Why are slaves white and Masters Black?? Why is Moses mother white and not Arab?? Why is Pharo's wife white and not Coptic/Egyptian/Arab?? And they did not make pyramids with slaves, that's what white romans did not Egyptians.
It's really weird, but I dreamed of producing a play just like this when I was young. With people acting as the water... I was in love with this movie as a kid.
I only remember Ofra Haza when I hear this song... Gone so soon. She dubbed this song in SEVERAL versions in the original DreamWorks film. If I'm mistaken, she sang "Delivery Us" in every language the film was dubbed in. Extremely talented! May she rest in POWER! 😔🖤🌹
It's just a little confusing though, because in the actual Bible, Miriam was cursed by God after being racist towards Moses' black wife and trying to usurp his authority.
@@rclark777 It's because in the movie narrative she had to play the mentor, so she had to be good from the start so it was easy for movie-goers to understand
I used to sing that to my horses when I was working in their pens, cleaning sheds out and such. They often would come near me, and rest while I sang. I sang that one, I also sang All the pretty little ponies and same thing.
I couldn’t sing it to my baby without thinking about being in that mummas position and just bursting into tears. The strength it must have taken to trust the universe to protect this tiny human and that you will potentially NEVER see them again.
Just watched the entire musical (you can rent/buy it digitally). Everyone must see it. It's magnificent. A triumph. An absolute 10 out of 10 without hesitation. Amazing! Incredible! WOW. It really, really, really is that good!!!! What a privilege to have seen it. Such a gift. Don't hesitate renting or buying it. Blown away! Thank you to everyone involved in this theatrical triumph. Just, WOW!
She apparently was quite a force of nature. The animators were so stunned by her beauty, talent and charisma, they drew Moses's mother to look like her.
“Deliver Us” is such a powerful and beautiful number! I absolutely love it. And I’m so glad this show is available to see digitally, I watched it last month and I was mesmerized! *I watched it on BroadwayHD!
…I’m not crying. You are crying. 😭😭 (Seriously the woman playing Yocheved is amazing. Right up there with Ofra Haza’s original performance.) Can’t believe I didn’t realize they turned the greatest 2D animated movie ever into a musical. I’ll have to check the whole thing out now.
This song sends chills down my spine every time I hear it. When the movie was released in theaters I cried when I heard this song; left the theater, bought the OST, cried again, and again when I watched it at home when they released the VHS, and I just shed a couple of tears while watching this video. LOVED IT and alway will. One of my favorite OST songs ever.
I loved the movie, and shared it with a friend of mine in college. She started WEEPING during the Hebrew part of “When You Believe.” It meant everything to her that they got that right.
One of the best opening numbers in a musical. I was so afraid that the stage musical wouldn't be able to live up to the pure magic the movie had, I'm thrilled to see that I was wrong. Great work to all involved really.
So beautiful 😍 In the scriptures Miriam asks if she can get a Hebrew woman to be Moses’ nurse, and Pharaoh’s daughter agreed. So she fetched her mother, and pharaoh’s daughter paid her to nurse Moses ❤
@@devannyblanco3309Though I haven't read the scriptures, i'd say it's presumably so Yocheved could still be with her son, and she'd have better work than the average Hebrew. Nobody had to know that was Moses' biological mother.
@@devannyblanco3309 because the Hebrew’s were their slaves, but obviously Miriam chose her mum so that she could be with her baby. The “nurse” would breastfeed and raise the baby, so it would fully uproot their life.
@@AislinnWolfsong Could be a simple mix-up, or just... DreamWorks had magic with this movie. Such a good cast, a good script and a great story that it does invoke the old Disney Magic we're missing nowadays.
Deliver Us is one of my favourite musical numbers from ANY musical. The fact that the same feeling and aura was brought onto the stage and portrayed gives me chills. I cant wait to see this.
Absolutely mesmerising. I was gutted when this closed on the West End and despite the announcement it was filmed I doubted it would ever get released. I’m so grateful that everybody who didn’t get the chance to see it live now can!
I can’t believe I had no idea this was even being made into a musical!! This was gorgeous and absolutely impeccably done!! Also, shout out to the casting director for the chorus for delivering us the most hunky, emotive bois humanly possible, bless you 😇🥰💕
This was beautiful. I love how the dancers became the river. And Yocheved's emotional vocalizations in this song always get to me. I'm going to have to rent the full version and check this out. Love the original movie!
That river dance was just incredible - a testament to the power of dance and live theater in general! The technical skill and passion on display is astounding.
I went to the theater to see this movie in 1998. (I also saw Lion King 2 in the theater that year) I was pregnant with my first child, and I cried like a baby. Hearing this brings me to tears again and back to the awe and wonder of the first time I heard this beautiful song. Now, other people can see and hear what I saw 25 years ago. Thank you and congratulations to the cast of this musical and for reminding all of us how incredible this and all the other songs are.
There isn't a time that I haven't cried watching the film or listening to the music, since I was a child crying with this film (I’m 25 now so almost 20 years crying every time I see it). I definitely couldn't watch the play 🥲 Ps: and yes, I cried watching this
