Kianna Naomi I am so happy for you!!!!! You’re an amazing artist, and you have inspired me to focus more on music and pursue my interest in musical theatre as well! I wish you the best on your growing career.❤️
Same, I'd love to take singing lessons, but considering how awful my voice and singing ability are, I'd need so many lessons that I wouldn't have enough money even if I sold everything I own :')
"Okay guys, while I can give you guys pointers, I never ever want to re-teach you something, okay?" Next day, needs to be retought something: "Really guys? Really?"
sis! the chords! the four and five part harmonies! the chemistry between the entire cast! the set! the lights! girl I can hear the bottom line as much as the top line in the chord with the blonde girl omg this is perfect!
If you really want to be in a musical, practice! You can teach yourself to sing. I know a girl at my community theater who couldn't sing when she was really young, but she taught herself and she's really good now. Dont give up, I myself can't dance, but I still do musical theater anyway!
@@neko-jt9cj Chorus is sometimes way more fun than the leads because you get to sing without being in the spotlight if you're not comfortable with that, plus the chorus usually has the most fun dance parts
Everyone in the comments is just like “omg so good I wish my high school had that stage and funds 😭” uh yeah that’s a college production thank you for coming to my ted talk.
If you can't do that, you can always try out technical theater. It's the people backstage but it's still fun and you play a key part (without the audience looking at you to make sure you don't screw up.)
Onstage: *says a line* Director: YOU NEED TO PROJECT!!! Backstage: *asking what side we enter next* Director: SOUND TRAVELS IN THIS THEATER YOU NEED TO BE QUIET!
It's great when mid show someone forgot to preset their costume change... and as the costume manager it's your responsibility to run and get it or find a replacement in .2 seconds
Hair is probably my favorite musical now. A few weeks ago, I saw my friend's high school perform it, and I loved it. It was the first musical I saw without knowing much about it or listening to any of the songs, and it was just so outstanding. all the songs are bops
I wish my theatre group had access to such a great stage. Literally ours is so tiny it gets very crowded... And also highkey wished I got along with my cast that well because I’ve already gotten super duper mad with someone I have to interact with onstage and I want to smack these few people just because they think that since they’re obscured from a massive chunk of the audience by a tall person they can just stop acting.
ImATrain123 yeah my stage is small too. We don’t have good sound systems. We don’t even get funding from the school (my school’s clubs don’t rly get funding except sports)
I did a collection of short skits with my friends, there was this one guy (alan, I will call you out I hate your guts) and it made doing scenes with him a nightmare, but I got to hit him with an umbrella while he wore a bucket on his head for a scene so it all worked out
LOVE seeing this side :’) please post more about your musical theater experiences and peeps they all seem so sweet (‘: love you and love to see you’re flourishing
"alright annnd we forgot everything" literally is such a theatre mood though also i just want you to know how much i love and appreciate that first sing through of let the sun shine in, like that clip just encapsulates everything i love about theatre and makes me cry every time
i remember coming home really late almost at midnight on a school night from rehearsal. it was tiring and stressful but after two months of rehearsals the work payed off!!! such a good experience to be in musical theater
/jane * you can still be JD even tho you're a girl. I'm a girl, I tried out for the main male lead at my school musical, and got it. So you still have a chance even if your gender doesn't match the character's, as long as you can act like the character
This video literally makes me so excited and hopeful about musical theatre college. It's gonna be hard to be accepted but this makes me want to work even harder to get accepted at one! I'm literally watching this for the third time because all of this sounds so good!
This got reccomended to me, and I honestly relate with every thing and I can confirm the excitement at the end is worth it. I'm in a production of Hair as well, right now actually, so good luck to you!
As a theater kid, i can confirm this is indeed what being in a musical is like. But there is more....we also have the craziest inside jokes you can only understand if you were in the musical, the directors telling you to project onstage but when you are whispering in the wings you are "way too loud", extreme post-closing night depression and HONEY. (you get it if you're a theater kid). Also that magical feeling when your director accidentally says a word from the show and you all start singing and it sounds amazing even though there is no music and you're all just having fun. Man, I love being a theater kid
I relate to this so much. People underestimate how much work goes into musical theatre. I love musical theatre because of how challenging it can be, I love it!
omg the guy from 2:06-2:13 is literally me during all my rehearsals and also its excessive amounts of tea , honey and from my experiences, drama offstage and crying
this is so accurate! this year is my third year of doing (musical) theater, and my high school is doing legally blonde! it’s a bit different this year, for me at least, because it’s my freshman year. here are the shows ive been in! • high school musical - kendra + thespian ensemble + “rebel” ensemble • alice @ wonderland - cheshire cat • willy wonka and the chocolate factory - violet • legally blonde - winthrop
I'm not a theatre kid so I'm basically a complete stranger when it comes to this stuff. I went to my first broadway show today though and decided to look a bit into theatre. Honestly, I'd say that theatre kids are the most outgoing and confident group of people I've ever seen. It especially stands out to me because it's hard to tell whether each individuals are just hyperactive like that or if it's the setting that really brings forth that energy (I mean, if you're gonna be a musical actor, you gotta be willing to sing, dance and act in ways you normally wouldn't) It's theaters, so there's no room for being too shy, not wanting to be too loud, not wanting to stand out too much. Once again, I really know nothing about the actual experience of being in a musical but it honestly looks like something that could bring out the best in someone.
