actors acknowledging slime tutorials feels like breaking the fourth wall it feels so illegal 😭

An accidental run-in on a slime tutorial is actually what brought me into the world of Broadway. Christy Altomare’s last Journey to the Past in Anastasia still remains my favorite slime tutorial clip, even to this day! It never fails to bring me to tears💜

I gotta be honest- as someone who lives in Australia and will more than likely not go to NYC for years and years, especially now, I really appreciate the “slime tutorials”😂

Stumbling upon a slime tutorial is what made me a broadway fan, without them, broadway wouldn't be as popular with the younger generations

Two of my fave musical vocal choices: Sam Pauly as Katherine Howard in Six, when she literally sobs and gasps for breath after she screlts the end of “All You Wanna Do”, it stands out from every other person before her. And in Hamilton when Emmy Raver-Lampman famously optioned up as Angelica Schuyler during the last chorus of “Satisfied”, HOW?!

Still sad about not coming back. Ryan was such a great hans. The entire new cast was great.

This was literally the best thing I have seen in weeks. Now I must catalog “The Last Man to Ever Play Hans On Broadway” as one of Ryan’s titles.🤣

i personally love bootleg version of shows since i'll never get the chance to see them in person (I live in Italy) and here there's no show performance as they do in America. For example i'll never be able to see hamilton or heathers, wicked or les mis. I get that for performer it's a pain in the as* but for us international fans it's amazing

im sad and embarrassed to say that most if not all of the theatre content and knowledge and love i have is from "slime tutorials" as i dont have access to go watch plays :(

If Broadway could have a private livestream link, where people like me that's sickly, in Oregon who cannot just jump on a plane to see a show, CAN pay for a Broadway seat and watch the show through a go pro strapped to a wall up high so its not in the way.... More tickets sold, we pick the day we see the show. The wheelchair seats arent the best anyways, LAST LAST row, I didnt know there was a dragon on the ceiling when I saw the show in person, UNTIL I saw a bootleg. I saw people cheering at the beginning before the Orchestra started. I thought maybe an actor came out. Nope it was the dragon You know the MET does special streams, why not Broadway shows?

I feel like producers would make more money if they release pro slime tutorials. I saw the first broadway preview for Anastasia, have 2 versions of slime, and I still decided to see the tour performance. People will always pay to see the live version if they can afford it, but basically everyone can afford the streaming services that could distribute pro shots

I feel like Ryan reacting to other "slime tutorials" starring himself or just his own performances in general (if there are legal, like, TV performances on KZfaq) would be fun. Either so he can cringe at himself or give more commentary on what was going through his head at the time 😄

Brittney Johnson’s Glinda is so unique and so well thought off. Her Thank Goodness is full of nuances and I live for her choices. That woman literally said CHOICES

Hamilton is extremely popular and it also coincidentally has an official live video recording you can easily watch, what i’m saying is more broadway / musical productions should look into officially posting their shows to stream sites, it could bring in major popularity and income.

I was taken aback for at least a full minute because when Samantha said "bootlegger", I thought she had called this person a "bootlicker" and I'm now scream-laughing

Sam: *normal introduction* Ryan: I’m … … ✨ Ryan ✨

Petition for "c'mon gumption!" to become a new sam & ryan phrase.

5:08 i used this for my performance of elle woods and i didn’t tell anyone i was going to like scream ME so the reaction was so funny 😭

Being an irish theatre kid slime tutorials are like my oxygen!!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Team Starkid and some of their shows if you’ve seen them.

At the end there when Sam sings... I kinda wanted Ryan to just belt it back ANYWAY Great video you two! I loved it so much! I want to rewatch the Frozen slime again now....

You guys should see the last Brazilian Defying Gravity. The audience legit starts singing with her as if it was a concert!

I'm living in a country where Broadway musical rarely tour here, and I'm too broke to go to USA to watch the shows live. But slime tutorial is the one that drag me into the theatre world and inspire me to become a set designer. Not saying slime tutorial is legal, but it definitely give a view to those who can't go. In the future if I have the financial ability, I will definitely fly to USA to support the shows legally!! Love from Malaysia ❤️

I’m not just saying this because he could potentially see this, but the clip of Ryan singing “with a line of mean big brothers that goes OOOON FOR MILEEEEEEES” from Frozen is by far my favorite clip from any slime tutorial ever.

Can say "Slime tutorials" has helped me a lot over the years, especially during the time I lived in Northern Norway (I'm originally from there) you try and get to something theatre related when there's next to nothing, like at all, most of the year. Theatre should be more accessible, in every aspect!

Words can’t describe my love for frozen on broadway where Ryan and McKenzie play. Tbh Ryan played such a good Hans that I started to hate the fact that he had to be evil. Hans of the southern isles 4 ever

I already know Ariana is gonna be that exact some kind of belt-y Glinda. Like I'm almost 100000% they are gonna change the score to make her belt-y vs legit soprano.

