This is the only song/show I've ever seen that gets a standing ovation in the middle of act 1, this is SUCH a fun number to watch live. As a side note, I just saw Rob McClure in Beetlejuice, he's absolutely hysterical.
As someone who is an ensemble member who is doing a regional production of this show…this number deserves it. The music is stupid high for men (even tenors) plus the dance (all the tap parts and other various musical references that have to occur with precision) is just crazy. This number is very fun to rehearse, but man is it tiring

I just got into musical theater a few weeks ago and got ecstatic when I was able to get a few references (specially the ones related to A chorus line, a musical that I absolutely LOVED)
Keep watching him. He also gets rid of one of the girl dancer's skirts and at the end he has the portrait that Rob McClure grabs to hold up at his face as they all do the Chorus Line thing. He did a good job of being completely unobtrusive.
Nick: Do you really think that'll work? Nostrodamus: Actually... Sometimes it works so well, you do the ending of the same song AGAIN!! FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT!!
Just search tap dancing eggs the musical on RUclips. Protip: don’t like, comment, or add the video to any playlists bcuz it triggers the algorithm and copyright bots will look closely at it
Got to see this cast, and all I can say is ROB MCCLURE!!!! They were all amazing, but he stole the show. Amazing tap dancer, high energy, amazing voice, talented, funny, can't say enough good things about him.
Did you happen to catch Rob in "Mrs. Doubtfire" during its five minutes on Broadway (right before the pandemic shut it down, and then after the critics unfairly clobbered it once things opened up again, forcing it to close way too soon)? He was everything you just said about him, PLUS MORE. The man is a brilliant musical comedy talent. Now (in 2023) he's touring the country with Doubtfire, and getting another shot with it. I hope MANY people go to see it and him. They'll go nuts for the guy.
they are continuing next year im either seeing them in modesto or fresno Hopefully, more vlogs will come out toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell are musicals? It appears to be a play where the dialogue stops And the plot is conveyed through song Through song? Yes Wait, so an actor is saying his lines And then out of nowhere he just starts singing? Yes Well that is the Stupidest thing that I have ever heard You're doing a play, got something to say So you sing it? It's absurd Who on earth is going to sit there While an actor breaks into song? What possible thought could the audience think Other than "This is horribly wrong"? Remarkably? They won't think that Seriously? Why not? Because it's a musical A musical And nothing's as amazing as a musical With song and dance And sweet romance And happy endings happening by happenstance Bright lights, stage fights, and a dazzling chorus You wanna be great? Then you gotta create a musical I don't know I find it hard to believe that people would actually pay to see something like this Let's just say it's a Saturday night And you wanna go out on the town Got a lady to flatter who might give it up if you don't let her down You could go see a tragedy But that wouldn't be very fun Or a play from Greek mythology See a mother have sex with her son (eugh) You could see a drama With all of the trauma and pain Or go see something more relaxing and less taxing on the brain Go see a musical A musical A puppy piece, releasing all your blues-icals Where crooners croon (ah) A catchy tune And limber-legged ladies thrill you 'til you swoon Oohs, ahhs, big applause, and a standing ovation The future is bright If you could just write a musical Some make you happy Some make you sad Some are quite big Some quite small Some are too long Some are just plays with song (oh) Some musicals have no talking at all No talking at all? That's right There's no talking All of the dialogue is sung In a very dramatic fashion Uhm, really? Yes, really There's no talking There's no talking And they often stay on one note for a very long time So when they change to a different note, you notice And it's supposed to create a dramatic effect But mostly you just sit there asking yourself "Why aren't they talking?" Sounds miserable I believe it's pronounced Misérable And people actually like this? No, they love it, and what's not to love? It's such a delight There's nothing quite like a musical Oh, another vision, I haven't even told you the best part yet Feel that fascinating rhythm moving to your feet Whoa, whoa (uhm, what is that?) Feel your ass gyrating to that titillating beat (whoa are you okay?) You slap your lap Then fingers snap That's when you know it's time to tap, oh What the hell are you doing now?

