Aaron Tveit has always been a favorite of mine. He so expressive in his singing and can bring you into a moment with just a shift of his eyes. I remember watching "Along the Way" (I think that was the song) years ago, like very early in his carreer, and his emotional shift made me just decided he was the next Broadway God!
Aaron Tveit singing on utube
That’s the song that won me over to him too!
I just find it amazing that the first time I properly came across Aaron tveit was in Graceland basically a cop show! I loved that show but jeez he was wasted on it. When I first heard him sing I got chills!
Aaron is kind of my favourite part of the Les Mis movie. I know there are issues with that film, but he's amazing in it
So many problems with that film... Aaron is fully not one of them!!! ;)
Same. Aaron was so incredible
Aaron was definitely NOT a problem. The movie was wonderful.
wow! He's in the movie? What role does he play?
@@johannastromberg1224 He plays Enjolras, look up the Red and Black song
Aaron Tveit's voice is like butter. His diction is gorgeous. I'd love to hear your synopsis of his Roxanne from Moulin Rouge.
I love Aaron so much. He is one of the best, I have no doubt.
I would have loved to see him play Roger in Rent
they’ve actually said the same thing about forgetting whose voice is whose when they sing together!
omg thank you so so so much for reviewing/analyzing a song from Moulin Rouge, and more specifically an Aaron Tveit performance. I am so so excited for his Tony nomination (FINALLY!) I don't care the circumstances behind it :) And I have been a big Karen Olivo fan since In the Heights and the WSS revival. So yes this was one of the shows I was dying to see and was prepared to book tix for in March....and then we all know what happened :( I really hope it comes back with the OBC bc I need to see Aaron on Bway immediately and this must happen and there is no other way!
Yes, I feel like a lot of ppl hate on Aaron....mostly just cuz, and I am not entirely sure why. Bc he has so many fangirls maybe and is not seen to be as interesting and dynamic a performer? I dunno, but I've always been so in awe of his talent. Like you say, I always found his to be one of the purest musical theater voices, with a softness and brightness that was just perfect, plus the ability to act through the singing so evocatively. And his diction has always been *chef's kiss* So I am really glad you enjoyed his performance here - his and Karen's voices really do blend so gorgeously, I think they are a perfect duo.
Speaking of Aaron....would love to see you review performances from Next to Normal, either the 2009 Tony performance (when Karen won for Anita in WSS, btw) or perhaps from a bootleg. Love your channel so much!! xx
Haha. Wow. Is it just me, or can I actually feel you screaming this comment at your computer screen? LOL I love it. Thank you so much Loren.
@@MarcDanielPatrick oh lol is that a good or bad thing? Did I sound crazy?? haha now I am worried I came off as a psycho Tveit fan screaming at you from my keyboard! That was really not my intention. But that I am enthusiastic for this musical, your review of this song, and their collective Tony nominations is definitely true!
THANK YOU for FINALLY reacting to something with Aaron Tveit! Would you please react to something from Anastasia? This was another show that was adapted from a movie and Christy Altomare is absolutely amazing in it.
Aaron Tveit is flawless. He is brilliant at whatever he does. And he seems humble, respectful, all the Boy Scout things. WOW! The best of the best.
I love Aaron ♥ he's literally my favorite Broadway star
Or the song "Cousin's Cousin" from Ever After with Sierra Boggess... such a cute song
Saw this show in January and didn’t realize it would be the last time seeing a show live for a very long while. I’m so glad this was one of the shows I chose to see when I visited. The set, the cast, just everything. Blew my mind. I knew I’d like it but I had no idea how incredible it would be live. A MUST SEE!
I heard that they didn't have the greatest chemistry. What are your thoughts? I still want to see it for myself as I am a fan of both of them.
Ruth Marius I’ve seen comments going around saying that. In my personal opinion I found it completely the other way around. I thought their chemistry was insane. And all the people next to me were expressing the same thing at intermission:)
So happy you reacted to it and like Aaron and Karen as much as I do.
I would also really like to see your reaction to the version of "take me or leave me" of Aaron Tveit and Gavin Creel. You will not be disappointed!
Hmmm... great video suggestion.
I absolutely love Aaron Tveit!! I can't wait to see him perform again.
