Christy bouncing is adorable. I just can’t with her. 😭 Her energy is amazing. And Zach was bloody great. Just. Uggggh. 😭😭😭

[@Anailea101]

Okay I loved Derek as much as everyone else but how are y’all all gonna pretend Zach isn’t an AMAZING Dimitry??? Edit: I saw The show last night and Zach blew me away. Stop being so pretentious. He OWNED that role.

[@samanthatannenbaum3551]

I love Zach more tbh

[@Anailea101]

Sam T ngl same 👀 I loved Derek too though. I get to go to the show on Wednesday and I’m so happy since Zach is a bout to leave 😭

[@elven-magic-rules2356]

I saw Zach live, he was absolutely fantastic!

[@cafesandwednesdays]

Deadass I spoke to Zach at stagedoor twice and he's just so nice???? I love him???

[@xxwhispersxx2856]

@@Anailea101 Wait he's leaving now? Who's gonna play Dmitry now?

[@J3rs3y_G1rl]

Why can't we get a true orchestral arrangement of this gorgeous song? It deserves it.

[@BG-be8di]

I'm loving this song, and it sounds like a perfect duet between Dimitri and Anastasia; and this is not the end, but the beginning of a life together for Dimitri and Anastasia, as her grandmother said, after their wonderful journey and another one starting

[@raella]

i'm going to miss Zach soo much😢

[@judi7238]

Same. Cody Simpson could never.

[@xxwhispersxx2856]

@@judi7238 CODY SIMPSON? Crap Christy's head must be spinning from the constant shift of leading men lol.

[@judi7238]

@@xxwhispersxx2856 it's not really a constant shift its just she hasn't been leaving. Though Cody Simpson won't be there long.

[@elisebrown2986]

Christy Altomare reminds me of a 1990s worship leader

[@kanasanjm]

God damn it

[@nightwingman666]

Wow that was beautiful wish they had the whole performance maybe the camera guy had an off day. It may not have been sung in the movie but this song is as synonymous with Anastasia as ‘Journey to the past.’

[@eleechan9548]

Of course the song has been in the movie

[@nightwingman666]

Elee Chan but it wasn’t sung by any of the characters yet it fits the narrative of the story.

[@quinnbenz987]

well because it's not sung by any charecters and it doesn't fit the genre of all of the other songs in Anastasia, they don't have to include this.

[@hannahcrps]

nightwingman666 I went to the Broadway the exact same day they shouted this. They only did this once

[@hanneke3979]

I love those two together and I need more of Zach as Dmitri ♥️

[@laurenvalencia_6]

Just me but i can see and hear the lack of chemistry these to have. Christy and Derek had something special

[@themadraven504]

Forever hoping I’ll be able to see this show one day! It will be my journey!

[@pip1278]

I love how you can listen to this perfomance with your eyes closed and still, you know when Christy is smiling because you can hear it in her voice ... I don't know how to explain that but she is having so much fun that, just with her voice, she communicate that ! She really is amazing ❤

[@marym6298]

I absolutely love their attitude! They are so energetic and lovely! ❤

[@jcolorguard123]

Ima miss zach so much 😭😭😭😭😭 I love him as Dmitry

[@namemycactus]

honestly i loved this song sm and it was just in the credits lol

[@localbottlecap]

I love them so much oml They sound so good together I’m gonna miss Zach when he leaves oh god

[@jesjjen3]

Ugh Zach you will be missed so much 😩 I watched his performance 2 months ago and I want to experience it all over again

[@tiajade2068]

This is my parents wedding song, so seeing this really makes my day ❤️

[@christennaw2525]

😁😁😁 That makes my heart happy. It was our grad song and the song my husband and walked down the aisle after we were married.

[@71crm]

I don't understand why they don't have this song in the musical to begin with-I feel like this song would have fit in beautifully in that scene where Anya meets Dimitri on the bridge

[@JustJay]

Iconic! And I love Christy's face at the end.

