[@lilikkrismantoro2027]

Well Lea's legendary crystal clear voice makes KZbin subtitle machine nearly lost it's job.

[@kristinagamboa1335]

😆😆😆 So true

[@toneepolines8021]

My gosh I have never looked I Dreamed a Dreamed this way. That review of each emotions and story and the music is just so brilliant. This is what makes you guys so original. Wow as in wow!!! Keep it up and please continue this kind of review to sets you apart from the rest of reactors. Well done Christian and. Beth 👏👏👏😘😘😘

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Tonee!!! 💙

[@jensjover]

Do really appreciate the reaction because you’ve manage to explain the theater technicalities, the story line, the character as well as the vocal techniques that Lea used. 👏🏼

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks so much! X

[@rosalindamary]

Nice!

[@meredithchandler73]

I am SO IN LOVE with your reviews of Lea! I will never tire of watching them. It is so amazing to hear the appreciation of Lea’s vocal and acting talents in this way. Please keep up the great work!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Meredith! X

[@jonas757]

Other than your reaction to the artist performance/technique, your side comments of the story of the musical help me to appreciate more of the artist and musical. This is the kind of reaction I/we needed. Keep up the right pace guys. You're doing great!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Jonas!! X

[@mrbrightside6095]

Best Fantine, Best Eponine, and the only Kim. Queen Lea. Great reaction. I love that you look beyond the awesome voice and dig into the actual art the artists is portraying. Cheers!

[@rosalindamary]

True

[@divineilove]

What a beautiful analysis of a beautiful song flawlessly performed by the beautiful Lea Salonga.

[@jay-ardeguzman5891]

Now I understand more of Lea's facial expressions based on the context of the story/song.

[@500Akoni]

Thank you... for this "Leah" thursday...lol. always looking forward to this day. I get to watch it on weekends... Wow, Beth, your face shows just how you feel with the interpretation of the songs !

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Liza!! Xx

[@rndz2711]

I am a huge Lea fan and now a huge fan of you guys!!!...your reviews are the BEST!

[@nowthen.4363]

Ah thanks so much Ricky!!

[@bebemoon]

omg now you made me look at that character in a different light with your explanation of what their journey is and what goes through her mind in every line

[@jennylynosorio556]

This channel is so underrated! The most intelligent coaches for me ! From vocal perspective to the emotional aspects of singing! 👏👏👏

[@jennylynosorio556]

And because of that I promise to not skip any ADS no matter how long it is! ♥️

[@meredithchandler73]

The very first thing that always strikes me when I see this performance of Lea’s - how is this 15 years after the “On My Own” performance???

[@ryanc5517]

The “On My Own” performance, she played the role of Eponine for the 10 year anniversary concert for Les Mis. 15 years later, they had the 25th Anniversary Concert where she played the role of Fantine.

[@rachyy6919]

i love the facial reactions and expressions of this girl reactor

[@boying100]

i agree, her facial expression is priceless

[@djay1066]

I have seen this show countless times, and never once realized (until this performance) that Fantine always had a locket. I only noticed it watching Lea. Like you said, she sells it.

[@nowthen.4363]

She really does! I think most portrayals have the locket. But yes, not every actor makes it noticeable. I'm sure she thought, as an amazing actor, i've been told Fantine has this locket, now how can I make this work and find a reason for Fantine having it. We don't need to know, but the actor does. Brilliant xx

[@lextalliones12345]

I hope it is always Thursday ❤️. Legit reactions ❤️❤️❤️ Queen Lea Salonga 👑

[@paulsamuelroa1093]

Great review. Thanks also for giving insights into the character of Fantine... And indeed, Leah’s acting is engaging and her voice Superb. Keep in reacting both.

[@robertpineda9063]

This is a great channel. The analysis, oh my goodness. These people are legit theater people. Love love love!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank you!!! Xx

[@erezmor4u]

Every time I watch the 2 of you reacting to a musical theatre piece, I feel I'm in a master class. The way you explain the acting along with the vocals makes me wish to be your student!!!

[@nowthen.4363]

Awww thanks so much Erez!! 💙✨

[@juztliszen8937]

I forgot the review is close to 25 mins. I guess I enjoyed it! Great job to Lea and to you both! Have a great wkend!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank Juzt!! x

[@samueljravestruz4702]

Lea is world class, a real Pinoy pride. Thanks for giving her attention. She is one of a kind.🥰

[@aadesas]

Just to point out during the live musical she was on the floor sitting and singing that same song. How she makes it sounds exactly that way is just simply amazing.