the ensamble cast REALLY emotionally move me thru their micro interactions and their movements from the individuls being the walls around the mother to the water carrying the basket, i was in tearss
This was the first musical I've seen since moving to London right before the lockdowns. It started my love for musicals and my goal to see as many musicals and shows in London and around the world as possible ❤
When I was 40, I watched Prince of the Egypt with my 5-year-old son. Today, at 62 years old, I am still very emotional. It was an unforgettable and wonderful film. This show from the opening scene of the movie is also wonderful.
The part where the mom is singing to her baby, and then the river was always heartbreaking to me. But now that I’m older and a mom myself, her song made me cry my eyes out. I can’t even imagine the heartbreak of having to send your child somewhere else, but you have to so they can be safe. Absolutely wonderful performance.
I saw this on the opening day in London as it's always been my favourite film (animated and non-animated) and it was absolutely amazing. I love Musicals and this fit so well on stage! Will always be a treasured memory of mine.
Saw this in the West End on their day of re-opening (post Covid) in 2022. Very emotional all throughout and they had the best cast! I wish I can see them again in West end
This show is outstanding. So glad I saw it live. The ensemble are really what make this show. They are just incredible. The amount of work they do is just incredible
This takes me 20 years in memory when the movie was done. Have watched it endless times I remember how my 5 year old now 25 would cry when moses was taken by the river. Such emotional memories and now this..... brings tears to my eyes😢
Woooow now 34 and looking with my OWN children to the movie and musical and still heartaching with this scène…. I take da deep breath with a tear on my Sheek and take my Children with me
Every time I hear or watch this, I’m moved to tears! It’s magnificent! It transmits so much emotion through music, dance, and acting. Thank you very much for this! 🙌🏽✨ GOD IS GREAT ✨🙌🏽✨
True, but I saw in the description that you can rent or buy it (digital, professional recording)...and that's exactly what I'm doing right now. Can't wait to watch it now. Yay!@@radiokaikan1962
I always wanted my choir to do this song since it's so, so incredible! The vocals and instrumentation are phenomenal, and I'm so glad they did it justice!
Absolutely incredible!!! The river scene is pure magic, such an amazing reminder of the power of theatre to tell powerful stories. Somehow this captures the scale, suffering, longing, despair, and hope of the original story!!
Thank you, bless you for posting this The last few days have been very hard. Wounds from old traumas have been stirred up, feeling like they happened yesterday and the heartbreak has been intense and I have cried out to God to meet me in my pain and God, oh how like Him brought this in my feed, reminding me that He heard the cries of His children for deliverance, sending them Moses to bring them out of bondage.
There will be many, who click herein, that seven and half minutes is too long. Nope! Magical, Divine and Uplifting music is never to be found greater than this!
I also have a similar experience. My best animation soundtrack of all time. Very well put together. The stage performance is just breathtaking. Very emotional and this is as good as the animation itself.
I feel so honoured that I got to see this myself on the West End. One of my favourote childhood movies that I watched countless times. Everything about this production was absolutely incredible, a real piece of art. I fought off tears the whole way through ❤
Mannnnn I'm blinking back tears fr why am i just now finding out that this animated masterpiece is a musical in 2023!? The young actress as the role of Moses's sister was amazing!!
This production is excellent in every way. I would buy tickets just to watch this opening scene live. Deliver us! 🙌 This is my prayer for my beloved country Nigeria. We have suffered for decades in the hands of Corrupt and wicked leaders
25 years and they finally make the greatest DreamWorks movie into a stage musical.
The West End one was in 2020
i didn’t know they made a spirit stage musical, must be hard to teach horses to sing
So great!❤
Greatest movie*** 😉
Didn't Shrek had one in 2008?
This show deserved a bigger budget. For what the actors had to work with they did an amazing job
Why are slaves white and Masters Black??
Why is Moses mother white and not Arab??
Why is Pharo's wife white and not Coptic/Egyptian/Arab??
And they did not make pyramids with slaves, that's what white romans did not Egyptians.
Racism flows through your blood. disgusting person

@@shahrukhkhan8307 casting limitations
The way the dancers became the water and carried the basket around the stage was breathtaking! So good!
My thoughts exactly - what incredible choreography!
One thing I noticed in this production is it didn’t scrimp on choreography
Yes, truly! 💗💦
GLORY OF GOD - GLORIA A DIOS❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well she didn’t dub EVERY language but I think she did about 18 of them.
Did she die?
She also sang beautifully in The Sisters of Mercy's Temple of Love
@@Daisy30y03yeah 😢
The use of ballet for the Nile is so clever and beautifully well done.
I just have to say-THEY PICKED A GOOD ACTOR FOR CHILD SISTER HER PERFORMANCE GOT ME IN *TEARS*

Yes her Name is Mercedesz Csampai

If my 4 month old is upset, me singing River Lullaby is the only thing that will calm her. Deliver Us is such a beautiful piece of music.
