You are going to flip out when you get to “we dont talk about bruno” and “the little mermaid “. You’ll need to get a hat and hold onto it.

They did "My Shot" from Hamilton about the same time as they did these. They're dressed in period clothes. It is awesome.

I'm a huge fan of their top 10 videos like this. Two mics, 5 people, and an entire truckload of fun! I mean, I know we all notice how much fun they all have working together in the videos they do, how can we miss it? But, to sit here and see them "live" and see just how much fun they're actually having in the moment, how much they enjoy playing off of one another, and to see their reactions to one another "in the moment" is amazing. One of the things I've been enjoying about your reactions, David, is your commentary of the entirety of the performance: voice, visuals, arrangement. There are a few who will take small moments of each and point out things. You, on the other hand, do that for almost the entire thing. I appreciate, too, the way you give us resources to continue to delve into the music you're reviewing. It makes what you do unique and, IMO, very special. Another wonderful video, another really great time hearing what you think of the performance. Thank you for all the hard work, even when you might not be feeling the best.

you are right about Eli in les mis he would be amazing! For such a sweet guy he makes a great villain! ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My favorite ACA Top 10 from VP is their movie soundtrack one. Added bonus, Rob Lundquist (a tenor from Home Free) guests on that one! I don't know if anyone has told you yet, but Geoff, Layne and Earl have been friends since they were young when they started singing together in middle school. That's why sometimes Layne and Geoff seem to share a brain!

I love all their ACA Top 10, but my favs are villains and sidekicks, maybe the songs they picked? not sure. As always, they're amazing! Yes, please watch their Phantom of the Opera with Rachel, and pay attention to the camera shakes when Geoff goes low! I think you'll also enjoy some of their live numbers that didn't make it into studio versions, "Road Trip" and "The Chicken Song" come to mind. Oh, let's face it, you can't go wrong with any VP selection!

I really wish they’d bring in Tony as a featured guest once in awhile. I just love his voice. It’s also fun in these early videos to hear more of Eli’s lower register. Once Earl left he got tapped to be THE TENOR, and we don’t hear it as much.

Happy monthiversary! One of my favorite parts in the cartoon medley is the "my little brony" moment. Not only is J teasing Geoff with the pony but they changed the lyric there. They indeed did a full-length video of Seasons of Love, where VoicePlay (after Tony, before J.) were featured with AJ Rafael. I vote for Phantom! Tony had such fun with the production of that one, it may have been the turning point for him leaving the group as a performer. He even designed Rachel's dress. It might not be one of Geoff's favorites; he injured his left hand while they were building the set. A drill was involved. It's Layne's arrangement. Credits for the set construction list Layne, Tony, and "Geoff's mutilated hand."

Just discovered your channel through this video and I'm currently going through the back catalog. Just have to say I LOVE your reaction style. Genuine enthusiasm along with in depth analysis. Watch out Charismatic Voice! And I also rather enjoy you taking in a video in its entirety before breaking it down. I pretty much just watch Voiceplay and Geoff reactions, so if you keep reacting, I'll keep showing up. Great stuff! Can't wait to watch your channel grow.

Not a voice changer on that mic, no. It's the mic they use when one of the other guys sings bass during Geoff's solo parts. Bass and percussion need mics up close, while the tenors and baritones are loud enough to sing without a mic during these type of performances. Earl's low fry here needs a mic to be properly audible in the recording.

Happy one month-iversary!!! A whole month already??? Don't apologize for being sick! The fact you're still recording even with the head cold says a lot. Also, I love watching you geek out about the things you love - in this case music and musicals. Thank you for taking us on this journey! It's a fun one.

Love, love, love your reactions! I so look forward to them!! Thank you! Hope you get feeling better. Head colds are miserable.

