Get Tickets to BEETLEJUICE: www.broadway.c... BEETLEJUICE star Leslie Kritzer relives high school memories and celebrates Saturday night on Broadway with an ice cream sundae bar.
Leslie (sentimental and serious): "If you're out there and you're struggling, you're not alone" *two seconds later* Leslie (normal): "there's the 7-11 over there" that made me laugh v hard and I don't know why
my friend turned to me in choir during a game and started saying "that was possession. any ghost can do that in less than one lesson ." and than i said " any ghost?" and then she said "any ghost can do sure" and then i went " then Betelgeuse, what do i need you for?" and then we both went " "woah woah WOAH WOAH WOAH." and it was great.
Theatre has helped me so much. Sometimes I'll be at home and I would say "I want to go home". Everyone would say "We'll you are home". No place was more of a home to me then Theatre was. I was in a bad place before I started theatre. I hated myself and I had terrible friends but theatre basically brushed me off and said "you will be alright" and I am thankful for thay everyday. Thank you Leslie for being such an inspiration for people like me everyday.
My home is school, the amount of times I've said I wanna go home is just... That's where I've had so many good memories. And my friends are practically my family, so it really is home to me
I really want to get into theatre... I'm not happy, and I so badly just *want* to be happy, but I'm so scared, I'm already a junior who hasn't even touched theatre despite being interested, what if they don't like me? What if I suck? What if it's too late? I just, don't know what to do with *anything* at this point.
@@wumbe3520 Try it! It's never too late to start theatre!! And they won't hate you! They WANT you to be good! They are on your side and want what is best for their show. You don't have to be perfect! And you will get better the more you do it and here is the best tip I can give you - if you want it, you will be good. If you work hard, you will be good. Break a leg!
This video is so important Leslie. The power theatre gives to young people is so immense. I don’t feel like me without theatre. A boy in my school got so teased about liking theatre, that he isn’t part of this world anymore. Theatre is my home, my safe haven. And I’m so happy Broadway.com allowed you to use your voice like this. ❤️
Ok. Why do drama teachers do this? What I mean is, why do they let the kids cast the show? I’ve seen it multiple times. Kids auditioning for a specific role. How about this. You audition for the SHOW, and you get what you get. Oh, and what a beautiful, honest, and heartfelt vlog. Really wonderful.
Leah Clo at my school, you just audition for the show and you only say if you interested in a lead for not and they will base the cast list off of those as well as callbacks where they go more in depth to lead role auditions. I think it’s a good process even tho some people will be bitter with casting and deny roles which is dumb.
LESLIE!!! You are one of the best vloggers ever!!!! This is a really emotional episode and made my mom cry. Also thank you for mentioning “Songs for a New World.” That show changed my life and is so underrated
I'm not a kid anymore, but this vlog made me feel like one and brought be back to my teens. The BEST vlog you've done to date. Thank you, so much. *****hugs*****
In one of these vlogs could you please do tips on gaining confidence? Bc I’m like the worst theatre kid ever. I love theatre but zero confidence to actually do it which is super sad 😂 love you!!
This whole episode is solid gold. Leslie showing her high school theater origin story, Presley's legendary cuteness... My heart! What else could we possibly ask for? ❤
"everybodys parents getting divorced" i'm so proud that my parents are still married for 20 years now. But i recognized in my class that there are only 3 or 4 kids whos parents are still together. And thats really sad.
Holy crap I'm not kidding when I saw this episode made me cry. As a high school theater kid it was really touching and Leslie is so sweet and inspirational.
There needs to be like a 100 episodes of this. I was able to see this show today, I LOVED it. If you have a chance to see a Broadway show go and see BeetleJuice. Leslie, thank you so much for sharing your life on camera!
This episode really made me fall in love with Leslie. I hardcore felt that bit about the theatre being home and a space she could be herself in. What a doll.
I wanna thank Leslie Kritzer for showing us all of this. My parents told me today that they don’t think I can do it. They told me that I was probably going to have to settle for an acting teacher. But this inspired me to keep going, thank you.
as the weird kid who deeply wants to do theatre for a living but doesn’t know if their parents will support them/if they can do it at all, thank you. this means a whole heck of a lot to me and it’s truly touching.
