You can tell how much JD has truly lost it here. Veronica, who he believes to be dead, has come back to life and he doesn’t even seem to be surprised. He’s become 100% emotionally detatched from everyone and everything.
Well, not nothing. Doing the show 8 times a week for so long strained her voice so much that it's actually changed a little. She's still phenomenol though.
Veronica: *comes to school after faking suicide* Mrs. Fleming: god dammit your alive. I went through all that work to give you a nice tribute and your alive. :(
@Christopher Lew sameee i noticed that and it bothered me; i forgot about it bc now i normally listen to it without lyrics since ik the words now but u reminded me again so it’s gonna start bugging me again T^T
JD in Meant to be Yours: *basically tells Veronica that she’s everything to him* JD in Dead Girl Walking Reprise: *gives Veronica up for dynamite without hesitation*
He was basically lying through the whole musical to get at least someone on his side, you can tell because until she says "make this whole disappear" in dead girl walking he's not particularly interested in her :/ it's really sad
Honestly this whole situation was elaborated on more in the movie, during the MTBY scene JD is actually coming to kill her- really scary scene, too. Love the acting
I love the beat in the background during the part when JD and Veronica are talking before the "I wish your mom had been a little stronger" because it sounds like a timer, partly, but it also sounds like a heartbeat that's steadily getting faster and it's just this amazing, subtle effect.
What gets me about this is that Veronica was totally prepared to die, both her and JD. "Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walking" really hits me, because in the first Dead Girl Walking, she was using the term to refer to how she was going to be socially dead in a couple hours. Now, she's talking about how she both faked her death, and she plans to die anyway, if it means she gets rid of JD and what they've both done.
bumbleguts Yes, that's what I love so much about this reprise. Veronica is determined to right her wrongs, and will gladly sacrifice herself if it means that the entire school doesn't die at the hands of her psychotic ex-boyfriend.
When school starts up ima be a freshman and if someone makes me mad ima say this to them and then I'm most likely gonna get suspended because people think I'm gonna shoot up the school To normal people in my school, I am basically the JD of the school. I mean, one time someone actually thought I was gonna shoot up the school because they were making fun of me. And so I said, I was bout to make Columbine look like a fucking joke. Then they all got scared. So... #LivingtheJDlife
Richmybestbio Sofightme You have got to be a troll. Bragging about being an edgy hormonal fetus who thinks violence is for cool kids™️. If you’re not kidding then hopefully this phase will pass soon cause oof
It actually discusses the different view points between JD and Veronica. Veronica knew Heather and with all her sinful deeds (sex before marriage, lying, etc.) she thought that even if she was murdered that she'll end up in Hell anyways. JD on the other hand believed that Heather would go to heaven because, as stated in the Bible from what I remember, that all murdered people would end up in Heaven because its a life that was tragically taken from them. It shows how different both Veronica and JD think about how the afterlife works
Just imagine Veronica's mom after this. "OH MY GOD MY DAUGHTER IS DEAD!" *Veronica gets off the Noose and runs past* "Bye Mom, gotta go save the school!"
"I wish you'd come with me!" "I wish I had more TNT." If feel like this line captures why the two of them cannot work together. J.D. is unable to hear Veronica's pleas for him to stop.
Well, they could’ve worked. But JD’s PTSD from his mom had reached his head and drove him to insanity. If he had gone to a therapist or if people heard him out more, they would’ve gotten along well.
But on a serious note, he was always damaged(no pun intended) from his upbringing and his parents divorce. Veronica's love was just the fuel to the fire inside that already burning.
I just love the “I wish grown ups understood” part because it is so true. Adults want to help so much but sometimes it feels like they never understand no matter how much they try
I always thought, he said that the slushie keeps him calm and after that he isn't seen with a slushie again im the movie or musical. And after he's gets crazier and crazier.
