Its really surprising how hes both close to Alex in perfomance but yet still holds his own style, Alex seems to be a bit more violent/agressive in his perfomance and how he pronounces parts, vs Wills more "upbeat", slightly more campy, delivery of the the lines. Best part being it still fits into beetljuices whole showbiz vibe.
hi. * tldr: (using drama technique), Sophia is acting and doing really well. * she's acting. in this song, lydia is trying to k/ll herself by jumping off. and guess what? depressed/suicidal people aren't very energetic or lively, so of course, she would need to show that through her acting. lydia is a sassy, rebellious but depressed teen. she is sassy and rebellious as she feels it is the only way she gets attention, due to the fact she thinks no one cares about her. this, as well as her mother passing away, causes her depression. to show these traits, sophia has used facial expressions and body language. smirking when she messes up the final "beetlejuice" (showing she is finding it funny and she knows she's being annoying) and (subtly) try and get more information from beetlejuice, tapping beetlejuice on the nose to belittle him, and having relaxed posture to show her uncaring attitude. when talked to (or sang to) by beetlejuice she often looks away to act uninterested, although she may be interested in the content of what he saying, as being rude and disrespectful is often the only times she gets attention. these techniques sophia has employed work really well to show lydia's characteristic. also, this song isnt a full dance number, it is supposed to be more like a conversation. maybe she is uninterested?! or maybe she is actually really good at acting and you just think she is uninterested! but either way, it works for the character, so don't be rude.
siren singer thank you saying that. It annoys me so much when people says she’s ‘so done with the role’ like no SHES JUST ACTING. Her character is (like you said) depression and clearly isn’t going to be excited and lively all the time.
For all of you saying that she is seems lazy in this show, just remember that she is like 17 in this and they do multiple shows a week, she could just be really exhausted or have her mind preoccupied with other things...you know...like a kid would
also lydia’s dealing with a lot and is literally trying to jump off the roof i don’t think she’s supposed to be cheery in this scene. ppl just love to hate her for no reason.
Vicky Torres they only hate her now because of the whole thing leaving thing for the show unexpectedly. But that has nothing to do with the fact that she’s an amazing triple threat
Guys, Sophia is actually not lazy. Her character is the lazy one, but I guess you guys don't know what acting is... Edit- TYSM for all the likes! I didn't expect to seem THAT reasonable!
Yes exactly! And in scenes where Lydia has a lot of emotion, like Home, Sophia puts in so much emotion it’s insane. Lydia is supposed to be chill and calm, not fired up all the time, idk what people are talking about!
@@AJ-os1pq YEAH EXACTLY also near the start of the entire musical when she found out there were real ghosts in her house (A.K.A Barbara and Adam) She sounded so so happy when she said "I asked you to send me a sign is this it" LIKE BRUH PEOPLE DON'T GET IT
crazy tornadoe YESSSS and also in the middle of home when she’s talking to Charles, at first she’s angry but then it gets sad and she’s crying and the acting is soooo good. How do they think she’s sick of the character?????!!!!!
@@AJ-os1pq YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Like we could go on and on and ON about how much emotion Sophia showed during the musical for example at the end of Day-O (my favourite song) when she said "I CAN'T KEEP LIVING LIKE THIS"
Sophia is literally perfect for this character y’all can be crazy. This is called ACTING have y’all even seen the movie? Lydia is supposed to be chill not bouncing off the walls. She’s depressed guys she was just about to kill herself in this scene and a weird ghost cake up and stopped her how tf is she supposed to act?
To the people who think Sophia is Lazy: Sure, but at the beginning, she's about to end herself, not the happiest girl. But after she teases beetlejuice, she realizes life isn’t the worst fate (I really dunno why teasing beetlejuice gave her the thought but meh) she instantly regains energy. And especially at the end. With Carrie Butler and the other guy (can’t remember his name) she seems to be having a blast. She's a professional, but some people can’t see it.
true, a lot of what people regard as "lazy" simply isn't the case and she is acting what the role calls for. in other news there was an obvious change in her entire performance from last summer to this past fall/winter, almost like an I'm over this kind of performance. I'm not speaking about what anyone else has said, that was my observation in seeing multiple performances at different times. Either way, she is very talented young women and wish her her the best.
I didn’t realise Will Blum actually stepped in with Sophia Anne Caruso in some shows because I only ever see Will doing the performance with Presley or Alex and Presley but never once with Will and Sophia until today. 😂
I havnt seen a single person shit on sofia only people saying "for those of you whos saying etc" just be grateful that someones uploaded a bootleg for us
i know its her character- but sophia does seem different in this? like in other bootlegs i’ve seen she’s a lot more..like..into it? idk maybe it was a weird day. i know sophia’s really talented, and not bad at all, but this one just seems kinda dead- idk why
Well, as an actor you act differently bouncing off of different actors, and since this beetlejuice isn't alex brightman, she's probably just acting a little different
@@adele2828 I'm so tired of "oh you can't do better so you're not allowed to criticize someone". Sophia has a very unhealthy was of singing live which can be heard in dead mom. I've seen the show live and many different clips of her online. Her voice isn't healthy. Its a fact. Now grow up and learn that people can have different opinions.
Y’all saying her character is “lazy” and it’s not her are clearly not educated lol. Even if you’re character is supposed to be bored and lazy, you’re supposed to at least add energy to it. Any show I’ve ever been in has had a character like that and the directors specifically point out about the energy you need to add. Literally no matter how lazy or bored your character needs to be, you always, always, always have to have energy. Y’all are just defending her because you like her, I liked her too but in this she was clearly uninterested.
Crestfallen Princess she did not get “replaced” she left to pursue tv work. she may decided to leave bc she was tired of doing 8 shows a week but y’all need to understand that lydia is not supposed to be happy in this scene, she’s suicidal, she’s not supposed to be cheery. y’all love to come at sophia for her interpretation when she’s literally the one who’s been developing the character for years. musical lydia? all sophia and director’s input.
At first I was like oh wow this must be an off day for alex his voice sounds not as raspy as before then I realised its not Alex its his understudy

