  • Great voice--

  • Beautiful. Brings back memories of my final year in high school... Oh, whatever happened to my singing voice...!!!

  • Kim has a breathtaking voice...

  • it is as good as the original!!! Thank you!!!

  • amazing! 

  • ugh.  The band at the end?

  • I love it! Thanks for sharing.

  • I just love Kim's hair!!

  • BRAVO Ladies, BRAVO!!! I can't believe this is a HS production.  Beautiful!

  • A++++++++++++++++++++

  • It makes me really happy that "amazing" is the tags. :) These two girls really are incredibly talented. And this was three years ago! They are even better now! Pearce really is so proud of them both. <3

  • Nothing wrong with Chris' acting that having his shirt off wouldn't have fixed...

  • ELLEN'S VOICE.. ILOVIT

  • Wow! Great Job!!!!!!

  • This is so good for a high school production, such amazing voices. These girls are gonna go so far in life!!

  • Fantastic voices..shame about the orchestra!

  • That was marvelous!!! Close to broadway.

  • OMG I love the girl who played Ellen's voice!!

  • BRAVO!!!! EXCELLENT JOB. VERY WELL DONE... SAW THE BROADWAY PERFORMANCE....AND IT IS VERY COMPARABLE...GOOD JOB GIRLS!!!!

  • This video is nothing short of brilliant. I am in awe!

  • 3 people don't believe.

  • Kim (Elizabeth Judd) is preparing for her national nonequity tour as Wendla in Spring Awakening this year! Pearce is so proud!

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!

  • @konnichi13 Iknow

  • very very nice!!!!! bravo!

  • Ellen has an amazing voice xx

  • High schoolers?!?! Wow, I wish I was this good when I was in high school!! Awesome job girls!

  • love the filming at 3:06

  • Wow. You have an Amazing voice. Well done!

  •  SHE should audition for the MOVIE.. Articles say "they're" looking for a girl to play Kim that can keep up with Mrs. Lea Salonga's vocals. I think SHE actually could. :)

  • WOW!!

  • I have directed a number of plays/musicals and I can tell you that when you have talent like this stroll in to audition it is a real joy

  • Just read on Playbill.com that Elizabeth Judd who plays Kim on here, will star on the new National Tour of Spring Awakening as Wendla! Good for her!

  • Whoa!!!!! This is amazing!!!!!!!!

  • fantanstic voice kim !!

  • amazing... <3<3

  • Outstanding

  • they did a really great job.

    i think the girl who played kim could have gave a little more but its okay.

    the girl who played ellen was fantastic.

  • @TheatreGuy141

    I feel the complete opposite. Kim blows Ellen away here. Both in pure technique and emotion. It's not even close.

  • @sardoniclysane I totally agree, Kim is amazing in this song :o)

  • @TheatreGuy141 - I have no idea what you're talking about. The gal playing Kim was absolutely equal to the girl playing Ellen. Neither of them is a polished actress, but their voices are equally strong. In fact I'm not sure why Ellen kept turning the word "I" into two syllables, or why her vocal coach didn't correct it. Tough to listen to.

  • @semelecharter I agree with you about the voices both are really good. Elizabeth Judd who plays Kim on here, played Wendla in the recent national tour of Spring Awakening. In my opinion Elizabeth showed more emotion in her singing here.

  • oh my!! Take your play on the road! So amazing!

  • WOW! Amazing voices on these High Schoolers!

  • this girl who plays kim is outstanding...she deserves broadway ...her vocals are so strong like a young lea .

  • AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!

  • Wow! So unreal!

  • i dont get it in part 10 chris told kim he's gonna take her with him

  • @roxylaqueen100

    It skips three years and about half way through the second act shows why she didn't go with him

  • @roxylaqueen100

    She Still Beleives.....;0

  • I usually don't like seeing high school productions of big musicals, but this girl did a really good job.

  • cough* future lea salonga *cough

  • oh mah god! that kim's voice is freakin amazing! so beautiful and full of emotion just like lea salonga :D

  • very nice...

  • These are amazing videos. Fantastic acting, and outstanding voices. Was this an arts school?

  • @MrJones1337 She'll be the new Wendla on tour in Spring Awakening next year.

  • god i wish i could sing like this

  • Woops sorry i accidently clicked a thumbs down, i dont mean it, just forget its there :s Lol x x

  • i have seen the Manila production,, the most expensive production of Miss Saigon,...its fantastic,,,, but for a high school to do such brilliant production,,, it was great , i cant believe they are high school,,, no comparison on the broadway/london/manila production,,, very impressive for High school level...

    i love the Chris here' he's such a hottie!

  • *blinks* WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fantastic gave me goose bumbes =]

    AMAZING

  • What nationality is your Kim? Like the amazing super talented actress? haha And SamTSchweikert were you in the play? Were you Chris I'm trying to figure it out from your tiny proflie pic.

  • OMG

    u are a really good singer!!

    lovee it! xx

  • An absolute stellar performance from both of these girls

  • bravo!

