No one believed it.

Yeah thats because hes a good actor. Hes a gay guy who tries to be straight for a role. I dont understand how is funny to not feel in your place but thats what 'normal' under 110 iq people are I guess....at least that what my brother used to say.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT WAS SO FUNNY CAUSE HE IS SO MUCH GAY HAHAHAHA

Bcs he's too gay to play romeo

@@vinijauza8076 Yep, he is terrible gay.

Cause he is so much feminist for Tony. hahaha

well was its not considered bullying unless its more than once but it was really rude

@@melisalara8719 that is so rude and mean

Aye! I ain't a feminist and tbh I don't really like them, but come on man do you really have to be out here hiding behind your device being a bully and calling people stupid while you're here acting like a two year old?

True dat😎

nah fuck that if he wasnt evasdropping this would have never happen plus how are u gonna hint at your bf not to play tony knowing no 1 was gonna pick u. Im sorry but kurt sounds a girl and has the gayest face i ever seen and he excepts to play tony yeah fuck that

@@jailinwildetoo5509 You can't blame him for wanting to try at least. He has every right to audition for the part. And as bf it's incredibly difficult to tell your lover not to do something they clearly want very badly. It wasn't Blaine's responsibility to tell him that.

@@sakurafalls2468 Im not blaming him. he should tryout but you shouldnt tell your bf not to go for the role just because you want the part, thats selfish to do you should get the role fair and square, not because you told your BF not to audition like come on, and tell him what, that part confuses me

@@jailinwildetoo5509 you sound like a 5 year old you know that? I don't think you know anything about Shakespeare or history so don't act like a know it all if you're a dumb moron with no brain cells. Kurt may not have been great in that moment telling Blaine not to audition but your acting like a rude, unpleasant idiot.

Yes, but Kurt isn’t auditioning for Shakespeare. West Side Story is very different Romeo is actually supposed to be a very masculine role as well. Both of their acting choices were deliberately over-the-top, and THAT’s why this audition is funny

What did Rachel do? She wasn't being unprofessional she was acting

@@cierradunham4296 She started to laugh whenever Kurt went in to kiss her, as if the idea of /Kurt/ kissing her was absurd because he isn't masculine enough. She also starts breaking character and laughing before that a bit too.

@@kristie9582 I definitely blame Beiste, Emma, and Artie for Rachel breaking character and laughing when Kurt was going in for the kiss. She was getting a bit nervous while they kept laughing (very inappropriately) and some people can’t help but laugh when a bunch of other people are laughing. Rachel might just be one of those people. But the three directors were being really annoying laughing at this *teenager* trying to obviously work something out internally on stage to present himself differently on the outside. Very rude, immature and inappropriate. They all know what Kurt goes through there at that high school everyday. I agree with you though! I think he did great with R & J. Male actors back then were a bit more delicate and refined ❤️ he crushed it and actually so did Rachel ☺️☺️

Sometimes tho when you laugh at something it's hard to stop. I know it's unprofessional but i have laughed at things when I shouldn't and it's hard to stop

My point.

he sounds like a girl.

@@69nadyacole69 more like a preteen but there is nothing wrong with it

Dude this is a show.

Noya Israeli its a fucking character. Youre like one of those fucks who hated Miley Cyrus because she got a short cut. Bitch you aint shit about who are those people in real life! There will always be bad people and stupid too. Without them who will do the hard work?

Man like every comment I've read so far has been a salty one. Are people living on the beach now?

The show's treatment of the adult characters was the same than that of the younger characters. Will being extremely close to his students (e.g. asking them to perform at his wedding and helping him proposing to the guidance counselor) never disturbs anyone (appart from Sue, who was definitely right on this one). No surprise Beiste and Emma laugh at a 17 year-old when they're treated like 17 year-olds.

The one that shocked me most (besides Artie) was Coach Beiste. She knows what it's like. (At that point of the series, it was not canon that the character was actually a man named Sheldon Beiste -- so in the mind of the writers and of the actress, Beiste was a woman.) Coach Beiste knew what it is to be gender non-conforming. She knows what it is to suffer because you're a woman and people think you're a man and make fun of you for it and only see your masculinity and don't take you seriously (in a sport, for example). It was exactly the same with Kurt except that the gender were reversed. How is that different for Beiste to be laughed at because she's a masculine-looking woman, and for Kurt because to be laughed at because he's effeminate and tries to conform to a traditional vision of masculinity? How is that different from Coach Beiste wanting to be accepted as both a woman and a sports coach? Coach Beiste knows exactly what it's like. In this scene, she is the one who was out-of-character for laughing.

Because he wanted the lead

I think kurt wanted to be tony to help his chances of getting into nyada

@@sweetcheeses I know that, I wasn't questioning his audition, I was questioning the casting of him as Krupke (both in the show and by the show writers). I mean - Krupke is in four scenes, and he only has speaking lines in two of them (after the opening fight, and before Gee Officer Krupke - his non-speaking lines are at the dance and in the final scene when everyone's on stage).

