Sigourney Weaver surprises NJ students during production of 'Alien' 

Simple kindness and class. So many performers need to follow Miss Weaver's lead.

what a class act Ms.Weaver is ..I,ll bet the kids felt like a million bucks ,.

so that's what the alien sounds like when he talks. I never heard him give an interview before

It's so great that their production of "Alien" had managed to get the attention of Sigourney Weaver, who's so iconic that the character and the film itself has stood the test of time.

That’s just so incredible for Sigourney Weaver to not just show support, but come to the play in person!! Talk about character and class at top notch level. Those kids will remember that for the rest of their lives. I’m 42 and super jealous but also very proud of those kids and all involved. I salute you Lt. Ripley!

Thats what a means to be a truly good actress .. To make an appearance like that..She was obviously impressed..Hats off to Miss Weaver

Sigourney Weaver is as classy as ever, she is truly amazing and awesome.!!! Salute.!!!

Major crush... Sigourney still looks fantastic, and what a good soul! Well done folks. I salute your astounding efforts. 👏🚀🎯

there is hope for the next generation, good job kids , keep up the good work

Coolest kids ever, the have good taste in epic filmmaking

Now that just makes me so happy I could cry. Sigourney Weaver is pure class for dropping in on these students.

Sigourney Weaver is truly amazing. I haven't watched the play yet but I am sure it was amazing. I am going to be in drama in a few years and I hope we able to do a classic like Alien also.

That’s fantastic. Amazing how talented everyone from the costume design to the acting. Some bright futures in that school.

The director is named Perfecto? Sounds about right.

1. These kids are too cool for school 2. It’s amazing how influential this film is

There's no better seal of approval than to have Sigourney Weaver herself show up at your play.

Still can't help but smile when I watch this.

Just when it seems all kids today have their faces glued to a smartphone, these guys did something that took real work to make something special. The amount of costume and stage work they did was amazing, and show real creativity and effort. Kudos!

God bless those kids. Good job . I wish I could it see it live.

The guy in the Xenomorph suit, would really stand out if he wore that at NY Comic Con!!😁

Really great stuff all around. I love how they really made a alien suit out of recyclables lmao

The Alien himself gave a great interview..... American accent and perfect English. Who knew!!?

Alien the play the movie

For a high school production, that is SERIOUSLY well done! And can you love this woman any more? She's the definition of awesome

WOW! I am so impressed with the New Jersey high school students doing "Alien" on stage. I am even more impressed with the visit from actress Sigourney Weaver there. What a way for the kids to learn about the experience of acting. Bravo!

Very classy of Sigourney Weaver to give these young people most likely the biggest creative thrill they will ever experience. Way to go Sigourney!

Shows how classy ahe is as an actress. Giving back to her fans in a big way. More stars need to recognize that without their fans , they would be nothing.

I see it all born 1972 and see everything in the 80's

I don’t know how I’d stay together if I was hugging Sigourney Weaver.

Class acts. Both Sigourney and Ridley. That is so cool.

Oh those lucky kids. I’m happy for them. Also that is a lovely Alien costume. The Xenomorph even has the little skull in its head. Nice touch.

Better than the last predator movie 🔥

I bet H.R. Giger, had he lived, would have approved as well.

that xenomorph costume is absolutely nailing it. class act of Sigourney

Rockin Sigourney!! What a lovely lady.....

Aliens 👽 would make a killer Broadway play! And hire these kids to help pull it off.

Dang. That's awesome!!!!

I watched the production and it was absolutely incredible. Also, the man in the xenomorph costume sounds like Mathhew Brodrick lol

This goes to show a person character not on stage but also in the public, the kindness of the lead actress from alien and the Redly Scott is a good show of character and kindness. Hollywood stars if your watching take note and follow their role.

First class all the way!!!

wow...i went to NBHS...this is so awesome!!!

ha the helmets look just like the film, amazing! I want one!

i saw the video of their encore performance... now I know why the audience was going insane before the curtain opened... it was Sigourney Weaver speaking! AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! The Queen of Sci-Fi!

Sigourney didn’t just move forward strong women roles, she moved forward strong roles in general.

...tout simplement Excellent! BRAVO les Students et merci a miss Sigourney ! Very Good Job ! From Philippe I live in the south France near Marseille 😎😎😎

Sigourney Weaver? Isn't that the lady from Finding Dory? ; D

Omg! Lucky. I love her. I watched Alien and Aliens about 30 times. My family cracks up because I know about every line she says. I have a small xenomorph toy hooked on to my bed lamp and my sister bought me a Ripley doll. WOW, That play looks awesome. Wish I could have been there. PS- I remember cutting up cardboard boxes to make their pulse rifle. Didn't finish it, but it was looking cool.

Sigourney is known for being a great person.....nothing new here....but it's still AWESOME!!!!

The Alien is a good and friendly boy.

this woman is 69 years old. hehe. jk but she looks great.

