Episode 2: Royal Misfits: Backstage at ANASTASIA with Christy Altomare

[@sophiaswan385]

"Do you think that's weird?" "I don't know, he always comes in here & touches your stuff."

[@kyliehena]

Ramin still caring about the candy while on vacation... loRd

[@gingerisevil02]

Kylie Kim that part cracked me up! 😂 he needs an intervention!

[@buckybarnesnoble]

tbh i'd probably did that too if i were him 😂

[@isabelalzateestrada]

The phantom of the opera is there in your candy closet.

[@bitty4994]

Forget shipping him with Sierra or Hadley... His real love is candy and only candy

[@alcxoltol]

9:19 I died 😂 "That's me?!" "I don't know how I'm going to do Crowd of Thousands now." I love them both so much. This friendship is everything

[@Niqhtmusic]

wtfxndoms “I’ll see you in your bedroom!”

[@auxiysuscosas]

I'm totally not crying because of Christy and Mary Beth's relationship, nope, totally fine...

[@ryleigh2723]

Auxi Morata Alegre same

[@madilynbeesley8991]

I KNOW ITS SO SWEET ;w;

[@basketoffruit4485]

Makes me want to buy orange blossom perfume, even though I don't even wear perfume

[@sinclairzz]

this is the most wholesome cast ever omg

[@Mina_rose17]

"Where are you??" - "None of your business!" Ramin puts me into hysterics 😆😆

[@gingerisevil02]

He's in these videos as little as possible! Like what the hell! I want to see more of his character!

[@IAmNotNicolex]

Derek while John and Christy were arguing about switching massagers: "Peasants."

[@mollykotzin359]

dEREK KLENA dear god how cute can he be

[@sarah-g-t]

“I take offense to that christy, I’ll see you in your bedroom”

[@thatsnotmynamee]

I'll see you in your bedroom and sing a crowd of thousand.

[@Bat-Addicted-Loony]

Did I see that wrong or does Mary Beth Peil ACTUALLY have a candle burning in front of a picture of the real Anastasia? Should I prepare my heart for breaking right now or...?

[@musikmadchen3]

Thanks for picking that up - I didn't notice it the first time, but yes, you are right. My heart is breaking right along with yours.

[@lilliecoats]

yes! its a colorized version of this www.google.com/search?q=anastasia+romanov&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiMzZipxo_fAhWLct8KHTk7CccQ_AUIDigB&biw=1366&bih=626#imgrc=8fqsDW7atJCGvM:

[@talulahsafir]

John: oh this is so pretty *rubs face on fancy handmade dress worth $$$* *casually and nonchalantly leaves dressing room*

[@Niqhtmusic]

Talulah M. LOL

[@mystery1317]

Last time I was this early, the Romanovs were still alive

[@PhoenixJohnson29]

Paola Rivera 😂😂😂😂

[@tsunadefan001]

its been almost 100 years lol

[@mystery1317]

It's literally been a century

[@flamevix]

You very likely didn't even exist.

[@EmilyJohnson9]

too soon 😭

[@jordanryanfilmmaking]

SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE!!! The mean girls reference was on point

[@eyesofadreamer5276]

the fact that Mary Beth has a photo of the real Anastasia in her dressing room with candles lit around it . . . . . . . . . . I'm not crying, you're crying!!!

[@mayme4743]

CHRISTY AND MARY BETH'S RELATIONSHIP 🥺🥺 Also the offended “I’ll see you in your bedroom!” And the sad “I don’t know how to do A Crows of Thousands now.” was adorable 😂

[@Epiphannie1]

Christy is so so pure and kind. She seems to have given an open invitation to her dressing room, she buys the cast treats, she plays with the kids...she could so easily curl up and stay to herself backstage but she is truly the people's princess. She seems so sweet!

[@writerspen010]

Last time I was this early, Rasputin was still in the musical :0

[@MABACTS]

omg

[@raymondsmith657]

*_O O F_*

[@stephpiano2908]

THIS COMMENT WINS EVERYTHING

[@makaylasmart01]

hahaha what

[@lexibassin5849]

writerspen010 I'm dead

[@EatRainbowsNbeHappy]

How are they so calm between scenes as if they're not going on in like 2 seconds, they're just chilling playing games

[@luvhoneyyy]

“Do you think that’s weird?” “I don’t know, he always comes in here and touches your things” he said that so calm and with such a straight face I can’t 😂

[@melindayang4718]

I wonder if we're going to get a ramin cameo of some kind in every episode. Last week it was "secretively" taking candy and this week it was a FaceTime call.

