Why is it that all my favorite shows are in the something rotten category 😹 I guess that makes sense since SR is my #1. I’m just trash for an over the top musical comedy, preferably involving Christian borle
I'd say DEH actually is more part of the high school musical genre than BMC. I'm obsessed with BMC but it's not really about high school itself as much as say, Heathers or DEH.
Is it weird that my favorite musicals are Heathers, Mean Girls, Be More Chill, and Dear Even Hanson? (and Hamilton) I think I found my favorite type of musicals. I was hurt when she said that (HOW COULD YOU FORGET DEH AND MEAN GIRLS)
@@adrianam7834 omg I love your username! It fits the context very well haha. Seriously though, how hasn't Kat done a video on Bare yet?? I need an in-depth analysis of that show, stat
Ok but here’s some of my favorite musicals that needs much more attention: -Come From Away -Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 -Anastasia -Tuck Everlasting -21 Chump Street (written by Lin Manuel Miranda and starring Anthony Ramos and Lindsay Mendez) ⭐️Bootlegs in replies⭐️
Great Comet is amazing, and so are Dave Malloy's other musicals. If you haven't, I definitely recommend you check out Ghost Quartet, Octet, and Preludes!!
QOTD: Spongebob the Musical. It's not really underrated but it's considered juvenile because it's...well... Spongebob. It really pops off but a lot of my theatre friends avoid it, despite my endless reccommendations lol
I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but I listened to about half and I have seen a few videos about why it deserves to be taken seriously. so far I really enjoy the music, and the set design is incredible.
The sponge bob musical had no right to be as good as it is but when ever I want to listen to something that is unapologetically happy and up beat I’ll listen to it
I agree, this show is really underrated. As soon as I listened to the cast recording and watched the television event on Nick, I immediately fell in love with the show. Everything in it is near perfect(scenic design, songs, characters, etc.). I would love for Kat to do a video on Spongebob the Musical because of how underrated the show it is. It deserves to be more recognized as much as the other popular shows.
i was going to be in it as gabe but it got canceled because of covid ☹️ (my sister was playing natalie, my mom was diana and my dad was dan and it was going to be GREAT)
Me too. I was shocked at how little it was known when I first listened to it and then immediately added the whole soundtrack to my song playlist. I think lots of people would really love We Are the Tigers because it's basically like Bring It On, Heathers, and Dear Evan Hansen got together and had a baby
I wish more people spoke about 35mm: A Musical Expedition Edit: I love how everyone has different favourites songs! I think hemming and hawing is really underrated
ikr I've seen the comment sections on the songs and they're so full of people discussing how they interpret the song. Kat could make one video per song discussing it and her interpretations of the stories.
I have been begging the universe for a Broadway revival (that would eventually tour to L.A) since Operation Desert Storm. I believe a timely staging of the right production can change the world.
qotd: more that i wish people knew- pretty woman, jersey boys, bonnie & clyde what i wish you’d make a video on/talk about more: legally blonde, falsettos
Great Comet never gets enough attention because it was on Broadway for such a short time, and when people do talk about it, they always talk about the scandal at the end, not about the beautiful story and music. I saw it twice, and it still remains one of my absolute favorite shows of the decade.
Have you checked out Ghost Quartet? It’s another show by Dave Malloy, and the music is in a similar style, and it’s AMAZING. All of the lack of rhymes, the unusual rhythms, and Britain is in it!
QOTD: Honestly I wish more people talked about urinetown. I feel like the title puts people off but it’s such a good show... Edit: kat literally just mentioned it so THANK YOU ❤️
Qotd: Elisabeth!!!! It's a German musical about empress sisi. It's dark gothic and romantic and this show is pretty huge in Europe and I wish they made a Broadway production of it. Edit: there are a lot of proshots and bootlegs of the show on RU-vid, however most of them are not in English but some of them have subtitles!
This Does this prove my point that Jeremy Jordan connects to everything 😂 QOTD: Bonnie Clyde, bandstand, finding Neverland, tuck everlasting and freaky Friday, parade, Honk
QOTD: NATSHA, PIERRE, & THE GREAT COMET OF 1812...it is literally my favorite musical and the committee that chose the winners for the 2017 Tony’s are NOT SEEING HEAVEN 😤😤
QOTD: I really wish people talked about Tuck Everlasting the Musical more. It has such good and catchy songs and great actors, it really needs more love-
Can I say Hunchback is such a choir heavy show. I did the show and it was very choir heavy plus the story is kinda told by ensamble with the main characters and I love stories/musicals like Hunchback.
I genuinely thought she was stopping- I really like Tuck Everlasting, MORE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW IT!!! PLEAAASEEEEEEEE MAKE A VIDEO ON IT IT NEEDS R E C O G N I T I O N
We Are The Tigers and Lizzie are two of my FAVORITE shows....EVER. Also Carrie. I LOVE Carrie. And I went to listen to Lizzie AND Carrie because of your channel! So thank you!
