I've never seen this show live...I missed out when it came to Toronto 😭. So idk how anything is presented on stage. I do so love this song's energy, tho! It's giving me a Fosse--jazz-hands vibe!
I'll admit, If Roald Dahl didn't specify this cake being it's own creation in his Revolting Recipes book(www.roalddahlfans.com/dahls-work/books/roald-dahls-revolting-recipes/bruce-bogtrotters-cake/), wouldn't that line be even more hilarious if you imagine the cake actually being "Devil's Food Cake"?! XD
(For learning the song) A single slice Or even two, Bruce, Might've been nice But even you, Bruce, Have to admit Between you and it There's not a lot of difference in size. He can't! He surely can't!

1:40 is what killed this version for me. This is my favorite song from the musical, and I was really hoping the Broadway version wouldn't stray too far from the original, but that disgusting, off-key chord completely ruined it. I know why they did it, but they sacrificed awesome music that already did its job perfectly for a stupid effect of emotion that simply distracts the listener from the song.
Kelly Schweizer The original song, sure. This version of it just isn't as good. There are good parts, but if I'd only ever heard this one, I wouldn't like it as much.
its not offkey, its just. a rlly out of place harmony that doesnt rlly work at that point of the song. there wasn't rlly a need for it tbh. it sucks too bc i do like the instrumental fr this one better tho (the broadway version just has a better orchestra but thts p much it..)
I think it sounds fine, at least with what orchestra they had to work with. I think it was sort of a choice to make the song sound more... sinister i guess? I don't know. I don't think it sounds terrible. I really just don't have an opinion on it. But I do like the actual vocals better in this version.
It's sounds amazing, just because it "ruined" the song for you, doesn't mean the whole song is ruined. As my mom likes to say IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING NICE, DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.
SpongeBob: Bruce can’t eat the whole entire cake at one time! Squidward: What’s gonna happen, is he gonna blow up? SpongeBob: No, worse! It’ll go right to his thighs! Squidward: His thighs?! SpongeBob: And then he’ll blow up!
i don’t know why but i’m obsessed with 1:37-1:39, the spilt between “look at him go” and “i can’t watch” idk i just think it sounds cool 😭
Just finished my last show for this yesterday- cried my eyes out. Tis definitely one of my favorites shows I’ve ever participated in
The energy in this song is amazinggggggg!! I love this song

Thank you so much! I will be lavender in the Matilda play at my theater!
Did I hear a Doctor Who reference? I could have sworn they said something about the Tardis...
yes! "or maybe your largeness is like a tardis, considerably roomier inside"

I'm playing Bruce!!!
(For learning the song)
A single slice
Or even two, Bruce,
Might've been nice
But even you, Bruce,
Have to admit
Between you and it
There's not a lot of difference in size.
He can't!
He surely can't! He surely can't!
he might explode!
hes going to blow! Make him stop!
I can't watch!
I think in effect
This must confirm, Bruce,
What we all suspected -
You have a worm, Bruce,
Or maybe your largeness
Is a bit like the Tardis:
Considerably roomier inside.
He can't!
He surely can't! He surely can't!
B-R-O-O-C-E
Bruce!
You'll never again be subject to abuse
For your immense caboose,
She'll call a truce, Bruce
With every swallow you are
Tightening the noose.
We never thought it was possible
But here it is coming true:
We can have our cake and eat it too.
The time has come to put that tumbly tum to use,
No excuse, Bruce,
Let out your belt, I think you'll want your trousers loose.
Ohhh stuff it in!
You're almost finished!
You'll fit it in!
Whatever you do just don't give in!
Don't let her win!
Come on Bruce, be our hero,
Cover your self in chocolate glory ...
KIDS
ohhhhhhh Bruce!
You'll never again be subject to abuse
For your immense carboose,
She'll call a truce, Bruce.
Just one more bite and you'll
Completely cooked her goose.
We never thought it was possible
But here it is coming true:
We can have our cake and eat it ...
ahh ahh ahh ahh ...

The way she speaks made me and my friends laugh
a pact with satan yes

I know why they did it, but they sacrificed awesome music that already did its job perfectly for a stupid effect of emotion that simply distracts the listener from the song.
Plus, they cut like... all the build-up. Complete waste of Minchin's awesome lyricism.

Why is this version so much worse?
FatCat808 probably because they aren’t dancing, and you don’t have the ambiance of the stage echo either. but i still like this version a lot :)
I was on about the composition, but I think I've come around to it in these last two months.
Because it's American- no hate :)
@@makenziekirby3769 “no hate” doesn’t make it any better 💀
@@verityjude2269 well it wasn’t written for an american accent, i’m not hating on the accent itself
pov: practicing for the show
1:05
The lyrics giving me second hand embarrassment… and I have to sing it 😭
I have to sing it too 😅
I'm in this musical so thank you for this being on UA-cam!:)
I’m playing bruce

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
I'm playing bruce in the show at school.

@@lilreke1835 yeah.
There’s no excuse, Bruce
SAME!!!
SHE IS GOING CRAZY!
3:09
SpongeBob: Bruce can’t eat the whole entire cake at one time!
Squidward: What’s gonna happen, is he gonna blow up?
SpongeBob: No, worse! It’ll go right to his thighs!
Squidward: His thighs?!
SpongeBob: And then he’ll blow up!
