riverdale: tries to attract theatre kids theatre kids: *points and laughs*

Musical: has a point Riverdale: takes that point, throws it out and slaps a suggestive dance number on it

“Beautiful” and “Big Fun” on riverdale are lacking so much emotion it’s scary 😭

I think Riverdale’s main problem is that they soften the voices in every song. They sound like something you would hear on a pop radio, not like the emotional stories they are supposed to be.

Riverdale: *somehow makes all that jazz more sexual* Also riverdale: YoU jUsT gOtTa PrOvE yOu'Re NoT a *DoOrKnOb* AnYmOrEe

“You just gotta prove you’re not a doorknob anymore” 💀💀

My thoughts on the Heathers songs: Beautiful: They BUTCHERED Beautiful, it’s meant to be about how messed up the school is, and they turn it into the Heathers trying to make Heather C beautiful-er? What’s happening? Just kill me. Candy Store: What is this? It’s like they’re trying to make it like Veronica also has some level of power over the heathers, and fighting them for it? This feels like a dance battle in a teen show. Never mind, I forgot that’s what it is. Seventeen: they did pretty good! My only problems lie with the fact that they intertwined it with two couples (I know, I’m being picky) and it’s not “haha we’re depressed emo kids do we still deserve to be 17” like no they killed 3 people that’s why they’re asking it lol Big Fun: The singing, let’s face it, was horrible. What is up with that? I’m sorry but if you’re going to sing good songs get at least voices that fit the songs for it. I don’t like how they used it. A few other problems I had: unnecessary censorship, horrible covers, and used the song horribly. Also, the show is basically looking like a wannabe musical rather than whatever the plot of season 1 was, if that still exists. Sorry for making this so long!

Riverdale is a great example of: “Over sexualizing things doesn’t make them any better.”

Riverdale: Changes some of the swear words in the song Also Riverdale: allows these people (who are supposed to be playing teens??) to dance seductively and say vulgar things while barely wearing anything. The voices in Riverdale also sound too obviously studio recorded...

The only semi-good song was 17. Lily and Cole actually sound good together during the chorus, the high notes were good, and the harmonies were pretty

I just realized something really strange- despite having the resources for as many voices as they want, Riverdale’s Big Fun sounds like there’s like 4 people singing.

Alternate title: Broadway actors carrying this video on their back.

Riverdale: makes me cringe Broadway: GORGEOUs, BEAUTIFUL, BREATHTAKING, STUNNING, FABULOUS, AWE INDUCING, M A G N I F I C E N T

Its so funny how they make the lyrics in Riverdale so Kids friendly sometimes but at the same time they dance all sexy and all to it😭

You know what? Thank you Riverdale. Now I know what it truly means to put my energy into a song, since it's the exact opposite of what you did. (Seriously, what in the world happened to Big Fun? Even for songs I didn't know, I could tell something was off before even listening. Next time I do a production, I'm gonna keep this all in mind and put all the energy I can into it *and then some* )

Riverdale writer: ok so we're gonna overly sexualize these teenage characters okay? The cast:*practicing candy store* you just gotta prove you're not a pus- Writer:WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU CANT SAY THAT SAY...UHHHHHH *looks at door* OKAY WE'RE GONNA SAY DOORKNOB INSTEAD!

*Cole Sprouse: made it trough his entire Disney carier without singing* Riverdale: yea let's change that

we can all agree veronica (from riverdale) should have been heather duke not macnamara, betty should’ve been instead, also they just.. did everything wrong with that😭😭

I miss when Riverdale was a cartoon with a group of friends solving mysteries together with occasional love interest going on 😞😕

Riverdale sounds fake, while the musicals sound like real people singing Edit: Holy shit- I wasnt expecting getting so many likes all of a sudden-

I hate how riverdale over sexualises everything, like candy store and all that jazz. It makes me really uncomfortable

And mostly, people need to understand that musical theatre is live, so it's genuine, it's authentic. While in Riverdale, they had multiple takes, autotune and not a whole audience before them.

Broadway Carrie overshadows the Riverdale version so much it's honestly impressive

As crappy as it is, it’s not the Riverdale actor’s faults. There’s literally compilations of the Riverdale actors talking about how they hate the scripts and the musical episodes😂

Keep in mind that the broadway are performed live meanwhile the Riverdale actors have the advantage of multiple takes and autotune

The off-broadway Candy Store was honestly amazing. Those girls voices were made to sing together.

