Lily's eyes - The Secret Garden 25th Anniversary Concert

amzn.to/2gaeAE6
Ramin Karimloo - Archibald Craven
Cheyenne Jackson - Neville Craven

[@pamgalloway]

Absolutely one of the most magnificent male duets ever written.

[@kabiraltaf]

"those eyes that loved my brother never me" gets me everytime.

[@ellerose2320]

I laughed so hard at this

[@fullmetalandtheflame438]

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.

[@roxbuchanan6357]

@@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.

[@wendyhughes-garcia9016]

Cheyenne is no joke either! This was amazing casting

[@cypherfunc]

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.

[@tylerwycoff1233]

This. Yes. Can listen to it over and over and over. Tension....and resolution.

[@amikireicraftstore]

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.

[@paulwhittemore4309]

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.

[@rebeccadittman6350]

This song is just so emotional for both of these characters. And these men crushed it! So beautiful

[@fullmetalandtheflame438]

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!

[@jakethewoz]

Ramin is so freaking intense! It's like he's always on fire for what he's singing. That finale is incredible!

[@rilynceleste]

Did the chills ever stop? No.

[@mystery1317]

Man, I love this song! These videos are just making me want a Broadway revival of this show so badly!

[@johnjungkook2721]

a revival with the same cast, I can only dream!

[@mystery1317]

Yes! The entire 25th anniversary cast was superb!

[@ilanaatwater8826]

They announced it is coming back to Broadway in the 2018-2019 season

[@jkrfan7]

I wish there was an official recording of this

[@jessicabeck7302]

That violin part after “loved my brother never me” is amazing!!!

[@lianelonergan8215]

Never noticed it - thanks for pointing it out :)

[@ajparadise6649]

As soon as he started singing, I knew it was Ramin because I have heard him sing so many times.

[@Maggie-fz8ol]

I love how Ramin puts his hand to his heart in the song , it shows so many emotions , they nailed this performance 🙌

[@erinwhewell857]

RAMIN WHY ARE YOU SO AMAZING

[@austinburrowes8611]

Ramin has to be one of the best vocalists alive

[@jgrado3]

How this musical has never been adapted for big screen is beyond me.

[@princepeterwolf]

I wish someone would upload the whole concert, this is to me the definitive rendition of the score!

[@AStageForTheKingdom]

It's here on KZbin. Angie Rollins has it uploaded under the title "The Furtive Backyard"

[@53mjh]

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

[@mayapost4549]

2:38 my favorite part I cry every time

[@lillianward2810]

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.

[@maestromuffin1]

I thought my favorite rendition was Will Chase and Steven Pasquale....but HELLO! of course all 4 of those men are amazing and GORGEOUS!

[@ashleebenedict6523]

Ramin and 25th anniversary!

[@fatheranthony4pope]

Finally a rendition that comes close to the perfection that is Warlow and Quast!

[@williampacholski8398]

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!

[@gordongraham7]

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!!

[@suhseal]

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.

[@maestromuffin1]

um, no

[@shpgrl1026]

Wow! So beautiful.

[@tinawilk]

I was there!! This performance gave me total goosebumps! Thanks SO much for posting!!

[@AStageForTheKingdom]

You're so lucky!

[@maestromuffin1]

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!

[@noamont9936]

I LOVE THIS SONG

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

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

Omg thank u so so much for the lyrics. Like a dumbass i always thought they said "She has Lily's angel eyes"

[@markmh835]

Thank you as well for printing the lyrics. In hearing many versions of this famous duet, I still could not catch every word.

[@kafem57]

A good version but Philip Quast and Anthony Warlow nailed it back in the 90s. Theirs is the BEST ever.

[@Mad_as_a_Hatter91]

I beg to differ Mandy Patinkin and Robert Westenbergs was the best

[@solarmaru49]

​@@Mad_as_a_Hatter91 well if you like weak singers who dont hit their notes, then sure.

[@sarahrobinson8482]

Why does everyone carry a notebook?

[@jessaminegreer8018]

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. :/

[@thomasmneff]

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.

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

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

[@alexanderzamora5930]

Did you record a bit of earth? Please post.

I wish they would have let go of the notebooks, i would rather see them acting this song than holding them! Just my opinion

[@cambopalpatine2185]

The only good song from secret garden

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

How dare do u say that????? "Come To My Garden" and "How Could I Ever Know" are some of the best

[@lianelonergan8215]

Bro, Winter's on the Wing is a BANGER fite me

[@eliw.7226]

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.

[@NOONE-cd4gu]

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

[@milliesee4814]

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.