[@Dreamin2Believe]

i'm gonna miss Zach so much omg i can't handle that he only has two weeks left

[@khadijasohailshafi2612]

No hate against Zach but I feel like Christy's voice was more in sync with Derek's than Zach's for this song. I wish they would have done it with Derek's too.

[@belle6177]

Khadija Sohail Shafi I know I am kind of late but Christy and Derek do sing it together.

[@antonellaromero_upc5944]

That is true, Zach`s voice is too rich I believe, while Derek and Christy`s are more alike and blend together better.

[@HeyItsSarah30]

ANTONELLA ROMERO DONGO yes! And Kathryn’s and Zach’s blend together better as well!

[@bonitokun3645]

I think their voice are a perfect pair for this. two people in different world.

[@catdia8545]

This is so unreasonably beautiful oh my goodness I love them!

[@lovefromisabel9223]

I'm going to miss these two so much! Seeing them live in August is what got me back into Broadway, and I've been totally obsessed with Anastasia ever since. Christy is an absolute darling and I love Zach so much (and before anyone comes for me, I love Derek too okay? bUT PLEASE APPRECIATE ZACH HE'S PHENOMENAL)

[@freeinfiction]

I’m obsessed😍😍😍 I’m gonna miss Zach as Dmitry!!

[@christabellevasquez3741]

This was literally a few days after I went to see the show! Wish I'd seen it! haha

[@maggieobersat3861]

That was so cool! I wish I could see it! It has changed my life, even without seeing it! I live in Texas, and I can't afford to go to the show in Austin, partially because they ran out of spots- and I checked in the Spring! Thank you for reaching my heart!

[@juuliabarcelos17]

Their voices together is something outwordly. Beautiful!

[@abdramaqueen15]

I love how excited Christy gets, she's so wonderful!

[@guitarlover121618]

It’s wonderful to see them perform this. Both of them have great voices. It’s making me reminisce of my childhood when I used to always watch the movie, but I do wish that they would have had Derek sing this with Christy instead.

[@foodie2525]

They're just so amazing!

[@guinbrew8541]

They sang it on my birthday last year ❤️

[@princepeterwolf]

I am getting the exact same problem I had back when Sierra Boggess and Norm Lewis co-started in Phantom, which is: you have two great professionals, two great actors and singers with extraordinary talent, and who in real life share an affectionate bond for each other, but on stage there's no chemistry and the magic of the show is lost because of it. Allot of the magic of this show relied on the amazing chemistry of the protagonists (Christy and Derek), and sadly it isn't here anymore in my opinion.

[@lonelylittledot]

Christy is such a cute smol bean

[@choygabriella]

Love herrr

[@katcastineiras357]

Am I the only one who prefers Derek as Dmitri? And prefers his version of the song?

[@moolystark]

Me too! I think Zach is good, but I love Derek so much!💖 Derek and Christy are great partners. Like Carrie and this are both so good with them. I wish this was on Spotify!(with Derek)

[@katcastineiras357]

Molly Forster I used this website to download Derek and Christy’s version of this song cuz it’s on KZbin from when they performed it at the Broadway Princess Party. I listen to it all the time lmaooo

[@katcastineiras357]

Zach is very talented but I can’t hear him as much as I hear Dmitri over Christy. His voice isn’t as deep/manly/powerful as Derek’s too. Idk how to explain. It’s just really different. I picture Dmitri as literally Derek because him and Christy blend but you can still hear HIM and his voice is deep and powerful and manly and Christy’s voice is ethereal and powerful and that’s how I see Anya and Dmitri. I’m sure Zach is great but I just don’t get feels like I do with Derek as Dmitri.

[@yutassmilehealsme6572]

Nope 😭

[@moolystark]

Yeah! I listen to the Broadway Princess Party version all the time too😂 And I agree. I think Zach is a good singer, but Derek and Christy were such a great fit, as actors and singers.

Zach isn’t a bad actor, but it’s so hard to watch him when he’s by Christy cause she just shines (like Sue Snell😉)