THANK YOU for using Jane Horrocks for Cabaret! Her performance is not for the faint of heart, but it's an absolutely stellar performance!

Riverdale: Uses the high school version of the Heathers songs used for minors. Also Riverdale: Oversexualizes characters that are supposed to be minors.

The fact they managed to oversexualize Out Tonight and All That Jazz in a show about teenagers doesn't sit right with me

They didn’t totally ruin 17 but they did lose the message, the whole point of that song was to show Veronica’s desperation for JD to change his ways. To show that he didn’t have to hurt everyone else to be able to love her. She was trying to save him

Comparing NPH’s Hedwig to Riverdale’s Hedwig is like comparing a bouquet of flowers to a broken femur

Candy Store: *High note* Vanessa and Madelaine: NOPE

Riverdale: has a teenager do a strip dance in a club in front of a bunch on adults, including her boyfriends father and her mother, so she can be initiated into a gang Also Riverdale: yOu JuSt GoTtA pRoOvE yOuRe NoT a DoOrKnOb AnYmOrE

I just can't get over the fact that a lot of people know these songs that I love only by these robotic, out of context, lacking any expression, creepily sexualized and commercialized counterparts that can barely be recognized as the same songs.

OKAY BUT WHYS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD LILI AND COLE SOUND IN SEVENTEEN

No one: Riverdale during candy store: *whipping noise*

Riverdale ruined the whole “Beautiful” because THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE VERONICA SINGING AS WELL NOT JUST THE HEATHERS

what’s striking is how much more powerful the broadway versions felt and how much more personality and character the songs had. in riverdale the covers just feel… flat :(

Riverdale sounds like a bunch of five year olds trying to sound like high schoolers trying to cover up that they are robots with autotune. How do you even manage that

you guys remember when riverdale was about a boy who got murdered

alternate title try not to get triggered by the singing and dancing until you get to the REAL version

the way heather sings "don't you dare touch me," in beautiful just makes me die inside

This just made me appreciate Neil Patrick Harris even more 😊

Riverdale: You’ve just gotta prove you’re not a dOoRKnOb- Me: I’M SORRY A _WHAT?_

My friend who watches Riverdale and has never seen heathers literally said Riverdale's cover was amazing of candy store. I played her the original and she regretted saying anything.

When Cheryl sang Carrie it loooked so funny i burst out laughing

tbh "Beautiful" was good at first but fr tho that "WHO COULD SURVIVE THIS??" had me speechless..

The comment section is just reminding everyone not to mess with theatre-kids

Broadway: the flavor is ✨𝓲𝓶𝓶𝓪𝓬𝓾𝓵𝓮𝓽✨ Riverdale: so bland. It’s just so ... s t r a i g h t

Heather Chandler started singing beautiful I was like “okay autotuned but could be worse” and then they changed the lyrics

1:49 Josie: *singing* Dancers at the back: *My teenage sleep paralysis demon on tiktok at 3 am*

so barret damaged her vocal chords just for Riverdale to disrespect Heathers like that

They gotta do one for Riverdale vs Glee vs Broadway

listening to them sing "In" from Carrie was painful Edit: listening to them sing anything from Carrie was painful

What they did to Candy Store I just can’t forgive. Like they under sexualised the lyrics but over sexualised the dance??

Can we talk about how riverdale is just trying to make the songs dramatic and sexy and completely take away the musical theatre aspect of it?!?!

People were right when they said 17 wasn’t that bad Literally the only song they didn’t butcher 😭

I know it’s technically an off-Broadway performance, but I would have done the Seattle show for Carrie. Such a phenomenal performance.

someone tried to tell me that heathers copied riverdale... ma’am

This sounds like they were trying to be Glee and failed miserably.

In my opinion, all of the songs were MUCH better in broadway then they are in riverdale 🧍‍♀️

How is the live version so much better than the tv show when they’re dancing and singing LIVE with no opportunity to redo it if they mess up

Riverdale: avoids belting as much as possible Literally any Broadway singer ever: ...Should we tell them

Can we talk about how dirty they did candy store? Their version doesn’t even make sense...

