'What if tomorrow comes' is from the Team Starkid musical Black Friday. They post their original musicals for free on yt and they are amazing! You should really check them out. Maybe you've heard of Darren Criss, he is one of the founders.

⁠Black Friday is apart of three StarKid musicals that are all set in Hatchetfield and are all related. It’s in this order The Guy That Didn’t Like Musicals, Black Friday, and Nerdy Prudes Must Die.

I was so excited seeing it featured! Such an amazing musical! My favorite Starkid musical is “The Guy Who Doesn’t Like Musicals,” but Black Friday has some amazing songs!

@WillSolace27 Ай бұрын

The Black Friday one is a StarKid musical! It’s the second one in a trilogy, called the Hatchetfield trilogy. They’re all sort of horror-thriller/comedies. The whole cast is super talented, and they have their own yt channel. They do parodies and original shows and they’re amazing, you should definitely check them out!

Joshua Colley is incredible! His performances of The Confrontation as Valjean and as Angelica in The Schuyler Sisters are just brilliant! Aidan Gemme in Finding Neverland is also well worth a watch, particularly the song When Your Feet Don't Touch The Ground

great video! these Matilda videos make me so sad since I’ve played Matilda before and I miss it! I do remember the still and quiet theater after “everything everything issssssssss”

@treadingtheboards2875 Ай бұрын

The kids are very talented but you also need to have a musical director who knows how to bring out that talent, I've been involved with a few shows where the director / musical director totally failed the kids. When I was stage manager for a production of Les Mis in 2018, our musical director took our Gavroches, who thought themselves mediocre, and by the end of rehearsals the 2 kids were the stars of the show. 25 shows over 5 weekends taking turn about.

If anyone is interested, there was a documentary type show with that particular cast of Annie (starting with the casting process and going through rehearsals, etc.) can’t remember what it’s called. I will have to look it up.😊 Edit: OK, I just looked it up… it’s from 1997 and it’s called: Broadway’s New Annie The search for a star

👏 exactly 👏 this 👏 It is NOT just talent. It is SKILL. One is a blessing, and inherent quality... The other is WORKED for. The amount of times people tell me im talented (brag, but most people dont have an ear/eye for what talanted/skilled really is tbh. Cant really discern good, from GOOD if yknow what i mean) but the truth is i am of midling talent and a whole lot of singing, practice, and playing around to get where I am. Im not trained... I havent got great skill... But i have still worked hard. I agree so much with that comment. Skill and talant are differnt.

Back when I still did musical theater (more than 10 years ago now) we were all seperated into age classes. My group was then between 12 and 15 year olds. When our recital was coming up and our teacher was going to pick the songs we were going to perform, he first had us practice 'Food, Glorious Food' from Oliver Twist, but as we were a few weeks into practicing, our teacher decided it didn't fit the vibe of our group. So then he switched it up and gave us: Revoltin Children from Matilda. It was the best thing ever and we had the best time of our lives performing that number. So whenever I see the movie or musical, I am reminded of that performance we did 😂😂 (Ps. YAY! Starkid in a video!)

Is there no video of Tom Holland as Billy Elliot? He starred in the role from 2008 through 2010. Don't quote me on that, though. The only things I'm sure about are my soprano saxophone and judo. With those, I'm sure that I still have a lot to learn. Ouch, ouch, ouch. My leg really hurts today. I broke it in February. Well, I didn't break it. One of my judo students broke it for me. An orthopedic surgeon had to put it back together for me. Still, while I was watching this video, I wasn't aware of any pain. So thanks for the short reprieve.
