well, I guess this is it, now we can make sure Dave Malloy is not gonna be a normal artist ever, it always has to be something new and crazy, Rachmaninoff's therapy sessions, War & Peace in form of an Electronic Opera, crazy song cycles about time travel and ghosts, Retelling of Beowulf's Epic or something like this, an acapella musical(which I don't think there was anything like this in Broadway) about technology addiction... god bless Dave Malloy
there was an a capella musical, but it wasn’t about internet addiction and i don’t think it did too well on broadway, but i don’t know too much about it- i believe it was called ‘in transit’? but dave malloy has definitely cemented himself as one of the best creators of theater, he’s insane
@@mehrider7041 mhm yeah like they said "In Transit"!!! Yeah, it didn't really do well, and I get why (not hating on it though), but it was good enough to make it to Broadway so yeah! Also it had Margo Seibert who is also in Octet! (And yes I agree Dave is just incredible)
@@musicprincess9747 Yeah the story of IT was pretty comfortable, and the songs were catching without getting stuck. It had some pretty great ideas that even 8 doesn't go with, like beatboxing, but if anything it deserves any boost it can get up under the success of Octet
This is an example of why Dave Malloy is my current favorite in the creative musical world. Constantly new and refreshing, mixing the classical with the contemporary to create a new era entirely. That’s talent, that’s pushing stale boundaries. It’s touching really.
me: i hate “we live in a society” media !! it’s lazy and dumb and often inaccurate ugh ok boomer dave malloy: releases this me: the pale glow flattening our heartbeats, a thesis on how damaging the dependency on technology is to our and many generations chapter one technology is def
god me too!! most of "technology is actually bad and evil" just boils down to phone bad book good, but i feel like octet shows more real concern & a variety of problems rather than just being a boomer going "phones r bad!! my generation was better!!"
I’d like to use this comment to thank Dave Malloy for all of the amazing music and inspiration he’s given me and the rest of the world, great job Octet cast! I can’t wait to hear the rest on a recording!
I just listened to the Octet cast recording, and I want to take back every bad thing I ever said about Dave Malloy when I was defending Dear Evan Hansen
Just saw this last Saturday at Berkeley Rep with this fantastic cast! I'm still enthralled. Bought the album. Loving it more and more with each listening.
@@sgeekmc8530 fair, but I would argue that the "intimacy" of a show doesn't determine it's chances of making it to Broadway. Even this year we saw the play, Hillary and Clinton, a 3 person show, earn several tony nominations. So it is certainly possible!
Zach Pickle i almost wonder, if this did go to broadway, how they would advertise it? they could certainly find some clever ways since a lot of advertising is digital and that’s what this show is sort of against, obviously. it wouldn’t be a normal ad campaign, i have a feeling (and wouldn’t it be disappointing if it was!)
Zach Pickle That’s true! It’s not even a cast thing in my opinion, I think some of the power of the piece is lost in a bigger space. I’m also not sure how the current staging would translate to a larger space. However, if it means the show gets more of the recognition it deserves, I’d be happy about it!
AlwaysGonnaSing Yeah that’s completely fair. If I checked my Screen Time (Which I won’t to preserve some dignity) it would probably be off the charts. Sometimes I just feel like some of the ways it’s implemented is just white noise trying to mátame older generations prove that ***kids these days are so addicted to their cell phones they won’t even hold a conversation with me anymore*** even though it’s their third time telling the same story that dinner and won’t even let other people talk (sorry, at least that’s *my* grandpa), though it’s been proven time and time again that older people are actually spending more time in front of computer screens than younger people. Anyways, all this rambling nonsense to say You’re right and you SHOULD say it, but there’s a big glowing asterisk next to it.
@@grayperson178 Tbh I think a lot of it is older generations just struggling to keep up with change and feeling left behind and isolated and maybe projecting some of their own addictions to technology onto younger people because they feel too confused and ashamed to address it within themselves.
@@grayperson178 This was my issue with the show at first listen, but I think it does let itself be nuanced and talk about what is /actually/ the problem with technology and the internet. There's several times when the cast directly addresses that they're not "F*cking luddites" or "Anti-porn religious conservatives". And maybe I'm just a terminally online millennial who's defensive about my internet usage. But I'll tell you, I don't do anything (Including this comment) without thinking of this show now.

song: *ends on a melancholic note*
Broadwaycom: it’s time to get funky
Dave malloy is truly a gift to humanity.
His writing skills are truly amazing, aren't they?
dave malloy deserves so much more appreciation i love his work so much
Dave Malloy is like a punk yet equally brilliant Sondheim. This man will go down in Broadway history as truly one of the greats.

