This is so cool!! Where did you get the lyrics and lines for the Chicago version?

(Holy moly, this may have been the start of the video that got stuck in my head this whole time)

You did a fabulous production!!

Needfully sounds better in the title of the video!

“THE ME NOBODY KNOWS” MENTIONED I WAS IN THIS SHOW IN 8th GRADE NEVER SEEN ANYONE MENTION IT

Eva Peron was a lot like Meghan Markle. Both used men to climb the social ladder, started out using men paying them for sex and married weak but much loved men. Eva started out as prostitute turned actress. Meghan started out as a yacht girl turned actress. They married into a higher social class and their goal was for money and power. Eva was drugged or manipulated so she lost power. Meghan drugged and manipulated Harry so she could take power using his star dust. Eva worked with Peron to harm those they perceived as enemies and Meghan worked with Harry to harm their perceived enemies. They their families behind when they were no longer useful and to silence them because free press and social media would expose them. Both women has narcissistic traits and used them mercilessly for their goals. We know how it ended for Eva and Peron who was her useful idiot. Maybe there will be a musical about Meghan Markle one day.

so original elle was just a self insert who gets rewarded for being a bad person

12:51 Well, I think Playing with the Big Boys holds up much better if you consider the fact it's the comic relief song of the movie. It's certainly a lot more badass than the comic relief songs in other animated movies.

I have read Mein Kampf and the Antifa Handbook. To a large part the Antifa Handbook is very much like Mein Kampf in its content.

Godless Gen Z's and millennial theater brats that know nothing of the Bible probably aren't the best choices to tell this story.

My sister & I are POE super fans. She actually did laugh out loud at that last breath scene. And i LOL’d at the ending of this vid. Way too funny 😂

The prince of Burningman 😂

Totaly NOT. /)

I am shocked. And what shocks me is that so many people identify with Elle from the movie. Now I know where all the idiot female protagonists come from and why they are so popular.

Wikipedia says it was adapted differently to the American production. I actually enjoyed this one.

This was such an interesting video. The point on June being remembered as Gypsy’s sister makes me think about every other person who has been recalled as “family member of BLANK”.

If she doesn’t think she needs to know the law by heart, she must not have taken the bar exam 😬

The author sounds like a dick smh

Lord of the Rings, Starwars and Legally Blonde is part of my top 10 all time favorite movies.

The ACL reboot should include stories like “I gave my life story to ACL and got this shiny dollar in return. Bit of meta always fun

Why do you barely talk about the reality show for the first half of the video 😭😭😭😭

I’ve been thinking about these two musicals as of current USA & European politics. Primarily with the genocide in Gaza and Donald Trump demanding to be king. Even with all the damning evidence in front of our faces, so many people are still denying the real threats that are on our doorstep. Many people think that they won’t be affected by these politics that are simply a choice of the lesser evil and that “politics don’t affect me anyways.” Unfortunately history does in fact repeat itself. You’d think it wouldn’t based on all the knowledge we have, but unfortunately people on power just want to keep gaining power and using it to oppress others.

This musical holds a special place in my heart as my favorite. After the COVID restrictions were lifted, I had the pleasure of seeing it live in London. It brought me immense joy to be there, and it saddens me deeply that they have decided to close it. The music is fenomenal.

My college is doing this musical in the spring and I'm super excited to audition!

I've always said that this musical has all kinds of deja vu's of Gypsy Rose Blanchard n her mother DD!! About a woman that uses her children as cash cows! 😮😮😮 #TheGreatPretender #Scammer #TheAct 😮😮😮

1:42 what is the song being played here?!? I recognize it but can’t remember 😭 please help

16:05, I believe this was an attempt to callback to the original source material (ie the old testament). In the bible, Moses gets his name from Pharaoh's daughter but Miriam is there the entire time to help care for him as a baby. With that being said, as a diehard fan of the movie, i listened to the soundtrack of the stage show and immediately turned it back off. It sucks. I mean it really sucks.

They had such an amazing vocal cast and just over killed it with choreography and no set designs.

I thought the boutique scene showed a real passive aggressive side of Elle. Sure , the girl is sneaky, but she's just doing what stores do. Buyer beware and all. But for Elle to trick her with a leading question, to expose her lack of expertise, instead of just saying no. To show off to her fiends Is kinda mean girl. I worked in suits in Nordstrom SF and I heard many tales of women abusing shopgirls to impress their friends.

The duck quacks, unnecessary and distracting. Otherwise good video

I did not know the film was based on a book, and what I'm getting from this video...the film was better than the book?!

Considering Anne of Cleves says “you say that I tricked ya because I didn’t look like my profile picture. Too bad I don’t agree” I think that’s them directly saying she probably wasn’t ugly and Henry was just being the single biggest unreliable narrator ever.

Anyone know where I can watch the musical with the og cast?? Trying to find a good slime tut but I’ve just been unlucky ig

RYAN SCOTT OLIVER GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES YEAAAAAAAH

The reminds me of the difference between the book and film versions of “The Devil Wears Prada.” I saw the movie version first, and decided to read the book afterwards. The book version of Andrea is thoroughly unlikeable, and almost nothing like the character in the movie.

Yeah I’ll stick with the movie and musical. I definitely would not get along with the author of the novel and won’t be reading the novel

This is one of those instances where the movie is better than the book. If this had been the movie, it would have failed, in the same era as Mean Girls where we see how damaging this type of behavior is and the importance of overcoming it. I’m curious if the author ever watching the movie or musical and sees how she wrote the worst character, and why people would prejudge someone on those types of behaviors, vs Elle from the film and musical. But, I doubt it. She probably had one of her friends watch it for her and give her a summary.

Female American Psycho.

Wow. They SLAYED!

Beautiful job! Thank you for taking the time to do this!

If k Howard was in the modern day, she would’ve started being abused in MIDDLE SCHOOL and beheaded before even graduating. That’s actually crazy

The fact a women worte something so misogenic and incel-ish depressed me

One singular sensation Every little step she takes One thrilling combination Every move that she makes…

I think vocally, the ensemble and all the cast is really good almost at the level of the movie

You know it's bad when Hollywood makes a character more empowered and kind

So this goes directly on my list of “better than the book” along with Shrek.

I have one big problem…. I never thought she was beautiful…. I would say average at best

My parents bought the soundtrack on vinyl…. Ethel Merman … I still have it … not a scratch on it

I was a very young boy … late 1950s early 1960s …. When I heard, learned about Gypsy Rose Lee…. When the movie was available on TV , we watched it as a family

June is in a good episode of Murder, She Wrote….
