I feel like the 'give a child a hat' was a way of covering her identity. If you think about it, the nurses should be able to recognize the princess/ probably found her at the sight. They also found that diamond sewn into her clothes, which shows her status perhaps.
Wait... yeah!!! That makes me wonder, too "they said I was found at the side of a road" might not be true. They told her that to protect her. And she was found reeaalllyyy far from the palace. Half the country away. I wonder if the nurses got her as far away as possible, then gave her some sort of memory drug. I'm actually thinking into this...
@@vibrantlife4862 i think at some point the orphanage knew when they found her and tried to hide her so she could survive. As for her name, it seems like the some remaining memories she had made her say that sort of “sound” when she was asked her name. So they stick with this sound she made and that’s maybe why it sounds so similar to her real name. The hat maybe was yes to “hide” her identity, kinda making her disappear in the crowd if her face was a little bit covered up. 😊
@@litchimoon7174yea your kinda right plus her family might be killed so probably that's why she was there in the orphanage forever and she wanted to get out. The nurses were helpful because they were hiding the princess. That's why they said "Call the child Anya, Give the child a hat". They changed her identity because somebody is trying to kill her. I mean if she wasn't living with her family, then her family's dead. They chose Anastasia to reign again so that she could took what her family left behind.
This song will forever be my favourite from this musical. It was the first song I sung at uni and to have it so nicely received gave me so much confidence. So if you’re a mezzo and wanna feel super confident, sing this song! It is magical!
IT KILLS ME ON THESE PARTS..And I just bust into tears.. ' In my dreams shadows call There's a light at the end of a hall' ' And I hear a voice whisper "I'll meet you right there in Paris" Paris'
The nurses know who she is there is really no question. One of the found a diamond sewn in her under clothes. The following lines is sung by Anya later in the show when she gives Dimitri a diamond and explains that she's had it for years and the nurse found it in her under clothes. And she sings it in the key of in my dreams almost like a reprise. "She had it from me till the day I could go A secret she kept although why I don't know she said don't tell the soul to the moment you must I had to make sure I found someone I trust"
Oh my god,the hamilton fans even dominate the Anastasia musical comments XD Hello my fellow fans or Hamiltrash or whatever it's called. I heard the term Hamiltrash somewhere. What'd I miss?! XD
It's very different and gives a very different tone to the musical, I think the musical needed this, just like the animated movie didn't : both are so different i'm impressed they managed to do that this well
Lion Celica I agree. I really wanted more background on his character and more development for him. He could have had a lot of potential in the storyline.
Lyrics They said I was found By the side of a road There were tracks all around It had recently snowed In the darkness and cold With the wind in the trees A girl with no name And no memories,but these Rain against a window Sheets upon a bed Terrifying nurses Whispering overhead Call the child Anya Give the child a hat I don’t know a thing before that Traveling the back roads Sleeping in the wood Taking what I needed Walking when I could Keeping up my courage Foolish as it’ seems At night all alone in my dreams In my dreams Shadows call There’s a light At the end of a hall Then my dreams fade away But I know it all wills came back One day I dream of a city Beyond all compare Is it Paris?Paris A beautiful river A bridge by a square And I heard a voice whisper I’ll meet you right there in Paris Paris You don’t know what it’s like Not to know who you are To have lived in the shadows And travel this far I’ve seen flashes of fire Heard the echo of screams But I still have this faith In the truth of my dreams In my dreams It’s all real And my heart has so much to reveal And my dreams Seem to say Don’t be afraid to go on Don’t give up hope come what may I know it all will come back One day !
Mia Velasquez It’s believed that the nurses named her Anya because they knew she was the princess, but was trying to protect her identity. Learned that from Genius lyrics lol
Also, Anya is the Russian version of the name of Anna, and the person who was believed to be Anya before they found her actual body was named Anna Anderson
@@justanotherbohemian3827 Yes, Anna is a name in Russia. Anya isn't the 'Russian version' of Anna, it's the derivative/ diminutive. Russian naming is kinda confusing for non-Russians, I don't fully understand it myself, so I'll try to make this simple for both of us. Basically, in Russia, you have your name (in this case, it's Anna) and your name has a diminutive. (Anya) Diminutives are essentially nicknames except it's everyone has one and everyone calls you by your nickname instead of your closest friends. I hope this makes sense, I don't really know how to explain it.

