I remember that in school, my classmates were making a musical. I was the one who hated all of the decisions they made (like casting bad singers as the main characters because they didn’t put up auditions), but never spoke up because I wasn’t the one in charge.
I play guitar so I want to try to make this joke for other fellow guitarists to relate to. Me: Practice makes perfect! I can totally get this! Also me when my brain doesn't listen to what I said 0.001 seconds ago: How dare you play the wrong chord! Your darn fingers are in the wrong spot. Play the right fret! Strings are out of tune, let me just tune it back. Oops! String breaking time! Tell me, relatable?
I had friends who went to high school with Lynn Manuel Miranda, one of whom is a theater kid and they probably knew each other. We probably would have gone to the same parties... if I had been cool enough to go to parties... 🎉
Ok but why did I actually relate to the Hamilton part 😂 I'm the homeschooled theater kid who has to SIGN UP for a play and the type to just already memorize all of my character's songs and then just practice songs from other musicals you will probably never even do 🥲
I was theatre kid adjacent in high school (pit orchestra ftw) and I don't think the theatre kids geeked out about Hamilton. They were much more eager to do impromptu presentations on obscure musicals you've never heard of.
I’m getting ready for the opening a musical im in. I am Wednesday in the Addams family and I am really scared. This is perfect timing and it made me laugh so hard :D
I can confirm this is how we act. I just started Aladdin. I am also gonna see wicked soon. One tip you missed the fact that we quote lines of music or dialog from musicals even if we are having a perfectly normal conversation with someone who doesn't know musicals all that well. I also did 4 other shows before Aladdin
- Does incredible - nobody else did better - clear advantage - gets chosen as someone who’s only voiceline is a faint scream when they die 34 seconds into the play
As a theatre kid, I will confirm this is incredibly relatable. Also, I recently did a musical so I can confirm that we did once have an extremely long rehearsal. My least favorite part about being in theatre is that if you have to dance, run, sing, and almost bust your vocal cords, you still have to act like you aren't tired.
As someone who does theatre but not musical theatre I can confirm this is why I don’t do musical theatre. While it’s mainly because I can’t sing. But also this.
My day is complete. Thank you for this highly entertaining, highly heartfelt short movie. The first time I tried to get a a role in a play and become a theatre kid, I got cast as ensemble
as a theater kid, i can confirm that going to ihop (or a similar diner) is a tradition. however i found it very unrealistic how a theater kid was invited to a big party as i have never been to one. except for last weekend when we were having a cast party and the cops got called on us and all we were doing was playing just dance and wii sports and drinking lemonade
As someone who is a theatre kid and had only theatre kid friends at one point, I can confirm that the Hamilton part is the best possible way to describe a Hamilton faze.
As someone who is a band geek but has a friend who's a theater kid I can confirm the part about teaching people who aren't even the play dances is 100% true😂😂
The vocal warm up brought a tear to my eye. Bet you’ll make an amazing background tree too!
thanks, i'm honored to be the background tree
@@EliseEcklundI have to say, there was someone in our last play who had that reaction and everyone wants them to stop doing theater
As a theatre kid, I can confirm this is exactly how we are
me too
could not say it better myself
Yup!
Same
Omg same😅😂
As a theater kid, I feel very represented in the projects that Elise puts out
this is so freaking true i was in a play in october and me and my friends went to ihop🤣
Agreed
Yeah like it’s my entire mayor so this was halarious 😆
Yeah
As a theatre kid I can confirm that we are exactly like this and I truly appreciate someone that finally understands us🙏
Funny!! 😂😂😂 I'm in theater but I'd say only a few of these things are true for me!
Yeee
Yeah
This is is exactly how we are like, NOT EVEN KIDDING
Exactlyyyyy😂!!
as a theatre kid that’s in an upcoming Seussical musical, this is totally 100% accurate.
that's wild, i'm in an upcoming seussical performance too, lol
My first show was suessical kids, so that makes me happy~
@@vicent_doesnt_care we’re high schoolers doing Seussical JR lmao
Same.
My first show was Seussical! What role are you? Break a leg!!!
I remember that in school, my classmates were making a musical. I was the one who hated all of the decisions they made (like casting bad singers as the main characters because they didn’t put up auditions), but never spoke up because I wasn’t the one in charge.
That Vibrato is amazing.