Happy to see your reaction. I must admit that the aca- tops are not my favourite videos, but your obvious joy makes this great fun. Must go with Ellen here, wonder if you'll make it through Little Mermaid or Don't talk about Bruno without complete breakdown. Equally good as Hoist The Colour. Something to look forward to.😄 Chicago is my favourite. Don't know how many times I've seen that movie. You're right in that many of the snippets in different aca- tens are foreshadowing later videos. Now I long for your reaction to one the more pure harmony videos, like Tennessee Whiskey or Can't Make You Love Me.

Happy One Month-iversary!! Been here since like day 2 or 3 when your first one popped up on my feed and can't wait for lots more!

VoicePlay are so much fun. It isn't alway obvious in their videos but they really are a riot. I've never been to see a musical, never had the opportunity, but I see the films, was raised on Hollywood msicals. I don't know any of those cartoons, far too old, but this was fun nonetheless. You get to see some of J.None's humour in this.

You're so knowledgeable and your reactions are so genuine. I always love your reactions so much! Aren't they absolutely delightful!

You mentioned you’re a video gamer? Then you need to know they have done the Halo theme, “Enemy” from League of Legends and a Skyrim mash up of The Dragonborn Comes and the Skyrim theme. You’re welcome. :) As to some other comments you made…The opening riff here I think is just part of the Smurf theme slowed down. The difference you heard in the Scooby Doo theme - this is how I remember it *however*…I’m a bit older and the Scooby show I’m remembering was well before the ‘80’s. Late 60’s/early 70’s I think was when it was made. So they may be pulling from an earlier version of the show.

A very happy Anniversary David, looking forward to being here for many more! I adore these ACA top 10's, of course for the singing and arrangements but they're obviously enjoying themselves and the humour they bring to these is brilliant! And how good do they sound, just two mic's, one static camera in a living room? 🙂👍💜

Happy Anniversary! I didn't even notice this was nearly an hour. I saw you show up and I glommed onto it, enjoyed it, can't wait for you to do Phantom of the Opera.

Sorry you're sick, I hope you're feeling better now! I've always thought that "Fiddler on the Roof" was a Broadway musical, but when VoicePlay released "If I were a Rich Man/Girl", people who commented referred to a movie. I know you have a super long list, so forgive me for adding more to it..! 😊 However, I highly recommend it! Layne's wife wrote in the comments that he has been writing on the arrangement for years. Thank you for this one, and happy 1 month-iversary! We're so glad you're here to break down music and videos we love for us, and help us discover new ones as well!

I can't WAIT to see you react to their Phantom!! Its soooo good. Another great reaction!

Another great reaction and happy one month-iversary! Time flies, especially when you're having a lot of fun. Watching some of VoicePlay's older performances really shows how talented they were in the beginning and how much they have evolved as a group and the continued excellence they put into their creations. It's fun to see the same thing with Geoff on his solo journey. I really enjoy your personal stories and experiences in theater salt and peppered through out your breakdowns. It adds a lot of flavor. (See what I did there. LOL!) Please keep doing that. As for prioritizing what you react to, this is your channel, you decide. There are so many artists out there. Who knows, you may lead someone down their own rabbit hole of an artist they never heard of. I wouldn't even know VoicePlay existed if it wasn't for another channel, The Charismatic Voice. Other channels will do occasional polls for what to do next. Maybe that is something you could do. Or someone could sponsor a video, along the lines of buying you a coffee, as you said. Looking forward to see what you do next.

Happy Month-a-Versary! I love VP's Aca Top 10s because it's so fun to hear them "live". You're right that you kind of forget that it's not processed because they are all so talented. I enjoyed hearing about some of your experiences in theatre. Very cool. TMNT was my favorite cartoon when I was kid, but I did watch all of these to some extent with the exception of GI Joe. I did love Jem and the Holograms. I thought she was the coolest. If Phantom has been pushed up to the top of your to-watch list, then I am very excited. 😁 I just love that music so much, and VP's version, with some help from Rachel Potter, is fantastic in my opinion. Out of the broadway top 10 list it's the only one I've seen live, though I have seen other musicals live, like The Music Man, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma.... I hope by now you're feeling better, and here's to many more months to come. 😃

