    The "Let it Go" of the 90s.

      Not really, Journey to the Past is all about Anya reconnecting with her past and her identity, whereas 'Let It Go' is about Elsa turning her back on her past and disowning it. Defying Gravity is more of proto-'Let It Go'.

    i love how liz callaway’s version is more curious, doubtful that her life can’t possibly be Just That, just orphan anya with no past or future, and it’s what makes her step forward and actually seek her identity
    meanwhile christy’s version is hopeful, like she’s almost there! the one thing she longed for so long is by the edge of her fingertips and she’s moments from celebrating.
    it’s the same song but very different tonally and it’s amazing im OBSESSED!

    • @areading12
      @areading12 4 роки тому +41

      I saw the show last year and the tone shift makes even more sense! In the movie, Anya sings this at the beginning when she decides to go to St. Petersburg and when she is doubting whether it's the right choice.
      For the Broadway show, they shifted the order of the songs so that this one ends the first act (I cried my eyes out the entire time) Instead of her standing over St. Petersburg, she is overlooking Paris, hoping that her lost family will be waiting for her.

    • @KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices
      @KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices 3 роки тому +9

      Well, Journey To The Past is the Act I finale, where the trio had already reached Paris. So it makes sense. Anya's anticipating how her future could end up.

    Lyrics
    Heart, don't fail me now!
    Courage, don't desert me!
    Don't turn back now that we're here.
    People always say
    Life is full of choices.
    No one ever mentions fear!
    Or how the world can seem so vast
    On a journey ... to the past.
    Somewhere down this road
    I know someone's waiting
    Years of dreams just can't be wrong!
    Arms will open wide.
    I'll be safe and wanted
    Fin'lly home where I belong.
    Well, starting now, I'm learning fast
    On this journey to the past Home, Love, Family.
    There was once a time
    I must have had them, too.
    Home, Love, Family,
    I will never be complete
    Until I find you...
    One step at a time,
    One hope, then another,
    Who knows where this road may go
    Back to who I was,
    On to find my future.
    Things my heart still needs to know.
    Yes, let this be a sign!
    Let this road be mine!
    Let it lead me to my past
    And bring me home...
    At last!

      @Silver54ful 7 років тому +1

      I have been to New York once. Back in the late 90's when I was only nine. And the family explored Lower Manhattan under the guidance of a relative. Which was really cool. But we never made it to the theatre district sadly.
      One day I am going back and making it my own trip. And the plan is to catch at least three Broadway shows. I have no idea what they will be. Whatever they are, I will savor every second of them. As a massive theatre nerd, it is only fitting.
      If Anastasia is still playing when I can finally take my trip. I would happily go see it. It looks and sounds superb. :)

    • @manuelorozco7760