THANKS
As a theater kid who is about to have the opening night of my show tonight, this came at the perfect time and is 100% accurate. Thank you Elise!
hope it went well
I had opening night same day!!! What play did you do?
I also had one!!!
@@JustMeandMyPaperDragons Secret Garden! I played Lily :)
@@tomjohnson4922 It went awesome!
I’m no theater kid but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this hilarious video. Keep it up!
"All You Need To Know About Being A Theater Kid In Under Three Minutes"
The "Sound of Music" bit was actually solid vocals 😶
THANK YOU
true
🥰🥰@@EliseEcklund
the apple juice handing was just magnificent never have I seen such beauty
I’m not a theater kid, but MAN THIS A MASTERPIECE!!!😂😂😂
Same
This is 100% accurate 😂 thank you so much for showing it to the world! 💗
as a band kid, choir kid, and theatre kid, i see this as an absolute win
I play guitar so I want to try to make this joke for other fellow guitarists to relate to.
Me:
Practice makes perfect!
I can totally get this!
Also me when my brain doesn't listen to what I said 0.001 seconds ago:
How dare you play the wrong chord! Your darn fingers are in the wrong spot. Play the right fret! Strings are out of tune, let me just tune it back. Oops! String breaking time!
Tell me, relatable?
heyy same!
I was in choir for about 4 years in school
I'm a theatre kid, and this is 100% correct
I had friends who went to high school with Lynn Manuel Miranda, one of whom is a theater kid and they probably knew each other. We probably would have gone to the same parties... if I had been cool enough to go to parties... 🎉
*Lin
2:52 THE DOG IS SO CUTE-😊
As someone going to be in a musical this is exactly how theatre kids are
So much talent elise. Outstanding.
Still bummed that you didnt get the Shrek role though
I think she would make a great background tree 😢😅
thanks
Ye :D she wont even need a costume
😂
Ok but why did I actually relate to the Hamilton part 😂
I'm the homeschooled theater kid who has to SIGN UP for a play and the type to just already memorize all of my character's songs and then just practice songs from other musicals you will probably never even do 🥲
every single word you just said is literally me 😅
Don’t forget memorising every word i the script
You just described me
Being a theater kid, I can confirm the accuracy of this video
2:19 (DDLC flashbacks)
I was theatre kid adjacent in high school (pit orchestra ftw) and I don't think the theatre kids geeked out about Hamilton. They were much more eager to do impromptu presentations on obscure musicals you've never heard of.
I feel seen
I'm not gonna lie, that vibrato was actually amazing.
thank you so much
5 seconds in and it’s already very accurate. Had a couple theater kid friends and they said that exact thing in the exact same way, sing songy and all
Good to see you, Elise. Hope you and your family are well.
Great video, Elise....love the Sooby-Doo sound effects.
As a theatre kid, this is 100% accurate
OMG i saw her smileeeeeee
Its so pretty dont worry
at the exact time on the vid
2:12
You being able to do all of these things without even snickering truly is a talent lmao
This is completely accurate amazing video Elise 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻
This made my day tysm Elise!
I hope you're having a great holiday. Thanks for all the joy you bring to everybody
2:11 No, this can't be... SHE SMILED! Ladies and Gentleman I Announce ELISE *SMILED AND LAUGHED*
Yo, that kid at the very end was IMPRESSIVE! Elise did alright I guess
As a theater person I relate
glad u can relate
The dancing to give someone something so simple is 100% accurate (I say this as a theater kid)
That dog was truly a great actor. Also i think you will make a great tree :D❤
Thank you for representing us theatre kids!!!💀
I wish I had a friend like elise 😄
as a theater kid i think this is a masterpiece
Literally me 😭
LOL good way to end a week is by watching one of these videos , Thank You
As a Theatre kid, you are the only person that has us 100% accurate… you literally can’t get better than this 😂😂
The dance number is so accurate 🤣🤣🤣
yes.
so true 0:50
Elise has the most wholesome cursing.
I have a Theatre Kid as a friend and this is really accurate
I’m getting ready for the opening a musical im in. I am Wednesday in the Addams family and I am really scared. This is perfect timing and it made me laugh so hard :D
THEATER KID FOREVER!!
