@@fullmetalandtheflame438 The confrontation between Neville and Mary in Act II, just before "Hold On," kinda made me wonder how exactly Neville was treated by his parents, particularly his father. Probably has a lot to do with why he's so emotionally closed off most of the time. I'm not making excuses for him, but that kind of abuse is, quite often, generational.
I just CANNOT get over the gorgeous shimmering dissonance they get on the "ee" vowel right at the end. You can tell it was planned by the extra time they give it, with both of them emphasizing the "pointy" overtones, followed by the resolution to such a resonant open vowel for the last note. Absolutely gorgeous tone control.
Cheyenne Jackson is INCREDIBLE to be able to pull his presence so strong on stage with THE RAMIN KARIMLOO, that man's stage presence is HUGE and Cheyenne is pulling through. I love it. I LOVE IT.
The breath control of Cheyenne Jackson! He sings the entire last phrase without taking a breath before the final note...and looks like he could keep going. He makes it look effortless.
One of the most beautiful songs in musical theatre sung by two of the best musical theatre performers! Absolutely stunning! I really wish there was a pro shot of this show and an official cast recording. Ramin and Cheyenne are spectacular!
you know, it just doesn't seem right that two men can be so talented and gorgeous and be thrust together to give us this. yes, I loved the original - but dear Mandy and Robert could only dream of sounding(and looking) like this!
I was in this audience and I agree it was the definitive version. I will never forget that evening. Ramin and Sierra and Ben Platt and Cheyenne should do the revival as soon as Broadway reopens
One of my favorite songs of all time and these guys do an amazing job. I was in this show my sophomore year of high school and got sooo many jokes about my name. I do, in fact, have hazel eyes.
Strangely quiet, but now the storm Simply rests to strike again Standing, waiting, I think of her I think of her Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room Yet remains, she lingers on Something stirs me to think of her I think of her From death she casts her spell All night we hear her sighs And now a girl has come Who has her eyes She has her eyes The girl has Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that saw him happy long ago Those eyes that gave him life And hope he'd never known How can he see the girl And miss those hazel eyes? She has her eyes The girl has Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that closed and left me all alone Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes? In Lily's eyes a castle This house seemed to be And I, the bravest knight became My lady fair was she She has her eyes She has my Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that loved my brother never me Those eyes that never saw me Never knew I longed to hold her close To live at last in Lily's eyes Imagine me, a lover I longed for the day She'd turn and see me standing there Would God have let her stay She has her eyes She has my Lily's hazel eyes Those eyes that saw me happy long ago (Those eyes that first I loved so) How can I now forget That once I dared to be in love Be alive and whole In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes
If anyone wants to see the whole concert, Angie Rollins has it uploaded under the title "The Furtive Backyard". Looks like it was already taken down once, so download it while you can.
OMGGG and cheyenne jackson is the same person playing Hades in descendants 3 and but here he's singing a duet with ramin from phantom my brain can't load SJSJSBJSKSEBEBJWNW W
Those are the scores - I think they were just more concerned with making sure the cast knew the music than they were with it looking good. Really the only thing about this show that I didn't like, because it's distracting. :/
In a concert staging (which this was) the performers sit in chairs on stage and carry the score. Blocking, scenery, lights and props are minimal, and the orchestra is usually onstage rather than in a pit. That's the custom, even though the principals are nearly always "off book." The idea is that the music is the focus, not the spectacle, and you can mount some amazing shows without the investment for a full production. The Encores! series at City Center has been doing this for many years, and some great shows (like Chicago) have been (re)born to full Broadway productions as a result.
Omg like a dumbass i thought it had a special meaning for the plot/story and couldnt explain it even tho i had read the book and googled it. Im so stupid lol. I never thought that they would carry the score around on stage
Ok Cheyenne is giving a half ass performance here...first of all completely miscast...wooden and disconnected from his character...weak vocally here, very soft and lazy sounding...No inner conflict...and standing with his arms crossed why would a stage actor stand like that clenching a book brought a song and standing like a choir boy...he closes us off from him by crossing his arms and it’s a vocally weak performance.
Did u maybe even think that the director and choreographer told him to do that-_- ??? Or do u just go ahead insulting. They are actord . On stage and should follow what the others say
Not to mention. They had ONE WEEK to put this show together. Cheyenne sounds wonderful. I’ve watched this over a million times. And I am classically trained. His motivation is Lily never loved him. He can be portrayed as mopey. He’s an actor. I can almost guarantee as a musical theatre actress myself. He’s doing exactly what the the director said.

Absolutely one of the most magnificent male duets ever written.
"those eyes that loved my brother never me" gets me everytime.
I laughed so hard at this
I don’t feel sorry for him. He’s a monster in the musical. Truly a horrible person. Archie is a good man but Neville is absolutely horrible.

@@ellerose2320sociopath, eh?
Ramin is a gift of God
God sent us the male angel of music
Female angel of music is Sierra
Cheyenne is no joke either! This was amazing casting

