In my entire 63 years on this planet, I have never ever heard such a perfect song sung by two perfect voices in perfect sync. I find myself listening over and over again ... just blown away.
I feel the same way. It was stunning seeing these two on stage in person, and just as stunning hearing this rehearsal. I must have watched this over 100 times!!!
There's no one on earth writing music theatre like Jason Robert Brown. Both Steven and Kelli are glorious in the most incandescent meaning of the word.
This is one of the most beautiful new theater songs in decades. Kelli is her usual stunning self. Steven has a thrilling voice like no other male on Broadway. I can't get enough of this song - and these two amazing artists. Such heartfelt passion. Such professionalism. Such a song!!!
i don't think this song will EVER be done as amazingly as it was by these two. The Bridges score is my absolute favest ever, even before rent and spring awakening
@@javarie19 There were many great [and probably superior] scores written long before Rent and I hope you get to listen to The King and I, Carousel, Gypsy and a few others.
Kelli O Hara was nominated best actress for this musical but Steven Pasquale wasnt. She lost that year and wan the following year for The King and I.I agree that he was robbed not to.be nominated. He is a great singer and actor
What a privilege to do that!! When I was in Colorado, I performed in the community theater, that was such blast!!! I was in several plays throughout the years, the last one was "South Pacific".that's why I love musicals, and love to sing.....🙂
This clip was my introduction to Steven Pasquale's singing voice. Honestly, I'm in awe of his diction, expression, phrasing and breath control. And he taught himself to sing? Seriously? This is a masterpiece.
Just tiny little things make this go from really good to outstanding. When Kelli is in her opening section and she goes through the phrase from "Before and after you" through to "you, with a touch at once erased" in one breath and the way Steven emphasises the word "second" every time he sings it, it's a heartbeat every time! Just breathtaking!!😁🎶
This is the role of Kelli's career and she will not let it die easily. I expect a lush 10th anniversary concert performance. Steven and Jason showed up for Kelli's 54 Below cabaret act and they performed this - November, 2021
I cannot stop listening to this song for days ... what a romantic song and beautiful couple ... seems so real ... can feel their passion, love and struggles. Beautiful. Cannot wait to see a local production this weekend.
Music has always kept me going. This is my elixer. Can it be bottled? The passion and the beauty in this perfomance reminds me that the world can be beautiful and loving, full of passion and warmth.
So beautiful, it takes my breath away..... I also want to listen to this non stop~ to the brilliant composer and singers you rocked my world, thanks so much...
The video is multiple takes spliced together. The clip where she makes a face at the end is 20 minutes earlier than other clips (you can see the clock beside JRB). You can also see that her hair is different throughout. I'm guessing the audio we're hearing isn't from the take she was unhappy with.
She was the best Anna Leonowens of any lifetime in The King and I and he was the best Billy Billy Bigelow of the last several generations in Chicago's Lyric Opera Company production of Carousel. As wonderful as Joshua Henry was in last season's revival of Carousel, Pasquale was the embodiment of the role and stopped the show dead when he sang Soliloquy. Awesome artists.
That performance was so awesome and intense, you could see it etched on their faces, it was so classy and powerful, Iv never heard anything so brilliant thank you xx
What a joy to see a bit of the inner workings of bringing this rapturous music to full expression. It reveals all the artists' passion for bringing this music fully to life at the same time the music and lyrics are swirling through the crystalizing of a deep passion between 2 people. They are just so raw and overcome with the unexpected thrill of blossoming into their full selves through being with each other. And this song gives it to them for a moment, lets them say yes to each other - and just set aside the inescapable reality of harming Francesca's family - and herself - which would surely poison the delights of a future together. But in this song, they escape gravity and fly as they are so ardently aching to do. In that way, this wished-for life is birthed right here (carried by these glorious voice), and as a result, it will exist for the rest of their lives in both of their souls, despite the fact that is the only place it can be. This song is an incandescent moment for all of us to be nourished by, regardless of how any of our lives actually play out. Bravo!
Probably a silly question but does anyone know who the conductor is? I am so impressed with how they work with him. They have such a good connection. If you watch him carefully and correlate his mouthing of the song, you can see that he is controlling minute intonations. I love that part where Kelli doesn't drop eye contact from him. She anticipates, reads and executes the instruction meticulously. Kelli and Steve are where they are in the industry in part, I'm sure, because they are leaders in respecting and following vision. Of course they aren't perfect but such humility is, well, humbling for an aspiring artist to see.
Benjamin Raymant Jason Robert Brown. He composed this score. Kellie was a part of the creation process, almost 5 years, so I'm sure that they developed a deep mutual respect for one another throughout that time.

