I find it fitting that Olive is number 13 in this version seeing as she is supposed to be so unlucky to the point of the tragedy. Undeservedly too but she tries so hard not break down. Which is probably why she is a fan favorite. You can't help but empathize with her.
the first few words were made up from the script and the appendix says to accept any reasonable spelling. the words were strictly to keep an audience member on stage. all for comedy purposes:)
I have call backs for that role tomorrow. I might get it idk yet. the two other girls for that character are seniors and im just a little freshman 😂 but yeah I'm scared
Ok so this entire production is AMAZING but there are 2 things I have to shoutout 1 the girl who plays olive literally makes the notes in I love you sound so easy when they totally aren’t and I am so impressed it sounds amazing! 2 the kid who plays chip and olive’s dad has the voice of an ANGEL I can’t wait to see him in more performances.
Oh my gosh I'm so nervous I'm going to be playing Olive in my musical (opening night's literally next Thursday aaaah but we're only going to perform it twice anyways) for my middle and high school spring performance and I hope I do well aughhhh
Very well done! Each actor portrayed their character very well without copying the original cast. There were a lot of little tweaks and changes to the script and the audience volunteer words that made this show very fresh and fun
i love this production! very well done. great characterization. panch made me laugh a lot haha. auditioning for this show in a couple weeks, this helped a lot!
My music program is doing this musical and I’m honestly super new to musicals and I was wondering if there are like any characters that would be easy to audition for, I’m half way watching this and I’m into olive but still I want more opinions 😿
@@ch3rry_kit1en depends on your style of singing, if you have a low range theres lots of places that cast a woman as mitch mahoney, marcy and schwarzy are better if you belt, but olive suits a softer sound, rona is kind of a mix but honestly all the characters are great

One thing I really like is the characterization that everyone did because they took it to a whole new level one of my favorite things was every time William went up to the mic you could hear him heavily breathing
That was absolutely fabulous. I’ve seen a couple of versions of this and I will say that this is one of the greatest I’ve seen. Well done to all👏👏👏👏👏😊😊😊😊😊😊
Same!, im really excited cause I actually got in, I only got ensemble (which is still fun), but being a freshman and getting in Is pretty exciting haha
still coming back to rewatch this and there is not enough credit for the actor playing barfee in the comments - such an incredible voice and awesome stage presence !!
I literally love the actors in this performance! My acting company is putting on a version of this play, I got cast as Douglas Panch. This performance has been a huge inspiration to me. I cannot get over the choreography, it is amazing! If you would happen to have the actors social medias that would be awesome because I would love to see more performances by them.
we were supposed to do this for our spring musical, but it got canceled bc of COVID-19 :( i was so excited bc i was supposed to play logainne and it was gonna be our last show with the seniors, and now its being taken away from them :(( theres still a possibility that we can do it next school year, but probably not with our original cast unless we do it at the very beginning of the year :/
Yup, I was a senior and our spring production of All Shook Up got cancelled. Still sad that I went to three months of rehearsals for no final performance
This is definitely the best performance of this show I’ve seen. I was cast as leaf and we have a performance this March. I’m really excited and this is definitely helping me get an idea of my character