[@jaymarkernie2878]

Great review like always! The meaning, feelings, interpretations, and the technical aspects..now that's how it's "completely" done.. I'd love it if you can make a reaction to lea and michael's "a little fall of rain" from les mis 10th anniversary dream cast.. Thanks and keep it up, guys!

[@AJLANCETA]

Sorry I had to see this 6 months later. But then again, this is yet another great reaction , voice analysis, interpretation whatever music professionals call it. I’m just really enjoying watching you guys doing these reaction videos and watching your videos has become a part of my daily routine to put my self in a great mood. I’ve always wanted to watch all these stage plays in person and be able to understand deeply about what each character portrays and the message they want to convey through these songs. And to me, you guys are like my personal guide watching these music plays and giving me a breakdown of the performances and making me understand better even with the simplest gesture the singer is doing on stage; explaining why she did this and that… Thank you so much Beth and Christian. Stay awesome you guys! ❤️ from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@bebemoon]

awww thank you for another lea Thursday!!

[@LarryChaseSolangGayaga]

Again, understanding the character, emotions and the story. Not just singing or hitting the notes.

[@thebestcgever99]

I'm living for this analysis.

[@tyroneloki5131]

Her doing Dont cry for me Argentina is another kind of emotion

[@michaelguarin3958]

Great review guys!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Michael 🥰💙🎭

[@watchlearn3943]

I love the reaction. Can't wait to share this to Lea's fan page am sure they're gonna love this.

[@nowthen.4363]

Aww yes please do! Thank you! X

[@xiurong888]

On this song as well as "On My Own", the contribution of the french horns is amazing.

[@mariloubautista4170]

Hi just came across your vlog/reaction and you guys are awesome. Intelligent detailed explanation n analysis of the song. I thought I already met the best reactors but no there’s still you two. Most knowledgeable with this type of songs. Thanks. Really enjoying your video.

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank you!! And welcome 👋🏻 xx

[@Lunarproject1892]

Please react to her latest musical theater performance “ human Heart “ from once on this island

[@nowthen.4363]

Oh yes!! Beautiful Song! 😍

[@pierreg9469]

I agree!

[@rexalexmacedon]

i love your insights. makes me understand why i love lea salonga playing those iconic roles in musical theater.

[@leticiachiok8057]

So impressed with your analysis of Lea Salonga's performance of this Les Miz song--her delivery--and how you both relate the context of the song with the ebbs of emotions as she portrays the character of Fantine. Loving this song more...indeed so overwhelmingly admiring more and more of Lea's superb talent. Kudos to your awesome comments! 👏♥️

[@arabocutejr8311]

i love Ms Lea salonga... timeless beauty, a filipina talent. future national artist 🙏...

[@joybanzon8362]

Thank you for this!😊more of Lea please!😊

[@cdcotr]

I read the line "I dreamed that God would be forgiving" as not really asking to be forgiven but hoping that God would be merciful, kind and forgiving so she would not suffer or at least suffer less for her choices. Enjoy your analyses of these songs. The great thing about songs from musicals is the story held within and the depth of meaning. I suggested this before so I was glad to see you react to it! I'd like to suggest/request you guys to check out Jessie Mueller singing "She Used to be Mine" (but maybe not from the awards show bec I think that was a slightly shortened version?)

[@nowthen.4363]

Hey!! Yeh that’s a good way of looking at it too. I guess we grow up seeing God as an all loving and merciful God. But she sees her life not going in a good direction and questions if God really is forgiving. If he was would she be where she is now. That’s also the beauty of musical theatre. It’s actors choice who to perceive the lyrics and also I guess an audiences own personal perception of that. I love her performance of ‘She used to be Mine’ Jessie Mueller is stunning! I’ll try and find a stage version. We’ve got a new voting system so I’ll eventually add it to there. X We’re also going live on Sunday 💙

[@IMDEC813]

You guys are so great with what you do. The way you do the review is very informative, this channel is very conducive to learning. Keep it up!

[@kaalamankusinaatkantahan3487]

If my memory serves right, the locket was the only memorabilia that Fantine's mom has ever left her.

[@alphashanahan4323]

Pure gold. Yes, that's Lea. But i am also talking about this review. Thank you so much!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank you!!! ✨✨

[@algrand52]

There are singers and there are performers, and then there is Lea Salonga.