[@eringracecazad]

We need more of Ramin in these vlogs! And Hadley... he's just so adorable.

[@melindayang4718]

Hate to say this, but Ramin's family already returned to the UK. I followed hi on Instagram. However, Hadley appears in a couple of vlogs called Vlogger 24601 (in case you didn't know)

[@eringracecazad]

Yeah. I've watched those.

[@meatballsrule6]

Derek Klena's little brother goes to my school and I actually saw him for the first time today and I'm legit so excited and shook

[@no.4891]

Kassidy Flowers what school do you go to?

[@PolyBiBadger]

Kassidy Flowers omg

[@jenniferlee9577]

Omg whattt

[@stateofgrace03]

omg that’s so cool-

[@corinnestroup5607]

I saw the show at the Wednesday matinee last week. My friends and I brought Christy Reese's cups to make up for the candy Ramin stole. We met her at the stage door and she's honestly the sweetest person ever. She is a real life princess.

[@regina5135]

9:59 the hair supervisor (so sorry I forget her name): "There's always a song for everything." Christy: "Isn't that the way life's supposed to be?" this is why I love Christy

[@missshelbayy]

THE MUG HAS ME DEAD

[@bella-mccord]

right? I need one in my life lol

[@kyliehena]

9:35 "I'll see you in your bedroom" hahahaha

[@PolyBiBadger]

Kylie Kim Derek wants to be alone with Christy 😉😆

[@brittanythompson580]

Bellatrix 24601 he's talking about the next scene

[@PolyBiBadger]

Brittany Thompson I know, I was just joking.

[@grangerdisney4290]

"How am I supposed to do 'Crowd of Thousands'?"

[@psyche_therainsilk]

BRO I HAD THE SANE THOUGH LIKE SIR- MY JAW DROPPEDDDDD. I GOT THE REFERENCE BUT THAT WAS CRAZYYYYYY.

[@caraburns4454]

Christy seems so sweet. I love her so much!!! My dream is to be Anastasia like her!! She's so cute

[@PhoenixJohnson29]

Cara Burns same. I want to meet her sooo bad now

[@Chloe.Allen13]

Brenna J. She's literally an angel. Like probably the kindest person I've ever met. She took forever to get through the stage door because she gave each person so much attention and made sure everyone felt appropriated.

[@PhoenixJohnson29]

Chloe Allen I hear she walks up to everyone and hugs them. I'm one of those people that hates being touched by random people (and even some family members) but I wouldn't mind if Christy hugged me because she's a freaking angel ❤️

[@JeppyAMV]

Brenna J she does hug everyone. Honestly Christy is the sweetest person I've ever met. The fact that I'm not a very huggy person didn't mind being hugged by her.

[@Chloe.Allen13]

Brenna J. When I went she didn't hug everyone, she hugged me though haha. But like the moment you compliment her or say anything remotely flattering she gets all gity and excited and gives you a hug. She's adorable.

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

I loved how insulted both Christy and Derek were (I wanna know how Crowd Of Thousands went down after that! 😂😂)

[@gingerisevil02]

Meghan Robertshaw her sad and hurt face lol. Like she worked so hard on it 😂

[@Niqhtmusic]

Meghan Robertshaw Kara Lindsay newsies trash?? 💜😃😃😃

[@chloemohnach615]

aww i just realized she hangs out with the kid who plays alexei. “who’s your best friend?” “my little brother alexei” 😭😭

[@itsevie7865]

DONT DO THIS TO ME 😭

[@racheldully]

I want backstage shorts on netflix, and all are made exclusively by Christy Altomare

[@kayehn]

lol, John Bolton, you do you - you'll make a great Anya one day!! 😂😂😂

[@catherinekubick298]

Christy is an actual angel omg she's so sweet! Loving the vlogs so far!

[@Koolkitty_9]

7:33 I love the real life Anastasia photo right there with the candle lit a sweet gesture to the real Imp

[@BrookeInProgress]

I appreciate the French numbers joke 😂 I also love Christy and Mary Beth's pre-show ritual! So sweet 🍊

[@sarahturner4148]

I can't believe I missed Derek faux-storming out with "I'll see you in your bedroom" for Crowd of Thousands, I'm dyiinnnggg 9:34

[@a.person4761]

6:05 Christy was dancing to the death scene of the Romanovs💀

[@SoRandom1228]

9:38 "I don't know how I'm gonna do Crowd Of Thousands Now" lmfaooooo

[@jacquelynnguyen3091]

I like how after the sand part, Christy is just like “I don’t know how I’m supposed to do crowd of thousands now.”

