Gene Wilder would be proud of this performance! Well done, Josh!

[@Bmwguy2011]

Yes he would have. You know that gene was unsure if he could sing well enough for the film. Such humility.

Wow didn't know this dude could sing this good!

For singing yes. Check out Jersey Surf's Pure Imagination wake up call. They are a DCI band. My absolute favorite.

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

At 69, I have little left to surprise me in a positive way. But the first time I saw this video, when the stage curtain opened, I was 5 years old again. My heart was touched. The world was again a beautiful place, and I was overwhelmed by its possibilities. My deepest gratitude is offered to Josh, the musicians, the author, and the director of this stunning video. ♥️♥️♥️

[@janieslater]

Well said. Me as well! ❤

[@ignestr]

Nice I am sorry

[@robintyson591]

I have been blessed to, for a very few times in my life, have experienced this - being on a stage as the curtain rises. It is truly magical, and this is a magical video.

[@ahub87]

I will always love this song…I like finding different renditions of it

Although Gene Wilder's version is my sentimental favorite (he was the first after-all)...this version is a close second. Mr. Groban is brilliant.

One of the most well crafted songs ever written for film, and it was written with Gene Wilder in mind for the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!
