    Stop this gives me hope as a highschool theatre kid because I didn't realize how well this musical could be PG-afied. My school just recently got a cyclorama for our last production, which would be PERFECT for the projections in RTC. What a wonderful performance :)
    Edit: THIS IS STUDENT RAN!!!?!?!?!??

    Oddly enough the PG versions of Ride the cyclone are all really good. It doesn’t feel clunky or cringey or any of the pitfalls censored versions of media.

      did we watch the same thing? when I saw a comment stating that this was student directed I was not suprised. I could tell that a mature, knoweladable thespian was not in charge of this show. Most of them were out of breath in every song and the acting was okay I guess. They could've done so much better if they had better leadership.

      @@neeisdum1221 The fun thing about opinions is that they’re different from other peoples. It’s better than all the other school productions of RTC that’s for sure, by a long shot, I just like the musical I’m not one to go into the acting in the musical performances for all the tech stuff. I just like enjoying musicals. I think they did a good job with the acting and singing. Let’s just agree to disagree OK.

      @@neeisdum1221 OP was talking about the adaptation of the play for a younger audience, not the specific performances of the actors! it’s high school theater, i don’t know what to tell you man 💀 the fact that it’s student-led is kind of the point: they learn responsibility and leadership skills. it’s not meant to rival the original production on any level. commenting on their performance skills (in a non-constructive way like this) is in poor taste, especially on a recording that they will inevitably go back to watch and probably read all the comments on. let's think before we speak, yes? (if you were part of this performance and you're reading this, i love you and i am very impressed 🫶)

    It's a student production. I don't expect and neither should anyone expect a broadway level performance. Nothing really stood out to me besides some of the interactions with the audience which is a fun touch. But the actor who played Ricky really stood out during Space Age Bachelor Man. If he could get some more directing on his acting, practice the song a little more (going over some of the notes), and do the actual lyrics when he's older (I laughed at his slip up not saying the censored lyric) so it doesn't feel so clunky. I could really see him peforming Ricky at an offical level. Well done!