[@erinreneeerusso]

why is john bolton literally a legend

[@alexs.3383]

John really wants Vladastasia to be a thing!

[@alexs.3383]

That tension between John & Christy ... Haha they should really just make the princess Anastasia dress for John !

[@katiecox4674]

@@alexs.3383 They really should

[@ipizzippy]

Mary Beth is a class act.

[@k1tkat-kate]

John wants to be a pretty princess....I don't blame him. Those gowns are gorgeous!

[@mdiallo07]

Watching this makes me wonder how much time they have in between scenes to do this!! I saw the show not too long ago and the most amount of time Christy was not on stage was about 10 mins, so I am curious to know if this is just edited to seem longer than actual timing. LOve watching these behind the scenes activities by the way. Loved the show and the actors, can't wait to see it again.

[@lanikwan2474]

mdiallo07 I think Its done over the span of several shows

[@xtyna100]

mdiallo07 awesome isn't it? Whenever I've been on plays I tried to be as close to ten stage as possible and super attentive even if it takes lots of time for me to be on stage, guess that's why I am super amateur and they are the best!!

[@minsunkang7264]

mdiallo07 Well, this is filmed before, during, and after each show over the span of a couple days, and Christy gives us a lot of great footage😀 Also I think Christy only has one break, in act 2, from Mary Beth's part all the way through to the countess and the common man.

[@mdiallo07]

Minsun Kang oh! You're right! That was a pretty long number, maybe one of the funniest scenes in the show.

[@PhoenixJohnson29]

Minsun Kang also the Prolouge in the beginning

[@lindseyk.25]

Zach: that's Molly, rushing Molly: we don't snack here at Anastasia Zach: we snack alot 😂😂😂😂

[@morvenrenfrew4581]

Would LOVE to see more a of a vocal warm up with full cast, and/or costume wardrobe xx lotsa love

[@newtromantics4790]

I adore these. Also "I don't know how I'm supposed to do crowd of thousands now." FAVES 😍❤️ -m

[@melissamaatz4707]

"I'll see you in your bedroom" 😂😂😂

[@melissamaatz4707]

Love the vlog😍😱🔥

[@poppyameiIa]

um, mary beth, an known sweetheart? i loved that pre-show ritual, so touching!!

[@kayehn]

literally watched the first episode every day until now. I believe I'll watch this one twice everyday until next week. 😁❤️

[@kileyslone2762]

ksarn7 ikr I'll keep watching both of these until the third one comes out

[@alexs.3383]

"My ears go that far out!?"

[@BOOM_TSARAT_TSARAT]

7:32 Oh look at that, paying of respects for the grand duchess anastasia herself. That was lovely!

[@Niqhtmusic]

I love when Christy just dances to the last dance of the Romanovs lol

[@MundodePetit]

I Just can't figure out how relax they are between the scenes, they are like all the time in stage, and changes look so clicky. In my case I was freaking out to change me as fast as I could. Anyway, I love this vlog.

[@onpointbooks6568]

The scream of excitement that left me when I saw the thumbnail. I love these vlogs!!!

[@aliciaf1214]

Loved when they made Derek ' s face, that was so funny!

[@beccasbeauty22]

Literally one of the purest people on this earth omg ❤️❤️❤️

[@SureFireShannon]

I met Christy at the stage door a couple weeks ago. She gave me and my group AMAZING advice on being a working actor in NYC. She's so genuine and down to earth, and truly inspiring to be around.

[@xtyna100]

Shannon Harris what did she say?

[@sarahalmeida8580]

QUEEN

[@alexs.3383]

They're all so funny & cute 😭💕

[@dioarchangel6249]

The bond of Christy and Mary Beth in 5:35 is so cute! They're how I imagine Anya and her Grandma bonds.

[@sydneyyoung3]

I love how much you interact with the kids backstage. It's so nice to see!

[@JacquiClaudi]

I get happier overtime I watch these now!!! Christy is so sweet, precious, and perfect!!!

