There are also these events called miscast Broadway or Backwards Broadway where actors of the opposite gender or age switch roles. Ben Platt played Mrs. Lovett and one of prison inmates in Chicago.
Watching Matilda honestly just lowers your self-esteem while you grin at the great music because you know you'll never be as smart as Matilda and never as talented as the kids who are performing
@@leilabrittonshelton I’m not saying SAC’s bad, far from it actually. But I personally admire Presley because she’s so young and talented. Also, SAC apparently is kind of rude but I’m not tryna judge so
@@dianaodjegba1263 not really it’s just practice lol I warm up which take 10-15 mins and then practice for at least 15 minutes a day lol I haven’t had a day off in 4 years
@@NicoNeoX wow how do you teach yourself to sing?? I’ve been trying but daily miserably. What is a typical singing routine for you? Like what do you do to get better/learn😅
I don’t hate them, but it’s rather I’m jealous and hate myself bc I can’t sing and can’t afford lessons. Like I love Tangled the Series and Eden Espinosa, but every time I hear her sing (and yes I know she’s not a kid so that doesn’t pertain to the video) I get a little mad bc I learned she’s never formally trained and only had a handful of lessons in like high school and I’m just like, I fucking love singing and musical theatre and it breaks my heart so fucking much that I can’t sing and then there’s people that are just born with talent and worse born w singing talent and don’t want to go into it. It makes me sad and jealous. Like I don’t hate the kids or the people, I’m just jealous and sad and mad at myself
@@user-yi5qp6ht4b right. Like it’s so frustrating. I’m glad you’re talented but if you’re not gonna do anything w it can I have it? Please (not directed at you obviously jist you in the sense of the general of who I’m talking about if that made sense)
@@beccacrum9236 omg yes i agree. and what's most frustrating is when some people say "my voice isn't that good" but get the lead in musicals and are well known for their incredible voice like what 😭😭😭 i'm so jealous of people that can sing or ESPECIALLY people that come from a musical family and have experience. idk its so frustrating 😭
@@user-yi5qp6ht4b like no one in my family can sing but I just had to fall in love with singing and musical theatre so I can cry alone bc I will never be on stage or even be able to post a video to RU-vid of me singing
Me, a 13 year old: I can’t wait to be an adult so I can become a performer and my mom can’t tell me what to do Me: watches this video Me: oh god I’m helplessss
There are some amazing RU-vid videos for this. I definitely recommend Jacob's Vocal Academy ❤️ these videos really help me warm up and keep my voice up, when I am working 😁
can we take a moment and talk about the girl who sang tomorrow her just everything omg that was so like good my jaw droppppped like all of them were good just wowwowwowowowoowwowowow
It took me the whole 40 seconds from 3:01 to figure out that was the SAME kid. I was scratching my head trying to figure out why their hands looked so weird! THAT'S THE SAME KID
I saw Andrew Barth Feldman on his last 2 weeks-ish of performing. He was spectacular and was absolutely amazing. Everything he sung was with such passion and talent.
im 12 im hoping i can be like presley ryan and be on broadway by her age Edit: I just finished my first show, it was awesome! (May 2021) Btw I’m 13 now Edit 2: I'll be doing a musical theatre intensive this summer (2021) I can't wait :D Edit 3: unfortunately had to quit dance due to stress but in fall 2021 I was an important lead in my first musical, currently i’m playing the role i auditioned for in a class play and in a couple weeks i’ll receive the cast list for another play (january 2022) 💗 i’ve come to terms with the fact that i won’t be on broadway as a teen but i’m never going to stop working and i know i’ll make it at some point, but i’ll keep editing this for fun to let y’all know how things are going! tbh i think this is gonna be my last edit. it’s august 2nd 2022 and i’m 14 years old. i still do theatre, i got the lead in the spring play a few months back, but i’ve directed my dreams more toward music! theatre is always gonna be a huge part of my life but i realized making it to broadway isn’t really for me. i want to make music and share it with the world, and i don’t think broadway is the way to do that! im gonna be doing theatre for fun now and focusing on music :)) thanks for following along with my journey/self discovery haha
@@minupamin Yep! My mom said I might be able to go to new york again and audition after COVID, but I live pretty far away so it takes a few hours to get there.
