      •What A Lovely Breadstick• I recognized “Popular” because my friend really liked that song a few years ago, “If I were a rich man” because I did watch Fiddler on the Roof, “My favorite things” because i think in elementary or middle school we sang that song? “Let it go” (everyone knows that) “I can do anything better than you (or whatever its called)” because again my friend used to love that song, and that about sums up what I know.

      The joke was that he got the last one
      It’s a joke chill out
      Last year my school did Story Theatre and The Wiz
      And this one guy made both and in them they made sure to utilize his short height
      Whether from being picked up at every opportunity, to playing the fheccing G a t e k e e p e r
      There are just some rlly stupid gags but they’re really hilarious for some reason
      I too found it funny that he said Lipschitz
      Specifically that one
      If he had said any of the other ones it wouldn’t have been near as funny
      But then again I enjoyed the entire thing
      My least favorite part was how everyone laughed or commented or acknowledged everything except Good Morning Baltimore but hey
      That’s probably niche
      And maybe people won’t share that viewpoint
      Wow
      How scandalous

      Mya Der-Stepanian I’ve loved musical theatre since I was a child and had done theatre as well as singing lessons for years. I managed to get better control of my breathing but I still suck at singing. You can’t improve something that’s not there, and believe me, I’d give anything to sing well.

    • @constantstateofexhaustion556
      @constantstateofexhaustion556 5 років тому +66

      ​@Kevin Castellanos I don't even know how to respond to this. I've spent years working on my singing and breathing on a daily basis. Yes, there was improvement, but it's not the same. Some things are just not meant to be, but saying what you did really makes all the hard work people put into their dreams and is unsuccessful seem worthless.
      I have always had a thing for drawing. Was I good at it since birth? Of course not, but unlike my singing efforts, the hours I put into my art weren't fruitless and now I am studying illustration at university. Does that mean I've worked more on drawing? No. I've worked/am working very hard on both skills. Actually, I formally learned drawing for only a fraction of the time I did with singing.
      Yes, skills are a thing we develop and need to dedicate our time and effort to doing so, but some things come easier than others. I put so much work into art and there are results. With singing there were none. There are no excuses, it's just what happened.
      Also don't say "No one comes out of the womb gifted with a beautiful voice", because there are amazingly talented people. Sure, talent will only get them as far as a primary school singing contest and they still need to work on developing their skills, but what I'm saying is it's different for everybody so please don't tell people that their lack of success is their own fault. You don't know how much they've put into it.

      I literally read the words “it’s a hard knock life” and had flashbacks to my time as Pepper and the Star-to-be in Annie because I got terribly mixed up and wore my street clothes onstage and the director nearly killed me :)

      Ollie Embourne actually, many directors wont even consider you if you do these because unless you are Patti lupone or Sutton Foster or someone, you aren't ever going to be good enough to overpower all the million other people who have sung the songs

      Is 'Seize The Day' overdone? I assume 'Santa Fe' and maybe 'Letter From The Refuge, (perhaps 'Watch What Happens' ?). But I never assumed 'Seize The Day' was that popular.

    I keep seeing people saying, "wonder why they didn't do Hamilton/Heathers." Well I think it's because Hamilton wasn't very popular yet in April 2016 and Heathers was basically nonexistent, meaning that almost nobody knew about it. ( I'm sure some people knew about Heathers, but at the time it wasn't overdone)

    • @Chaneloweenz

      Heathers wasn’t nonexistent... both Hamilton and heathers were popular around the time and it was better because it was before all the tumblr people came in and ruined it