I just have to say that heathers the musical’s candystore gives me chills every time I listen to it

"Which do you pick?" That's not even a debate! Riverdale ruined everything. Casey Cott was the only one who could do anything and that's because he and his brother actually do musical theater.

what's sad is that most of the riverdale cast aren't even bad singers, they're just assigned to songs that don't suit their voice at all then get way over edited until they don't sound real anymore.

If they even touch Hamilton, Les Mis, or Beetlejuce, I’m throwing hands for real

the riverdale version of beautiful and candy store sounds like the justin bieber 2004 version 😭 it was kinda ROUGH i don’t want tROUblEUH

I wish we heard lilli reinhart song mote, her voice is so stunning and, I would have loved to hear it more

IM SORRY THEY OVER SEXUALIZED ALL THOSE SONGS BUT THEY CHANGED THE LYRICS IN BIG FUN TO LETS GET IN MY HEATED POOL?!?? AHHH Ok anyways-

*says doorknob to be more “appropriate”* *proceeds to throw it back* edit: if i were able to take every single person who likes this comment, we could have the possibility of being successful from taking over a small country unite my soldiers, for some day, *we will rise* * salutes *

Will you be doing a version of Riverdale vs Real Version Next to Normal? I love Next to Normal and was curious if you've been able to find clips you can use cuz the whole musical is on KZfaq. Great video!

It’s a miracle that they never found or got the rights to Spring Awakening because they definitely would have done it, and very badly

I really feel disrespected at what they did to Heathers, the actors are doing their best but honteaaaa no

Seventeen: *plays* Me: this isn't to bad Big fun,: *plays* Me: dear god no...

i will cry out of joy when the series finale premieres

I like how riverdale's anything goes has a completely different vibe to broadway's version.

I’m sorry but I’ll never get over how badly they disrespected Carrie and Heathers

Riverdale’s all that jazz really just feels like they’re trying way too hard to sexualize the song ? Most of it as I’ve seen is like that though I think. It might be the auto tune but all of their voices just sound. So weird? Like really weirdly 2 dimensional

how is Riverdale gonna de-sexualize the lyrics, sexualize the style they sang the songs in, and not at least include dead girl walking? 😭 don't get me wrong I am SO glad they didn't but Jesus make up ur mind

Did you know that there’s also a song from ride the cyclone in riverdale? Karnak’s dream of life! “I know this dream of life is never ending” THAT one!

"Anything Goes" Riverdale: chill, melancholy, kinda sad Broadway: LET'S HAVE A _PARTY_

Did you mean: Riverdale missing the point of every Broadway songs they've ever covered for twenty five minutes straight

i always get hyped up for big fun but it sound silent

Every time I hear Riverdale Candy Store I can’t get over how hard purple girl says her rs. HAS SHE NEVER SANG BEFORE?!??! YOURE NOT SUPPOSED TO INNUNCIATE RS!!!

Alternative title: *Riverdale trying to be Glee and failing miserably*

I swear to god the writers have forgotten that the characters are supposed to be like 16-18 not 25

I love how much personality stage actors put in compared to TV Broadway wins,but maybe I'm bias

riverdales anything goes was physically painful for me oh my god Edit: I SAID THAT BEFORE I HEARD LITERALLY EVERY HEATHER ONE HELP

riverdale's writers: let's remake musicals! theater kids: NOOOOOO every human on earth: NOOOOOO archie: HiGh aNd LoWs Of HiGh ScHoOl FoOtBalL

Remember when Betty, Archie, Jughead, and Veronica were comic book characters. Good times

The only song that actually fits the show is Seventeen, cuz this teens are solving murders, fighting against some d&d evil and discovering superpowers but i’ve never seen them talking about homework

I still can’t get over “You just got to prove your not a doorknob anymore” what does that even mean

The fact that Broadway performances are live and that still sound better... I-

In the Heathers episode if you listen closely you can actually hear the original cast’s vocals in the background especially in seventeen

The fact that my grandpa loved this show surprises me in more ways than one

They dare touch Hamilton and I'm coming for them...

Can we say prayers for Casey Cott, out fellow theatre kid who broke his back carrying the entire show on his back