@kingcerati Thank you so much! I take a theatre class at school (online) and I do drama club. My main problem is I'm really shy about singing around my family, but when I'm with my friends I sing a lot! I've sang in two talent shows for my entire school so I at least have some performing experience.
@@merete2895 So basically, in June 2019 I contracted Whooping Cough (yea, the disease u get vaccinated for) but I wasn’t diagnosed until after the three week period where you can get cured by medication. This meant that I had to just wait for it to go away which took 6 moths. With Whooping Cough, you have uncontrollable coughing fits and I had to teach myself how to breathe in between them so I didn’t SUFFOCATE. The thing is, I was teaching myself how to breathe with my chest and the top of my respiratory system, which is not meant for all of that pressure. This meant that my breath was getting fatigued which triggered my vocal chords to close when breathing in instead of opening (vocal chord dysfunction). You should see a speech pathologist to retrain your breath, mine was very helpful.
Wow I am just shocked and proud that I know most of the people in this video. It is hard to keep up with so many people on broadway that I can’t know everyone.
This is a Joshua Colley appreciation post! In all of these clips he was just amazing! Probably my favourite broadway star. I can't wait to see what he does with his career ❤
I saw the national tour of Matilda and I remember being SO jealous of those kids bc they were my age and getting to do what I love all over the country
Funny story... I was kinda friends (more like I just knew him) with Joshua Colley when I was like 6 years old and I didn't know that he was famous at the time. He was basically in a play at my uncle's theatre that my mom and dad did sets for so I was there all the time and I always hung out with the actors backstage. Then like 7 years later someone in that same play did a throwback post with him in it and someone commented on the post saying "YOU KNEW JOSHUA COLLEY" or something along those lines. So me being curious looked him up and realized, oh he's kinda famous and I knew him...

What about Sadie Sink, Lea Michele, Ariana Grande, Tom Holland, Suzy from Stranger Things, and Elizabeth Gillies? My favorites were Presley Ryan, Mallory Bechtel, the girl who sang tomorrow, and that girl who sang that song from ruthless.
Reminders to people who are feeling sad and discouraged! 1. These kids are the best of the best of the best. The best of the best don't even get cast on Broadway as children because there aren't all that many roles for children on Broadway. Everyone is worse than them, so if you're feeling bad about comparing yourself to them, its because there is barely anyone in the world who would feel good when comparing themselves to these kids. 2. You will always have a chance to perform. Broadway is not the only theater there is. You can have incredibly rewarding experiences as an actor without getting anywhere near New York and without going professional. 3. You will have a chance to work in theater. Not necessarily as an actor, and there are many other ways to get involved. The theater world is about connections, so if you put effort into making connections, you will probably be able to find a job in theater somewhere. Of course different factors play into that for every person and I don't want to disregard the fact that every person has different situations financially, locationally, etc. and that it is a lot harder for some people than it is for others to make connections and enter the theater world. I know I would have felt devastated watching this video when I was 12-15ish, especially because I wasn't even pursuing acting or singing and felt like I was losing my only way to continue with theater past high school stage crew, which I only enjoyed because it was a way to be involved in theater. I really (like really) tried to stop myself from pursuing theater professionally until halfway through my first semester in college. I'm now studying theater and am working towards becoming a stage director, which has its own huge set of obstacles that I have yet to overcome, but before I was a senior in high school I didn't think directing was even an option for me. So if you're someone who wants to be involved in theater and thinks acting is the only way to do so, remember there are hundreds of ways to be professionally involved in theater, and that only one of those is acting. I guess this turned into somewhat of a message-to-younger-me post, but I hope that if you're having experiences similar to the ones I had in middle and high school, you'll feel a little better after reading this
Just put all of School of Rock and Matilda in here and you’ll be goof, Edit: And 13 for that matter. I know the original cast is grown up, but when they were kids, dang.
