one of my favorite bits in Cup Of Roasted Coffee is how _visibly_ Emma displays her apathy. you can see it in the dance and hear it in the singing, such as the enthusiatic "Oi oi oi.."
All these "okays"... you know Ashley, I think that since you're a vocal coach, you're getting the opposite of the apotheosis. You're getting Paul-ified.
In regard to Paul's being uncomfortable/character development, one cute subtle detail I have seen people point out is that he's generally less afraid when he's not alone, and whenever a musical number starts with other people around he focuses more on protecting them. You see it a little bit here with Emma here, but it's more noticeable going forward. It's very sweet. Or maybe he's just less afraid of being killed by zombies than he is of a regular musical number and a mildly uncomfortable social situation, which is fair enough really
The "how do ya how do ya how do ya do" section gives me goosebumps everytime, such a cool way to show the apotheosis, the chorus coming in and making the verse literally more powerful to signify it. Amazing drama!
i'm pretty sure lauren lopez, who plays emma, has said in an interview that acting absolutely done about the coffee song is harder than doing it enthusiastically. it's really the kind of song that puts a smile on your face despite the dark implications. also, this is one of my favorite songs from this musical! i'm so weak to harmonies, it just does things to my ears. and you really should buckle up for the plot to pick up lmao from the three hatchetfield musicals guy who didn't like musicals have really good twists.
I think Jeff was playing with the two- and three-part harmonies here, shifting back and forth between them. Because there are three singers, you can have three parts to the harmony, but two of them are being controlled and seem to share a voice, with Emma being the odd one out, so you can do two-part harmonies instead. Then, in the second half where Emma isn’t participating, they go with two-part harmony until the poisoned men start singing, which brings them back to three-part harmonies. It’s quite well done!👍
Yay, more TGWDLM! Thanks. As a Jon Matteson stan, one of the big things I love about this musical is the slow unveiling of his true power level as a performer... dude was such a meme here ~ and we still got a ways to go. 😁 I'm glad your having fun with this show.
I love the way that this sequence hits that things are getting scary and serious. Up until now it's been a bunch of people randomly bursting into song, but now they've started poisoning people and those people have also started singing. Things are ramping up!
@@singwithAshley the guy who didn’t like musicals is a comedy lol!! I am absolutely pumped to see your reaction to inevitable!! And I hope you like nerdy prudes must die! That was the first hatchetfield show I saw!
I've seen this musical too much, lol. With your Black Friday series, I was constantly looking up which song was next. With this one, I know which songs are next and I'm SUPER EXCITED about it. I love this musical!
But the way! In the next musical, there’s a song called literal monster, it’s the second song, it’s split in two with a talking part in the middle but it’s not separate songs so don’t separate the video
New video :D I love this song, so I'm hoping you will too ;) Just don't forget to think about the implications.... Emma also doing the choreography so half-heartedly is hilarious Speaking of Paul being uncomfortable, there's definitely rankings for how uncomfortable he is in every song. It's amazing. Ahh I love hearing all your theories about what is happening, it's so fun hearing them from someone who hasn't seen the musical before.
@@singwithAshley ye I caught up and am already considering watching... ride the cyclone or what was it you reacted to earlier? I haven't seen the musical yet though, so I'll do that first :)
@@3mmmaa952 it’s kind of everywhere isn’t it? It has to be because it’s mimicking old school horror films. I am just not a horror junky to catch those references
@@annadownya hahaha thanks for singing with me! I feel like I should create a “Ashley freaks out like Paul” compilation. Of when I say okay like that lol
Yay, I just woke up from a nap!! Super excited to watch because this is such a good song from the musical! Unfortunately I’m sick right now and lost my voice so I can’t sing along 😢But I’ll just enjoy the song while you react even though I can’t sing! 😁
You just know this song must have been difficult to perform for Lauren, as obviously she's going to be enjoying it, but she had to act super unenthusiastic about it, and she did so well!
@@kilian-one-l I would’ve enjoyed pretending to hate singing and dancing. When I’m learning a dance, my face scrunches up in concentration 😅 harder to remember to smile!!
Ashley Kennedy You shall not escape. Your apothiosus shall come just as it came for everyone who watched this show 🎶embrace the song, embrace the song yeah just embrace the song🎶 😈
Im sure someone has asked this, but will you be watching more of hatchetfield? I LOVE nerdy prudes must die, and a lot of the vocals in that one are incredible
@@cubescop yes! Stay tuned and hit the notification bell! Of your not subscribed, make sure you do so you can get a say in my channel decor! (I change my decor based on the series! So fun!)
Hahaha yes Joe! Although I fired Mic 🎙️ because he was of bad quality and am looking to follow that role again 🤣 maybe I needed a Michael instead of a Mike 🤣🤣
As a barista, I vibe with Emma/Lauren's char so much lol. Also has anyone sent u a link to the version of this song where a cast member got sick so the director Nick Lang had to step in for one of the girls (maybe for lauren?) Its a very funny and classic starkid meme. Edit: i found it. It was just for a rehersal. ruclips.net/user/shortsOZKEh-AiXx8?si=OL33XUzdCvdzJtmh
one of my favorite bits in Cup Of Roasted Coffee is how _visibly_ Emma displays her apathy. you can see it in the dance and hear it in the singing, such as the enthusiatic "Oi oi oi.."
The fact that she still does all of the choreography technically perfectly while being so obviously unhappy about it is hilarious.
@@booxmowo2684 that is hilarious!
And Lauren wrote the choreo! So she’s doing that to choreography she made!
@@iz5859 No, actually this is James Tolbert's choreo. There's even a video of him teaching this choreo on his YT channel.
@@niloo_in_blue makes sense! I just remember them talking about Lauren doing choreo for this song in the cast commentary
All these "okays"... you know Ashley, I think that since you're a vocal coach, you're getting the opposite of the apotheosis. You're getting Paul-ified.
@@ivysalen OMG!!! Am I?! Ahhhhhhh I think that’s because I had already reached the apotheosis prior to this musical 😂
@@singwithAshley did we just find a way to escape the apotheosis? 😂
@@twist_ending7545 lol just react to it! Bahaha
in the behind the scenes someone said that this scene with Lauren was her best acting because "she just loves dancing" XD
She choreographed the entire show. (Also I believe the subsequent 2.)
@@annadownyaShe didn't do the choreo for this one, it was James Tolbert.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Pokotho (aka Pokey) IS known as "The Singular Voice," after all.
@@speculativemusings3593 you said that so beautifully! Way better than when I tried to explain that!
@@ForeverDegenerate so cool
This was the first thing I saw from Starkid, my best friend showed me this whole sequence and I was hooked.
@@RobertJW perfection
So...do you think about the implications now ?
@@alexisbidule5555 I’m thinking and it’s scary

Absolutely love this song and the part between "what do you want Paul" and "cup of roasted coffee" has a few of my favourite scenes in it.
@@minimi870 Paul freaking out at Emma has to have been my favorite Paul freak out moment

@@singwithAshley yep! The scenes in question might stretch a little long, so you could split it up into “song”/“reprise” if you want

Side note: no biggie but I think that might have been Jaime growling at the end. Not sure though, Jaime and Mariah are both growlers. 😊🤷♀
10:16 "ok... ok..." I love when you turn into Paul momentarily. Lol. Although you said you react the same. That was just funny.
