BroadwayBookworm325 He looks just like Dimitri 😍😍😍😍
when are we going to talk about the best chemistry on broadway
right now
Legally Blonde: Laura Bell Bundy, Christian Borle
the way Emmett looks at Elle is just
But also Derek and Christy have moments. and their moments are the entire show
derek seems like a reeeeeeeally good hugger
hanakø m omg you're right😭💕
I'd like to report that he is indeed, I hugged him when I saw the show a week ago 😍
Chelsea Moretz omg so lucky! I'm jealous
hanako m gOD have you seen his arms. whoever's decision it was to have him wear a tank top in Crowd of Thousands. bless you
So true
They'd also pass as Flynn and Rapunzel if Tangled becomes a musical omgggg
Same thoughts!!!!!
100%
Derek's voice is STELLAR.
and that makes him even more sexy as f***ck
ginonovanta omg I relate to you on so many levels
gleefulgirl8291 he definitely is a good choice for Demitri. I really want to see the show.
One of my old high school drama classmates knew him and his family personally. She thought of Derek as her fiancé but they were not actually engaged or arranged to be married.
Manuel Orozco that's a little... weird
all the comments talking about Derek and yes he’s hot as hell but HELLO HOW COULD WE NOT NOTICE CHRISTY?? She’s so smol and adorable and she’s amazing at transitioning from belt to mix to head so seamlessly!
They have the best stage chemistry I have ever seen in my life! They both deserve so much!!!!
I nearly fell out of my seat when Derek showed up 😂
heyloitzjamay wow I know he came out of no where but I didn't expect u to fall over 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Amber Chng I was sitting on a high chair by the side of the stage where he entered that night. I jumped a little when he came up out of nowhere 😂😂😂
heyloitzjamay I fall out of my seat every time I hear the "Derek Klena" 😂
heyloitzjamay me 2
"unexpected what you did to my heart" no, Derek Klena, unexpected what YOU did to MY heart holy moley
Most underrated comment
I laughed out loud. Too good
Ugh, it actually hurts that I can't see Anastasia - their chemistry is so good!
They're actually dating irl too. :)
Really? That would be neat, but that kind of makes me afraid they'll break up and the awkwardness will seep onto the stage haha.
Mary Cole jk. sorry i was mistaken. that's not his girlfriend. they do have wonderful chemistry though.
it's ok! and yeah, they do, it really brings their characters to life. :)
Mary Cole I know! I was wondering why their names together sounded so familiar but I knew them as a combo bc Carrie the Musical
when derek shouted princess... i wanna make that my ringtone thank you very much
SAAAAAAME
Christy Altomare is too cute to be true
THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER
Eugene and Rapunzel vibes
christy has such an expressive face, especially when she sings ~
Yes even her voice express so much.
I COULD STARE AT DEREK FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
Mara P lmoa😂😂😂
Hahahahahaha ❤
They ARE Anya and Dimitri! :D
Derek was born to play Dimitri!
I once saw him play Link in a regional production of Hairspray. It was six years ago here in Long Beach. Just down the hill from my house. It also starred Gwen Stewart (the original Seasons of Love soloist in Rent) as Maybelle, Todrick Hall as Seaweed and Barry Pearl from the movie and TV versions of Grease as Wilbur Turnblad.
he is from Dimas, Los Angeles HAHA lol
not anymore 💔😭
Derek's range is insane. This songs high notes he hits compared to some of the low notes he hits in the Anastasia soundtrack. Incredible singer
How did they manage to find someone who looks EXACTLY like the cartoon character come to life?? wild
I know right
Finally!! Anastasia made it to the Broadway Princess Party!!
Actually Alison Luff sang Journey To The Past before that! It's amazing, you should see it.
Can we talk about how much Derek's dimples made me swoon..... His voice made me fall in love!!
Trixia Dela Rosa his dimples give me life
IKR talk all you want about it lol
*hurk*
I know this isn't in the actual Broadway show, but can they please record this as a bonus track for the original cast album or something? Please?
seeleyboothfan2 As cool as that would be, encores are generally avoided in serious shows (as opposed to comedic shows like Shrek or Jukebox shows like Mamma Mia or We Will Rock You.)
IT'S NOT IN THE SHOW WHAT?!
I saw the show on Sunday. This would've been a great ending. They'ed BETTER add it as a bonus track.
WickedSong how do you have Anastasia without 'at the beginning'?? it's the most iconic
Cookiees Ncream Exactly
Derek and Christy have amazing on stage chemistry. Wanna know who else has great on stage chemistry... Ramin Karimloo and Sierra Boggess.
THIS was the comment i've been looking for!!!
I agree with every fibre of my being. They’re literally the only stage Christine/Phantom I can listen to. None compare. 😅
Have you ever seen two people so suited for their roles it actually makes you a little mad?? They're amazing ;-; Thanks so much for the upload Benjamin!!
I sooo feel you!
