I don’t have TikTok would I be able to get it another way?

What does slime tut mean in this context help
@@RosemaryBo1991a slime tutorial in this context is usually a way of saying a free version/bootleg (??) of a musical or show usually uploaded on youtube- named a slime tutorial so the reuploads dont get taken down as easily
I just watched it and HOLY SUGAR THIS WAS THE BEST MUSICAL IVE EVER WATCHED!!!! I SOOO WANT TO BE IN IT AND ALL YOUR ACTORS WHERE INCREDIBLE!!!!
They did amazing! I like how they made use of a limited stage by really exaggerating Jane's unnatural movements. The ropes were cool too, really adds another level to how Emily Rohm imagines that Penny comes from an abusive home life. Even in the afterlife she can't escape the neglect, and so her body was never claimed. The singer did a great job and they have an incredible voice!
This comment made me think, this is actually such a good analysis
@@RosemaryBo1991 Thank you! I just like to think about how changes to accommodate a different performance than the original can be thought about in terms of character depth.
Emily isn't exactly wrong in that interpretation.
Penny used to live in a hippy cult that was a drug ring and then then the place got busted up, they lived in Saint Cassian where she was abused by both students and teachers.
(I read the entire Legoland script)
@@trashking471what is legoland script
legoland is a play written by the creators of ride the cyclone and meant to be the predecessor to rtc. it focuses on penny and her little brother, ezra. the script is a good read!
I love all the different versions of Jane doe. I’ve seen one where she flies, one where she spins on one of those knife throwing wheels, and multiple where she is pulled on strings like a puppet. So cool and creative
Where did you see one where she spins on a life throwing wheel?
@@gabrielladagostino I saw it live in a local theater, I don’t know if there’s a recording anywhere
@@gabrielladagostino don’t know if this is the one they’re referring to but look up “the ballad of jane doe trinity theater” here on yt!
@@gabrielladagostino I think I might have seen one, it was called 'The Ballad of Jane Doe Trinity Theater'
@@gabrielladagostino im pretty sure its trinity theatre that did that :3
Btw the person playing Jane is named Dex O’Neal and use they/them pronouns
*They're* amazing
THEY ARE JUST LIKE ME ?!
They rock!
@@allergictosmiles what? They go by they/them lol
@@allergictosmiles Yeah, but why would you reply this in a comment saying that the actress is nonbinary, you could've just comment it
Holy shit, that choreography. The way Jane was struggling against the ropes, and the moment where they tried to crawl away was downright spooky. I’m so used to seeing Emily Romm (Rohm?) floating through the void. Ride the Cyclone’s playing in Rapid City, can’t wait to see how they choreographed this song.
yep, it’s rohm! i completely agree
this is SUCH a fucking killer performance, the vocalist is SO DAMN TALENTED and singing like that while throwing urself around like a ragdoll?? absolute talent. this version's choreo and interpretation is so awesome too!! the strings controlling them like a puppet was genius, looked so so cool, especially when they all started turning and going side to side. goosebumps!!
Rip to that guy who left 1 minute in and missed one kf the greatest musical performances of all time
fun fact about this show, the set dressing is signage from joyland, a now closed amusement park that was in wichita. it has its own little history of not taking kindly to people's necks :)
That’s so cool! I love when rtc productions include local theme park stuff. In a Colorado production the set is the entrance to the Cyclone roller coaster in Denver that is fameous for people frequently getting injured and dying on
Wait thats actually so cool omg?? This is why i love rtc so muchhh every production of it is so cool!!!!
Oh my gosh I just live different theaters takes on Jane!! The way the performance is so uniquely inhuman is really prevalent here. The marionette motif really speaks to how hollow Jane is while having no soul, or rather, having no memories of the soul that once inhabited her. The symbolism almost doubles as being a shell of a person. Just a wonderful portrayal of the character! You love to see it 🩷🩷🩷
I know!! I love seeing different productions interpretations of jane, the designs and performances are always such eye candy!!!
I a fucking roller coaster ad before this 🌝
THATS SO FUNNY
THE IRONY 😭
i love the ending- when everyone leaves and they are alone on the ropes it's as if everyone has given up hope of finding out who jane doe really is. They did such a good job, the raw emotion is incredible!!
i would NEVER shut up if i could sing like that
I've spotted another HH fan on a RTC vid!!
Thier movements are so eerily unnatural, like a claymation character! And even while moving like that they still sounded so beautiful when they sang, even when hunched over! They kept a good air flow, and thier voice never got lost or strained!
her anguish really shines through here, and I love the decision to make her doll-like movements more reminiscent of a wind up toy or puppet than of a plastic doll
Are they secretly Emily Rohm? Because they're just perfect lol. They have an amazing voice. They might not be flying through the air, but acting like they're a doll on strings is just amazing. A few little fumbles here and there, but otherwise beyond amazing.
