On 6 June 2012 Hathaway and Crowe performed their first song, "All I Ask of You", in the same order they did during the making of the film, Hathaway singing first then Crowe joining in later. Hathaway's scene was shot first, and Crowe's scene was shot later. Crowe was visibly frustrated when Hathaway failed to hold a note and could not perform with him.

Hathaway later stated that it was the most challenging scene to film, that the singing is a lot more complicated than it appears and she was nervous about her singing ability.