I think so too. I mean, what are the odds they gave her an alias so similar to her true name?

Duhhhhh😒😒😒😒😒
I think this is my favourite song in the whole musical!
It just so haunting but beautiful at the same time ugh I love Anastasia
I
My fav is:
In a crowd of thousands
Once apon a december
The neva flows
In my dreams
This song will forever be my favourite from this musical. It was the first song I sung at uni and to have it so nicely received gave me so much confidence. So if you’re a mezzo and wanna feel super confident, sing this song! It is magical!
I'm a Soprano and my school is doing Anastasia as our musical this year and I wanna audition for Anya but I'm anxious. Also excited too.
IT KILLS ME ON THESE PARTS..And I just bust into tears..
' In my dreams shadows call
There's a light at the end of a hall'
' And I hear a voice whisper
"I'll meet you right there in Paris"
Paris'
The nurses know who she is there is really no question. One of the found a diamond sewn in her under clothes. The following lines is sung by Anya later in the show when she gives Dimitri a diamond and explains that she's had it for years and the nurse found it in her under clothes. And she sings it in the key of in my dreams almost like a reprise.
"She had it from me till the day I could go
A secret she kept
although why I don't know
she said don't tell the soul
to the moment you must
I had to make sure I found someone I trust"
I have chills, this is beautiful I have been waiting for a musical since i was really young Im going to cry now that i can hear some of the songs
Anna McGivern I have the bootleg link if you want it?
Sara R oh my goodness could you send the link? I would greatly appreciate it
Sara R is this tryout
Molly Knight having seen both the bootleg of the previews and the actual broadway production, the two are almost exactly the same
+Sara R oh my god i never saw this reply... YES PLEASE!!!!!
This was a great addition to the musical! Christy voice makes it out of thia world, she sings it with so much passion it makes me want to cry.
3:06 "Come what may"
me : *Sings like a walrus* AND I WILL LOVE YOU UNTILL MY DIEING DAY!!!!!
Avrillove11 エーブリロブ WHEN YOU'RE GONE, I'LL GO MAD
I think you got the wrong musical reference :'D
Me: sings tomorrow from Annie
Oh my god,the hamilton fans even dominate the Anastasia musical comments XD