@@mistressofthewicket I know, I don't get why the people who wrote this episode missed out on a golden opportunity of seeing Kurt play a role that was perfect for him and would've won Ove rate hearts of the audience in spite of not getting the lead. If nothing else, then I don't get why Blaine would say that "your officer krupke brought down he house" unless he was trying to be nice and just messed it up - Krupke isn't supposed to bring down the house, plus in the four scenes he's in he has only a few speaking lines in two of them, Krupke's superior Lieutenant Shrank has more speaking lines. Besides - there's a whole song dedicated to mocking Officer Krupke (ok not really, Gee Officer Krupke is basically a song about buckpassing but still), is it really fair to have the footballers who bully him mock him in another way? Not that we even got that song in this show though (the only musical Glee covered that didn't have it's own album, in fact they may have used the fewest songs from the musical in all their musical covers (7 out of 11, not including dance numbers, gotta say it was a little disappointing)).

If the Tony you saw looked and sounded like Kurt during his performance, then he was miscast. An effeminate man will always be wrong for Tony, who is supposed to be masculine and the co-founder of a violent gang. The guy in the 1961 classic film was miscast, as well. Here's hoping that Ansel Elgort will finally do the role justice in the upcoming Spielberg remake.

@@musicaltheatergeek79 Maybe they can cast Darren Criss like they did on Glee.

mika Canseco Yes poor Kurt :(

don't you mean Artie instead of Kurt since he was the one laughing at Kurt?

Seth Ronalds thanks! Editing it now

Ha?

i feel that exact same way... only when artie's being laughed at!

Apparently, they couldn't.

I always wondered that too, with ALOT of the scenes. Lol

Seriously how does anyone find this funny it’s Shakespeare and pretty good Rendition of it

BellA Loves the accent tho was fucking hilarious

Dacorian Campbell Exactly they didn't even have to treat him like that

Asia aye maybe but it wax kinda funny

No it wasn´t stupid hipocrite

Soooooo salty my dude. Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?😂

HJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Not really

I think it was across between Artie and Coach Beast's laugh

I still remember Kurt being extremely biphopic and Sam making jokes over Ryder being assalted just because it was his nanny (an adult woman) who assalted him, there's a lot of out of character moments on Glee, no wonder Glee has the "it's garbage but is good" tittle.

RIGHT ????

Yes, that would be CURSED

same 😂

Same

Same I mostly laughed at arties laugh in the beginning😂

Why though it wasn’t even funny?

@@jay-no9qq it kinda was but at the same time I felt really bad for kurt like he wanted the tony role so bad and they were just laughing at him😤

I love Sheldon Cooper

Elle and Kurt

That’s what I thought

Anya Conley no this is heartbreaking.

Nathan Bruno i know right

i think that was artie 🤣

it's hard to accept the truth 😭

I mean, for Tony sure, but tbh for Romeo he isn't too feminine I think so idk why they're laughing at this specific scene 🤷‍♀️ The audition is unfitting but not laugh-worthy

But Juliet should read 'virginal.' She's only 13 and inexperienced in the play. Santana has too much sex appeal and confidence.

I mean, I definitely expect more from the 2 full grown adults than from the teen boy ngl 💀

@@thekitkatlizard8661 Fair point. :-D But I thought, the teachers on Glee are often remarkably juvenile, so that someone like Artie can look like the adult in the room. And Artie should at least have some empathy with otherness and alternative ways of seeing/doing things.

Not sure how it is surprising she acted well throughout the series.

She is a great singer but she is ok at acting. I can only see her as Rachel every other character she plays it comes across unconvincing.

@@vannakinder352 I think that's only a problem you have because you are too used to seeing her as Rachel.

Believe it or not, it's called "Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet," from the 1968 film version.

Because West Side Story is Based on Romeo and Juliet with Tony being the Romeo character

@@bellaknightR597 Umm yeah, I know that. That still doesn't explain why he chose Romeo to portray manliness. After all, he had already auditioned for the part. This audtiion was specifically meant to showcase he could portray a masculine man. For which, I insist, Romeo is a terrible choice.

@@tbbcch1039 really, Romeo fought with swords and killed a man, I'll admit the outfit wasn't the best choice, but being Romeo is way better then trying to be some sort stereotype of masculinity where you (apparently) don't have feelings because that isn't Tony either, both he and Rome have more in common than you think, they can both be tough and sensitive depending on the situation

@@bellaknightR597 Romeo fighitng with swords and killing is completely irrelevant when he does neither in the scene Kurt chose. " but being Romeo is way better then trying to be some sort stereotype of masculinity ..." Maybe? But who said those were the only two choices? "Romeo have more in common than you think" I literally didn't say ANYTHING about them not having stuff in common. Literally all that I said was that, if you're trying to change the minds of people who already think you can't play a masculine role, then Romeo is a bad choice. That's all. I didn't say Romeo has zero masculinity nor that Tony has no sensitivity nor that auditioning as Romeo for Tony can't be a smart choice in another context.

@@tbbcch1039 look we're not going to agree clearly but can we agree that laughing him off stage was rude, unprofessional, and uncalled for?

But he’s auditioning for Tony in West Side Story

Rachel did but neither Artie nor the literal adults who were being mean to him ever apologized

danielle ryan I think it's because Rachel couldn't take the kiss seriously, let alone the judges. Not to mention Kurt playing Romeo

Pianist with Attitunes CJ Lynn ooh got you.. thank you

danielle ryan yw

Also because everyone was rude to him by laughing because they weren't taking him seriously.
