I can understand not giving him the main lead but not even giving him a singing role after THAT incredible audition!? I seriously will never forgive neither the writers nor the characters
i mean the main issue was really there isn’t a countertenor role in west side story, and there wasn’t quite a role that would fit him, but it’d be a CRIME to give him literally nothing at all sooo… krupke, I guess, even if he is the BEST singer in the show (or atleast the top 5)
I still think that Baby John would've been a better role for Kurt than Officer Krupke. For one thing, Baby John has more lines and is in more scenes. 2nd, if all the jets and sharks are played by jocks and they all either hate or laugh at Officer Krupke, then it's only reinforcing Kurts relationship with the jocks, ie the bullied victim. 3rd, Baby John is a kid who's always trying to act like he's older and tougher than he really is, and we actually see a heart-touching/breaking moment when he isn't hiding the fact that he's terrified - I mean can't you see Kurt giving us the big teary eyes and breaking our hearts. 4th, all we need to do is mess up his hair, get him in casual street clothes smear a little dirt on his face in some scene, maybe paint a bruise or two on his face in act 2, and he'd be perfect for the role! But mostly because the role of someone trying to be tough and masculine seems to be what he's trying to do in these episodes and because I think Kurt would appreciate playing a character who's in more than literally 4 scenes.
Why didn't they do the smart thing and cast Kurt and Rachel as the leads and hell if the double cast had gon the way it should have then all for of them would have gotten a bite of the apple so to speak.
Because Kurt isn't right for Tony yet...and to be perfectly Frank I don't think that either Rachel or Mercedes can really play Maria. Not unless they can do a ballad like 'Somewhere' without belting, try being dramatic in a quiet, more vulnerable way
*Directors:* We'd like you to sing 'I'm The Greatest Star' for this number. *Chris Colfer:* Sounds great! Can I bring my sai swords? *Directors:* ...Ok! 😀
"I know what you're thinking, but I got a permission from the women herself, Ms. Rachel Berry" I'M DYING
Ya it's so funny. Lmao
If I were the judge of this audition: “Well, we thought to cancel west side story and opt for a one-man show with you Kurt!!”
Same
no offence to Miss Rachel Berry, but Kurt killed that song. fabulous!
He did
Forever
The strength this man has to basically pole dance is amazing and hot
"i got permission from the women herself. rachel berry" I WHEEZED
Kurts performance here was ...
BREATHTAKING

the problem was that he wasn’t manly enough for the role but come season 5 he gets RIPPED 😂😂
INNIT!!!!
Chris Colfer finally given the chance to show off his sai sword skills! 👍
A natural COLFER

Kurt is a wonderful person! 😍❤️
I love how he posed for the beginning this performance left me ...
HUNGRY 😂

I'd love to know who you think could have done it.
I like this 1 better than Rachel's version.
I think Kurt’s performance was better
Chris is amazing
I love this performance!Kurt is one amazing performer!
Way better than Rachel version!! This totally match with Kurt, Is fabulous!!!! One of my Favorite solos!!
Honestly, the first thing I thought when he sat on the scaffolding was “Love the converse” 😂
Love him and this performance.
Kurt was so much better
I hate that they still didn't cast him after he pulled this off
That just isn't Tony.
He was Officer Krupke so he was a part of this musical
The Kurt Version of this music is so much better than the Rachel version, this music represent Kurt so much i think ❤❤❤
*Directors:* We'd like you to sing 'I'm The Greatest Star' for this number.
*Chris Colfer:* Sounds great! Can I bring my sai swords?

Kurt AND Chris deserved better
Although 'the boy next door' song was a wonderful kurt performance, I feel kurt should have done 'im the greatest star' for his NYADA performance.
Oh gosh i totally forgot about this performance!!!
whait how did he do that with his hands, isn't it sharp!? i love kurt's version more than rachels
I think he did better than Rachel 🤔
I like kurts version better if I'm being honest
Its amazing how he remembered all of this
Hermosa voz la de Kurt (Chris)
The high note at 0:57 lives rent free in my head…
my favorite version
In The Greatest Star by Barbara Starstend
Can you upload the scene from duets, when Finn and Rachel decide what song there going to sing
That was beautiful kurt
He spins Sais!! He should at least be a Jets!!
he could've done this for his nyada audition omg
I love him I love him I love him 😭
Given that Colfer is my favorite author, I'm realzing I'm practically following his footsteps 😮
And he had to learn to do that in FOUR DAYS? Burbank is so Aɓusive to child performers, it makes me SICK.
THANK YOU!
Team Kurt!!!! So much talent!!!! And so cool that Chris’s sai sword talents got to be featured in this number!
Anyone here from thr podcast?
Why is no one talking about Artie’s top tier Jim Henson joke at the beginning? 💀 😂
Rachel ate him up. This is honestly one of his weakest performances if I’m being honest.
Kurt's best solo by far, hands down. if he had chosen this song for his NYADA audition, he would be accepted.
He wasn't excepted because of lazy writing not his performance.
@@jacksonparker9022 if by "lazy writing" you mean favoritism, yeah
@@purimustdie not sure what ur point is but ok
@@jacksonparker9022 the power of protagonism also helps