Omg so good x
Me too

Yep. Just a pity the two are so homely.
There's no one on earth writing music theatre like Jason Robert Brown. Both Steven and Kelli are glorious in the most incandescent meaning of the word.
This man is a dream. A great actor too, he has a voice that takes your breath away.
This video is 6 years old and I still enjoy listening to it often.
*9 years old ;)
Kelly has been brilliant in so many shows. Why don’t we see more of Steven? He was perfection in this show.
This is one of the most beautiful new theater songs in decades.
Kelli is her usual stunning self. Steven has a thrilling voice like
no other male on Broadway. I can't get enough of this song - and these
two amazing artists. Such heartfelt passion. Such professionalism.
Such a song!!!
come back to broadway or even better tv/video!

Steve was absolutely incredible in the show. I saw it 4 times! He deserved so much more as did JRB. This score is a masterpiece...
i don't think this song will EVER be done as amazingly as it was by these two.
The Bridges score is my absolute favest ever, even before rent and spring awakening
Adam Efimoff actually never saw the king and I, nor heard the score. maybe I should give it a listen?
@@javarie19 There were many great [and probably superior] scores written long before Rent and I hope you get to listen to The King and I, Carousel, Gypsy and a few others.
i love how when she sings she keeps her palms open. like she can feel the music more that way. beautiful.
Oh lord please help me...... I'm addicted to this song....... I can't stop watching it!! IM GOING CRAZY
+EmbraceTheInevitable yeah - this has been all i've listened to recently.
This is so very moving. Amazing voices create romance and magic. I watch this over and over again!
Me too!
Understood !
Me too 😀
It's wonderful being able to see this video of these two wonderful singers performing this song live in a studio. Marvelous.
I'm sitting here in tears watching this video just as I was when I saw this beautiful show on Broadway!!
Kelli's robot dancing slays my entire existence.
oh gosh steven pasquale's voice....
Right?? So beautiful
5:27-6:15 pure magic! Kelli takes us to another world
The phrasing is masterful
Msmojo brought me here and so glad they did. How have i lived so long without knowing of this masterpiece?! Simply beautiful! So so good!
Rare WatchMojo W
Steven has the most amazing voice! Love him!
These 2 are ridiculously talented - He got robbed not being nominated! Love this!
Agreed
Kelli O Hara was nominated best actress for this musical but Steven Pasquale wasnt. She lost that year and wan the following year for The King and I.I agree that he was robbed not to.be nominated. He is a great singer and actor
Steve Pasquale is just perfection
WOW! One of the most romantic songs I've ever heard; and those gorgeous people with those gorgeous voices!
I worked at this theatre when it was on broadway, love every performance I saw.
Wow that's amazing! :)
What a privilege to do that!! When I was in Colorado, I performed in the community theater, that was such blast!!! I was in several plays throughout the years, the last one was "South Pacific".that's why I love musicals, and love to sing.....🙂

