Okay...Here's a precise breakdown with time stamps... 0:20 - Howard McGillin, who I believe holds the record for the longest tenure as The Phantom in ALW's 'The Phantom of the Opera'. He's done tons of musicals...original casts like 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood', revivals like 'Anything Goes' with Patti LuPone, as well as replacement casts for longer running shows like 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' and 'Phantom'. 0:26 - Chuck Cooper, Tony Award winner for the musical 'The Life' 0:55 - Wanting his check, is the legendary Joel Grey, The Emcee himself from the OBC of 'Cabaret' (Tony Winner), as well as the film version of 'Cabaret' (Oscar Winner). He's also the father of Jennifer Grey aka Baby in 'Dirty Dancing'. 1:36 - Andre DeShields, from 'Hadestown' (Tony Winner) as well as 'The Full Monty', and he created the title character in the OBC of 'The Wiz' back in the 70s. He is a true Broadway legend. 1:58 - Brian Stokes Mitchell...yeah, TONS of Broadway...Tony Winner for 'KIss Me, Kate', created the role of Coalhouse Walker, Jr. in 'Ragtime', and also was in the revival of 'Man of La Mancha' as Cervantes/Qujana/Don Quixote. Listen and react to "Wheels of a Dream" (with Audra McDonald) and "Let Them Hear You" from 'Ragtime', "The Impossible Dream" from 'Man od La Mancha', or "Were Thine That Special Face" from 'Kiss Me, Kate'...or any song he has sung. Incredible baritone voice! 3:46 - Phylisha Rashad, a Tony Winner for 'A Raisin in the Sun' revival that co-starred Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Audra McDonald, but most famous for playing Claire Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show' in the 1980s. She mainly does theater now. And she is the sister of actress/singer/dancer/choreographer Debbie Allen. 3:58 - Beth Malone, Tony Winner for playing graphic novelist Alison Bechdel in the musical of Bechdel's graphic novel 'Fun Home'. She is actually wearing her 'Fun Home' costume. She also was in the 'Angels in America' revival with Andrew Garfield (which earned Andrew his Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play). 4:01 - Bebe Neuwirth...LEGEND of stage and tv. Dr. Lilith Sternin-Crane from 'Cheers' and 'Frasier' which won her two Emmy Awards. Currently Avis DeVoto in the HBOMax series 'Julia' about Julia Child. But as a musical performer...the 'Sweet Charity' revival in the 1980s that was the last show directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse before he died, and she won a Tony for that. She played Lola in the revival of 'Damn Yankees' , won another Tony Award as Velma Kelly in the revival of 'Chicago'. And she has done so many other tv, movies and stage work. 5:08 - Chita Rivera, creator of the musical roles Anita in 'West Side Story', Velma Kelly in 'Chicago', Rose in 'Bye Bye Birdie', and Aurora, the Spider Woman in 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' in the original productions. She won Tonys for 'The Rink' and 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' A Latina legend of the theater. 5:35 - Bernadette Peters...'Into the Woods', yes...but she created the role of Dot in Stephen Sondheim's 'Sunday in the Park With George'. She is wearing a hat like the one Dot wears in the show, during "Sunday", which this "Sunday" pays homage to. You should see the OBC cast of 'Sunday in the Park With George' perform "Sunday"...it's a wonderful song as well. 5:58 - The Bums, paying the ultimate homage to Jonathan Larson...the Original Broadway Roger (Adam Pascal), Mimi (Daphne Rubin-Vega), and Angel (Wilson Jermaine Herredia) of Larson's 'RENT'! Wilson won a Tony for playing Angel. Adam and Daphne were both nominated, but didn't win. Adam and Wilson did the film version of 'RENT', and Daphne was in the film version of 'In The Heights'. Hope it helps!
You forgot about Renée Elise Goldsberry and Philipa Soo, who were the ladies wanting mimosas, and also that Lin made an appearance (he was one of the cooks in the kitchen). I understand she knows these ones already, though. But, other than that this helped a lot because I recognized some of them, but couldn't remember their names.😊
Funfact: Lin wasn't supposed to be in the kitchen here. he wanted to put the baker and the baker's wife from into the woods in the kitchen but with the pandemic there were some late changes made and he ended up there.
@@martynnotman3467 No, Lin wanted Chip Zien and Joanna Gleason. They played The Baker and his Wife in the original Broadway production of Into The Woods. Joanna Gleason even won a Tony Award for her performance in the role.
