That Cats stage dancing to movie dancing was bad. BUT OMG that Les Mes stage to movie singing that was painful on the ears...it won't get worse right? Ramin's Phantom appears and then Gerald Bulter's Phantom says "Hold My Beer."

Dead Girl Walking Reprise, My Dead Gay Son , I Am Damaged, Lifeboat, Big Fun and more plz

What a shame you left out Memories from Cats.

Once and for all has to have some of the best harmonies, also I’m alive is just amazing, and Anastasia omg

Funny that "You're the one that I want" isn't actually in the Grease musical ...

GREASE should be "All Shook Up" for Broadway ... the last revival was based more on the film than its original stage counterpart

Jordan actually did great in dear Evan Hansen

BAN EMMA STONE FROM ALL STAGES! 🥴🤢

I liked that you included both movie versions of WSS! It's so interesting to see the different interpretations. Some are better, some are not. Even different stage performances or different movie versions have different takes. It's fun to compare them.

Colleen sounds like a character straight out of a Bob's Burgers musical episode

I prefer Emmy Rossum as Christine because she belts but doesn't have the same operatic embellishments, I think it really highlights the contrast between her and Carlotta.

The Wii Sports Resort music at the beginning SENT ME

I thought some of these bitches were gay… wtf is this damned show

A lot of the movie versions are so much better ❤

The biggest difference aside from difference in talent is the celebrities sound like they're just doing their best to sing a song, where the professional theater actors have a knack for making the songs to sounds like the characters are just talking to each other, it just happens to be in a sing song way. You call tell which celebrities came from theater because they can do it as well.If that makes sense to anyone else.

Once is my favorite movie

Also Phantom of the Opera is subjective

Except for Cats,Dear Evan Hanson, Les Mis, I think the movies were better

The amount of money I would’ve paid and things I would’ve done to be in the room for that Les Miserables concert.

nice compilation, unfortunately i only recognise like 20%

not including samantha pauly's all you wanna do from six, especially considering the END, is CRAZYYYY

Daniel Radcliffe actually cooked though.

Calling Gaten a celebrity isn’t quite right. He started on Broadway playing Gavrosh in Les Miz.

let's just say Jessie Mueller can't be rivaled

I was very surprised that Into the Woods wasn't mentioned even though you might have saved us because the movie was so bad compared to the broadway version(my opinion) but very good video

Not sure if it was just the clips chosen but usually I’m more of a Broadway fan and feel like I lean more towards the Broadway shows instead of the movies but quite a few times this time I enjoyed the movie clips so much better

Wait, so was the whole cast of Rent (motion picture) "stunt" casting? 🤔

It’s like box wine vs. a fine wine…no contest 😅

I don’t think anyone can compare to Will Roland’s performance

Cody Simpson got hella voice

Bells of Notre Dame always gives me goosebumps, it is a crime that production never went to Broadway.

a lot of people shit on will roland but his control is pretty great. mans casually belting a B4 while sitting down and looking at his computer like nothings going on

For some of them, the main difference seems to be the ease of vibrato, most notably with Nick Jonas vs Michael Ball. For Cinderella, I think I actually like Keke Palmer a bit better, she sounds a lot more natural, as vibrato can sometimes feel a bit stiff.

The movie versions I like best.

14:49 ONLY 11?!?!?!?! 😭😭😭😭 28:20 Okay Okay, I get it- I just like Kurt better- Don’t get me wrong she’s good! I just like Kurt better-

Oh this is real ? Oh nah.

Loved the clips but still unsure what point you are making. A trained Broadway voice is its own unique animal (which was driven home on a weekly basis during many weeks of American Idol). I don't think anyone, including the producers, anticipates or expects 8 great shows per week for whatever number of weeks that celebrity is in the show. That celebrity is there to bring in their fans to see the show (aka put butts in the seat) and continue it's run. IF they do a great job...it's a plus and they'll get extended, asked back or get another show. If memory serves correct, Nick Jonas went onto replace Darren Criss who replaced Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying. Sure, you will get performances like that clip of Cameron Dallas but.....stunt casting will continue and the seats will be filled.

honestly, we needed more “live performances” like teenage dream by darren, no studio version over the actual scene!

Please compare Lea Michele to Barbra 😂😂😂😂

Brendan Urie slaaayed. His performance style is very theatrical to begin with, so he's very comfortable with big gestures and big emotions. The OBC guy was excellent as well, but Brendan shows us why he's a literal rock star. Also, the best She Used to Be Mine version is Kelly Clarkson. (OK, so it's Kellyoke and not on this video, but if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and look it up.)

aaron tveit,,, i will forever be sad not being able to see you in the musical

I must say, state and movie are different type of performing art.

Hot take: Russel Crowe’s vocals in Les Mis, while nowhere near as good as Philip Quast or Norm Lewis, were actually not too bad.

No Annie, The King & I, My Fair Lady or Fiddler on the Roof? 😦For shame. 🥺

The cats scare me. I can’t lie

Moulin Rouge movie can never be beaten.

Who is Brendon Urie and why is he so good (I have never seen that musical but that clip hits)

I found that the long-time broadway actors had more presence in stage and more expressive and powerful voices in general. However, some of the celebrities had a refreshing way of acting and singing that wasn't so easily recognized as "broadway" acting and singing (which makes sense with their backgrounds). For example, some had more realistic/nuanced acting and didn't sing in that super rounded and gliding 20th century musical voice (which, although technically very good, can get tiring for audiences). I hope we can see more and more broadway actors and directors bring in different singing styles and genres to broadway. Jessie Mueller and Hamilton are some good examples.

Nick Jonas actually was pretty good, but Michael Ball is devastatingly good.