As a theatre kid, I agree:,]
The 30 minute presentation hit me hard!!! Also this is literally me especially the MOM LOOK WHAT I LEARNED AT REHEARSAL and then I fail to do so
Oh my gosh as someone in show choir, dance, plays, amd choir this is literally so true 😂😅
Im a huge theatre kid and this is wayyyy to accurate 💀💀💀
Apparently, my schools production is having the title “SHREK THE MUSICAL” as 2024’s production plan and will be performed during the concert 😂
Never forget The Cup Song that someone would attempt in between rehearsals
That was me a month ago 💀🤣
Why is this so true though- I can confirm this is how theatre kids act like because I have a friend who’s a theatre kid.
I can confirm this is how we act. I just started Aladdin. I am also gonna see wicked soon. One tip you missed the fact that we quote lines of music or dialog from musicals even if we are having a perfectly normal conversation with someone who doesn't know musicals all that well. I also did 4 other shows before Aladdin

2:27 that was the best thing I ever heard in my freaking life

As a theater kid, can confirm
This is the most accurate representation of a theater kid! Coming from a theater kid herself 😅
2:40
the actual video: 10 pm
The captions: 1 pm
I know so many theater kids that this is just too accurate
You are the spitting image of my therapist! Now I go to the sessions and laugh at her. Thank you
As a great great great great grandmother of a great great great great granddaughter of a theater kid, I can confirm this is so true.
2:18 THE DDLC BACKGROUND IS EVERYTHING
Yeah I know a theatre kid, Elsie just knows how to represent people so well
- Does incredible
- nobody else did better
- clear advantage
- gets chosen as someone who’s only voiceline is a faint scream when they die 34 seconds into the play
As a freshman theater kid, let’s just say high school theater is absolute utter chaos and I’m here for it
I’ve never been in theater before, but I SWEAR that is basically a more unhinged version of me 😂
2:12 SHE SMILED! SHE IS SO PRETTY SMILING! (she is also stunning not smiling but she looks so good when she’s smiling too ❤)
As a theatre kid, I will confirm this is incredibly relatable. Also, I recently did a musical so I can confirm that we did once have an extremely long rehearsal. My least favorite part about being in theatre is that if you have to dance, run, sing, and almost bust your vocal cords, you still have to act like you aren't tired.
Not me freaking out when I saw the Harry Styles cardboard cutout at 1:02 and 2:06 😂
As someone who does theatre but not musical theatre I can confirm this is why I don’t do musical theatre.
While it’s mainly because I can’t sing. But also this.
My day is complete. Thank you for this highly entertaining, highly heartfelt short movie.
The first time I tried to get a a role in a play and become a theatre kid, I got cast as ensemble

as a theater kid, i can confirm that going to ihop (or a similar diner) is a tradition. however i found it very unrealistic how a theater kid was invited to a big party as i have never been to one. except for last weekend when we were having a cast party and the cops got called on us and all we were doing was playing just dance and wii sports and drinking lemonade
As someone who is a theatre kid and had only theatre kid friends at one point, I can confirm that the Hamilton part is the best possible way to describe a Hamilton faze.
True
Yeah, sounds accurate. Especially the Hamilton part
“Bum bum defing gravity” had me on the floor Elise is so funny when she does this
This is the best thing I’ve seen today!🤣❤️
Mom of a theatre kid here - It was all very accurate but oddly I was particularly delighted when the pup took a bow at the end. You were upstaged.
Me doing theatre every now and then, I can confirm everything in this video is 100% true.
As someone who is a band geek but has a friend who's a theater kid I can confirm the part about teaching people who aren't even the play dances is 100% true😂😂
2:12 - 2:17
She smiled!! 😁
As a theater kid, I can confirm that this exactly how we act all the time
The apple juice thing was so accurate I almost died. Us theater kids really be like that.
The hills are alive with The Sound of Music, with songs they have sung for a thousand years
i love your videos and shorts so much! you will be a great tree!
thank you so much!
Theatre kid here, this is so true. I actually just got the cast list for a musical I tried out for today, and I am ensemble.😢
I'm a choir kid, which is more similar to theater than people think, and this hits spot on. Thank you for making me laugh today! ❤😂
As a theatre kid doing The Sound of Music, I will be disappointed if we don’t sound like that
As a theater kid that literally had our closing show today, I was like "Oh shit wait do I do that?"
as a band kid, i can confirm that all the theatre kids at my school are like this