This. Yes. Can listen to it over and over and over. Tension....and resolution.
Cheyenne Jackson is INCREDIBLE to be able to pull his presence so strong on stage with THE RAMIN KARIMLOO, that man's stage presence is HUGE and Cheyenne is pulling through. I love it. I LOVE IT.
This song is just so emotional for both of these characters. And these men crushed it! So beautiful
The breath control of Cheyenne Jackson! He sings the entire last phrase without taking a breath before the final note...and looks like he could keep going. He makes it look effortless.
How this musical has never been adapted for big screen is beyond me.
Did the chills ever stop? No.
One of the most beautiful songs in musical theatre sung by two of the best musical theatre performers! Absolutely stunning! I really wish there was a pro shot of this show and an official cast recording. Ramin and Cheyenne are spectacular!
you know, it just doesn't seem right that two men can be so talented and gorgeous and be thrust together to give us this. yes, I loved the original - but dear Mandy and Robert could only dream of sounding(and looking) like this!
I wish there was an official recording of this
Ramin is so freaking intense! It's like he's always on fire for what he's singing. That finale is incredible!
As soon as he started singing, I knew it was Ramin because I have heard him sing so many times.
I love how Ramin puts his hand to his heart in the song , it shows so many emotions , they nailed this performance 🙌
That violin part after “loved my brother never me” is amazing!!!
Never noticed it - thanks for pointing it out :)
RAMIN WHY ARE YOU SO AMAZING
2:38 my favorite part I cry every time
Man, I love this song! These videos are just making me want a Broadway revival of this show so badly!
a revival with the same cast, I can only dream!
Yes! The entire 25th anniversary cast was superb!
They announced it is coming back to Broadway in the 2018-2019 season
I thought my favorite rendition was Will
Chase and Steven Pasquale....but HELLO! of course all 4 of those men are amazing and GORGEOUS!
When the video started and i couldn't see their faces, I swore it was Mandy Patinkin reviving his role. Ramin sounds exactly like him.
um, no
I wish someone would upload the whole concert, this is to me the definitive rendition of the score!
It's here on TH-cam. Angie Rollins has it uploaded under the title "The Furtive Backyard"

Finally a rendition that comes close to the perfection that is Warlow and Quast!
Ramin and 25th anniversary!
This was a gift to see live for a number of reasons, but this was definitely a highlight number in a life of theater-going!
Chills from the first note to the last. This song is beautiful and I can't imagine it being done any better than that. Amazing!!
Strangely quiet, but now the storm
Simply rests to strike again
Standing, waiting, I think of her
I think of her
Strange, this Mary, she leaves the room
Yet remains, she lingers on
Something stirs me to think of her
I think of her
From death she casts her spell
All night we hear her sighs
And now a girl has come
Who has her eyes
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw him happy long ago
Those eyes that gave him life
And hope he'd never known
How can he see the girl
And miss those hazel eyes?
She has her eyes
The girl has Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that closed and left me all alone
Those eyes I feel will never ever let me go
How can I see this girl who has her hazel eyes?
In Lily's eyes a castle
This house seemed to be
And I, the bravest knight became
My lady fair was she
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that loved my brother never me
Those eyes that never saw me
Never knew I longed to hold her close
To live at last in Lily's eyes
Imagine me, a lover
I longed for the day
She'd turn and see me standing there
Would God have let her stay
She has her eyes
She has my Lily's hazel eyes
Those eyes that saw me happy long ago
(Those eyes that first I loved so)
How can I now forget
That once I dared to be in love
Be alive and whole
In Lily's eyes, in Lily's eyes
Omg thank u so so much for the lyrics. Like a dumbass i always thought they said "She has Lily's angel eyes"
Thank you as well for printing the lyrics. In hearing many versions of this famous duet, I still could not catch every word.
In this version he says ( those eyes that closed and left me)
@@UrielTheAngelOfLight that’s what I said right

I was there!! This performance gave me total goosebumps! Thanks SO much for posting!!
You're so lucky!
Best combo ever 🙌😥😪😭💚
I LOVE THIS SONG
Cheyenne Jackson acted as Hades in Disney Descendants 3. I love the chemistry
OMGGG and cheyenne jackson is the same person playing Hades in descendants 3 and but here he's singing a duet with ramin from phantom my brain can't load SJSJSBJSKSEBEBJWNW W
I actually prefer this performance to Mandy Patinkin's.
It's a very beautiful, touchy songs, lyrics, music and video.. all the best👍🙌❤💪😘💕
I love this song just for the fact that i have hazel eyes aswell lol
PERFECT
These guys are awesome! Wish the singers didn't have to push the tempo because the conductor's dragging so much.
This!
A good version but Philip Quast and Anthony Warlow nailed it back in the 90s. Theirs is the BEST ever.
I beg to differ Mandy Patinkin and Robert Westenbergs was the best
@@Mad_as_a_Hatter91 well if you like weak singers who dont hit their notes, then sure.
You are so right! No performance was better than Anthony Warlow and Philip Quast!
Tell me one flat note ramin hits in this video
I was lucky enough to see AW and PQ performing it in Brisbane in 1995 - I love this song but no one else comes close to them !
Thank you for posting this! I have been waiting for this a long time! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
3:08-3:09 that trumpet tho
3:02 the best part
Please share the "Quartet" scene from Act 2, if possible.
Thank you!
Andrey Kiselev yes please!!!
Check out version with Kane Alexander and Simon Gleason
It’s a bit strange listening to this song being a girl and having Hazel Brown eyes. I love this song though.
Makes me wish I’d gone to stage school and done things properly
Cheyenne AND Ramin?? Where have I been????
Imagine If they had switched roles?
Pleasently surprised by Cheyenne, idk what I expected but I almost prefer his voice in this
Was this concert recorded, or available for purchase somewhere? I'm going to die if I can't hear this whole performance
You got the quartet? I love that and haven't seen a Ramin-Sierra version yet

I wish they would have let go of the notebooks, i would rather see them acting this song than holding them! Just my opinion
If Severus Snape and Sirius Black had a duet… lol
Don't you mean Severus and James Potter? I know it's a little late but I was confused
The only good song from secret garden
How dare do u say that?????
"Come To My Garden" and "How Could I Ever Know" are some of the best
Bro, Winter's on the Wing is a BANGER fite me
