Sondheim was a genius

I don't know if anyone else commented it, but the grave was her father's

I saw the show 4/89 Bernadette Peters was not in it.

Long intro, finally gets to the footage, 4 seconds in, pauses it. 👎 nope.

In the original fairy tale of Rapunzel, it’s actually quite similar to the musical version, because her dad went into the garden of a witch to get his wife veggies - especially „rapunzel“, it’s the name of the plant that got stolen

Girl, you have missed the entire point of the story 😂

Fun fact. The stage screen manager is actually a pretty sober man in the book and is announced dead through conversation between the ballet dancers in the fist chapter of the book.

Did you fail to notice the beanstalk growing at the end of act 1?!?! That was the thing to bring you back, to find out what happens with that. Maybe if you were paying attention and spent less time yapping you coulda seen it

I find it interesting that you were happy the wife was squished after cheating but you wanted the prince to stay with Cinderella. It bothers me because the wife of the Baker had been telling her since the beginning that this is HIS problem and how he has to be the one to solve the childlessness, but then the moment that he has the child he keeps handing the baby off to his wife. THEN after the prince and the wife have the affair, the only one to regret it was the wife. ... Kinda interesting to see how certain ideals get instilled in us isn't it?

The supporting characters are so much fun. I couldn’t stand Carlotta when I was younger but she is so funny also the new owners of the opera house dealing with the notes from the Phantom.

When you referenced "We All Know Frogs Go La Dee Da" my australian heart soared

you should react to the movie because it's honestly amazing and the cast is incredible. Johnny depp is the best wolf i could have asked for and meryl streep is the best witch i could have asked for. I could not have wished for a better cast. It's so amazing i recommend reacting to it and i truly want to see your reaction.

Fun fact! In the original production before it moved to Broadway the Baker & Cinderella sung a reprise of “It Takes Two” during the finale and kissed at the end of the show.

I know im late but i would 100% recommend you read the book that all the plays and movies are based off of... its 100% different than any of the plays or movies.. in the book the phantom/erik is pure evil and it explains why and everything about him and the opera house and how he knows everything about it

the little boy (gavorouche) went over the barricades to collect more gunpowder and weapons for the other boys, so while it was reckless he didn't entirely die for no reason

ayo wtf that place is huge compared to ours! would love to shop there before a coldie

You talk a lot through the plot. I hope you went back and rewatched it because you missed a lot!

there is a sequel to it called love never dies and it has one of my favorite broadway songs called the beauty underneath

wait your first time watching phantom and you choose a school production instead of the professional 25th anniversary one????

The second act is were all the consequences of the character's actions catch up with them. Yes, everyone gets what they want in the first act but they don't necessarily earn those things or deserve them. They don't really go through any character development until the very end.

The notes that played when the baker dropped the beans is called the “bean theme” it is played in the background of a bunch of the music to symbolize that what happened is happening because of the beans

11:32 - This gets me every time. Every cast I've ever seen always has so much fun with this part. It could be on a Try Not To Laugh video and I'd never win.

This pro-shot was indeed produced to be aired on PBS, America's Public Broadcasting Service. Similar shoots were made for Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd, Pacific Overtures.

I know I'm going to get roasted for saying this, but if you watch the 2004 movie with Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson the story will become much more clear. As for the singing compared to the stage production (s) there are two very widely divided communities on that...but, that is what it comes down to. What does it mean to you personally. thank you so much for sharing...this was amazing!

You chose a school production over the movie? FAIL. I mean, the movie was awful, but it was better than any school production.

😅 do they ever explain what happens to Rapunzel's twins cuz I think I might have a theory what if those twins are Gretel and Hansel cuz that would make for a great next story I mean they're betrayed is blonde they are twins I mean doesn't it fit perfectly what if they survived and they were adopted by two other parents and begs the question what if there's even more stories added to this than meets the eye 🤔☺️

As someone who is a big Phantom Phan, aside that the music that was plagiarized, ALW did manage to rob a lot of the ideas from a completely different Phantom of the Opera that was by Ken Hill. Much of the ALW Phantom is almost identical to the Ken Hill production. I still like the musical until how much ALW completely robbed the original Phantom that was by Ken Hill. Ken Hill's Phantom is much more authentic than the ALW version.

I love how the moral of the musical is that nobody is innocent. Everyone does messed up stuff and everyone tries to justify their actions and try to be the hero of their own storie but we're all human beings at the end of the day, we all make mistakes

NIGHTWISH phantom of the opera listen

I wanna see more thrift hauls!

Oofffff. Called out.

KID YOU NEED HELP

A very cosy chat! Why do I feel like reading now...

Yawn.. who are u?what are ur background? It seems u miss the whole point of the show... ...just because of the blood?? LOL

Vanessa and Janessa

Comment your plant name suggestions below! I'm looking for a name for the Black Velvet and Prayer plant. <3

27:16 The show (as in most Broadway shows) are geared towards adults (and teens). The use of Grimm tales, and the darker themes dictate this. The show has been adapted (without the 2nd act) for productions in schools, though. (With the necessary adult edges smoothed over).

24:57 The guy in question is Robert Westerberg, who you'll be happy to know is married IRL to the actress Kim Crosby (who plays Cinderella) and have been married for the past 30-some years, currently residing in Springboro, Missouri.

13:44 Oh, almost forgot, if you listen to all of the "learning songs" (I Know Things Now, Giants in the Sky, On the Steps of the Palace), you'll notice that the accompaniment is basically the same.

9:37 The "Bean Theme" prevades throughout the score, starting with the very next song intro "I Guess This Is Goodbye" and inverted in "No one is alone" at "people make mistakes", of course Rapunzel's tune is this as well.

7:16 Jack is a teenager, on the cusp of manhood.

4:41 Bernadette Peters was in her late 30s when this was taped.

Oooo what a journey! But so worth the final result!

Since you are checking out musicals, you should watch and react to Team StarKid's musical parodies. They have 12 full-length musicals on their RUclips channel. They parody Harry Potter (A Very Potter trilogy), Star Wars, Batman, Disney (specifically Aladdin), and many more. Warning: there is a lot of cursing and "adult" situations, but the comedy, the acting, and the music/songs make up for it. You should give them a go since they went from a group of college theater friends to creating a theater productionion company that still produces content to this day.

I don't know if you're only interested in Sondheim musicals, but there are some other really good ones by other authors you might be interested in, e.g. "Next to normal", "Hedwig and the angry inch" and "Spring Awakening".

i love chip zien so much

It is the job of great art to comfort the afflicted… and afflict the comfortable.

I've always thought it fascinating that with the Sondheim/Lapine shows - this and _Sunday In the Park With George_ - the story that audiences remember and come to see is in Act 1, and then all the thematic stuff happens in Act 2. I can't really think of any other plays that work that way.

I liked your reaction to the slipper scene./"Careful My Toe!"
