[@manuelorozco7760]

If there is a live TV production one day, I’m game for that

[@bboops23]

Hard no. Lily is an alto. Kristen Chenoweth is a Soprano-Mezzo Soprano. There's already so few roles for lower vocal range women.

[@TsireyaWayofwater]

I’m a soprano I tried singing this song and oh my god it did not sound right instead of low it was high@@bboops23

When I saw this musical, I was so surprised from this song. It's personally my favorite. The singers were impressive!

From 0:59 and on, all I could hear was princess Carolyn from Bojack the horseman. It literally took me by surprise to find out it's a different actress hahah. Her voice is incredible whatsoever and I can't describe my love for those growlings! This is one of the best songs in the musical

[@chloedichoso9286]

Kind of reminds me of "Friend Like Me" too lol

[@valeriasidon8655]

Ahaha!!! It does!

[@rileyross2701]

At least the instrumental dose for me

[@thatonerandominternetdingu736]

It's probably because it's a minor key swing, similar to Friend Like Me

[@BooBop1987]

The fun fact about the woman who have played Lily is the one who is one of the Can-Can Dancer from Moulin Rouge The 2001 Version!

[@ahashi1927]

This is my favorite song from the musical. It's so 1900s jazz club. That was the point, but still!

[@kayla2751]

Act 2 takes place in 1927. So it is going to have the jazz

I just got Lily in my version of Anastasia. A charecter choice I chose is speaking in a heavy Russian accent the entire show (even while singing!). I need to listen to this over and over to stay on track and make sure I’m still on the notes 😂🥲

[@goldkehlchen1993]

Actually a good song, but the instrumental part in the middle of it sounds much toooo jewish! I really love jewish music, but it doesn't quite fit the Russian aristocrats' political opinion! - They were againt the jewish, weren't they? Unfortunately!

[@kareemabdelhakam3640]

I think it just symbolizes the irony. It says hey, weren't you outcasts and rejects before. Just like those who you seek to persecute. Saying that, I think it also hints their hypocrisy.

[@goldkehlchen1993]

Kareem Abdel Hakam maybe they thought so when they wrote the music, but I think people who don't recognize the jewish style wouldn't know that. but though it could be that way

[@Andrew-jv7tc]

It sounds similar to when the Russian Peasants sing during the song "To Life" in Fiddler On The Roof. Much of Ashkenazi Jewish music and Russian music borrowed from each other since they were in close proximity.

[@dankhnw8]

Yeah I was surprised when I heard that part.

[@sarahshoemaker6150]

I think it’s due more to similarities between the two cultures and music due to proximity than any hidden metaphor. This is what Russian music sounds like.