What is this and where has it been all my life? This is bloody beautiful! XD The "Les Miserables", "Rent", and "Jesus Christ Superstar" references killed me.
The Seattle Men's Chorus performed "A Musical" about five years ago. I was fortunate. I was one of the chorus members. The sheet music was about 18 pages in lenght, and many of us were like "What?" Well, the director(s) told us it was going to be fabulous, and they were right. It was one o my favorite songs we ever perfomed. As a mostly gay chorus, yes, we got to do jazz hands! That's kind of a thing for the gays. We just can't but want to do jazz hands. "We've got some snappy repartoire, and the chorus boys are kinda gay, "A Musical." Mad respect for these guys on Broadway, as well as for the Seattle Men's Chorus.
This is the single funniest number I’ve ever seen live but I think my absolute favorite joke is the Chorus Line headshots parody at 8:34, especially since they’re all hand-drawn portraits.
Yes Queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The first time I saw this show, "I howled at Will's line, "Here is my head sketch."l I was the only one. People thought I was weird. Still chuckling. lOl I had just had my headshots redone that week so it must have been fresh on my mind. lol
“That sounds miserable!” “I believe it’s pronounced ‘miser-AH-bels’.” Considering that is my favorite musical of all time and every time I see it I keep sobbing even after it’s over I particularly love that reference.
It’s not Broadway unless they mention the gay at least once. Apparently, this lead some people to make even more money by making “The Prom: A new musical”, which is 100% gay. And honestly, I LOVE IT
He also got rid of one of the girl dancer's skirts and got Rob McC's portrait to him at the very end when they all hold up pictures in front of their faces.
Here because I'm looking to add a clip of this to the presentation I'm doing on the choreographer for this show 👀 so happy I get to talk about Something Rotten hehe
The two curly hair dancers were horrible! They weren’t in unison most of the time. It kind of ruined the whole number but since the singers were so incredible, it didn’t take away too much.
“Well that is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard” possibly the greatest Broadway joke of all time
instablaster...
Followed closely by "I believe it's pronounced....Miserab....Les...."
I agree, loved this show!
No the prices are number one, followed by quote unquote “stars” who can’t sing but are used for their pulling power! 😢 😅😅😅
-'That sounds miserable!' - 'It's called Misérables!' 😂😂😂
Me: it's a Showstopping number
Them: musical
Me:shit wrong musical
I need to see Robert Manion perform this song, tbh
I LITERALLY CAME TO THIS VIDEO SO I COULD RECORD IT AND EDIT THE “its... a...” (from show stopping number) AND “musical!” TOGETHER HAHAHA
fellow dikrats!!
Fucking go for it 😂
I knew I wasnt insane when i thought this was Robert manion
“That sounds miserable!”
“I believe it’s pronounced... 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑠”
confirmed french is english cursive
Except you blew the joke by not spelling it phonetically...LOL
My favorite part!
This is the only song/show I've ever seen that gets a standing ovation in the middle of act 1, this is SUCH a fun number to watch live. As a side note, I just saw Rob McClure in Beetlejuice, he's absolutely hysterical.
🤔
I love this musical so much! And I love Rob McClure!
as somebody who's in my schools production of this- it's such a fun number. we just learned it, it's a lot of work and energy but MAN it's so much fun

Yep
This entire show is a fourth wall break.

Insane Iguana Yep
How many rights do you think they had to clear in order to use all those references?
Non, its considered parady. So would be under fair use. But they probably did get permission.
None I would imagine because they barely steal 2 bars at most from any other song
@@stuartbain3558 Yes, and thy can use so many bars in addition to being parody This annoyed my friend who I took last week to see it locally. She was like, "they are such a tease. Just when I wanted to hear more of the songs I know, bam stop and on to another." hahahah!.
@@stuartbain3558Also a form of homage that the audience would recognize such a short clip.
Best original show of the last decade.
You mean, the best comedic song in the history of musical theater?
4:30 Rob almost forgets his line, but they rush through the next few lines, and the timing ends up so perfect, it's almost like it was planned.
Best number in the whole show
How many references do you want?
Something Rotten: YES PLEASE
4:38
Best Part of the Entire song. Undisputed.
They’re so many musical references in this 🤣
You should see the musical they end up performing in the show. Everything from Phantom and Sound of Music, to Dreamgirls.
Wait...there are???
Brilliant- one of the best ever written
You think that this song is good? Well that is the STUPIDEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD!
Jack Does Stuff I-
I just got into musical theater a few weeks ago and got ecstatic when I was able to get a few references (specially the ones related to A chorus line, a musical that I absolutely LOVED)
I love the guy sitting there who is just casually sitting there and slides the cube over at the right moment so Rob Mc Clure can sit down.
Keep watching him. He also gets rid of one of the girl dancer's skirts and at the end he has the portrait that Rob McClure grabs to hold up at his face as they all do the Chorus Line thing. He did a good job of being completely unobtrusive.
"happy endings" *thinks of Heathers and Hamilton* yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Don't forget Falsettos!
Linda Gómez or les miserables!

