    We're performing this for our Broadway show closer. The theme is Once Upon A Time and we end by explaining "Why We Tell the Story." Wish us (OA MP) luck. Thnx!

    I'm so scared to sing this song! I'm Andrea and there is a line in this song I have to sing and it's pretty hard for me to sing the line and I also can't train myself too well to sing it because you can't hear Andrea to well, anyways when I try to sing it, it always comes out low and doesn't sound too good... This is one of the hardest songs in the soundtrack in my opinion!

    • @irisrose1314
      @irisrose1314 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Please give me advice! I'm playing Andrea, but I am an alto, (and tend to sing barritone bcuz most ppl r sopranos in our cast) and the notes are so difficult! Can you give me any advice?

    omg the very beginning when Ti Moune dies, I started crying when eurazulie is talking, and then when the little girl starts retelling the story it was soooo touching i love this song

  • @viancamelendez1623
    @viancamelendez1623 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    well she didn't exactly give him back - the Beauxhomme took him :p but the part about him giving her false love is pretty messed up. Plus Papa Ge really did mean to kill him in the first place..

  • @charlieedwards4331

    I was the assistant choreographer for a local production of this show and it was awesome! I co-choreographed "We Dance" and "Pray" and choreographed "Rain" and "Ti Moune's Dance" on my own. It was first time working on a show instead of being in one and it was a great experience! Though I have to say, during full cast run-throughs, tech and dress rehearsals, I would always leave with a lot of the songs stuck in my head and "A Part of Us" and "Why We Tell the Story" made me wanna cry (I shed a few tears during opening night LOL)!

    • @shelbym7562

    I'm a bird, not a lead but anyways the cast is horrible this year and we cut this song so all we sing is why we tell the story. I'm so sad, and the show is tomorrow and half the kids don't even know their ques!

  • @CamhoweX31
    @CamhoweX31 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've been cast as Daniel for my schools production of Once on This Island, I really like playing the part, and our rehearsals have been great, your videos have made it much easier to learn the songs.

    I disagree, she was kinda stupid i mean she saved his life, delivered him back to his family, made him fall in love with her, and then he snubbed her because "it's how things are done". He didn't deserve to live :/
