I absolutely love how Krysta portrays Wednesday going on the brink of insanity for feeling this way, she constantly holds herself back from liking this stuff until, eventually, she gives up and accepts it.
The best version ever. Carrie Fletcher was amazing, but I didn't get that pure raw talent that Krysta has-- Carrie's was more of a professional, glossed over, but still freaking amazing tone. Krysta completely embodies Wednesday. I'm doing this song for an audition-- wish me luck!
But Carrie hasn't played her yet?? How can you judge whether she's good in the role if she is only right now rehearsing and maybe hasn't found all of Wednesday yet. I think you can't really judge 100% accurately if you simply don't see both of them in the same position. Also, I in no way intended to be rude or anything. I just think you should give her a proper shot
Man, this is amazing. While watching this I could only think “Holy crap that woman is crazy” because of her facial expressions and corporal positions. Heck, even her voice alone makes you understand what Wednesday is passing through: A man that is changing everything she has ever believed in. Krysta Rodríguez is goals. I’m playing Wednesday is my school production and I can only hope to do as awesome as she did. Also, what the hell Pugsley is your throat okay
WEDNESDAY] I don't have a sunny disposition. I'm not known for being too amused. My demeanor's locked in one position. See my face? I'm enthused. Suddenly, however, I've been puzzled. Bunny rabbits make me want to cry. All my inhibitions have been muzzled, And I think I know why. I;m being pulled in a new direction, But I think I like it. I think I like it. I'm being pulled in a new direction. Through my painful pursuit, Somehow birdies took root. All the things I detested impossibly cute. God! What do I do? Pulled--- Mother always said be kind to strangers, But she doesn't know what they destroy. I can feel the clear and present dangers, When she learns that the boy... Has got me pulled in a new direction, But I think I like it. [PUGSLEY] That was good! That was good! [WEDNESDAY] I think I like it. [PUGSLEY] Do it again! Do it again! [WEDNESDAY] I'm being pulled in a new direction, But this feeling, I know is impossible, So I'll confide that I've tried but I can't let it go. It's disgustingly true! Pulled, pulled, pulled! Puppy dogs with droopy faces, Unicorns with dancing mice, Sunrise in wide open spaces, DisneyWorld - I'll go there twice! Butterflies and picnic lunches, Bunches of chrysanthemums, Lollipops and pillow fights and christmas eve, Sugar plums! String quartets and Chia Pets, And afternoon banana splits, Angels watching as I sleep, And Liberace's Greatest Hits! Have got me pulled in a new direction! If they keep insisting, I'll stop resisting. Just watch me pulled in a new direction. I should stay in the dark, Not obey every spark, But the boy has a bite, Better far than his bark! And you bet I'll bite too, Do what's truly taboo, As I'm pulled in a new direction!
I'm going to audition as Wednesday for my show in my town, but I've never taken on a lead role in any play or musical before...the auditions are in two weeks! I have to sing this song for it...I'm really excited but I'm still really nervous...wish me luck my fellow musical lovers!
Auditioning tomorrow... nervous :( I'm a bit of an alto... CAN'T SEEM TO HIT HIGH NOTES! its ok.... i tried my best practicing so i guess if i don't get the part its ok :))))
I recently went to see the UK Tour, it was so good! Carrie Hope Fletcher was a BRILLIANT Wednesday, she and Krysta share a lot of things in common with facial expressions, the way the hold themselves and singing range but both performances are so wonderful in their own special way, but I have to say the UK tour will always be MY Addams Family because it was the first time seeing the musical live and it's just...anyone in the UK PLEASE LOOK UP THE REMAINING TOUR DATES!! And go see this wonderful show it's PHENOMENAL!!
Dude, it's not the mixing. She's singing live. The belting and the notes are still her. All mixing can do in live theatre is boost the right sounds at the right time. Those sounds are still down to the actors and musicians.
Do you know what mixing Is?? It’s a technique used to belt. Krysta has a great mix which let’s her be able to belt in her upper range with ease. All broadway stars use their mix when belting high.
Had never heard of it, outside of audio engineering, actually. I've heard of belting with your head voice, but never had heard it referred to as 'mixing'.
Krysta has become one of my new favorite belting actresses, especially since I auditioned for this show a few summers ago, didn't make that one, then just recently did First Date, and loved her as Casey! She is amazing!
I seriously need help, I’ve watched this at LEAST 36 times in the last two days. Krysta has the most unique voice and I’m absolutely obsessed!! Wednesday is one of my dream roles but I know that I’ll never be able to belt like her! Also, I prefer this version (Chicago tryout) over the Broadway version, thoughts?
This woman is so good. Just had to come watch this again after so long because she's in the new show Daybreak and she doesn't sing nearly enough in it.
I recently watched the UK cast and am now seeing SO MANY CONTRASTS TO THE BROADWAY VERSION!! In this scene, Wednesday says how she wanted to meet Lucas "somewhere safe" but her mothers making them come to their house and play THE GAME, in the UK it's Wednesday's idea to bring the family to her house and then her mother mentions THE GAME and when she snaps the neck of the bird and says "don't grow up Puglsey, it's not worth it!" in the UK version she says "fly away little birdy!" and during some of the songs the lyrics and dialogue have changed to suit a British audience (seeing as British people won't really know what "chia pets" are the line was changed to pirouettes) also the choreography has changed slightly etc etc, both version are amazing, phenomenal and spectacularly funny!
Well I have until March 2018, almost a whole year, to work on this song until auditions. And this might be the most absurdly awesome thing I have ever watched. Who am I kidding, this is definitely one of the best things I've ever seen.

i tried out for my school musical which was addams family and i didn’t make it but i find myself constantly coming back to this video being in the school musicals has bee something i’ve done since third grade and it was something that made me happy but it disappeared
I believe in you! You were casted for a reason. Just be careful not to hurt yourself and speak up if something hurts! I feel you, I'm a mezzo soprano but I usually play alto parts so it's really hard to get casted as something new. Break a leg!!
We did this for our school musical. I was the drummer (yes, a girl drummer) and this was my favorite song to play too. Such a good song and has a cool rock beat.
We're not doing this musical, but I am singing it for my audition because it fits my voice, and we're not allowed to sing something from the musical we're performing.
I dont like how the Liberace's Greatest Hits bit. Its to short in the music sheets for the show on broadway and on tour the words are longer and then fit right in to "have got me pulled in a new dircetion..." it sounds better becuase you dont have the awkward pause.
I played Wednesday 6 years ago in high school and this video was my go-to. now im auditioning for her in college and hoping krystas energy can come through for me one more
I'm auditioning for this show tomorrow and I really wanna be Morticia and one of my best friends really wants to be Wednesday so it's perfect if we both get the roles we want
im in love with this song my bf deffinatly got me pulled in a new direction im not rlly the nicest person or i wasent and now im alot nicer my friends r in shock just like wensdays family