Andrew said that he couldn't call them "fools" in the first take! Ps: this music is a parady of another musical's song, called Sunday from Sunday the Park with George, which, in turn, is inspired in a painting. That's why at the end the scene becomes a painting!! Ps: I've commented earlier a link to all the Broadway cameos! 😍
Renee and Phillips aren’t the only Broadway stars who cameo too! There’s also: Andre De Shields, Chita Rivera, Laura Benanti, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Adam Pascal, Daphne Ruben-Vega, Bebe Neuwirth, Bernadette Peters, Stephan Sondheim (his voice), Joel Grey, and LMM himself!
Because he knew Jonathan wouldn’t call them Fools, so Lin had to explain why he decided to put these musical theater giants in the scene & reminded Andrew he was still just Jonathan- before any of them were as huge as they were 🤷♀️
Andrew said he had to stop in the middle of one take where is singing 'sit the fools' and he begged lin to change that Lyric because he couldn't call those people fools lmao and then he just couldn't say that word and Lin told him: "you workship these people but as jonathan they're just people in the dinner not your idols so just fucking say the word" and then he did the take and finished that scene lmao. This song in this scene was the first time is was performed as a group because in tick tick boom, Jonathan played this alone with the piano and sang alone, so lin put this scene together with the cast of Jonathan's dream people in it as well as some people that had connections with Stephen sondheim, lin, Jonathan, etc. And three of the original cast members of rent where there. They knew Jonathan but this was before they met him since they took place before he wrote rent. So it's nuts and emotional and crazy. Lin and Andrew cried like babies watching this in the final cut; their words not mine lol.
"Omelet with no yolks" guy is Brian Stokes Mitchell. He's been nominated for the Tony numerous times and won for Kiss Me, Kate. He was most recently in Shuffle Along with Audra McDonald and - fun fact - plays one of Rachel Berry's dads on Glee.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but if you look close in the "Louder than words" song when they pan to 'Steven Sondheim' character, sitting in front of him was Chris Jackson (George Washington) from Hamilton.
"How do I know her?" is Phylicia Rashad - aka Claire Huxtable. "Her too" was Bebe Neuwirth - aka Frasier Crane's wife Lilith - who played the Tony Award-winning roles of Nickie in the revival of Sweet Charity (1986) and Velma Kelly in the revival of Chicago (1996). The woman you freaked out about and said "Chicago?" is the great Chita Rivera who originated Anita in West Side Story and has 10 Tony nominations and three wins. The guy who wanted his check was Joel Grey - the original Emcee in Cabaret and original Wizard in Wicked - and Jennifer Grey's (Dirty Dancing) father. And I swear to god that Bernadette Peters must be a vampire because she has not aged a bit since the 1970s!!! She's stunning.
Tick tick boom is definitely my favourite movie of all time too. I can’t get over how good it is! And as a person in my mid 20s, the existential crisis becomes more relatable every day 😂
There's an additional meta-level to this whole song, because this is actually not Jonathan Larson's number. This is Larson's "Weird Al Yankovic" funny version of Stephen Sonheim's "Sunday" from his musical Sunday in the Park with George, starring Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin. They actually watch this exact scene earlier in the movie on TV, when they discuss Bernadette's thin waist and men's inability to profess love to other people. Musically this number is literally the same, lyrically - like 75% the same, and even the "order, tension, balance" lines in the beginning - all from Sondheim's Sunday. The real Larson was a protege of Sondheim way more than the movie shows, he started bombing the man's mail with his works even before he finished theatre school. So in Tick Tick Boom he sort of paid respects to Sondheim with this one, but he himself only sang it solo during the one-man-show era of this musical, while the original Sunday is a HUGE number that basically made everybody else go "huh, putting a number like that at the end of act 1 seems like a good idea, so that people wouldn't leave the building or something" (Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, RENT, Hamilton, LITERALLY EVERYBODY past 1985 started doing it). So Lin decided to gather EVERY LEGEND he could muster, including both Larson's favorites and those who came after his passing, to create the most legendary performance of this song imaginable, and Bernadette was the one he called first. I'll just leave this quote from Lin from an interview, I wrote it down, because it broke me: "[creating this number] I wanna reach the back row of the galaxy, wherever John may be and I want all of his heroes to be singing this damn song for him, in these epic, huge angelic choral harmonies, so that wherever he is, he can rest easy and he can hear it".
