Such a fun reaction! Ryan Steele plays Velma (the Catherine Zeta-Jones role) here- he’s an incredible dancer and performer! He was the original Specs in Newsies on Broadway (he’s incredible the whole way through but has a standout sequence in Seize the Day which is just terrific), and has also performed in many other shows as well as appearing in Peter Pan Live as a Lost Boy and in a dance sequence in the recently released Netflix movie I’m Thinking of Ending Things. Great stuff as always!
Specs. I haven't seen Newsies but I saw the Tony Performance. Is he the one that's like, way taller than everyone, and does that incredible spin on the newspaper?
That one is great! But I really love the one with Jeremy Jordan, Ben Platt, Joshua Henry, Christopher Fitzgerald, Leslie Odom Jr. and Walter Bobbie: ruclips.net/video/yL9f_L-s8GQ/видео.html As older actors, the dancing isn’t important, but the performance is top notch!
I also did a rendition of this song at a theater state competition and with my group earned top 20%, the question is how! I played "Squish" despite being a blonde, blue eyed female. The reason, I had the deepest bass tone. Love this song!
When I saw the title and thumbnail I thought they'd flip it to be about men who had murdered their wives. I wondered, "How in the world are they going to make that work?"
BTW, if you want to do another Chicago Broadway Backwards performance, check out Nowadays with Tony Yazbeck and Michael Berresse: ruclips.net/video/Z1OYgF-kFfg/видео.html I went to high school with Mike, and it has been great seeing his success on Broadway, Tony nominee and starring in loads of shows (he played Fred Kasely in the ‘96 revival of Chicago that brought the show back to the forefront) as well as now directing them. My sister and I saw a touring show of Fiddler on the Roof in ‘89 and my sister saw his name in the Playbill during intermission, prompting a minor freak out from both of us because we had no idea he had been pursuing an acting career.
Love the bit about "he was a Mormon" and then he rang a doorbell! I love crossover references!
Darren Criss also did a Broadway Backwards of (Not) Getting Married Today from Company.
It was a patreon request, expect it soon :)

Man I wish I was that flexible!! So well done!!
Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake is a great example of reverse casting traditionally female roles.
Love Chicago! Such fun!
OUTSTANDING

Have you seen twisted broadway’s big spender? So fun!
Did he just say "let's get baked"?
Ok, I watched it twice just to focus on the dancing.
Chicago was a best picture winner
