Josh and Idina - "You and I" - Chess may 13th 2008

[liteupthestage]

I'm enjoying watching the camera guy go back and forth.

[rosebloodfaerie]

OMG. Chillllllls/teaaaars.

[ChenzelElph]

2:28 You see the camera pass infront. I find that funny :)

[ChenzelElph]

I am soooo jealouse!!!! You got to see Josh Groban, Idina Menzel, and Adam Pascal!!!! I would do almost anything to see Idina Menzel live!!!!!

[monstergirl1155]

@ChenzelElph Jepp, Idina sounds squeeky at times - but oh my Josh... What a night.... We even met Adam P and got a picture with him afterwords, while waiting for Josh :)

[ChenzelElph]

@monstergirl1155 You are so lucky!!!

[Vulrina]

This song makes me cry

every.

time.

[iloveidinamenzel1]

This part is so sad!

[GrabbaGrippa]

I was lucky enough to be part of the Philippine production in 1996 which starred Miss Saigon stars Monique Wilson and Leo Valdes. It was a beautiful experience and quite a number of songs are actually radio-friendly and memorable. Anthem is my fave of them all.

[markcohen6969]

Go Josh and Idina! There's nothing more painful than unrequited love.

[anthonyhenrysmith]

the tempo is so fast thru this whole concert  were they on a time limit?

[ernesthroop]

this is "You and I Reprise" such a good song :)

[jazzymcjazzster]

I don't really Like Idina. Love Josh. Idina..Eh shes okay. I thought the actress who played his wife beat her out with emotion and voice.

[defygravitybewicked]

nooooo idina owns :) SHE OWNS. SHE JUST DOES. dont fight it :D

[kaytee94]

@jazzymcjazzster how the bloody hell can you just "not really like Idina"???

She's the best thing in the world!

[candide43201]

I totally agree.. this score got the best of Idina>> she knew it..she said it.. The voice of kerri ellis would have been a great florence.. she can handle the vocal weight and Tessitura

[jferrante42]

"I've been a fool to allow dreams to become great expectations." Um - hello! What a great lyric!

[elphie4evergreen]

awesome!!!! Idina is so amazing, finally someone with all this talent and heart, love her!

[doodlebug9292]

we watched this in my vocal class and i swear i almost broke down during half of this musical. everyone was so wonderfully cast and this song just brings down the house!

[Jacquee9]

Bring back Michael Ball and Elaine Page. This woman's voice is just a din - poor Josh being close to that racket

[defygravitybewicked]

shut the hell up jacquee. your mean. shes awesome. get a life.

[bxrgirl]

I LOVED Idina in this show. I never really liked her before because I felt that she forced her voice in previous roles. However, this show seems completely natural for her and I believe that her Florence is the best I've seen. I love Sutton Foster, but Menzel far outshines her.

[rbeccav]

This is so AWESOME, even if you hate musical theater this is one that will blow that thought out of your mind. Josh,Idina,Adam......... WOW...... It's addictive. I got the DVD and knew I loved "Anthem" but wasn't sure what I'd think of the ENTIRE DVD. I am seriously addicted 2 it, from beginning 2 end-and it's long- I swear, this is so amazing, even my "Emo/Hatchet man" that hates everything 16yr old daughter will stop & listen 2 it......... THAT SAYS A LOT :)

[MusicTheatre4Life]

there vibrato matches perfectly

[roodie2155]

They work so well together!! Absolutely amazering!!!

[ElvishGeek101]

You know, I love Idina but I just can't get a feel for her in this part. I think she was great in Wicked and Rent, but this role isn't really her character.

[popertop]

it's called contrast

[laurahagen0422]

I LOVE IDINA MENZEL AND JOSH GROBAN!!! :D

They both are amazing and give me chills!! I wish I could've seen this live :)

[IdinaMenzelFanVideos]

Anyone know why I cant see this on the west coast?

[RENTfanatic2011]

umm, those of you below saying that the DVD is being released on a later date... it's available now on Amazon. In fact, this fantastic DVD is sitting in my bedroom right now, fresh in my DVD player. You can own it now, and believe me, it's fantastic!!

[lsocer008]

i just saw this on pbs...it was amazing, i love this music, such talent!

[houseape72]

PBS tomorrow. As they say, check local listings.

[nujac321]

He sounds flat. Was Elaine Paige out of the country??

[KnittingShieldMaiden]

THIS IS GOING TO COME ON DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­?????? June 16th of...09 I presume? PLEASE SAY YES!!!! Oh my gosh. I've grown up listening to Chess (the original cast recording) it's my favorite Broadway show of all. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Josh and I LOVE Idina! Because I've listened to it my whole life I've always wanted to see it, but could never find it. PLEASE say that it's coming out on DVD June 16th 2009!!!

~Purl~

[Gabriella189]

I think they've made the release date later now :(

[MiiszboRedDnRaNduMmz]

check out josh groban's site of Idina's. They both have the DVD. and idina's site has this special package that includes sheet music to two of the songs. Check it out!

[ncrunch]

goosebumps

[orpheusads]

they're singing wonderfully and such a fabulous score - such a shame the conductor is RUBBISH!

[beautifullytragic4]

These are my all time favorite singers of all time, TOGETHER!! woo, how lovely! =D

[medicvet]

I would give anything to see this play live someday. Or even a dvd of a performance. Or even just the original Chess with the black cover and not the 'other' version.

[iheartjoshgroban]

A CD/DVD of this concert is being released in June.

[medicvet]

Thank you, I will get it as soon as i see it. :)

[katlin8807]

it's gonna be on t.v.!! I don't know what channel or anything, but it's gonna be on on june 17th! I can't remember where I heard that at, but it's def programmed into my phone so I don't forget! lol So look for it when that time comes around!

