I know at least one person is already set it but that he actually rewrite it or is he just ringing off of it but it does show he has great acting skills to improvise and go with the flow of the narrative he is given that's the kind of actor you want no matter if they write the script or not
He's really good at getting into character! I call them the Beetlejuice arms. One of my favorite things is that Alex loves to always have his arms up as Beetlejuice, so he always looks a bit like a raptor and rarely has his hands by his side. I did look into what MJ mentioned (stimming) and I think those sorts of actions are just what Alex is bringing to the character. On the other hand, MJ's comment just helped me to diagnose quite a few tics that I thought were random, so I appreciate that info!
alex brightman deserved the tony for best lead actor. he sings like that 8 shows a week and has to keep his voice in perfect shape to ensure he can keep doing it while not absolutely destroying his vocal cords. what did santino fontana do? put on a dress?
milo smith You’re totally right that he should have won but he actually doesn’t damage his vocal chords at all doing the voice because he uses parts of his throat that most people can’t. It’s a very weird thing but it’s super interesting and he talks about it in some interviews if you wanna hear more about it.
In an interview Alex revealed that doing the voice for him isn’t hard. Somehow he is able to talk so deep without hurting his voice and can switch to and from the voice in a snap
I love people getting really into character! I can’t help but do the same when I’m in costume, so this Halloween I went around and acted strange right until I took off everything. It was very fun.
i’ve noticed that for most broadway shows that are on the today show and stuff there’s never that many people it seems and it honestly makes me super sad
I love how he changes the lyrics but still makes it fit perfectly into the song without messing up the timing at all, I wonder if he does this on the fly or if it’s planned out before hand
The audio is fully pre-recorded, Alex is not singing live. For GMA specifically, too cold to risk singing live, plus it wouldn’t sound as good. Eddie Perfect is the one responsible for the rewrites
@@blah7983 too cold? This was filmed in spring, at the coldest it's 60, nobody is out there in winter gear. And he is singing live, he's got mics under his wig that stick out on his forehead, PLUS if it was prerecorded why would his mic feed back at 1:05 when he walks from the side walkway on the main performance area and RIGHT NEXT TO A SPEAKER? That doesn't happen unless those mics are live and have signal sent to those speakers.
Let’s call it a draw. Eddie definitely rewrites the song, considering the background dancers sometimes have different lines for different performances, and not unlike celebrity singers they probably record a version ahead of time to play in the background as a guide and a fallback. But Brightman is definitely singing, which is clear from the feedback and some of the quips
He probably has been enjoying most every show he's done for Beetlejuice. He's a lucky actor to be able to have a show to do that he seems to really enjoy doing.
@@fluffydevil13 well I did not know my dear and furthermore I'm a bigger fan of Beetlejuice than I am a fan of School of Rock the only time I ever saw it was Jack Black
Alex is an incredibly talented man! Every version of this song i've heard has been incredible, hilarious, and incredibly hilarious. Well done to the entire cast of the show! Beetlejuice may be one of my new favorite musicals~
Noticed the actor who usually gets pulled off stage by the giant snake chills on the side to the right until she seamlessly re-enters at 3:05! super cool to see how they do that choreography
1:05 The moment you realize this is really live because he walked too close to the speaker and caused a feedback loop with his microphone, causing a loud beep
Me and my husband went to NYC from Sweden and got married in city hall in the evening, bought pizza on the way back to the hotel and then saw Beetlejuice on Broadway 50 seconds away from the hotel. Best. Fucking. day. ever.❤️❤️👍🏻brilliant show!
The lyrics changing between performances makes it feel like even the rigidity of a storyline that's already been written can barely contain Betelgeuse's brand of chaos.

