Sonya is the guardian angel against fuckboys the hero we need

[@estrellamartinez1458]

Lillian Sunshine she's a hero with no cape

[@lolgurl141]

Lillian Sunshine this made my day💕

[@cosmiccrux]

Lillian Sunshine nOT ALL HEROS WEAR CAPES

[@andioop1618]

Lillian Sunshine I wonder where she was for me years ago now 😂😂😂

[@andioop1618]

K a l a w a k a n SOME OF THEM WEAR FLAWLESS WHITE DRESSES WITH FLAWLESS BUNS AND BANGS IN THEIR HAIR

[@irinakermong1217]

Seriously, Brittain Ashford could totally have a pretty solid indie career. Her voice is just as gorgeous as it is unique.

[@anarchoshaggy-ism3925]

Irina Kermong She does have a solid indie career

[@sanjnab8383]

Avadno Saile lol savage

[@lexschmidt703]

SHE DOES AND ITS AMAZING

[@dottie9647]

I was thinking exactly that

[@buginatree6816]

she’s got the lead singer of a band called Prairie Empire

[@kcorona7715]

SONYA IS THE MOST WHOLESOME CHARACTER WHO DESERVES THW WORLD THAT IS ALL

[@yohanna7430]

K Corona HER FIANCE RUNS AWAY AND MARRIES PRINCESS MARY AND SONYA STAYS ALONE FOREVER!! I HATE THIS ENDING! SHE DESERVES SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS!!

[@kcorona7715]

Teal yoshi OKAY BUT ALSO WHY DO ONLY 3 FAMILIES EXIST IN RUSSIA

[@yohanna7430]

K Corona YEAH LIKE IS EVERYONE RELATED IN SOMEWAY ??

[@Shweiss4]

[@Rose-nk6qu]

Sarah Weissman I ship Mary and Sonya!!

[@cheryl5167]

this cleansed my soul, cured my depression, cleared my skin. my life is brightened

[@AshlynVandergrift]

[@christicrenshaw2772]

cHERYL yeo so true

[@melroth1092]

it's even better when you know that this song was literally written for her to sing, it's perfectly made for her & her voice 💗

[@reidepetty619]

Sonya really IS good while André isn't here

[@melissaelmer65]

HOW WAS THIS MINDBLOWINGLY TALENTED PERSON NOT NOMINATED FOR A TONY

[@maggiehunter3644]

every time i see her perform this it's a little different and it always surprises me. considering the fact that she's already recorded this back in 2013 the original cast and now again with the original broadway cast and it's still different is very difficult to do, but she is simply that talented. this video was stunning, the new recording was stunning, and it is simply more than stunning when performed live. i love you, brittain!

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

I'm sad as hell that this show is closing so soon. People don't know what they are missing. I thought it was much better and more moving than "Dear Evan Hansen." It deserves so much more than it is getting.

[@jomydonegan3863]

I'm so mad I wasnt into musicals when it was on bc it's one of my favourites now ❤

[@BertCCRI]

Just gorgeous. I have seen Brittain perform this song seven times onstage in the show, and it is always as moving as it is here. A very well-produced video.

[@somewhatsecret]

Anyone else getting Florence Welch vibes from her, physically and vocally? Totally can see her covering this

[@mariarl3303]

Yes !!! like Tolstoy meets Florence and the Machine! Cosmic Love... "The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart......" Passionate love is like a comet, tearing through her Russian soul....

[@MediaLover194]

somewhatsecret they even kind of look alike, that maybe because they're both redheads.

[@lolgurl141]

maria rowley love this comment

[@jamie-mf6wk]

YES. I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING THAT

[@anditamayo4022]

WHY THE HELL ISN'T THIS A THING YET??????!!!!!

[@camara1194]

I FINALLY listened to the whole show and this is one of my favorite numbers. When she says "Because I miss my friend." i felt it so hard.

[@audreycoldwell]

who disliked this like how can you dislike this

[@willam9950]

Probably Old Prince Bolkonsky, that guy is crazy.

[@ChickenGeorgeClooney]

Probably Natasha because that's something she'd do.

*Those heartless MONSTERS*

[@rawrimapanda7544]

So I just happened upon this gem cause I was just looking up “Sonya” cause that’s my name and I got curious and here I am crying over a song I’ve never heard before cause the background to it is so sweet and I just felt her character so much 😭 how beautiful this is!

