- This video is not mine. I just wanted to share this version because I think there are only a few out there. People need to see this performance, and Izzy deserves more recognition for this!

Izzy does a great job at showing just how frustrated and fed up she is. You see that not only is she sad and alone but also just done with it all. All the emotions are shown throughout the song, towards the end you see her almost accept defeat. It’s so powerful. Gosh I love this song and Izzy.
Well said!! I think Izzy is really great in putting emotions in her singing. If you've watched her other performances, she mixes her acting in her singing which makes her so in character with every song that she sings that it moves people who are watching. I love that about her performances.
Obviously, she’s crying because it’s the last show but I also realized that this song probably hit a little harder because, after this show, she wouldn’t be Alyssa Greene anymore.
Why would you do this to me?
Oh god I’m crying now
She actually cries in every performance that I’ve seen. She’s one of those actors that is able to cry on command
It’s also a really sad and painful song. Very emotional. 😭
Stage and film can be so different, Izzy and Ariana are both phenomenal I’m glad both of these versions exist. ❤️🎶
They both are amazing for their respective versions (live theater vs movie)
I like this version more than the Netflix movie because in this version you can hear all the emotions and it feels more real
I feel the same. I guess one of the reasons is the fact that it was originally made as a musical not an adaptation from a book or movie. Anyways, Izzy really did justice with this song. I love it so much.
I like both the movie and the live one but also Andrew killed love thy neighbor like i loved it soo much
For me it feels a bit overacting.-.
@@MsMisidolos I get that but it is theatre which tends to be more dramatic. And I just think think that’s just how doing playing alyssa.
The movie uses the soundtrack not live singing. The soundtrack can have emotion and personality of course but it needs to sound clear and easy to follow. When it's live it doesn't matter how much emotion you show, it helps convey the feeling better. Let Ariana debose perform as Alyssa on Broadway and it'll have 10x more emotion than the movie. Just compared both movie and theather song in the soundtrack and they sound similar.
If Andrew Rannells wasn’t in the Netflix version I would like the Broadway more, but everything that has him in it just too good 😂
Love Thy Neighbour is the only song I prefer the film version of!!
@@loveyourlife9166 Yes! That man kills with that song!
they should do this again on broadway and have andy play trent:)
the biggest mistake they made was not casting him as trent!!!
It's so interesting how different this is from how Ariana DeBose performs the song. Both are very good, they just demonstrate their emotion differently.
I love both renditions of Alyssa from Ariana and Izzy! And tho I love Ariana with all my literal being! I gotta say Izzy did this song justice just cuz she actually feels the pain she’s been wanting to release from the pressure her mom gives her. Ariana did great w this song as well but I didn’t feel the emotions as much.
Same here, I think beside the fact that Izzy performed this with so much emotions, is that being a live performance added more into it. I've actually watched the movie first and I really connected to this song when Ariana sang it but then when I saw Izzy's it just hit so different. From her singing to her facial expression it was so powerful. Ariana did a great job but Izzy did justice and owned this song for me.
I think Ariana was more sad and resigned, while Izzy was more fed up and frustrated
I feel as tho...Ariana's was more reserved...yes...but to me...it feels like that stems from all the years pressure. ..you know? It seems like even when she's venting she's still trying to maintain that image of perfection, which speaks to me because it really says she doesn't know any "other" way to be...so even her delivery of the song is "neat and tidy". I thought it was brilliant way to work in the "you're someone in between"...because yes, she was venting her frustrations but she still maintained a precise, put together image because of how forced it was onto her for so many years.
Anyway, haha, thank you for coming to my TED talk
People forget directors exist and Ariana’s might be different because she was told to act it differently for the film version. Films are less dramatic than stage, the acting is less over the top.
Having two interpretations is great because it brings people back the theatre when we’re allowed again!
I have heard the musical on spotify a thousand times. But I've never been able to find anything on youtube from the performance with Isabelle McCalla. I'm legit sitting with tears in my eyes right now
same here when I saw this the first time!
i don't even like this show but this is such a stunning performance, i couldn't not drop a like. wow
hello, I just want to say that I appreciate your comment a lot. I don't see it often that people admitting not liking a show and yet still acknowledging parts of it that they find deserves some praise. So yeah! :)))
The “ your not yourself, your not she wants you someone in between” really hurt y’all 🥲
Dang! You can even see her tears falling down in the light. What an emotional performance!
I love this version so much! I loved the netflix one but Izzy Mccalla put more emotions in being Alyssa Greene! Wish could have seen this!! Want it in London!!
I discovered this musical because of Erika Henningsen's vlog. Then, I watched the film adaptation and I quite enjoyed it. Then I listened to the OBC soundtrack I was really amazed. Everyone's voices is just really beautiful especially Caitlin and Isabelle's. I badly want to see the full musical so if someone out there has a google drive link, please share it with me.