Happy Monthiversary! I actually did watch Jem (and the Holograms) when the cartoon was on TV here in the States. Was it a good cartoon? It had its moments. It was very definitely aimed at girls and "girls are cool", but since there wasn't a lot of that going on at the time, it was still fun. I've rewatched it somewhat recently and it was less good than my memories and nostalgia said it was. But I still have a soft spot for it. :) I loved so many of those cartoons and enjoyed them all at the time (some I just can't watch again... coughsmurfscough) If you ever get the chance to watch Beauty and the Beast on stage, do it. It's a great show. They have a number that is very Stomp!-inspired. Phantom should definitely move up on your list, as well as Little Mermaid! If you want to hear more from Tony (a bit more recently), he and Layne co-own Pattycake Productions and they do various musical videos there. Tony occasionally sings parts in those. Sometimes he is even on camera and in costume! (Bump in the Night is one where he is in costume in front of the camera.) When you have a bit of breathing space, you might watch some of their stuff. Besides Bump in the Night, The Villain's Lair is a lot of fun.

If you want to compare produced vs unproduced, look up their version of "Grim Grinning Ghosts"; they had the official version on YT 6 years ago, but there is a promotion version from 10 years ago in the bottom of their YT videolist.

I hope you are feeling better real soon, since I'm too far away to bring you chicken soup. Even when Voiceplay is doing something that doesn't make my favorite list, I still listen for the harmony, the artistry, and the eye candy. 😉😉😉 I haven't mentioned two more of their super silly pieces. Bang! and Butter, both with Deejay Young. Deejay has been in the national tour of Hamilton, Hairspray and Rent on Broadway. Also, Voiceplay's Queen Medley is outstanding, they tell a story using songs from Queen.

Happy anniversary!!! Broadway is maybe my fav of these vids. There are actually short bloopers of Earl at the very end of that one. I think after that, maybe sidekicks and there's another one that's a fav but I can't think of which one it is, lol. So much to react to and so little time in a day! We're here for it though!

Fantastic reaction and analysis as always. I'm from the UK (and an 80's kid) and I have only ever known them as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the song said that too. So it may be a region thing, not sure lol.

They also have a "Disney on Broadway" on Disney's KZfaq page. I suggest that you don't react to it, because it will probably get issues regarding copywrite. But do listen to it on your own! It's great imo!

Happy Anniversary David. Keep up the great reactions. Love you 😺💖

Glad you're sticking around. I really enjoy your analyses.

They HAVE a full cover of Seasons of Love! Well, they are featured artists, but it's great! It's with AJ Rafael (who I believe was in the Sing Off too, may have been in The Philharmonics, but I am not sure).

This was fun! If you’re looking for something a little different I would suggest Hu featuring Lizzy Hale doing Song for Woman. Hu is a Mongolian ban and they do some crazy throat singing.

Also, I didn't watch G.I.Joe but it was on one of the cartoon channels on sky, etc in the UK

David, hope you feel better soon! Still waiting on you to explore Home Free. They're different in style from VoicePlay, but just as wonderful with incredibly talented vocalists.

Regarding Belle reading the Book of Mormon, have you seen BYU Vocalpoint's B&B medley?

I was just re-watching your reaction, and I realized I don't see any comments that mention this, but Voiceplay DOES have a full version of Seasons of Love. It's one of the ones that isn't on their channel, so it is easy to miss - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q52Dms-Ttrm0cZs.html - Enjoy :D

I have not seen anything on broadway. & dont regret it at all.

Hi David, if you want to hear something really funny than please do a reaction video of Voice Plays song One Minute Musicals Miley Cyrus. It was written by Geoff Castallucci & is too funny not to share. It's one of their older songs & I don't think too many people know about it.. I love searching through some of their older songs because I always find something good.

If computer games are your thing they have done Halo and The Dragonborne Comes
