Argh! Saw her perform this live for Amelie at Berkeley Rep! It was amazing! Wish she was able to perform on the original Broadway recording that's coming out soon. I've been dying for it, but I'll take this folksy version as my consolation prize. So sad she went back to England to do The Last Five Years. I really want to know why she left such an awesome show because though I love Phillippa Soo's rendition, Barks knocked it out of the park!

[@lesjacobs8530]

The role was originally written for Phillipa, you have to be prepared to lose and gain in show business. I 100% agree though, Samantha was amazing in this.

[@Reveredjedi]

@@lesjacobs8530 yeah I saw and heard both versions, but knowing that I still love Samantha’s the most surprisingly. Sad it didn’t make it big on Broadway.

[@georgechlada4868]

Why isn't she famous? Ugh, she was ripped away from this role so undeservedly. She sounds so amazing.

[@athenachen7770]

She is pretty famous though. I mean she was Eponine in the Les Mis movie.

[@georgechlada4868]

Athena Chen not famous enough to have producers want her to continue in Amelie.

[@lynnchoi8762]

George Chlada they wrote the role specifically for pippa, so you can't really blame them for wanting her to play the role...

[@johnsheehan7215]

@Rachel H from my perspective it sounds like a iconic classic tales. A tale of someone who was in the Middle ground of something and nothing. And white men white men see got her wings so to speak and she was about to fly someone came along and swiped her way her glory. Swiped away her victory of finally have achieve something in her life that she loved. That he loved to do only to have her happy ending stolen from her by someone else. This is the classic iconic story of a innocence who is made out to be the bad girl the villain. In my mind I will pray as hard as I can one day he will get her revenge. It's like thinking about karma , karma , karma it's like that expression "every dog has its day". And this wonderful woman will have hers

[@cierra6940]

wish she was here in NYC making her broadway debut with this guy, but it'll happen someday. and i can't wait for that day

[@allegrafife1896]

You were right that she made her Broadway debut! She’s simply brilliant

[@alisatsang2879]

OMG AMELIE

[@robynyoung333]

i just got so many chills bless you amélie the musical

[@thingsbloom3551]

Stay, where you are, don't come to close, and don't go, to far, I'll make you count to 100, so I have a good chance to hide, don't expect me to play fair, movin on move, even deeper inside, I like you right there, your photograph, so many stories torn in half, tape up the pieces, and here were are back again, frozen in place, feeling and looking the same, everyone knows that it's easy to smile, safe in a frame, safe in a frame, stay, I hear you coming, what can I do to drown out this roaming, no turning back now, that you took the bread crumbs, I left as a guide, don't expect me to play fair, movin on move, even deeper inside, I like you right there, I like you right there, stay, stay, stay, stay where you are, safe in a frame, tried to move closer, you only get halfway, hand down your heart, put out the flame, don't come any closer, but don't move away, stay where you are, safe in a frame, tried to move closer, you only get halfway, hand down your heart, put out the flame, don't come any closer, but don't move away, stay, stay, stay. (Unsure if she said roaming or not, please let me know if it's something different)

[@biiianciii888]

lolopop91 Msp thank you soooo much!

[@bridypalisi8699]

lolopop91 Msp I'm pretty sure she says "drumming" instead of roaming, that's just what I hear

[@biiianciii888]

Bridy Palisi I listened to Philippa Soo's version (at least a part of it is finally on KZbin) and I think it's drumming

[@thingsbloom3551]

Yeah. It is. The lyrics can be found on genius.com. Along with some others.

[@PianoDisneygal10]

The intro reminds me of some of the music I heard in Ireland when I was there studying abroad.

[@biiianciii888]

this made me cry

[@jackmcdonnell8505]

I’m so in love with her right now!

[@fierybookworm]

Utterly gorgeous

[@broadwaysweetie]

While I'm not really a fan of hers, this song is PERFECTION.

[@mahaali1588]

[@miraais1319]

She's good but I like Pippa voice a lot more... Pippa voice is more strong and clear while Samantha version is more soft.

[@skylar_sparks]

Moonie ee In my opinion they are both Equally good they both have Beautiful voices and They both Deserve Credit for being able To play the part

[@hamiltrashlol5317]

Phillipa also sang that version!

[@stevenvalencia6353]

You have such an amazing voice you should do a cover of jessica rabbit's Do right i think you would rock it

[@ao6031]

Does anyone know why Samantha left "Amélie"?

[@audreyv5142]

Anna O'Donnell She probably didn't "leave". She just wasn't cast for the broadway show because Philippa Soo got the part instead.

[@BextheGet]

I could be wrong but I think Samantha got cast in Bitter Harvest so she had to leave to go film that. Not sure that's the primary reason but I'm sure it definitely had something to with it.

[@lilims123]

Becca Gettler No, Samantha filmed Bitter Harvest a long time ago. I think they just chose Pippa. I've seen both live and both are incredible. Sam will get her shot one day.

[@louise9489]

Phillipa actually did the workshop before Samantha's stint at the Berkeley. I guess they're giving her the part back since she's done with Hamilton.

[@fluffbradford]

Not sure if this is related but Samantha started filming a movie version of the musical Strike!. I'm not sure if the timelines match up but that could be a reason.

[@jaimeealonso5052]

Someone please make a karaoke of this track!!

[@biiianciii888]

can anyone write the lyrics? It's not easy to understand everything if you're not a native speaker

[@thingsbloom3551]

Stay, where you are, don't come to close, and don't go, to far, I'll make you count to 100, so I have a good chance to hide, don't expect me to play fair, movin on move, even deeper inside, I like you right there, your photograph, so many stories torn in half, tape up the pieces, and here were are back again, frozen in place, feeling and looking the same, everyone knows that it's easy to smile, safe in a frame, safe in a frame, stay, I hear you coming, what can I do to drown out this roaming, no turning back now, that you took the bread crumbs, I left as a guide, don't expect me to play fair, movin on move, even deeper inside, I like you right there, I like you right there, stay, stay, stay, stay where you are, safe in a frame, tried to move closer, you only get halfway, hand down your heart, put out the flame, don't come any closer, but don't move away, stay where you are, safe in a frame, tried to move closer, you only get halfway, hand down your heart, put out the flame, don't come any closer, but don't move away, stay, stay, stay.

[@yayayay5898]

The fabulous Cucumber the lyrics already posted are slightly inaccurate Lyrics: Stay where you are Don't come too close and Don't Go too far I'll make you count to 100 so I have a good chance to hide Don't expect me to play fair Move in I'll move even deeper inside I like you right there Your Photographs So many stories Torn In half Tape up the pieces and here we are, back again, frozen in place Feeling and looking the same Everyone knows that it's easy to smile Safe in a frame Safe in a frame! Stay~ I Hear you coming What can I do to Drown Out this drumming No turning back now that you took the breadcrumbs I left as a guide Don't expect me to play fair Move in I'll move even deeper inside I like you right there I like you right there! Stay~ Stay~ Stay! Stay where you are! Safe in a frame! Try to move closer, you'll only get halfway! Pin down your heart! Put out the flame! Don't come any closer, but Don't move away! X2 Stay! Stay! Stay!

[@athanasia4878]

I love her voice but I don't think her transitions to each one were good
