When I saw it on tour, at 1:05:17 after Shakespeare did his tap, someone in the audience cheered and right before Nick started his he looked right at the audience member and pointed at them and said "NO, no." And continued to tap. It was the most hilarious thing ever.
I think it's because when we see it, we also hear the other singers tapping before singing "brighter than the rest of us, now you are the best of us", but we don't have additional context of more tapping to give our ears more of a hint when listening to the soundtrack. I thought it was claps and thigh slaps too.
We're sitting And watching people read Shakespeare We're watching people read Shakespeare We're watching stupid people Who like to read Shakespeare read Shakespeare
They’re not pockets. Christian said in an interview that when they were first made, most pants had holes in them so..they just... yeah. Anyway, it showed ‘masculinity’. It looks weird now though.
Old comment, but they were meant to show status and how rich someone was. People who didn't have cod pieces were obviously poor and the ones who could afford the big, bedazzled ones were rich. The king obviously had the biggest one in the land. Shakespeare having the bigger cod piece literally illustrates that he is more highly regarded, successful and is basically higher in society than the Nick. As for the white collars, the collars were used to absorb sweat and dirt to prevent clothes from getting stained.

I was at Brain's last show, and when he made his first entrance omg applause happened for like 5 minutes. It was amazing. He just stood there taking it all in. That is what I do in all of my shows when I have a funny line. XD Good times.
“raise a glass” is a general term, hamilton didn’t create it Hamilton is great but im tired of new theatre kids thinking everything is about Hamilton, theres nothing wrong with Hamilton but i hope you’re not like some “theatre fans” who watch Hamilton and then never watch musicals again and still have the nerve to call themselves theatre fans
36:45 i was watching “tap dancing eggs the musical” and when nick said this line, he didn’t say luke, he just made some noise of forgetting. this has me fully convinced that rob forgot his line, and that makes it all the more funnier imo.
Precious Gregory Avenue Q was at 26:38, pretty much the whole bit at 26:50 was Les Mis, I think he mentioned Seussical at 29:52, On the Town 29:57, Chicago 30:09, Rent 30:21, Annie 30:34, Pippin 33:47
This show is slightly different than the other bootleg. Is this previews. It has some lines that weren't in the other one, and some were in the other that weren't in this.
Me too! I’ve just discovered this musical as of January 31st this year when a local high school theatre department announced it as their summer show. I decided to watch this play so I could be able to audition for the production. Since watching it I have fallen in love with this show.
I've seen this musical 3 times and will go again any chance I get. Fabulous perfect storm of writing, composing, dance and acting. Thank you for this! It will keep my longing abated til I can experience it live again.
I have a felling that, if this show was ever made into a TV film, that Mel Brooks would have a blast playing Shylock. I mean, God, that role looks tailor made for him!
I love how they made a reference to little shop of horrors. Its one of my favorites if you cant tell already, but it was just so neat. Especially since Christian got to be in it 😂!
[ ] I consider it to be different for each person like Nicks villain is Shakespeare and Nigel’s is Brother Jeremiah and (in act 2) Shakespeare’s is Nick
Objectively speaking, the antagonist is the person who is the obstacle to the protagonists goals, so shakespeare is the antagonist while nick is the protag
This is one of the perks of your favorite musical not being super popular. The bootleg stays up for longer than 2 days on youtube
Miranda Rodriguez right! I had to download other bootlegs instead of using them on UA-cam, totally worth the risk of virus
Yeah Hamilton was one of the hardest to find. I got lucky and downloaded a bootleg of it the day it got uploaded
And 7 months
Thank you for posting!!!!
@@ZaharaGamez how do u download a bootleg
the guy laughing behind the camera the whole time during the performance of a musical is literally the cutest thing ever
charlie yes it's me IKR HIS LAUGH WAS ADORABLE
29:53
Then it's just pure dorkiness from there
IT IS, in so many bootlegs the filmer is like emotionless
one of my favorite things is hearing people laughing behind the camera! LOL
His laugh is so fuckinh cute oh my God 😂❤❤
When I saw it on tour, at 1:05:17 after Shakespeare did his tap, someone in the audience cheered and right before Nick started his he looked right at the audience member and pointed at them and said "NO, no." And continued to tap.
It was the most hilarious thing ever.
Same but it happened to me 😂
the tap so you know is faked, they aren't actually making the sounds
@@johnmarks4278 Nobody cares
Christian Borle mooooooves me in unreported ways
I wonder if he sleeps in the nuuuuuuuuude
Stop this isn’t fallsetos but yes
no. does not sleep nude. going on
JustaHumanLivinLife noice profile name
i would NEVER be late for dinner unlike SOME PPL
This show should never have left Broadway
@EllaDeMoore broadway honestly could do without Frozen.
If it didn’t leave broadway, I would have never seen it...
TheAnonymousWaffle There are shows on Broadway that currently have tours
Ella DeMore Frozen should just remain a movie IMO
"Don't be a penis, the man is a genius!" best line in the play!
My nomination goes to "That... is... the... ♫ Stupidest thing that I have ever heard! ♫"
That one and “Tobey, OR NOT TOBEY!!” in act 2
And "he can't pee"
“I think by now we sorta know you hate Shakespeare.”
"He cant pee"
tb to when christian borle had hair
When I saw this on Broadway, Christian borle got a standing ovation when he walked across stage without showing his face. Legend. 3:56
Before watching this I always thought the tap scene between Shakespeare and nick was them slapping themselves like that scene from the spongebob movie
Chris Hansen shit same
same, i thought they were playing pattycake
Saaaaaame
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I think it's because when we see it, we also hear the other singers tapping before singing "brighter than the rest of us, now you are the best of us", but we don't have additional context of more tapping to give our ears more of a hint when listening to the soundtrack.

