Jawbreaker/Sugarcloud | Zoë Lewis-McLean | BWMT x Beck Center 

stop she makes constance seem so teen girly like in the best way shes so much more relatable than ive seen her in any other production

Wow… this is the first time I’m seeing Constance show this full emotional arc-you really sunk deep in the depressive stuck-ness that she felt, then captured realizing that small moments are actually bursting with joy and life, and I finally see why all the students are okay with not going back: even though their lives were cut so short, she made them realize that they can appreciate all the wonderful little moments they did get to have. I cried! Thank you!

something about having her sit crisscross applause during this makes this even more heartbreaking

this is probably one of the most emotional portrayals ive seen of this scene

seeing this live was literally so crazy to me, it really cemented my decision to pursue performing arts. extremely talented

This song helped me break away from suicidal idealization when I was 15, softmore year, after an extremely tramatic repressed memory unraveled itself. It's such a wonderful song. To let something so horrible take away the beauty in life, would litterly be my death sentence. This song makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Life to our knowledge only happens once. Thank you for playing this song.

I came from your tiktok. And knew I needed that emotional payoff of the entire song. Constance is my favorite character and you brought her to life in a painfully relatable way. That was utterly fantastic! Thank you for sharing!!

this is such an incredible performance. the way you delivered the monologue felt so insanely natural, like you were genuinely speaking of your own thoughts and experiences. the emotions all felt so real- i just wanted to hug you so badly! you have such a talent and should be very proud!

I really love the details of Ocean and the other choir members just hyping Constance up throughout the number

this is so moving i am genuinely in awe from this performance. the thin line between the laughing and crying through the monologue is what does it for me i think. this is such believable highschooler mannerisms as well i am so impressed

this is the best version of this monologue ive ever seen. the delivery was so powerful and so perfect for the character, and the singing was gorgeous!! incredible job :)

i usually cry a little to jawbreaker/sugar cloud, but i was bawling the entire time for this. i’ve always related so hard to to both and tjis just brought that to a whole nother level. 16/10, good fkin job

my ex boyfriend passed in a car crash last november and since then I've tried to notice every single little thing that makes me happy, every single time that I see something that makes me go god. what a wonderful thing to be around for. this song makes me sob every time. "it took a horrible accident for me to realise how goddamn wonderful everything really is." ❤

This is THEE jawbreaker. I’ve never seen one come this close to perfect

Somehow, I did not know this show before now … but I will be watching for, not only _Ride the Cyclone,_ but anything performed by Zoë Lewis-McLean, both in the past and going forward. Just for a moment, take a time out and watch yourself watching her … this is what “suspending disbelief” means. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Holy cats, and brava!!

OKAY BUT RHE PERFECT TOSS AND CATCH OF THE RECORDER

This is one of the greatest performances I've had the pleasure of seeing

I will forever be grateful that I had the pleasure of seeing this live. I went to the very last show and I have not been able to stop thinking about it since. Me and my family have connections with the beck center and I had seen a bunch of shows there before, so I was excited to say the least when I came to see ride the cyclone, but I don’t think anything could have prepared me for just how good this performance was. I’m so glad this production of ride the cyclone is getting the fame it deserves online because I think this has to be one of, if not my favorite show I have ever seen. Everything about it was absolutely incredible and all of the actors shone so bright, but Zoe Lewis’s performance as Constance has stuck with me more than anything. I’ve been a fan of ride the cyclone for years and years and I’ve always loved the music and the characters, but Constance was never really one that ever stood out to me. I listened to the cast album but sugar cloud was never a song that I played on repeat. Try as I might I could never understand why Constance’s song came last in the musical after the big grand ballad of jane doe. It never made sense to me until I heard that jawbreaker monologue live. To say that Zoe Lewis’s performance changed my entire perspective on the show would be an understatement, I don’t think I have ever felt as deeply for a character as I did Constance in that moment. She brought so much youth and love and life to Constance and made me feel understood in a way I had never felt before by a character in any kind of media. Everything about this monologue was phenomenal, the transitions from Constance using her trauma for laughs and validation, to the regret and complete hopelessness of being trapped in her town, to her realizing that it’s okay to love who she is and appreciate her life for what it was, because life itself is a beautiful thing. And it’s all capped off with this adorably endearing quirky awkwardness that gives such a sense of realism to every line she’s saying. By the time her monologue was over I was sobbing, and I didn’t stop bawling until the show ended. For the first time I could finally understand why Constance’s monologue and song came last in the musical, it’s because she is truly is what the show is all about in the first place. Appreciate your life for what it is and never been ashamed of who you are, you only get one life so don’t be afraid to love yourself, and thats a message I really needed to hear. Needless to say Constance is by far my favorite character now and I think it’s going be a long time before I ever see a performance that could top this one for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me understand how amazing Constance and life itself can be. I’m going to treasure this production of ride the cyclone and this performance of jawbreaker/sugar cloud forever.

The performance of the monologue especially was INCREDIBLE OMG. Ill be honest, Constance was my least favourite female character in this show but that monologue was WOW one day I hope I’ll be as good of an actor as that it was SO GOOD. Argh now I wanna play Jane Doe, Ocean, AND Constance in this!!!!

If they make a movie of this play...they need to get you to play Constance because that was the best rendition of Sugar cloud I have ever heard

This is a phenominal performance!! I love seeing the range of emotion in Constance and what a voice!!!!

