'Back to Before' from Ragtime, performed by Aaron Tveit.
This isn’t a great quality youtube rip, but it is another of my favourite Theatre Gender Swap songs.
Aaron just sings it so beautifully, and I love that he doesn’t change lyrics to suit the fact that he is a male singing a female song.
It’s just pure entertainment and emotion, and he manages to lose himself in the words, “I was your wife! It never occured to want more…”
#FAERIVIERA#HE DOESN'T CHANGE THE LYRICS!!!!#I KNEW HE WAS THAT COOL#I knew he only changed the genders in the songs on his album because that concert was SUPPOSED to be entirely autobiographical#like of COURSE he sang them from his own POV; that was the point. he was telling his life story with that setlist#(ironically that's why I sing We Are Never Getting Back Together with dude's prononuns now and it's all a little odd but okay)#BUT THIS GEM HERE#AHAHAAAA THIS BOY IS A TREASURE#petition for all other men to either step their coolness game up to Aaron Tveit's or just go away#nobody would hate straight white men if they were all like you#Aaron Tveit#Back to Before#Ragtime#and y'know Jas I'm so fucking sure that there's a doppel for this#I WAS YOUR WIFE#help me#hlep I'm drown#stupid beautiful woman