I was wandering of they were using her audio at first bc in the beginning they sound just like her haha
I remember seeings Dex’s grwm video on tiktok and how they interpreted Jane as a marionette (hence the strings/ropes) and it all came to life so beautifully
wish this had clearer audio because their voice is absolutely *AMAZING*
their voice is absolutely insane??? i LOVEEE this jane definitely more than any other jane i’ve ever seen. also i feel like the ropes are so much more powerful visually and story wise and almost brought me to tears. and how the hell does their voice stay crystal clear while theyre being whipped around like that?? this performance is bonkers in the best way
oughgh this is so cool, to me it really emphasizes the dichotomy of jane's character: she isn't really human, with no identity or memory or anyone to remember her. but she's also desperate to be the human she once must have been. the performer here really brings out jane's desperation and anguish, which i love in contrast with the alien and jarring movements. really really good
oh my god. their performance is genuinely incredible, and the part at 5:28 was a bit of characterization that was just perfect
THEYRE GIVING CLASSICALLY TRAINED OH MY GOD THE VIBRATOOOOOOO??? THE BREATH CONTROL OMG
I SAW THIS LIVE AAAAAA! Literally SUCH a good cast, Dex O'Neal was honestly on par with Emily Rohm. The whole cast was phenomenal.
YOUR SO LUCKY I wish I could’ve seen this one live 😭
Me too!! Just blown away and in tears and speechless at this performance.
They freaking killed it! So many emotions! I also like the ropes that act like puppet strings! One of my favorite renditions right here!
This actor was absolutely phenomenal. They *_slayed._*
I got to see this live and know Dex (Janes actor) personally, they are amazing and this entire show was absolutely perfect
I’m blown away by the singers talent! They really made Jane into their own character! Emily Rhoms Jane sang in an (in my interpretation) defeated way, likes she’s long been resigned to her fate and is wearied by it. Dex O’Neals version is sad but also, in a way, desperate. O’Neals voice made her seem horrified of it, while Rhoms made her seem confident in it. I love when actors add their own spin on a character, whether by accident or not!
dex is super nice! i used to go to a high school in the wichita area and our director was a friend of roxy’s downtown theater, and dex came to a rehearsal of our fall musical to help our costumes crew out with wigs and makeup! they’re legit incredible with everything they do!!
Oh my goodness, their voice was haunting in all the right ways! I wish I could’ve been there in person!!
They honestly did such a good job, I've been coming back to this video for a week straight each day now. The chilling vocals, the raw emotion, the perfect co-ordination of the rope scene, the hopeless collapse to the ground, the general uncanny feel to their movement yet still perfectly smooth.
Dude i think they got straight up posessed by emily rohm??? This was incredible!! Insane pipes !
Dex put so much emotion into they're voice I've never cried at the ballad of Jane doe but I actually shed a tear this performance is beautiful
Their voice sounds amazing omg!? they sound almost exactly like Emily
No, this one has a clear difference but I love both of them sm
@@WhatDoIUseForHandle which is why I said they sound ALMOST exactly
The way they hit those high notes, chills! They have such an amazing singing voice!!
Such a clever way to choreograph this song without wirework. Ropes to drag Jane into the darkness
Imagine getting pulled all over and keeping a high note. Wow.
They're so cool i wish i could sing that high 🥲
I got the privilege of meeting the cast after the show and they’re all just the coolest !! Dex is among, if not my biggest inspiration tbh :3
The rope idea is so amazing! The singing is fantastic!
okay, someone explain to me how this is possibly the most amazing rendition of this song i've ever heard???? are they secretly emily rohm??? how are they so great??? props to these guys for putting on such an amazing show!!!
Love their vibrato and scale!!
This is such a creative alternative to the flight, I love it. Jane Doe sounds absolutely fantastic
this is the level of acting, emotions and creativity i want to reach
Absolutely LOVE their Jane doe! The choreography is amazing
People who can sing like that are so talented 😭😭
(I’m so jealous)
I’m obsessed with the rope thing. This is truly incredible
This Jane is so. incredibly. talented. This song is SUPER hard to sing (coming from a singer) and they KILLED IT.
*they
@@douglasjackoviak1815 my bad, I just corrected it! Thanks!
@@carlazuzfanclub no problem!
I was in productions with Wyman (Mischa) in high school! so cool to see his production gain so much traction online:)))
i love how you can hear the pain in her voice, dex did an amazing job playing jane! they did phenomenal, bravo. it takes alot of talent to get that emotion out in song 👏👏
i dont think there will ever be a performance of the ballad of jane doe that will make me NOT cry like a damn baby. their performance was just amazing.
I love hearing everyone’s takes on the ballad of Jane doe. I like this one because she didn’t stick to the original melody, many of her notes were different and I absolutely love it because in a way the different pitches made it even more haunting and eerie. They absolutely killed this performance ✨💯💯
I really love the more desperate tone on their voice, really fits the vibes of the song, love it sm
THEY HAVE A GORGEOUS VOICE OMG!!!!
Literally brought me to tears, the vocals are beyond stunning. Beautiful performance!