Aaron is my absolute favorite. Would love to see you react to his performance of "I'm Alive" in Next to Normal, or "Goodbye" from Catch Me If You Can. Such a powerful performance.
I saw it 3 times before it closed. This is the type of show you don’t walk to see, you RUN!!!
I saw this on Broadway last year! I absolutely loved it and hope they film it like they did for Hamilton so I can watch it over and over. Absolutely love this song and their take on it. They did so good.
I watched the TH-cam video of Aaron singing “Defying Gravity” about a hundred times. Although it is usually done by two females his high register made his version really memorable; check it out. I love “Moulin Rouge”; one of those movies which shocked me when I saw it at the theater with its mix of pop songs in a musical theater genre.
I love anything with Aaron Tveit in it. Of course, Les Mis is my favorite.
I started this video and ten seconds in had a good giggle. Your pronunciation of the french 'l'amour' on screen like the italian 'amore' but without the e means that in french you're actually saying "la mort." Which is 'death.' You said 'Death. Death indeed' like it was so touching -- which is of course darkly hilarious considering the end of this musical.
Saw this show and cast live in Boston before Broadway run. Was.... Underwhelmed. But, THE SETS! They are amazing, the second you enter the auditorium you are blown away by the sets.
This song always gives me chills. I NEED to see this! Ewan McGregor will always be “my” Christian...but this duo is INCREDIBLE!
I loved this performance!!
Omg that is so funny that you used to hate on Aaron Tveit....glad you changed your mind! I was so happy to hear you fanboying over him through the whole video, he's been one of my favorite musical theatre actors for years!
I love Aaron. I saw him in Catch Me If You Can when it premiered in Seattle and have been in love with him every since. 👏🏻😍
At 5th Ave???
@@MarcDanielPatrick Yes!!! Love that theater so much.
Marc, you are spot on. Love your channel. I too, can't wait to see Broadway re-open. I became a fan of Karen recently, but have loved Aaron's pure, pitch perfect and emotive voice for years. He sings with such passion and physicality , and he's proven himself as an actor over the years. Karen is a great beauty and really has a spectacular voice. Their duets are heaven and they sing as if their voices are intertwined. Thanks again for your tips also. I work in the music biz, not theater, and always remember your tips in real life as well. Keep the great vids coming.
NYC just ain't the same without Broadway . Be well.❤
Thank you so much for these kind words Carol. I appreciate it.
Moulin Rouge is the whole reason why I went to a show at the Moulin Rouge when I visited Paris. It’s definitely not the same as this lol but it’s an experience for sure haha
Aaron Tveit is incredible and I love him in this- and it’s my favourite song from the show. Could do something from next to normal? It’s a fantastic show, and he’s amazing in it
I 2nd this, love Next to Normal!
I'll take a look at it for sure.
@@MarcDanielPatrick Thanks!
I'd love it if you could look into doing something from Blood Brothers & RENT, you'll have covered all my favourites then 😀
I nearly screamed when this came up in my feed! I remember recommending it to you awhile back, and you actually did it!! I am so so so happy. Thank you for making my day!! :)
Yes, yes you did. Sorry it took me so long to get around to it. Thankfully the MR team recently released this video of them performing it, so I jumped on it.
@@MarcDanielPatrick Means so much to me!! Thank you, fellow theatre nerd! 😭🙏
I'm in California and God I really miss broadway. I've see about 5 shows in New York and will see the traveling broadway series when they come to the west coast but man I miss it.
Now you are making me want to watch the show when it opens this month!! I love the movie and can't wait to see it live on broadway!!
This is so beautiful I could cry. I’ve been anxiously waiting (since I was in theatre back in high school oh, about 100 years ago) for Moulin Rouge to hit the stage! FINALLY! Thank you for coaching so well, it’s a joy watching and listening to your channel. By chance, have you critiqued In His Eyes from Jekyll and Hyde? Carolee Carmello and Linda Eder.
Thank you so much Jackie! Appreciate the support. I haven't, perhaps I will have to take a look at it.
@@MarcDanielPatrick It’s a go to for when I’m in my musical feels. Enjoy! :)
This was going to be my next planned show before the shut down. I hope it survives the break and is still open next year.
I've seen it twice in Boston and once on Broadway. You will love it!!!
jealous!
Wow I love those guys:) Great reaction Marc!
Thank you sir!