  • this would be good if they said "buh-lieve" like it's supposed to be and not "bee-lieve"

  • ummm no... have you heard people sing buh-lieve? it sounds AWFUL!

  • lea salonga and claire moore say buh-lieve. i guess you think they sound awful. these girls are very good singers, but bee-lieve sounds weird.

  • lea and claire (who are amazing singers, by the way) say beh-lieve. i guess beeeee-lieve would sound weird but if you hear someone really say buhh-lieve it sounds really bad.

  • i see what you're saying, i guess thats what i meant, it's kind of hard to explain pronunciations in typing lol.

  • that girl playing Kim definitely has a future in broadway (all the main vocals actually) or something along that line. what a voice! ellen also is wonderful. just amazing!

  • Completely agree about the girl who plays kim!

    And the girl who plays Ellen is only 14!

    I actually LOVE this version!

    xxxxxxxxx

  • The voices are lovely, but I don't think they understand the true meaning of this song. It is a very strong song between 2 girls in love with the same man at different times ( but apart) one doesn't know where her love is, and the other doesn't know why her love is dreaming what he does, and 'doesn't know why he is dreaming the way he does. But lovely voices.

  • i think the girl playing ellen was good. the other girl playing kim is decent too but i'm so used to hearing lea in that part

  • Wow i love this song!!! the girl playing Kim did so good

  • wow both ladies did great...that girl is only 14? OMG where is this HS

  • Richardson, Texas :)

  • the band?!?!?

  • This would have been absolutely GORGEOUS if the orchestra was in tune. You can tell the singers are very talented because they kept the right pitch while the violins disagreed by up to a half step sharp or flat, depending.

  • Nice!.. More like a professional theater actor!

  • This was a High school production??? AMAZING! Wow, I am blown away.

  • this is great!!!!!! forget the other comments, this is exceptional! amazing job! :D

  • this one did justice to the original version, especially the one playing Kim...but it's just tragic to believe in something that's doomed from the start.

  • aww i love this!

  • woah.. she's awesome..

    :D

  • Yes...Ellen is Chris's wife. By reading the other comments, it says that this girl is only 14. She is outstanding!

  • Is Ellen Chris's wife?

  • This Kim on this presentation was able to capture the emotion of the song . She is really good.

  • This Kim is as good as the original Kim in London and on Broadway, which was Lea Salonga. Great job!

  • she was good but she is NO Lea Salonga

  • Although the young lady on this video was pretty good playing as Kim and showed very great potential, Lea Salonga is still considered the original and best Kim ever, having won the Tony, Laurence Olivier, Drama Deak, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards for the same role that she was born to play. The Miss Saigon performances here were excellent for a high school production and the girl who played Kim reminds me so much of Lea 20 years ago.

  • I second that..

    :D

  • Lea, is that you? j/k Fabulous job by all!!

  • Bloody hell ! I really wasn't expecting that

    Have to say the audience could have been more enthusiastic, I'd have been jumping up and down and embarrassing myself :)

  • I think I'd rather see this cast than the original production.

  • really really astonishing... i think this is really great for a high school... the only thing that's only 95% perfect are the violins.. but who cares... thumbs up !

  • oh. my. gosh.

    these people are absofreakinglutely amazing!  elizabeth judd (kim) seriously belongs on broadway.

  • Great job

  • At 2:37 you can see the set move. that is not a very sturdy wall. LOL.... no- i love this production i am going to buy the DVD

  • where are you buying the dvd???

  • whoa ho ho this is a high school production?! good god.

    the girl who plays kim has a really great voice.

  • Fabulous!

  • wow. both of these girls have such mature and beautiful voices. I love this scene. =]

  • Oh my god, the girl playing Kim sounded almost EXACTLY like Lea Salonga by the end. 0_o

  • dear god amazing!!!!

  • Oh.

    My.

    God.

    AMAZING voices.

  • the girl who played ellen was 14?

    oh my god. shes amazing.

    :)

  • I pity the guy doing Chris being screamed at his ears point blank like that.

  • Dam, these two ladies are fantastic for being in highschool, kudos!

  • Both of the girls did a fantastic job. If this is what they are doing in high school, I can't wait to see what they will do on Broadway.I have two granddaughters who are making carreers in the music industry, so I know enough to be a fair critic. Good luck to both and a happy successful career.

  • how old is she?

  • She was 14. :)

  • Ellen was played byt the incredible 9th grader Chandler Reeves.

  • well she was super!

  • wow..they were unbelievable i can't believe this is a highschool production!

  • Can ou believe that Ellen was played by a 9th grader?

  • wow i think ellen sounds better in this song than in her other songs

  • Wow what a performance, i typed this song in as it is my favourite song from my favourite show, and must admit was a little dubious when i realised was a school production. But as i said WOW! I saw the original London production over 15 times including both shows on the last day, and your performances were excellent, hope you go into musical theatre, love to see you on stage one day

  • y did the guy leave kim?

  • he had to leave with the army

  • Kim has AMAZING pitch ! I love it !

  • I love this song and you guys do it really well!

  • their both fantastic. X

  • Wow. This scene done just like on Broadway. Fantastic!!
