Just reminding people that these performers haven’t been on stage since March so yes the vocals might not have been up to their usual standard but give them a break! Just trying to put a few smiles on theatre go-ers faces, I don’t see the problem. Also it’s a jukebox musical, that’s the whole reason they do their own version of songs that were in the charts! Just like mamma Mia uses abba songs and the jersey boys uses frankie valli songs👍🏼
I am literally not not the biggest fan of musicals; I had the absolute privilege of seeing this show on Friday and I COULD NOT stop smiling. Phenomenal work
A lot if people do not understand that this is a jukebox musical and that they haven’t performed since March and this also isn’t the actual set for the musical…
this is the actual cast, i went to see the show in london and some of the people there preformed, but i don’t at all see the problem with them preforming due to covid if they haven’t come in contact with it, i just thought i would correct you in the fact that it is the cast
Just a reminder for the Comment section 1 - If ya don't like it Keep it up yourself this year already sucks and spreading hate Isn't needed 2 - It's a jukebox musical - They Don't sing original songs if your gonna hate on this You BETTER not be fans of stuff like mama Mia Cuz They fit in the same catagory 3 - These people haven't performed in months They Won't be at their Best Thanks if you listened and remember what's the point in being hateful!!

Sorry but who are you to stifle opinion? People are allowed to voice their thoughts. If that upsets you, don’t read the comments snowflake.

It was lovely seeing this wonderful cast get some prime time exposure. Shame some people are too thick to see past an underwhelming performance by people who haven’t been on stage together in almost a year and had a day to rehearse. That’s fine though, more tickets for actual theatre fans when the show reopens.
@@TheRock-dp3vh They’re one of the most popular shows on the West End with a cast made up of favourites from other shows. They will have absolutely zero problem selling tickets, I can guarantee you that. Strictly fans claiming they won’t see it when they had no intention of ever going anyway is absolutely irrelevant. Let me be clear - this was one underwhelming performance born out of extreme circumstances. That is not how they perform usually.
Ever since I stumbled across the trailer for this musical sometime last year I have wanted to see it - love the concept of it and loving the diversity within the cast.
I went today... It's beyond amazing. The cast, the crew, the audience everything and everyone are connected. I go to shows often, but this was electric 😄
@@ted4959 you do realise that one of the writers of &juliet wrote or co-wrote the songs in the soundtrack right? They are technically his songs he just changed them up for the musical 🤷🏼♀️
One of the best musicals I've ever been to see! Saw it in Manchester before it opened properly and still listen to the soundtrack! I love it so much ❤️❤️
@@brenner8032 If I'm being honest today's performance seemed to me less than impressive in many ways, I was just excited to see them perform again because I've seen them live (much much better). I think that even their spontaneous bus performance was better where they sang I Want It That Way lmao
Such a great feel good musical! Saw it twice because it was so much fun. I didn’t realise they performed on strictly. I booked tickets once Jordan’s run on Heathers was over
Loved their performance! They did amazing, especially since the show has been on lockdown since March. Also, I may or may not try to learn this choreography.
If they are the best fit for the role and brings out the best of the character sure. The casting of actors to roles should be based on their abilities and talent bringing that character out rather than based on what ethnic group they come from.
