But then I had the time of my life jamming out, getting hit with a tortilla - such a fun show to watch with straight bops!! They were also so kind during the meet & greet.

    I genuinely adore Keith, but I want to talk about literally everyone else haha!
    Hughie’s determination is inspiring. His extensive lineup of work and projects is wild. His enthusiasm for music is showcased perfectly in this show and was really interesting to observe in this video. A true and well-deserved blessing of a display of talent.
    Alex’s story about his experience is heartbreaking. What an incredible mental feat he overcame to jump to success with his grit, passion, and charming personality combined. He deserves everything this world has.
    Brain’s performance was astounding. Just from the little clip shown in the video, I immediately fell in love with the character of Flim Flam. The shear amount of authenticity in his performance was entrancing to see and added so much love into his portrayal.
    The ensemble just absolutely crushed it. It’s clear how much they truly care about the success of the show, and how much they’re fulfilled by getting to be a part of it. I wish all of them long, successful, and bright careers to come.
    Thank you for such a joyful and uplifting video to bring a smile to so many people’s faces who will watch it. I look forward to more content from Lewberger’s passionate and creative minds.

    Hughie I love your music! Of course, i first heard your work through try guys collaborations. But I was so so excited to see your name in the credits for Puppet History! Those songs are always such bangers.

    Alex 💔 the current group at my job has been so supportive of me lately and it’s been opening up some old emotional wounds from a time I didn’t previously feel that support. And to see you feel similarly…acknowledge what you were feeling but then be told you’re enough… 😭 it made me so emotional for you, and for me 💕 happy for and proud of you that you continued to take risks- do it scared!! 🙌🏽

    This documentary and the actual cuts from their show did in fact convince me to buy a ticket for the stream that I didn’t know about until now. Literally such beautiful vocals and fun bits with character growth in the actors/ensemble/production crew and their characters/roles

    To Emily, the person who was emotional talking about not being in a show since before the world shut down is so relatable, the first time I SAW a show after it all I cried during the overture and this has happened every time I’ve seen one since. When I got to be back on stage though, back to performing and doing the thing that raised me, it was so much more emotional and bittersweet and comforting and felt so so right. Thank you for being open about that because I think it really applies to so many of us creatives.

    When my friend and I met you guys at the meet & greet we said, "Gueeeess where we came from??? BURBANK!" And you all joked like why the hell would you come all this way when we're almost literally neigbors. Well, this is why guys. Cuz you worked your asses off to make something off the fuckin charts, and the minute we found out it was happening there was absolutely no question about going or not. WORTH IT.

    How is it that you all make silly wonderful art that is sooooo moving. I'll tell you how... You are kind comma emotionally available human beings who choose to behave in away that builds up as many people as you encounter as you possibly can... So very happy for you. SOOO PROUD Of you all! And so very sad that I was unable to come to the Broadway show.... Really glad I got to see the behind the scenes.

    Perhaps I am just an emotional baby person, but this documentary made me cry a bit. It's so lovely seeing people who so genuinely love each other and what they're doing succeed.

    How that video doesn’t have more likes or views?! As someone who is enjoying theater & broadway, this video has been wholesome to see! I don’t have any background in music or dance, and yet I always dance imagining what it would feel like to be on stage, to have a nice voice, to perform (Broadway is not even a thing in my country; I am just the weird kid on the block). I know that it will never happen for me (also, life, and other directions), but this video was so inspiring! Very happy for everyone that participated and made their dreams come true even for a little bit! There is no greatest achievement in life! You rock and you are totally awesome 🤩

    I am a lifelong theater fan but I've never been on the other side of that curtain so I love that this video gave us a glimpse of just how much hard work goes into something like this. I've listened to the podcasts about it and everything but they really can't express just how much this all must have been. It is so clear how much love and work and passion every single person put in to making this show happen. I really, really hope everyone feels good about this show and is proud of themselves for what they pulled off. And even though I'm sure it was even more magical live, I'm excited to get the chance to watch it via streaming! HEAPS of praise to everyone involved in this!!!

    Oof. This really hit me as someone who loves musical theatre and always wanted to be in a musical but was sort of "medium talented." Got kicked out of my college dance minor because I wasn't flexible enough, and I have a decent singing voice but it's never been "solo quality," which took a long time to admit and accept. Seeing these folks stories was weirdly cathartic for me. ❤
