  • I want this video on my WX290 unit.

  • Can someone tell me why they cut this and why Anthony was not in the OBC? It makes me so sad after seeing this....*sobs with loss*

  • Obviously he didn't play the role on Broadway. If he did, the theatre would eventually get ruined because the seats would get really wet after each of his songs and it would do serious damage

  • When someone asks me what an amazing tenor sounds like, I always say Anthony Rapp.

  • Anthonys high note at 2:36 is wow....wasn't expecting that!

  • ahh mark from Rent eeeeek

  • where can i download this song?? i can't find it on itunes :(

  • OH MY GOD who's that guy who hit the D at 3:38?? waay too impressive man. wow.

  • -faints- D:

  • 3:34 and on..oh my

  • Funny, Anthony Rapp was actually the director of the Off-Broadway production.

    I think I see why they cut it. It had plot relevance but it sounds like a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, like a random Rock song.

    And no it does not stop it from being a great electric song.

  • Wow this song is creepy. :-\

    I'm a little annoyed at myself that I listened to this considering how late it is. (lol)

  • I can see this being in the broadway production of Next to Normal!!! Love this song <3

  • dear anthony,

    please turn striaght and marry me

  • @andk3llysaid He's bi so you may have a chance

  • @WWEQAF yeah, he says that but if you ever read his book it's kind of easy to tell he isn't that attracted to girls. I think he just came out as bisexual because he thought his mom would accept that more.

  • @andk3llysaid Actually, hes bi so we still have a chance :)

  • Amy Spanger as Diana = Worst Idea Ever

  • i know thats Amy Spanger as Diana..but who is singing for Natalie??

  • @5934931 Im guessing thats Annaleigh Ashford.

  • @5934931 Annaleigh Ashford

  • So he was in the orginal cast??

  • @thatseelyah No. He was a part of the second workshop .

  • i like the cast they had for Broadway a lot better

  • I love this song, it was so fantastic. completely understandable, why they cut it of course. But it would be amazing to have a recording of all the cut songs

    (this, Growing Up Unstable, the early version of Perfect For You, and More and More and More (aka costco)). They really pulled the Dr. Madden's role back, made his character a lot smaller than it used to be.

  • @philliesphan804 yes! i agree, they really should record those songs...and i noticed that Another day is different, well the ending, in one of the productions. i think it was the off-Broadway one.

    and does the Dr. sing any parts in the last song of the show in the CD?? or is it just the off-Bway he does?

  • @5934931 Yeah, he definitely does in the show on broadway now, so I'm assuming that he is in the cd recording. He doesnt have a solo part in it, or anything, but he's definitely on stage for the harmonies at the end.

  • Dear Louis Hobson,

    SING THIS SONG FOR ME RIGHT NOW!

    Sincerely,

    Me

    But no, I love Anthony's Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine actually. But I'll always be a Louis fan, Yeah.

  • @SleepyheadProduction look up louis hobson joe's pub 8/8 theres an excerpt of this song. I konow this reply is late but =D

  • Dear Anthony-

    Please make a new album and record this.

    Love

    Me

  • UGH! this was the BEST song of show! why why did they take it out :'[

  • i really want anthony to record this. i love this song and i love him singing it!

  • the falsetto (is that the word? idk) sounded kind of weird on him. But of course it was awsome

  • Um...he's really nice. Ive met him several times. He didn't come off rude at all.

  • hes been really nice everytime ive seen him

    and he almost always does autographs

    which is really nice.

  • ugh

    i wish he did it!!!

  • Who was he?

  • the doctor

  • The doctor had a major song like this? Cool. I mean, I know he has "Make Your Mind" which works better in the finished project... but this adds a bit more to the "scary rockstar" bit of him

  • Yeah, but the song is cut now, and it was a good cut in my oppinion. They replaced it with Wish I Were Here. This song just doesn't fit with the feel of the other songs. It's amazing on it's own, but it just doesn't mesh with the rest of the shows style of music... you know what I mean?

  • Oh I totally agree with you. It doesn't belong in the show the way Wish I Were Here does. I was just saying that I like this song

  • @kittypurrrr i thought they replaced growing up unstable with wish I was here?

  • no. Growing up unstable was replaced by... um... Everything else.

