hold on hold on is he CRYING??? MY BOY SOMEONE GIVE HIM A HUG

You’ve heard of Panic! At the disco now get ready for Michael! In the bathroom

Michael: having breakdown sound team: crank that funky shit

"I could stay right here or disappear" *Connor busts down the bathroom door* "No one deserves to disappeeeear"

Now release the whole musical.

He looks like hes really trying not to actually start acting, and hes REALLY trying to stay still This is why george salazar is an amazing actor

CAN GEORGE SALAZAR PLEASE DO A FULL VERSION OF I WANT TO DANCE WITH SOMEBODY? PLEASE?

those facial expressions broke my tiny little musical heart

This is the only song that feels like a panic attack. The actor is amazing. Even when he isn't acting he still looks like he's having a full blown panic attack.

closest we'll ever be to seeing it live

“ I wAnNa DaNcE wItH sOmEbOdY”- Drunk Girl who I wanna be.

I love how everytime he sings this song, even when he doesn’t have to act, he still does. He acts like this the same way in live performances on KZfaq where he’s simply supposed to sing the song yet he’s still fully in character. George Salazar is the best.

Michael: "My buddy kinda left me alone..." Veronica: "Well, my date kinda blew... me off..."

Jeremy's song : him unable to live properly because he cared about jerks. Michael's song : him badly suffering because he cares about his only friendship.

Theatre kids when they're left alone for a few minutes at a party be like:

Why aren't i this cool when im having a panic attack :/

The best part about the actor for Michael was he started genuinely crying because it broke his heart so much. He felt so passionate for the character and his role as playing the character. I hope to hear him get more roles in the future cause he’s really good.

I'm obsessed with his 'I wanna dance with somebody!' that was so smooth I love him

Imagine if there was a Reprise of Michael in The Bathroom.

Wait...DOES THIS MEAN THAT THERE WAS A HIGH QUALITY CAMERA RECORDING THE MUSICAL! HOW ELSE WOULD THEY GET THIS FOOTAGE?!

GEORGE FUCKING SALAZAR YOU DID IT AGAIN

I love how he's so composed in the beginning but as time goes on through the song he just gets lost in his character and it's honestly the purest thing I've seen

Michael: I could stay right here or disappear. Connor: NO ONE DESERVES TO DISAPPEARRRRRRRR!

One: I love how the actor sings with so much emotion it makes me feel what he is feeling. I love how much passion he sings with also, you can just tell he’s so in character. Two: the music. It starts very light then as michaels anxiety attack gets more intense, the music starts getting more intense. More instruments are being added and it gets louder. It adds to to the emotion so much and as michael starts to calm down, the music gets less over bearing and it ends with the same light tune from the beginning.

George and Ben platt are literally the only people who can sing whilst fuckin crying.

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE Edit:holy heck that's a lot of likes

Petition for George to make a full “I want to dance with somebody” cover.

Me *watches titanic: Doesnt feel anything. Me *watches fault in our stars*: nothing Me *listens to this song*: actually floods the room with tears.

Therapist: "Describe your anxiety." Me: *Sings this song at the top of my lungs, crying*

"ok one more time" *breaks repeat button*

memers: creeper.... AWW MAN musical fans: creeper... In the bathroom cuz my buddy kinda left me alone

"All you know about me is my name" RELATEABLE CONTENT RIGHT HERE.

*kicks down door* I CAME *smashes window* AS SOON *knocks over lamp* AS I *shoots of fireworks* HEARD

My first listening to michael in the bathroom: My friend: *plays this song* Me: *sees title only* oh what's michael doing in the bathroom?? ;)))) My friend: having a mental breakdown Me: oh.

*how to g note a bmc fan* *play this song in the highest volume*

You can see how much George cares and how his emotions play in with his character even when he is not on stage.

I love the way he sings "I wanna dance with somebody" I literally listen to just that part on repeat

People whose friends leave them alone at party after their mind gets infected by swallowing a gray oblong pill containing a quantum nanotechnology CPU be like:

You know someone is trying to sing well when they hold their headphones so tight it looks like their face is going to explode

If you like Hamilton You'll like Dear Evan Hansen If you like Dear Evan Hansen You'll like Be More Chill If you like Be More Chill You'll like Heathers

every time a new version of michael in the bathroom is released, my lifespan increases by six years

My favorite part is 0:00 - 5:12

Jermy: were never not gonna be a team me:* rembers Michael in the bathroom Me: LIES

