In a crowd of thousands - Christy Altomare and Derek Klena

[@lizzieabsher2017]

Anyone else notice her eyes filling with tears when she says "and then he bowed"???

[@emmamagnani1944]

Haley Absher i thought i was the only one that noticed !!!

[@talitadbatista]

Haley Absher I love how she really gets in the character... She really understands Anya ❤️

[@marcmadam9211]

it's like EVERY SINGLE TIME I watched her video singing the song, she always get teary eyes on that part :"))) and always give me chillss

[@grace5199]

Yes. And I always get emotional during that part!

[@Ally-tf5ex]

that chuckle Derek made when she sings "not too clean" :')

[@alexabenitez2251]

Allyanna laurel I know!! he is just to perfect everyday in any situation😄

[@Catellana]

The chemistry between them is so palpable I want to scream. Side note: dEREK'S LITTLE CHUCKLES EVERY NOW AND THEN

[@lisavirginia_]

in the live musical he kinda like was five seconds away from kissing her but then hes like wait. shit. no. and THEN he bows but like holy crap the annoyance in the auditorium was crazy after that happened

[@MeganWoodard1984]

It's going to be SO strange when we eventually get different actors playing Anya and Dimitri, cause no one will be able to recreate the chemistry that Derek and Christi have created here. I want to see this show so badly

[@alexabenitez2251]

Megan Woodard OMG I can relate 100% to what you just said😢😢 It is going to be just insane in the worst way 😢 I just hope they play Dmitry and Anya for a long time like Derek said the Opening Night:"This is what we're going to share with people for years and years to come! "

[@lillyottaviani3215]

I wanna see it with them in it, hopefully before different actors play them.

[@NightCircus]

Their chemistry onstage is wonderful ;_; I watched the musical a week ago. Derek fits the part of Dimitri so well!

[@rubygln4696]

Megan Woodard I saw the musical after I saw the Macy’s thanksgiving day parade performance, I was captivated I was in New York at the time so I thought I might as well see it. I never thought I could be as addicted to it as I am now!

[@sjespiritu5421]

Zach and Christy did a pretty good job when I saw it! But looking back on these videos of Christy and Derek...Ugh the original cast is almost always my favorite because anything else just seems not natural.

[@alexs.3383]

If I could watch the musical every week, that'd be gr8

[@alexabenitez2251]

I would absolutely do it too! :D

[@jigeummybear]

I would also love to meet the cast! ❤️

[@daniellamorrow]

Seriously!!

[@emilyharbaugh4233]

Alex S. Yassssss

[@emilyharbaugh4233]

More like every day

[@sydneyelaine7264]

I like how you can hear Derek's voice better when they sing together... in the soundtrack you can't hear him as well as you can here and his harmonies are just so good!

[@alexabenitez2251]

Sydney Andrews yesss they harmonize just unbelievably beautiful I love them so much 💓💓💓💓

[@carolinek3334]

In the actual musical he bows when he says "your highness" it's much more dramatic

[@alexabenitez2251]

Owl Power I know❤️❤️❤️

[@jigeummybear]

I love that part! ❤️

[@elianah9610]

2:56 the way they emphasize the “you” makes me die every time. INTENSE

[@Catellana]

The chemistry between them is crazy. I literally can feel them falling in love with each other as the song progresses.

[@celestialstrawber_rie5723]

"your highness" i think i jus melted into an emotional puddle

[@daniellamorrow]

Anyone catch how when Christy started singing she adjusted her mic and Derek copied her right after? 😃 that little gesture made my day. They feed off of each other ☺️

[@nabilahsafira5429]

They are so in sync

[@joshuaarcilla1002]

CHRISTY ALTOMARE'S EYES WHEN SHE SAYS "AND A BOY CAUGHT MY EYE" IS JUST AMAZING IDK WHY I FIND IT SO HUHU I SHIP THEM SOOOOOO MUCH

[@harshmnr]

At 2:01-ish that "Hey" was so adorable that I literally paused the video and physically got off my bed and started doing squats. Like honestly though what is wrong with me, at the point where my immediate reaction to something without even thinking is to get up and do squats? I don't even know why that's the first thing I did, like I need serious mental help...XD ~:~

[@alexabenitez2251]

Natalie Harshman OMG 😂❣️😂❣️ It is just so adorable and beautiful that it makes us do starnge things and just explode our hearts and minds I think

[@harshmnr]

Alexa Benitez Ha ha, yeah. ^^) ~:~

[@PrincessAdobo]

HAHAHAHAHHA oh my god this made my day! “I had to get off my bed and do squats!” I feel you girl!