Can we talk about how J.D. was going to set off the bomb while inside the school? This directly contrasts how in “Meant To Be Yours,” he says that he and Veronica would be watching the school explode, implying from a safe distance. Now that Veronica was supposedly gone, J.D. was fully planning to just blow up the school from the inside, killing everyone, as well as himself. This really shows that Veronica was honestly the last thing keeping J.D. from plunging into full insanity, and now that she’s gone, he has absolutely no restraint whatsoever and no regard for anyone, not even himself.
the line "i wish i had more TNT" scares the shit out of me bc not only does it not sound like the J.D. we met earlier in the show but it doesnt sound like ryan and idk why but it really freaks me out.
in the London musical, after veronica {carrie hope fletcher} says "I wish your mom had been a little stronger", Jamie muscato who plays jd says "don't talk about my mom" and I think its really beautiful that hes so protective over his mom
Beginning of the musical: "Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze" Me, after listening to this musical 29 times: "Oh boy you just might"
1:09 this note with the “heyo westerburg” in the background is chilling, because you have this whole chorus of people excited and happy, but veronica is telling a completely different story. Horrifying and beautiful.
cookie ! We the students of westenberg high will die our burnt bodies may finally get through to you the society turns out slaves and blanks no thank signed the students of westenberg high goodbye
@@xcxrpsi3209 I'm the JD of my friend group and everyone that knows me in school, think that I'm honest to God, gonna blow up the school are shoot it up so when I start freshman year this year, if someone pisses me off, I'm gonna start chanting that along with the quote JD said " People are going to see the ashes of westerburg high school and they're gonna think there's a school that self destructed not because society didn't care, but because that school was society" then I'm most likely gonna get suspended from school.
"I wish your mom had been a little stronger. I wish she stayed around a little longer. I wish your dad were good! I wish grown ups understood! I wish we met before they convinced you life is war!" Is my favorite part!
amyisaway I imagine a version where he just yells "VERONICA!! I'm so glad you're okay!" Then he DoEsNt FrEaKiNg DiE and Veronica takes him to therapy and shit so he's NOT a psychopath anymore and they can be 17
The way he says "I wish I had more TNT" is amazing because it shows how angry and psycho he was and how no matter what Veronica said she couldn't save him
Is nobody gonna comment on how she has such a strong voice like when she was singing no one hear deserves to die expect for me and the monster i created Yeah Yeah
I played Veronica in my school's version of this musical and this song was one of the best and most intense reprises I've ever had to perform, and I do not regret doing it. I could actually feel how Veronica felt at that moment. Theatre is truly magical.
Woah, your SCHOOL did this musical? Seems like that'd probably upset parents lol. For various reasons. Sounds cool though! Did you guys cut out some stuff or no...?
well we had to tone it down t for dead girl walking. Like i didnt take my clothes off and it was just making out alot for that number. But everything else was the same, curse words and all.
Thank youu! And hey you could always get a couple of pals and do it at someones house and invite family and friends. The script is available online. And costumes arent hard to make.
I know exactly how you feel 😅 Singing this reprise in local theater as our Veronica got me so pumped and I've never felt more in character during theater than I have in this musical!! (haha I'm late to the party Ik cx)
Right?! JD's monologue was so intense. He was spitting all over the place and veins were popping out, it was fantastic. By far one of my favorite scenes in the show.
ok but can we talk about A - that fucking lit ass high note on "cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl.... walking" B - the added meaning that is now there in this reprise because now she is LITERALLY a dead girl walking. since everyone thought she killed herself, she is now literally a walking dead body, and thus, a dead girl walking, now literal and not metaphorical. like, fuck, that is what a reprise should be man.
It also has the meaning of she is ready to actually die, for real this time, she is fully prepared to sacrifice herself. So i guess its got a triple meaning, 100% agree with this is what a reprise should be
When listening to the Heathers soundtrack, I usually picture my own high school. We have a pep rally this Friday. Now I'm paranoid that a senior in a trenchcoat is going to blow up the school.
This musical is full of so much passion. As a person who works on a lot of shows it's very easy to lose the emotion in the lines and songs as you repeat them over and over and over. But this just sounds like raw human at it's finest. I love it.
funny thing, when I first saw the entire musical, it was on my phone and my school was put on lockdown the exact same day for finding a student outside the school, still on school grounds, with a gun. I don't know what he looked like, but now I will just picture him as JD.
The first time I listened to it we were on lockdown because someone out side had a gun and was threatening to shoot up the school then himself. And then a different person threatened to blow up the school. So I feel the same.
