Broadway Unplugged: Ramin Karimloo Performs "Once Upon a December" from Anastasia the Musical

[@morganirbs2523]

I love how he has a difference between his Musical Theatre voice and his Performing voice! You can tell he grew up doing music before all else. Most Broadway singers today will try to sing pop songs but it just sounds overemphasized. Ramin is able to let go when he sings and enjoy the music as himself.

[@gomesbandrey]

We can still feel he performing, though. But it's more in a old country song style than musical theatre

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

It works incredibly well though.

[@biancaarcand4316]

Who could ever dislike Ramin? This man is an angel in every sense of the word

[@deadpurple7]

Bianca Arcand an angel of music♡♡♡

[@2awsomechicks323]

deadpurple7 you stole my reply 😂😭😭

[@danielhaire6677]

For a serious answer probably those around the world who can't look beyond his Iranian background. Which is a tragic mistake.

[@kyrieb33]

Ramin is my angel of music I adore with every fibre of my being 🥰

[@leimiralles8126]

I think those are just the same people disliking his videos. The numbers are quite the same with his other uploads. Which is weird because if they don't like Ramin, why are they following him still? Hahaha

[@Witherwings7]

When I first found out he was going to be in Anastasia I prayed he would cover this song! So beautiful, I'm sitting here weeping.

[@phoebegreaves4709]

Witherwings7 I'm from a small town in England and I had the good fortune of seeing him perform in late january in our local theatre with the broadgrass band!! The theatre was half full and he talked to us individually throughout the concert. I lived😍😍😍

[@Witherwings7]

I'm glad you got that opportunity! I've seen him perform with the band a few times as well. He's such a gentleman, isn't he? :)

[@phoebegreaves4709]

Witherwings7 he's a babe! He's so smiley!

[@Mycatmillie24]

Phoebe Greaves me too me too!! I'm from nottingham uk and saw him at the nottingham playhouse. My daughter and I were on the front row..it was amazing!!!! And when he started up "till I hear you sing" that was it..I think time stood still!!!

[@irun_mon]

Im still waiting he's singing stars from les miz :(

[@BeautyOnABudget]

Already liked it and he hasn't even started singing >_

[@willow143]

This makes me cry. His voice is one of the most freeing and consoulatory things I've ever heard. I still can't fathom that I got to see Anastasia on opening night, let alone go to New York. I hope for only the best in his career and wish upon meeting him again.

[@Toasty_Mr.Marsh_]

Willow 14 Youre so lucky😭😭😭

[@heatherwilmothmissoperagho5830]

Willow 14 who does he play as dimitri ?!

[@daisyk2196]

That’s an amazing memory to have! How beautiful.

[@FalseDisposition]

He has the absolute best male voice out there

[@tomgallowitz]

He and Christy need to do a duet of this

[@kiarettacoccinella]

tomgallowitz I'm thinking the same thing

[@Pastadudde]

Ramin is way too old and his voice isn't right for the character.

[@shoe7079]

Eamonn Deane he is gleb

[@cait100198]

Feels like he's recalling a blurred memory. Just like Anastasia! Oh Ramin! Such a great performer!

[@christophemae4ever]

I always loved that song but I can't believe how beautiful it sounds when Ramin sings it.

[@HaleyRadiant]

How I possibly missed this during the Anastasia hype days is beyond me, but I’m so glad a random deep dive brought me here! THIS WAS PHENOMENAL! 🙌🙌

[@kennethhirlinger9376]

Cannot get enough of Sierra, Anna and Ramin!! Encore, Encore! Encore!

[@opheliem.436]

I can't stop listening to this, I wanted to hear him sing it SO BAD and it's even more beautiful than expected! His voice at the end... It brings me to tears!!

[@JeppyAMV]

I'm so happy he did a cover version of this, but I would love to see him play it on the piano while singing

[@lindacarmignani1183]

Is there something that this wonderful man can't do?

