[@cheronfitzgerald8806]

Thank you so much for the ASL interpreter, and for keeping him on screen for the entire song.

[@Shakeenz]

We worked with Invest In Access to secure our ASL interpreter, Emilio Garcia, and they also guided us on the best way to include him for maximum accessibility. I’m so glad to know it’s giving greater access to our video and our message. 💙💛

[@richardcarroll9864]

I thought it was stupid. Should have had a Ukrainian deaf interpreter.

[@dougnguyend]

I heard people in Hong Kong sing the same song as they struggle for democracy in their own land. This seems like it's becoming the anthem for people fighting for democracy.

[@davidallbaugh6858]

It is being sung all over the world.

[@deezligma6076]

Nothing to do with democracy or fascism. They just want to be left the hell alone.

[@Rhov9]

Because it’s a song about democracy and brotherhood and humanity. It defies borders. That message is universal.

[@renjing]

Now there’s a version for China mainland too

[@SkySweeperSyn]

Always has been

[@asmr_chalk_ukr]

making me cry every time "It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again!"- true!

[@whaleymom76]

Me too. Destroys me every time! Slava Ukraini! Heroiam Slava!🇺🇦

[@Rhov9]

It’s why I also get choked up when I think of “We, The People” because democracy is government OF the people, FOR the people, BY the people. It’s one of the most profound and deep truths of life - the people should be able to choose how they are governed. It’s part of the very fabric of the social contract.

[@yarynkey]

Thank you for this! We hear you in 🇺🇦and we thank you!

[@Shakeenz]

I’m so glad our message reached you. ♥️

[@sheilaghmalone3053]

Please know the world is watching what’s happening. Ukraine will prevail!!

[@oscarphile]

Fight on, Ukraine! ✊

[@juliaholzschuher]

This was such an amazing thing to be a part of and I’m so incredibly honored I had this chance to perform with so many amazing people. Rain or shine we will stand in solidarity with Ukraine for them.

[@brnowl]

Thank you

[@galyaanedchenko3780]

Thanks a lot! Your support in such perfomence makes me cry 🙂 🇺🇦

[@dandrakenholt5455]

From Sweden with great love ❤️❤️❤️

[@yf4012]

To everyone who took part in this amazing tribute to Ukraine, you should be so proud… because we certainly are of you! I know it’s from Les Miserable, but it’s one of the most stirring versions of ‘Do You Hear The People Sing?’ I have ever heard… literally ‘goosebump material’. Thank each and every one of you for this incredibly moving homage to Ukraine. ♥️❤️🥰❤️♥️🇺🇦🇦🇺

[@NatalkaZubar]

Thanks from Kharkiv, Ukraine!

[@Shakeenz]

Sending love and strength!

[@yaroslav7146]

Thank you for support. I am on the frontline and when i know that the whole world is supporting us, thi gives me great motivation and courage!

[@blacksheepaffect]

Thank you for defending your country and freedom. The world needs brave people like you.

[@dougnguyend]

You are defending the world against tyranny that will consume everyone in the free world

[@ManubibiWalsh]

We do! We always do! Stay strong and keep fighting, you guys are the real ones!! I hope you’re doing well!! 🇮🇹❤️🇺🇦

[@jodibradbury2807]

*goosebumps* Ukraine has never left my thoughts since this nightmare began. Praying hard for President Zelensky and his amazing, resilient, and gritty people. Their 'never give up' attitude is a global inspiration.

[@yf4012]

You are so right. They really are a global inspiration. Total respect to Ukraine!💙💛

[@EvieCohen]

I am speechless. They are standing in the rain to sing!! This is so moving.

[@flatoutt1]

not just that, they're standing in the rain to express their outrage at injustice and stand up for righteousness. and help inspire and activate the rest of us ,to do what we can .thanks from aus .this really hits the spot . and it's a warning to out of control authority that's been repeated throughout history. don't piss the people off, to the point of activating them otherwise they'll be a terrible price you have to pay because the people are the real power .ask Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu if this is right . now we have to free the russian people from their corrupt ,power abusing government . because the russian people have been under trodden for toooo long . they need to take a leaf out of Botswana's book . i hear they're a corrupt free zone .or they used to be and their economy is going like a train.just imagine how russia would thrive being corruption free and friendly .it would be a sight to behold . i'm not just singing for the ukrainians but for russian dissidents who i my eyes and heart are true patriots and hero's and heroines . they need our support BIGTIME

[@sueramsey8181]

What's a little rain compared with what is happening in Ukraine?

[@isabelvaladez8853]

That’s because they were paid to.

[@Bonasita2]

Fabulous! I hope the Ukrainians see this and feel hope.