@@aaronbrown7217 True but there are lots of talented diverse people who could do amazing in roles. I understand it can not be all the time. I just wished that black/asian actors/actresses got appreciated more. Stay safe
PSA that TV sound guys can't do live musical theatre for shit 🙃 Miriam has an absolutely *insane* vocal and she was done dirty with that treble. Chances she's been told to reign in the power she puts into projecting to the back of a theatre because she might blow the mics/speakers so she's transitioned to 'head voice' instead of 'chest voice' to pull it back causing it to sound more breathy and light. Jordan sounded fine because male so typically deeper range and less treble to destroy his sound. The dancing was great though. The show is phenomenal. Go see it and be blown away ♥️
Can I just say a big well done to kirstie she doesn't know me but due to her injury she has had a really a hard time recovering especially with covid and I am so proud of her to see her do what she loves on that stage Well done kirstie xx 🥰
why all the nasty comments?? just be a decent person and be nice. these are REAL people!!!! no one is forcing you to go see it. if you didn’t like the performance then that’s that, just move on with your life. personally i’m chuffed &j is getting the recognition it deserves (let’s not forget miriam won an ACTUAL olivier!!!!) and i enjoyed seeing all these lovely people on my screen. great job everybody!! also go follow grace (ensemble girl in the pink tutu) on youtube bc she’s amazing :)
For the love of.. some of you in here are absolute idiots. 1. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN IN THEIR PERFORMANCE SPACE SINCE MARCH, 2. This thing is called a jukebox musical, the writer of the songs used wrote it himself and 3. BE RESPECTFUL TO THOSE OF US WHO LOVE THIS MUSICAL AND ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED
Y'all are talking about people being mad at this, but the only thing I'm seeing is people being mad at other people for being mad. I haven't seen anyone mad at the actors or performance.
@@musicdude5600 it's a jukebox musical, the point is creating a feel good story from other songs, would you be hating on mamma mia for doing the same thing?
it's amazing! don't be put off by this performance, i will admit this is one of my least favourite songs but there are a lot of better ones in the show!
@@ruth-qf9od I agree!! It absolutely fantastic! Don’t let this put you off! They haven’t performed in ages so this is not a reflection on the proper show
@@Hunter-gg1et may I remind you Sound of Music was in no way original, it was a real story? Les Mis and Phantom, both books? Joseph, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita?? Many musicals are not original concepts when they grace the stage, because they’ve existed in some other form elsewhere
@@tommaxwell4470 Take into account that they were not in their actual stage, and with the current circumstances they barely had any time to properly practice, not to mention that they haven't done the show since March. Having seen the show I can tell you that it's much more exciting and professional up-close, the way it's intended to be seen, and there are some great experienced actors among the cast, if you wanna look them up.
I have to agree. Really nasal vocals, and since when did just singing Ariana Grande and the Weeknd count as a musical? Couldn't they come up with anything original?
@@camillast8498 first off non of these performers have been able to perform for seven months so of course the vocals will be a bit off. they went from singing a full show eight times a week to being in lockdown for six months so the vocals are going to sound different. secondly it’s a jukebox musical meaning a musical with songs by other artists instead of original songs. it’s really not a new concept, another example of this is Mamma Mia using ABBA songs, because in case you didn’t know none of the mamma mia songs were written to be performed in the show. and lastly it’s a really ingenuitive and unique musical so you might want to learn more about it before you trash it for not having originally written songs. like seriously, this is one of the top musicals in the west end right now so if you can’t appreciate newer shows like this then i feel really bad for you for what you’re missing out on.
@@camillast8498 this song is from the musical &Juliet where they use a lot of iconic pop songs so it does count as a musical, also their vocals aren’t the best since they haven’t performed since march
@@camillast8498 the musical uses songs written by Max Martin as it is a jukebox musical. If you’re asking that, then why do songs by ABBA make a musical?? 🙄
Am I the only one out here that couldn't stand this! So many other good musicals to choose from. Singing a well known pop song as part of a musical. I guess it's been done before but to Romeo and Juliet. If they did Dire Straits song it would have been better. Rant over!
& juliet is such an amazing musical! it’s a jukebox musical just like mamma mia. and please remeber that these performers haven’t performed since march. it takes a lot to get on the stage with not much rehearsal and 8 months off. so yea it’s just you sally.
Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. Most people didn’t enjoy it. Just look on Facebook and Twitter. Just a few crazies on here defending it and attacking anyone who critiques it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and they need to learn to respect that.
it’s called a jukebox musical meaning none of the songs used are originally written for the musical. it’s not a new concept jukebox musicals have been around for a very long time. look at mamma mia. and it doesn’t mean that they’re “unoriginal” or “stealing other people’s songs.” i mean when you really look at it using a variety of different songs together to tell a new story is in its own way more challenging and ingenuitive than writing original music.