Marc, I am so very, very happy you reviewed this performance. I don't know if you remember but I had tickets to see MOULIN ROUGE in April but you know what happened. Anyway, Aaron has the Broadway voice I love. He has room at his top voice and it is so focused, free and at times lyrical. I love how Karen responds to him. They are in love! I had spent quite a bit of money to see this and of course I have no regrets. If and when it returns to Broadway, this is a must see for me. Thank you so much! Again, I'll keep requesting you. Would love for you to talk about yourself so that your fans (at least this one) will have a greater connection to who you are. Please don't feel that you might come across as self centered. This is just a fan making a request. See it as being being a guest on a talk show. This review was exactly what I needed with all the stress of this election. Thank you again and have a good night.
Thank you so much as always Roberto. I did make a couple of Q&A videos in the past. I will do some again soon down the road.
@@MarcDanielPatrick
Thank you, Marc! I really look forward to learning about you.
What do you mean by lyrical?
Moulin Rouge was such a staple as I was growing up. I loved it so much. I'm glad it was brought to the stage. Everything I've seen of the stage version is gorgeous. I've also been a huge fan of Aaron Tveit and Karen Olivo for a long time so it's really exciting to see them onstage together. Also because Karen disappeared for awhile to discover other creative avenues before coming back to the stage so I'm so happy to see her again. Just to point out her name is spelled O-l-i-v-o. You put an extra I in the title and she pronounces her last name as Oh-Lee-Voh. Usually not a stickler but I thought it maybe helpful in the future! Also you posted this on my bday! What a birthday present :D
Dont apologize at all. I appreciate ppl pointing out my ghastly mistakes. Happy Birthday!
I love that version. They're both have amazing voices. Would you please do a reaction from the movie songs (especially your song and come what may)?
My plan is to perform this with my husband for our 5th anniversary! This is the perfect video to get ideas and help us workshop it! Thank you!
Please record it for us!
You should react to Bad Cinderella performed by Carrie Hope Fletcher. It's for Andrew Lloyd Weber's new show :)
This song just makes you feel so in love, even when youre like me and alone 😂
Have you seen the Out of Oz videos? Aaron does Popular and then he does Defying Gravity with Rachel Tucker...both are amazing!
Might just be because I'm so used to it but I really prefer the movie version. I like Nicole Kidman's whispery voice in the beginning of her verse. Maybe that wouldn't make as much sense on stage but I think it fits the moment/character.
Fully agree with you, I prefer the movie version of this song. The less polished voices (compared to the Stage version) of Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman add a visceral and more intimate feel to the song, that I buy more than this rendition.
It's always difficult to compare anything to its original, I hear ya.
@@MarcDanielPatrick As someone who reviews films adapted from fiction, I cringe every time I hear “The book was better.”
If you haven't seen the show yet, would highly recommend, saw closing night in Boston and was awed by pretty much everything!
Thanks for this video. I live and work in Montreal and had gone to NYC for a 48 hour, 4 show trip in March, with Moulin Rouge being the show we wanted to see the most. I saw two shows on March 11 (JLP and Emojiland). I was in the lobby at the Hirschfeld on Thursday, March 12 at 1:45PM, when ushers came out and handed us papers stating the show was cancelled. The rest of Broadway followed suit an hour or so later. To say I was devastated is an understatement. Aaron deserved Tony nods for both n2n and Catch Me if you Can. He is an amazing performer.
Oh wow, so close. Hopefully you'll get another chance when the theatre world opens up again.
Would you consider reacting to musicals you know, but in a diffefent language? Cuz you're talking about how they act and that's a universal thing for every role (:
Really enjoying your content! Just love it. Thank you
Yes, agree with first comment- I can hear my director yell: “Cheat out!”
Haha.
Don't know whether to hate or love you for putting out these reaction videos! 😜
Hate, because it makes me miss shows even more - or love because you remind me once again why I love and enjoy musicals so much... 😔
Reminds me that I still would love for you to react to this one here - Aaron in "take me or leave me" from Rent 😍:
th-cam.com/video/43gvHOOrFSo/w-d-xo.html
I would LOVE to see you do the Tony’s performance of “Wait for Me” from Hadestown!
Or anything from Hadestown tbh...
