MWBM/Touch Me/There Once Was a Pirate (Reprise)

[jUaOsHiKi]

Why. Isn't. This. In. The. Originial?!!

[greenboro7240]

I love this version! I wish they kept it! It might be as or maybe even more haunting than the scene they have now!

[darksideost]

that lighting at the end is kind of creepy, but it works.

[acklbonboncat]

I think they should have this sequence in the movie....this is would work so much better in film than on stage...

[acklbonboncat]

I think this scene could work with just TOWP

Anna (as Wendla is taken): There once was a maiden..

Thea (as Melchior escapes): The sea was so violent...

then they read letter and sing the "chorus" as they do in this video

Até onde a sociedade castra nossos instintos mais verdadeiros e caros para a existência humana?Somos realmente libertos?

[thishatandyou]

I did like the pirates in the workshop....

:D

[thatonekid1151]

Can someone please explain to me what's going on in this scene?

[krispykritterlover]

Phoebe. Was. Underused. This scene gives me such chills!

[thisis186]

I only just realised those were supposed to be dogs barking when he's running away, glad they cut that out, the rest however, they should have kept in, tis pretty amazing :-)

[louisawhat]

I miss this so much.

[TRASHYgah]

I love this, especially there once was a pirate and touch me reprise. I get why they cut it though, it looked a little messy.

[Nicoleshaan]

how long was SA off broadway?

[nikkil8812]

"Touch me, all silent, tell me please all is forgiven" ...chills every time...so hauntingly beautiful!

[potter928]

I really love Phoebe's voice here! Especially in the Touch Me part, gives me the chills!

[sandee12341]

i love the touch me reprise first time i heard it it really touched me soul i kinda got a lil teary eyed cuz that song truly is wat a teen feels never knowing for sure if there dissions and actions r rite i love how she sings TELL ME PLZ ALL IS FORGIVEN=( this is the saddest scene ever and i really wish they had kept the touch me reprise wen i saw the tour cast i was really sad that they didnt sing it it really shuld have been kept

[kylerp9]

Who is singing the Touch me solo?

is it remy?

[broadwaymike92]

No it's Pheobe

[42StudentsRemaining]

To respond to earlier comments. I think they could have kept MWBM/Touch Me and then even kept There Once Was A Pirate the full version in the place of the reprise cause personally I think it fits leading into Those You've Known. Plus it can be given to some of the characters who haven't had much songs like Anna, Thea, Otto George ect. Its the story of them technically Wendla and Melchior don't have to sing it. Plus the one thing I hated about SA is that I felt Anna and thea got jibbed in the...

[42StudentsRemaining]

...(continued) song department and the fact Anna sings this made her role like increase ten fold. I haven't seen the show in a while so i can't remember how the scene flows without this but i think this version is more appealing to me.

[windowsintheskye]

What date was this?

I really miss this song.

[Marold101]

There's way too much running around, and it sounds like there's a dog barking...

But I love the song, so beautiful !

[louisawhat]

omgg I love this so much.

[thefreakandgeek]

i wish MWBM/TM wasn't taken out but i prefer the reformatory and abortion scene in the broadway one. i feel bad for pheobe though, since they took that song out, it down sized her part. and that must really suck, to have a solo song and then have it taken away.

[Marold101]

Yeah, now everyone kind of considers her part as the smallest.

[alycemhm]

I love her line though, "When I have children, I will let them be free, and they will grow strong and tall".

[poisson9878]

set looks weird, is that a second level?

[embs1717]

No, I don't think there's a second level. The stage was a little different though since this is off b-way.

[poisson9878]

huh, that makes sense.  thanks

[jaspar38]

Why were they torturing Melchior?

[windowsintheskye]

It's part of the reformatory scene.

[Marold101]

Oooooh, amazing. But I think the staging works better without. But I still love it. I'm forever grateful to you for putting this on here.

[Jhg812]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! AAAAAAAAAAH!!

Damn, I wish they'd kept this in the Broadway version. It's a little too quick non-off-Broadway.

[Marold101]

But the staging works better without.

[njakillersfan94]

this is so amazing it gives me chills. and so sad when wendla gets taken away...

[nightingale4400]

Do you know how awesome you are for posting this?!

[Aubreykproflil1s]

OMG! Thank you!!! I found There Once was a Pirate by accident when I was down loading music and I LOVE it. I wish there was a way they could have kept both of the songs in...

[embs1717]

You're welcome!

Yeah, so do I!