Here's a link to the slime tutorial

I still wish they went deeper with Alyssa's father. It would've been a great and relatable backstory.
the book of the prom does go into her relationship with her father a lot more!!
Isabelle was amazing . you felt every word . it's hard when film is made . you wonder , why not the broadway actors . so many factors come into play . both ladies are wonderful
A beautiful performance by a great actress. But why did the wig department do her so dirty!? It's a CURLY wig, it needs shape! Why force to her to rock the triangle head?
It might be just me, but I thought the wig really fits the character, and perhaps I am biased because that’s exactly what my hair looked like in high school, and I knew several people whose hair looked like this in high school.
Alyssa has a helicopter parent who picks the way she presents herself and most likely doesn’t know how to style curls, it is also at what I call the “compromise” length, which is when high schoolers cut their hair up to their shoulders because they’re not allowed to wear it any shorter but they still want a shorter haircut.
I felt it was a really fitting, I felt like it made her look like a teenager with no sense of self. If her hair was perfect or well styled it would feel out of place to me. But idk, that’s just the way I see it.
@@lila7477 I know! I feel like they did her hair to the capability of a high schooler, instead of making her look impossibly glamorous, like in the movie lollll
@@lila7477 I had sort of had that thought, but you articulated it really well!
@Bryce Collis I think movie Alyssa's style made sense too thought, because you can see it as just another extension of her mother trying to make her "perfect." I agree that the wig fits the character in the show, but as seen by many other comments, it does come off as a bit out of place (however, props to the people who do wigs/costumes, that's a hard job), so they couldn't do that for the movie where that would definitely receive more scrutiny.
@@kl-1447 Right! Most of us got through high school with a thick brush and some hair mousse!😂Triangle head was all the rage for the awkward smart teen.
Holy shit, if this was the only time people saw Izzy sing this, I can understand how people think she's over acting. Closing night, people.
why was this so entirely captivating??? i was literally sucked into the performance oh my god...
i think i saw her in aladdin as jasmine on tour before the prom happened she was so good!!!
Damn the chills, the chills this gave me! Fantastic!
You know what my mother is like
She's a complete and total control freak
The hair has to be perfect
The As have to be straight
You have to join the debate club
On that there's no debate
You'll have Bible camp each summer
To keep you pure and clean
Endless rules apply when you're Alyssa Greene
Trophies have to be first place
Ribbons have to be blue
There's always some competition
Or hoops for jumping through
Your mom's made sacrifices
So win homecoming queen
Cause it's do or die when you're Alyssa Greene
And you wish there was a world
Where you were simply free to live
And when people criticised you
You had no more shits to give
And in this other lifetime
When you tell yourself be brave you won't cave
That's the one thing I truly crave
But your feelings have to be phony
Your weight has to be tracked
If you don't like shaking pom poms
You'd better learn to act
Just have everything perfected by the time you reach eighteen
Don't ask how or why when you're Alyssa Greene
Improve all of your strong points
And hide things that you lack
Cause mom's convinced if you're perfect
Your father will might come back
You're not yourself
You're not what she wants
You're someone in-between
Your whole life's a lie when you're Alyssa Greene
I believe you have feelings for me
But I can't do this anymore
It hurts to much
Is this-?
Are you breaking up with me?
I guess I am, yeah
Bye
You're not yourself
You're not what she wants
You're someone in-between
Lovin this song so much
I love the netflix one but when I saw this omfg I wanna watch this full show again and again
Emma’s head turn in the beginning is so awkward. I didn’t understand the choice. I wish she did more with her face instead of just standing there.
I'm not crying. *Sniff* not crying!
Did the full version of this get taken down a few days ago? I can't find it anymore
Sadly, yes. That's why I posted a clip I managed to saved.
Go to bilibili.com , the full finale show is on there
Yeah! Netflix wants you to pay that subscription fee to see their version 😅
Am I the only one watching the netflix movie first and than trying to watch pieces of the Musical?
No you're not the only one! Same here! I watched the netflix movie first, it was how I knew about 'The Prom' then I found the musical's bootleg here on youtube then I read and listened to the book and audiobook as well!
yes. im obsessed...
@@AnnangstEdits you do not have coincedently a complete Slime tutorial?
@@ms.mine_ coincidentally, yes I have.
The singing and talking is so different than the movie. I like Netflix since it’s more subtle.
This is awesome
Someone count the unintentional hair flips
She is so sad!
I like how this actress’s emotions are clearly shown in this scene, but Ariana DeBose’s voice in the movie is far superior and nicer to listen to.
Agree!
That’s the advantage of multiple takes and editing in a filmed version. I love the passion that Izzy brought to the role.
Soo.. does anyone know where I can find a full slime tutorial for this please 😭

WHO'S CHOPPING ONIONS!?!?