You try training in singing dance and drama for years with no rest, being on a stage for 9 shows a week for weeks on end, battling with injuries mentally and psychically but still winning established awards in their field and then you can say this to their faces instead of hiding behind a screen
@@carawatterston4401 Stop copying and pasting the same comment. People are entitled to their opinions and honestly I thought it was pretty bad too but I understand the difficulties performers have undergone.
Because they have guests from shows sometimes? Especially when the industry is struggling they should be showcasing what there is on the West End at the moment, and this was one of the big winners at Oliviers this year x
I was disappointed with this. So many fantastic musicals out there. These new ones just aren't as good! Crap songs ect.. Sorry. But, on a positive note, I thought the actors/singers/dancers did really well :) WE NEED OUR THEATERS BACK 💔😿💔
Shows that aren’t very good often get nominated for 9 Olivier awards do they? This is one of the most popular shows on the West End and the “crap songs” were written by the most prolific songwriter of the last 20 years. It’s amazing how people are comfortable making themselves look stupid by talking about something they know nothing about.
@@KingCarlAmari Nominations mean nothing, if a performance is bad, people will say it’s bad. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and the majority of people on social media didn’t enjoy this at all. Personally, I thought the performance was extremely poor, pitchy and nasal.
@@dave3580 Ah the majority - famed barometer of common sense. If you read my comment again Dave, you’ll notice that I didn’t comment on the performance so I’m really not sure what point you are trying to make directly to me. Unless you are stating that people rubbishing an entire musical based on a single performance made under poor circumstances are valid in their criticisms. In which case, again, that is stupidity.
You try training in singing dance and drama for years with no rest, being on a stage for 9 shows a week for weeks on end, battling with injuries mentally and psychically but still winning established awards in their field and then you can call them amateurs if you think it’s appropriate

This is one of the most popular shows on the West End and the “crap songs” were written by the most prolific songwriter of the last 20 years.
It’s amazing how people are comfortable making themselves look stupid by talking about something they know nothing about.
@@KingCarlAmari Nominations mean nothing, if a performance is bad, people will say it’s bad. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and the majority of people on social media didn’t enjoy this at all. Personally, I thought the performance was extremely poor, pitchy and nasal.
Agreed very disappointing.
@@KingCarlAmari The singers were out of tune. You can’t call people stupid for noticing that...
@@dave3580 Ah the majority - famed barometer of common sense.
If you read my comment again Dave, you’ll notice that I didn’t comment on the performance so I’m really not sure what point you are trying to make directly to me.
Unless you are stating that people rubbishing an entire musical based on a single performance made under poor circumstances are valid in their criticisms. In which case, again, that is stupidity.
Last time I checked, loud nasal screeching doesn't count as singing.
Come on Strictly, what were you thinking bringing these amateurs on? They sound like they've all got pegs on their noses.
You try training in singing dance and drama for years with no rest, being on a stage for 9 shows a week for weeks on end, battling with injuries mentally and psychically but still winning established awards in their field and then you can call them amateurs if you think it’s appropriate
Juliet is being played by Miriam-Teak Lee, who won an Olivier Award for her role. Far from amateur!
Not gonna took about how they haven’t performed since March
@@carawatterston4401 Why have you copied and pasted your comment like fifty times on here?
@@ca9295 Okay, but how am I blaming other people? And for what? I thought they did well and I'm looking forward to seeing the musical.
This was so bad.

Not for me but that's just me. Didn't help that she was very poor.
Yeah quite an irritating scene...
Ok dancing and the songs are great, but I am not watching this play. We have too many shows with this issues.
disappointing show, part of the problem of musicals declining in quality these days
Talented cast with terrible songs 🙈 sorry
Forswear it sight!
For I ne'er saw true banality till this night,
Woke af