OMG!!! It’s the touring cast. Brings back great memories 😂😂😂 please post full show if available
It’s different to watch in theater!
@@yiqianwang3155 not everybody has the money to do that

they are continuing next year
im either seeing them in modesto or fresno
Hopefully, more vlogs will come out toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just watched it yesterday night!
Great show! Everyone in theater is thrilled! Laughters and music!
That’s all we need !
Pierce, my dearest tallest darlingest McKinley
One of the best Broadway songs ever; loved by Broadway insiders
I am SO sad I didn't see this. Dear God, it's brilliant.
I wish I could see this show live just for this song
This man is my spirit animal
What the hell are musicals?
It appears to be a play where the dialogue stops
And the plot is conveyed through song
Through song?
Yes
Wait, so an actor is saying his lines
And then out of nowhere he just starts singing?
Yes
Well that is the
Stupidest thing that I have ever heard
You're doing a play, got something to say
So you sing it?
It's absurd
Who on earth is going to sit there
While an actor breaks into song?
What possible thought could the audience think
Other than "This is horribly wrong"?
Remarkably? They won't think that
Seriously? Why not?
Because it's a musical
A musical
And nothing's as amazing as a musical
With song and dance
And sweet romance
And happy endings happening by happenstance
Bright lights, stage fights, and a dazzling chorus
You wanna be great?
Then you gotta create a musical
I don't know
I find it hard to believe that people would actually pay to see something like this
Let's just say it's a Saturday night
And you wanna go out on the town
Got a lady to flatter who might give it up if you don't let her down
You could go see a tragedy
But that wouldn't be very fun
Or a play from Greek mythology
See a mother have sex with her son (eugh)
You could see a drama
With all of the trauma and pain
Or go see something more relaxing and less taxing on the brain
Go see a musical
A musical
A puppy piece, releasing all your blues-icals
Where crooners croon (ah)
A catchy tune
And limber-legged ladies thrill you 'til you swoon
Oohs, ahhs, big applause, and a standing ovation
The future is bright
If you could just write a musical
Some make you happy
Some make you sad
Some are quite big
Some quite small
Some are too long
Some are just plays with song (oh)
Some musicals have no talking at all
No talking at all?
That's right
There's no talking
All of the dialogue is sung
In a very dramatic fashion
Uhm, really?
Yes, really
There's no talking
There's no talking
And they often stay on one note for a very long time
So when they change to a different note, you notice
And it's supposed to create a dramatic effect
But mostly you just sit there asking yourself
"Why aren't they talking?"
Sounds miserable
I believe it's pronounced Misérable
And people actually like this?
No, they love it, and what's not to love?
It's such a delight
There's nothing quite like a musical
Oh, another vision, I haven't even told you the best part yet
Feel that fascinating rhythm moving to your feet
Whoa, whoa (uhm, what is that?)
Feel your ass gyrating to that titillating beat (whoa are you okay?)
You slap your lap
Then fingers snap
That's when you know it's time to tap, oh
What the hell are you doing now?
It's called a dance break
Apparently this happens in musicals as well
People on stage just burst into spontaneous dance
Why? Does it advance the plot? (No)
Advance character? (Not necessarily)
Then why do it?
Because it's entertaining five, six, seven, eight
Another vision
It's a musical
Whaddya talk, whaddya talk
It's a musical
A Suessical?
No, a musical with girls on stage
A musical
We've got snappy repartees
And the women are risqué
And the boys are kind of gay
A musical
A true, blue, new musical
Stand back, it's a musical
Some musicals are very serious
A big, glittering musical
A musical
It's a musical for us
A big and shiny
Mighty fine-y, glitter, glitz, and line-y
Bob your head and shake your hiney musical
It's a musical (it's a musical)
It is a musical (it's a musical)
Yes, I get it now
We'll do a musical (no kidding)
A musical
What could be more amazing than a musical?
With song and dance
And sweet romance
And with a musical we might have half a chance
Oohs, ahhs, big applause with everyone cheering for us
And for some unexplainable reason
The crowd goes wild every time
When dancers kick in unison in one big wonderful line
And then you got yourself a musical
A musical
A la, la, la, la, la, la, la palooza-sical
With splashy style and a big fake smile
A snazzy pants, some jazzy hands, I swear that I'll
Cross my heart, hope to die if it isn't a doozy
Take it from me
They'll be flocking to see
Your star lit
Won't quit
Big hit
Musical
A big hit musical