[@vanris.6866]

Sorry, I ship them so hard. *help*

[@alexabenitez2251]

Vanri S. omg i understand you i do too ❣️💟

[@vanris.6866]

Alexa Benitez Omg, yesh. I saw a clip from Carrie of them and I fell more in love with the ship. 😢

[@alexabenitez2251]

Vanri S. I know !!! their chemistry onstage is just unbelievebable!!!! they would be perfect together 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

[@gracelyncate7374]

Vanri S. MEE TOO!!! It’s a little depressing that they aren’t a thing ❤️

[@xxobrittanyg]

This song is so beautiful. It's my favorite newest song. "And then he bowed," always makes me tear up.

[@minsunkang7264]

xxobrittanyg When they start singing together at "the parade traveled on..." always gets me it's just so beautiful😭

[@KellyDurgan]

Christy always gives 110% percent. Such a strong, beautiful, talented actress. I am so lucky to have been able to see her on Broadway before the show closed.

[@thecarnegiedeli]

I lost count of how many times I replayed Derek saying "I-I didn't tell you that"

[@TibsPlays]

I can't get over the fact that Derek would be an amazing JD from Heathers the Musical

[@Toasty_Mr.Marsh_]

Omg i thought that as well😫

[@karlabiancatendero8442]

OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO RIGHT. WE NEED THEM TO DEBUT ON BROADWAY AND GET HIM AS JD AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[@zoe2539]

I love them so much, their chemistry is just so goood ❤️

[@lillyottaviani3215]

They were perfect in Carrie together, and this just makes it so much better

[@ahashi1927]

My sister's friend got a selfie with Derek Klena. I'm not kidding. They saw this on a chorus trip.

[@meow_meow-33]

Ahashi192 I'm going to BroadwayCon in January and I seriously cried when I saw that they were both on the guest list. I will seriously burst into tears if I get a pic with him!!

[@brodysinko7872]

Ok sorry but there is a BroadwayCon Why Was I Not Informed

[@lucieromer1407]

Omg I am jealous😭

[@nayannadeoliveira2503]

WHY AM I SO FREAKING EMOTIONAL? I'm DYING to watch the play! Oh boy, I'm gonna cry my eyes out.

[@alexabenitez2251]

Nayanna de Oliveira I know i feel the samw❤️❤️

[@cm_0011]

I love how they didn’t even have to look at each other as they’re not performing and it made standing at the mics awkward but they were still drawn to. So beautiful

[@younice9707]

Am I in love? Yes, yes I am. 😭❤️

[@verbonsubre6121]

How Christy stares at Derek is honestly all of us

[@CamieDelRosario]

This song never ceases to make my heart warm

[@alexabenitez2251]

Cameron Marie i feel the same way, every time 💖

[@joyajohnson2216]

Derek’s voice is like warm chocolate ganache. No I will not explain what I mean by that because it makes perfect sense. LMAO

[@kayhaych05]

I'm here crying in Australia becuase I've loved Anastasia since I was a child and now i have to wait a year or possibly two years because they have confirmed an international tour and im crying becuae its entirely possible that Derek and Christy may not be able to portray Dinitri and Anastasia and i wanna see them on stage so bad

[@alexabenitez2251]

idkwhattocallmeself same here 😫😫 I'm from mexico

[@lucieromer1407]

I feel you! I am from Germany and would like to See them so much.... like I can‘t describe how much! But thats nearly impossible..😭😕💔

[@karena.1567]

[@anarchypoisons]

i'm getting into this real quick... christy's expressions and her emotions in the song is beautiful, dang!