[@francoisjames02110]

Your reviews are always great! We learned a lot about the intricacies and complexities of singing and theatre. And at the same time, entertained on your reactions. @christian - the way you raised your brows twice... and did you whispered “cheeky” as she was singing “then I was young and unafraid..”? Love it! 😉🥰 Suggesting another “Lea” Miserables reaction video. 😉 Fantine’s Arrest. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmipaWmAaL-obJY Especially the part of “you let your foreman send me away” and the emotions on “I never did no wrong”. Every time I watch that part, breaks my heart.

[@donboscotarlacguidancetest9004]

please please please make a reaction vidoe on her Miss Saigon scenes, like I'd Give My Life for You or Sun and Moon

[@nowthen.4363]

Right now ‘I’d give my life for you’ is winning for our live review on Sunday! You can vote on the ‘Community’ section on the channel xx Beautiful suggestions. Thank you

[@norbertopineda8939]

Your reactions were quite wholistic and awe inspiring in the sense that you delved on both form and style of the artist's performance while you relate them to the story and back story of the play, as you sweetened it by sincerely offering how you feel about them. I am impressed. Very good job to you both. And thank you for enriching my knowledge on and depth of emotions for Le Mis. More of this, please.

[@nowthen.4363]

Ah thanks so much Notberto!! We will get on some more Lea reactions soon!! 💙

[@edselfusio4354]

WOW LEA WOW. GREAT REVIEW GUYS ❤❤

[@ajrcastillo]

i love your review!! very thorough!!! i hope you can watch Lea Salonga in Royal Albert Hall this coming June =)

[@governometrics7842]

You have a good review. It is like I am in a classroom listening to teachers. But I actually not a musical person, and yet, I find this material highly educational. Excellent!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank you!! X

[@cherrgabor2013]

Thank you verry much!♥️♥️♥️

[@amadoparragua6989]

It's almost 3 in the morning and I've been glued to many video reactions such as this one, but man, this Then and Now's been the one I've been on the longest, I mean, they're not merely giving their opinions on the performance. They know the story as well of the musical it's like I'm being taken inside the story because I feel it the way they explain the artist's portrayal of the character through her emotion, diction and stuffs that I never would have noticed if they didn't explain it. I was so taken by the performance because of how detailed their analysis is.

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks so much Amado xx

[@meltambura2253]

You two are putting us in a master class when we watch your reaction videos, and it is brilliant that you use Lea's performances in this. Lea is world class and you guys are brilliant reactors! ❤

[@youngprice2226]

This is a very informative video, guys. Now I'm binge-watching all your vids. Lol

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank you! 😁

[@ryerye3406]

Next: Rachelle Anne Go's performance of Burn from Hamilton please... That brought me to tears

Expert review; I agreed with everything you guys said! New subscriber here =)

[@annemargaretinding4238]

Your editing and visuals are getting better! Wowowow! Thank you again for your reaction, yours is what I always await of especially when Lea's hehehe! I'm a huge fan! Hope you'll react to her "A little fall of rain" with Michael Ball!

[@nowthen.4363]

Hey Anne!! Thank you!!! 😍 We're working on it. We're doing a LIVE stream on Sunday. "A little fall of rain" is in the vote on the 'Community' section for our LIVE reaction. xx Give it a vote. But I'm sure we'll get round to it sometime

[@annemargaretinding4238]

Now Then. Yes2 I have voted already!

[@rosalindamary]

Yes

[@mariannec9154]

Thank you for all the reactions to Lea Salonga's performances. I am a fan of Lea and I have seen her perform in Les Misérables and Miss Saigon. Your reaction videos are very detailed and interesting. Bravo! By the way, the technique use in theater singing is different. The Broadway singers perform more than five times a week so they have to preserve their voice too.

[@mjs5663]

My eyes welled some more just hearing your review 😔😭😟😞 pulled me in through and through. Thank you

[@robertobutz993]

I’ve seen and watched a lot of reactions but this duo are not only intelligent but their analyses are interesting to listen and lots of substance to absorb and learn👍

Welcome xx

[@yoshiithelizard2664]

I think I heard that inside Fantine's locket there is a lock of Cosette's hair, so she carries Cosette with her even if they're far away from each other. Maybe I'm wrong tho, but I think I heard it or read it somewhere, maybe in the original novel.

[@nowthen.4363]

Maybe in the original novel yeah. I don’t remember. I have attempted to read it once...it’s long! X

[@evelinaluis4358]

She learned her craft in the Philippines. She was already an accomplished young actress even before she left the country. But lest we forget that she found her fame and fortune in the UK.