  • no everything else was replaced for perfect, it is not in the workshops but it is in the seattle or preview one, it is on youtube

  • @broadwaybabi91 No, actually "Wish I were here" replaced "Feeling Electric" and "Unstable". 

  • @broadwaybabi91 Growing Up Unstable wasn't replace by anything. Everything Else was replaced by perfect. The little part sung by Natalie at the end of Wish I were here is what replaced it.

  • Hm... I don't know. But The lines they had in the middle of Feeling Electric are the same ones that exist in the middle of Wish I where here. And they even share some lyrics. "Plug me in and turn me on flip the switch I'm good as gone" it's in both.

  • anthony helped work on it up to the bdwy version

  • is he singing to/about Annaleighs character?

  • i got swine flu : ( ! it sucks but i get all day to day dream of meeting anthony! haha scew being fsmous meeting anthony rapp is the american dream in my book. im not sure if its there anymore but for all you rent heads the mark scarf is at areopostale!!!

  • kids I've met him, worked with him on songs and hes gay. talented, darling, brilliant and gay.

  • jealous i wish i could mob anthony rapp...

  • WHOAAA

  • ANTHONY WAS IN N2N????? I did not know this!!! I wish I'd seen him in it!

  • It wasn't N2N yet. It was back during the development process when it was still Feeling Electric.

  • i love this song.

  • It's kind of too bad this song was cut from the show. Though I get why. It doesn't exactly fit with the rest of the show.

  • Oh man. I started fanning myself while watching this.

    COME BACK TO N2N ANTHONY! Or, at least do a recording of this song...wow.

    I was certainly 'feeling electric' through all of this :P

    Love the way he says 'How you feeling, Diana?' at the end, so sexy ;)

    Love Anthony, and this musical! :D

  • Cuz im sure all of you are always in super bubbly moods after an exhausting day at work. He's a nice guy in general, so if he might occasionally slip,cut the guy some slack!

  • Anthony Rapp is REALLY nice ! I met him three times, and I don't understand how you can say he's rude. The last time I saw him, it was BEFORE a show, so there were not a lot of people.. so I got a picture with him ! :) And he's really sweet. Anyways, it's so generous of him to stop at the stagedoor after every single performance ! HE IS nice, and I love him. :)

  • Hes very sweet. He can come off as shy, but he just wants to go home and there are a bizillion people screaming in his face and asking him to sign 40 zillion things. If you want to tell him something try to be one of the first people he talks to.

  • it's not that he's not nice to fans when he stagedoors, he's just very quiet. like kassiehp0593 said, you can tell he's exhausted after the shows. can you imagine what the crowd would be like if he let one person take a photo with him? if one person can, then he'd have to let everyone, and that would just take forever. :/ I've met him twice, and he's always been really nice, just really super quiet.

  • I'd love to meet Anthony but I've never heard that he was rude... but what do I know? But Annaleigh is SUPER NICE! I met her in NYC and not only is she an incredible performer but she is really sweet to fans....she's going to go really far on a Broadway spectrum.

  • I met him after I saw Rent in Philly, and he's not the nicest person at the stage door. Some of the actors were really nice, like the person who played Maureen. She took pics with everyone and even recorded us Mooing on her phone. Anthony wouldn't even stop to take pictures.

  • Are you talking about Nicolette Hart ? She's so sweet. I met her in LB and she told me i had amazing braces (cause they were pink, and shaped like stars) Anthony is like Laura Bell Bundy. Not too nice/

  • Alex Lacamoire on piano!

  • i'd hate to break it. but anthony isnt very nice at all.

  • Elaborate, please.

  • Hes very rude to his fans.

  • He's not really rude, you can just tell he's really exhausted when he stagedoors. He's perfectly happy to sign things. Hell, at least he comes out at all, unlike Adam Pascal.

  • really? ive only heard great things about him

  • I miss this song. :( Next to Normal is nowhere as great as Feeling Electric was.

  • I would have loved to see this. I adore Next to Normal, think Amy Spanger's fantastic, and am obsessed with Anthony Rapp.

  • met him in boston....hugged him

  • aww he messedd upp

    lmaoo he's so hot

  • Anothny Rapp was in some workshop for this, as the Doctors.. I wish he was now cuz I love him!!!

