  • I just love candide cunagonde is so funny

  • Um, I'm all of sixteen years old and I find the Alternate Narrator extremely attractive.

  • When I thought I hated operas...

    

  • this is amazing :3

  • I wish they'd used the full version of Auto-da-fe.

  • Still unbelievers . . .Why?

    1 of 99.

  • Still unbelievers . . .Why?

  • Bahahah hilarious

  • I think is how Voltaire wanted people to see Candide as they read it. It fits the satirical nature perfectly. Well done.

  • Alternate Narrator...what an amzing role:-D

  • Is that Ray Wills as the Alternate Narrator?

  • Bellissimo.

  • Conductor participation.. I like it.

  • i found this when i typed in joanna gleason i have no idea how lol. But i love it and i have watched it 6 times already :)

  • You're an angel for uploading this! THANK YOU!

  • i want an alternate narrator shirt!

  • Very Clever! If Bernstein was still alive, i think\k he would have loved this!

  • I've seen reviewers who hated the whimsical way this is done. They liked a more "straight forward" Candide, but I LOVE this! It rings to me as "you're talented, I'm talented... let's have fun!"

  • @wannabe1491 I agree. I think it fits the satirist nature perfectly!

  • Alternate narrator...TEHEHEH! Also................Brilliant chorus!

  • wow tom collins hahah

  • I know! It made me happy to see him.

  • @Kroovy68 i think he was the best collins

  • The guy who says "and a queen" at around 3:08 sounds similar to kevin gray.

  • Paul Groves has great calves O.o

  • I haven't come across any comments about Paul Groves as Candide. I have a sneaking suspicion purists weren't pleased, but I sure was. He sang "It Must Be So" and "Candide's Lament" quite beautifully, rising above all the satire.

  • I have no complaint about any of the soloists - but Thomas Allen is stealing the show.

  • 4:28 i love the cheerleaders :DD

  • i LOVE the conductor! she's amazing :]...also she sings along :]

  • Hahahahaha. Alternate Narrator. :)

    I think everyone in this show is perfectly casted.

  • I thought Kristen's character had dialoge in this scene! I just have the soundtrack so I don't really know but when their flogging Candide I thought she said "How dare they mutilate so God-like a body?!" I someone knows please tell me

  • @obsidianpictures in the original version, yes she does have lines. however, this 'concert version' is a bit different.

  • @acentralperspective

    Ah, thank you!

  • I also watched this for Kristin, but it is surprisingly.. AMAZING!

    I love that the conductor was singing along too.

  • 1:32

    MAN THE HARPOONS

  • Donald Trump was the best part. lmao

  • i'm watching it for Kristin and Patti :D

  • Poor Candide...

  • hah ai only watch the parts where Kristin is in it =] she makes the whole show

  • Guilty.... ;P

  • same here, :)

  • i watch this for kristin but it is better to watch it all because it makes more sense

  • I started watching it just for Kristin but then I found that it's completely brilliant. :)

  • Me too... Exactly that!

  • Me too!

  • I think Kristin is fantastic, but how can you ignore all the other fantastic performances?

  • I love that the conductor sings along, it just shows the infectious nature of Bernstein's beautiful music

  • @Javaisreve A lot of conductors do that so the singers/musicians know where they are in the music

  • i love this!
