Next to Normal Musical Part 12 of 12

[neontetra67]

This is the longest goodbye song ever.

[aznboiofpower]

This song broke my heart! Alice Ripley is amazing!!

[HaiaMaia]

I'll take a chance on living....

[Marthyxxbabie]

I kind of think I like Let There Be Light more than Light.

[Angelshavethephonebo]

this is the 50th time I've watched this I am the One reprise in 3 days, it's my favorite song right now. I just love the moment when Dan holds on to Gabe's hand-it gets me each time.

[wahi58]

grrrr

im crying lol

[mchammar416]

and this would be where i started bawling in the theater...

[TheJewishduckie]

Im the One (Reprise) Gets me every time.....

[pmoss182]

im in LOVE.

[troylester2305]

The lines of dialogue at the end of the song make my tear up every time!!

[sorg54]

I almost like this version of Light better.

[BroadwayBeauty90]

the break in his voice at 4:08 gets me everytime!

[Brothaman143]

i am the one who held you, i am the one who cried, i am the one who watched while you died... so freakin powerful

[julioclopezg]

@swivelskank I read that the show was reviewed before hitting broadway. Light was one of the songs that changed drastically.

[swivelskank]

WTF those are not the lyrics to LIGHT!

[musicaljones11]

@swivelskank this is before broadway. the lyrics were changed before brooadway.

[sorg54]

@swivelskank These are the lyrics for the off Broadway version of Light. There were revisions since the soundtrack was released.

[shane92992]

They won 3 tony's... not 2.

[bradsox95]

CRY EVERY-TIME

[Jezz1ca123]

Beautiful. I Am the One (reprise) is my favorite song of the show.

And when his voice cracked...so sad. I love this so much. Just beautiful.

[edidancer4life]

i cry when i listen to it on my ipod imagine live...im sobbbbinnnggg right now i lovee aaron sooo muchhh

[ythc11]

I have this vid. PM me if interested.

[Jadera13]

I never tear up at songs but this one hits so close to home i just cant help it!

[kojisatz]

This isn't the Broadway version, right?

[NoOnesBussiness]

@kojisatz yup. this is from the previews.

[Nick83115]

Brian D'Arcy James has a great voice but i have to say i'm not a big fan of his acting in this

[ErnieFairchild1]

@Nick83115 I feel the same way. Any video I've seen of him in this role, he literally looks like he's bored. He's just..singing. It's bizarre. I was in a rather similar situation as Dan at one point, being walked out on by a bipolar partner who decided THEY needed to walk away even though that seemed totally backwards and opposite of what made sense, and I defintiely didn't act bored like he does here haha. I was angry, upset beyond belief, betrayed..he does not convey these feelings.

[gladrial89]

@ErnieFairchild1 I think he was trying to portray a numb character who's afraid of letting emotion show because everyone else does so much of it. I have a father much like this and he gets all stoic when mom gets into one of her fits. For me, it made perfect sense because that's exactly how my father acts.

[AliaSparrow]

@gladrial89 And then he finally comes to terms with his emotions once he FINALLY acknowledges he still loves and misses his boy after so many years.

[Nick83115]

@ErnieFairchild1 yeah definitely! i'm glad you see what i'm saying

[blackdresses13]

this is my favorite scene in the entire show!!!!!!!!!

[prue6967]

"Hi, dad." OMG I cannot stop crying...as someone who's been battling depression for four years, this whole show really speaks to me.

[jus0111]

@prue6967 yep i know.......its a show of hope :)

[bonita358]

Powerful performance by all four. 

[prp134]

ahhh! I was literally sobbing when I watched this in Chicago, I was seating in the front row and was an arms length from the stage...soo powerful!!

[bradsox95]

i cry everytime i see i am the one (reprise) everytime i need to pause the video and compose myself to keep going.....

[issac97356]

Oh lord this is depressing D: I can't believe I've never known of this show until now. Oh my god so sad I can almost cry while arching it on my phone :(

[beckabrooke]

"i know you know who i am." "no..."

oh my goodness. i cannot watch this without the screen blurring. i saw the tour a few months ago, and me, my mom and my friend were crying for literally three fourths of the second half nonstop. once we got to a certain point in the show, the tears started coming and wouldn't stop. brilliant.