I love the fact that every rendition of this is extremely different, it’s like a different song entirely
PD Sketch it’s amazing and Never gets old!
i've heard 3 versions so far are there more?
yeah, same with the original, and the tonys!
He says shit in the show, so it has to be
Darkest Argentum the one for the official album is at least slightly different from the one in the play
he flawlessly changes lyrics and its so natural what a legend
IKR
Well he did have a queue card to read from for the changes 😂😂😂
This was pre recorded audio. He was essentially lip syncing. Lowers the probability of a slip up or vocal imperfections.
@@unknowngaming1432 the audio would also sound like shit if he did it outside

I love how he changed from a music teacher to someone who can and will snap your neck in a second.
Bold of you to assume that those are two different things
@@kxli8833 very true, my teacher was definitely at that point, called my sister "the bitch in green"

Troom troom Halloween special
The way they changed up the lyrics for this then for the Tony Awards is just genius. Absolutely genius.
They also changed it for the recorded album 😄👌🏻
And the Macy’s parade
"Hey Adam Driver, you killed Han Solo!"
@@Horltum not cool bro
The the Macy's day parade
Beetlejuice was Robbed, ROBBED I SAY
HADESTOWN IS A MASTERPIECE!! alongside with Beetlejuice. Just one had to win.
Still think Alex should have won best actor.
@@mikewilhelm2977 Beetlejuice was up for a few things and one NOTHING
ROBBED.
ROBBED Y'ALL
I love the way Alex moves his hands when he’s running.
Madeline The Kid OH MY GOD like a lil t-rex
Madeline The Kid it’s called stimming, folks. I have it and I can see it from a mile away....
Like mixing Jack Sparrow and a demon trickster overlord
Like Nathan Lane

He even said that his normal voice damages his voice more then his beetlejuice voice!
Yesssss he should have
Or George Salazar cus all the emotion he conveys in the musical
bless, he stays in character when they come to shake his hand, I love it.
I love people getting really into character! I can’t help but do the same when I’m in costume, so this Halloween I went around and acted strange right until I took off everything. It was very fun.
He sniffed her 😂
I haven’t heard the same version twice! Makes it even more impressive!
Becca Antoine I cant say that because I’ve watched each version about 100 times a piece!
I love how they always change the lyrics to fit where they’re performing
Just soo surprised that there’s not much people, I would LOVE to be there
ZUEZULTRA same here!!
i’ve noticed that for most broadway shows that are on the today show and stuff there’s never that many people it seems and it honestly makes me super sad
@@GAYLANSIMMONS they perform at 6 am
Miss.Vpandacake as does every other artist that performs, but they always have huge crowds
Miss.Vpandacake true, but like. IN NEW YORK, having front row seats to broadway performers is worth it tbh
damn alex really got me feeling some time of way while signing his jazz part

“I’m king. Forget Mufasa”
Me:
*Excuse me?*
*Yeah nevermind*
Lol
im not even mad i mean hes beetlejuice

“Aaaah”
“NOT good!”

don't we all?
He should have won best lead actor
Sophia Lynn
Don’t we all

If you like Alex brightman you should hear him as fizzaroli in helluva boss on vivziepop's channel. He uses his beetlejuice voice for the character.
1:21 my music teacher's two personalities during concerts
I died at the end after he shook her hand and smelled her hair, Alex Brightman in character is literally amazing
Saw this 2 days ago, incredible. This clip doesn't do it justice
Jim M it’s on already??
I love how this song is never the same 😭 I wish their was a playlist of every single varient
i love alex’s energy even in the morning 😂
it’s amazing how fluently he changed up lyrics. he deserves all the awards
I can’t wait for the obcr to come out
Same
someeski_person June Seventh!!
I brush my teeth and drink orange juice I know I’m soooo excited!!!!!
Wait they recorded it and are releasing it?!
M_J only the soundtrack, but there is a bootleg of the show on here somewhere
I just realized his nails are painted black.
i think it’s chipped as well, if that’s on purpose that’s a really cool detail
Every performance I've watched and I just now noticed he's at a funeral
I love how they change the lyrics for every situation
Petition to have every different rendition of The Whole Dead Thing on spontify
0:30 😈 It’s “Broadway Show” time!🌩⚡️🌩
“Why am I awake here?”
HEY ITS ME!!
He probably has been enjoying most every show he's done for Beetlejuice.
He's a lucky actor to be able to have a show to do that he seems to really enjoy doing.
This show was just 100% awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I lived in nyc I’d see it again
Alex Brightman does the insane erratic personality so well lmao
How he never broke character it is amazing
1:02 I would die if Alex Brightman booped me
HE SMELLED THE LADY IN THE END, WHAT A LEGEND
Something tells me Alex Brightman is going to be the new Daddy of 2019 much like Mark Ruffalo was considered daddy material last year
Heather RaeStrickland he’s been daddy material since School of Rock
@@fluffydevil13 well I did not know my dear and furthermore I'm a bigger fan of Beetlejuice than I am a fan of School of Rock the only time I ever saw it was Jack Black

