Literally saw this today and this was a standout moment from the show. When I realised Hester was talking about their own love I was floored, so emotional. Christian's subtle performance is a true testament to his talents- Hester became my favourite character

@@Rhiannonhartley I saw a clip of Jack's rendition (who played Hester in the original cast) and they both have different takes on her, their performances aren't the same

I’ve seen the show five times, witnessed Jak cry during this song in his final performance, and Christian’s taken on the role doing it so beautifully. It’s an emotional change of tone towards the end of Act I, and I love it. It brings tears to my eyes every time. Hester, who served our nation, we love you.

I saw the show in the theatre a few weeks ago, and this song (and Christian's performance) stopped the show cold. The entire audience was in tears, and just kept applauding and applauding. No shouts or whistles -just a long, steady applause that went on and on. In over forty years of theatergoing it was a standout moment I will never forget.

God, I really love this song. This whole musical, in fact. I hope one day the show is immortalised in a pro shot or something along the lines. This show really is a cherished work of art

I watched the show last night and got to see him perform last night. He absolutely soars as Hester. Excellent actors help you to see the character as real even when physically they are so different.

Seen Christian as Hester both times Ive seen Mincemeat and he never fails to amaze me. Everything from his characterisation, range, acting is just beautiful. He really embodies the emotion and makes me cry every time

ive seen jak and christian play this role, both are truly incredible - this song is just so beautiful the way it brings you in and holds you throughout the 5 minute long runtime with the performer just stood there. God That’s Brilliant direction.

I saw the show this weekend and I was so incredibly moved by Christian’s performance and this song. Might be one of the most beautiful musical songs out there. So grateful I can now watch this video and experience his storytelling again 🥹🥰

I only managed to get to see the show last week. And it's wonderful and funny and clever. And this song reaches into your heart and pulls it out. Christian was marvellous, in the show and here.

I don’t know if this was intended but I think Rose is the surname of her fiancé’s family. So whenever she mentions roses, she’s indirectly mentioning the family as well

I love how his voice is perfectly androgynous enough so it actually has the tone of an older woman but at the same time identifiable as a male voice - I’m jealous