[@meginmd]

No tbh

[@ScherazadezGypsy]

Marry me, apparently...

[@angelacarrera2616]

Read music notes😂

[@klaratichakova]

Incredible. Utterly, utterly brilliant.

[@lillyalbelbaisi4331]

his voice just gets me every time! he preformed in this beautifully when i saw him last night

[@mirkim25]

id love to hear him sing in the dark of the night!

[@CherryRedBanshee]

I'm pretty sure my heart just melted. Anyone wanna give me a ride to the hospital?

[@abbyh319]

I would but I’m dying rn so this is the last thing I’ll ever write

[@phantomphan873]

Dream duet: Andrea Bocelli and Ramin Karimloo

[@regina5135]

I don't know why it's just now that I find this gem but anyway, bless you Ramin! Such a beautiful and totally new take on the song.

[@christinewells-leddon9287]

The Angel of Music for this generation, Indeed...

[@sophiaelena639]

I didn't know i desperately needed this in my life. liked so fast

[@maysaaalikhan962]

Amazing!

[@eastcoastwood]

Beautiful

[@rosieposiesvt]

I got chills at the end. He's amazing

[@김상훈-k5c6k]

does Ramin really play the guitar along with singing the song in this video clip? his playing the instrument and singing are perfect... inconceivable.

[@opheliem.436]

I think he does yes, as he always plays guitar during his concerts :)

[@ajparadise6649]

I do not think it means what you think it means. 😉 (That is a princess bride reference in case you do not know.) Yeah Ramin is amazing and the best!

[@BooBop1987]

Ramin Karimloo is a very good singer and actor of all time!

[@Pandahluvr]

I FEEL EMOTIONS

[@cm_0011]

HE'S IN ANASTASIA? I might cry, I so wish I could go see him, one of my favourite movies-turned-musical, and one of my favourite broadway singers

[@alexs.3383]

Yes Ramin!!

[@kyrieb33]

My heart is melting more and more with every passing moment. Ramin sings this so perfectly his voice is just stunning and so rich in emotion and passion 😍

[@hyperspaceoddity7805]

One of my favorite singers singing one of my favorite songs.

[@buttercup645]

I loved that he played the pop version it👏👏

[@ezequielemilianovargas1372]

Damn it! Now I’m in love .....

[@pattyteusink7650]

Beautiful!!!

[@kevincrawford7355]

I just returned from the Kennedy Center and witnessed the Amazing production of Chess!! With the stunning performance of Ramin 🍃 what a shame it was only for 4 Nights ❤️

[@cait100198]

I can feel the frustration that the song wants to convey. WOOOOOOAAH.

[@SA95MW]

go ramin!!!!!!!!!!rock on PEACE and love from boston

[@friendlyneighborhoodfangir1956]

Sir I love you you are such an amazing person your voice is absolutely incredible

[@zinctong744]

I don't know what to say. Before him, this song to me is just some random beautiful song without any special meaning, but when he sings...I lost counting for how many times I've already looped it.

[@springdayisnottoday371]

what do yo umean without any special meaning!?!?!

[@viridianasanchez3423]

LOVE

[@Austenina1]

My God 😍😍😍

[@lizferreira7617]

oh. my. god. how is this man even real? 😍

[@BUROSIDAT]

Brilliant!!!

[@marcellodantedealmeidanune9445]

Linda interpretação de Karimloo!!!

[@S-Walt3r]

absolute perfection!

[@googlyeyes7]

actually cried, that was beautiful.

[@annasaphy]

Feck i love him

[@vec1723]

so beautiful! ♥♥

[@deedragongirl]

My wish has come true! FINALLY!!

[@laurensimendinger8887]

I'm literally crying right now.

[@cubancanary]

Reminds me of the “pop” version from the original movie. ❤️ He’s incredible, isn’t he?