Two weeks ago I told my sister who just like me would love to be Lidia she’d be an amazing Delia She said “No I would.” This week we’ve been Practicing singing no reason from Beetlejuice
Hey just wanna say beetle juice kinda prevented my sadness growing it made me happier knowing there a loads of others like me and we’re all using this amazing show and fandom to cure us , I love you all for that !! Xx
I love that you can film backstage I wish I could go watch the show in-person I would love to meet you all. Its all apart of life to be different and that is a good thing to be your self anyone who sees this knows what you were going threw because it happens to most people where they feel left out sometimes they just need to know that they are not alone
Watching this on my first full day on campus as a BFA Musical Theater Student. LESLIE I'M SOBBING for the BEST REASONS!! All joking aside, I truly am greatful for the message of this vlog. Theater has always been a place where I can be myself and I love it so much.
I really really have been struggling recently with a lot but also with what I want to do in life and this helped me so much and showed me theatre is where I feel most myself and most alive and that it is what I want to pursue! Thank you leslie❤️
OMG I cried with her. Leslie is the absolute best! Bringing my ten year old son to the show on Sept 7 and we cannot WAIT!!! Thank you Leslie. This was beautiful!
I know I'm a year late and Leslie will never see my comment, but this made me cry. Thank you, Leslie. Thank you for showing me that it will be okay one day and it's possible to live your dreams.
Yay Day 5!! I was so excited when I saw this!!! Drama was an escape for me. I cry watching so many broadways plays cuz i feel like i belong there but i know i cant do it. And im okay with that for the most part!! My health wont allow it and i have to accept it. But i love to dream. I have such amazing memories of the plays and the roles I had. Love you Leslie!!
Omg that's the sketch I did of cartoon Lydia hanging on Presley's dressing room. Geeked out a little lol Love you guys! Leslie is the perfect host for these vlogs!
This video truly spoke to me, seeing that you were once just a theatre kid in high school and lived in a normal house and went to a normal school and now you are on fucking Broadway??!! Spectacular. You’re drive? Amazing. Being motivational? Damn right you are!! I love you and all your work keep rocking it!!
This was so inspirational and so great to watch. Theater is my home and theater is what I wanna do with my life, I’ve been doing theater since I was 5 and it’s been the best adventure of my life. It’s opens my heart to places it’s never been. I feel like I belong to the stage and the theater. Thank you so much for making this video. I wish that I could see beetlejuice again! I saw it in July, and I’m coming back to NY in 2 weeks for 2 days. That’s a show that I’ve always wanted to go backstage in😂 the sets and all of it must feel so incredible on the stage! If your a theater kid and you love the theater and want to do it forever and be on broadway, don’t ever let anyone stop you and push as hard as you can for it❤️
Leslie you are so incredibly inspiring. Theatre gives a sense of "home" to so many people that are struggling in real life. In a way, theatre is an alternate reality, if that makes sense? I love you so much and I'm so excited to see "Beetlejuice" and hopefully meet and talk with you on September 12th !!
I met you a while ago at stagedoor and you were probably the person I’ve ever met !! you were telling me how you used to be on my side of the gate and getting autographs from your favorite actors and how much you loved the community. it rlly touched and inspired me, and you became my favorite person on broadway :-) thank you for staying so genuine
This is amazing. Loved the story about her mom. I feel like that could be memory she thinks back to when she performs 'What I Know Now'. Kind of bummed that they're only going to be 8 episodes. Leslie is such a gem
I was just talkin about being a theater kid to my mom today and I like how Seize the Day o has really brought back fond memories of when I used to be a theater kid and the fact that this episode touched on your fond memories of being a theater kid was amazing and seeing that theater kids even though different generation still have very much the same ritual. To see that you used to go to the diner after every show that's exactly what I did when I was a theater kid. I was doing that tradition of going to a diner of any sorts after a play when I was in Middle School all the way up into High School because when I got into college and was doing plays I was just going to somebody's house and drinking afterwards, and I kind of miss being a theater kid I kind of miss being in the theater because the theater was my home I constantly keep saying I am strange and unusual but the theater didn't make me feel strange and unusual it made me feel at home...ty so much.
Didn’t know you until Broadway.com!!! Love you adore you awesome being and even better actress! THANK YOU BROADWAY.Com!!! More please! Congrats on living your dream!!! SCENE: she enters darkened theatre, floor lights illumine just enough for her to look out as she stands, gulp-she holds her breath, slowly releases it, falls to floor sobbing ‘I did it I did it I’m here omg omg omg !’ End scene. Well it’s what I would’ve done!!!😝❤️😝
So many emotions ! When my parents got divorced just like Leslie I found comfort in theatre and performing. Leslie sweetie your doing an amazing job with these vlongs xxxx