THEY ARE AMAZING OMG I WANT TO SEE THE FULL PRODUCTION
I have the full slime tut, RUclips deletes comments with links but if you add me on TikTok I’ll send a link to it on Google drive (ridethecyclone_files is my TikTok)
@@The.trans.agendaOMG DO U STILL DO THIS??
Their vocals are INSANE I got actual goosebumps omg
Frr
UGH I LOVE THIS JANE SM !!
DEX IS PERFECT FOR THIS
The way my jaw fell to the floor so many times during this-
Absolutely fantastic job!!! This rendition is definitely one of my favorites of all time, they killed it!!
That dude that went away and missed half of the performance 👿
They slayed this role 💅
I love the decisions that y’all made this for the scene, and Dex did a fantastic job! 💚💚💚 They’re vocals matched Emily Rohm’s so well I thought maybe a recording of Emily Rohm’s voice was being used at first lol XD
TLDR: Y’all did an amazing job of capturing Jane’s (accurate) feelings of lack of control over her situation and other feelings that she has that is key to this song. Conveying things to the extent you did can be very difficult for productions to pull off, so even more Kudos to y’all!
I love the use of the strings, because I feel like it shows that Jane feels bound to her fate of being a Jane Doe even as she’s trying to resist it. And there’s something about the way some of the rope-handlers, who may have been representing fate (or god) itself, were acting during that section, there was almost a cruelty to it, matching Jane’s perspective on her fate. I feel like there’s more that could be said, but all I can’t quite put it into words.
You captured how i feel abt the rope symbolism perfectly omg 🫶🫶
UGHH SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THIS SONG
Just amazing!! Their vibrato is seriously effortless omg
this is so amazing, i’m always astonished on how high an actor playing jane can go and how strong their voice is and this one isn’t any different! their singing is beautiful
Holy hell! Dex's vocals are gorgeous! Would love to see them live :D
Dex has the most amazing voice omg
IM SCREAMING THEYRE AMAZINF I ASPIRE TO BE LIKE THEM TBHHHHOMGMGKFKFI
I GOT CHILLS AT THE “AND IM ASKING WHY” PART LIE,….. SHIVERS DOWN MY WHOLE BODY THAT WAS INSANE
i love the emotion in the singing!
This was a heartbreaking performance. Seeing her struggle against the ropes truly shows how badly she wants to live. This is 100% my favourite Jane next to Emily Rohm.
CHILLS ABSOLUTE CHILLS!!! THE WAY THEY MAKE JANE’S MOVEMENTS EXAGGERATED!!! HOW THEY STRUGGLE AGAINST THE ROPES!!! OH MY GOD THIS IS SO AMAZING!!! THE LIGHTING AND HOW IT HELPS TELL THE STORY!!! PROPS TO THE ACTORS AND CHOREOGRAPHERS AND CREW!!!
the difference between this version and the Broadway other versions is
this Jane Doe is clearly pissed off and can't believe she don't know who she is and can't accept this sick destiny. as she try to escape those ropes
Wooooah ive never seen it with ropes before she usually starts floating- really creative!!
2:22 That scale killed me
I’m so glad someone posted the full one
I need a reupload of this production!!! It was a so good
Woah, woah - in love with the choreography and use of ropes! And what a voice they have, seriously, bravo. The acting, movements, singing and use of lightning and props was just so good. It's really cool to see the doll/marionette-aspects and hollowness of Jane who lacks her identity is being emphazised in this edition. One of the first performances I've seen that I feel is on par with the original (not that there aren't other excellent performances, Emily Rohm just made a performance there was almost impossibly hard to follow)
I haven’t gotten into the musical fully yet, but I prefer this way of performing the song. The ropes are so much more powerful than the floating to me
A craaaazy amount of chills over this!!! what a cool concept they absolutely killed it and their body movements/control was incredibly impressive
Holy shit their voice is ETHEREAL
i just know if i saw this performance irl i would burst into tears this is so beautiful
this is so freaking cool, they also did an amazing job portraying jane (and are extremely talented holy crappp) but also the choreography was soooo flipping cool aughrjj im obsessed
dex fucking KILLED it in this performance oh my god. brilliantly beautiful and full of emotion, genuinely i think i prefer this to the original
STOP JSUT HEARING THIS WANTS ME TO SCREAM MY LUNGS OUT ITS SO GOOD
Good lord their voice is beautiful
As a theatre sound tech I really want to find this theatre and fix their entire system😂
The person preforming is also the one singing? What a lovely voice, I didn't really even know what vid i clicked on but was captivated the entire time damn
THIS IS FŪ KIN AWESOME !!!! NGL I LIKE THIS VERSION MUCH BETTER W ALL THE STRINGS AND THAT GREEN LIGHT AUUGHGH
Wow. They did a STELLAR job.
Literally gave me goosebumps, they did amazing
This was a great performance!
this is one of the best versions ive seen!!!
I LOVE THIS OMG
THEY DID SUCH A GREAT JOB
Anyone that can perform this song is insanely impressive.
I don’t think I can put into words how cool this is
