So while putting this full cut (which I thought would be cool to add to this channel) of the show together, I took the opportunity to work a little bit more on some edits (nothing big, I only added a few tiny clips which I only found (or thought of) after finishing the original project and which, being the perfectionist I am, kinda left me like "Damn why am I seeing this now and not when I was working on the edit" 😅). But now it should truly be complete, hooray! Also, I sadly can‘t provide subtitles for this because it would take me an eternity to type all of that in, so if anyone needs / wants subtitles: Check out the playlist(s) on my channel with all of the songs uploaded in seperate videos. (And please just ignore that ugly watermark, I know it sucks but oh well)

I hope your pillow is always cold and every traffic light is always green

It's a shame what happened to this show. It deserved to be far more popular than it was once Josh Groban left. It was one of the best shows I ever saw on Broadway

Whats the hardest show to bootleg.... anyhow where the actors are LIT3RALLY EVERYWHERE IN THE THEATRE

okay I don't know if this is obvious or not, but I love at 1:00:18 when Natasha looks into the mirror to see her future and Pierre is right behind her. Its a little cute moment and I don't know if its intentional.

The woman in blue at 1:11:19 looked so shocked when she said Anatole instead of Andre

So, I'm reading War & Peace, and I read Natasha as a normal teenager with all of the stereotypical drama of a Teenage Crush on Andrei (and later Anatole) and assorted normal teenage girl behavior. Hearing the Natasha performer sing of her love for Andrei in this production, she makes be a true-believer of her deep and devoted love and longing for Andrei. She is SOOOOOO talented.

I can’t imagine how much work this would have taken. From someone who’s just rediscovering their love for this show, thank you so much for doing this!

I ADORED this show. I'm so glad I got to see it, sat at a table in the front. So fun, got an egg to shake and a cast member gave me something as well. Such a shame it closed so early.

I really like how the lines from the novel were incorporated into the lyrics.

words cant describe how much i wanna see this live

I'm actually going to cry.. Grace McClean is one of the best actresses I have ever seen.

the day this gets a revival will be the best day of my life

Things these delightful Russian socialites are very concerned with: - shoulders - neck - bare arms

Everyday, I still think about how I'll never get to see this live.

1:30:59 the part in balaga where anatole and dolokhov make out

the amount of love and care that went into this cut is astounding, and the curtain call edits and credits at the end just underscore how much of a labor of love it was. thank you for this great work of theatre preservation

Denee and Josh bowing to each other as well as the audience at the end :''')

I cant say how happy and grateful I am for this ! Im epileptic, have been since I was little, and could never go to the shop with the strobe lights. Getting to watch it on my phone I could just turn away / put my phone face down while still getting to enjoy the show, so thank you ! This is one of my favorite musicals and im so happy I can watch it now :) !!!

I love you. This is fantastic and wonderful and perfect and such a labor of love and every second of this is a gift that I thank you for.

Pierre Bezhukov has been my ideal role-model for decades. By the time I heard of this show, a medical emergency put seeing it on hold. Unfortunately, by the time things stabilized for me, tickets had become scarce, and made traveling to NYC just for this, iffy. Then came the sad situation which resulted in the closing. Perhaps the only regret in my life? 🤷‍♂️ All I know is, I’m looking forward to being at Opening Night for the West Coast premiere of Shotgun Players production of NATASHA, PIERRE, & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812, in Berkeley CA, November 2022!

so good to see a full cut. A very excitingly staged production. And the night I saw it, I made my Broadway debut as the suitor Mary chooses to show her father. Alas...no Tony nomination for me....

U are the best person to ever walk the face of the planet, I love this show so much and now i can see it in the best quality possible. U don’t know how much I thank you for this

I was so obssessed with the cast recording of this musical last year, and I was so sad to never find a nice recording, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

I just discovered this musical today and listened to the whole cast recording… never knew about it and I love it! It’s such a niche concept and Josh Groban is perfect for it!!!