Can we get a Legally Blonde revival ASAP so Ryan can play Emmett?!?

Day 1 (again): Asking Sam and Ryan to do a tier list on Off-Broadway Musicals.

No cause the whole “things that butter my eaggroll” thing is hilarious, just ryan’s reaction made me simply weeze. 2:19

Ryan's faces while lip-singing as Glinda at 11:03 and 11:22 are so iconic omg! Also, Sam is literally me while listening to Wicked! I get so entranced in the music too! Loved this video so much!

watching this soothed my guilt so much as an australian in a rural area slime tutorials r the only way ill get to see most of these shows n i feel guilty but i lovE MUSICALS

I think slime tutorials are the next best thing to those people who cannot afford or didn't get the chance to see a broadway musical. Personally i wanna see more plays but sadly, there's no proshots of such and if a musical IS available, its on a form of a movie (and its not bad, some are bad after watching the play). I wanna see the theater magic on stage.

I'm from the Philippines and it takes YEARS before we get to see a production of a hit broadway show. Either by a local company or an Australian company will visit us. Slime tutorials are the only way for us to keep up with new shows

So the “tutorials”of closed shows don’t bug me as much cuz how else am I supposed to watch Bonnie and Clyde or The Pirate Queen as many times as I want???? But I’m also a former usher in the Minneapolis theatre district (yay Orpheum!!! *high fives Ryan for being fellow Minnesotan* and phones being out was one thing I was on HIGH ALERT for when I was working. So I get the inner struggle of wanting theatre to be accessible, but also don’t film the shows people……

No access from the Philippines so I've been relying mostly on slime tutorials. Definitely willing to pay a premium to see a clear Heathers recording of Ryan's Heathers since those slime tutorials are hard to come by

As someone who lives in australia, 'slime tutorials' are my real only access to broadway. I loved how hamilton was filmed and put on a streaming service, slime tuts are really why i love theatre.

As I'm writing a musical, this channel resurfaced for me and wow has this quickly become my favourite channel of all time. I love your content. Thank you for brightening my day every day.

for someone that is from brazil, bootlegs are a way for us to get closer with this incredible broadway universe, mostly because it is very distant and many don’t get the chance to meet nyc.

pretty sure that ME is honoring reese's ME in the movie when she sees her name on the list. a great way to honor such an iconic moment that didnt make it to broadway!

She did a callback to the film and did the “me” from when her name is on the list. Effin brilliant!

the best recording of wicked I've seen was the last show in brazil where, during defiyng gravity the whole audience started singing together with the elphaba and honestly, chills every time I watch it

Without a heathers slime tutorial I wouldn't be as big of a fan as I am hahah

"I don't edit myself for the people". ICONIC

sam and ryans moral dilemma about energy gets me every time 🤣

We love a good slime tutorial especially from Ryan

I literally just got into some musicals fandoms about a month ago, and the only one I had a chance to see was SIX, but others I had to watch the slime tutorials. If I ever get a chance, I’d go to something professional but as of now, there’s not too much 😢. I literally missed Wicked too when it came to near where I live.

If they started professionaly recording shows for the people that can't ever see the show (they live too far away, it's too exspensive, the show shuts down, etc) then slime tutorials wouldn't be required. I've been able to enjoy Broadways shows that don't exist anymore this way, or see the original broadway cast, etc. But if I ever have the chance to see a show, I still would go and see it in person. I've watched both the OBC and Ciara Renee's runs of Frozen's slime tutorial and yet I'll still go see it in person on tour this summer because live theatre is a whole different experience to youtube videos.

Loved this video! I had the honor of seeing Ryan and Jessica (March 1 2019) in Wicked and it was glorious! (during "As Long as You're Mine" a teenage girl behind me whispered "scandalous" to her friend it was so funny lol) Thank you for making my first broadway show one I'll never forget! :)

This sounds weird, but some of Ryan's performances got me to love musical theatre and broadway like I do. This sounds dramatic, but he go time to explore new horizons, and now I am Jo in little women in a production of little women, and it has been one of the best memories of my life! I love you both!

I love how both of you lipsynced for your life at 11:25

What I love about Haven Burtons choice is that its a reference to the Legally Blonde movie when Elle sees her name on the list for Callahans internship and she says "MEE!!"

The most deepest video intro ever

The way you described slime tutorials was really amazing! While yes it is completely illegal and actors don't like it, it also opens the very closed world of theater to a massive audience. As many others have said, I wouldn't be a broadway fan if not for slime tutorials! While I will never film one I appreciate the people who do, this allows me to see plays I would have never gotten to see before!

