I agree fully with John Hill being the best Jason. No competition.
As far as Peter goes, I love both. I think that Michael Arden is a truly incredible actor and I truly love Matt Doyle and his voice and passion as well. I would have loved to see Matt perform it on a stage, not just a CD. I think that one of the differences between them is that Michael Arden is with John Hill and they make an amazing pair. Matt Doyle is also brilliant. I do love these lyrics.
@thelivesofme1 That's really subjective. Personally, I prefer Matt Doyle to Michael Arden. I do agree about the lyrics, though. I'm all about this scene being as vulnerable and broken as possible.
I am in love with this song..and with Michael Arden...and John Hill's apperreance on TBD was amazing: ' ...take your shirt off...!' :D they are perfect!!!!
not trying to just be different, but I'm actually a fan of one part of each version. Hill/Arden much > Doyle/Snyder, but I think the new lyrics are better written as a song, however beautiful and heartfelt these are
Well I definitely like the new lyrics better, I think they flow much better. I love Matt Doyle way too much to make any sort of unbiased judegment but Michael Arden is great.
I actually prefer Doyle's singing voice to Arden's (for Bare, anyhow ), but Arden's acting style is amazing. Would have loved to see Doyle play Peter though.
OMG, they switched into character so easily. I do like the LA lyrics better, but these two are sooooooooooo amazing. John should play Roger in RENT sometime
The lyrics are different from the CD because they rewrote a lot of it for the CD. Michael Arden is the BEST Peter. I cannot believe they didn't have him on the CD. Rude.
I have so much love for this video!! Michael Arden and John Hill are so amazing!! :) I love how John asks if they're going to be singing to each other... So cute!
well, it's both since they're not a couple. it's acting pretending you're in love with anyone, regardless the gender and your preference. i never understand when people ask that, lol.
yes they were together when they did Bare. oh they are so great together! but i couldn't help but laugh at the end cuz its such a...idk...weird kiss. in the musical it fits in fine, cuz its so intimate. but it seemed like an obligatory and yes, friendship kiss between two guys. lol.
haha oops my bad! i thought that the bshern was asking if they performed together in Bare. I said yes, but i didn't mean that they were dating during the show. lol....sorry for the misunderstanding! i guess then, yes, it was a friendship kiss. i hear john hill is straight...
This is beautiful, as is the musical! Michael does belt a little at the "each of us standing bare" line, but otherwise its' perfect. The little kiss at the end is just pure fluffiness!! Go Michael and John!
I actually that while the new version of this song is prettier, the lyrics in the beginning of this version tie in closer to the play's meaning.
Like, Jason's line is like, "The music is gone now, the silence is strange..."
It ties into Peter's line in "Role of a Lifetime" of "What happens when the music stops?/In the silence will he stay, one day he'll realize that these feelings aren't going away."
Oh wow! Deep thoughts! I've never thought of that fact, which is odd seeing as I listen to the CD like, every day! Hmmn, that just makes Bare all the deeper and the lyrics all that bit cleverer! Thanks for that insight! :D
As much as I bow down before Michael Arden (and John ain't so bad either...), I like the "new" arrangement of this song on the full CD much better. But sooo glad I could at least watch these two perform it.
Really? So there is another cd with the recordings of the show with the original cast? Do you know where I can find it? I've been looking everywhere... I just love this music... *sigh*
OH MY GOD!!! I Am bawling!!!! And did he HAVE to kiss him at the end!! I am crying even more now!! AHHHH!! What a wonderful song and beautiful performers. I wish I could have seen it when it was in Los Angeles!
unfortunately, there isn't any official recording of this song. there was a sampler CD that is kinda floating around, but it does not contain this song.
... wow... bare has come a long way and changed a little from when i first expierienced it back in 2000... i still listen to the cds. but this song remains to be one of my faovorite love songs from a pop opera or musical... and i've heard a ton... anyway, thanks for posting.
I am proud to say i will be part of the first cast of the show since it left off-broadway, as Jason. the production is taking place in Edison, NJ starting the last weekend of August through September. Definitely something not to miss !!
OMG!!! When was this?!? THis is the most amazing thing ever and I cannot get enough of these two... they really need to bring back this show. it is fucking amazing... i i had a million dollars i would SO invest in this musical!!!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for posting this. I LOVE Bare! John and Michael love! On a side note, does anuone know what happened to safetyinfalsehood and all the Bare videos they had?
Safety took her account down because people were being too greedy. Taking an inch and making it a mile. She would send them the audio files from Bare and the video files and they would never thank her for her work. Some even demanded that she send them the sheet music.
oh really? That's so sad. She had great videos that no one else did. And personally, I never asked anything of her, I was content just to watch the videos and marvel in the greatness that is Bare. And now, they're gone! But I guess I can understand why she did it, I'd be annoyed too. Thanks for letting me know.
So the rights to bare are going to be available soon from thetrical rights worldwide for production by anyone who wants to put on the show.... about damn time. lol.
no i am not shitting you. lol. damon told me. well an email from someone claiming to be damon told me so i contacted the company and they confirmed that they would be available soon. the perusal pack and some of the book and score are available. the whole thing in a few months.
not a bother at all. and i am not sure of anyone actually putting on the musical tho i am trying to convince my HS drama teacher to let us do it. lol. just keep a weather eye out. the rights arent available till late summer.
hahaha yeah same here. I'm actually doing two musical numbers from this musical on showcase for my school, May 30th and 31st. I'm trying to convince my drama teacher to do this next year for Spring. I've showed her some of the music, and she seems to like it.
I agree fully with John Hill being the best Jason. No competition.