The one thing I do wish is that audiences would pay more attention because every time I watch a different production's version of this monologue at least one person laughs at "He was really ancient...like 32" and it's really upsetting to me how often people don't seem to pick up on the horrific implications of that line

I actually watched the SABM for this production when the guy who sung it posted it on his channel and it instantly became my favourite version of the song, just like how this has instantly became my favourite sugarclpud AND jawbreaker, your acting for contstance is how i imagine her to be.. a tad nerdy, anxious but still a teenage girl who knows whats happened. I love you and this cast ^_^

you are my favorite constance. i adore the way you play her. you really bring life into the character.

The gummy bears were such a cute touch

Possibly one of the best performances of this piece and the monologue. You connected so well to the emotions of the scene and character, that the way you delivered all the lines felt natural, like it's Constance genuinely talking, and you were electric during Sugar Cloud, which as such a life-affirming song is key - what a pleasure to watch!

give me my fweakin proshot of this whole performance so help me karnak (love this sm)

Watching this may be the most cathartic experience I've had watching a stage performance, I've been ugly crying since the first few minutes. You've nailed it, and I hope anyone who's ever been a Constance sees this performance and finds the joy in enjoying the little things and in truly enjoying themselves ❤

She could totally play Veronica from heathers she has the personality and voice for it

God the second they spoke I could feel my heart lurch towards them. Absolutely captivating.

this monologue is one of my favorite character moments of any show, ever. and now, this performance of it, might be my favorite performance ever. extremely well done

the start. omg the beginning of this clip. i just finished watching the whole video and when it ended i just started sobbing, genuinely sobbing real tears. the way this person portrayed Constance did such a good job in moving people. I am speechless, this is just amazing.

The way this version of constance is literally perfect omg like i acc started tearing up help

You are what i aspire to be one day. The singing , the emotions the acting!!!! I hope one day i an half as amazing as you are ❤❤❤

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SOOO GOOD!! THE ACTING, SINGING, PROPS, THE SET!!!!!!

Came from your TikTok, I just had to see the rest of the monologue and the song. You have me in TEARS. Your emotions are just so REAL. You have such a wonderful future, I just know it 💕

This is it, this is the best version

I saw you perform in February. I was so moved by your performance, I think more than anyone in any other show I have ever seen. You are seriously incredible. I can't wait to see what you go on to do

I watched this live and by god i was sobbing so badly.

This is my absolute favorite performance! 😊

Omg this performance genuinely made me cry- absolutely beautiful. And you're voice is so amazing too (and you're so cute AAAAA)

Genuinely sobbing

This Is Actually One Of The Best Versions Of The Monologue Before The Song I’ve Ever Seen Oml

This was beautiful

Once i saw the thumbnail i thought it was veronica singing Sugar cloud/Jawbreaker but its constance pala😅

absolutely excellent monologue! i got goose-bumps

That catch at 10:08 was IMPRESSIVE, lol.

The way you played this monologue was just beautiful, it hit me right in the heart

You’re so incredible!!!

Omg the monologue brought me to tears!!!

I NEED A SLIME TUTORIAL ASAP

INSANEEEE 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Gonna be honest, this song is usually my least favorite, but this song has actually made me love it! You did amazing!

you literally ate. devoured. consumed. left no crumbs. licked the plate clean.

This is the best portrayal of Constance I've ever seen!! You make her so relatable and so natural and your voice is beautiful!

This is actually my favourite take on Constance ever

your portrayal really reminds me of gretchen from mean girls- i love how *real* she feels. it’s such a more relatable experience as a current teen. fantastic work!!

Every time I see something from this production I am blown away, perfect vocals, acting, and set design, and the videos seem professionally recorded, making me wonder if we will get a full version? If not then all i can say is… ride the cyclone 2024 slime tutorial no borax no glue

That was incredible!!! I LOVED the delivery in jawbreaker!

Thanks for making me sob alone at work lol but seriously this is such a masterful performance you were made for this role

Why did the carnie sound like Alex brightman

Oh my God, I saw you on TikTok and you posted a part one of your monologue and I asked for a part two I’m so glad you put the full version. I’m very very proud of you and you’re awesome and this is amazing.

Girl the way you ate tho

this representation is so well presented it gives life and feelings into this role on a deeper level thank you

This version is my FAVOURITE! Your take on Constance is absolutely incredible and I'm sitting here in floods of tears. Kudos to you! 🫶

what an amazing performance I wish I could see it through my tears

STOP I LOVE THIS PRODUCTION OF RTC THIS IS NOW MY PERSONAL FAVORITE

i saw you preform here...and you were amazing! i do shows at beck and have seen a bunch there, and this was my favorite show i've seen. you are a very talented actor!

I’m OBSESSED with this portrayal of Constance omg 🥺💕

This was incredibly well performed, truly the best performance of this scene I've ever seen. Is there a full recording of the show? After a quick RU-vid search, other cast members have their songs posted online so I'd just love to know if there's a full version (and if so, I would even pay to watch it!).

Gave me chills. This might be my favorite Constance ever, and production too. The way they all encouraged her at the start, and hugged her at the end. This is what I love, seeing the choir develop a bond throughout the show. The delivery of the monologue was so GREAT and powerful, it actually made me cry a little, it felt so real. I relate to Constance as a character so much and especially *this* Constance. Awesome job, Zoe!

Song starts at 7:21

i have seen like half of the songs from this version of the musical and i have to say it's the best performance i've ever seen good work guys

IM SORRY UR VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL U SLAYED

Best performance of constance!

You're the best Constance that I've seen!
