[@danieldavidtbasilgo4790]

Drew Sarich captured the essence of Ursula. Incredibly talented and versatile singer, actor, and artist. Bravo!!

[@mikaku]

I was blown away by his performance. Along with the singer who song Be my guest, they been both wonderful!

[@benzun9600]

weird

[@izarawanjiru]

Truely good 👋🏾

[@balderramices]

That was so amazing!!!! His whole performance, not just the voice was ON POINT!

[@jmw939]

I can so see him as the perfect MC in Cabaret.

[@gitchiyaya2]

Drew Sarich was already so fantastic nailing Roger Bart’s Go the Distance. Then he decided to kill it in Poor Unfortunate Soul.

[@minorkey5286]

Yesss! Honestly we're lucky to witness that man!

[@dolphmanity]

Is Drew Sarich another Chester Bennington/John Podesta clone? They're popping up everywhere... and they're all little songbirds.

[@QuasarYGO]

And Suddenly Seymour as well. Such a talent.

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

I was soo shocked at that transition between characters!

[@vinsertheritagehere340]

Im having to rewatch to go the distance now - i did NOT realise that was the same person ! GO MAKEUP.

[@paalnordahl5562]

I was lucky enough to be there both nights and can honestly say they were some of the most emotionally exhausting nights of my life. To hear the soundtrack to your childhood performed live by such amazing musicians and artists is incredibly special. Thank you Mr. Menken. And thank for uploading!!

[@jertunes22]

You are one lucky fellow!

[@stephaniehibbert2270]

I would have been just the same!! Would have cried my way through it😂!

[@joannafenech]

How can I search for such concerts to attend live?

[@FriPilot]

I can relate. I need to keep Kleenex nearby when I'm doing serious listening whether it's live or online. Thank goodness to my musician friends, I have a neverending supply ~

[@annlidslot8212]

Hi, I might have missed it somewhere, but maybe you know it. Who was conducting, please? You might have great musicians, a great choir and the greatest singers and they might still flounder if there isn't a great captain and a great pilot to get the ship home. It must have been fantastic. Depending on what Christmas traditions you have (if you have any) I belated Merry Christmas or a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Yours, Ann

[@anhishere]

Can't believe it took Drew Sarich less than 15 minutes to transform from Hercules to Ursula.

[@ajrfilm0110]

The magic of editing 😉

[@chelsearoses22]

​@AJR Film It is possible though, it took a bit less for me to go from Gulch to Wicked Witch in Wizard of Oz. The farmhands to go from Lion, Tin man, Scarecrow matter of minutes to take off all makeup, running through hallway 😅 And there is a drag queen who puts all of her makeup as part of her routine. It's possible. But you could be right in this situation.

[@okadamari5420]

@@ajrfilm0110😊😊😊😊

[@germanbini]

Maybe they did, or maybe it was different performances on two different nights? (Someone in the comments said they saw this on two nights). I'm not saying it's not possible, though! Either way great job!!

[@mukarama]

Somehow the most horrendous Ursula I've seen

[@alicerizzo5256]

The choir in the Notre Dame's medley. No words. This was an incredible concerto. I'll always be grateful to Mr. Menken for the wonderful music he created

[@darkchocolate4643]

Agreed. It's always been one of my favorite Disney soundtracks. I'm going to show my age, but I have the CD, and I must have played that thing hundreds of time. I know all of those songs so well. And I must say, they really did it justice and then some.

[@ncard00]

Man, if they’d gotten Michael Bolton for I can go the distance… one of the best Disney performances ever, along with Elton John’s can you feel the love tonight. But regardless, Drew Sarich should’ve done Michael’s full version, even if he couldn’t do it as well.

[@ncard00]

4K60fps video quality please!

[@theronaldophotography4971]

When the lady said “Alan Menken wrote the melodies of our childhood” she was perfectly right! I’m 44 years old and his beautiful music have just always been part of my life.

[@Bwilliams2]

I’m 70 and agree!

