As a fellow Utahan, I just have to say that I would have guessed she and those kids were from here. There's a weird number of super blonde, cute kids from large families around here. I married a non-mormon guy here and we had one of those super blonde kids, even though nobody in either family looks like that. It's something in the water.

I have to say, I started watching this, expecting an above-average H.S. production and really, they performed this with top-notch, professional talent. When one considers that the Chicago version this was modeled after was the FILM, which gets plenty of practicing, effects, takes and edits, this truly IS an excellent, incredible performance! Ms. Barrowes went the extra mile to BE the puppet in this piece. I don't know how she kept her dinner down! :) And Mr. Andrus' voice was an outstanding baritone throughout that coupled with the right amount of exuded confidence required for the part. The ONLY negative in all of this was an auditorium/sound system that didn't deserve that level of talent.

Unironically this is definitely one of the best performances of 'Gun' on KZfaq. The choreography is mostly taken from the 2002 movie as opposed to the usual stage choreography but it reintroduces some of the best stage elements (particularly the long notes at the end which wouldn't have fit in the movie since why would that be impressive when it isn't live?), we also get to see Roxy's full Charleston performed flawlessly at the end (which the movie literally shows for 0.4 seconds) The rag doll ventriloquist dummy from the movie is so much more comedic and captivating than the stage version of frozen comedic expressions (and makes more sense) and both Roxy's physicality, make-up (props to them) and acting all enhance it And yes, Flynn holds a note here better than some other professional performances I've seen on YT. I'm only sorry they couldn't also do the stage version's dance together at the end as well (the shuffle at the last refrain at the end before the long note)

When I did this in an actual professional production we didn't have nearly half the talent these two had. I feel like I did a good job but if you asked me to hold that note at the end I'd have laughed in your face. Plus the actress I was working with was really stubborn, and refused to take criticism and sometimes walked out of rehearsals or didn't even show up. On the night she barely knew what she was doing and showed. I'm never working with her again thank god. Sorry for the rant, just jealous that a high school production did a better a job than we did when we probably had triple the budget 😹😹😹. Hats off to them
