"Someday" from Hunchback is the show's finale?! Wonder how they will make that song a traditional, feel-good, uplifting finale, given how dramatic it is (especially in the context of the stage musical)...




As heard in the stage musical, sung by Esmeralda (Ciara Renée) and Phoebus (Andrew Samonsky):

I'm kind of imagining it and I can kinda see the vision Disney has. The first linked song is used for after the show and as people leave EPCOT and the second is used for the actual show?

I have never seen Hunchback before therefore this is my first time hearing "Someday".

That was quite moving. I don't know how it will be compared to We Go On but if done right, I could definitely see it as a great close for the show.

The first one was used during the film's credits, I think. The second one (and the one below, the finale) is how it is done in the US stagings of the musical.

Someday (Reprise) comes in at 1:14 and ends at around 2:59. I'm assuming that they had this choral version in mind for Harmonious' finale instead of the ballad version with Esmeralda and Phoebus.