[@христинамандзюк-р8ю]

[@HelgaTopolska]

we absolutely do. thank you so much for your support!

[@bb22602]

That settles it. I can never watch Les Mis in public. Too many tears. It really got me when they switched to Ukrainian, as well as waving the Ukrainian flag where in the production they wave the red revolutionary flag. Thanks to all who participated(Hi, Petrina Bromley! also love the ASL interpreter.) and donated and now I am heading to a donation site. Slava Ukraini!!

[@kyivstuff]

This made me cry. Thank you so much for your support!

Even the weather was in the same synchrony, made this whole thing even more moving #standtogether

[@susanschumm8508]

This is so beautiful, and beautifully done! I’m proud to stand with Ukraine. Just wish there was more I could do.🙏🏻🇺🇦🙏🏻

[@laurieswiryn9829]

Wow! This is very moving and the ASL interpreter adds to the urgency... listen and feel your emotions, pray and share.

[@pataspelieter4835]

If that doesn’t bring a smile to your face nothing will. Kudos to the Ukraines everywhere for never giving up. Bless their hearts and souls ❤️

[@Orlando2022]

Fantastic! Thank you!!!🇺🇲🇺🇦

[@animalanni1]

I can’t stop listening to this. Gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. #istandwithukraine

[@sooz9433]

This is beautiful.. God Bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 God Save Ukraine 🇺🇦 💙 💛

[@angelikalindenau943]

I only just discovered this. Thank you. What a shame that the terror is still raging.

[@yknot000]

It doesn't surprise me that the NYC Broadway theater stars got together to do this for Ukraine, they are caring people.

[@markpenny9293]

I did not realize how painfully I have missed theater and theater people. Of course a little rain would not stop a show, especially a show for a cause. I am so proud of all of you standing up for others through song... voices raised in praise and glory. Thank you Broadway. God bless Ukraine.

[@elisabethnerolk2283]

I got chills all over!! Trouble swallowing my tears!

[@joannemcdaniel7962]

A powerful strong message., may God bless them in their fight for freedom.

[@66marypat]

My mother sent this to me yesterday. I must’ve seen it at least 10 times! I’ve shared with everyone! Fantastic, emotional & powerful’

[@jaynerivasm.d.7375]

Beautiful singing. The kindest of prayers. Thank you for sharing !!!

[@bb22602]

This was definitely a prayer and I hope it comes true.

[@yf4012]

Amazing, wonderful, beautiful! Thankyou.👏👏👏

[@georgepanciuk977]

Beautiful many thanks USA

[@yknot000]

A perfect song to express unity with the Ukrainian people. Too bad about the weather but better raindrops falling than bombs. This musical play was written about the French revolution and yet the world has not learned it lessons.

[@e.l5490]

Rain will make the flowers grow.

[@wendysmith8365]

Outstanding! When I saw this on Broadway, I was moved to tears and I feel the same way hearing it sung for the people of Ukraine!!!

[@НинаАндреева-п7м]

Many russian people don’t want be slaves, too. We want to be free, it’s not our choice. Love this music ❤

[@ЛобоваЮля-т8щ]

Your country - your responsibility. It's your choice to live in a such way. When you understand this maybe you will become free. But you don't, only if civil war will begin or something that touch you personally you understand what's making the choice. I don't say that you personally make the choice to be slave. But think more about history of your country as empire of evil and ask yourself why your citizens come to kill mine compatriots. Kill in a way worse than nazi did...

[@НинаАндреева-п7м]

@@ЛобоваЮля-т8щ you don’t know my story I never voted for Putin. I was arrested at the protest. I know very many people with the same position and the same story. What should I have done? Is it my choice? Do you ever been arrested for your position?

[@ЛобоваЮля-т8щ]

@@НинаАндреева-п7м I'm not russian to be arrested for my position. Ukrainians died in the Revolution of Dignity to live free. And I'm so grateful to them for it. I saw protests in russia. Those who find dignity and conscience inside souls to go there are people I can a bit respect. (however, you said "many", which means many from your perspective, not many from the point of view of the number of people in russia; how many support this war you know? how many wish for Ukrainians' death?) And you maybe know what it is to be under a bomb attack? How does it feel about leaving your home due to war? Or perhaps you know what is it when any time you can die due to a bomb (I'm still in Ukraine and I literally can die even now if there are many rockets and if our army cannot knock them all down). Maybe you also know what is it cold in winter without electricity. How it feels when your hometown day by day, step by step, a little but is destroyed by weapons... Again: not all Germans were nazi, but all were responsible for their government (it's not my thought, but Germany's intelligentsia). The same with you, agree with this idea or not, but this is true. As I have written, "I don't say that you personally make the choice to be a slave". But many of your citizens do...

Speechless!
