    I love these kids! They’re talented, committed, and they did this old musical with total sincerity. I did Albert in my high school 55 years ago (!) and this made me cry for happiness that these wonderful kids performed it so well. We had a Kim with a glorious voice, too. Both she and I went on to long (I’m still going at 72) and happy careers as classical/musical theater singers and I hope many of these performers will do so too. Thank you!

    • @tippingtophat4012
      @tippingtophat4012 7 років тому +28

      @Sarah Recichard : Back in around the 1950s to 1960s, people would" get pinned" , which ussualy meant that a boy friend would give a girl a pin do show kind of an act of love and to show he wants to be boyfriend and girlfriend. It was the start of them " Going steady " which bassicaly means they are dating.

      @The D I played him when I was 15 back in 1981. I thought I was good but the kid who plays him here is better! I had fun except that some of the other kids with that theater group called me Harvey for almost two years afterward and I didn't like that. Looking back now I see it was a compliment.

    This has always been my favorite number in the show. Saw a Broadway revival not too long ago and this is better! This is closer to the film version, but definitely projects the zeitgeist. The kids are GREAT! Thanks for posting.

    Harvey was actually bolder than me. I just sat next to the phone and stared at it without ever picking it up. At 3:54 I like how they start doing the charlston. They also did this in South Pacific when singing "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair" at least when they performed it on Letterman. Same era. Anyway, I'd be all smiles if I was in the audience. For one, holding a telephone receiver to your ear is so nostalgic, and then to reminisce that this was such a big part of the dating ritual back then.

      It sounds like a vocal coaches direction to "not yell." My guess. This was brilliantly performed, directed and choreographed. This is from a theatre professional.