So our field hockey captain has the last name westerberg, and one of my greatest achievements in life is teaching the chant part of this song to the other players because nothing quite terrifies the other team like everyone howling "HERE COMES WESTERBERG COMING TO PUT YOU IN THE GROUND"
I played JD once, when you have to screw the person playing Veronica in the original version of this song, omg I was laughing so hard every time we practiced. It was really uncofortable
My favorite lines in this one song are: "Heads up J.D., I'm a dead girl walking." "It's one more dance and then farewell." "Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walking." "I wish your mom had been a little stronger." "I wish she stayed a little longer." "I wish your dad were good!I wish grown ups understood! I wish we met before they convinced you life was war!"
At least "Or Naw" didn't Start playing on a playlist you were listening to while sleeping came on and your step brother walks in your room to tell you good night and then sees that and completely judges you for it even though you were asleep and you didn't know why that song was on (Story of my life)
I wish your dad was good! I wish grown ups understood! I wish we met before! They convinced you life is war! I wish you'd come with me! I wish that you could see! I wish for everything we can be! I wish they can live! I wish you knew what I could give! Just please disarm the bomb! And we could just be gone! So I wish you would come with me! And please let's just leave the TNT.
Is Mayonnaise An Instrument? In some of the plays he says "and here i thought you lost your taste in faking suicide" but in other plays he says something else
I love how the first Dead Girl Walking, Veronica seemed in power but really she was vulnerable and being manipulated. In the reprise, she took her power back and rose from the ashes.
Veronica could have said to Mrs. Fleming : "There's a bomb under the Gym and I have to stop it, but if I can't, unless you wanna die, get the hell out of this school." Or is it too inconvenient for the moment?
Its because Veronica has NO trust for grown-ups at all, including Mrs. Fleming. Especially how she tried to use Mac mental health for her own gain. She feared if she told her, she would have made things worse for J.D and the others.
What I love is how it showcases the American public school system "Jason Dean told me you just committed suicide.... and I'd thrown together a lovely tribute, especially on such short notice...." *half the students want to murder their classmates *half are suicidal *literally every student has deep philosophical thoughts ("there's a school that self destructed not because society doesn't care, but because that school WAS SOCIETY") but 99% of the time they're too exhausted/stressed/popular/a mixture of the three to do anything about it *cussing *everyone knows how to make bombs for literally no fucking reason, and the only people who don't are the ones who threaten to use them???? *literally everyone has lost their virginity by freshman year and if you haven't meh no one gives a fuck unless you have like six boyfriends at once and are fucking all of them Like this song by its lonesome explains the entire fucking school system.
It's not that everyone knows how to build a bomb, JD knew how to build it because his dad was destroying buildings for a living, and being the bad parent that he is, he showed JD how to build one OR JD could've found a leftover bomb from his dad (I can't remember if his dad was alive or not)
It doesn't tell the whole story I don't think there's anything in the musical about the large amount of misinformation and the sheer amount of time wasted on useless shit
I love how Miss Fleming is like annoyed that Veronica's alive... it's like I just went through all this effort to make you a tribute and you're alive? Gah. Aha I love this musical so much and am so sad it closed. I haven't seen it, but love all the music, and was wondering why is JD so calm? Like didn't he think his girlfriend was dead and suddenly she shows up and he's like oh hey waddup?
I have Hamilton and Heathers on my music app in my phone. One day, I put my music on shuffle and this song played first. Right after the gunshot, I shit you not, My Shot started playing. It was the most hilarious thing shuffle has ever done.