I have heard other people say about this song that it’s the theatre kids’ version of the Endgame scene 😆 Plenty of amazing fan service that had all of us pointing at our screens for a few minutes. Fun BTS fact- Lin said that he did the “Lyrics by Jonathan Larson” on the building because was something that Jon never got to see for himself in life and wanted to give Jon the chorus of singers that he had probably always imagined when writing the song. 💗♥️💕 The people in it are all both people that inspired Jonathan or were inspired by him through his work.
I think this would work for theatre nerds and non-theatre nerds For non-theatre nerds, it could just be Jonathan Larson fantasizing these random people in his musical to cope with the Sunday brunch rush. For theatre nerds, this is Lin saying, “How do you do, fellow theatre nerds?” He put big theatre stars that some of us might recognize. He even put it Bernadette Peters, a veteran in Sondheim musicals, and three from the original cast of Rent. Put simply, this is Lin servicing theatre fans. If COVID hadn’t happened, this would have more people
I read somewhere that the only reason Lin was in the scene was that the person who was originally supposed to be there couldn't make it. With Covid restrictions, they couldn't just bring anyone in last minute.
This is my favorite song in the movie along with Green Green Dress! I just absolutely LOVED watching all the Broadway legends sing it (and absolutely blow me away), and how the diner turned into a stage at the end!
I'm so glad you made this. Watching your reaction made me remember when i first saw this scene and was freaking out at every new face. I was in tears by the end. It's truly a musical theatre lover's wish come true.
If you haven't seen it before, I recommend checking the live Broadway recording of Sunday in the Park With George, which is what this song pays homage to. Earlier in the film, you can see Jonathan, Susan, and Michael watching it on TV. It's a Sondheim musical starting Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin. Definitely a worthwhile watch.
I feel like this song gets so much funnier after you listen to Sunday from Sunday in the Park with George. Also listen to Jonothan's original demo audio recording of this because it'd amazing
That mosquito had really bad timing! I was very frustrated at how it distracted you from seeing most of these stars during your watch party! Glad you got to go back and review this!
First guy was Howard McGillin - he’s been in the original SITPWG production, he was Tony-nominated for his role in the original Edwin Drood production and for his role in the LuPone revival of Anything Goes, but he’s also well known for having played the most performances in the title role in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway at over 2500 shows (saw him in the role on a school field trip and he was incredible) - he also was the voice of Prince Derek in The Swan Princess animated movie from the ‘90s (look up Far Longer Than Forever from the movie - he sings that song with the singing voice of Odette, Liz Callaway) :)
Also the bums are Adam Pascal, Wilson Jermaine Heredia, and Daphne Rubin Vega - they were the original Roger, Angel, and Mimi respectively in Rent so they knew Jon Larson irl (Daphne mentioned she wore her Mimi boots and a hoodie that Jon gave her in the movie) 🥰
You have to watch "Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George... Ms Peters is the lead... and wears the same hat as in the movie... and it starts with chaos too... and it has the lyrics Bum bum bum... and the three "bums" are from the OBC of Rent... so many layers.... and the ending of this songs has a very similiar visual ending to the end of Sunday from SITHPWG... ua-cam.com/video/YsHflVxyGKQ/v-deo.html
Hey, it might be my favorite as well, it's well deserving of it (yet it was not nominated for Best Picture, and Garfield didn't win Best Actor somehow)
Fun fact I forgot to mention, Andrew and Beth Malone worked together previously on Angels in America on Broadway, she played the Angel, so they were already...eh...well acquainted hehe (you'll know what I mean if you've seen the play hahaha)
Please do another reaction to crazy ex-girlfriend, for the people who don't know ... It's a show about mental illness and the point of view of that person. It's a comedy and musical, Rachel bloom is the protagonist, co-creator, writer, and songwriter of this show. She's amazing and the show is amazing! ❤
Please watch Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist! It's such an underrated musical show, and I'd love to hear your take on how some of the less experienced singers could improve. It also has Rene Goldsberry and Bernadette Peters singing!!
If I subscribe do you promise to learn these people’ s names? Joel Gray! Chita Rivera! Bernadette Peters! You are cracking me up because, although you keep saying you are just a vocal coach, you are often kinda teaching musical theatre performance at the same time. So. How. Can. You. Not. Know. ❤😂😊
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 444 sentadillas son unos SEXBABY.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesk abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k

This number just hits different if you've seen Sunday in the Park With George.