[@sinon4079]

Christine Allado legit made me cry with Colors of the Wind, her voice is so beautiful. She did this song so much justice!!!!!!

[@ianfrancisvelasco]

"For whether we are white or copper skinned" being sung by Christine in all her naturally tan/kayumanggi skin glory was epic.

[@anthonyvillanueva5226]

She did great in the Prince of Egypt stage musical

[@user-ox9ep9ki6h]

Even though Pocahontas is a bit bland and not great animation, "Colours of the Wind" probably takes top spot 1 in a packed field of memorable Disney songs. It's quite haunting really, no matter who sings it.

[@myedosan]

She absolutely nailed it….it’s too good!

[@amaris5141]

she sounded absolutely gorgeous

[@davidsantiago1380]

Eleanor Grant embraced Ariel so majestically. She’s magical. Made me emotional, especially towards the crescendo of the song. And when the orchestra starts playing the “Happy Ending” song, and she starts getting emotional… 😭❤

[@tonybeayno]

Yes that was the moment for me.

[@Sathiki]

I cried, too. ♥

[@charissetubana7551]

Same for me. Purely magical!

[@oraliacarrillo1290]

Este concierto me hizo recordar la infancia de mi hija tiene aún la coleccion de peliculas de DISNEY y cada que veo el video es Fantastico cada interpretacion es Bellisima Gracias por compartir este video

[@MC-wd5ko]

Very powerful performance and like you said captured the essence so well. What the live action movie should have been. Missed opportunity.

[@IMayOrMayHaveNot]

I can't believe people downright skip Hunchback of Notre Dame's suite! D: It's one of the most epic, if not THE most epic soundtrack of all Disney movies!

[@yannick25]

Me neither, especially since this Orchestral Suite was specifically arranged for this concert and has never be performed before which made it a very very unique experience!

[@gatablanca1949]

couldn't agree more!!!

[@vitodereine]

One of my favorites for sure.

[@tsukihana7839]

One of my favorite suites indeed. No wonder since by Alan Menken himself, HoND is his best work, though it's a pity they didn't sung Out There or God Help the Outcasts.

[@Jiwpgakis]

It’s a shame there weren’t more songs from hunchback. It sure is the best Disney soundtrack ever (imo)

[@auroliana8591]

Since nobody is talking about Eleanor Grant ( Part of your world’s singer ) I’m gonna go ahead : she absolutely killed it. Her high notes were so flawless and angelic and she incorporated the talking voice so adorably. Congrats on her

[@carlosarnulfovelazquezcarr3873]

Totally loved it!! She did an amazing job singing that beautiful song!!

[@Pinkkitty100]

Absolutely! It’s so lovely to see a singer who feels the music too. I myself cry to part of your world (especially the ending with the choir) probably because it reminds me of the happy childhood memories I have. This girl couldn’t not contain her emotions either and it was so pure 👏🏼

[@myedosan]

Total slay indeed

[@jarlhenrik]

Obviously had to look her up after this, and it seems beside that voice, she also plays bass guitar and double bass, studies at the Royal Academy of Music and has a drama scholarship with several roles. Just throw in dancing why don't you? :p

[@oocarpa]

She made me cry... absolutely beautiful!! she put so much sentiment into this interpretation...Brava!!!!

[@jazzyj904]

Crazy how I’m barely seeing any comments about the women who were the muses for Hercules. They did absolutely amazing.

[@pmosh1]

THEY SERVED ALL THAT WAS POSSIBLY SERVABLE.

[@hatrackzoo]

It was KILLER! Also, it's the most repeated track on this video :)

[@jaidern]

they brought us to church. AMAZING

[@BubbleBelly]

Alan Menken has often said that he thinks Hunchback was his best composition he's ever written, and hearing the suite preformed here I have to agree. Nearly every song he's written is amazing, but the complexity and beauty of Hunchback is just something special. Also Drew KILLED it as Ursla

[@DanKeeleyMusic]

I wish they had some solos from it. I'd love to hear Adam sing "Out There" or since Drew was the original stage Quasi, let him kill "Made of Stone."