I'm not even mad about this guys giggles, they give me the will to live.
imtired same
Im a straight guy and I feel you lmao
Is there a pun there?
His giggles make me gay
he’s adorable 🥺
Portia and Nigel's first meeting is literally theatre kids everywhere
Kaley Elizabeth Hutter true
Ok honestly YAS I WAS JUST LIKE OMG LOL
TRUUU
Kaley Elizabeth Hutter omg the most realistic thing everrr
TRUUUUUUUUUTH
I just watched Legally Blonde, so it's strange seeing Christian Borle in this😂
Same though, like he goes from American modern to William Shakespeare
And then there’s Marvin...
@Goodest Cat 🤨😧
NO BECAUSE I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED LEGALLY BLONDE 5 MINUTES AGO
39:20
Honestly by the look of this fandom the only lustful desires here is everyone crushing on the dude who plays Shakespeare
oh crap im a failure HIS NAME IS CHRISTIAN BORLE YOU UNCULTURED-
Chris is cool
Also the bottom jokes
I Love the Way and Bottom's Gonna Be On Top
Aka Christian Borle...
I can’t get over Christian tap dancing out of the scene
1:06:49 HAHA IT GETS ME EVERY TIME
Christian’s fake accent is actually soooooooo good like damn
soothsayer: predicts what musicals are like to a T, performs an impressive complicated song and dance number
also him: OMELETTE yeap that's it
Nigel is so precious
Also Shakespeare was savage before it was cool
Christian's belt at 51:39 is INSANE
Steph Piano I knowww I replayed it like 10 times
in case anyone was wondering that's a freaking G#4.
"I hate Shakespeare, I really do. Unlike the rest of you, I hate Shakespeare!"
Hats Off we really wish you'd take him more seriously
it's weird how he holds his quill :/
and why does he have to write like that?
We're sitting
And watching people read Shakespeare
We're watching people read Shakespeare
We're watching stupid people
Who like to read Shakespeare read Shakespeare
Every GCSE student ever
The guys laugh in "A Musical" makes me die everytime it's sp cute.
The Bottoms brotherly love is so cute tbh like sibling goals
when the laughing guy says "oh brother...goodness" after "a musical" i almost died it was so cute
Christian is SO pretty
itsbardtobethehard I love your name!😂
Anna Brooks thanks😂

"A musical" is hands down one of the best, most creative, beautiful musical numbers to come out of theatre in years.
that choreography has me choking
(in a good way)
Do you need CPR?
20 minutes in and i can tell Nigel is going to be my fave
yup, he is
No, shakespere bc Christian is ❤❤❤
What’s the actors name? o:
@@jessieg58 John Cariani
Nigel is my fave too
WHY WERE CROTCH POCKETS/COD PIECES CONSIDERED FASHIONABLE
goldenfinchh Well I keep thinking they are hard ons 😂
@@yummylemons172 I mean, that's what they're supposed to look like
They’re not pockets. Christian said in an interview that when they were first made, most pants had holes in them so..they just... yeah.
Anyway, it showed ‘masculinity’. It looks weird now though.
Because that was the fashion then

