This young performer (Chris Santiago) is not just singing this ballad, he is acting it. Listen to the changes in his voice. Fantastic performance. Best wishes for a bright future.

I DONT THINK YOU'RE STRAIGHT BRO

[@rustyshackleford8296]

Oh but I think he's very straight

[@pettylittleliarbussy]

@@latroletteeeee it’s so sad that you’re so narrow minded that you think a man paying another man a compliment means he’s gay. Even if he is, who cares. Weird comment.

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

Got to love how effortlessly he switches from a hoarse, underused voice to a lovely voice

[@collinlewis520]

It completely removes the character tho

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

Collin Lewis How?

[@collinlewis520]

@@ezelfrancisco1349 in musical theatre when you give a character a certain voice. Like how he gives himself that grungy voice. It has to stay consistent. You can't drop the accent just because of a song. Otherwise it completely ruins the illusion of that character being real

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

Collin Lewis I agree, but I think the reason his voice in hoarse in dialogue is because that’s what the other characters hear. When he’s in soliloquy, it’s clear because that’s what he hears

[@marcomotroni]

Collin Lewis the switch in dialect was intentional. It’s symbolic of his inner beauty despite a coarse voice and strange look to him. Remember, this song is meant to show his deepest feelings.

[@QuangLe-qk3nv]

The movies and play is a masterpiece. Heaven's Light is a person wishing to be loved, to be accepted. Meanwhile Hellfire is a person demand love. Both wanted loved. But each went different ways to achieve it.

[@shine01120]

I've watched a few productions of this on KZbin, but the actor who plays Quasimodo in this production is the best. The way he walks, talks, everything makes you feel sympathy for him. And then his voice changes to sing songs like this perfectly.

[@missmusic6926]

I can just repeat it in every single comment: Chris‘ voice is totally amazing❤️

[@SgtSplatter782]

*watches video and walks away and can be heard muttering* where does all this talent come from? gotta be something in the darn water.... yeah it's the water....

[@maxxieassies]

Oh my... that voice... that acting

[@KevinDeBorger]

This was sung with so much feeling. Good job Chris

[@mayaloza27]

His Voice💛 I can't get over this preformance

[@moonbunny24]

This guy’s performance does a really good job of balancing the movie version and musical version! His voice has that sweet quality to it that I adore about Movie!Quasi and found myself really missing when I listened to the cast recording (not that that version isn’t also good-just my personal preference). I’m very, very impressed!

[@AB-fg4mh]

Woah! This guy's voice is phenomenal!

[@mikhawirjosapoetro9212]

what a sweet yet powerful voice

[@joshualowe959]

Quasimodo is one of the manliest characters in Disney

[@alterPapst]

Great respect for the actors. I love musicals and have seen quite a few in Germany. But every time I am happy again when a video comes. Especially when there are such wonderful singers as in this piece. Good luck and success to the young artists.

[@Lunafroyo]

His voice 😍 this song always made me cry please 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 😭 😭 😭

[@josiemontero1022]

WHY AM I SOBBING??!!

[@ameliabearden686]

His performance was awesome. God gave him that talent.

[@jakeburrisx]

So many times out there I've watched a happy pair Of lovers walking in the night They had a kind of glow around them It almost looked like Heaven's light I knew I'd never know That warm and loving glow Though I might wish with all my might No face as hideous as my face Was ever meant for Heaven's light But suddenly an angel has smiled at me And touched my face without a trace of fright I dare to dream that she Might even care for me And as I ring the bells tonight My cold dark tower seems so bright I swear it must be Heaven's Light

[@melodyflame9928]

BRO I DROPPED MY PHONE WHEN HE STARTED SINGING

[@ashleypenn7845]

Man, watching this makes me miss my high school drama club so much. I haven't trod the boards in years.

[@saturos3093]

Literally the only thing I have to gripe about it his costume. It just looks too clean and new. Other than dude, BRAVA. This was such a sweet, sentimental version. I loved the switch between Quasi's speaking voice and his inner monologue. Gorgeous.

[@jdrnckk]

This song was always a Disney favourite of mine. Thank you for making it a live version favourite as well.

[@knowledgeaddict1192]

Oh my gushhh. Greatest ever. Thanks a bunch you've shared these magical videos .

[@brigitbecker7512]

Beautiful....just beautiful.

[@carriebrady1374]

I dream of seeing this show live on Broadway. It would be impressive as all get out.

[@BrokeLevy]

I have never once clicked on a video so fast.

[@RAN20097]

This is the only play that they cast everyone perfectly I also how they cast what appears to be their drama teacher as the king he was older in the book.

[@jaybonn5973]

My god this Chris guy. Hes going places.

[@disneyvillainrocket1]

I always sing that song whenever I think of princess Ariel back at Disney world since Halloween 2013 when I was dressed as venom from Spider-Man 3

[@mezzogal]

That was sublime. ❤️

[@dampsocc]

Wow

[@anyaacoliz9783]

Cast him as Aladdin if you ever produce it

[@Cloudychanceofgrey]

It’s a little slow for me but the performance is perfect in every other way!

[@esmeralda1882]

Where do I find the whole of this beautiful musical?

[@esmeralda1882]

@@shoeling Thank you so much

[@yougosquishnow]

I love the line change. It always bothered me that the line in the movie didnt rhyme. The original line is "kissed my cheek without a trace of fright" and i always thought, even as a teen, "touched my face without a trace is right there"

[@ajsvolleyballteam9486]

beautifully sung. Just too slow. I actually miss the intent of the song because of how long it takes to hear a phrase. Again beautifully sung, awesome voice. But sometimes slower is not better.

[@taylornation320]

I agree. Still beautiful but the notes hung on too long

[@georginaarmstrong6381]

Said your older have money your light heartbeat were souls er dinner you

[@mezzogal]