Chayenne Oosterveld lol true
GIVE T H E CHILD A HAT
P R I O R I T I E S
To cover her identity
SANTAAA FEEEEEEE MY OLD FRIEND
The "in my dreams" part sound exactly like it
@@stefanief7208 yeah its the same intervals! ugh i love both of these songs
Ur doing the lords work my friend - I've been waiting for ages to listen to the cast album
'IN MY DREAMS!' 'SANTE FAY!' same thing
Lucy Bremberg *Santa Fe
Oh my god I have only realised that! That is so weird 😂
So trueee
THEY SOUND THE SAME
"in my dreams, on my own, i'm alone but i ain't lonely" THEY SOUND THE SAME
First thing I heard too!
THIS SONG GAVE ME CHILLS WHEN I SAW IT LIVE AHHHHHHHHH
Oh my god,I'm addicted to this song!
Same here 10x time day I listen to it
My favourite song from the musical 😍 So emotional!
1:59 this part gives my anxiety and chills down my spine
I luv this song! (to me the chorus sounds a little bit like Santa Fe from Newsies)
it does!!
Serena Tu Seriously, like at the end, it's so much like Santa Fe. It's really gorgeous
Serena Tu I HEARD THAT TOO WHEN I WATCH THE SHOW!!!!
Serena Tu that must be why I love it so much
I said that too!!!!!!!
I’m learning this song in my sing lessons 🙂 it’s a really good song!
Great new song!! I also love the new story with Gleb, it's better than the one with Rasputin, I think ... more political!
It's very different and gives a very different tone to the musical, I think the musical needed this, just like the animated movie didn't : both are so different i'm impressed they managed to do that this well
But Gleb's role could have been used better, his role seemed very small and he didn't do much
goldkehlchen1993 The storyline with Gleb is what happened in real life, the Russian monarchy being overthrown. It's historically accurate
Lion Celica I agree. I really wanted more background on his character and more development for him. He could have had a lot of potential in the storyline.
y’all seem to forget the og anastasia movie was a children’s movie hahha
SO MUCH EMOTION I LOVE THIS
This is a great audition song for sopranos
This song gives me I Dreamed A Dream vibes
OMG! YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Lyrics
They said I was found
By the side of a road
There were tracks all around
It had recently snowed
In the darkness and cold
With the wind in the trees
A girl with no name
And no memories,but these
Rain against a window
Sheets upon a bed
Terrifying nurses
Whispering overhead
Call the child Anya
Give the child a hat
I don’t know a thing before that
Traveling the back roads
Sleeping in the wood
Taking what I needed
Walking when I could
Keeping up my courage
Foolish as it’ seems
At night all alone in my dreams
In my dreams
Shadows call
There’s a light
At the end of a hall
Then my dreams fade away
But I know it all wills came back
One day
I dream of a city
Beyond all compare
Is it Paris?Paris
A beautiful river
A bridge by a square
And I heard a voice whisper
I’ll meet you right there in Paris Paris
You don’t know what it’s like
Not to know who you are
To have lived in the shadows
And travel this far
I’ve seen flashes of fire
Heard the echo of screams
But I still have this faith
In the truth of my dreams
In my dreams
It’s all real
And my heart has so much to reveal
And my dreams
Seem to say
Don’t be afraid to go on
Don’t give up hope come what may
I know it all will come back
One day !
my favorite song 😍😍😍
Did the nurses name her Anya cause her name was Anastasia or was that some coincidence

I’m sorry. Is anyone else is getting Santa Fe vibes? From Newsies?
You and everyone else.
I thought that when I first listenes to Santa Fe! Look it up, there's someone who made a "mashup" of the two songs
My head and heart say yes, my vocal range says no.
This song make me feel so bad for her, even though I know it’s not real.
Honestly, this version is better than what actually happened.
Anastasia Romanov. Try it, try researching kinda sad.
I still feel bad for her because she died in such a sad way.
Eles disseram que eu fui encontrado ao lado de uma estrada
Havia faixas ao redor, tinha nevado recentemente
Na escuridão e frio com o vento nas árvores
Uma garota sem nome e sem lembranças, a não ser
Chuva contra uma janela, lençóis em cima de uma cama
Enfermeiras aterrorizantes sussurrando sobrecarga
Chame a criança Anya, dê um chapéu para a criança
Eu não sei de nada antes disso
Viajando pelas estradas secundárias, dormindo na madeira
Tomando o que eu precisava, trabalhando quando pude
Mantendo minha coragem, tola como parece
À noite sozinho em meus sonhos
Nos meus sonhos, sombras chamam
Há uma luz no final de um corredor
Então meus sonhos desaparecem
Mas eu sei que tudo vai voltar
Um dia
Eu sonho com uma cidade além de comparar
É Paris? Paris
Um rio bonito, uma ponte por um quadrado
E eu ouço uma voz sussurrada
Eu vou te encontrar ali mesmo em Paris
Paris
My favorite new song! ❤❤❤
Subbed back lovely - I love this kind of music!! 💫
Charley Bourne thank you it means a lot!💗
I’m auditioning with this song. Does anyone know what 32 bars of this song would be?
Hannah Mowbray, I just wanted to ask if I could use this as a cover, I'll credit you
brenda wu of course, thank you x
THE MOULIN ROUGE REFERENCE
What was it for those of us that don't know?
I think it was the line "come what may" at the end of the song. Moulin Rouge has a song in it called 'Come What May'.
Which song goes before and after In My Dreams??
Meli_Me "a rumour in st Petersburg" is before and "learn to do it" is after :)
Hannah Mowbray thank you!
"Light at the end of the hole" describes my depression to a T
*hall
Rainbow Star Productions Same

Give the child a hat PLEASE