This made me cry, I miss Great Comet SO. MUCH.
this womans voice is gorgeous 🤧❤️
Her name is Starr Busby, and she makes her own music too! Check out “Ms. Bland” on UA-cam.

Dave Malloy is such an incredible composer. Wow.
Dave Malloy deserves so much more recognition. Absolute genius of an artist.
3:20 and onward healed my soul
i find myself coming back to this time and time again.. this has such an effect on me and it’s beautiful
dave malloy man, lyrical genius
and i love the cast already!!!!
cant wait for the album
I just listened to the Octet cast recording, and I want to take back every bad thing I ever said about Dave Malloy when I was defending Dear Evan Hansen
when you were what 😰
@@bluewindgetssobare I was young and foolish
This kinda sounds like Natalya from preludes with a mix of Ghost Quartet! Im so glad to be alive during the same time as the great Dave Malloy
It always makes me think of Natalya!
Woah, I was not prepared for this much emotion! Now I'm crying and my makeup is ruined!! This is beautiful
Dave Malloy is a genius
This songs the literal definition of TRANSCENDING!
Octet is a mainstream musical done *right* 😍😍😪
The descriptions in Malloy’s songs are so amazing! Just, yes. Give me more of this!
chills. chills. chills. chills.
HERE BEFORE OCTET BLOWS UP AND GETS THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES
Dave Malloy you're fucking killing me !!!!!!
So beautiful. Love all of Octet, this song is so haunting, so loving, I love it.
Just saw this last Saturday at Berkeley Rep with this fantastic cast! I'm still enthralled. Bought the album. Loving it more and more with each listening.
the flavor is IMMACULATE
Time for broadway so I can actually see it thank you
I’m obsessed.
She's perfect
Her name is Starr Busby, and she makes her own music too! Check out “Ms. Bland” on UA-cam.
They’re amazing and I miss Great Comet and this sounds so much like letters from great comet.
Hélène Kuragina this also reminds me of Natasha’s solo.
3:20 to 3:56 is such a beautiful composition and just addicting to listen to
cast album NOW
So.... when is the cast album?
it’s out now!
THIS!!😍💖💖💖god this is so good💖
give starr more leading roles! now!
Getting some ghost quartet vibes
Yes!!! I've been wanting to see a video like this. Octet is Soo unpopular!
What rhymes with stolen? Melatonin!!!
anyone got an idea why Ed gets that 3-note bit at the end? is it character related or purely for melody reasons?
My biggest regret is still not saying hi to Alex Gibby when I saw him leave the theatre for spongebob.
...I'm just gonna go ahead and call that this will get the Tony for best musical right now...
For better or worse, I don’t think this show will transfer to broadway. It feels too intimate. It seems like a true off-broadway show
@@sgeekmc8530 fair, but I would argue that the "intimacy" of a show doesn't determine it's chances of making it to Broadway. Even this year we saw the play, Hillary and Clinton, a 3 person show, earn several tony nominations. So it is certainly possible!

@@janeseymour3872 I agree, I think the advertising would be a fascinating endeavor to be sure!

sad chorus ends
cue the jazzy trumpet music
"I say marry me RIGHT NOW or I die"
anyone know where i can find a 🥾👀
i havent found any video👢but there is audio👢 on tumblr
Yes
I know this is all HuRr DuR tEcHnoLoGy Is ScArY etc etc But DAMN this sounds good!!!
In all fairness, there is more nuance to it than that. I think it's an important point that just needs to be discussed in new better ways lol