[@ctspurgeon]

Everything Drew Sarich touches is GOLD. I love this man's voice soooo much. His Hercules makes me cry, his Ursula was *chefs kiss*, and his Seymour still in Ursula drag fills my heart with so much joy. Such a treasure

[@MrSteadiman]

I feel this is the best Disney concert I've ever heard, the track selection is fantastic, the arrangements were done with excellent taste, it's so beautifully performed it's as good as the original material. On top of this the light work on stage was astonishing. Goosebumps !

[@arcabal]

arrengements done with excellent taste? These are all the original scores! I have every soundtrack and I know them in every single note and every single instrument and...it was all live here exactely as in the recorded versions...I am...don't have a word to express what I am!!! What I'd give to come back in time and know about this event and buy a ticket! We all need a concert like this for every Disney movie!!!! Do it please!!!! Too many songs missing and we claim them!!!! PS: don't understand why thay didn't do "I won't say I'm in love" from Hercules...there was the original singer and very good muses!!!

[@Kullioking]

@@arcabal THis isend a Disney concert. This is a concert in honor of Alan Menken. He just wrote a lot of Disney songs.

[@arcabal]

@@Kullioking I've perfectly known who Alan Menken is since the day the little marmaid first came out in cinemas

[@myedosan]

Hands down, for sure

[@jeffg1524]

An Alan Menken comes along once in a generation. So glad I'm living when he appeared in this one, and can appreciate it firsthand.

[@Lidimont]

Super agree!

[@pp-here]

RIP Howard Ashman. Would love to hear the lyrics he would've wrote with his Partner Alan Menken

[@cecillesalvan]

Adam Jacobs’ voice is utterly magical. ❤

[@JotaReactions]

The Pocahontas soundtrack is giving me chills... OMG so intense!

[@Menthol510]

OMG Sir.Alan Menkens "How does a moment last forever" is PURE GOLD I LOVE HIS SOFT AND WISE VOICE

[@zazuus3233]

The world will be a different place when people learn to appreciate Menken's tremendous and extraordinary work on The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

[@rookiebee8628]

That's why I'm here lol

[@tsukihana7839]

OMG! The suite for The Hunchback of Notre Dame was EPIC (though I wish they would had sung "Out There" and "God Help the Outcasts"), so far my fav suite of the film's soundtrack so far. Also I totally teared up at The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Thanks for my childhood, Alan Menken.

[@blueskiesandclouds5596]

“God Help The Outcast” would’ve been epic with the choir

[@belovedpeartree]

@@blueskiesandclouds5596 oh man I got goosebumps just thinking about that.

[@d43imoet]

💯 percent!! The score itself is by far the best one out of the Disney renaissance.

[@hannahrebullar7878]

The guy who sang Go The Distance nailed it!

[@gaylegartley582]

It's the same man who sang Poor Unfortunate Souls!

[@giadaelacapsuladeivideogiochi]

31:57 - 40:27 Here it is... The medley we didn't know we needed. Let's see: - 31:57 The bells of Notre Dame - 32:46 Paris burning - 33:36 Sanctuary - 38:42 Into the Sunlight - 40:03 The bells of Notre Dame (Finale)

[@AAA839]

It sad they don't bring: Heaven Light/Hell Fire God help the outcast The Bell of Notre-Dame Out There so many good songs got missed from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

[@leandralubon3386]

I was looking for this !! Thank you !!

[@LovelyMotokochan]

Absolutely love the notre Dame music! Thank you!

[@d43imoet]

Hunchback score is one of the finest out there (no pun intended lol)! Absolute banger and quite impossible to not get goosebumps everytime I hear it ❤

[@julienkooij6872]

Just teared up hearing 'Colors of the Wind' followed by one of the most beautiful scores ever which is 'Farewell' from Pocahontas. If my time comes I want that song to be the music that plays when all the people I love will have to say their last farewells.

