I feel like the England should pick up Hunchback of Notre Dame. They make huge impressive productions all the time and the musicals that don’t seem to start off well in America seem to kick off over there for some reason.
just taking a moment to appreciate that in a miracle would happen he throws around the sentence “i mean i love her” like an insult, his characterization of jamie is so incredible
oh my GOD THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING KILLING TIME FROM AMERICAN PSYCHO i am seriously gutted that that song wasn’t included in the broadway version. that song feels like the blue hue you see in the window when you’re still awake at 5am and the sun is rising, i was so obsessed with it
When I watch stuff like this, I feel like I get sports. Up pops Patti and I'm like "yassss *macho applause, turning to nearest child and getting them in a headlock* check this out kid, this was a game changer for belting in musical theatre"
Bridges is so underrated. One Second and a Million Miles should be one of the all-time well-known musical theatre love songs. Hope it follows the pattern of everything else JRB has done and is appreciated more as a revival lol.
YOU!! (I've been trying to remember why I decided to rewatch Groundhog Day the musical, leading to me becoming newly obsessed with it. It was you! It was this video! ...thanks!) :)
7:08 I know you said you like Aaron's the best. Watch Michael Arden. It is my all time favorite version of Run Away With Me. Out of any version of Mad Ones/Unauthorized Biography Of Samantha Brown. I say this as someone who is obsessed Jeremy Jordan.
That Come From Away moment always gives me chills (and “pass the heart round” always makes me sob). There’s no other musical that affects me quite like Come From Away. I also love that riff from Jeremy Jordan’s Run Away with Me and get just that exact part stuck in my head often.
"Come From Away" just makes me sob uncontrollably all the time. I don't know why, but the musical's reason for existing just hits me so hard and the message it brings about community after disaster is overwhelming. I love this musical so much!
Really solid choices... I still remember ugly crying in the front row watching N2N... George Salazar singing the Goodbye Song and Gavin Creel singing Do You Remember also simultaneously let me breathless and broken.
I have to say, I'm kind of loving the Jonathan Bailey appreciation in this video. Often these types of things stick to the same few performers/songs (which are often undoubtedly fantastic) but he's honestly so underrated as a musical theatre performer. Plus I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with his delivery in the L5Y video. Also, on a random tangent: why the heck, of all the songs, would they completely change 'Killing Time' when American Psycho went to Broadway? Like, the original version is honestly so good and then the version on the Broadway slime tutorial is just so...meh.