[phanLv14]

its going to be on pbs...check your local listings closer to june 17. i cant wait!

[jferrante42]

Thank you for posting. I wish I could have been there. Amazing. Two of my favorite performers in one place!

[cedarstreet]

K - They are awesome but why are the words changed from the original, the original words are better, oh, check out The Magazine Show it has original words.

[tinytimton]

Regardless, this is the final version of the song. Tim Rice has stated that this entire concert is the definitive Chess show--any song or lyric that has been added or changed for this production is the final product.

[FanFromPoland58]

Josh & Idina in Chess...this is it !!!

I can't stop watching them !!!

At last I want to thank you for posting :)

[Kylouch]

This Song Is AMAZING

[Pelznase]

We were there at May 13th.Enjoy our clips too!Great performances of all!Great voices! Josh was the best of course, Idina and Kerry were amazing too!I got an autograph from Kerry,wow!We met Josh earlier-yes,he is so sweet.We met his parents at the car-Joshs dad recognized us from L.A. and waved and smiled to us.Josh waved to us too-he knows us from a special concert with unbelievable experiences,really...What a nice guy...

[myfebsong]

I've met Josh Groban - he's a very sweet person. He went to a lot of trouble to be nice to my grandson after a concert. I doubt most of us would be as nice as he is to his fans.

[gogogirliez]

Damn Straight!! <3

[gogogirliez]

I dont understand why people hate Idina so much. Surley this performance proves shes outstanding???

[datalal624]

Agreed! Idina is AWESOME! Her singing is flawless!

[maesamson44]

I don't hate Idina ...She's awesome...but I guess its because Josh kissed her... :D

Love ya Josh!!!

[kayp29]

I was there on both nights. The first night Josh left via Door 11 & was signing things for fans. It was a bit crazy, so I just stood back happy that I got to see him.

On night two, we walked around the venue for a bit. At first it looked like he'd be leaving from Door 8. So I was just hung back near Door 9. But then, he came out Door 9 & I was second in line to get an autograph. I was so excited. That totally made my night.

Given the fan base for different stars, I think it made sense.

[Dulosten]

Guess we were standing not far from eachother, was in the crowd near the car both nights:)

[MvyMkr]

Ok, I just felt bad for some of the upset fans. I would have been gutted have I missed Idina.

I didn't mean to say he was a bad person, just that was my personal opinion. Sorry if I offended, just thought it was a tad off.

[MvyMkr]

The door actors ALWAYS leave through is the "STAGE DOOR!" It has a sign and it's there partly so actors know where to come and go and partly so fans will know where to stand. I went on 12th and saw most of the principal cast leave... Idina spent the longest time and made SURE she signed for everyone.

Josh did not leave out of the stage door which is the designated door for actors to go in and out through! Sorry, but that is just fact!

[runandrewrun]

I would absolutely love to see Gavin Creel playing Groban's role.

[LEIADV]

I was fortunate to receive a hug from Josh at the Milwaukee Wisconsin Awake Concert at the Bradley Center in August, 2007.

He came out in the parking lot after the show to sign autographs.

My sister received one of the drum sticks that he used when he played the drums.

If you ever have a chance to see him in concert, you will never regret it.

Stardom just never went to his head.

He is so good to his fans.

[MvyMkr]

DOES HE PLAY THE DRUMS!? He's just upped in cool points if he does!!!

He wasn't very nice to his fans on 12th, he left through another door. It was Idina who was the only one who actually took time. She's just so lovely :-D

Anywho's, theur voices go well together :-)

[nanotechcre8or]

He does indeed play the drums. SO AMAZING.

[MvyMkr]

OMG! Are there vids on here??? *searches* He'd better be good. I'm a tough judge lol.

[Foh9UK]

I was there on 13th. Idina came out from stagedoor and spend lots of time signed autographs, took pictures with fans, reached out and took my hand to give me a friendly handshake. I also had a nice chat with her and her father. They were really nice and friendly. I missed Josh cause he went out from the front door. Just saw his car moved away. What a big shame!

[MvyMkr]

Yeh that really pissed me off, he went out of a different door!!! Like how is that fair! It didn't bother me at all but there were loads of fans there!

And that's AWESOME you chatted with her and her dad - Lucky!!! Was Taye there?

[Foh9UK]

Taye wasn't there. Idina's dad went through stagedoor with Idina's mom, then he called for the car. And they went away. What a nice family.

[LEIADV]

I was fortunate enough to get a hug from Josh Groban at the August 2007 A

[grobanluvva]

i would love a hug and kiss from the very beautiful and wonderful josh groban!

[bpool1928]

I watched this part again and it was a long, long kiss and a very sweet wrap a round hug, so you are probably right. many young girls would be very upset about that kiss. Thanks for telling me why, why it could have very painful. bp

[littlepianistgirl]

Was this from the 2nd night? They must have kissed on the first night only, LOL. :D

[Dulosten]

Jupp, it`s from the 2nd night:) Good thing they didn`t kiss again... it was painful to watch... LOL

[ladona2728]

why???

[bpool1928]

Why was it painful?

[bpool1928]

tell us why ...why was it so painful?

[Dulosten]

Well, maybe somebody were a bit jealous...? Hahaha

[lalalaand]

I sure it would be painful! When your heart breaks into a million pieces...it stings a little. :)

[FinchN9]

i didnt think it was painful to watch. was kinda funny tho the sound the mic's made. maybe thast why. you heard a little slurp noise! lol

[MvyMkr]

I liked it. It was beautifully awkward and very true to what I would imagine it would be like.

[debs77777]

What a lovely and poignant duet--thank you for posting! I hope Josh and Idina bring this show to Broadway someday! :)
