i saw this in boston and i sat on the stage and grace mclean sang this directly over my shoulder like i could feel her breathing on me it was insane it's been a year and a half and i still haven't recovered
Did it bring back memories of your angry mom/auntie raising her slipper getting ready to strike you? I mean that's never happened to me, but I imagine that's the kind of feeling that sensation might evoke.
Is Brittain the one who sings "Natasha shook with wordless sounds" or something like that? Because oh my god that voice, it's lovely. Grace is a lovely singer, but Brittain's voice also is just utter gold.
I saw this show back in January, and it was absolutely amazing! I sat in the front row, and during Prologue Grace McLean winked at me. I know that seems like something little, but as a huge Broadway nerd it made me really happy.
Amazing, mesmerizing. How does Grace not hurt her vocal chords when yelling at Natasha? I cannot wait to see it again on 5/13. The Original Cast Recording plays continuously in my car, only to be superseded by the Original Broadway Cast Recording once I get it - already pre-ordered of course!
The sheer raw emotion in every word each of them sing! Brittain's shakiness when pleading with Natasha, Denee's growl in the "dont touch me!", and Grace's... EVERYTHING Absolutely incredible. I will never forgive the broadway elites for robbing this show of its Tony's.
God this song makes me cry everytime. Natasha is only 16. I think many girls/women can relate to the fact that they were infatuated (or just sexually attracted) to someone at that age and just wanted to throw everything away for that person. The consequences nowadays are not as significant, but imagine being expected to be married at 16 before you’ve even experienced that “crazed in love” phase, and possibly damning your whole family cause you were being a teenager. Jesus, and the fact that Marya is saying some pretty mean things, when we all know that Marya is just afraid, angry, and upset that this all happened under her nose. Then Sonya knowing her best friend/cousin will never forgive her, but still wanting to comfort her is just. The emotional stakes of this song are unmatched.
The Webster's Dictionary definition of Intensity. Outstanding. And the interview with Grace that I watched earlier which was conducted following this recording session is so insightful.
It's sounds different but perfectly so. It's so good I love Marya D and i love watching the expressions was they sing this is literally my favourite song in the show
Practically all the comments here are about Grace, and deservedly so, but Denée is SO unbelievably perfect! Every time I play this song, I rewind that “Marya Dmitrievna tried to speak again...” part over and OVER again! It’s truly mesmerising how she nails the emotion gloriously AND sings it perfectly!
She deserved MORE THAN A NOMINATION! IT IS AN *_ABOMINATION_* THAT SHE DIDN’T NOT ONLY WIN BEST PERFORMANCE BY A FEATURED ACTRESS, BUT *_EARN THIS WHOLE SHOW A BEST MUSICAL VICTORY EVEN WITHOUT THE REST OF THE SHOW!_* AND DON’T GET ME *_STARTED_* ON THE REST OF THE CAST! THIS SHOW DESERVED TO WIN *_EVERY SINGLE AWARD_* IT WAS NOMINATED FOR! (Pant pant pant) Ok, I’m done.
I love this song and all, but I just noticed that something in the editing is off. This doesn't apply for the first minute, but from 1:00 onwards, in shots facing the front of Grace Mclean, her left arm is up clutching her headphones, but in side shots, her arm is extended in front of her from her elbow. she isn't just raising and lowering her arm either, it happens too quickly for that to be the case. I'm guessing they must have taken two or more runs of it and put them together as if it was one take. This doesn't have any real impact on the video or music, but I figured I'd point it out since it was bothering me quite a bit.
I have seen The Great Comet twice and I am not sure I am going to watch anymore of the cast recording sessions in the studio. I know when I listen to the full soundtrack, I will envision the scenes of each number and I don't want to envision them in the studio. I will still listen to any videos but open another window and not watch the video.
This is amazing and i love it but we've had the two big Girl Songs in the musical release videos - Sonya Alone and No One Else - and now this one and all i want to say, loudly, is PLEASE DO CHARMING
Brittain was super nice and talented, I met her and I believe I met Grace and she was super nice, Denèe was talented but I didn't meet her, but I loved great comet so much anyways 😍😍😂

