Not to brag or anything but my mom went to high school with Dave Malloy...
Holy shit really? That is amazing!
My mom went to high school with pink
Colin Burleigh MY CHOIR TEACHER GREW UP WITH AND WENT TO COLLEGE WITH HIM!!!!! HE SAID THAT THEY PLAYED WITH ACTION FIGURES TOGETHER
HOL UP
@@youcatface OM GLAB IT'S SOO COOL
HOLY CHRIST! The guy playing Anatole went to my high school!
HE IS GORGEOUS
Ariella Kahan-Harth he's so talented!
Ariella Kahan-Harth how does one get such good luck xoxo
This is so good! I especially loved the voice of the actress who plays natasha
woah Helene is gorgeous... also amazing performance guys!! The choreography is amazing, and all the singers are incredible :)
pierre's casting is perfec t i wish they'd at least given him "pierre and natasha"
i agree
i would've loved to see "Pierre"
i love Sonyas actress! Her voice is wonderful
"NATASHA, you're joking."
The girl playing Natasha is so good xjdmcndnsnns
Everyone’s talking about how Dolokhov and Balaga weren’t there... but what about my girl Marya?
Hi if The great comet ever comes back to Broadway I need the lady who played Natasha to be The Natasha on Broadway
She;s an AMAZING belter
Shazdeh's voice is amazing!!!!! Great job all!
i literally come to this video every couple of years because i love watching it
YOUR LETTERS IS SO GOOD IM
EVERYTHING IS REALLY GOOD BUT LETTERS HAS ME SHAKEN
I loved their version of Letters!
i got cHILLS watching this it was amazing!!!!
PIERRE SOUNDS LIKE DAVE
but... dolokhov ;-;
lillian gan he’s not very important
Fierce, but not too important
back after almost a year. this choreography takes my breath away.
Love the twisted storyline!
That part in letters when they read Anatole’s letters tho
wonderful staging and casting!! y’all did really good on cutting things down to fit your cast size and time slot. keep it up you guys!!
And how can Pierre be so lonely when he can move his hips like that? Christ!
Lmao woah there
Beautifully done and cast! My only issue is with Pierre. He has a lovely voice and a lot of potential, but could really use some work on his vibrato. But everyone has incredible voices and stage presence. Well done! 😊💕
Hey would you mind if I used your cutting of the music for a competition? We wouldn't steal any of your choreography and we would mention your name
By all means!
The singing is beautiful! They are all great for there characters
why were the names in the prologue in the wrong order?
The whole piece could only be so long, so I cut and rearranged some of the characters in the prologue to save on time!
Jessica Slaght Just a suggestion, you should've done major characters, not Mary and Bolkonsky
Nevermind.
For sure. Definitely wish I had time for all the characters, but since I wanted to feature "Letters" I figured it was important to introduce Mary. Plus, I already had this group of actors in mind and they fit into the parts so well! :)
Angelica Schuyler WORK WORK ANGELICAAAAAAAAA
Everyone's complaining about Dolokhov but where's Marya
Right??! I almost cried, then again that's an extremely hard part and there's no song that she sings that really forwards the plot, so idk.
But then again again, neither with dolokhov or balaga, so really anyone that doesn't further the plot is or isn't in letters (dolokhov did say a letter which I composed, but still)
This is so great!! Also, Shazdeh sounds like she would be a great Elphaba
This is so amazing!!! Feels like I'm almost there how into this I got from how mesmerizing the voices and choreography was!!!
Did you have to get Dave's permission before performing this? I'm wondering because I wanted to direct another work of his and wanted to know if he's open to college students producing his work
Hey Emily, this was just a few songs I cobbled together for a class showcase, not a ticketed show. I would definitely look into acquiring the rights if you're looking to stage a full production. Best! Jessica
Beautiful version! Too bad there wasn’t a rendition of Charming ;)
NaTaLie NaTaLie NaTaLiE
Why did you cut No One Else. Only the piano would have given me life
this.. is literally perfect.. I'm in awe this is honestly amazing
My goodness Jessica, your coreography was just perfect! It made the show!
i love this so much!!! you're all so talented
Natasha here is amazing 😍
Good god I love what you did with Letters. Brilliance.
Omfg y'all r gonna win this

This is awesome!!! I loved everything about it!!
Great direction!

at 7:22 lmao did they all drink the kool-aid?
Isn't the order Natasha, Sonya, Marya, Anatole, Helene, Dolokhov, Mary, Bolkonsky, and then Balaga?
yes, it is!!! but they did it in a different order to save some time since they had limited time to perform this
They sing so prettyyyy

Dancemoves hella cringey and yall need to learn how to blend together when singing as an ensemble cause I can hear many individual voices. This is really try hard. Yall have good voices but this whole thing is cringe
could you do better?