[@1979Brigitte]

I'm in love with this concert and with the solists too! I wish Eleanor Grant, who sang 'Part of your World', would have sung 'I See The Light' as well though. Celinde is an amazing singer, but in this song she's constantly going back and forth from chest (loud and brassy) to head voice (almost operatic), which makes it almost sound like she's struggling or as if she's not sure which singing technique to use. For this song you need a more fluid voice, like Eleanor Grant's.

[@yannick25]

Although I really like Celindes Performance aswell I am inclined to agree. Eleanor is just exceptional and her young and fresh style would probably fit Rapunzel a bit better.

[@houtblazer]

Agreed 👍🏼

[@cmw12]

Noticed this too.

[@LadyMiir]

Okay, Home on the Range was the LAST movie I expected to ever see at a concert like this, but it's clear the guys were having a lot of fun with that section XD

[@jeffl8549]

Those French Horn players are just awesome. I played in high school and college and the sound is just so majestic!

[@MVEProducties]

French Horns have such a beautiful sound. They soars above the rest of the orchestra and creates a wonderful kind of homesick feeling.

[@kevlin2749]

I wished that Susan Egan had also sang her song from Hercules, with the Muses, her "I Won't Say (I'm in Love)" since she was already there

[@baoxuanchen2421]

This concert set a perfect example of why music is so crucial for us. As crucial as what the story does to us

[@youtubeuser3558]

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

Disney concerts are usually pretty good (around 7/10-8/10) but they really knocked this one out of the park. Even being in the orchestra this concert was emotionally exhausting. i grew up with these songs & was even tearing up as i played. The lucky people who were in the audience will never forget this night. I work with Alan at Disney & it is a absolute honour to do so. No one deserves that award more than he does. Congrats my friend. We will catch up once i get back from Australia.

[@MVEProducties]

Which instrument did you play in this fantastic orchestra? Can you tell if it was difficult to play the scores? Did the melodies flash you back to your childhood as they did to me?

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

I played drums. I was emotionally exhausted by the end of the concert. I grew up with these songs as a child (In Australia) & remember going to the cinema to watch the Little Shop Of Horrors. When the piano started to play the intro to Suddenly Seymour tears just started to flow. This will probably sound silly but hearing the music resonated with me & it was like being launched back to the 1970-1980's & reliving my childhood again. It's incredible that a generally cult figure show can still bring people & their memories together after 40 years. I am employed by Disney to play in their major motion pictures & Alan's music is beautiful. We were lucky to have a very good bunch of musicians in the orchestra that night.@@MVEProducties

[@posteph47]

Incredible. Eleanor Grant's rendition of Part of Their World was moving. She was Ariel!

[@demondogan]

If you are in Austria, especially in Vienna (country/city of music) you have to perform very well. It was outstanding.

[@roberhji]

That "Go the Distance" rendition gave me the chills!

[@misaelramirez3178]

To end the concert with Suddenly Seymour was probably the best note to pay tribute both to Alan Menken's journey in music as well Howard Ashman's. Little Shop of Horrors opened both of them the gates to what would be a partnership of reviving Disney by adding their charms and talents for generations to come. Their works will always be hand by hand, despite Howard no longer writing his lyrics along side with Alan's melodies. Disney legends forever.

[@elianavalentinapinedaramos9449]

I cant imagine the effort they put into the Hercules soundtrack during their rehearsals, they did such a magnificient job, unbelievable talent and synchro

Christine Allado is amazing and needs to be given her own Disney princess movie where she can sing all the songs. I was hoping she was going to be the new Little Mermaid.

[@user-oo7dw4qw4b]

@@supitskyle7832 Actually saw those movies when I was very young, so yeah I know Lea Salonga is Filipino. What I meant was that I don't see much of us Filipinos being showcased in such an amazing stage. Hence my comment that it's refreshing to see some get opportunities like these.