Funfact: Lin wasn't supposed to be in the kitchen here. he wanted to put the baker and the baker's wife from into the woods in the kitchen but with the pandemic there were some late changes made and he ended up there.
That would be Emily Blunt and James Corden?
@@martynnotman3467 No apparently someone else, can't remember who though.
@@martynnotman3467 no from original broadway cast
@@martynnotman3467 No, Lin wanted Chip Zien and Joanna Gleason. They played The Baker and his Wife in the original Broadway production of Into The Woods. Joanna Gleason even won a Tony Award for her performance in the role.
So someone couldn't make their shift and he had to cover...yeah that checks out
Andrew said that he couldn't call them "fools" in the first take!

Ps: I've commented earlier a link to all the Broadway cameos! 😍
I don’t think Audrey knows about Sondheim’s masterpiece. 🤦♂️😅
Yes Jonathan Larson took Sondheim's 'Sunday' and wrote his own 'Sunday' as a homage to Sondheim.
Renee and Phillips aren’t the only Broadway stars who cameo too!
There’s also: Andre De Shields, Chita Rivera, Laura Benanti, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Adam Pascal, Daphne Ruben-Vega, Bebe Neuwirth, Bernadette Peters, Stephan Sondheim (his voice), Joel Grey, and LMM himself!
and Phylicia Rashad!
Phylicia Rashad!!
Christopher Jackson
And Wilson Jermaine Heredia
5:57 That’s Adam Pascal, Daphne Rubin-Vega and Wilson Jermaine Heredia. They were the OG Roger, Mimi and Angel from RENT
I don't know if he was nervous per se, but he was definitely anxious that it took 12 takes because he couldn't stand calling them "fools" hahaha
Because he knew Jonathan wouldn’t call them Fools, so Lin had to explain why he decided to put these musical theater giants in the scene & reminded Andrew he was still just Jonathan- before any of them were as huge as they were 🤷♀️
Andrew said he had to stop in the middle of one take where is singing 'sit the fools' and he begged lin to change that Lyric because he couldn't call those people fools lmao and then he just couldn't say that word and Lin told him: "you workship these people but as jonathan they're just people in the dinner not your idols so just fucking say the word" and then he did the take and finished that scene lmao.

Prove it..
@@DonoZeek I watched that interview too…youtube search bar is right there for you bro…
@@notthatguy7578 just send me the link. It isn't that hard.
The fact that Andrew Garfield didn’t receive the Oscar for this movie is disgusting. So well deserved
"Omelet with no yolks" guy is Brian Stokes Mitchell. He's been nominated for the Tony numerous times and won for Kiss Me, Kate. He was most recently in Shuffle Along with Audra McDonald and - fun fact - plays one of Rachel Berry's dads on Glee.
And original cast of Ragtime, also with Audra! :)
He’s also Jethro’s singing voice in Prince of Egypt
@@ezelfrancisco1349 I didnt know that! I feel like he was the "it" lead guy in the 90s and early 00s. I am such a huge fan, he's great in this scene!

Yes! It was supposed to be Chip Zien (The Baker from Into the Woods) but he couldn't make it.
Tick tick boom is my fav movie of all time too
This is my favorite song in the movie along with Green Green Dress! I just absolutely LOVED watching all the Broadway legends sing it (and absolutely blow me away), and how the diner turned into a stage at the end!
You are literally killing me by not knowing who these Broadway people are yet knowing who these people are. ❤
I'm so glad you made this. Watching your reaction made me remember when i first saw this scene and was freaking out at every new face. I was in tears by the end. It's truly a musical theatre lover's wish come true.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tick Tick Boom!!! And I LOVE your reaction videos! Thank you so much! The three "bums" were from the cast of RENT. Love this scene!
The man who asks "Do you have any of that wonderful Jewish bread?" is Howard McGillin who played the Phantom on Broadway :)
Easily one of my top three favorite movies. Everything about it is perfection.
Just the brilliance of Lin Manuel Miranda ❤️
If you haven't seen it before, I recommend checking the live Broadway recording of Sunday in the Park With George, which is what this song pays homage to. Earlier in the film, you can see Jonathan, Susan, and Michael watching it on TV. It's a Sondheim musical starting Bernadette Peters and Mandy Patinkin. Definitely a worthwhile watch.
One more, please. Johnny can't decide and it's complete for everyone. Thank you for the amazing videos. Come to Brazil sometime.
YESS I Love Johnny can‘t decide
Btw, Bernadette Peters is in Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. She's in the second season I believe.
