[ Laughs ] To be back in this gorgeous place and to be here after so many years.

I was planning on coming back a lot more, and, then, you know, a lot of things happened since I was here last.

We've been through a pandemic.

We've been through all kinds of turmoil in the world.

And there's no place I would rather be than in this space with all of you to come back here to this glorious city.

So thank you so much.

You haven't changed a bit.

[ Cheers and applause continues ] I wrote a song, you know, while we were going through the pandemic.

And I wanted to write a song that, you know -- Actually, you know what?

Now that I think about it, I actually wrote it before the pandemic.

And it was one that has really rung true for me since then.

It's a song about gratitude.

It's a song about taking all the things that are in front of us when we have them and really, really taking them in and truly taking them in.

If there was one small silver lining to all of that tragedy, it was that we really appreciated the here and now.

I also wrote this song kind of about thinking about when I was younger.

I am a student of arts education.

I had a public-arts education growing up in Los Angeles.

And certainly in America, those programs -- our programs are getting cut at a very, very drastic rate.

And I always thank my folks for having a piano in the house.

It's a very privileged thing, that I had a musical instrument in the house.

So this one is for the here and now, and this one's for my folks.

This is called "Granted."

Oh, my goodness.

I am so excited to have just the most amazing musicianship onstage with me tonight.

This is just so, so incredible.

[ Applause ] And this gentleman here has been with me for my whole career.

We've been doing things like 5:00 a.m.

TV shows when I was 18 years old -- like, everything.

We've earned our grays together, truly.

I will say this song is a Céline Dion song, who is one of, like, my greatest heroes.

She's actually the reason why I'm even here, because I stood in.

It's a whole long story.

You can read it.

You can Google it.

My reverence and respect for Céline truly knows no bounds.

So, when you're gonna do a Céline song, you can't do it the way she did it.

She did it in English, and that's like, "That's it."

So we translated it into Spanish.

Spectacular!

Oh, my goodness.

[ Cheers and applause ] [ Laughs ] I met a few of you before the show.

Some of you have been to New York to see me on Broadway.

Which for those of you that have taken the trip, I really appreciate it.

But it's a great privilege to do theater.

It's the hardest I've ever worked in my life.

But when you have material that you connect with so deeply, doing 300-plus shows and two shows on Wednesdays and Saturdays, it's an absolute joy.

And you find things in the music the more that you sing it.

Especially when you sing from the work of Stephen Sondheim, who to me is one of the great composers that we have ever had in musical theater.

[ Applause ] So I'm gonna do a little medley of two of my favorite songs by Stephen Sondheim.

The first one is from "Into the Woods," and it is a song that certainly in my country's political climate, is a message that we could definitely sing over and over again.

And the second song is one that I did not sing in "Sweeney Todd."

It was sung by the character Tobias.

It is the only song in the show not about murdering and eating people.

So it's very sweet -- a very sweet song.

Hope you enjoy.

[ Cheers and applause ] Hello!

[ Applause continues ] Welcome!

[ Chuckles ] But we're gonna do one of our favorite songs.

This is a Joni Mitchell song, and we both I know really, really love Joni.

And this is a song that is about perspective.

And it's one of those songs that no matter when you sing it, where you sing it, you always -- it always touches a nerve.

So thank you for joining me tonight.

And there are so many incredible songs from the film-music world.

And we haven't quite figured out, like, all the songs we want to do.

There's so many great ones.

And I kind of put out a request on social media to kind of tell me, like, which ones you thought.

And oh, you've got lots of opinions on what should be done.

[ Laughter ] Please continue to send me your opinions.

This is a song that I just really, really like, and I wanted to do it for you tonight.

So, I did a song for the American Film Institute, the AFI, for Francis Ford Coppola.

He asked me to sing "The Godfather" theme for his inauguration of his Lifetime Achievement Award at the AFI, which was like -- I was very nervous, because, like, you know, when Francis Ford Coppola asks you to sing for something, you know that you better get it right.

So I learned it in Italian, and, then, I found out like, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Mr.

Coppola would like it in Sicilian."

I'm going, "Okay."

[ Laughter ] "Okay, okay."

'Cause you don't know who's out there.

You got to do it right.

You got to do it right, or -- [clicks tongue] You know?

You never know.

[ Laughter ] And so it was a great honor -- a great honor to learn this song in Sicilian and to do it for Mr.

Coppola.

And we got this arrangement for it, and we had the arrangement basically for this setup.

And so we thought, "Oh, let's do a little Sicilian in this beautiful chapel."

This is "The Godfather" theme.

"I'm gonna sing you a song you can't refuse."

But the Sicilian title is "Brucia la Terra."

It's beautiful.

