I love how weird and unique this version of SABM is like it’s amazing. That quick change was so impressive too swear he only went behind the thing for like 10 seconds
I worked on this production and did this quick change! Yeah, his jumpsuit was under his uniform. We actually had less time during tech, but we had him go back sooner behind the set piece as to give us all more time (tho, he ate it up even with the shorter time)
I have no idea what I just watched, but I love the detail at 4:18 of the cat woman on the left getting distracted by the tassels and having to play with them 🤣
This is a song from Ride the Cyclone, a musical about 6 teenage kids that were in a choir who all died in a rollercoaster accident. This character, Ricky Potts, had a rare disease which left him unable to talk at all, or walk well. So, he escaped to his mind where he made a story to entertain himself. This song is that story :]
this might be my favorite version of sabm, i'm honestly shocked by the production as a whole, i also saw the ballad of jane doe, and the whole stage, the actors choice, the costumes, the lights, the voices, it just fits so perfectly together and it's so creative. i feel like i NEED to see the whole production.
I think something I really like about SABM is that it kind of references this weird 60s-90s scifi phenomenon where things get weirdly sexual (late in the Dune series, Stranger in a Strange Land, etc). Probably a big ol reach but it's cool to see this commented on in some way.
AS SOMEONE WHO COLLECTS SABM RECORDINGS, IM SO GLAD THIS HAS A HIGH QUALITY RECORDING NOW. THE ACTOR DOES SUCH A GOOD JOB AT THIS I LOOVE IT SO SO SO MUCH
I WAS HOPING I WOULD FIND THIS AFTER I SAW A CLIP OF IT i hope u know how INSANELY talented you are... this is like my favorite version of this song ive ever seen and ive watched pretty much every production i can find (im talking ive done a DEEP dive).. this is SO CAMP, the vocals are UNBELIEVABLE, some of the best ive heard, im talking genuninely im obsessed. the energy is fuckin great, the characterization is so fun.. i love how excited ricky is the whole time (the HEY? heyyy... :3 is my favorite) also those RIFFS!! beautiful. also rickys so smooth during the 'i am just a man' section its such good characterization bro. im so impresssed with this performance
Danny, your eyes looking so wide throughout the whole thing just made me like Ricky more. I have no idea why though, it was amazing and nice little addition with flipping the jacket back on your shoulders for almost all of the Bachelor Mans when wearing the Leotard. It looked so natural with your movements. 10/10. 💫🐈🐈⬛
This goes for the number 2 best of best SABM. I love your voice and how much unhinged (/affectionately) you sounded. Also kudo to the outfit department