Music practise for a musical is like one of my favourite parts of the process. Mucking about silently and dancing along when you aren't needed is the best. You are all so talented btw
Omgggggg I DID HAIR THE MUSICAL AT A THEATRE ARTS SCHOOL BACK IN 8TH GRADE AND WASNT EVEN AWARE ALL I REMEMBERED WAS THE SONGS... and when I heard that girl sing “a moving paper fantasy” it all started coming back to me! Star-shine and Aquarius are some bops. I LOVE THIS ITS SO ACCURATE UGHHH MY HEART UWU
Could you post more videos like this? I really want to be in a musical although I'm not sure what it's like and I want to know if I'm really up for it. Although I can't sing but pretty soon I'm going to be taking vocal lessons and improve in that (Which I know will take an extremely long time) before I actually audition. I just think that these types of videos could be really helpful for people who want to know more about what goes on behind the curtains. So thanks for uploading. :3
One: being in a musical, even if it’s just a background role, can be extremely difficult. I do recommend looking up more videos like this. Two: AYYYYYYY! STARKID FANS!
YES I LOVE STARKID! Also, yeah. It takes hard work and commitment so I've been trying to find out more about what goes on behind the scenes so I know exactly what I need to be prepared for. I don't want to be the one person who screws up the entire show. And have you seen the new trailer for Starkid's new show?
this is the musical HAIR btw & I played Ronnie, & if you're wondering I'm a theatre arts major in college:)
Kianna Naomi I am so happy for you!!!!! You’re an amazing artist, and you have inspired me to focus more on music and pursue my interest in musical theatre as well! I wish you the best on your growing career.❤️
I was just watching one of you old videos and how much you have glowed up ( you were beautiful then too) but I'm like OMG YOUR FABULOUS SIS!
Kianna playing Ronnie in HAIR is all I ever needed in life 💛
Same
Omg my grandfather was in thattttttttt ahahaha. I do Musical Theatre too. So GoOd
U forgot directors yelling at you, bizarre inside jokes, extreme need of sleep, and a lot of food in rooms where it shouldn't be.
Literally the entirety of when I did Drowsy Chaperone
nomi steamboat HA XD this was all from a production of Newsies, I have a video of some of our production on my channel if ur interested
And the occasional group of people rolling on the ground for no reason
So many bizarre inside jokes
YESSS SO ACCURATE HAHAH
step 1 to joining a musical group :
be able to sing
*well damn im already out*
You should consider singing lessons!
Same.
Same, I'd love to take singing lessons, but considering how awful my voice and singing ability are, I'd need so many lessons that I wouldn't have enough money even if I sold everything I own :')
I can’t sing but somehow I still get cast 😂
hanna phoenix also you gotta know how to project like crazyyyyyy 😂😂😂😭
i love that everyone in the music rehearsal had the exact same energy
you need to share the energy in theater
was i high writing that wtf
"alright and we forgot everything"
SO ACCURATE
"Okay guys, while I can give you guys pointers, I never ever want to re-teach you something, okay?"
Next day, needs to be retought something:
"Really guys? Really?"
Charlotte Faulkes
EVERY SINGLE TIME
Can't tell you how much I relate to this
As a theater kid I can confirm this video is accurate to what play practice is like normally
Missing the inside jokes tho
Yup, agreed
play practice? you mean musical rehearsal??
@@writegirl422 thank you
Um no musical is way more chaotic but still really fun
Being a thespian myself, OMG WHAT AN AMAZING THEATER. AND THE LIGHTS
EXACTLY. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
Hello fellow thespian 👋🏾
I'm a lesbian thespian
This is such an accurate depiction of musical theater if everyone is good at singing lmao.
Lol. I love musical theater and can’t sing
Don’t ask how I got a lead
@@Hamilton_101 oh…
Literal chills as soon as y'all started singing
GIRL PLEASEEE post more theater videos, you're snatching my life rn
*theatre
Lucy Charles i love you
@@brooke2601 mood
sis! the chords! the four and five part harmonies! the chemistry between the entire cast! the set! the lights! girl I can hear the bottom line as much as the top line in the chord with the blonde girl omg this is perfect!
Okay I did not know Kiana could sing like this! Go off sis! ❤️❤️😘✨✨
Fr
Me: Maybe I’ll try to be in a musical
Everybody in the video: having voices like goddesses/gods
Me: Ok, nvm can’t sing
If you really want to be in a musical, practice! You can teach yourself to sing. I know a girl at my community theater who couldn't sing when she was really young, but she taught herself and she's really good now. Dont give up, I myself can't dance, but I still do musical theater anyway!
you can be chorus if you don't want to sing!
@@neko-jt9cj Chorus is sometimes way more fun than the leads because you get to sing without being in the spotlight if you're not comfortable with that, plus the chorus usually has the most fun dance parts
Lil Bit I felt that
Ensemble is great if your a decent dancer. You sing In a group so there's less focus on your vocals, but it's still an awesome time
Everyone in the comments is just like “omg so good I wish my high school had that stage and funds 😭” uh yeah that’s a college production thank you for coming to my ted talk.
No one:
Me: honestly I’d love to be kianna, honestly, idk I would just love it, kianna is just-
DAMN YOU GOT VOCALS!!! Musicals always make me wish I could sing 😩
OUR GIRL CAN SING
Wanting to be in a musical but having zero vocal or dancing ability 😭🤧
Same😢
If you can't do that, you can always try out technical theater. It's the people backstage but it's still fun and you play a key part (without the audience looking at you to make sure you don't screw up.)
Osiel Escalante I don’t but I took lessons hard-core and I had a lot of fun plus I improved. If you really want to be in a musical maybe take lessons.
priccly pear yess stage crew is so fun. after all the rehearsals you honestly feel like you could be in the show
I want to be in a musical but I’m too shy
This makes me miss theater, I’ve been both on the stage and the stage hands and I had so much fun. Also the level and budget of this is amazing.
OKAY BUT THE HARMONIES WERE EVERYTHING 😍😭
you guys are incredible. amazing. wowowowowow.
ily queenie
guaooooo!!!!! we love a musical theater queen stanning another musical theater queen!!!!
omg rachel i literally love you