Julianne Insertlastnamehere I don't know why your comment is marked as spam, but my phone has done that, too. As well as playing Dear Theodosia and then Stay Alive (Reprise). Sigh... ;-;
"There's a school that destructed not because society didn't care, but because that school Was Society" and "I wish I met you before they convinced you life is war" are probs my two favorite lines in the musical. They're just so powerful
i'm not saying it was entirely his fault, but he did kill 3 people and planned to kill many more, so i'm not sure if saying he isn't bad is entirely accurate
Having mental health issues isn’t and shouldn’t be an excuse to do bad things He does have a point that society could be better, but his solution isn’t okay
Supersage 171 yea, his solution is messed up. Ik he rrly hates society and all and have mental issues, but all the shits he has done is bullshit. But honestly JD is still bae for me tho. I wish Veronica could just tell him that they can just drink slushies together and have a happy life (didn't work on "Seventeen" tho). But that's how it is
@@inesmagalhaes8284 Don't get me wrong. I love JD but he definitely is bad. Not saying that he isn't a complex character and I too find his character tragic. But he IS bad. Having a traumatized past sucks and is something I'll never understand, but it doesn't give someone an excuse for the things JD does. Many people have dead parents and have bad parents but they dont always resort to killing innocent people. JD's a great character. But I think it can be dangerous if we label him as "not bad"
0:36 Ya'll telling me we just gonna ignore that beautiful high note Veronica hits? It gives me the chills! I love this line, it highlights perfectly how high-running her emotions are and how determined she to stop JD as she walks onwards to face off with him one last time, knowing full well how dangerous it would and yet still standing her ground and striding onwards, completely undeterred, willing to get hurt and go down as long as it meant she would be bringing JD down with her ("cheek-to-cheek in hell" indeed). It goes to show how brave and strong Veronica is, and it's one of the things I absolutely love about her ^^
I love how Ms. Flemming sounds slightly disappointed to see Veronica alive.
"Oh, you're alive? that's too bad..."
- what ms.Flemming was thinking probably
LOLLL
Hello People IKR!

I love how unconcerned Jason Dean is about Veronica dying then coming back to life in the matter of two songs.

You can tell how much JD has truly lost it here. Veronica, who he believes to be dead, has come back to life and he doesn’t even seem to be surprised. He’s become 100% emotionally detatched from everyone and everything.

Richmybestbio Sofightme y’all are going to be reported to police if you keep talking about shootings as something lighthearted or funny. It’s not.
interviewer: what are your hobbies
me: i can sing six parts of any musical in all the characters respective voices
interviewer: holy shit you're hired
Me:* starts singing "fight for me" *
**starts singing if you where were all a little bit racist Avenue Q**
Same
Me: *sings Ex-Wives bc six parts*
ME LOL! Gotta thank acting and singing lessons lol
"I wish your mom had been a little stronger. I wish she stayed around a little longer. I wish your dad were good! I wish grown ups understood! I wish we met before they convinced you life is war!" Is my favorite part!
such a powerful part of the song omg
Gabe R. SAAAAAME
Gabe R. Yeah and I defiantley agree with The grown up part, I'm sure every kid and teen does.
Gabe R. Yes!!!! But I also like "I wish I had more TNT!"
Gabe R. same! What other songs have that like, up and down thing AHHH
0:36
"Cheek to Cheek in hell" is probably my favorite line in the song. Its just so good
ikr
Mine is "heads up JD" idek why I think I just liked it ;-;
i love how unconcerned JD is that his girlfriend/partner in crime just resurrected herself
amyisaway I imagine a version where he just yells "VERONICA!! I'm so glad you're okay!" Then he DoEsNt FrEaKiNg DiE and Veronica takes him to therapy and shit so he's NOT a psychopath anymore and they can be 17
"I knew that noose was too loose."
I prefer that ending
Cause he was totally off his rocker by this point.
In the musical he was like "I guess you've had your fun with fake suicides" and then continued with his line for the song
The emotion you can head in Barrett's voice in 'I wish you'd come with me' is just overwhelming
The way he says "I wish I had more TNT" is amazing because it shows how angry and psycho he was and how no matter what Veronica said she couldn't save him
Is nobody gonna comment on how she has such a strong voice like when she was singing no one hear deserves to die expect for me and the monster i created Yeah Yeah
Am I the only one that loves the way she says "got no time to talk, I'm a dead girl walking" to mrs Fleming?
Madeleine Mahan me
its hilarious because it would've been faster to say "JD has a bomb"
Madeleine Mahan your not alone
no omg
right when I saw this comment the line was on
"I'd hardly call this a bomb."