Me: _Feeling happy_ Michael in the bathroom: _Exists_ Me: *o H*

George puts so much energy in singing, it's inspiring Fun fact! Last year I went to a Halloween party as Michael and they prohibited me to go to them bathroom skdkskd I love my cousin

I love that he sang he so passionately even in the studio

What is so hurtful to me is that you think Michael is the strong one all the time. While you can see how everything wears down Jeremy (or really, already has at the beginning of the musical), Michael is always in a good mood, builds Jeremy up again and promises him a brighter future. He seems so unfazed by it all, being happy about his sushi and the lady in the supermarket/deli. And then we see him in the bathroom and find out that every insult has been heard by him (the lines about him being a loner, driving a PT Cruiser, etc), but he just hasn't shown any effect of that on him. Often, people are far more hurt than they let show. Or maybe it seems the only thing helping Michael to not being broken by it all was his best friend as well, whom he just lost and now he doesn't know where to go anymore. Makes him actually showing up for the school play all the greater, if you ask me.

who else legit gets straight chills when he starts getting louder and says “MICHAEL WHO YOU DONT KNOW MICHAEL FLYING SOLO MICHAEL in the BATHROOM by himself.” no one? just me? mk lol

I love the moments where George just gets SO into it, especially around 2:50 and 4:27 where he like stomps his feet or grabs his headphones. I just really love seeing singers that so clearly believe in what they're singing, and in every performance I've seen of George, he always gets the message across with just the right emotion and conviction. In conclusion I love him and the entire cast of BMC they're all wonderful thank u for ur time

don't you ever just sit down and think damn I just love george

Lyrics: I am hanging in the bathroom at the biggest party of the fall I could stay right here or disappear and nobody'd even notice at all I'm a creeper in a bathroom cause my buddy kinda left me alone but I'd rather fake pee than stand awkwardly and pretend to check a text on my phone Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair and through no fault of mine there's no other half there Now I'm just Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party Forget how long its been I'm just Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party No, you can't come in I'm waiting it out 'til it's time to leave and picking at grout as I softly grieve I'm just Michael who you don't know Michael flying solo Michael in the bathroom by himself All by himself I am hiding, but he's out there Just ignoring all our history Memories get erased And I'll get replaced with a newer cooler version of me And I hear a drunk girl Singing along to Whitney through the door "I wanna dance with somebody!" And my feelings sink Cause it makes me think Now there's no one to make fun of drunk girls with anymore now it's just Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party I half regret the beers Michael in the bathroom Michael in the bathroom at a party As I choke back the tears I'll wait as long as I need 'Til my face is dry Or I'll just blame it on weed Or something in my eye I'm just Michael Who you don't know Michael flyin' solo Michael in the bathroom by himself Knock, knock, knock, knock They're gonna start to shout soon Knock, knock, knock, knock Ah hell yeah I'll be out soon Knock, knock, knock, knock It sucks he left me here alone Knock, knock, knock, knock Here in this teenage battlezone Clang, clang, clang, clang I feel the pressure blowing up Bang, bang, bang, bang My big mistake was showing up Splash, splash, splash, splash I throw some water in my face And I am in a better place I go to open up the door But I can't hear knocking Anymore And I can't help but yearn For a different time And then I look in the mirror And the present is clear And there's no denying I'm just ... at a party Is there a sadder sight Mmmmmmmmm Michael in the bathroom at a party This is a heinous night I wish I stayed at home instead Watching cable porn Or wish I offed myself instead Wish I was never born I'm just Michael Who's a loner So he must be a stoner Rides a PT Cruiser God, he's such a loser Michael flying solo Who you think that you know Michael in the bathroom by himself All by himself All by himself When all you know about me is my name Awesome party I'm so glad I came

The part where he's too emotional to sing, then only manages to hum the next part, is so good. He really sounds like someone trying and failing to keep it together, every time I hear it I half expect him to say something like "I want my mom!"

i like how even when hes recording the song for the soundtrack he naturally does hand gestures and faces he would make in the musical

Michael is so relatable lol

its so impressive how he's able to go from 0 to 100 and then back to 0 so effortlessly, it really helps the song feel like an actual panic attack

Came here after the Tony Awards. Thanks Lin for the reference, this is a great song.

I WASN'T EXPECTING FOOTAGE FROM THE SHOW WHEN I CLICKED THE VIDEO AND GOD ALMIGHTY I'M SHAKING

Who else relates to Michael in the Bathroom?

I love how he's moving so much that the headphones start slipping off and then he *jams* them back on.