Ammeg Xx and her character is like that
also ain't lydia depressed? if you wanna see big manic energy, watch next to normal
also lydia’s dealing with a lot and is literally trying to jump off the roof i don’t think she’s supposed to be cheery in this scene. ppl just love to hate her for no reason.

She did that bullshit like 8 times a week
SHE JUST DIDN'T SAY MY NAME GOD DAMMED
Lol i wonder why?
Lol💚
Omgggg hi BJ

woofle You’re welcome!!!!

essentially shes too good an actor lol
Everyone is thinking Alex Brightman is the best and only Beetlejuice but Will Blum is amazing too!
The Raven Warlord i love will’s beetlejuice
When she sings ‘slaughter’ it gives me life
“I don’t want you in my corner.”
😏
Instead of killing by "daddy" just replace him 😉
Lillith Brimhall Will Blum could be my daddy any day of the week. 😉 🤤
Everyone : talks about people saying Sophia is lazy and that it's not true
Me : literally doesn't see any comments talking about that
"Why won't you get a job? Why is your hair purple? I should of left like your father" probably one of my favorite lines of the show 😂😂
I didn’t realise Will Blum actually stepped in with Sophia Anne Caruso in some shows because I only ever see Will doing the performance with Presley or Alex and Presley but never once with Will and Sophia until today. 😂
You know if Beetlejuice said she had to say his name 4 times she would have said it 3 times. Just a thought
This Lydia is perfect
shes not lazy im sure its apart of the role, i mean look at how quick she jumped up on the second beetle juice like a burst of energy.
0:30 the little smile 🥺
Will Blum is so cool as Beetlejuice!!
I haven’t seen a single comment about her being lazy...
Because she's not lazy?
Will Blum could slap me and I would thank him. What a legend. 💚💜💚
Guys, Sophia's character is lazy. She has been working on playing Lydia since she was 15, please don't tell her how to play Lydia
sophia went crazy on him in the first half
I havnt seen a single person shit on sofia only people saying "for those of you whos saying etc"
just be grateful that someones uploaded a bootleg for us
i know its her character-
but sophia does seem different in this? like in other bootlegs i’ve seen she’s a lot more..like..into it? idk maybe it was a weird day. i know sophia’s really talented, and not bad at all, but this one just seems kinda dead- idk why
skittles ikr
Well, as an actor you act differently bouncing off of different actors, and since this beetlejuice isn't alex brightman, she's probably just acting a little different
Lydias voice seemed really harsh like it made my through hurt listening to her
It's not like you can do any better... you're not the one who was chosen for the role.
{Kipshas1} it’s literally their opinion don’t be rude about it like-
@@adele2828 I didn’t say I could do better. Read my comment the right way before hating.

{Kipshas1} ok thanks no one asked 😌
alex brightman we want you back please!!!
This is the old original cast. Alex still plays Beetlejuice.
@@meganstott7837 thx
Marley Rutherford this is the understudy Will Blum. Alex never left the show. The show is no longer on Broadway now though
Fire Bros must you bring up such a terrible topic 😔🤧
I dono...... Will Blum is pretty cute... 😉🤤💜

She's not actually lazy tho? She's suicidal and you're not really supposed to act lively
yeah, probably why she got replaced by Presley lmao

I’ve not seen one person insult Sophia
this does not sound broadway quality... why is “beetlejuice” not talking with a raspy voice? is this a high school version?
Alexander Brown it’s Alex’s understudy. It’s still on broadway but the original actor wasn’t there.
@@letti1477 thats will blum
Sophia really seems to not putting much effort into that..
I mean that could just be her acting like Lydia, but I can see what you're saying..Sophia could have just been tired and exhausted.
I should be doing a beetle juice play but I’m in quarantine now
@@oliviamcconnachie3677 ..Sorry to hear.
did you by chance reply to the wrong comment? Because you just randomly brought that up.
HabitsRabbit just said it
Olivia Mcconnachie can you get a license for it?
❤😂🎉😢😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤
🎉❤😂😢😮😅😊
Not Alex Brightman
it's his understudy
is this the real thing or a high school production?? :/
What ?
Real.. it's one of their earlier runs
It doesn't look anything like a high school production...
they can’t do a high school production yet bcs it hasn’t finished its first run on broadway..... well it has but it was unexpected
Guys it’s obviously a joke. High school productions wouldn’t have this set design and they definitely wouldn’t have 40 year olds in their play. Lol
