They probably had to speed up the tempo because at district competition, the performance has to be finished by a certain amount of time. And if you are over that time, you get stopped and points are taken off
Piano player is stunning. This was before any Hamilton sheet music existed, no album only a few video clips from previews. He rewrote and transcribed music himself, in a new key. He knew Daniel was going to run out of time, therefore played a bit faster than normal. And Daniel, well I’m biased, but he was hysterical and amazing! These two guys are now doing amazing things in the theatre world! WE ARE & GO BLUE!
Don't fault the accompanist for not "understanding the speed of the song." They've probably rehearsed it 100 times like that, and it was probably the soloist who told the accompanist to play at that tempo. If he didn't like the tempo, he should've brought it up in rehearsal.
No one cares about how fast the piano guy was. This wasn't his video. There are 200 other people saying the exact same thing. Say something different, geez. I thought your movements were cool. At first, I was thrown off because the whole point of Groff standing still is that it resembles how King George stands still during the war, but I grew to love your dancing the longer the video went on. Really made me chuckle. Hope you won!
This was great! I think you did the part of King George justice. I just had my regional thespian competition today. I think next year I will sing this selection. Would you mind sharing where you got the sheet music for it? :)
Melody Powers yes because he doesn't know the backgrounds of those students. Just because they're in college doesn't mean they handle speak of death and violence well.
Jozie Cox I would understand if there really was horrible, graphic talk and/or depictions of death and violence, but there really is nothing in here that would earn more than a PG rating... On the other hand, language, or sexual innuendo (is that how you spell it?), that's content that makes sense to warn people about.
Melody Powers It was for a high school theatre competition where we have to say the what the piece contains as a precaution for those attending the performance
@@vacui1 I just thinks its annoying how the other people were laughing 😡 this is history and an amazing musical. People just don't respect history these days 😤
MY SISTER MADE HER WAY ACROSS THE ROOM TO YOU, I GOT NERVOUS THINKIN WHATS SHE GONNA DOOOO SHE GRABS YOU BY THE ARM IM THINKIN IM THROOOUGH THEN YOU LOOK BACK AT ME AND SUDDENLY IM *HELPLEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS*
you definitely have the voice and the stage presence, but please slow it down a bit. I'm assuming nerves were a part of the quickness. The beauty of this song is the pacing and the line delivery. You've got a bright future ahead of you :)
I absolutely love this Soooo much. I love his movements they match groff alot 😍 I jus tcant explain it. I'm a huge hamilton fan mostly king george as you can see for my pfp. This was incredible
Nice voice. Tempo is a bit too fast. A bit too much body movement, remember George was king and would have had a regal attitude which makes the lyrics all the funnier. I realize you wouldn't want to copy the Broadway performance, yet George under the robes and heavy crown moving only his shoulders up and down, while looking disdainfully at the audience, adds a layer of absurdity to the whole thing.
That piano player player really likes that sustain petal.
omfg I'm crying 😂
I’m crying lol
That actually made me laugh very loudly
Let him like it
and hats...
HE SOUNDS SO SIMILAR TO GROFF DEAR JESUS
RIGHT???
👁👄👁
💧
Could we check the CarFax on that one?
Plot twist: he is Groffsauce, just cosplaying as a normal citizen

Not really, it's a 5 minute time limit for songs in district competitions
its a fucking 1 minute song if the limit is 5 mins it can still be at reg speed IT COULD EVEN BE SLOWER FFS
Kinchu The Wolf it’s 4 minuets actyally.
you'll actually get disqualified if you go over the time limit
Holy shit, that pianist was rushing you. But your voice is amazing (:
WHY DO YOU SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THE SOUNDTRACK VERSION WTFFFF
IK
+Lukes Life MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!
At first I thought he was lip synching.
i know he sounded like the fucking album
WHEN HE OPENED HIS MOUTH I FREAKED OUT HE SOUNDS SO SIMILAR TO GROFF
pianist- "what if I just play all the notes at the same time?"
Piano player is stunning. This was before any Hamilton sheet music existed, no album only a few video clips from previews. He rewrote and transcribed music himself, in a new key. He knew Daniel was going to run out of time, therefore played a bit faster than normal. And Daniel, well I’m biased, but he was hysterical and amazing! These two guys are now doing amazing things in the theatre world! WE ARE & GO BLUE!
You were amazing (even with a piano player who doesn't understand the speed of the song)!
I know he was going WAY TO fast
you could say that the pianist plays like he's running out of time
+Isabel Garcia this is the best comment ive ever seen...I love Hamilton puns!!!!
+Isabel Garcia YAS