His music is soo diverse, each and every second something new happens, melodies hardly repeat! No copy-pasting in his composing! :)

[@amieofrain1804]

Christine Allado you are amazing!! 😭💗✨🙏

[@shaneoliver4362]

The Best of Alan Menken's DIsney Songs and to top it all off, the grand finale was a song not by disney. AWESOME!

[@camiloposse1785]

few talents at the level of the quality voice as mr. sarich are not easy to find indeed!!!!!

[@jarlhenrik]

Alan Menken wrote my childhood, which is safe to say defined my adulthood as well as I still return to his songs in my every day life, or just hum them under my breath at work (to the amusement of both my colleagues and patients :P). Thank you Alan

[@PensadorProfundo42]

He deserves all the awards and recognitions of the world 🎉 he made a great soundtrack for all of our lives

[@1971THX]

Thank you very much RealSatire. What Austrian television didn't do for viewers outside of their own country, you did, my good friend. And even though I had sent her personal messages several days before the live show to leave the rights free for us as well. The live performances of "Hollywood in Vienna" are for me the most wonderful thing that has been presented over the years for movie music lovers by the world's Superb Radio Symphony Orchestra, none other than that of beautiful Vienna. I beg you very much and if possible, if you have performances from other years, please upload them as well. Thank you so much from Greece... ... ... "may the Force be with you !!!"

[@yannick25]

Sadly I don't have any of the older recordings and they are not provided by ORF anymore, so I can't upload them, sorry. Really appreciate your comment though!

[@inLmgb]

@1971THX I'm sure you are aware that it is indeed a copyright matter (in this case of the composers and film studios) and tv programmes cannot be just broadcast worldwide. We cannot watch Greek tv either, unless we pay for satellite or cable. However, kindly enough uploads on youtube were not deleted. Someone has a heart for fans. There are still original recordings from the ORF tv broadcasts in the same quality as RealSatire kindly uploaded for us today. Austrian tv is well known for spectacular concert recordings. Just look for Hollywood in Vienna 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The full concerts as originally broadcast on tv are still available.

@@1971THX I don't think that the first concert in 2007 was broadcast on ORF. That was just a regular concert at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, humble beginnings. The Max Steiner Award was created in 2009 and awarded to John Berry. At least parts of that concert were broadcast and a recording of approx 45 minutes is on youtube. That started the tradition of the annual Award ceremony, well, until the pandemic hit. I went to my first Hollywood in Vienna concert in 2010, and I remember that it was almost fully broadcast afterwards. 2007, and very likely 2009 also, were not broadcast.

[@1971THX]

@@inLmgb Thank you very much for your interest & concern on the subject Rike Marie. I know, unfortunately, how the T.V. Business works, for several years now. As for the video concerts of "Hollywood in Vienna" the only years missing from my archive are 2007, 2009 & 2010. I hope we always have such superb musical events to take us to magical places, to captivate and move us.

[@AriAxyss]

Wow, the singer Drew Sarich for Hercules' voice is so crisp and really suits Hercules' voice so well!! And wow, what a fantastic and amazing show overall!! Amazing to see!! 😆😄👏🎉🎉

[@JuneK618]

That was an epic performance!! All my favorite classic Disney songs sang by these fabulous talents. The orchestra was amazing!! Love every second of it from start to finish. ❤❤❤

[@jakeyboy203]

Alan Menkin is responsible for my fave Disney music ever he gave me The Little Mermaid Beauty and the Beast Lion King Aladdin Mulan ect he is a genius ❤️ ❤❤

[@TjSamson]

I'm just really happy they managed to have Home of the Range considering how forgotten the film is. Just hope they also included Enchanted, anyways, still a very beautiful edition of Hollywood in Vienna.

[@reinhardkralik151]

Enchanted was also in the concert, but they didn't show it on TV. They played one song from Sister Act too.

[@TjSamson]

@@reinhardkralik151 What? Bummer they didn't show it in TV.

[@danzafrir2900]

What an absolutely outstanding event! Kudos to everyone involved in celebrating Menken's work, the soundtrack of our childhood 💜

[@amyschlenker8278]
