Man, I hate it when the video editors throw in random shots of the band and the clip has nothing to do with the track. The trumpet players don't play flugel on this chart yet that's all you see them playing. I'm doing this show right now at Moonlight Theatre in Vista, CA playing lead trumpet and this show is a total blast to play.
Agreed!! Just did this at my school playing bass, but definitely no flugel in this one! As amazing as it is seeing them sing, I would love to see more orchestra, and maybe some sax, especially when that raging tenor comes in

What a talent.
I love that he's still performing even though he's just recording :)
This is his best role to date. A well deserved Tony.
i love how this song builds. subtle to showstopper
"you don't think of repercussions as you taP DANCE THROUGH YOUR LIFE"
And both Norbert and Aaron were Fiyero in wicked lmao
LOVE the expression in the spoken/sung rules. You see the story unfold just from that. NLB is a master! And what a great orchestra and backup singers!

HANRATTY:
It starts very early- Once the baby toys are gone
A kid on the playground has to choose what side he's on
It's the bullies or the good guys, boy there ain't no middle ground
Though hoodlums try to blur the line and twist the truth around
Then they call themselves a winner- but they're self deceiving fools
Cause the game ain't worth winning if you're breaking all the rules
The law is laid upon us when as kids we first ask "why?"
Our parents set the rules when, "cause I said so" they reply
And though I thought I hated them and screamed with all my might
The next time that I had a choice, gee whiz I did what's right
No, I never snuck a drink
I never stole a pack of "Kools"
Cause the game ain't worth winning if you're breaking all the rules

Run a red light, sell some pot

You're either guilty or you're not

Every time we felt the urge