[@thegayestnb925]

HI SONYA WERE NAME TWINS

[@kylejde]

SAW her twice at Comet off-broadway (kazino) then saw her in Ghost Quartet twice (Bushwick and McKittrick)and got to see her 2 weeks ago on Broadway in comet...On stage seating and I was about 10 feet from her during this nukmber...my favortie from the show

[@maddiejorgensen1562]

Kyle DeBlasio That's soooo cool!!

[@kylejde]

she was robbed...she should have gotten a tony nomination

[@probablygayattorneys6556]

I just moved states recently and had to leave behind all of my friends and I've been missing them an awful lot lately and this just made me cry so hard.

[@aprilsalad]

Sonya Hard as it is, In the coming days, I watch my friend In her strange, unnatural state Don’t let her out of my sight She trails off Stares at nothing Laughs at random And the letters come She waits by the window And I listen at the door 'Til one day, I see by the Sad look on her face There's a dreadful plan in her heart I know you are capable of anything I know you so well my friend I know you might just run away What am I to do? Who do I ask for help? Is it all on me? Is it all on me? But I will stand in the dark for you I will hold you back by force I will stand here right outside your door I won’t see you disgraced I will protect your name and your heart Because I miss my friend I know you’ve forgotten me I know you so well my friend I know you might just throw yourself over But I won’t let you I won’t let you It’s all on me And I remember this family I remember their kindness And if I never sleep again I will stand in the dark for you I will hold you back by force I will stand here right outside your door I won’t see you disgraced I will protect your name and your heart Because I miss my friend Because I miss my friend Because I miss you, my friend

[@kcorona7715]

okay but imagine jessie mueller as sonya

[@gailsf]

K Corona you're onto something

[@IlastarothTayre]

woah. wOAH.

[@stephpiano2908]

I NEED Brittain to cover She Used To Be Mine at some point

[@michelledizon4860]

OH SHIT, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I WANTED THIS

[@kananagata2813]

And Brittain Ashford as Jenna

[@eirikastokes9652]

Brittain's voice just screams "beautifully and uniquely weird" and I adore it.

[@reillyvail3616]

This has cleansed and repaired my broken soul, allergies, and healed my grades

[@Miranda-kq9eg]

I just discovered this song today. Since then, I've listened to it at least 20 times and learned it on the piano and cried over it. I've been ruined

[@kimberlyelliott655]

Miranda J I did this today except on ukulele

[@kimrinabarger3086]

As wonderful as she is in this video, Ms. Ashford is a knockout when performing it live. The 2nd time I saw "Great Comet'", she gave me goosebumps.

[@hannahweinraub5902]

Kim Rinabarger ugh me too. so talented

[@madilopez6384]

When my sister went she saw Ingrid

[@kitteridgesimpson8144]

At what point can she join the voice cures cancer club?

[@christicrenshaw2772]

Kiersten Simpson I know beautiful

[@bethhillman9222]

Her voice is so unique but it's absolutely beautiful!!😍 so emotional and wonderful! I love the great comet so much!☄❣🎭🎶

[@laughfrodisiac2400]

It's impossible to avoid doing the lisp when I sing this song :D it's ingrained

[@ombreflowers6871]

this song got me through a near breakdown in the bathroom so thank you Sonya

[@kittendonut]

[@denysegallardo8244]

now I really want to see Brittain sing "Once Upon A Dream"

[@neonsillystring3823]

Dee Gee I want to hear her sing "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes"

[@violetta7853]

She's stunnig! Just like her voice (and that dress! 😍😍)

[@patriciaventricelli8038]

Brittain has such a beautiful voice and the song is exquisite.

[@nickiebarron6016]

It is normal to hide in the bathroom and cry alone after this song, right?

[@wackiekebab6482]

yep

[@rosywatkins8786]

I relate to this song on an almost freaky level. That mixed with Brittain's vocals is enough to bring me to tears. Thank you, Dave Malloy. This is truly a masterpiece.

[@ellabellaschaos1876]

Same :)

[@missdesmd]

Had the honor of seeing her in the show a month ago. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced. Brilliance all around.

[@MediaLover194]

when I saw the show, I thought she would be a perfect Carole King in Beautiful.

[@kellydavis3219]

2:52 shatters your damn soul every time

[@kidsarmknecht8354]

I KNOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ellabellaschaos1876]

I relate to this song completely. I cry every time I hear it. Like Sonya, I would do anything for the people I care about, and I would choose their happiness and wellbeing over mine every time (little Hamilton reference.) Thank you so Dave Malloy for writing, and to Brittain Ashford for singing, this song that I resonate with so deeply.

[@AryaBeltaine]

brittain is so beautiful !! her voice is so beautiful !! sonya is so beautiful !! her acting is so beautiful !!