I wonder if he smells like death you know like he’s bathed in Axe body spray

Ok but Beetlejuice is definitely bi or pan and nobody is talking about it.
Oh wow it's almost like most people don't question the sexuality of a fucking poltergeist demon thing but that being said he is definitely bi
HIGSOPUS I try not to overanalyze but gays can sniff each other out lol
Ava K. Hello fellow gay I’m bi
Ok... Listen up B's I'mma P! GET ON MAH LEVEL!

i think this song is different every time... new jokes and commentary added. That's great! :)

that ensemble member in the background just talking to the fans lmao
4:06 HE SNIFFS HER XD
this is so chaotic and im here for it
alSO ARE HIS NAILS PAINTED?
I THINK SO
They are
Yep
After listening to the cast album, this seems really weird 😂😂
It really does
I can’t imagine how uncomfortable they feel lip syncing
Audrey Keenan they’re probably actually singing it’s just they put this over it cause it’s better
Gabriella O’Brien they usually lip sync on shows like this but that could be true
Audrey Keenan ouch my heart
I see actual head mics and you can hear breath so I think this ones actually live. Especially with the changed lyrics
the audio is just out of sync. A synced version is at ruclips.net/video/2tMzmJ14wZM/видео.html
dude the amount of impromptu talent and just pure chaos from Alex is crazy
Dead but...
LIIIIIIII-IIIIIVE
LISTEN UP LET ME TELL YOU A STORY
The woman in the white coat, at the beginning, why is Beetlejuice crouching down here?
omg- wait the girl at like 2:59 on the left-ish middle ish area idk is so so gorgeous
💔 how much u wanna be she’s a swing
It’s Dana!! Girl Scout/ Lydia cover
The actor who plays as Beetlejuice he looks like he's enjoying his time right now
I saw it and loved it! Alex is the best ever! I squealed when he got the ukulele out!
i love how alex changes the lyrics according to the event 😂
Is he the same guy who played Dewey Finn in the School of Rock musical?
yeah!
@@mango-rk6fb Thanks
I knew it
Yep... UwU
Isn’t that jack black?
can't say how much time I've watch this but Alex brightman is talented
The lyrics changing between performances makes it feel like even the rigidity of a storyline that's already been written can barely contain Betelgeuse's brand of chaos.
I’m so glad I got to see this in New York.
this is glorious
I will pay the cast a million dollars to play this song at my funeral 😭❤️
The way he takes a side-step closer to the crowd to make sure they're in frame (and also pat the one lady's head) is both endearing and professional.
3:08 no one makes it out aliiiiiiiiiiiiive❤❤❤❤
I love how they changed the lyrics just for this! They put so much effort into this stuff! So talented
"How you doin?"
*crying noises*
"Not good? okay!"
*Followed by random gibberish noises*
I love how the lyrics slightly change with every performance
I love the way he moves his hands and how he climbs on the casket lol
I love that every video I see of this number, the lyrics are always different. Absolutely phenomenal
I like how this is also fizzarolli

It does look like him doe ngl-
I saw this on tour last night, absolute time of my life
I heard this song first before the actual ‘The Whole Being Dead Thing,’ I’ve never been more confused in my life.
3:16
“Real emotion” me too bro. Me too.
I love that man so much. Hes so happy and pure.
Why the frick is there not many people there? Alex deserves a huge audience
2:30 I'm literally dead 💀🤚
The absolute chaotic energy of this is so amazing 😂
4:05 LMAO BETELGEUSE LITERALLY SNIFFED HER
I absolutely *ADORE* this
God, Alex does such an amazing job. I love how every version is different. He must have so much fun with this
when he said "we're gonna bake a cake here" (2:16) he shouldn't gestured toward the bakery lol.
That's how I got to know Alex Brightman
This is such a great song
I need that coat. I NEED it.
I love how he comes up with new lyrics for every situation he's in
I love this musical so much
alex brightman is and always be my favorite person
Imagine just walking down the street being a beetlejuice can and see this
Love how he fucking sniffs the anchor after the performance, ALWAYS. IN. CHARACTER.
