@@TheSillyPotato It looks like tyla.official posted it. Idk if that's the original poster though. I just searched "mean girls regina hit by bus drag queen"
i’ve seen it before, it wasn’t like that for me. a cardboard cutout of the front of a bus very slowly came from the back, with regina in the middle of the stage, then she screamed and the lights cut out. it was also very clearly lower quality though, karen could not sing
i feel like it wouldn't have been that hard to get a bus made of something light but study (e.g. cardboard) on wheels in the actual live show but i guess having regina getting launched through the air would have been more difficult that way
Why can’t anyone hear or understand anything that’s going on in the movie adaptation? I’m glad that this compilation was put together, because the stage versions seemed a lot clearer of what’s actually happening in the scene.
“Hey you know this pivotal moment in the story? Let’s put it in the background of the scene. Not like Cady and Regina confronting each other is important or anything.” God the 2024 movie was such a massive disappointment.
In case you're wondering Renée is here - 1:10 Although I'm here for HER - 1:30 (TEAM STARKIDS FOR LIFE!!) Luckily they were positioned right next to each other. Edit: The movie version is here - 1:51
I saw the non union tour last week, I can’t remember exactly but I’m pretty sure the “bus” came from behind (like lights coming from the middle of the stage). It wasn’t like this though.
My school had a mean girls play that I helped with. The way we did it was making a bus animation on the projectors, turning the stage lights off, and just leaving it implied. Not very high budget, but, school play.
The musical film sideswiped (no pun intended) and iconic moment from the original. The camera should have been on Cady and Regina, maybe a moment where Regina breaks character and sings as she goes flying through the air.
That’s not what happens in the musical though? The second suggestion definitely, but for the first thing, there’s still a distracting music number continuing during their argument in the background. Sure, you can hear what they say, but it’s not as consequential as them arguing, portraying it as a normal moment, in the middle of a musical moment, then suddenly undercutting with her getting hit by a bus. Seemed pretty faithful to me.
mariah rose faith is probably my favorite regina she not only captures her essence she also makes the character her own, which makes her feel more real while still being funny and her voice is epic
In the movie I think it was special effects because there was some video of one of the background actors filming the bus scene and it just shows someone yells bud and everyone turns and screams then in the musical it’s just a bus prop moved in front of Regina and during the blackout the play a video of Regina flying through the air and landing back down
@@AllThingsTheatre991 instead of the side facing hit they have a cutout of the bus front side facing the audience. regina is in the middle and the bus has lights on it and it strobes those lights fast in like a slo moition kinda scene. check tiktok there is some videos of it
@@AllThingsTheatre991From what I've seen, the bus slowly approaches Regina, Cady signaled her to move out of the way but Regina was so caught up at yelling at Cady, and when she realizes it was too late.
@@AllThingsTheatre991Do you have any other stage versions of this musical? Like school ones, etc.. I’d be very interested if you could make a video about it.
Is renee rapp probably the most iconic Regina in the show?? Although I noticed in the movie renee's Regina is more of a tomboy, compared to the og movie (I haven't seen the stage show, I thought the movie was meh and it didn’t have the useal vibe that movies have based on musicals, like for those who aren't in the theater fandom)
Probably a projector that shows the bus so it'll obscure the actors. Then they turn the lights off and show the video of regina flying off in the air in a black background
Looks like projection mapping. The set is placed precisely, and its exact geometry is known. The distortion effects of the projection are calculated and reversed so they cancel out and produce a true image. The stage version of The Curious Incident... makes big use of this, essentially the whole set is either a projection or a surface to receive one.
I remember when i saw Mean Girls at my friends High School they had Janis or Damian (i forget) drive a little toy bus onstage and hit Regina with it. It was great
I've never seen the new musical movie, but just... Why did they not do this scene normally? Are we just supposed to figure out the whole scene from afar or what?