WOW! I love how the engineers and producers etc are just as focused and mentally invested as the singers. Its such a beautiful thing
I agree with this soooooo much found in pandemic can’t stop listening.
This is the role of Kelli's career and she will not let it die easily. I expect a lush 10th anniversary concert performance. Steven and Jason showed up for Kelli's 54 Below cabaret act and they performed this - November, 2021
Steven Pasquale... man, i might love him. His voice is gold.
Steven, you are beyond! You have such power& energy in your voice!
Jason Robert Brown is a genius. Steven and Kelli are perfect together.
I luv Kelli ! She's the tip of the top.
I love this show!!! I saw it twice when it finally came to our area & would go again if I find out it's nearby.
The epicness is too much!!!! I hope every songwriter will endeavor to write love songs as epic and soul-stirring as this one.
This is the benchmark to which we all work. Extraordinary songwriting accomplishment.
This score is one of the reasons I keep singing ....
Will I ever get sick of this video? I don't think the limit exists.
Can you even imagine what it is like to write a song and then hear Kelli O'Hara sing it?
So many years and this is still one of my favorite videos!
I love how much you can tell Jason Robert Brown loves this score :)
Perfection. Enough said. It just doesn't get any better.
I cannot stop listening to this song for days ... what a romantic song and beautiful couple ... seems so real ... can feel their passion, love and struggles. Beautiful. Cannot wait to see a local production this weekend.
I can watch this a million time, favorite song 🙌🏻
I, too, cannot stop listening and watching these two beautiful souls. They are sheer magic together.
I still can't stop listening. It always nearly brings me to tears and wishes that I were in love. Incredible performers, both!
Music has always kept me going. This is my elixer. Can it be bottled? The passion and the beauty in this perfomance reminds me that the world can be beautiful and loving, full of passion and warmth.
So beautiful, it takes my breath away..... I also want to listen to this non stop~ to the brilliant composer and singers you rocked my world, thanks so much...
I'm still not over this closing, nor the fact that Kelli wasn't happy with this perfect performance.
The video is multiple takes spliced together. The clip where she makes a face at the end is 20 minutes earlier than other clips (you can see the clock beside JRB). You can also see that her hair is different throughout. I'm guessing the audio we're hearing isn't from the take she was unhappy with.
She can sing any folk song and knock it out of the park. Perfectly suited voice....
She was the best Anna Leonowens of any lifetime in The King and I and he was the best Billy Billy Bigelow of the last several generations in Chicago's Lyric Opera Company production of Carousel. As wonderful as Joshua Henry was in last season's revival of Carousel, Pasquale was the embodiment of the role and stopped the show dead when he sang Soliloquy. Awesome artists.
so delightful! seeing all the interactions between the singers the director. Thank you for sharing.
The music for this is so incredibly well done.
It really can't get any better than that... such talent, such passion, music, such an important part of life, I couldn't live without it.
Kelli's dancing in this is so silly and cute and perfect.
Leo Carmody HAHAHAHAHA IM WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW AND JUST SAW YOUR COMMENT
awesome beyond words! steven pasquale is just dayum!!!!
I am OBSSESSED with this song
It breaks me... every single time.
Great melody. Great lyrics
Great arrangement and orchestral backing. And, of course, great vocals by Kelli and Steven!

beautiful... I think I'm inlove with steven voice ooooh
Most gorgeous voice ever
WOW! I am really speechless! why have I only found this now?

The number of water bottles in the booth is so beautiful
As a musical theatre actor who stress drinks before auditions and performances this is so real
Kelli, you are a diamond found in the sand !!!
I love watching professional performers work. You can learn so much from seeing how they bring out their characters as they sing. It’s enrapturing.
Best duet
Steven Pasquale as Noah in the upcoming notebook musical who's with me
Tara Thelen yessssss!!!! 😍😍😍
Two gorgeous voices sent from Heaven. Enough said.
Modern Romeo and Juliet with wonderful lyrics and singers, matured.
끝내준다~ Absolutely Fantastic

That performance was so awesome and intense, you could see it etched on their faces, it was so classy and powerful, Iv never heard anything so brilliant thank you xx
oh Steven..you rock my world! :-)

Glorious gracious and spellbound ❤
Simply stunning... in all regards and by all accounts. Bravo.
This needs to be done live on tv next!!! Wowza!!!!!! Incredible!!!
Derek klena recently sang a small tidbit of this song in his solo performance and I’m IN LOVE. It’s my new favorite old song. Just gorgeous
Steven Pasquale voice omg😦

It's the writer, Jason Robert Brown :)

Reborn, now that is a cool fact I did not know! That is so amazing!!
The Music Director for the Musical while it was on Broadway was Tom Murray. Don't know he if conducted this or not.
@@rebornsnuzzles2573 For almost five years as in The Last Five Years 😏😊
Pippa is such a lucky person :) as for Steven as well... They're such a talented couple
You can so tell this is JRB. Love
Both performers are fabulous.