Omg so true 🥺🥺
Love how like everyone just talked about Derek in the comments like yes he's incredible but look at Christy too, look at that absolute angel she has a beautiful voice and she's just beautiful and I love her????
Even though this song was only an end credits for the movie, this should've been in the show, having them sing it for the finale or something. I get so many feels when they sing "now I know my dreams will live on, I've been waiting so long, nothing's going to tear us apart"
Tasha M yesss
The orchestra plays part of it towards the end, I was really hoping the whole song would be in the finale!
I hate to agree
i love that little gesture he makes to christy when they finish the song right before hugging
Anastasia is my all time favorite movie and they couldn't choose two better people for Anya and Dimitri! I'm so in love with them
andy rdz ikr??😭💕
andy rdz ikr!! 😭😍
Carina Rdz yesss
Their voices blend SO WELL
My inner 90s heart is beaming!
Derek and Christy, they have sooo heavenly voices. Look what a dreamy chemistry they make
6 years later and I am still waiting for a studio version ❤
You’re not alone
Get yourself a man who looks at you like Derek Klena looks at Christy Altomare
How about one that looks like Derek Klena?
@@annaoffive 🙌🏻
@@annaoffive HAHAHA
That last smile Derek gave to Christy before they hug aASFKJFJEKF i can't
So glad we have a version with Derek and Christy! They sound wonderful together!
The way he looks at her 🔥🔥
the way he looks at her 😍😍😍
Oh My Gosh...they're just too perfect for an on stage royal couple..really wish that the musical will have an international tour 😢
Charmie 25 1 year later, it does now!!!😂
SJSJAKAKAOA I HAVE WATCHED THIS A MILLION TIMES BUT I STILL CANT GET OVER HOW CUTE IT IS WHEN DEREK AND CHRISTY HUG AT THE END AHHHH
Marisa Lynn oh hey Marisa lolll I love them so much😭😭😭😭
Jillian Kratts Oh hey stranger! 😫💕 Can't wait to see them
Please tell me that I'm not the only one more impressed by his vocals than his looks! His voice is so dreamy, I'm drowning in it!
OH MY G-- IT'S HER! I LIKED HER VERSION OF JOURNEY TO THE PAST SO BAD!
It’s amazing how great their chemistry is like sometimes it’s almost like they forget they have an audience and it makes the experience that much better
Now, I really want to hear Derek and Christy sing 'Let Me Be Your Wings' from the animated movie, Thumbelina! I would love that! ❤
Thumbelina is my favorite Don Bluth movie tied with Pebble and the Penguin
I saw the show last Saturday and it was AMAZING!!! Met Christy after the show and she was so genuine and kind we ended up crying and fingerling over the movie for like 8 minutes. She is the PERFECT Anya
Dang
Their voices are perfect for each other. Cody Simpson and Zach Adkins did a perfectly good job but Tony nominee Derek Klena is inevitably going to be on another level.
when derek offered a hug immediately after their perf, i melted **o**
Oh my goodness I have loved this song so much for so long but i've never liked the voices on the recording from the movie all that much.
I have said "You know what this world needs? a cover of this song with two people with strong lovely voices."
AND IT HAS BEEN DELIVERED AND IT IS BETTER THAN I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE IMAGINED.
GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS, CHILDREN
I still can’t get over the fact that this song didn’t make it to the musical. They say it doesn’t fit but I wish they did something to make it work.
I feel you
A dream come true that Christy and Derek sang At the Beginning from the movie. I've been waiting for Anastasia to come to broadway since about 2015
I still remember when the casting was first released and afterwards when I first saw a vid of these 2 in their roles... it was legitimately like watching Anya and Dimitri irl and I teared up so bad😭 I’m heartbroken that I can’t watch them for this musical anymore cause as much as Zach is amazing Derek was literally Dimitri come alive for me...
When they sang "this is the staaartt" in my head I was like "...of something new" LOL #hsm
Gaya Astvatsatryan lol
One of the best comments I’ve ever read!
I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT
Hsm fans yowww
ahahaha sameee, it sounds like it perfectly fits
It's like Anya & Dimitri came to life. So glad they sang this! 😍😍😍
I'm so in love with this.
I've lost count of how many times I watched this 😭 I want to see them on Broadway so bad, but Im broke and on the other side of the country 😒
avatartrin yeah same
what part are you in?
avatartrin Girl I feel ya! I'm on the other side of the planet 😩
Yeah I know the feeling... :(
Cast recording and tour coming soon!
avatartrin I'm on the other side of the world😨😨😨😨😨
Derek is a real life prince!!!
An instant favorite, what is this quality! ahhh I'm dyinggggg
Derek Klena is soooo dreamy 😍
the number of times ive been watching this everyday...omygod. pleaaaaaseeee do a reruuuuuun 😢
They have so much chemistry and the way they look at each other oh it hurts. You can tell they forget they have an audience at times before they have to remind themselves to stop looking at each other and oh it hurts. Be still my heart.
i really miss them.... ;(
Gosh Derek Klena is so dreamy.....
