I've barely started it but I swear as someone who is a big big fan of the musical and used to listen to it on loop while I worked, this is so refreshing to see for me as it made me rediscover the musical with new actors and appreciate it even more. While obviously it's a high-school production you guys are doing a great job!! :D
therapist: "TGWDLM clean version isn't real, it can't hurt you" TGWDLM clean version: ""and then we're gonna REALLY kick your butt" in all seriousness though this is amazing xD
This is so fun! Having seen the original I did not think I'd be watching this all the way through but here I am two hours later and it was a blast, well done all of you :))
All Songs: 1:27 The Guy Who didn’t like Musicals 22:09 Ladledala day 30:19 What do you Want Paul? 36:58 Cup of Roasted Coffee 39:47 Cup of Poisoned Coffee 43:17 Show Me Your Hands 56:27 Tied up my Heart 1:07:17 Join Us (And Die) 1:10:24 The Beginning of Moana 1:17:56 Not Your Seed 1:34:05 Show stopping Number 1:42:29 America’s Great Again 1:49:18 Let Him Come 1:51:16 Let It Out 1:58:33 Inevitable 2:03:33 Ending
I rewatched the original at least 10 times the month i discovered it and ill probably do the same here also im not sure if you copied any of it but i love the choreography (if it was original, its so damn good, if it isnt... well thats a testament to the original and how good your performance was)
I am genuinely at loss of words for how AMAZING this is!!! Highlights: - Jeff Blim (it's nice you pretend you didn't ACTUALLY get Jeff Blim but we can't be fooled come on) (for legal reasons this is a joke that guy is just amazing!) - Greenpeace Girl, Emma, Charlotte - Cup of roasted/poisoned coffee - I will say that imo sounds better than the original even ??! - the fact you got bigger groups for the aliens and probably had to practice DAYS for everyone to talk at the same time - Not Your Seed !!!!! - Prof. Hidgens <3 ABSOLUTELY spot on energy! - the little StarKid references in the background (especially Slippery When Wet) - the audience reactions to everything I can't even list everything it's too amazing!!! So so so amazed by you guys, you really did a great job!
the censorship of "what do you want paul" was wonderfully done !!!! i worried it wouldn't fit and more so if there was no changes,, but came out very comedic !
Big fan of the fact that everyone else is subject to censorship while Hidgens is mostly allowed to keep the swears. Definitely enhanced the character here!
i'm surprised i haven't seen many comments about it, but the kid who plays paul absolutely kills it. we have a tiny jeff blim AND a tiny jon matteson on our hands, people!
This whole thing was great!!! A bit of extra credit to the girls who played Alice and Green Peace girl: WOW that singing was good😍 And to the guy who played Ted: your comedic timing was honestly great, actual Joey Richter vibes!🔥 And the girl who played Emma: you were just totally awesome in every way! Incredible acting, holy shit! You're gonna get far🙏🙏 Maybe reach out to Starkid before their next show?😉