So true though

My goal is to be in at least one broadway musical before I pursue my career as an asl interpreter and hopefully sign musicals. That’s my goal
Chase Buccaran that’s such an interesting career! i hope you pursue your dreams :)
Good luck. That’s exciting 💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️.
My goal too! Not gonna happen if my parents don't stop being so judgy
I thought y'all were like a highschool theatre group and I was like "They're doing Hair?!?!😮🤨" Then I was like oh, it's college 😂
no one:
kianna: stunts on us with her talent
Everyone was a mood here!!! But y'all sounded so good like what I was SHOOK
You forgot back stage drama, “don’t eat in your costume” and forgetting to preset your prop and panicking.
It's great when mid show someone forgot to preset their costume change... and as the costume manager it's your responsibility to run and get it or find a replacement in .2 seconds
I’m doing my first musical ever (and show in general) in April so I’m a newbie what does eat your costume mean
[some funny and unique name] eat IN your costume, you could stain it
Michael Hayashida I’m such an idiot
@@lucyschraff4893 how did the show go😭
Why do they sound like the cast of Hamilton in "who will tell your story" during "let the sunshine in" 😭❤️
Hair is probably my favorite musical now. A few weeks ago, I saw my friend's high school perform it, and I loved it. It was the first musical I saw without knowing much about it or listening to any of the songs, and it was just so outstanding. all the songs are bops
Every one seems so extra and I’m living for it
That’s musical theatre for ya 😂😂😂
That’s theatre kids for ya
Exaggerate or go home
Every theater kid and I mean every one of us is more then extra cheese at a restaurant
Exactly... AND THATS WHY I LOVE IT
There's my queen front and center😍 so proud of you
guy head bumping to the music in the back at 3:33 is literally me
lourdes 😂
Bopping his head
lourdes I’m the awkward ginger girl in the background
THE CHAOTIC MUSICAL THEATRE ENERGY I LVOIOIJJL
Why is no one talking about how ANGELIC they sound???!!! It's like they came straight outta heaven.
I wish my theatre group had access to such a great stage. Literally ours is so tiny it gets very crowded...
And also highkey wished I got along with my cast that well because I’ve already gotten super duper mad with someone I have to interact with onstage and I want to smack these few people just because they think that since they’re obscured from a massive chunk of the audience by a tall person they can just stop acting.
That is what we call third day syndrome in my school.
When everyone has spent so much time together that we hate each other
ImATrain123 yeah my stage is small too. We don’t have good sound systems. We don’t even get funding from the school (my school’s clubs don’t rly get funding except sports)
I did a collection of short skits with my friends, there was this one guy (alan, I will call you out I hate your guts) and it made doing scenes with him a nightmare, but I got to hit him with an umbrella while he wore a bucket on his head for a scene so it all worked out
We absolutely love a multitalented and dream sharing queen.
LOVE seeing this side :’) please post more about your musical theater experiences and peeps they all seem so sweet (‘: love you and love to see you’re flourishing
I’m deeply in love with Kianna