In love when George is singing he can't just stand still, and i like he does these movements that actually express these feelings Michael is feeling. He's just too good and precious omg. When he does these movements you can see he has actual passion in what he's doing. Its just too good. How can such a GOD exist

the part that goes "micheal who you dont know, micheal flying solo" is so well placed it makes the song so catchy

When he starts crying I feel myself becoming more dead inside

Every time I have to go to the bathroom for any reason, this song pops in my head, & I can’t help but sing it, even in public 🫣

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE BATHROOM WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

the little dance he does at I wanna dance with somebody! ahhhh What did I do to deserve George Salazar???

I can't tell if my crying because George Salazar's voice is a blessing I've been in Michaels position more then once I'm an emotional wreck George actually sounds on the verge of tears and I can't stand to see him sad Or because I'm too attached to Michael

I have literally no idea what the plot of bmc is and this is the only song I've heard from it but DAMN this is emotional and intense as shit, George is an amazing singer/actor!

Me: * Crying * Sister: Are you Okay? Me: NOOOOOO! Sister: * slowly backs away *

I want a full cover of that Whitney song sung by this man

THE ACTUAL TEARS STREAMING DOWN HIS FACE I CAN IM DONE GOODBYE

This is an AMAZING representation of a panic attack, as a person with regular panic attacks the repeated lines of the song over and over, and your thoughts spinning round in circles, the panicked singing REALLY hit home.

I swear George Salazar is the best actor and singer. Shoutout to Michael my bro!

I hope that if a movie comes out about this musical, they have the same actor for Michael

I wanna hear George sing a cover of I Wanna Dance With Somebody now.......

I love how he actually has pain in his eyes when he sings this song. We all have to admit george is an amazing actor, singer and Michael is WAY, WAY, WAY, to good for Jeremy 🤧

"wish I offed myself instead" Jerry Buddy you're dead. How dare you I am getting emotional

Before listening to this: "Okay, I'm NOT going to cry this time!" 5 minutes later: I'M JUST *sobs violently* MICHAEEL

I highly believe I've never seen someone put so much facial emotion while singing a song...the movement, the expression and the voice!! Don't get me started on the voice! This is one of the most amazing song I've heard

Anthem for anyone whos had a panic attack in a bathroom. The only place you can get privacy in most settings, so a natural place to have a meltdown in a place where you otherwise cannot

Was never a theatre kid nor a big person on Broadway music, but god damn this song and the soundtrack is something I love to revisit a lot. This song especially.

i'm literally tearing up george salazar is the cutest person on this planet edit: he was teARING UP NEAR THE END MY BABY

George salazar, lin-Manuel miranda, and Ben Platt need to do a cover together..

Funny how he’s “cool” and “relatable” when he has a panic attack, but when I do I’m questioned by some guy in the snack isle of a jewel osco

I love how he went from "I'm just Michael in the bathroom at a party" To "OH YOU'RE ALIVE I SUPPOSE THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR YA BUT IT MEANS A LOT MORE PAPERWORK FOR ME SO DON'T EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY TO SEE YA OF COURSE BEING ALIVE IS JUST TEMPORARY!!!"

3:16 The Iconic Scene in Whole Musical You can Tell George Salazar Deserves a Tony for His Role

NOTHIN LIKE LISTENIN TO THIS AT 3AM WHILE DRUNK AND CRYING MY DUDES

It must be so nice to live in New York and you can casually watch these amazing broadway performances.

Someone tell me why I’m in love with this man

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN

Me before clicking: aww cute I’m sure this’ll be a fun thing to watch Me after clicking: miChAel wHo yOu doNt kNoW -crying noises- ALL BY HIMSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELF

People are loving the ✨I wanna dance with somebody✨

After watching this, I got the cast recording of Be More Chill!

when it zooms in on his face I cant tell if thats sweat beading down his face or fucking tears and it kills me every time.

When you're in the bathroom and this song comes on: iM hANgInG THe bAthRoOM

Anyone noticed that at 2:55 onwards that, as Michael begins to panic, the key starts to rise. But then at 3:23, after he throws water in his face, it goes back to the original key, showing that he's calmed down, at least a bit.

My college just did this musical at a theatre festival. I actor that played Michael did AMAZING, but George never fails to make me cry. Plus, you can tell he got more into after the beginning and was trying his best not to dance or move around. He is pique perfection; you can't change my mind.

i didn't ask but i received anyway. the be more chill fandom has been blessed on this day.

2:50 and beyond: *He gets SO INTO IT IT'S AMAZING*

I haven't even seen this musical and I know nothing about the context or the character, and this still somehow managed to make me cry

The feeling, bro