*seinfeld theme plays*
Stop I actually love that
I played Veronica in my school's version of this musical and this song was one of the best and most intense reprises I've ever had to perform, and I do not regret doing it. I could actually feel how Veronica felt at that moment. Theatre is truly magical.
Woah, your SCHOOL did this musical? Seems like that'd probably upset parents lol. For various reasons. Sounds cool though! Did you guys cut out some stuff or no...?
well we had to tone it down t for dead girl walking. Like i didnt take my clothes off and it was just making out alot for that number. But everything else was the same, curse words and all.
t0tally isa Wow, my school'd never do Heathers haha. I do go to a pretty small one tho. Glad you had fun! :D
Thank youu! And hey you could always get a couple of pals and do it at someones house and invite family and friends. The script is available online. And costumes arent hard to make.
I know exactly how you feel 😅 Singing this reprise in local theater as our Veronica got me so pumped and I've never felt more in character during theater than I have in this musical!!
(haha I'm late to the party Ik cx)
Dead girl walking: LETS MAKE THIS WORLD DISAPPEAR
JD: oh wait that’s a good idea.....
Dead girl walking reprise: WAIT NO I DIDNT MEAN IT!!!
This is such an underrated musical i can't believe i only just discovered it this week omg
Kelsey Cooke I knew about it but yesterday was the first time I listened to it
Same tho, I really love it even my musical friend didn't know about it qwq
Kelsey Cooke same??? oh my god
Kelsey Cooke Same I've just now seen it but it's so good!
Kelsey Cooke same
Best reprise ever ever...
Right?! JD's monologue was so intense. He was spitting all over the place and veins were popping out, it was fantastic. By far one of my favorite scenes in the show.
Georgie Suffell and story of tonight reprise
Elkiey BOI 😭😡
Elkiey 😭😭
Elkiey It's not that you made me hate you 😂 you made me cry 😞😂
ok but can we talk about
A - that fucking lit ass high note on "cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl.... walking"
B - the added meaning that is now there in this reprise because now she is LITERALLY a dead girl walking. since everyone thought she killed herself, she is now literally a walking dead body, and thus, a dead girl walking, now literal and not metaphorical.
like, fuck, that is what a reprise should be man.
It also has the meaning of she is ready to actually die, for real this time, she is fully prepared to sacrifice herself. So i guess its got a triple meaning, 100% agree with this is what a reprise should be
I can hit note A (not very well it sounds more like screaming)
Me: *hums this in class*
Teacher: what are you humming
Me:... You don't wanna know
Oh my God YES XD
the theatre kid version of pumped up kicks
Me with Dead Girl Walking-
Got no time to HUM, I'm dead girl walking!
at least you werent humming the non reprise
When listening to the Heathers soundtrack, I usually picture my own high school. We have a pep rally this Friday. Now I'm paranoid that a senior in a trenchcoat is going to blow up the school.
PirateUnicorn you better look for the boiler room dude
Find the boiler room asap
Arthur? is that you?
You mean my profile picture? Yeah, lol. Thanks for being the 2nd person to notice in the 3 years I've had this account xD
+PirateUnicorn your welcome XD
This musical is full of so much passion.
As a person who works on a lot of shows it's very easy to lose the emotion in the lines and songs as you repeat them over and over and over.
But this just sounds like raw human at it's finest.
I love it.
"His solution is a lie. No one here deserves to die, except for me and the monster I've created!! Yeah, yeah!" My favorite part, personally.
"I wish I had more TNT."
Me: **casually thinking about Minecraft**
I thought of angry birds lmao
You’ll glitch the server tho! /s
@@Jailson_rah Was that neccesary
Same
what happens if heathers was in minecraft
has jd ever chilled in his life can he please calm down for 0.2 seconds
Brynn Gabriel well he does freeze his brain, swim in ice, gets lost in the pain
I guess he needs to be more chill
Salty Elephant y’all know how to sneak in reference into literally everything and I love it dlfjgldjgkd
I suppose maybe he should take a break. Maybe take the money I hid under his mattress. I left a note I do not understand how he hasn't found it yet.