Christian's arms should be shown more
Not me flipping my lid every time Christian says or does ANYTHING as Shakespeare. How was he legally allowed to be that hot?
32:35 ensemble hands Brian the headshot the wrong way and he messes up hahahahah
Joaquin Dorado I love that so much every time I watch- shows even the professionals make mistakes.
A couple years ago I got to see this show with the original cast sense we didn’t get tickets to Hamilton. It was such a great night!

participeyton omg so relatable thats me and my friends xD
Did they seriously just have a tap dancing battle
Yes, yes they did
Bless John Cariani’s sweet soul
Whizzer’s Pants your username oh my god
Whizzer’s Pants love your name lol
This choreographer is the greatest human to ever have existed
the guy that keeps laughing somewhat reminds me of thomas sanders
notdarylsalinas TRUE I didn’t think of that
perks of loving a small musical: It's for 2 years
I can't believe they referenced Little Shop of Horrors, that's my favorite musical!
when do they reference it?
Right before the soothsayer predicts Hamlet.
that lowkey burn on chess the musical has me physically sobbing,, im hurt
Tyler Graybill I was cackling
*Jason lays chess piece on whozzers grave* wH E E ZE
the only way to sob is physically wtf
Tyler Graybill when was it
imalrighty 59:40
1:06:50 Chris just fucking tapped outta there and I cAN'T STOP LAUGHING HELP
thank you! this made my day. (but also damn you, I cant stop rewinding)
AmeliaPanics IM DECEASED
THANK YOU FOR NOTICING TAHT BECAUSE THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! I CANT STOP LAUGHING!
AmeliaPanics he's just like ha yeet gonna go try and out write you gotta blast
Christina Heng 🤣
1:06:48 Oh my god, Christian Borle is giving me life here
Every time Portia and Nigel interact it gives me new cavities- it's so cute!I want someone to geek out about literature with
When Nigel walks over and goes “I feel better nowwww” is so cute omgggggg
Timestamp

Raise a glass to omelet
Christina Heng ayyyy, Hamilton reference
@@Kalebryee Hamilton didn't exist when this came out though.
Vincent Baskerville every new theatre kid thinks everything is a Hamilton reference and it’s annoying.
@@preciousreyes420 Well, true, but I believe it's fine so long as Hamilton isn't the only show they're planning to watch or something.
“raise a glass” is a general term, hamilton didn’t create it Hamilton is great but im tired of new theatre kids thinking everything is about Hamilton, theres nothing wrong with Hamilton but i hope you’re not like some “theatre fans” who watch Hamilton and then never watch musicals again and still have the nerve to call themselves theatre fans

the thomas nostradamus part makes me laugh every time asfdgdg
why am i watching this instead of doing anything productive
ironically, if you drop the h in a modern london accent hamlet sounds a bit like the american of omelette
Watching this *is* productive
You have been conned by capitalism to think that something has to be productive to be a worthwhile use of your time.
I want to see Ben Platt as Nigel, is that weird?
Galactic Goose heck no, he'd be awesome as him!
Galactic Goose yeeeeeeeeeeee
Not a fan of Ben Platt, but his voice is phenomenal.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
That actually would work
DO NOT TOUCH THE MONEY BOX!!!!
too late
I pray that this never gets taken down
The number. "It's a musical" is one of the best numbers I've seen on stage. Loved it!
This should be subtitled "The Codpiece Musical!"
3:31 "Yo he's the bomb!" my favourite bit
The references to avenue q, les mis, Chicago, rent, Annie, and on the town were amazing
there was also little shop of horrors in there
Mia Andreatta Was that pippin at the end of the song??
Where was which!? Thanks xD
Precious Gregory Avenue Q was at 26:38, pretty much the whole bit at 26:50 was Les Mis, I think he mentioned Seussical at 29:52, On the Town 29:57, Chicago 30:09, Rent 30:21, Annie 30:34, Pippin 33:47
A Chorus Line?
You are a god thank you your work is appreciated
I love how youtube just recommends me these things
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We saw this original cast on Broadway, and it was so good to see them all again! Christian Borle!!!! Love it!!
what if at 57:37 brian just........gently kissed christian’s nose
s m o o c h n
I’d ship it. So. Hard.
woah
nice