I think Geoff said he stood still because he didn’t want his crown to fall off... idk I can’t remember
Imagine if Groff was able to move in his costume like that!
Emily Harding lol the crown would fly off 😂
He better get a freakin A!
Is he a student
@@diegocalderon4552 Seems like an assignment to perform with the way he introduced himself
@@Justwatching11098 you replied even though you haven’t been here for 4 years wow
@@diegocalderon4552 lol I got a notification. I completely forgot I commented 😂
@@Justwatching11098 it’s a district thespian competition, an A would be a Superior ranking
*casually sets the piano player on fire*
Optimistic Realist Dont blame the pianist. They must have had a time limit.
They had a time limit.
This was......YES!!! I love Hamiltion covers, do you mind if i use some of this in my Hamilton Album review
Go ahead!
Amazing performance,
I love how comical yet professional it was.
IS THAT YOU GROFF
This was amazing he has great talent and those faces are priceless! :) Jonathan Groff and Miranda would be proud! 😄
His little dances and acting to the song is amazing
Complaint: he didn't say EVERYBODY for the last dadadadada
Me: Now your making me madddhhhhhhgg *screech*
I wish I were as good as him. Jeez, he hits the notes, has the confidence, the charisma, why can I not bee this good?
Am I coming too late to say that you'd should be on broadway right now and that this is absolutely flawless?
This was great! I think you did the part of King George justice. I just had my regional thespian competition today. I think next year I will sing this selection. Would you mind sharing where you got the sheet music for it? :)
HOW DOES THIS SOUND ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE REAL THING THIS IS AMAZING
#FLAWLESS!!! At the voice is...
Damn! holy crap this is amazing.
Give this boy an Oscar
*tony
Those mesmerizing hand movements
This hilarious my favourite song from Hamilton just got 10 times better
Did he really warn what looks like college kids about "frank talk about death and violence"?
Melody Powers yes because he doesn't know the backgrounds of those students. Just because they're in college doesn't mean they handle speak of death and violence well.
Jozie Cox I would understand if there really was horrible, graphic talk and/or depictions of death and violence, but there really is nothing in here that would earn more than a PG rating...

Melody Powers It was for a high school theatre competition where we have to say the what the piece contains as a precaution for those attending the performance
Melody Powers when you go to Festivals and preform a piece, you are required to mention possible triggers from your piece. Even subtle ones.
Oh my gosh...this was great....it sounds a lot like the original 😭😂
love the way he said "ill go mad"
50% of the comments are talking about the pianist and the other 50% are talking about him sounding exactly like Groff.
The guy has talent.
Next time, if a pianist rushes you, don't follow them. It's their job to follow you. Set the tempo and stand firm. They will follow you. :) great job!
STUNNING PERFORMANCE! his appearance was enough to sell it.
groffsauce is that you
Amazing voice! 🎊🎊💐💐
This boy is mine. He's mine.
"THAT BOY IS MINE, THAT BOY IS MIIIIIIINE"
Jd Vids I GOT HIM FIRST HES MY CLASS MATE

This.. this brings tears to my eyes.
That guy could be a grown ass man right now, or maybe in college. I dunno.
But.. its *beautiful* 💫

+Curtis Rogers It also might be due to performance time.
***** that's a fair point. Didn't consider that when making my comment.
+Curtis Rogers I think it was the pianist honestly
its the pianist definitely
The speed was because of the piano player
Wonderful!
Amazing!
I absolutely love this Soooo much. I love his movements they match groff alot 😍 I jus tcant explain it. I'm a huge hamilton fan mostly king george as you can see for my pfp. This was incredible

OMG I LOVE THESE EXPRESSIONS LOL
This was amazing

He nailed the voice
Too fast.
it was probably the pianist as well, not just Daniel T. (though not saying either were BAD, it was just rushed)
Time limit for competition.
amazeballs. good job bro

Really good

GR8 I LOVED IT
This is gold
OH MY GOD HE SANG IT SO PERFECT!
The shoulder shimmy killed me
THIS IS GREAT

Omg! So great :)

Wow.

This is so good, I wish it happened in my school
