      I was able to see Jon Jon as the Engineer on Broadway, the evening after the opening. My daughter and I waited outside afterwards for the cast to come out, and we were both able to have our picture taken with Jon Jon; it was so exciting!! (P.S. Jon Jon was also awesome in the series about the murder of Gianni Versace.)

    He provides some comedic moments in the musical. I mean in the 2tth anniversary filmed show, the audience laughs after quite a few of his lines. He is so funny and amazing

    Did the audience not like this performance? They were stone cold the whole time. I can only imagine their face just like confused and uncomfortable during The Engineer's performance.
    Also was Michael McIntyre mocking the performance?

    • @FigureSkatingMashup
      @FigureSkatingMashup 4 года назад +16

      I think the audience were muted. You kinda can hear them laugh at 4:36

    • @PixxieAlexx
      @PixxieAlexx 4 года назад +36

      Nah they tone down the audience for the recording. Also Michael wasn’t mocking the performance - he was just making a joke about (with it being a performance in front of royalty) that he’s been told to keep his jokes clean and PC - but in one musical performance they can say tits, ass and hump a car! The American Dream!

    What a jerk in the end. “I can only apologize” apologize for what? This is a show and they’re in a theatre.
    I know it supposed to be funny but he’s taking it a little bit to the dirt. Can not laugh about that shit he spit out.
    Whatever.. mind blowing cast. And The best engineer beside the Orginal cast, of all time ♥️🙏🏼

    • @adlirez
      @adlirez 3 года назад +3

      It might be because of how dirty the theme of the song The American Dream is if going PG was the goal of the segment. This version is toned down, but it’s still highly inappropriate, because that’s the whole deal of the song. The Engineer is singing about what he sees the American Dream as, and since he sells girls’ bodies for a living, it’s no surprise that he sees the American Dream as what is related to his occupation, which is operating a business of prostitution. Even when it was toned down specifically for this show, it still made me uncomfortable, in a sense that the song accomplished its goal. I suppose the host was just saying that like “sorry if that made you uncomfortable, I know this might not be hat you were expecting but yeah that’s that”