Salty Elephant That'll take some reinvention.
i HAD THE HEATHERS SOUNDTRACK ON SHUFFLE THIS STARTED PLAYING AFTER SEVENTEEN IM DYING
not dying as much as Jd, but still dying
Nooo oof
Top soon
I was on shuffle and it played Dead girl walking after seventeen so it sounded like Veronica said “you’re the one I choose” and then They fucked
@@mamie-lx8pd imagine how differently the musical would go if they just fucked directly after seventeen
if dying inside counts, i died before this started
funny thing, when I first saw the entire musical, it was on my phone and my school was put on lockdown the exact same day for finding a student outside the school, still on school grounds, with a gun. I don't know what he looked like, but now I will just picture him as JD.
The Last Rockwell i feel awful becuase i laughed at the end of your comment
That's... a bit worrying
That..... is seriously fucked up.
He was just gonna blow him self up or go shoot some westingburgs no need to worry
(But seriously you should be worrying)
The first time I listened to it we were on lockdown because someone out side had a gun and was threatening to shoot up the school then himself. And then a different person threatened to blow up the school. So I feel the same.
HEYO WESTERBERG TELL ME, WHAT’S THAT SOUND?
I found the source of the ticking! It’s a pipe bomb!
Uahahaha... Jason Dean, Jason Dean, oooh Jason Jason Jason, Jason Dean!
Puppet Ron whatcha doing here?
Hi puppet Ron
So our field hockey captain has the last name westerberg, and one of my greatest achievements in life is teaching the chant part of this song to the other players because nothing quite terrifies the other team like everyone howling "HERE COMES WESTERBERG COMING TO PUT YOU IN THE GROUND"
+SoNowWhat01 THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS EVER
BEAUTY
THIS IS GREAT
Westerberg will knock you out and send you straight to hell
that is so cool
the heyo westerburg gets me so hype
Essentially that’s the point of the chant, so it’s not surprising!
"Before they convinced you life is war" always gets me for some reason ;-;
I love how monotonous Veronica is when asking what's under the gym, especially on the "That's it" line. Gets me every time
I've been SEARCHING for someone talking about it!! "Thats it. 🤖"
Best reprise ever, I can't get over it would kill to play Veronica
Method acting..
+Phoebe Fitzgerald OMG
Same though.
I played JD once, when you have to screw the person playing Veronica in the original version of this song, omg I was laughing so hard every time we practiced. It was really uncofortable
Wow. Must've been really embarrassing for the both of you.
* silent clap *
My favorite lines in this one song are:
"Heads up J.D., I'm a dead girl walking."
"It's one more dance and then farewell."
"Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walking."
"I wish your mom had been a little stronger."
"I wish she stayed a little longer."
"I wish your dad were good!I wish grown ups understood! I wish we met before they convinced you life was war!"
Veronica:"I wish your mom was a little stronger"
Me: Oh shiz, she brought out the "Yo Momma" jokes
,,,,that isn’t a yo momma joke ??????
@@cattus7034 you missed the joke
Original: Make this whole town disapear
Reprise: wait.....NO NONONONONONONO
IAD: I SAID NO
I love the piano beat during the "I wish your mom had been a little stronger etc" tbh
Love how she's like "I WISH YOUD COME WITH ME" and he's just like -_- I wish I had more tnt
ikr xD
+AlexisTheKiller He actually screams it in the performance.
+AlexisTheKiller i love that part to
you have 321 likes and i want to like this but then i'd ruin it
Jay Grgich h
I love how aggressively she says the second "yeah"
sweetie buttons same
0:56 I’m absolutely in love with veronica’s voice, especially in these couple of lines, they’re just so beautiful
tbh I like this better than the first one beCAUSE I CANT LISTEN TO THE FIRST ONE WITHOUT PUTTING THE VOLUME IN THE LOWEST SETTING
At least "Or Naw" didn't Start playing on a playlist you were listening to while sleeping came on and your step brother walks in your room to tell you good night and then sees that and completely judges you for it even though you were asleep and you didn't know why that song was on
(Story of my life)
@@lovesick_insanity dude same (even with the step brother part)
Or your native language isnt English and your parents have clearly no idea what this song is about XD
my sister bought me mu own headphones
@@weronikaschuyler5096 yup
I wish your dad was good!
I wish grown ups understood!
I wish we met before!
They convinced you life is war!