I get goosegumps everytime I watch them sing together. Everytime. And I will never get enough of Derek. His performances in Like You Like It are phenomenal, as well as Carrie and Dogfight
This is one iconic song from the animated film. I wonder why they didn't add this on the storyline, or at least for the encore.
John Uzziel Dumaop It's amazing!!
10% of the comments are about how pretty the song is
90% are of how hot Derek is😂😂
But seriously hes a god😍
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
[Chorus:]
And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
[Chorus:]
And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Knew there were somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
[Chorus:]
And life is a road that I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep going on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
In the end I want to be standing at the beginning
With you
...I'm not obsessed w this at all *watches for the millionth time *. Also Derek, OMFG YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!
I am not the only one who spit out my tea when I saw Derek. I just know I'm not alone😭 I love him so much help me
This song better be on the cast recording!
No matter how many covers of this song I've already heard I always go back to this version. It's like it has it's own magic ❤
These two, I just love them!! That kind of natural easy chemistry, just doesn't come around everyday. Love them both!! Such stars!!
I can't believe this song is now 20 years old. Where has the time gone.
2:36 to the end is just whew 😍😍...their voices blend together so well i’m never gonna be over it
I will not get tired watching them singing together ❤❤❤❤❤Anastasia and Dmitri.
best version of this song, i know, it's just my opinion.
Silene Costa no I agree
the original version it's not bad but this version in my opinion give more justice to this song.
Silene Costa Sorry, I prefer the original. Although this is very good.
lunpxtter i like Richard Marx voice, i just don't enjoy Donna Lewis voice and this is probably the reason why i don't enjoy so much the original version
Derek's smile at the end tho, it kills me everytime
I can't wait until the cast recording comes out for Anastasia!!
sadiethecat18 It's out now if you haven't already seen it!! :)
~:~
this song ain't on the album tbh IT NEEDS TO!!!
sadiethecat18 it’s on Spotify, but not Apple Music :/
This is so cute because their beginning started off-broadway for Carrie aw they're so adorable
IT HURTS SO BAD I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE THE MUSICAL IRL THIS IS THE CLOSEST ILL EVER GET AND I'M SO HAPPY
I can't wait for the OBC recording, but I will forever be just a little bit bitter that this song was never incorporated into the show. This song is an incredibly underrated one - it can apply to so many aspects of Anya's past, present, and future not just her relationship with Dimitri.
I know they didn’t have the exact song but they incorporated the instrumental of the chorus for a scene change! It’s nice to know they at least thought of it! But I’m bitter they didn’t sing it either😂
petition to cast Derek Klena as Hercules!!
That would be cool
okay but Christy Altomare actually is a Disney Princess her voice is literally the perfect princess voice and like hello Disney next princess right here???
The way they look at each other is incredible!! It shows how much they care for each other and you can see it in their eyes when they watch the other sing! I love it so much!
A 90s girl's dream come true. So excited about this new show!!!
It was so beautiful. Was it not?
Okay, so I knew the song and normally when I watch one of these and I know it, I sing along. I was literally speechless from the second he walked onstage. I had never seen him before. He is too gorgeous for words. And that voice!!!
It's already 2020 but I'm still waiting for the studio version of this
Its been a year since i saw the national tour
2020 and I'm still here watching this ❤️
Its been a while for me
WHY. IS. THIS. NOT. ON. THE. ALBUM. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK. I. AM. OFFENDED.
If I could like this 10000000000 times I would omg so perfect. And Derek is such a cutie I can't.
Ahrens and Flaherty can literally write anything and it'll be lovely and stunning.
I have grown up with Anastasia and Buster and Chauncy's Silent Night
Good. The new generation will need this.
Their chemistry is off the charts!
They have such amazing chemistry, both during this and in the show. I was able to see them, and they're definitely one of the best duos I've seen.
It's a wedding song for me. It all started with a good friendship. "In the end I want to be standing at the beginning" is like meeting this person at the Altar after all the trials they had. Omg my eyes is in heart shape hahaha I've been replaying this 10000xxx haha seeing all the good things he did for me. ❤❤❤
THEY ARE TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!! Anyone remember Carrie??!!!???!!!? Ugh I love it!!!
Yesss!
Rachel And Baby T AHHH YES
I've never heard anything so stunning in my entire life.
i love derek and christy's chemistry, way more than zach and christy. no hate on zach though- he's incredible! maybe i just have original cast syndrome, but when i saw the play and derek wasn't in it, it didn't feel complete
Such a lovely couple! I could´t catch anything else than perfect harmony of their voices!!! Ugh..I need to see them alive!!! :)
Is it weird that I wish someday when I get married, this is the song for my wedding? Love this song so much 💕
They're just perfect together
I just came from the studio version they released and my heart is sad cause Derek wasn’t in it :(
