all the comments talking about Derek and yes he’s hot as hell but HELLO HOW COULD WE NOT NOTICE CHRISTY?? She’s so smol and adorable and she’s amazing at transitioning from belt to mix to head so seamlessly! They have the best stage chemistry I have ever seen in my life! They both deserve so much!!!!

I once saw him play Link in a regional production of Hairspray. It was six years ago here in Long Beach. Just down the hill from my house. It also starred Gwen Stewart (the original Seasons of Love soloist in Rent) as Maybelle, Todrick Hall as Seaweed and Barry Pearl from the movie and TV versions of Grease as Wilbur Turnblad.

I agree with every fibre of my being. They’re literally the only stage Christine/Phantom I can listen to. None compare. 😅
Even though this song was only an end credits for the movie, this should've been in the show, having them sing it for the finale or something. I get so many feels when they sing "now I know my dreams will live on, I've been waiting so long, nothing's going to tear us apart"

Oh my goodness I have loved this song so much for so long but i've never liked the voices on the recording from the movie all that much. I have said "You know what this world needs? a cover of this song with two people with strong lovely voices." AND IT HAS BEEN DELIVERED AND IT IS BETTER THAN I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE IMAGINED. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS, CHILDREN
I still remember when the casting was first released and afterwards when I first saw a vid of these 2 in their roles... it was legitimately like watching Anya and Dimitri irl and I teared up so bad😭 I’m heartbroken that I can’t watch them for this musical anymore cause as much as Zach is amazing Derek was literally Dimitri come alive for me...
OH MY G-- IT'S HER! I LIKED HER VERSION OF JOURNEY TO THE PAST SO BAD!
I still can’t get over the fact that this song didn’t make it to the musical. They say it doesn’t fit but I wish they did something to make it work.

Their voices are perfect for each other. Cody Simpson and Zach Adkins did a perfectly good job but Tony nominee Derek Klena is inevitably going to be on another level.
10% of the comments are about how pretty the song is 90% are of how hot Derek is😂😂 But seriously hes a god😍
This is one iconic song from the animated film. I wonder why they didn't add this on the storyline, or at least for the encore.

We were strangers Starting out on a journey Never dreaming what we'd have to go through Now here we are And I'm suddenly standing At the beginning with you No one told me I was going to find you Unexpected, what you did to my heart When I lost hope You were there to remind me This is the start [Chorus:] And life is a road that I wanna keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever Wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you We were strangers On a crazy adventure Never dreaming how our dreams would come true Now here we stand, unafraid of the future At the beginning with you [Chorus:] And life is a road that I wanna keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever Wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you Knew there were somebody somewhere Like me alone in the dark Now I know my dream will live on I've been waiting so long Nothing's gonna tear us apart [Chorus:] And life is a road that I wanna keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing Life is a road, now and forever Wonderful journey I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you Life is a road and I wanna keep going Love is a river I want to keep going on Starting out on a journey Life is a road and I wanna keep going Love is a river I want to keep flowing In the end I want to be standing at the beginning With you

when derek offered a hug immediately after their perf, i melted **o**

If I could like this 10000000000 times I would omg so perfect. And Derek is such a cutie I can't.
The way they look at each other is incredible!! It shows how much they care for each other and you can see it in their eyes when they watch the other sing! I love it so much!
I’m glad Derek is pursuing other things but at the same time I’m really going to miss him in the cast. He is basically the perfect casting.