Oh this is one of my faaaaavourite songs ever!!! I haven't seen it in the theatre before but I've seen the film many times... Ewan McGregor is just perfection in it... I'd love to see how you compare him to Aaron! I've not seen this version before but it was excellent. I love how much emotion you show in your eyes when you watch these videos... and that sometimes you allow yourself to cry... as a very expressive and emotive person myself it's comforting to know that someone else gets so moved by harmonies and beautiful music like I do!🤣🤣
I totally agree, Ewan McGregor set the standard for this role. I, too, would like to see/hear a comparison of the two, Aaron and Ewan. I realize oneisoive stage and the other is cinema... but, Ewan's tone is simply mesmerizing.
@@billhagy1415 I mean can we just appreciate the RICHNESS of Ewan's tone when he sings this... my god... he is incredible!!!! So glad you agree!!!
aww, thank you so much. Appreciate that.
@@MarcDanielPatrick You're very welcome!!
Have you ever watched 'in the heights' becuase Enough and Paciencia y Fe are amazingly sung
They were very good !!!🥂💕
😘
there's an interview where one of them (can't remember which?) says 'sonically we're in the same place' + i think that really helps their blending, like you say
Aaron talks about it on Stephen Colbert and at aol build.
Oh how I love this!! Moulin Rouge is one of my very favorites. Please react to Lea Salonga’s version of Defying Gravity.
I love Aaron and Karen . I never want them to be replaced 😭
More Aaron Tviet PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!!
Moulin Rouge is my favourite ever film. I really need this musical to come to the West End in the UK asap! Whilst I absolutely love Ewan and Nicole as Christian and Satine, this is absolutely stunning and I love love love this so much. Aaron is amazing! Phenomenal voice! And that blend! Oooof! Yes! Pure chills! 💞 Thank you for another fab video x
Thank you!! :)
This was so good I loved it so much
I'd love to hear about your professional history, what you've studied, what shows you've done and where etc. I can't find anything online 😪
😂 the way you felt about Aaron is the way I felt about Karen O. I saw her on ‘In the Heights” ❤️I like her, but ‘Tick tick boom’ and her ‘Hamilton’ performances imho were flat. Anyways, she’s gorgeous here and her voice is flawless. Beautiful and very moving duet Thanks for this video!
You should check out karen olivo singing america from west side story. Its hilarious!
So much warmth between them
PLEASE do Hugh Jackman as Curly doing 'oh what a beautiful morning'
Or do his version of title song from Sunset Boulevard
Oklahoma? Wow, thats definitely digging back into the musical theatre vault.
@@MarcDanielPatrick haha in my opinion his performance is perfection
@@MarcDanielPatrick th-cam.com/video/ELEtTFK-_DQ/w-d-xo.html
PLEASE do react video
Hi Marc, BGT just filmed this AMAZING performance featuring musical theater shows, Mary Poppins, Phantom of the opera, and finishing up with Les miserables' "One day more". Cameron Macintosh came on after the performance and talked about the hope of reopening soon. It was Its definitely worth a watch (maybe a review 😉)
th-cam.com/video/XzOtv1fAFoE/w-d-xo.html
I think my favorite part was when Michael Ball (who is best known as Marius in his younger years, but is now playing Javert) sang "I fight with you" (Marius' part) to Enjolras, then resumed singing as Javert.
Great vid as usual! Could you react to Amber Riley in The Wiz Live! 🙂🙂
Can you please make more Aaron tveit reactions. Thank you very much for your reaction. I learned a lot from it. You're one of the best and it would be great if you can do a reaction to "Vivre" or "bohemian " Hiba tawaji from Notre Dame de Paris
Thanks! I'll do my best to get to those requests.
React to Prince of Egypt PLEASEEEEE 😭❤️
Is it bad of me to say even though I know its broadway and live and I love Aaron, Ewan McGregor makes my heart melt in the movie
Karen Olivo is a GODDESS!!!
This was on the line up of show I was supposed to see, but stupid COVID cancelled the rest of the season over here in LA. We just got the "updated" season for 2021-22 and it's not on the lineup. So sad!
Chin up, it'll return soon enough.
Great video 👍👍 Next please react to Steph J Block sing I’m breaking down from Falsettos
Thank you again for another video filled with your wonderful insight!