I prefer these kid's special effects over today's soulless CGI

Only 1 thing wrong in this report. Ridley Scott directed 3 of the 6 cannonical Alien films. He directed Alien, Prometheus and Alien Covenant. James Cameron directed Aliens which is the sequel to Alien.

Now they just need to make an ALIEN(s) play

Gabriella is one of only 2 actors to play Ripley. The other is the original one herself. Quite a feat at only 18 years old.

That is awsome im 42 years old and sigourney weaver was one of our heart throbs of 1980's. You must watch Ghostbusters - extended edition. And" aliens " the second movie extended cut. They will change your life and are a holeshot of how awsome the 80's had been .. strong male and female roles. Incredibly diffrent than today. I discribe her role in aliens as a momma bear and the marines as the men .. momma bear guides them. In Ghostbusters she displayed the ultimate of femininity and joking character downplayed about the men of her time.. sexual themes run deep in this movie. Its awsome comedy sci-fi retro geek movie!

Yet another reason to live Sigourney!!😁

This is fantastic great job

Woah They came to north bergen..I live there

one hell of a movie

Where’s Joey Diaz?

wtf that alien outfit is so good

Class act as always.

Bravo à vous on s est régalé étant fan d Alien nous avons apprécié votre travail et votre créativité nous vous souhaitons un grand avenir dans ce domaine et agréable surprise de Sigourney Weaver c est géniale qu elle soit venue voir votre merveilleux interprétation. Encore bravo à vous tous.

I think the high schoolers alien suit looks better than the one in the movie

I love how kids today are talking about champion women from 40 years ago... I love Ripley I love aliens... But for some reason girls today are under the impression Ripley never existed and we're stuck in the 1830s as far as human rights. Good on these drama students to appreciate something many of us have appreciated for decades. But ffs tell your friends there have been amazing female and male characters in stories for a very long time.

There is one of your first strong females in film ladies. Not Larson, but 10 years before she was even born it was Weaver that achieved that. At least the girl who played Ripley knows who the credit goes to.

OMG SO COOL!

At the 1:22 mark, did I hear that right? RIDLEY SCOTT the director of ALIENS donates $5,000 to further fund the play about ALIEN. ALIEN was directed by JAMES CAMERON where is his checkbook?

She's such a super lady!

Awesome!

But what are these captions tho?! 😭😂😂

An ALIEN play??? I'd go see that!

Good job kids

Perfecto Cuevo..... sweet

Sign these kids up, Hollywood

They were suppose to wait until May 25 but that's a Saturday of 2019. Should have waited May 27 2019 on a Monday for that because it turns 40 years old 2 days ago and then the NBHS Graduation was 1 month later June 25 2019 And I feel sad that I couldn't see Sigourney Weaver in real life in that High School which I only studied Freshman Year (2015-2016) and I moved to Mexico at that time I lost 1 year of High School from (2016-2017) Because of my report card my grades was by year and in Mexico by semester. I miss that school so much and all of my friends too if I shouldn't loose a year there I should have graduated this year High School and go to College this year 2019 Its been a long time I dont see or even talk to my friends of North Bergen. Now I graduate next year And I turn 19 this October 18 of 2019 so I graduate at 19 yrs old by 2020 that's a bad thing!

How about Alien 3? Make the play better than the original movie.

Now imagine where our arts programs would be all over the country if we actually started funding school districts at healthy rates. They wouldn't have to scramble for funds from wealthy people.

Joey Diaz is still the best thing to come outta N Bergen but this is nice too.

❤️

58°!? Too cold

0:15 - This is north America? If you told me this was a school in South America I would believe you. Who Netflixed your country?

Not all heroes wear nor need capes

I think one of the saddest stereotypes of the generation is the image of them staring only at a phone and not doing anything creative with analog materials, like here. It's not a complete picture of who they are. To have no budget and come up with this??? My generation cohort pre-cell phone couldn't have done it!

Cool story:)

Not to go racial.... i notice that the students are brown...As a brown person, I am proud of them. They aren't doing anything stupid on the streets. Good for them!

Cant wait so see ALIENS... LETS ROCK!! brrrrrrrt That Vasquez better be Mexican and not a netflix twist.

Do they do the John Hurt scene on stage?

THIS is why we need more funding for the ARTS in schools. Better pay for teachers, and better funding for the students. Cheers to the cast and crew of this brilliantly creative production of ALIEN. ART INSPIRES & UPLIFTS

20 kids that passed on being in this play disliked the video

I hope the none of the kids were alive when Alien came out. That would make them 40+ years old and still in high school.

❤❤❤❤❤Siggy❤❤❤❤❤❤

E P I C !

Ridley Scott donated to them?! I guess he's not as bad as I thought.

$10 says another school will make a play based on Friday The 13th and either Thom Matthews aka Tommy Jarvis shows up or Kane Hodder aka the Jason Voorhees

Next they remake Terminator 2

👍👍👍❤❤❤

Who's the chick in white?! Oh yeah cool and Alien is one of the best movies ever made

This kid's wasn't even born yet

Thank God they did a play and not a musical.
