Once upon a December (Anastasia)

Yeah um

Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory.
Far away,
Long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings

Y’all notice that no one in the remembrance touches Anastasia? When she wraps around her father in a spin her hand is gliding right above his. Her parents never touch her and at one moment their hands go right through her. She is trying to search for the memory and it’s just out of reach and she is not able to find it just yet. Genius.

I like how she simply opens the music box, and Dimitri is like... "Whoa! How did you do

[joyajohnson]

nobody:
me, at 3:04 am in my dorm: FAAAAR AWAYYY, LOOONNGGGG AGOOO, GLOOOWING DIM AS—

[lillisrealm]

Dude my childhood crush on Dimitri was just shoved in my face like “TIME TO GO THROUGH THIS PHASE AGAIN” damn it Derek do you really have to look like that I’m mad, but also bless you and thank god your face was made

WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE A LIVE ACTION MOVIE I AM SO

[Lea-gbup]

I love the look on Dimitris (Dereks) face, like OMG what the hell is going on?!😂

[sweetgracie]

I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I listen to this song, I can picture the movie in my mind. I even remember the movements and the dancing she did before she bow down before the image of her father and the kiss on the forehead from him. This song just so great and love it so much.

Just, the choir's entry, and the ghosts are just...
_goosebumps_

[spiderpunk]

I love the blend of the background projections on the wall with the shadowed movement of the dancers. Really adds to the whole haunted dream aspect of it

[saryiiamyers]

I am soooo happy I got to see this with most of the original cast before they pulled it off Broadway

[LeeLee-pkss]

I wish we never truly found out what happened to Anastasia, and we could have gone on hoping that the myths were true. Reality is too horrible.

[lizzyrod]

I LOVE HOW SHE sings this song. It just gives me chills and makes me ball out in uncontrollable tears 😢! I can't wait for this Virus to be over, I will sell my shoes to fly out and see this play!

[naotmaa]

I was so lucky to see this before it closed, the whole cast was superb. I really wish it had been professionally filmed

[staticsnowfall]

i love how dmitri is standing there like 🧍🏻

[zeinasherif]

I swear we need an Anastasia Live Action..

[roseg]

How’d dmitri not know it was her when he gave her a random music box that “mIgHt hAvE bEeN aNaStASiA’s” and she automatically busts out perfectly flowing lyrics to it 😭😭😂

[brittanihenderson]

Everyone of this Broadway musical has an amazing singing voice

[Rahpelleh]

I had goosbumps and i cried at the same time...this performance feels like that i am the lost princess of russia that after so many years finds out who she really is

[cassievining]

I was lucky enough to see the touring production, and when the figures were projected dancing in the background it took my breath away. Absolutely haunting