I wish you'd come with me!
I wish that you could see!
I wish for everything we can be!
I wish they can live!
I wish you knew what I could give!
Just please disarm the bomb!
And we could just be gone!
So I wish you would come with me!
And please let's just leave the TNT.
I'M A YEAR LATE BUT OH MY GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
omgilysm
Someone needs to make a song like this and replace this one with it. I NEED A HAPPY ENDING
This should've been part of the song
@@everothbaum1634 Are there any happy endings?
Why is JD not shocked by the fact that she is alive?
Is Mayonnaise An Instrument? In some of the plays he says "and here i thought you lost your taste in faking suicide" but in other plays he says something else
in the movie he says "i knew the noose was too loose"
Their love is god so she just ressurected
@@jaguanana2349 "I knew the loose was too noose. I- I mean the noose was too loose."
@@mintteaandhoney veronica just immediately starts shooting him
I love how the first Dead Girl Walking, Veronica seemed in power but really she was vulnerable and being manipulated. In the reprise, she took her power back and rose from the ashes.
my fav part is where shes like
"cheek to cheek in hELL with a dead giiiiiirll, waalkiiin"
Same
aoife YESSSS Same
First time I watched the musical I almost didn't finish it because I spent all my time replaying that part
YES saaaame! She's so talented uGh
aoife YASSS
Literally her voice sounds so flawless for Veronica. It's sarcastic teenager but strong and grown up as well. GAH this show is flawless.
Mrs.Fleming: Veronica! Jason Dean told us you just committed suicide!
Veronica: I'm a dead girl walking
was...that a... joke?
Ikr
I didn’t even notice that lol
Veronica could have said to Mrs. Fleming :
"There's a bomb under the Gym and I have to stop it, but if I can't, unless you wanna die, get the hell out of this school."
Or is it too inconvenient for the moment?
Atlas Stormsson well if she’s trying to save him then she can’t if she’s trying to save the school then she should
Its because Veronica has NO trust for grown-ups at all, including Mrs. Fleming. Especially how she tried to use Mac mental health for her own gain. She feared if she told her, she would have made things worse for J.D and the others.
I mean, hey. She's got no time to talk.
"I wish you'd come with me!"
Well, Veronica, he kinda already did.
I’M SCREAMINF
O MY
😂😂😂😂
(Insert Lenny face here)
*STOP*
this song makes me wanna fight someone
Same - fight me?
+Annika P. hahahaha
Annika P. meet me in the pit, scrublord (ง •̀_•́)ง
same tbh
+Desiree Petal *grabs camera to record the fight* LET'S DO THIIIIS!
What I love is how it showcases the American public school system
"Jason Dean told me you just committed suicide.... and I'd thrown together a lovely tribute, especially on such short notice...."
*half the students want to murder their classmates
*half are suicidal
*literally every student has deep philosophical thoughts ("there's a school that self destructed not because society doesn't care, but because that school WAS SOCIETY") but 99% of the time they're too exhausted/stressed/popular/a mixture of the three to do anything about it
*cussing
*everyone knows how to make bombs for literally no fucking reason, and the only people who don't are the ones who threaten to use them????
*literally everyone has lost their virginity by freshman year and if you haven't meh no one gives a fuck unless you have like six boyfriends at once and are fucking all of them
Like this song by its lonesome explains the entire fucking school system.
It's not that everyone knows how to build a bomb, JD knew how to build it because his dad was destroying buildings for a living, and being the bad parent that he is, he showed JD how to build one OR JD could've found a leftover bomb from his dad
(I can't remember if his dad was alive or not)
Yo. That hit hard
@@B0K0691 he was. In the movie, JD built it using blueprints, most likely his dad's.
Good thing I live in Britain 🇬🇧
It doesn't tell the whole story I don't think there's anything in the musical about the large amount of misinformation and the sheer amount of time wasted on useless shit
Veronica; “Make this whole town disappear.”
JD; *tries*
Veronica; wAIT-
I love how Miss Fleming is like annoyed that Veronica's alive... it's like I just went through all this effort to make you a tribute and you're alive? Gah. Aha I love this musical so much and am so sad it closed. I haven't seen it, but love all the music, and was wondering why is JD so calm? Like didn't he think his girlfriend was dead and suddenly she shows up and he's like oh hey waddup?