I was a HUGE fan of the original movie. I will say I absolutely love these two and the performance they give! However, I am not a fan of some of the changes made to the song itself, especially the ending. I loved the powerful ending on the line "Until my dying day", and this one just felt disappointing, kind of like it just drifted off. Maybe it's a case of which I'd seen first, or maybe it would feel better within the context of the whole show. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it!
Fair enough. When the original is so engrained in your head, it hard to hear something different. Brace yourself for when you listen to the Bway version of the Elephant Love Medley then. 😬
Hmm, curious, what do you think of Glenda and Elphaba's blending?
Hi Marc, I've watched all of your videos and I find your interpretation very interesting and enriching.
Maybe you can react to some newer stuff? perhaps something from Hadestown or Beetlejuice?
Thanks for the great content!
I will get to these soon enough, I promise.
Maybe someday you’ll come around to Jeremy Jordan someday too. ;) Could you do a react to Laura Benanti? Her technique is flawless and she’s one of the best female comedic actors out there.
You said "Death, death indeed" at the start. I think you had meant to say "Love, love indeed." :) Vowels matter in French almost as much as they do in singing.
Do Glee come what may! Darren criss and chris colfer sound beautiful
Love the voices and acting. Truly amazing. However, I prefer the way the songs were sing a bit better with Ewan/Nicole. This is one of my favorite musicals and have watched the movie lots of times so maybe I'm just too used to the way the songs were sung in the movie making the stage version sound odd. Regardless, I would still go see this and pay serious money to get up close seats.
Same here, I only started liking Aaron in Moulin Rouge. I guess, intentionally or not, he over-performed or out-performed his fellow-actors. Now I get it, this time he is matched with a phenomenal singer who's hard to drown by his talent..
Karen looks too healthy to play Satine. :D
So what?
That 'never turn your back' rule was largely because you simply could not project your voice well enough before mechanical amplification with that voice heading backwards,, and nobody can read lips that they cannot see those lips. Even Ethel could not have been heard if she is talking or singing through the background scenery to a back wall! The sound has to be going directly toward the audience. So often people are judging the predictable acting choices of bygone eras from clips, without understanding the practical limitations that drove them. Modern amplification allows for a lot more creative use of the stage space, and more realistic and varied acting choices because the microphone is always so close to the mouth wherever you stand or which ever direction your character might face. In this one respect, acting for stage is much easier than it used to be, when everything you did was driven by the need of the audience to hear you.
I love Aaron Tveit, but I have to say my husband and I went to see this show a couple months after it opened and were incredibly disappointed. They made every song just a juke box collage , took lines from characters to give to others, completely changing the point of the scene. The acting, choreo, and vocals were fantastic, but the writing as a whole was chaotic and messy.
I can’t bring myself to want to see this show because the music is completely different from the film. The film is all I know, so seeing something so completely different just doesn’t spark desire in me. I do love Aaron though, ever since I saw him in the Les Mis film.
Tuning in the duet part is so amazingly perfect with vibrato intensity. Last note, though - one would expect it to be longer and so,a short, last minute, crescendo was needed to boost its "cutting".
HIS singing is not as emotionaly involving as HERS. Good SINGING, good tuning but didn't fall from the chair (surely not classical to my opinion but very pop). His eyes where not "loving" enough: too serious. She, on the other hand, is on another level. Thanks for an another spot on video
Karen just seems so miscast here. Too aggressive for the role
Obviously a much larger scope issue than this video, but where is the push on Broadway to cast actors that look like real people? Or is everyone ok with it all being escapism?
I know it’s an unpopular opinion but, I prefer the film version. I love Aaron and his voice in this part, not a fan of Karen at all in this role, but the song feels forced and almost over performed. Whereas in the film it felt natural and almost spontaneous. (The same with The Elephant Song - don’t even get me started on that mash up).
Hmm. I do agree, its hard to get the original out of your head when you're so accustomed to it.
I really don't understand the love for this production or these performances. I saw it in 2019 and it was all glitz and glitter and zero substance. Songs shoved in for no good reason. More chemistry between Satine and the Duke than with Christian. Aaron and Karen are both excellent performers, so I dunno what happened with Moulin Rouge, but he was used as little more than a prop to the Satine and Duke show and she was this stromping boss babe take on Satine that made no sense. The music video here is way better than the live performance.