A Broadway Slime Tutorial Reaction should be a series on the Sam and Ryan Cinematic Universe

I watched the last show of RENT on Tour in Chicago and I knew it’d be a fun performance to watch when Roger and Mark accidentally broke the phone cord in the very first phone call and they still had to talk through it

As a theater kid at The Phillipines, I was robbed. The chance to see theater musicals, plays at the school, and Broadway. I really thank slime tutorials, it's accessible and you can even watched closed shows. I really thank bootleg people that held their hands up for 3 hours just for our entertainment. Love y'all.

i very much appreciate watching this after having an anxiety attack cause it made me laugh for a bit, thanks you guys ❤️

The first time I went to see Wicked on the West End was when Louise Dearman was playing Glinda but we saw her understudy and then a few years later we saw it again and got to see her as Elphaba!

I need more Ryan slime tutorials!

I just started to watch y’all and can I just say I love these videos I haven’t really seen anything about broadway and I love it and I live in a small town in New Mexico and gosh I never knew about how amazing it is!!!! Thank you Sam and Ryan y’all make my day!

I'm Brazilian and even tho I''ve been in NYC once and had the greatest privilege of watching Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera, the only way I've been able to consume Broadway musicals ever since is thought this videos. I also know a lot of people that are just as fans of Broadway as I am but never had the opportunity to go to US to watch a musical. So I'm actually very grateful for the slime tutorials hahaha.

As a theatre kid who lives in Oklahoma I have to say that without slime tutorials I would have never found my passion for musical theatre, while i defiantly do not encourage the making of slime tutorials, I believe that if I were to ever make it to broadway I don't think id ever report anyone If I saw it. maybe some girl in a small town like I am will see that slime tutorial, and maybe one day she'll be living her dreams on stage. And maybe it'll be because of that slime tutorial.

We really need more videos of you guys reacting to your fav slime tutorials moments. It feels so good when people geek out at the same things as you

I haven't watched this yet but I just saw some of the casting for the Wicked Movie. Not sure how I feel about it yet but if they'd cast you as Fiyero I'd be happy even if James Corden was Galinda. :|

Is it upsetting to you that you can't look back on your performances unless they have been filmed illegally?

This is so good!! I would love to see you guys react to more of these!

Thank you for acknowledging the inaccessibility of Broadway. I hate when people record during shows because, like you said, it's distracting and it's disrespectful. BUT. As a poor kid from Texas, I would have never been able to see any of the shows I'm in love with without "slime tutorials". I've heard people say "But if people watch bootlegs, they won't want to go see the actual show!" Excuse me, nothing makes me want to see a show in person more than seeing a grainy, shaky, bad quality version of it. I did finally get to go to New York in January 2020 and there is absolutely nothing that can compare to Broadway in person.

Thank you so much for sharing this and your wholesome feelings on the power of what these slime tutorials can capture forever:”) The illegal magic of them legs in boots really brings happiness to my heart since I can’t always afford to stand in those boots at the live performances😂♥️ Much love to you two please keep your quality content coming!:) Love, an aspiring actress ready to hit the stage again✨

I don’t know how I found this channel but I love that this was the first video I watched.

If I could actually give my money to buy tickets I would. I have the money and the love to do so. But I live very far from New York and sometimes there is no other way to get theatre content than sloppy slime tutorials. My favorites: Frozen (with Ryan of course) and Tuck Everlasting. Also Ryan talking about Patti LuPone had me crying I was laughing so hard

As much as slime tutorials are a no-no in the theatre world, my broke ass has no other way of enjoying "live" theatre performances besides what is posted online. As you said, theater is currently so inaccessible besides the rare pro-shots. Slime tutorials have introduced me to shows I would have never heard of otherwise and through that meant that I was able to show support in other ways via social media, official posts etc.

I have to say my fav slides are Six and Hadestown Although recording in a theater is bad, I am so thankful to have slime tutorials during the pandemic

I’ve watched that Frozen slime tutorial 100 times and never noticed that in Love is an Open Door

i really hope that you guys can sometime make a video with hanna bales and also a video of you two and jordan fisher would be really cool even maybe reacting to liv and maddie stuff

Literally nothing can kill a smile faster than an ad playing during y’all’s video 💔😭😂

I saw you on Broadway in wicked you absolutely KILLED it and made me appreciate wicked ❤

Im just saying. Ryan's little monologue at the start of the video. Is perfection. Thank you for that Ryan.

Slime tutorials have definitely made me love Broadway more. I grew up on the film productions of various Broadway shows like Phantom, Joseph and the amazing technicolor dream coat, Chicago, ect. But being able to see the actual stage productions makes me want to see them live in person eventually. Last year I managed to get my hands on some cheap wicked tickets. I have been a fan since glee and watched the slimes for it but my friend who I brought with me never seen or heard it before. So I was able to share that with her.