#congratsonhamlet
#YayOmelet
I'll totally watch a full musical of the black death, with the tap dancing grim reapers.
The costumes are so pretty!!! But they must have been so hot to dance in!
Ironically, “Will Power” reminds me of “Rum Tug Tugger” from CATS! 👍👍👍
This show is slightly different than the other bootleg. Is this previews. It has some lines that weren't in the other one, and some were in the other that weren't in this.
Whizzer yes and some songs too..
lines also change throughout shows too sometimes like will roland kind of alternates between kinky and hot in sincerely me from dear evan hansen
Whizzer Your profile pic has a happy boi
Shakespeare is Emmett from legally blonde
Mia Andreatta and marvin from falsettos
Its Christian Borle
He’s the holy, sexy, perfect, extraordinary, amazing, phenomenal, etc. Christian Borle.
Don’t forget Willy Wonka
Whatever he's performing in, the moment Christian Borle appears on stage, I start smiling. Huzzah!
4 years, and it STILL hasn’t been taken down. The power of the less popular musicals.
I'm kind of new to the fandom, who plays as Nigel Bottom, he is purely adorable
… and has the voice of an angel… John Cariani
"A Musical" is just as magical as I'd imagined.
"my religion is theater!" I felt that one to much for my own good.
20:04 omg me in any situation
I wished i knew this musical sooner :,,)) the choreography is so on point and songs are phenomenal wth!!
Me too! I’ve just discovered this musical as of January 31st this year when a local high school theatre department announced it as their summer show. I decided to watch this play so I could be able to audition for the production. Since watching it I have fallen in love with this show.
I also found out that the rights of this show were released back in January.
I've never seen something rotten, never heard the soundtrack, and I know nothing about it or the plot. Watching this tonight. Wish me luck
The fact that at 33:47 there is a pippin reference just made my life
i dont care that im watching this on my computer, i still screamed when Christian Borle came in
I've seen this musical 3 times and will go again any chance I get. Fabulous perfect storm of writing, composing, dance and acting. Thank you for this! It will keep my longing abated til I can experience it live again.
i live for the guys giggles, it’s adorable
Brian D'Arcy James is so cute in Right Hand Man 😍 and Heidi slays as usual
15:19
Has anyone managed to catch every reference in 'A Musical'?
3ChordsAndTheTruth honestly the whole thing is just references
There's a video out there with most of them
And not just ! Musical, there's references throughout the whole show :D
i love how brian is just dancing to a musical the whole time it's so cute
Heidi Blickenstaff is simply a queen
Bless. Thank you
benplattypus i see you everywhere
Thanks, i try.
benplattypus NICE PROFILE!
AHH THE DORKY LAUGHS ARE SO CUUTE
back in the day, Tim Curry would have been a great Will.
I'm curious. What theater was this vid recorded the angle is excellent.
Im still waiting for this to come to the UK!
Mia Bond saaame!
Same mate it looks so good
Same!!
There but New York as well.
Incase you're interested.. Birmingham repository theatre- October!! UK debut! hopefully things will be back to normal by then... !
Still many favorite underrated Musical.
hamlet becomes omelette, makes you think twice about listening to astrologers 😅
Loved this show when I saw it on Broadway .....
I have been in Love with Brian D'arcy James for years....He makes my heart sing!
Nathan lane would have been a good Nostradamus.
wicked4ever62442 lol I know the man who plays nostradamus. Funny thing is, he was Nathan lanes understudy in the producers.
Actually, he was Franz Liebkind in the original production of The Producers with Nathan Lane.
I have a felling that, if this show was ever made into a TV film, that Mel Brooks would have a blast playing Shylock. I mean, God, that role looks tailor made for him!
I love how there’s jokes for so many different people in this... my favourite are all the other musical references!
I love how they made a reference to little shop of horrors. Its one of my favorites if you cant tell already, but it was just so neat. Especially since Christian got to be in it 😂!
Who was the antagonist? I really can't tell weather it's Shakespeare or nick.
[ ] I consider it to be different for each person like Nicks villain is Shakespeare and Nigel’s is Brother Jeremiah and (in act 2) Shakespeare’s is Nick
Yes
Also *whether
Objectively speaking, the antagonist is the person who is the obstacle to the protagonists goals, so shakespeare is the antagonist while nick is the protag
I’ve never said this before about anything, but I think Nick is my dream role.
I think Ben Fankhauser should be Nigel
Redwolfpup yes please
Redwolfpup and that's the say I die. My fave playing my fave
PLEASE
I want to see Ben Platt as Nigel
YES PLEASE