[@bee-ep9qz]

These episodes are so wholesome and hilarious! I laughed when Christy walked into Mary Beth's room and the scene ensued. lmao these people are all very humorous

[@taylorcpomeroy]

Derek: “alright I’ll see you in your bedroom.” 😂😂😂

[@sarahn.3074]

Yay another update, I've been looking forward to this all week! Ramin seems very concerned about how much candy is being eaten while he's gone. Also, where can I get that coffee mug?!?

[@sarahmoran8664]

These remind me so much of Laura Osnes' Cinderella vlogs!

[@morkie98]

John Bolton as Anastasia! Coming soon to Broadway!

[@jakebrantley8889]

"I don't know how I'm gonna do a crowd of thousands now......"

[@dreamersprosperx3]

I love the perfume thing! That's so cool!

[@JeppyAMV]

LET JOHN WEAR THE ANASTASIA WIG

[@a-bittersweet-tragedy0203]

Mary Beth and Christy’s dynamic is literally the cutest

[@BeautyOnABudget]

Christy, you are wonderful! I think we all knew that but I love how much thought you put into the vlog, the "candid" moments and just what a genuine, warm person you are. I love that you're taking in every moment of being in this show, how you spend time with the girls, and how you take nothing for granted. Can't wait for the next one(and to see you in the show next month!!)

[@grangerdisney4290]

I love Christy with all of my heart and soul and every fiber of my being. What am amazing person.

[@felixcatta7501]

Zero thumbs down- exactly how it's should be!

[@KristinaLopezWrites]

Anya is officially in the Disney royalties so...make room, girlies! 🤗💜

[@abigailford9032]

I SCREAMED WHEN ZACH SHOWED UP ON THE VLOG

[@lika0013]

Christy is such lovely girl!!!! She's amazing, so down to earth and character!!!!!💕

[@mariavictoriajaunsolo5278]

John is a Fanastasia for life!!!!

[@strabababerry]

Christy is my role model ahhh she's so sweet and her voice is outstanding!!

[@picabritanica2811]

I love this whole cast, so many beautiful hearts! I couldn't stop grinning watching this.

[@ph2913]

I've always wondered if that red v-neck tank-top is Christy's favorite shirt cause she wears it a lot

[@raechelewhite7788]

These vlogs have brought me so much joy!

[@RoJoFeli]

THEY FINALLY GOT THEIR NECK MASSAGERS XD

[@ladydarling1]

Rochelle Feliciano does anyone know what brand they bought?

[@stephpiano2908]

They're scary as hell tbh, they look like fucking aliens swimming around in there

[@britneyspears5727]

they look like the ones they sell at brookstone, check it out on the brookstone site

[@paigekent2940]

She's so PURE

[@minsunkang7264]

9:52 Yo they just randomly break out into song in perfect unison😂😂

[@emilymorgan909]

This is the sweetest thing ever ❤️❤️ this might be the only Broadway vlog series that I will rewatch later

[@reesedziendziel2476]

Rewatching these vlogs and now Zach is Dimitry and he’s so great 😭❤️

[@melissamarshall4597]

This is the best present I could possibly get the day before my 21st birthday!!! 🎂🎂😄😄😄😄 Love ya, Christy!!!

[@venusplease6501]

MARY BETH MY HEART IS SO FULL

[@isnay2003]

These are absolutely the best Broadway behind the scenes video's that have been produced! Outstanding work Christy and team!

[@RissaEbert]

My heart has melted. These vlogs are my favorite things.

[@CarlaHowe.]

I honestly don't know why it's taken me this long to watch these.... But I am not afraid to admit that I cried during this episode! Anastasia is one of my favorite animated movies ever! When Mary Beth Peil was with Christy... I cried... When Christy was gushing about working with her, I cried... I cried after watching this episode because what a way to earn a living!!! Doing what you love!? That's a dream come true!!! Especially when it comes to Anastasia! *sigh*

[@potato.pancake]

I love the kids they’re so adorable lol they’re living the life...

[@romanegence5092]

I’m always so nervous when I see them having fun and playing games backstage DURING the show because I’m that one girl who’s always late on stage and has to run through the whole freaking theater to get to the wings on time

[@laurenconrad1799]

This is adorable. This the cutest of all the Broadway vlogs.

[@quinnbalz7082]

I need multiple episodes per week! Once is not enough! Love this show so much!!

[@Jmtracey]

This vlog makes me endlessly happy.

[@anneliese697]

those little girls are so lucky to be working with christy and derek,,, oh my goooshhhh

[@Chromolume]

I absolutely adore that Mary Beth Peil corrected her grammar!