I feel like this song gets so much funnier after you listen to Sunday from Sunday in the Park with George. Also listen to Jonothan's original demo audio recording of this because it'd amazing
That mosquito had really bad timing! I was very frustrated at how it distracted you from seeing most of these stars during your watch party! Glad you got to go back and review this!
First guy was Howard McGillin - he’s been in the original SITPWG production, he was Tony-nominated for his role in the original Edwin Drood production and for his role in the LuPone revival of Anything Goes, but he’s also well known for having played the most performances in the title role in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway at over 2500 shows (saw him in the role on a school field trip and he was incredible) - he also was the voice of Prince Derek in The Swan Princess animated movie from the ‘90s (look up Far Longer Than Forever from the movie - he sings that song with the singing voice of Odette, Liz Callaway) :)

React to in the heights!!! It’s amazing
You have to watch "Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George... Ms Peters is the lead... and wears the same hat as in the movie... and it starts with chaos too... and it has the lyrics Bum bum bum... and the three "bums" are from the OBC of Rent... so many layers.... and the ending of this songs has a very similiar visual ending to the end of Sunday from SITHPWG... ua-cam.com/video/YsHflVxyGKQ/v-deo.html
That moment with Bernadette and having him draw her up on the word light is just perfection.
I'd just like to say this now, I performed this for my recent project for school about Musicals, it was lip sync but I would have gladly sung it
I relate to this whole scene more than anything I've seen.
all us theatre kids in the comments here to name every single cameo! love yall 💓
The homeless trio outsider the Café are 3 stars of originale cast from Rent!!! 💖
One of the best musicals ever
tick tick boom is one of the best movies this times tho it should get more recognition
Don’t want to wait??? Watch this video RIGHT NOW on my Patreon account: www.patreon.com/SongsFromASuitcase
Wow, I love this 🥰
I looove this scene
When this scene happened, it was 4 minutes of just screaming. I made everyone I was with pause the movie so I can catch my breath
Hey, it might be my favorite as well, it's well deserving of it (yet it was not nominated for Best Picture, and Garfield didn't win Best Actor somehow)
The diner is a Cameo Fest! hahahahahaa
*Every* crowd scene in this movie is a cameo fest 😆😆
Lin really used his whole Rolodex on this 😍
Fun fact I forgot to mention, Andrew and Beth Malone worked together previously on Angels in America on Broadway, she played the Angel, so they were already...eh...well acquainted hehe (you'll know what I mean if you've seen the play hahaha)
I love you react to this song the same way I did
The “bums” are the OG cast from RENT
Please do another reaction to crazy ex-girlfriend, for the people who don't know ...
It's a show about mental illness and the point of view of that person.
It's a comedy and musical, Rachel bloom is the protagonist, co-creator, writer, and songwriter of this show.
She's amazing and the show is amazing! ❤
ohh I love that show !!!
@@MA24691 yes, it's one of my favorites shows
Tick… Tick… Boom! Is my favourite non-Marvel movie and I think I like it more like a couple of Marvel movies
You are so fun!
How did you miss RENT cast?
I ❤️ LOVE ❤️ THIS ❤️ MOVIE!!
this reminds me of how much I would love to see you discuss Hadestown more. Love your videos!
Love ya!
No Chita Rivera or Bebe Neuwirth recognition? You didn't get Joel Grey?
we both reached for the gun
Please watch Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist! It's such an underrated musical show, and I'd love to hear your take on how some of the less experienced singers could improve.
It also has Rene Goldsberry and Bernadette Peters singing!!
React to songs from the Zoey extraordinary playlist. It is a musical comedy series.
I really enjoyed your review, hated the random interruptions for your own promotional things. I get it, just throw it at the beginning and/or end. ♥
Please react to the original Sunday in the Park number with Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters.
Yes, yes, and MORE YES!! I would love her reaction to the original ❤
If I subscribe do you promise to learn these people’ s names? Joel Gray! Chita Rivera! Bernadette Peters! You are cracking me up because, although you keep saying you are just a vocal coach, you are often kinda teaching musical theatre performance at the same time. So. How. Can. You. Not. Know. ❤😂😊
The bums are all original Rent cast.
I didn’t realize it til now but Phillipa and Renee are Disneybounding Eliza and Angelica
When the react of "be okay" comes out?
finallyy😍😍😍
I would have lost control of all bodily functions if I'd have been merely a PA on the set that day.
Here are all the people identified plus a whole lot more.