[2010cheche]

Even when I am listening to the Cast Recording I get chills with the "Hi Dad"

[disneyfundo99]

"...Hi Dad."...awe GOD, serious chiills!!

[asthefriendsSCREAM]

oh.my.god. i am the one reprise... hits me... right here...

[mchammar416]

my school's drama trip went to see this in 2009 and this was the point when we all lost it and were bawling like babies around 3:45

[broadwaylvr03]

i've never seen the show live :( but if a recording can make me cry, then that means this is a great musical!!

[coolness06]

@broadwaylvr03 The tour is going around the US right now. If it gets to a city near you, BUY TICKETS. It's wayyy more emotional live.

[broadwaylvr03]

@coolness06 actually I was suppose to see the one in LA but my lame family haha wouldn't go, so i hope some how i can see it.

[Sophieste163]

when aaron sang "but you've always known who i am" at 4:07, i burst into tears. his voice broke and it was just... this show is so incredible.

and "light" always makes me sob. i miss this show so much <3

[12thLeveIWizardKing]

I just saw this show tonight and I cannot stop watching videos now. This ending part is my favorite. I Am the One (Reprise) + Light makes me cry so much. :( I love this show! :)

[cade901]

@12thLeveIWizardKing did you see it in providence,i just saw it yesterday in providence...isn't it amazing,i'am still shaking from the show...so moving..love it!!!

[SilverRvn]

I've never even seen the show or heard really any of the other songs but I got chills and started to cry listening to I Am the One (Reprise).

[heartlandcutie13]

Listening to Alice at her peak is great. I just saw the show on Sunday and it's obvious she has suffered some SERIOUS vocal damage. Sooo sad. :(

But I loooove I Am the One Reprise. :)

[Chachabugergurl]

So i'm not dissing this guy or anything.. i love this show no matter what. but i think personally that J. Robert Specer's version was a LOT more powerful..but Aaron's voice crack automatically gets me teary eyed..like a switch

[arilalala58]

i lovee how no one applauds at the end of this song, everyone is just like in shock

[ringleret]

@arilalala58 honestly, pretty much the whole second act goes with out applause. It adds to the intensity and emotion. This was off-broadway and some changes have been made as well as more emotion from the actors. Gabe literally grabs and holds dan gets me every time.

[psumanu]

greatest musical ever? i think yes.

[Goobastank23]

Not going to lie. I Am the One Reprise brings tears to my eyes.

[apeironcalamity]

Just saw the tour a few weeks ago, and it was a lot more powerful there (not that this doesn't give me the goosebumps still). The way Gabe wrapped his arms completely around Dan like he could not escape. Also, there was just more strength put into the singing (not the right word, but I don't know...). Maybe they dialed it up after the off-broadway run?

[sephiroth87932]

Still this scene made me cry. The father coming to terms with his son's death is just heart wrenching. T_T  I love this

[WickedBabii]

everything about this show is perfect!

its so powerful and moving... i love the reprise of I am the one and Brian and Aaron are amazing together!

[SKW3threat]

Is this the workshop? I was just wondering what this is because this show's lyrics are different from those on the actual CD. I've never seen the actual show, I've only listened to the soundtrack so I don't know...

[coots89]

@SKW3threat Don't know if anyone's responded to this yet, but this is the off-broadway version of the show I believe. There were a few song replacements and lyric changes (all for the better, actually) before it made it to broadway and they froze it.

[musicaljones11]

@SKW3threat this is defiantly not the broadway. this is one of the many of versions of the show before it hit broadway. Im not sure about the theatre though. its either Second Stag( off broadway ) or arena Stage

[JGask72]

Wont lie, I do prefer Bobby's Dan better. However, Brian is still fabulous. He has *so* many great emotions going on in this part. Plus this video definitely just made me cry in Starbucks. I feel awesome.

[soubrette87]

Always wanted to see that. :'(

Phenomenal

[2010musiclife]

I Am The One (reprise) gives me goosebumps ALL THE TIME!! LOVE it!

[listen1to2the3music]

I couldn't help but cry at this part....

[Rinny92DANCE]

just saw asa somers as dan!! he was amazing :)

[Ruthie325]

Twist/Surprise ending.

That's what makes you fall in love with story.