[@emmawingate3156]

His voice is like a flippin angel

[@skerzan4468]

It was June I was ten I still think of that day now and then A parade And a girl And a crowd of thousands She sat straight As a queen Only eight But so proud and serene How they cheered How I stared In that crowd of thousands Then I started to run And to call out her name As the crowd on the road went wild I reached out with my hand And looked up And then she smiled The parade Traveled on With the sun in my eyes She was gone But if I were still ten In that crowd of thousands I'd find her again You're making me feel I was there too Maybe you were Make it part of your story A parade A parade Passing by Passing by It was hot Not a cloud in the sky Then a boy Caught my eye In a crowd of thousands He was thin Not too clean There were guards But he dodged in between Yes he made himself seen In that crowd of thousands Then he called out my name And he started to run Through the sun and the heat And crowd I tried not to smile But I smiled And then he bowed I didn't tell you that You didn't have to I remember! The parade Traveled on With the sun in my eyes You were gone But I knew Even then In a crowd of thousands I'd find you again Your highness

[@kaylab7030]

2:48 IM CRYING if a man sang to me that passionately I would fade away

[@bevinst.pierre2857]

Their harmony in the duet at the end ... ugh

[@dyodyexo7337]

I just loved the first few sec of the vid where their movements were so in sync

[@maritskwish3184]

They are so good together

[@minsunkang7264]

Watched the musical a couple days ago, literally mind-blown by their on-stage chemistry💞 This only proves it further

[@rosepratiwi6532]

This song is really 'deep' and Christy sang it with all her heart. I love them.

[@KiaraCarbajal]

their chemistry is unbelievable

[@sophiathorsen5885]

Oh, I could watch this a million times! My favourite song! The chemistry between those two is so AMAZING, it makes me melt! The shock he shows when she tells he bowed is so good, good acting! So sad he doesn't bow when he calls her "Your Highness" it would make it just perfect!

[@marielarce0825]

Protect this tandem at all costs

[@Livphom]

I love that they’re so in character!!! It looked like she was even going to cry! So amazing

[@catalinaroman8908]

Liv Phom they sing it with such passion, everytime i watch i feel they are in love ahah they do amazing work with the characters

[@carloenavarro]

I want her to be Ariel. Her voice, her looks. Plus she's a good actress.

[@chlo3mak]

ive watched them perform this song like a thousand (lol) times and i will never not cry

[@nguyenlee123]

Cries. I’m so glad it’s on Spotify now. I saw this on opening preview night. So gooood

[@jigeummybear]

The way they look at each other. ❤️❤️❤️

[@SarahIngleOfficial]

It's so perfect and beautiful from the very first note.

[@alicesadventuresin1711]

Seeing this next month and I am BEYOND excited. Love the new editions and story changes from what I've read so far. This song is just 😍

[@alexabenitez2251]

Alices Adventures In I bet you'd love it ❣️❣️❣️

[@lonelylittledot]

This is so beautiful I feel physical pain

[@jedkaro]

god, when she sang "and then he bowed" i just burst into tears and it was so unexpected, that's the power of musical theatre

[@user-yo1eg5ps7c]

So, so, so, so good. So good. Love them.

[@emmaj5807]

[@PulidoAccion]

It gave me chills ♥

[@AlwaysMoreRouge]

Full body chills everytime ❤🥹

[@scarlett.yuhhhh]

I’m so glad I got to see this show before they stopped. They did performances 808 times, imagine how tiring that was!

[@reaganrahlf2042]

The amount of emotion and chemistry is insanity. i love it!

[@lovetolovefairytales]

The best way to pick a fight with me currently is to try and convince me this song is NOT awesome. It's freaking amazing. No one's allowed to diss it in my presence.

[@lorieskyer]

My heart 💕💕

[@Noname-no5zk]

I am literally crying

[@jilliancharles3399]

My favourite song from this musical 😍❤️

[@KeikoTheCatsMeow]

He sings it perfect everytime. Is he real? Is this enchanted when a cartoon character comes to our world cause he’s not real.

[@SakuraSasuSaku]

I LOVE THIS SOSOSOSOSO MUUUCH

[@danikate7137]

He's beautiful

[@maryannkoretoff1023]

[@riley2235]

I may see it in January or February but I really wanted to see it with the two of them!!!😭😭😭 Also in a few weeks I am auditioning for guys and dolls at my school and do you think Anyas part would be a good audition cut, I want to be Sarah!