1:27 that vibrato tho
This is a great song! I still prefer the movie version just because it’s done with more style and it has more layers to the emotions. But this is still a fantastic performance by Izzy!
Who owns this slime tutorial?
Movie Alyssa : 👩🏾
Theatre Alyssa : 👁0👁
*not hating love both just highlighting her awesome crazy eyes
Very selfish of Emma! Alyssa really does not feel ready to face her truth, and she is pushing her to do something she does not feel yet ready! And she does not even care to try to understand Alyssa’s struggle. She just wants it all for herself, the way she wants it to be!
to be fair to emma though, she just got humiliated by everyone in her town and alyssa was on the prom committee that made it happen (even though she didn’t know about their plan). it’s reasonable that she is losing trust in her.
@@KennyBye I understand her humiliation, and it truly was wrong what they did to her! However, she’s been pushing Alyssa to come out from the very beginning, and you can see in Alyssa’s face how unprepared she is for this!
In my opinion, I dont think Emma is selfish, yes what she's asking from Alyssa is not totally cool because everyone deserves and has the right to come out when they are ready but the thing is that despite of Emma's actions here in this scene, she never did once outed Alyssa. She asked her to come out but she's giving the choice to her. She protected her as much as she could too. So yeah, for me, Emma's action was reasonable and maybe it was something they needed at that time to know what they truly need.
@@AnnangstEdits I agree that Emma did act correctly by not outing Alyssa. I have seen many cases when the person is outed by the other one. So Emma did really act correctly here. However, Emma knows who she is and what she wants, throughout the show. But Alyssa? She’s being torn apart, being pressured by both her mom and Emma. When did Emma even acknowledge Alyssa’s struggle here? She’s just like “I’m doing what I need to do for myself, whether you’re with me or not”. It is either, do it my way or we are not together. And at the end, they get back precisely because Alyssa came and supported her, defended her, stood up for her mom and came out. What did Emma do for Alyssa? Alyssa’s struggle was bigger than just putting together a prom and dancing with someone. Her struggle was actually being who she is, not being pressured by two opposing sides. If you ask me, at the end, even the mom seemed mute supportive. But Emma got back with her just because Alyssa came out. Emma was ready to leave her if things were not her way!
I don't think she is being selfish. This situation is very sucky to be in and honestly it was probably not the right time for neither of them to be together. While Alyssa deserves time to be ready to come out, it's not fair to expect Emma to be waiting for that moment. I think tearing apart was the best choice since they were not in the same place at the time. I'm glad they worked out tho, they are adorable together
Hm, not sure if I like this one as much as the movie version. I feel like this Alyssa was kind of aggressive in her delivery and sounded like she was yelling at Emma. (Maybe that’s the point though!) Regardless, Izzy is super talented and I’m sure that she’s amazing in person, but I definitely think I prefer Ariana for this song! Thanks for posting 😊
EDIT: I’ve also just realized how incredibly white this show is! Emma,, Deedee, Barry, Trent, the Jazz lady, both mean girls and both of the mean girl’s boyfriends all white. Does anyone know why that is?? The only black character in the show with lines is the principal that I know of. For a show that’s all about in inclusivity, I’m so disappointed that every single main character is white. I’m really happy that the movie made the characters more diverse.
I don’t know about Emma, or Alyssa charters. But I do know that the 4 Broadway charters where based off the 4 actors that’s play them. Those 4 actors have also been the only people to play those characters. But I do agree with you, they should have had more diversity in the cast. Also in the out of town tryout for the show in Atlanta In 2016, the actor that played the principal was also wight . So at lest although it is just barely better the Broadway production had a little more divests on the stage. I hope this helps.
I completely agree that the broadway show is a little lacking in lead diversity, but I just wanted to say that Isabelle McCalla (Alyssa Greene) and Kalyn West (Shelby, one of the mean girls) are both mixed/poc! so not all of the leads are white!
Isabella McCalla isn't white, Wtf at least research about the actors before talking about them. Also, in the atlanta version, the other mean girls' boyfriend was black but he probably ended up in another show and instead had the other actor fill his role. There were a lot of people in the original ensemble that ended up in other shows, like in mean girls for example.
Anyway, this was the closing show so Isabella was probably extra emotional.
This is great but I like the movie one
While she does a great job, I do like the movie version more. Ariana DeBose has a great voice, great expression. Both versions are great, but I do like the movie version better.
ㄴㄴ 넷플버전이 더 좋음
뮤지컬버전은 에마가 못알아주는 거에 대한 억울함 답답함 화남이 좀 더 많이 나타나는 거 같은데 이런 감정을 영화에 그대로 담기엔 서사 면에서 너무 과함..
표정을 보삼 안미친게 이상할 정도로 스트레스받아보이자너