  • Has his video of "If You Leave" been removed?? If not, can someone reply with the link for it, please??

  • OK I finally found it on the side bar, sorry...

  • i actually cannot believe they cut this song from the show. stupid.

  • Well, damn. This was hot.

  • Anthony!  Touch me! Turn me on! ^^

  • amy spanger's voice mixed with annaleigh ashford's voice was really weird... i didn't really like it. but anthony is phenominal as usual...

  • OMFG I LOVE ANTHONY SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

    Adore that high note...and the entire song...I just want to hug him lol

  • I cannot stop watching this video. I WISH I could get a CD of this workshop when Anthony was in it....

  • lawntifuh, he is not just good at Rent have you been living under a rock for the past couple of years???

  • lucky beoch!!! lmfaoo jkjkjk lol ur soo freekin lucky one time i was on a train back to the city from d.c (where i was seeing rent w/anthony nd adam) and the seat infront of me was a guy with anthonys hair, glasses, and he looked soo much like him! and i spent the ENTIRE freekin trip contomplating weather it WAS him or not (it could've been!! but no... all that time arguing w/myself over it being him or not lol (but on the bright side the guy was pretty cute anyhow.nt nearly as hot as anthony bt

  • Comment removed

  • 1:42 + 2:36

    <3

    I have watched this vid so many times it's ridiculous! I can't get enough. Haha I love how into it Anthony is. He is awesomeness incarnate. =D

    Also, what MeganDepp43 said. ;D

  • That is one of the coolest things I've ever heard!!! You are so lucky! That is awesome. =D

    oh and this vid is amazing.

  • Anthony is to amazing for words. For some reason, this song reminds me of the dentist song from Little Shop Of Horrors. I don't understand why :P

  • Anthony is a sexy beast!!!

  • i really love this song, they shouldn't have cut it :(

  • omg i didnt know anthony could sing that high lol

  • I'm so sad they cut this song...I loved it since I saw this video in '06.

  • oh my God. this became Next to Normal? lol that's so cool.

  • Anthony is so fantastic! <33333

  • <333 anthony!!!

  • Go see the show on Broadway! mIt's incredible! Yayayayayayayyyy!

  • ANNALEIGH!! :) she was hilarious as Natalie!!! anyone have more videos from this?????

  • I'm feeling love...

  • Comment removed

  • This is kind of bittersweet, but this is transferring to Broadway this month. Unfortunately this number (which stayed with it even after Anthony left the project) was cut a while back. Odd considering it was the original title of the entire musical. But it stars Alice Ripley and looks fantastic.

  • Anthony. Is. God.

  • dawn!! i luv anthony sooooo much... and i got 2 touch him!!!! :)

  • bitch...

    lol i saw, i saw

  • haha

  • Annaleigh and Anthony<3

  • oh my godddd this is amazing

  • I came.

  • I think I temporarily stopped breathing while watching this.

    I am so in love with Anthony...

    I want more!

  • Rappmazing.

  • amazing amazing amazing. every guy should go gay for anthony rapp. :)<33

  • HEE. He'd certainly enjoy that I bet :D ;)

  • OH MY F'n GOSH! i am crying of HAPPINESS!! Anthony is soooo hot and he has such an amazing voice. this certainly made my day <3

  • If Anthony would just get his butt back IN this show (well, Next to Normal which is the modified Feeling Electric), as opposed to just assistant directing it, THAT would be amazing <3 Don't get me wrong, Asa was really good in the role, but just... NOTHING beats Anthony doing this song. He's so FIERCE!! It's the hand motions... and the wailing but extremely sexy voice... and the over all fact that he's friggin awesome :P

  • Do you have any other videos from this?!?!?!

  • i would marry this man in a heartbeat...

  • haha. so would i!!! <3

  • Too bad he's gay.

    truly, not being mean or anything, honest

  • I understand you.

    "Dear Santa,

    I want a penis for xmas this year."

  • Oh so would I. LOL.

  • has anyone read his book? I could barely tare my eyes away from it until I finished it

  • LOVED IT!!!! It was SO emotional and powerful!

  • It was AMAZING!!! I loved it!

  • So if it goes to broadway Anthony's not going to be in the cast? That would suck so hardcore! His voice is so perfect for this!!!