[ Applause continues ] So, some of you I met before, and you said you first heard me on "Ally McBeal," which is really, really cool.

I think that show was pretty big here.

And, you know, I get asked sometimes, you know, "How do you feel about the songs you did when you were very, very young?"

And my answer to that is that I actually love singing them now, more than I ever did when I was a kid, because I was getting these really, really lofty songs of love and loss and all these things that as a 17-year-old I had not been through yet.

And so to have the chance to go back now and to sing them as a 44-year-old man who has truly lived... [ Laughter ] ...is really a joy, and it makes me appreciate these songs.

On "Ally McBeal," I was in a beautiful chapel, singing this song, and I thought, "We're here at Union Chapel.

We should do it again."

This is called "To Where You Are."

And, you know, we were thinking about love.

I am so fortunate that I have the most incredible partner.

She's in Los Angeles.

And we always, like -- When life throws you crazy things, as it often does, our thing that we would always say to each other is like, "Well, yeah.

But, babe, we have to be the constant.

We are the constant in all this, while everything is just going haywire around us."

And so when I told Benj and Justin that that's kind of like what we call ourselves, is the constant, they're like, "That's really good.

And let's, like -- let's draw on that."

And so we kind of, like, developed this song that is really about that to me.

That is something that it is about.

It could be about your parents.

It could be about a pet.

It could be about a teacher.

Whatever that is -- and certainly in the world that we are in, I need to hold on to those anchors in my life more than ever before.

And if you feel the same way, maybe this song resonates with you, too.

So, this is the song that came from that.

This is called "The Constant."

[ Cheers and applause ] Oh, my goodness.

This song -- I heard this song in the back of a taxicab in Dublin, Ireland, while I was promoting my first album.

And I was in the back of a cab, and I'd split a few G's that night.

[ Chuckles ] And I was feeling it, and I was kind of, like, dozing off in the back of the cab.

And all of a sudden, this song comes on the radio, and I'm like, "This is the most beautiful song that I've ever heard in my life."

And, then, I was there.

I was at my hotel.

Life goes on.

We came back to L.A., and I started working on my second album, "Closer," with David Foster.

And we were working on something else, and, then, somebody came in the studio and said, "Hey.

This song is out of Ireland, and I think Josh would really sing it quite beautifully.

What do you think?"

And I said, "Hey, that's my -- That's my drunken taxicab song.

Yes.

Absolutely, yes."

So, I don't know what we were singing.

We totally put it aside, and we sang this song.

And to be honest, we didn't know this was a hit song.

It's very, like, beautiful, but not the kind of song you would normally hear on the radio.

And so when I recorded it, I thought, "Oh, this rocks, but I don't think -- Maybe nobody will hear it."

So, you know, to be able to go around the world and have a song that is an anthem in every single country -- And I'm so proud of that fact.

It's so wonderful that people have that.

And, so, London, I know you are a vocal crowd.

You've been so wonderful tonight.

So if you will open your hymnals to page 6.

[ Laughter ] You want to sing along with me, it would be my privilege to do so with you.

This is called "You Raise Me up."

You guys are amazing.

Thank you so much again.

Oh, man.

Union Chapel.

You're gonna give me a big head here.

Come on.

I never lose sight of what a privilege it is to do this for a living.

You know, there is a lot of division in the world right now, certainly a lot of division in my country.

And to be in a profession where I can, you know, literally -- in this case quite literally congregate people under one roof and share something that everybody loves together, during a time when everything out there is just yelling at us how scared and angry we should be all the time at each other, to be able to sing songs that I think reflect that, also, certainly keeps me sane during crazy times such as these.

And so this is a song that I sing it -- I sing it, because, like, I need to hear it over and over again.

Another one of my favorite composers is Paul Simon.

He's somebody that just has always resonated with me, one of the great lyricists that we've had.

And this song I think to me, like, represents you know, the beauty of our similarities and the beauty of our differences and what it means to be there for people and to share something together.

Be a bridge -- Be a bridge as often as you possibly can.

And you never know what troubled water you are helping people over.

I know that's cheesy to say, but it is very, very true.

I'm gonna sing one more for you.

But this has been a total dream come true to come back here tonight and sing some songs that have meant a lot to me.

This song is probably one of my top, like, one or two favorite songs ever.

And, you know, I'm sometimes scared as a singer to tackle songs, because I think I'm the first person to say nobody needs to hear the 500,000th version of this song.

But, then, you hear, you know, what the arrangement does, and you hear the production, and you hear, "Oh, my gosh.

Okay.

I think I can sink my teeth into this."

So, this is a song that has meant a lot to me.

And it doesn't really need an introduction, but I wanted to close with this one, because I love you guys very much.

This is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