[@TheHermione22]

this is perfection

[@lauriemelchionne8058]

i feel like i was just hypnotized

[@silverwilly]

I don't think he has the most powerful and controlled voice in Broadway/west end, but I do love that he could switch his singing style and fit right in. This probably contributes to his popularity as he can catch a wider group of audience......of course, that sexy face and incredibly buff body too 😏 not to mention, I've read from those who have met him, he is incredibly nice in person

[@SweetDreams84]

Beautiful 😍

[@mackenziewelch5918]

Amazing

[@purpurr707]

He could bloody well sing he alphabet and we'd swoon omfg . .. but to be real though this cover was amazing but i still think that a female voice makes this song much more haunting and lovely.

[@shyannlindsaey2862]

....nah.

[@汪培瑶]

Once upon a december--the phantom

[@AlcmeneUndertaker]

Well, hello AU of Gleb as a Romanov (I have a fan fiction that's co-written where Gleb has a twin sister and only remembers this song and when his sister is scared, he sings this to her)

[@laurensimendinger8887]

Where can I read this fanfic?

[@noegiard494]

Yeah same I want to read that fanfic!! I'm starting one where Gleb is older and has kids and how the memories of the revolution and of Anastasia affect him and the way he raises his kids as perfect communists...

[@gomesbandrey]

Nice key change!

[@catalina6024]

😍😍 Honestly I'm so sorry Dmitry but with this going on it's kinda hard being on your side...

[@sufisafavi5531]

Lovely Ramin jaan! ❤️

[@delaneykalathil]

WAIT I have been obsessed with Ramin for years, and I just now realized that I've been pronouncing Karimloo wrong THIS WHOLE TIME. I feel like everything is a lie..

[@Sissie131]

Delaney Duke Same here, sister ;-;

[@rileywodka511]

Something I didn't I think need but I know I do

[@iEtude]

OH MY GOD!!!

[@heatherwilmothmissoperagho5830]

I am a huge fan girl of Ramin Karlimloo

[@springdayisnottoday371]

screams internally

[@v4lentinaaaaa]

Spring Day Is Not Today screams externally

[@SynFull6988]

Why am I crying?

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

[@waynejeez5620]

The guy is beautiful.

[@ellie4503]

I don't know I imagined the phantom of the opera singing this as a lullaby to his son Gustave

[@carlovincent]

Angel of music you can't disguise yourself. LOL.

[@evefer18]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@grfulsted]

Awesome Ramin what equipment do you use to get such a clean sound. How do you black out the video background.

[@proudMudbl00D_6]

😥😭💔

[@_divinewinds]

So handsome and hot

[@alexiabathory]

Why he never make an appearance at 54 Below during Broadway Princess Party or something?

[@partykllr]

SHIT MY HEART-

[@mayas.3455]

dude... he lowkey messed up the lyrics around the first chorus (not judging, though), but MY GOSH this is gorgeous! And I've always known Ramin to sing the way he sings on stage as the Phantom, so this was... wow... that's all I've gotta say.

[@AmberJane1990x]

Is the show in the uk 🇬🇧 or the USA 🇺🇸???

[@opheliem.436]

It's currently on Broadway, but maybe it will go to London too :)

[@aerogirl246]

Amber-Jane Ezzat it'll be going on international tour by 2019

[@kiarettacoccinella]

aerogirl246 really!!! That awesome

[@daddyinthechat6041]

Ramin make woman grave for his voice and appearence. His voice, like a angel. + His body, was giftrd by god.= Pregnancy.

[@larraineseifert5029]

Aaaaaaaand I'm pregnant.

[@chevgauss1785]

@ Larraine Seifert: Me too, me too.

[@warpspeedchic6932]

I'm on the fence about this

[@noegiard494]

I don't believe in God I believe in Ramin Karimloo

[@meemaw593]

I have mixed feelings 🙂

[@glucose_guardian]

Kinda sounds like la nanita from the cheetah girls

[@beatriceparotina2185]