Well, in the movie he mentions how he thought the noose was too loose, so it could be something like that.
i always get a tingly feeling when i hear her say her i wish ur mom had been a little stronger part... UGH i love it so much
I have Hamilton and Heathers on my music app in my phone. One day, I put my music on shuffle and this song played first. Right after the gunshot, I shit you not, My Shot started playing. It was the most hilarious thing shuffle has ever done.
P. Fox thats the greatest thing ive ever read
Julianne Insertlastnamehere I don't know why your comment is marked as spam, but my phone has done that, too. As well as playing Dear Theodosia and then Stay Alive (Reprise). Sigh... ;-;
P. Fox
*insert sympathetic shoulder pat here*
Julianne Insertlastnamehere Thank ;-;
I have them both on my phone too, and whenever someone wants to look at the music on my phone I'm like NOPE NOPE NOPE
"There's a school that destructed not because society didn't care, but because that school Was Society" and "I wish I met you before they convinced you life is war" are probs my two favorite lines in the musical. They're just so powerful
Sure JD is bad and all but he does have a good point about society
Ajar Raccoon JD isn't bad!He is just deeply mentally disturbed due to a parent's death and poor parenting from the remaining parent.
i'm not saying it was entirely his fault, but he did kill 3 people and planned to kill many more, so i'm not sure if saying he isn't bad is entirely accurate
Having mental health issues isn’t and shouldn’t be an excuse to do bad things
He does have a point that society could be better, but his solution isn’t okay
Supersage 171 yea, his solution is messed up. Ik he rrly hates society and all and have mental issues, but all the shits he has done is bullshit. But honestly JD is still bae for me tho. I wish Veronica could just tell him that they can just drink slushies together and have a happy life (didn't work on "Seventeen" tho). But that's how it is
@@inesmagalhaes8284 Don't get me wrong. I love JD but he definitely is bad. Not saying that he isn't a complex character and I too find his character tragic. But he IS bad. Having a traumatized past sucks and is something I'll never understand, but it doesn't give someone an excuse for the things JD does. Many people have dead parents and have bad parents but they dont always resort to killing innocent people. JD's a great character. But I think it can be dangerous if we label him as "not bad"
"...will send you straight to-"
*Gunshot*
*Veronica*: "JD, DO YOU YIELD?"
*M E*
zoie HOLY FUCK I LOVE IT
JD:"YOU SHOT ME IN THE SIDE YES I YIELD!"
Veronica:"I'm satisfied"
+Daci OMG WHY
I love cracking my voice at 2:17 when Veronica says "They convinced you life is war!"
Drennon Poe I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO NOTICE THAT!!!!
😭
The complete contrast in tone from the original version is what I probably love the most about this reprise.
Same
this song makes me feel like a badass, whenever i listen to it. so much better than the other dead girl walking.
alex rollins same
Dead girl walking: f*k me JD
Dead girl walking reprise: f*k you JD
I decided I must ride you till I break you.
The first time I heard this I thought she said "Step away from the bong"
Aiyana Land lol
step away from the dong 🌚
Aiyana Land is it sad how I still hear that even tho I know its bomb
SlimeInArt I ALMOST SPIT OUT MY SPRITE OH MY GOD THAT'S BEAUTIFUL
Aiyana Land This little thing? I'd hardly call it a bong.
0:36 Ya'll telling me we just gonna ignore that beautiful high note Veronica hits? It gives me the chills! I love this line, it highlights perfectly how high-running her emotions are and how determined she to stop JD as she walks onwards to face off with him one last time, knowing full well how dangerous it would and yet still standing her ground and striding onwards, completely undeterred, willing to get hurt and go down as long as it meant she would be bringing JD down with her ("cheek-to-cheek in hell" indeed). It goes to show how brave and strong Veronica is, and it's one of the things I absolutely love about her ^^
Xena Sorceress It’s my favorite line in the whole musical
i love her sm
2:16 Omg who else noticed the break in her voice?? It gave me shivers! She sounds like she's about to cry! D:
