i do not claim any of this content. all of the music in this video belongs to jacob richmond, brooke maxwell, and the ride the cyclone cast. im simply commentating. thank you for reading. :D
in the first few photos they show, you see that penny is sat next to ricky on the coaster. I think that's why he's so gentle with her throughout. He's not scared, he's seen her face. He knows who she is and she's seen her, I can imagine him saying yes to her having 'the greenest eyes' because she did, and he noticed because he noticed everything.
I'm gonna ramble about my rtc theory for a hot minute. My theory is that the Karnak never had the power to bring someone back to life and that Jane never died in the first place. "There were six children in the cyclone disaster!" I simply don't think that's true. I think that number was a lie made by the Karnak. The real reason for his making of this competition was to allow them the chance to come to terms with their death and find the joy in their lives. One piece of evidence is the happy birthday song where they gave Jane a cupcake. Karnak said the winner would get a hello kitty cupcake, so I think that was foreshadowing that Jane was always the winner. My biggest piece of evidence is the very end. Jane is brought back to life, goes through the light, and is never seen on stage again. The five other students position themselves as If their on a roller coaster about to crash, like they were being transported back to moment BEFORE they died. Jane wasn't on the roller coaster. Karnak said he could bring someone BACK to life, which would mean Jane would've had to have been on the cyclone, but she wasn't. The Karnak wouldn't have been able to make that happen, especially when he said he never read her fortune, so she simply never got on the roller coaster and never died in the first place. All of it was just his was of helping the kids move into the afterlife without regrets.
I’ve seen on another video someone’s theory that Jane was on the ground right by the Cyclone when it derailed and got decapitated when it fell. In her ballad she says “and from the ground beneath my feet I hear the anguish of the street” as if she’s standing on the ground watching it happen, and was killed when the ride and the rest of the choir fell. They also say that’s why her screams/high notes are so long, because she was the last to die.
i like that in thalia, she’s mainly projected onto jane’s skirt, showing how no one who knew mischa knew what thalia actually looked like or if she was even real
Also the idea is that it's the performance of the choir That's also one of the reasons Jane isn't there: she had just joined, so she wasn't added to the choreography
Anyone else notice the line "even in competition against yourself you can still walk away a loser" is supposed to foreshadow that only one member of the choir can come back in the end (and because of the choir having to all compete against itself)
I AM SORRY I JUST REALIZED WHY THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HEADCANONING RICKY AS AN EGG/TRANSFEM. THAT "IT WAS A NAME I WAS SAVING UP FOR LATER" IS THE MOST TRANSGENDER THING EVER.
My headcanon or theory is that Jane Doe/ Penny Lamb was a member of the choir, but from a different (older) time period. I say this because not only is she holding a creepy Victorian doll (which are known for being antique) but also her uniform is different than the others. She has longer sleeves with puffs at the top and they have embroidered details on them as well. And sense she does not remember anything about herself (or really anything) she doesnt realize that she is technically older than the rest. And the reason she was unclaimed is because they only recently found her body after this accident and her parents would have passed by now. Therefore no one in the choir would know her. But thats probably just me :)
Question! Wouldn't her Bodie be decomposed or like rotten beyond identification? Depending on how long ago it was? Btw this isn't any hate this theory is amazing AND I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! =)
@@My_Name_Is_Basil_ OOO that's a very valid point! Partially I think that most of the decomposing of her body would be kind of hidden by her clothing (doesn't make the most sense ik) and because her actual head is replaced by the doll's (which is sort of implied) it wouldn't be super evident to the others or the audience, but it could also explain her stifled and awkward movement a little better :) I really appreciate the question!!
I know Jane Doe is more of a symbol but realistically speaking: there must be an identifiable student missing in school, right? She has the uniform so she was from St. Cassium, they must have records if a girl just STOPS showing up!
If you watch the full version in the newspaper beside ricky you will see a person there w a dress with a blurred face/ covered w black things and prob in the ride shes beside ricky at the back. And the person might be Jane doe/Savannah w the greenest eyes/Penny Lamb (I had to add her nicknames😁)
A while ago, I used Constance's monologue for my acting class final; It was my favorite assignment. The only part I got marked down for was not being loud enough at the start, but I was able to really get into the character by the end. My teacher had said that I connected well with Constance, and I will be forever grateful for that experience. I love this musical so much, the fan base around it is so supportive too! Y'all are awesome >B)
why doesnt anyone talk about how Constance lost her virginity to a ramdom dude she just met that was in his 20-30s and she was like what 15-17..?😕 in a porta potty too.
@@gabeabrio5578 a teenager cannot give proper consent. It doesn’t matter if she did it on purpose. She was a depressed, desperate teen and the carnie was a grown ass man old enough to have a mortgage.
I'm a guy with medium to high range (trans lol) and me and my soprano friend sang it today, with them going in the original octave and me dropping it down as well as adding harmonies. I suck at singing and it was spontaneous, but we actually sounded good. Proudest moment of my life lmao
i love that jane shows personality and emotion in the others songs but not any other time in the musical other than the end of "the ballad of jane doe" where she's smiling
@@enanancheesecakeyeah you’re right. When you smile youre able to open your mouth wider and so your vocal chord can extend a bit (idk if that’s the right term but yeah you can sing higher notes for longer) that’s why when we belt one tends to use an Ah or Er/Eh vowel because it’s easier to hit high notes with the mouth shape for those vowels
I discovered this yesterday watching Broadway fan animatics. I’m definitely a fan of Jane her voice lured me in, definitely the sound a siren would use to kill me
