In our production, we reused our HUUUGE red flag from Les Mis a few years back, and it was so awesome when Baby Bear stood there waving it like WILL YOU JOIN THE FREAK CRUSADE
Okay I know the character of Pinocchio is supposed to talk and sing all wacky- but you can still tell that the actor who plays him is SUPER TALENTED. Same with Gingy.
@@rebeccaelise3080 It's even more than that, and most of it is actually hidden within the arrangements and pit orchestrations. It doesn't stop at just musicals either. It goes from pop songs, to spaghetti western, and even to "classical" stuff with some Mahler and "Nutcracker".
Just now realized the staging at 5:37 is a reference to the staging for Les Miserables' "One Day More" (triangular formation, flag waving in the back, Gingy is supposed to be Gavroche)
Stacey B Because after being in vocal for 6 years, knowing the song by heart, and being in this play I have come to the conclusion that mama bear was completely off key and pitch for her solo.
The guy playing Pinocchio is AWESOME!!! I went to see this with my school when I was in yr 10 and this was easily my favourite song out of the entire show 😀 I also love how they rip the Big Bad Wolf's coat of to reveal a sparkly sassy red number 😀 xxx
Tierney B yes lol our show was in the beginning of November though... it went rly well... also I accidentally said it was a school production it was actually a theater group (JCC)
I'm also a girl playing the part of Pinocchio, and I'm still trying to add my own little thing to my Pinocchio voice. You pretty much need to talk in a higher voice and talk a little rough also. But I'm still trying to make it should as good as the original broadway Pinocchio
I'm a girl and in a play I had to be the big bad wolf. They said I did awesome, considering I was a sweet person, pretending to be a bad person, pretending to be a sweet person.
This is like, so many years after this vid was released... lol but I’m a girl and I got cast as Pinocchio and I’ve been trying to find inspiration for the character and I just have to say Pinocchio’s actor is so inspiring I love him💓💓
I'm so sad this show closed :( from the bits I have seen it looks really good! Everyone is so talented (especially you) is there a chance it might reopen?
I'm confused in the original Broadway musical some characters say lines that other characters did in this. Also, some lines were changed. Was this the Jr. version or did the director just change it a bit?
This is the National Tour of the show. They only cast the important roles and there were a few roles that they deemed insignificant because they only sang one small solo and didn't have much stage time, so they saved money by not casting that part
@@michaelgiddens3106 That’s interesting that they did that. I was involved in a production of Hamlet 3 years ago and our director did something like that too where they wrote out a character with only a few lines at the beginning and gave those lines to another character.

Natalee Stepaniants right*
I feel like mama bear took the key as a suggestion
Gmario 7233--You noticed that, too?
I was mama bear in a shrek the musical! 😊
@@tailsmintdubs--I hope you could read music better than the actress in this version could.
Facts, flat as can be

LOL Peter Pan....
"Maybe if we all close our eyes and clap REALLY hard!"
SHUT UP YOU'RE 34 YEARS OLD AND NEED A SHAVE!
Lol
Sadie Bijlsma I’m Peter Pan in this play
Bloody hell Mama Bear!
Any key will do...
late... but I was just thinking the same thing lol
+Allie Henzler haha me too I went to sing along with her as I was getting ready and I got so confused😂😂
I got cast as Mama Bear!!!
hahahha omg
Jamie Bendy I thought this was Broadway till Mama Bear came in
The Les Miserables reference with the flag and Wicked reference in the song "Things are looking up in Duloc" are what I live for.
Also, in the tour cast, the dragon song is called "Forever" and it ends with "You're gonna love me" and it sounds exactly like Dreamgirls. :)
Angel Savacool and a part of "what's up Duloc?" sound like "One " from a Chorus Line (Sorry for my bad English, i'm Italian)
Also, there's a Gypsy reference. In story of my life when mama bear says "mamas in the mud mamas in distress"
Don’t forget the lion king puppets in travel song!
Seriously, this musical is at least 30% trolling other musicals 😂

the "bring me down" ending from Farquaads song is referencing the musical wicked
+RebelYellBoy at the end he says "AHHHH!
@@karajeanspindle and like the very next line references Chicago.

I love this song. Being yourself is better than bring somebody else you are not.

Lisa Ryplanski very true
Lisa Ryplanski is that kind of the opposite of acting?
*isnt
Zach Sorah haha good point, actors being someone else singing about being themselves, how ironic
Mama bear was sharper than a fucking tac
I thought I was the only one. When she started singing I was like uh, there’s something off there, maybe it’s supposed to be sang like that?
Great! apart from mamma bear's character being completely off key at the start
sammy Okay, so you noticed it too!
sammy how do u know idiot 😡😤👿😈
Stacey B because it's obvious you tone deaf moron!
Stacey B Because after being in vocal for 6 years, knowing the song by heart, and being in this play I have come to the conclusion that mama bear was completely off key and pitch for her solo.
omg thank god other people noticed too my ears hurt
I am obsessed with shrek the musical at the moment!!!!

Tony Johnson, you have style for days
Ian Smith i prefer John Tartartiliga's pinocchio
@@itsjoeverforyoubruh me too, he played the character to basically perfection in my opinion
Anybody else like it when Pinocchio yelled at Peter Pan?

Oh my gosh. You're a fabulous performer. This is awesome!!!!!
I wont Grow Up! Peter Pan is Beautiful

Tierney B yes lol our show was in the beginning of November though... it went rly well... also I accidentally said it was a school production it was actually a theater group (JCC)
***** I hope your show went well! Its a very fun part to play, and the makeup takes a while to clean off though lol