My first visit to NYC. My first Broadway show to see. Still my favorite all these years later. I can’t tell you how incredible it was to be in the audience. They way they made us feel a part of the actual show. This still takes my breath away. I sure wish it would return.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Not just for compiling and releasing a full cut, but for doing edits with so many different slime tutorials and everything!!! You have no idea how much this means to me, and I don't know if words can even describe how happy this entire thing makes me. YOU'RE A LEGEND!!!!

im making a small illustrated book for my midterm exam this year about natasha pierre and i dont know where i would be without this channel! it helped me so much to rewatch it over and over again helping me visualise the songs! thank you so much!

you’re an angel for putting this together, thank you!

I just discovered this musical on a random spotify playlist and eventually ended up here. What a show! Can't believe I haven't heard of it before. Kinda reminds me of The Wild Party

Beautiful... after 6 years of being a fan, still can't get over it 💗

this is the coolest thing anyone's ever done thank you for your service

I have loved the soundtrack for this show and was so disappointed when it left Broadway, so thank you so much for putting together such an amazing edit! This may be the closest we get to an actual video release and it is just amazing!!

I didn’t realise they did all the going into the audience and stuff. That’s so cool and thanks for doing this 🥰

I- the way the person who coughed at the beginning of Dust And Ashes was on time with the music

Am I the only one who can see Jinx Monsoon absolutely nailing the role of Marya should this show ever see a revival??

i cannot imagine a more difficult homemade proshot to put together. you are truly an angel on earth and i hope you can experience the kind of euphoria pierre experiences upon seeing the comet

Distance and finances kept me from seeing this live so I’ve watched different slime tutorials over time. But this- just wow! Thank you on behalf of everyone who loves this show and people who will be able to discover this show through you! Your labor to preserve this gem is the Lord’s work. All the good things to you my friend!

I remember this being on Broadway for a certain time and I have always wanted to go see it and just experience it for myself. Thank you so much for putting together this video of this musical from all those different camera angles. I appreciate it so much!

I'm so glad KZfaq randomly recommended this video to me. Fantastic work putting it together! What an incredible and unique show. Thank you!

If someone adds subs to this it’ll literally make my year

there's a special place in Heaven for people like you...THANK YOU!

Denée Benton is FANTASTIC. I initially always gravitated towards the off-broadway cast recording because I felt really entranced by Phillipa Soo’s acting in the recording. I think many cast recordings can water down intense songs so that they are more palatable for albums. (Case in point- Eva Noblezada in the vast album for the revival of Miss Saigon vs the recording for Hadestown.) I am always for embracing those acting choices and letting the recording reflect the the actual show, but I understand that it’s often a production influence or actors choice. I think that’s the case with Denée Benton- her voice is gorgeous but between the two albums I always chose Phillipa’s for the acting. However, this bootleg is outstanding. She sounds amazing in the album but is truly so unfettered and blazing on stage. Love her in this role!!!

This show seems so fun to do I want to direct and/or be in it SO BAD you don’t understand 😭😭😭😭

I JUST discovered this show, omg it’s so good. I had the privilege of watching a showing done near me because my high schools theater teacher was part of the cast (she played Natasha’s god mother) much smaller cast but tbh I think it was amazing. So being able to watch the broadway version is really great too !!

Was using this musical as a reference to the one I'm writing about the life of Tchaikovsky and this video is a godsend for that.

Just wanted to say thank you again for all your hard work with these! You doing amazing work preserving this show

Your videos introduced me to Brittian Ashford, and I thank you because her voice is amazing.

Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 was a beloved musical that captured the hearts of audiences with its dazzling tale set in 19th century Russia. But what if this story was reimagined in a modern 21st century setting, with a twist of thrilling espionage and intrigue?In this retelling, Natasha is a successful entrepreneur and secret service agent, tasked with a dangerous mission that could change the course of history. She is a fierce, independent woman who is not afraid to take risks for the greater good. Natasha's fashion sense is edgy and bold, reflecting her fearless personality - she is often seen in grunge-inspired outfits that make a statement wherever she goes. On the other hand, Pierre is a respected journalist known for his investigative skills and sharp wit. He is always dressed in sleek workwear fashion, exuding an air of sophistication and intelligence. Pierre is drawn into Natasha's world when he uncovers a conspiracy that could threaten national security, and the two must work together to unravel the truth. As Natasha and Pierre navigate the dangerous waters of political intrigue, they find themselves caught in a web of lies and deception. Natasha is wrongly accused of a crime she did not commit, and Pierre is determined to clear her name. The main concourse of their mission is a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, as they race against time to uncover the truth before it's too late. The story unfolds with melodious dance sequences that serve as a backdrop to the intense drama unfolding onscreen. The choreography is dynamic and captivating, drawing the audience into the heart of the action. As Natasha and Pierre face obstacles and betrayals at every turn, their bond grows stronger, forging a deep connection that transcends their differences. But when a police informant leads them astray, Natasha finds herself wrongfully imprisoned, and Pierre must fight against all odds to free her. Along the way, they encounter a cast of eccentric characters, from a quirky photographer with a knack for uncovering secrets to a mysterious interior designer with a hidden agenda. As the stakes rise and the deadline looms, Natasha and Pierre must race against time to uncover the conspiracy that threatens to tear their world apart. The journey takes them on a whirlwind adventure through the bustling streets of the city, aboard a luxury cruise boat that glides across a tranquil lake at sunset. Amidst the chaos and danger, Natasha and Pierre find solace in each other's arms, their love blossoming amidst the chaos of their mission. The liquid of their passion flows freely, intertwined with the sensual energy that crackles between them. But as they delve deeper into the mystery at hand, they realize that their feelings for each other may be their ultimate weakness. In the end, Natasha and Pierre emerge victorious, their bond stronger than ever. The thrilling journey they embarked on has changed them forever, shaping their destinies in ways they never imagined. As they look towards the future, they know that they will always have each other, no matter what challenges lie ahead. The modern retelling of Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 is a riveting tale of love, betrayal, and redemption, set against the backdrop of a world on the brink of chaos. It is a story that captures the timeless essence of human resilience and the power of love to conquer all obstacles.

You are amazing. You are the sun to our earth, the beans to my rice, to icing to my cake! I love this show so much and now I can finally see it in the best quality possible! THANKS SO MUCH!

Thank you so much for putting this together. I only recently discovered this musical and had been dying to watch it, this is so wonderful

Thank you! Your edits were a great experience and I was hoping for a full version to be posted so I can show it to others.

Thank you♥♥

thinking about how much fun it would be to be in a production of this

I,I wanna be in the room where it happens the room where it happens the room where it happens.

I like that when Helene is tempting Natasha to go out, she's wearing green, like she's the snake tempting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. SPOILER: I also realized that this is the point at which I stopped reading War & Peace, because I was so upset with Andrey's decision. In the book it's made clear that Natasha was really too young and naive to realize that she wasn't in love with Anatole, it was just infatuation. And then he can't forgive her. Dude ruined a whole book for me.

if i could like this 1000 times i would, thank you so much for making this!!!

Seeing the actual acting makes me realize something I never pulled from the recording. Natasha wasn't JUST a wreckless 20-year-old. Even Marya D. undertood she felt restrained and wanted freedom, but it was risky to seek.

Beautiful

Thank you so much for this! I discovered this show recently and I’ve been in love ever since 😍 I’m hoping it eventually comes to London so I can see it😊 there’s been rumours for a while but nothings been confirmed 😭

Perfection. Thank you!

This is awesome thank you so much for uploading it. I only found this musical by accident on Spotify and it's so lucky to find it on KZfaq

I still miss this wonderful play.

Amazing
