anyone else listening to the live versions because it sounds so much better (plus we get Gus)

2M of these views are mine

I don't know if it's on purpose, but with her shadow on the curtain looks the shadow of 2 wings.

I love the line "just John and me" since it refers to John Doe, obviously, but it also seems to refer to John the Baptist (a priest that got beheaded), but - in a way - it can also refer to Ezra Lamb, her brother from Legoland, if we assume that Jane can remember little bits and pieces of her life, - and that Legoland is set before the events of, and connected to RTC - we could assume that she remembers having a brother, but *_not_* her brothers name.

It’s so sad and upsetting that it’s just a poor teen girl, unfortunate death, and no name. She will never be identified and never be remembered. No family or friends to honor and cherish memories of “Jane Doe.” She will never be remembered for the person she was but the person she might’ve been. Nobody deserves what she went through. She pulled the lever twice hoping for anything, literally anything to show up but nothing of the sorts come up. Rest in peace “Jane Doe.”

Oké question how dous her skirt stay up when she’s upside down ?

You know you’re a theater kid when you knew this song before you knew the concept of Jane Doe so you just thought thats what they decided to call her😅

i found this song by accident some time ago and became so obsessed i made several people watch the play with me. cult classic, i wish more people talked about it? not just this song or that song but the entire story. i know its a story we've all heard a million times but the execution is great <3 the actual sob i let out at the very (happy) end ;__;

I know it’s for the plot, but scientifically, couldn’t they just use her fingerprints? Or was she so damaged that the fingers were too damaged? For some reason I was like, “dental” but she has no head! I’m a CJ major.

Song starts at about 1:00

Put it at x2 it sounds so silly

every high note is reference to her scream before she got beheaded

I just realised - "John and me" refers of course to John Doe, but given that they're from a Catholic school and given what happened to him, also John the Baptist.

Jane doe my woman king

i love the background choreography in this too- like how at 4:06 it looks like ricky and constance morph into ocean and noel. its suitably chilling how they disappear into the shadows and then appear again

How did Karnak not know Jane's real name through the thing? But at the end he did?

She's so me bro

if anyone doesn’t know the context, this musical is about six teenagers who died in a rollercoaster accident and are now in a competition in limbo to vote on who will be the one brought back to life. this character, referred to as jane doe, lost her head in the accident and nobody came to identify her body. nobody, not even her, has any memory of who she was.

My choir teacher actually worked with Emily before

Emily's voice is so stunning, her notes are perfection

69 likes nice

i love jane doe / penny so much i will actually go insane

I love that the directors had Jane have a pale face, but not the rest of her body. This shows that her head is more of an illusion while the rest of her body is actually there. Creepy, but really cool!

"My turn~" *pulls switch* Nothing *pulls switch again* Nothing IM DYING OF CUTENESS AAAAAAHH

this is so much better than the recording

just woke up listening to this

Her vocal performance is obviously incredible, but I think Emily Rohm deserves just as many flowers for her physical acting. Even before shes doing air-acrobatics, her movements rarely cease being uncanny and unnatural. Her head is jerky and almost disconnected from the rest of her body in the way it moves. She's stiff in most instances, standing stock-still while her head moves in an almost bird-like fashion. It's like something unsuccessfully trying to imitate human movement, but in a way that's more curious and childlike than sinister. Jane Doe is creepy, yeah, but looking at her I never fear once that she may be dangerous. It very well conveys the idea of a living doll, or someone who's completely disconnected from their body and humanity, but in a way that feels specific to the character instead of just being generic "creepy girl" fare.

I cannot IMAGINE singing that strong and that high while strapped into a harness and being flung around the stage. Incredibly impressive!!

The way she literally did acrobatics in the air while belting soprano notes for the mildest applause I have ever heard…

Dream role omfgggg😢😢😢

Lyrics: Some might say we're released Pushing daisies, deceased But we all know the worms must be fed There's just one lingering fear Oh, my soul, is it here Or is it rotting somewhere with my head? Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah Ahh-ahh-ah Oh, no soul, and no name And no story, what a shame Cruel existence was only a sham Oh, Saint Peter, let me in You must know where I've been Won't you tell me at last who I am? Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ahh Ahh-ah-ah And from the ground, beneath my feet I hear the anguish of the street (A choir never complete) And like an old forgotten tune A song that no one knows Forgot how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And I'm askin', "Why, Lord? If this is how I die, Lord Why be left with no family And no friends?" (Ooh) I've got no celebration Just this consolation Time eats all his children in the end A melody floats through the air When silence falls, does no one care? (Does anyone care?) Another sad, forgotten tune Another song that no one knows So that's how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And she's askin', "Why, Lord?" (Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?) "This is no way to die, Lord!" (No one to sing, no one to sigh) Now that all is said and done Isn't there anyone to tell me who I am? No singing songs of celebration Just this sorry speculation Like John, I'll be eternally A forgotten name, some lost refrain Just "Jane" Jane Doe

I think it would be really funny if Jane Doe was intersex and the cops wouldn’t know even her gender. They would probably call her “the body”

The thing I love about this song is how much emotion it conveys through lyrics and vocals. During the first verse, she just sounds sad. In the second verse, she sounds desperate. In the ending bit (idk if it’s a verse or what) she sounds upset and angry at her situation. Love it so much. Also this song has my favorite background vocals 😊 Sorry about my Ted Talk theater/choir kid analysis 😅

Fun fact: Apparently the "Oh why"s were originally supposed to be an octave lower but emily accidentally sang them an octave higher.

"And i'm askin...WHY LORDDD IF THIS HOW I DIE LORRDDD" Gives me chills I love it so much

I love this song

The way she moves is so unsettling, but i could listen to her voice forever.

I'm so obsessed with this song I can't explain how good it is

Fun fact, the high notes of the song are meant to represent the screams of Jane doe as she was being decapitated on the roller coaster

was trying to go to bed, this started playing out of no where from my TURNED OFF computer

5:15 THE WAY SHE SAYS "is there anyone to tell me who i am" IS SO DAMN NICE TO MY EARS BRO

Chills

i don’t know ANYTHING about Ride the Cyclone, I heard Noel’s Lament and this one and I love them already, and that’s the extent on my knowledge. but i noticed that (as of where i’m at, 2:50,) Jane’s movements seem mechanical, almost? and she doesn’t remember anything about herself, right? all memories wiped, leaving her with.. nothing. people move differently depending on their personality. someone might be confident and barely hesitate, while someone else might keep their limbs close to themselves and withdrawn. personalities are formed by your memories (at least, to me), so Jane’s movements being sort of smooth and mechanical might be another way to show how she has no past, no memories enough to even figure out how to move. ..or maybe that’s obvious, idk anything about this (amazing) play lmao

Omg, chills

How is she doing that

1:11

Born to be Jane Forced to be an alto 😔

It’s crazy that they got an actual siren for this role
