brasil Pavuna Sucesso Sempre Saúde e Paz para você
Josh Groban is too talented. I will never be that talented. Oh my god.
So glad I got to see The Great Comet! Such an amazing and wonderful piece of theatre! Josh and every single performer was amazing!
So much incredible emotion!!
Beautiful!!! Touched my soul. Thank you so much!
This is my favorite John Groban, even more than when he sings his name on tv shows.
I'll never understand why the producers keep paying so much money for badly edited videos. The footage is beautiful but, dear God, hire a company that actually understands how to edit something into a cohesive package.
Robert Malbrough maybe the bad edits are cheaper
Nothing about your statement makes any sense.
They did good on the editing

Brav🔥 simply amazing many many thanks💥GCBway🎭🎪🗽🇺🇸🌃🎇🎆
This is my older brother’s favorite song from “Great Comet”. He actually has it memorized and can almost hold the last note.
I am in love with josh as Pierre! He is amazing 😍😢😢

I’m not crying, you are 😭