  • This movie is just so adorable and amazing and awesome. <3 Anthony :-)

  • thank you! i love her.

    i also love anthony rapp. he's stunning.

    and he;s coming back to rent with adam pascal for a tour next year!!

    but it's in america. I AM GUTTED.

  • he's already back... and it's closing in September!!!! ugh!!! too many people would rather watch the movie (although awesome) than see the amazingness that is the stage version.

  • sigh....anthony is gorgeous

  • Anthony. Is. Beautiful. Incredible.

  • omg..dude..like 2 or 3 years ago i was staying at my grandma's house and we signed up to help set up for this..but it was just the cunstruction of it..i met the whole cast and stuff..it was in seattle..they all have amazing voices..ive always wanted to see the actuall version of it..

  • ah thats awesome! I love Annaleigh!

  • is annaleigh the far left or second left?

  • shes the one in the green jacket. :D

  • Annaleigh is the one in the purple shirt and jacket. Next to the one in the lady in the white shirt! GO ANNALEIGH!

  • is that alex lacamoire playing piano? sure looks like him, and he pwns

  • ANTHONY.

    YAY.

    This is made of win.

    You win at life for uploading this, totally.

  • YAY! Annaleigh! MAD PROPS! - &heart; -

  • AAAAGH I met him when I went to see Next to Normal last weekend. It all makes sense now...hmmm

  • now this is amazing

  • Can I just say: I am OBSESSED with the newest version of Feeling Electric, aka Next to Normal, currently playing at the 2nd Stage Theater off Broadway. The new cast is SO beyond brilliant it's not even funny. However, the ONE person who I still yearn for to be back in the show is Anthony. Asa Somers does a fantastic job as Dr. Madden, but NO ONE can beat Anthony. He's just fierce :) (that said, if you go see NtN you'll probably still see Anthony there because he is the assistant director now!:D)

  • I am in love with Anthony Rapp <3 he is amazing :D

  • Annaleigh !

  • when i realized how literal 'feeling electric' is as a title i got really freaked out haha. great show!

  • Does anyone know if there is a soundtrack out there somewhere that I can get?

  • there's an audio only bootleg of the production from the New York Musical Theatre Festival out there somewhere. (and i've heard there's also one from the original developmental production in seattle)

  • yeah, i have one from the 2nd preview on jan. 17 with the 2008 second stage cast.

  • Do you know where I can find it?

  • Nothing is set in stone about the proposed cast recording, but it is very likely.

  • YES.!

  • lol at Amy Spanger's movement at 2:06. :)

  • Anthony is so hot sexy sexy sexy sexy!!!!

  • i wanna learn the piano for this so bad.

  • that man is amazing.

  • sex sex sex!!!!!!!

  • Ahh, why do I live in Georgia? I miss all these things.

    Also, at 2:53...spirit fingers!

  • this is amazing. i actually have an audition for this show on monday so i'm pretty excited.

  • yes it is! i am so excited!

  • Doesnt this start in December?

    NYC Second Stage?

  • It's Anthony, can I say more?

    lol I really wish I could see him in this!

  • all i know about 'Next to Norma' is that it's a dark comedy. i CANT WAIT!!

  • Such a shame that Annaleigh will probably not be in the show because of Wicked.

  • amazing

  • Well that was bsically the most amazing thing ever. This just made me love Anthony 26674 times more. And yay Annaleigh's in it!

  • what is Next To Normal about?

  • omg anthony, you never cease to amaze me!!!!

    I must come see your new show!!!!!!

  • WOW that was so good. GO ANTHONY! i wish i could see this show.

  • omg i wanna see this!!

  • I want to see this play! GAH!

  • "Then let's go to work."

    Oh I love him so much...

  • can anyone make lyrics to this cuz sometimes i cant understand what they're saying cuz im slow. lol

  • i saw anthony adn adam 9/14/07...AMAZING!! I got anthony's autograph but adam didnt even come out =[ LOVE THIS SONG! =]

  • Oh wow. This is awesomeness. Incarnate. Mad Anthony Rapp love.  Also... Amy Spanger = love.

  • wow this song is great and anthony just like OWNS.

  • Omg, lol, the last like of Anthony's the spoken one: "So, how ya feelin' tonight?" was so sexy lmao. Thanks for poasting, you JUST MADE MY DAY!