I'm mesmerised by the female chorus dancer with the red hair ♥
I cant even explain. How much I love this
I saw it on Broadway some years ago when it was brand new. It's so absurd and silly that you can't help falling in love with it.
2:36 this is way dinner if you know that Rob was actually IN Avenue Q
“That sounds miserable!”
“I believe it’s pronounced ‘miser-AH-bels’.”
Considering that is my favorite musical of all time and every time I see it I keep sobbing even after it’s over I particularly love that reference.
5:20 does anyone else hear La Cage aux folles?
3:30
It’s not Broadway unless they mention the gay at least once. Apparently, this lead some people to make even more money by making “The Prom: A new musical”, which is 100% gay. And honestly, I LOVE IT

ElderPoptarts101 Where?
Seth Fericks hes an ensemble member- if im
correct-
He is definitely in this one
I saw this, with the original cast, and it’s the only time I’ve seen a musical where there was a standing O in the first act
Well that sounds miserable
I believe it’s pronounced, Misérables
I love this show so much. Got to see it in Tempe at Gammage and was so grateful.
Just saw a local production of this show last night and was TOTALLY blown away! AWESOME!!
Here because I'm looking to add a clip of this to the presentation I'm doing on the choreographer for this show 👀 so happy I get to talk about Something Rotten hehe
incredible production
And I'm just thinking of making a witcher parody of this song
do it
It just occured to me.
They could rewrite the lyrics every season to include other show refferences.
Did this song got a standing ovation because he deserves one I got stuck in my head
I love this play.
bro it’s a ✨musical✨ not a play 😭😭
Pierce Cassedy 💜
Go Pierce Cassidy I have seen him in the book for Mormon he is fantastic 👏😍
6:06 sounds like “one singular sensation” from chorus line
THE AVENUE Q REFERENCE-
Now I wonder if Shakespeare ever heard about Italian operas
This must be from the tour. That's Rob McClure and Blake Hammond as Nostrodamus.
"A musical." "What the hell is that?" Dude, you're in one lol
Still epic in 2021 ♥️
Still epic in 2022
still epic in 2024 (missed out 2023 but oh well)
A Civic Theater in my hometown area is doing this show in May
we did this for dance, and i love it!!
I think 2:50 is a reference to Pirates of Penzance. “Sergeant Approach”
(Until they bring in Les mis that right at the end)
Anyone know where I can find the sheet music for this version?
ROB!!
Who is playing Nostredamus in this?
Greg Alexander Blake Hammond I think that’s his last name
Saw him as Edna Im hairspray at North Shore Music Theatre he’s amazing

and now for the million dollar question… who here got the reference to the pajama game?
Butter kann man essen.
An I the only one who noticed that the male dancers had uh.. some extra package? Did they do that on purpose 😂?
It’s called a codpiece and was commonly worn by men during the 15th and 16th centuries.
HELL YEAH PERIOD COSTUMES
purplecatlover1825 randompizza It’s actually called a codpiece but go off...
* dannibro * period costumes are costumes accurate for the period being portrayed ... but go off I guess
YEah, guys used to stick their dicks in there outside their trousers.
what is on the paper they hold over their face at the end? playbills?
The headshots are the resumes which is the ending to “hope I get it” from Chorus Line and then the back is a playbill
Where is our full bootleg
How is it that Mel Brooks has never helped make this into a movie? lol .
Thanks for uploading but would it have killed you to zoom out a bit so we could see the whole ensemble??? Lol
h
so inspiring, michele. i felt the same way while watching.
Guy: *Hates the idea of a musical in the beginning*
Also the guy: *starts singing about it*
I hate this movie but THIS song is great
The two curly hair dancers were horrible! They weren’t in unison most of the time. It kind of ruined the whole number but since the singers were so incredible, it didn’t take away too much.
They were women.
I don't see them! Where were they not in unison?