grace mclean could literally throw a cactus at me and i'd thank her wtf
widowmaker MOOD
Same here
Lmao “sorry for breaking your cactus”
Only a cactus?
LMFAOOOOOO
Yeah it is a damn good thing Anatole got away because Marya would have fucking killed him
habeasaeternam89 tru
Too petersburgggg!
Even if looks couldn’t kill, HERS would be enough. And if that didn’t work, the sheer intensity in her voice would VERY MUCH finish the job.
@@alexandersean4708 true!
i saw this in boston and i sat on the stage and grace mclean sang this directly over my shoulder like i could feel her breathing on me it was insane it's been a year and a half and i still haven't recovered
YOU GOT TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS GRACE MCLEAN?!? AND WAS ABLE TO WATCH LIVE?!?!?
Did it bring back memories of your angry mom/auntie raising her slipper getting ready to strike you?
I mean that's never happened to me, but I imagine that's the kind of feeling that sensation might evoke.
I think I would have fainted
YOU SAW THE GREAT COMET IN MY CITY WHEN I CAN’T EVEN SEE IT MYSELF?!
WHAT. THE. FLIP.
I want to hire Grace McLean to verbally murder my exes. Unrelated: I want to hire Grace McLean to sing "Congratulations" from Hamilton.
She would nail Congratulations
Oh my GOD I would love to hear that
I would cry if she was screaming at me... no acting needed
I would pay to see that
imagine her as persephone in hadestown 😩
GRACE MCLEAN MORE LIKE GREAT MCLEAN
SO GREAT
The Great McLean of 2017
THE GREAT MCCLEAN OF 1812
Queen Grace Mclean
😂
Grace roasts Denée for 3 straight minutes... Brittain watches.
ok but brittain lowkey jamming in the corner
Mirit Skeen yes, brittain is such a good Sonya
Grace Mclean could beat me with a brick and I'd thank her for it
Faith As long as she isn’t beating an old man or a child
@@grayperson178 that would be cruel
I love how Grace just throws herself into Marya D...I have goosebumps...
Everyone's praising Grace - and rightfully so - but we gotta give credit to Brittain and Denee too! Their vocals are amazing!
that long time Denee had to belt is incredible
Brittain's vocals in this musical are amazing. She has such a unique way of singing that I couldn't imagine anyone else as Sonya
Is Brittain the one who sings "Natasha shook with wordless sounds" or something like that? Because oh my god that voice, it's lovely. Grace is a lovely singer, but Brittain's voice also is just utter gold.
@@ronisawyer5371 Yes she is! She’s my favorite singer out of this musical’s cast, just such a distinct and unique voice for broadway
@@ronisawyer5371 its 'noiseless convulsive sobs' and yeah ik her tone is so unique and beautiful :)
the change in emotion from 2:08 "natasha! ... natalya..." is so amazing!!! grace mclean is so good and deserves so much recognition
I almost cried because I went to see comet and Grace was handing out dumplings in my section, gave me one and then called me gorgeous. I was blessed.
Straight to heaven, collect 200
Tbh, I don't think Grace Mclean is an a actual person. Marya D took over her body and now Grace is gone
And when the audience truly believes that, Theatre is created!
@@jackiebox2067 Basically Rachel Soglin
grace mclean was robbed of a tony: the musical
The whole production was robbed of more Tonys
Megan Karow yes
@@PapaLobo94 I genuinely don’t know how great comet lost anything but lead actor and choreography
@@krau2880 Yeah only bc there's literally no choreography and there were better choices for lead actor
More like robbed of a Tony in general: the musical.
Grace Mclean definitely deserved a Best Featured Actress nomination... she kills it in this number...
I would paid to see her preform this, and congratulations from hamilton
CAN WE TALK ABOUT GRACE'S BODY ROLL AT 1:15 YAASSSSS
lol the "press your wet face to mine", she's like yeaahhh
😂
I love how u can see grace 'gearing up' whilst Denee is yelling don't touch me. She just throws everything into marya
Natasha was not asleep because these amazing voices were stuck in her head.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT BRITTAIN?!?! SHE SINGS SO BEAUTIFUL
I love her singing style
Grace could murder me and I'd still thank her
Reilly Jackson anyone in the cast could stomp on my feet 25 times in a row and I would thank them
grace mclean please annihilate me kick me out of moscow plea
Grace's silent rage is more frightening than if she just yelled the whole time.
Anyone else notice Grace's body roll while Brittain is singing at 1:15? God this woman is a powerhouse
I saw this show back in January, and it was absolutely amazing! I sat in the front row, and during Prologue Grace McLean winked at me. I know that seems like something little, but as a huge Broadway nerd it made me really happy.
If Grace McLean winked at me I would probably faint onto the floor
Amazing, mesmerizing. How does Grace not hurt her vocal chords when yelling at Natasha? I cannot wait to see it again on 5/13. The Original Cast Recording plays continuously in my car, only to be superseded by the Original Broadway Cast Recording once I get it - already pre-ordered of course!
Ira Goodman same got mine on Barnes and Noble
i think she actually did hurt her vocal chords
Macaroni and Cliches How do you know
@@dankhnw8 She mentioned it in an interview (I think it's also on the official Great Comet TH-cam page)
FreyjaVSLoki i hope it's not permanent. I don't know how these things work
The sheer raw emotion in every word each of them sing! Brittain's shakiness when pleading with Natasha, Denee's growl in the "dont touch me!", and Grace's... EVERYTHING
Absolutely incredible. I will never forgive the broadway elites for robbing this show of its Tony's.
0:39 - 0:50 Gives me goosebumps every time
Can we just appreciate how cute Brittain is when she is bopping to the music at 0:14?
Sarah Hamilfan But she just ignores it and keeps bopping, that’s so cute
She’s adorable and I stand by that
God this song makes me cry everytime. Natasha is only 16.