Musical Theatre Recommendations for my Theatre Peeps: Altar Boyz Shout: The Mod Musical A Year With Frog And Toad Urinetown La Cage Aux Folles Big Fish Chess Bright Star Wild Party ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some musicals people don't really talk about: Assassins, Violet, The Theory of Relativity, and Anne Frank: A Musical Edit another one people dont really talk about: First Date
Theory of relativity is dope, I auditioned with a song from it for my school's fall musical last year :) also, violet sounds interesting, what's it about?
35MM and lysistrata jones are some of my favorite underrated musicals! even though it’s gaining a lot more traction because of netflix, i still feel like the prom was pretty overlooked before any of that, and it’s a great musical with a message that made me feel seen. edit : wanda’s world is a new favorite! mega underrated, operation shutdown and shes so last week are my favorites rn.
Frozen, I don't know why. I just really like it. I can't wait to see Samantha Barks in the West End as Elsa. I think Disney should have kept the broadway show going.
I know you’ve technically done a video on it, but I would love to hear your thoughts on Falsettos. Also I would rlly enjoy a full video on Next to Normal. No pressure on either of those, though.
I feel like Anastasia is just the forgotten musical, since it is a princess musical, but it isn't in the Disney princess category, but it is reeeealy good
QOTD: great comet, octet, ghost quartet, great comet, assassins, great comet, great comet ...can you tell i really like dave malloy shows? especially great comet (also i would love if you could cover the trans media averno universe! @avernotown on almost all platforms! it’s like the marvel cinematic universe but with musicals about gay witches!)
I feel like everyone’s forgotten about Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812! PLEASE CHECK OUT THE CAST RECORDING, IT HAS SO MANY DIMENSIONS MUSICALLY!! 🥺❤️✨☄️ Also I just live for that rich Russian drama! 🍵😏🎶
QOTD: I listen to pretty mainstream musicals cause I’m basic, but I feel like the Falsettos revival is pretty decently underrated, and I absolutely adore it Edit: also, The Prom, and Carrie are underrated and amazing in their own ways :)
I really wish more people knew about Bare: A pop opera. It’s literally the sweetest but saddest, most complex yet simple musical I’ve ever seen. I didn’t even get halfway through without totally falling in love with all (well most) of the characters and the story is just so capturing I’m so surprised it didn’t make Broadway.
Omg I'm early! You are literally my favorite RU-vidr, and it is now my life's goal too run into you at a show 😁😁😁 EDIT: Also, I would love to see people do a 35mm video.
Oh my gosh I felt so supportive at the beginning I was like “yeah that happens, I get it, whatever’s best for you” but then you kept going and I was like “WHAT?!?....ohh” 😅
I loooove Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, though I only listened to it after I saw the Wait in the Wings video on it - I love the dark humour and cynicism, and they got the emo music and visual style down so perfectly in a way you wouldn't expect to work with US history but it really does, and I wonder what a revival would be like
I know people know phantom of the opera, and a lot of the time it's the gateway musical. I just wish people talked about it more I guess 😅 it's still my favourite cause I'm basic lol
Should I listen to heathers? I'm kinda scared its a little *spicy* for my taste. Congrats on the career change! Qotd: I think you should do a full video on 13
QOTD! I totally wish people would listen to Finding Neverland, it's my all-time favorite musical! So sad but the music is amazing! Also You're a Good Man Charlie Brown!! Such funny music!
Oh my god, I literally jumped when you mentioned Carrie. I absolutely love that show, it’s songs and it’s story are magical! As much as I take joy in people reacting surprisingly when I tell them there’s a Carrie musical, I do wish more people knew about it. It’s incredible.
hi, so i don't want to be all mushy and bleh, but seriously, i've had the worst day possible, and seeing you uploading made me so much happier and so much calmer. thank you so much for being so loving and being someone who actually really helps me when i'm struggling, even if i've never actually met you
Matilda needs more love. I think people write it off as “kids” show, but it’s so much more than that! I’m curious to see if the upcoming movie will flop as badly as Cats....
Timestamps- sorry i didn't do all Spring awakening (rock musicals) - 1:48 Something Rotten (comedy musicals- 3:41 Phantom of the opera (dramatic/historical musicals) 4:54 Legally blonde (feel good, wholraome musicals) 5:37 Heathers/BMC ( high school musicals) 7:37 Sorry I didn't do each individual one
I would love for Come From Away to become more well known! It is such an emotional rollercoaster, from somber to hilarious in the span of a chorus! More folks should experience it! Also, the way they use minimal stage props and cast, and keep rearranging a bunch of chairs as the predominant set pieces while playing multiple people is really fun to watch! Edit: With next year being the 20th anniversary of 9/11, it is also the perfect time for the show to be more relevant!