Oh my god, you were my first Hans! I saw that slime tutorial when I was living abroad and I loved it so much that I decided to see it there even though I wouldn’t understand all of it. I wish I could have seen you perform it in person but I was able to see a touring production in English this year!

I just want to say thank you. I loved when you talked about make broadway more accessible, and just how you talk about it in general. I'm French, and I live in France, I discovered Broadway not a long time ago, and it's with Hamilton on Disney+ that I began searching a way to saw some musicals. Because in France, we don't have this culture of musicals, there's some famous French's musical like "1789 Les Amants de la Bastille", "Mozart l'Opera Rock", etc... but it dated to the begining of the 2010's, since then, there's nothing. And I love how Broadway in on constant renew, there's always new productions, old productions that come back to life... And as a French who wants to know more about Broadway, it's sometimes hard to find something. There's the barrier langage because if I understand English, I'm still learning it, but the biggest problem is the accessibility of Broadway. The slime tutorials are really helpful, but I wish there was a way for people like me, who don't live in the USA, to know more. Your channel is a way for me to connect to Broadway, so thank you.

Just had my wisdom tooth removed and I'm watching this as a comfort video and I just wanted to tell you both that it definately hurts less hanging out with you guys here 🥰🌺

that opening conversation was really deep and not what I was expecting, but I liked it. never change

I just had my theater debut and I was in wizard of Oz ! You guys where the people that gave me courage to do theater and I know I’m doing it for the rest of my life

There is a recording of the 2006 revival of Company floating around here... it is AMAZING!!!! Actors sing, act, and play the instruments! Absolutely love it!

I’ve never filmed a slime tutorial myself but I was given exclusive access to an “I’m the damn fool that shot him” slime tutorial by my high school director years ago since his friend filmed it of the OBC and I had the file on my laptop so I was watching it on a plane once and a lady in her thirties (I was still a teen lol) literally across the aisle (we were both in window seats) and back like three rows saw that I was watching it and legit offered to pay big money if I would email it to her. This was years before the Netflix version came out lol. My pride that I was the only one who has it was too much for me to give it to her 😂😂 but I have this story so 🤷🏼‍♀️

i would very much LOVE a part 2 thank you.

i'd love a part 2 of this!!

Ryan’s little run was so effortless and gorgeous! 🫢😍

Hi! Just wanted to say that I saw Ryan in Wicked in March of 2019, and the cast was absolutely mind blowing. I thought it might have been him when he mentioned being Fiyero while Jessica Vosk was Elphaba, so I looked it up. You’re a brilliant performer, and the show was pretty near perfect that day.

Dannnngggg, Sam and Ryan have been SERVING!!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

omg u should do more of these i love ur reactions!

I came here to see Sam and Ryan react to a Be More Chill clip where when Rich comes out as bie the person infront of the bootlegger says, "Me too honey".

You guys are hilarious! You also have great camera chemistry!

I totally understand why people don’t like bootleg theatre but on the other hand like Ryan said it can be so inaccessible. Like if you really wanted to see specifically Ryan in frozen or something and never got the opportunity the only way you could is by bootleg or a show you want to see but there’s not movie rendition or anything it’s your only option

one minute in and we're already talking about deep stuff. this is why i'm subscribed

I have not seen some of these. OMG! I swear you two are always introducing me to more magical theatre moments. I also love hearing Ryan's stories. I love slime tutorials but I wish they didn't have to be done. Honestly, got to see so many shows because of them but wish theatre was more accessible and didn't cost $300 to see some of these shows. Like I would love more pro shot shows like Hamilton. Obviously, seeing Hamilton in person would be way more thrilling. I got to see In the Heights after it won the Tony with the original cast and it was the most magical experience. But getting the Hamiltion disney + version filled my tiny heart. Even the pro shot of Shrek was great. Just do more of that. Rent it or buy it for x dollars. People would happily do that. But then you could end up getting the problem of no one actually paying the top dollar to sit in the theatre when you can sit at home for less. And the potential of Broadway losing thousands of dollars. IDK it's rough. I'm appreciate of slime tutorials but it would be so much nicer if people could go see a show, feel comfortable, and not break the bank.

Lucie Jones' option up in I dreamed a dream is one of my favourite choices ever

A slime tutorial or Brittany Johnson in No One Mourns the Wicked and Thank Goodness showed up on my fyp on tiktok. So glad you mentioned her here. She blew me away w/ her rendition.

I am from Turkey and musical theatre became one of my passions after seeing a bootleg. I feel bad watching it for free but I also have no chance to see it live. When I have enough money first thing I am gonna do is to travel there and see a broadway show live. It's one of my biggest dream.