for once, someone who knows it isn't "doing things over and over again"
C A N Y O U B R E A K A R E P L A Y B U T T O N
Ugh me right now
1:17 The "Don't touch me" gets me every single time
I love and fear Grace McLean
Marya is my favorite character from this show, which I have now seen 6 times. She can touch me on the cheek any time!
MARYA DIMITRIYEVNA (?) TRIED TO SPEAK AGAIN BUT NATASHA CRIED OUT GO AWAY (higher) GO AWAY
grace, fully immersed in marya's fury: *you shameless good for nothing, you vile shameless girl*
brittain, jamming out:
not even 2 seconds in and grace has already slaughtered me
me? gay for every female cast member of the great comet? it's more likely than you think
kayra god I feel this deeply
@@pialestrange5826 me too
@Hailie Waldon same I am also gay
I must agree with this sentiment
I'm not gay but holy *shit,* Grace is just- 😱
It's sounds different but perfectly so. It's so good I love Marya D and i love watching the expressions was they sing this is literally my favourite song in the show
what a time to be alive
0:39 her voice sounds like what violins and heartbreak sound like
OKAY GRACE WAS INCREDIBLE BUT ALSO BRITTAIN WOWIE
Grace’s Voice: “A horrid girl, a hussy!”
Grace’s hands: *indicating a swinging door*
I so love how Grace just absolutely throws herself into Marya’s character
HOW CAN ALL THREE S L A Y THIS MUCH HELP ME
I love all three of these extremely talented women!!!!!
*This* is why I love musicals better than just regular music. Just this song has more emotion than regular albums in general.
Practically all the comments here are about Grace, and deservedly so, but Denée is SO unbelievably perfect!
Every time I play this song, I rewind that “Marya Dmitrievna tried to speak again...” part over and OVER again!
It’s truly mesmerising how she nails the emotion gloriously AND sings it perfectly!
Grace McLean very clearly deserved a Tony Nomination for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical.
She deserved MORE THAN A NOMINATION! IT IS AN *_ABOMINATION_* THAT SHE DIDN’T NOT ONLY WIN BEST PERFORMANCE BY A FEATURED ACTRESS, BUT *_EARN THIS WHOLE SHOW A BEST MUSICAL VICTORY EVEN WITHOUT THE REST OF THE SHOW!_* AND DON’T GET ME *_STARTED_* ON THE REST OF THE CAST!

I love the way each of them rile themselves up in their own way (personal fave goes to Grace's body roll though damn)
GRACE MCLEAN IS MY WIFE
i would thank any of them if they punched me in the face

This has been playing in loop in my head.
I'm staring at the wall and Grace's voice is screaming at me
I've never been happier.
OH HOT DANG THE EMOTION IN THIS IS A LOT HUH
1:16 Grace's dancing is a blessing
TAG YOURSELF IM THE DRUMS
15 screaming goats I'm Grace McClean's left eyebrow
15 screaming goats I'm Graces hair
15 screaming goats i'm the hand thing grace does when she says hussy
I'm the hands cranking up the background music at the beginning
I'm the gold hoop earring
Why Oh Why Did Grace Mclean, Brittain Ashford and Amber Gray Did not get nominated for best featured actress in a musical?!!!
I wanna see Grace McLean do 'Eve Was Weak' from the Carrie musical.
GRACE MCLEAN PRACTICALLY TAKES US TO CHURCH
This song is so under appreciated god
i'd die for grace mclean
Y’all... when she said, “a hussie,” I felt that. Chills, y’all, chills!
DOWNLOADED THIS REAL QUICK THIS IS THE BEST SONG ON THE WHOLE ALBUM

I have been searching forever and have never seen such a powerful alto before in my LIFE. Thank you Grace McLean!! You're INCREDIBLE!!!
I am endlessly fascinated by the way her mouth moves
Their voices are insane. So freaking amazing
i'm crying this is scary and beautiful
HOW does Grace Mclean do THAT THING with her voice?!
now you listen to me when I speak to you...
"NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU"
"Liiiime flower wateeeer..." MMMM
Still haven’t seen what like flower water actually is. Is it like orange blossom water? Rose water? Who would drink a full glass of either?
Brittain Ashford may not have the best voice, but you can see how into it she's getting. I love it.
but she is so hard to listen to!!
I LOVE LIVING
i'm in love with how grace says "hussy" omg
Who else got scared at 0:32 while listening to this!? O.o