"alright annnd we forgot everything" literally is such a theatre mood though

im so excited i got picked to be JD in our production of heather's this year!
Ugh i'd love to be JD but im a girl (i swear i could pull off a lesbo JD lol)
Love heathers

Good job!!
IDoStuff which musical 🙃
Yess Kianna... we love a multi-talented queen💕💕💕🙌
Oh my god kianna is their a recording of the play

“i forget what we just learned” is the BIGGEST musical theatre mood

Favourite part 4:52
So beautiful. Voices synced so well! I can't even, Kianna😍😍💯
I have always wanted to be in a musical, I watch Alexander Hamilton and legally blonde!!! Just love that stuff!!!
The audition process is the worst part for me bc I HATE not knowing what’s gonna happen or when
This looks so good! Your Aquarius is beautiful, Sheila sounds really great and that few seconds clip from Walking in Space GOSH 😍
Omg this is why i love musical theater
WOW this video makes me wanna join musical theater!!! It looks so fun and you're being yourselves and sing like wow
Being in a musical is fun and games until there’s a malfunction during a show or the infamous tech week.
Kinda late but in one of our performances a curtain caught on fire.😂 I'm glad I wasn't on stage in that scene, it was scary enough backstage
@@mowesrik holy sh-omg that's absolutely horrifying to even think about!
One time I was in the sound of music and for one song we didn’t have music
Katie at 4:25 lowkey looks like Shannon Purser. Her level of excitement is evrything.
this budget really JUMPED out huh
Omdsss. I’m so shook by how amazing this was. It just gave me a while love for theatre I didn’t know I had 😭😭
i'm the guy in the back headbanging 3:25
okay go off kianna.
As a theater kid, i can confirm this is indeed what being in a musical is like.

I love the energy of theater people literally the most fun people everrrrrr and I’m totally the black guy going to church in the back💀💀💀
I just can’t wait to see you staring in movies!!! I can see the headlines already! 💕
I’m in wicked and I’m having full day rehearsal and it’s gonna be lit

We sang Aquarius in our 8th grade chorus performance lol. It went horribly.
I’ve been in musical theatre ever since middle school and IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VLOG FOR FOREVER IM SO PROUD OF U
Omg this was beautiful Kianna❤️❤️I’m crying rn I feel like a proud mother😭 you were amazing sweetie✨✨
I’m sorry that harmony at 5:13 is breathtaking and made me emotional!

this is so accurate! this year is my third year of doing (musical) theater, and my high school is doing legally blonde! it’s a bit different this year, for me at least, because it’s my freshman year.
here are the shows ive been in!
• high school musical - kendra + thespian ensemble + “rebel” ensemble
• alice @ wonderland - cheshire cat
• willy wonka and the chocolate factory - violet
• legally blonde - winthrop
and then once the show is over, everyone getting out of makeup backstage while singing their favourite part of their favourite song over and over
I got goosebumps when you were lifted😩❤️
