I was in this show in 6th grade. I was a “brainiac”. I fell off the stage opening night. Stopped the show for about 5-10 mins. The entire cast just stared at me from onstage. Fun memories.
@@angsilaw Unfortunately there isn’t any recording of the show at all (at least that I know of). I wish there was. It’s a funny story to look back on. Oddly enough, a fell off a set piece of bleachers during a blackout in another show roughly around the same time (within a year of the High School Musical incident). At least no one saw me that time. 😂 Edit: I just realized that we had changed a few parts of the script (East High was changed to the name of my middle school and a few other small changes). That’s actually against copyright and our rights to the show could’ve been taken away, so maybe there is a reason it wasn’t filmed.
My school is doing high school musical right now (senior one) and I've just been cast as Troy. I'm really struggling to see how I can live up to this guy, it's just breathtaking to behold such a fantastic performance.
@-Preppy.Sunny- don't be, you'll have an incredible time. I never thought that 10 months ago when I commented, that I'd be left with so many great memories of the show.
I think the one that stole the solo was Kelsie (girl on stage left with a red shirt and black hat) at 8:41. You can slightly see her chin moving and the girl next to her quickly looks at her just as the singing begins. You can also see how she stops moving, possibly because singing as loud as she did would require her to be more tensed than she was before? It's not concrete, but she is certainly a suspect
I mean tbh, all of the people who are playing the main characters are pretty tall, I’m guessing this is like some elementary school production K-6th, possibly 7-8th graders in here too, plus the adults playing teachers or whatever.
I died when they made the dads who lifted Ryan stay on the stage and do the rest of the “all in this together” dance 😂 😂 just these middle aged men dancing to high school musical 😂😂
8:59 The actor playing the Gym Teacher (who I assume is the school's actual gym teacher, the school's principal/vice principal/counsellor who insisted being in the production or a student who was held back like 20-30 times) is the best part about this number
I just helped direct a production of HSM and keep in mind a ton of these moments are just. in the script. HSM: on stage’s script is really really something. Least favorite line: “written by red hot composer babe kelsi nielson” The stage directions are also all written using figures of speech which isn’t really something very normal, stage directions should not be show not tell If any of you have any questions about if a moment is *supposed* to be like *that* just ask lol
shout out to the two adult men I only noticed in We're All in This Together, who I'm pretty sure we're only there for the purposes of lifting that child
WHY WAS THIS SO FUCKING FUNNY OMG edit: Jesus I don't know what's funnier - this entire thing, or the fact that people are just going BALLISTIC at the end even after everything they just witnessed
In the defense of the auditions song (2:59), it's supposed to sound terrible for comedic effect (I should know this as a current Cathy, aka the one who sang it like a really fast golden-age number). Luckily for this cast tho, they didn't even need to create a fake terrible voice. It was already there!
My Dear God. Thank you for giving me a reason to go back to working on this show. I'm in a production rn that got postponed. I hate the show. The writing sucks, but when that kid can make that line bearable somehow...I think this could work lol.
@@AddisonRachel Pretty good actually HSM ended up cancelled, but we did some one acts and All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten instead! Both good! 10/10 and mostly socially distant :D
The fact that the final hop of were all in this together was not on the downbeat was somehow the thing that made me most infuriated in this whole video
White as in "the show was double cast but we don't want to call it cast A and cast B so let's pick random colors instead" (maybe since EHS's colors are red and white, the other cast might be the red cast?)
God, they really said: “There are other boys who are better at singing, but this one is black, obviously good at basketball, so he’s gonna play Troy.” (I’m black btw)
LMAO im doing this musical in my school and the show dates in one week im so glad weve been practicing for the last 5 months and actually have good choreo 😭
The amount of people on the stage is giving me anxiety-
Middle School plays for you
"you can't leave any kids out. Give them all a part so their feelings aren't hurt."
the girl who played sharpay was the highlight of that whole thing, she saved everyone ashdfkjlasdfx
She was funny, but did not understand her character at all
Like illegal Heather chandler was the only highlight in illegal heathers
SHE WAS 💀💀💀
But her outfit- and she did not understand the character😭
I’m not even a theater kid but I think illegal musicals are my new favorite thing
That’s how it starts
same here
how are there SO many people on stage and not a single one can sing lmao
Was that Lin-Manuel Miranda as Troy's dad?
Thats exacty what I thought, he was off brand lin manuel
Wish version of Lin
Ryan’s back must hurt from carrying the entire show
Martha would have carried the show with him if they gave her a real role
okay some of them may have not been good but a lot of them were vibing and trying their best and I really appreciate it
“They didn’t even give this girl a basketball” I’m laughing *so* much
The basketball decided she wasn’t worthy

Oh no
Is there a recording?. I NEED TO SEE THIS

Were you ok
@@lizza4975 i had some nasty bruises on my knees and a limp for a while, but broken bones or concussion so I was fine.

Omfg, I just got Troy. This man deserves an Oscar.

i love how the troy is head and shoulders over the rest of the rest of the third graders LMAOO

Omg you’re not kidding. That kid looks like a football player, not a basketball player 😂 lol He was a foot taller than half those kids. 🤣🤣☠️
Your solo was iconic, beautiful, award winning, fabulous and innovative (if a little grating)
Okay but the musical teacher looks IDENTICAL to the movie one
“WHITE CAST?!? WHAT THE FU- oh, they just had too many kids for one cast.”
TBH Ryan was pretty good (Heather C of this illegal musical) and Troy's got potential. I stress "potential".
As someone who played Sharpay for middle school, I think this just gave me whiplash lol
I feel that
"this is KIDZ BOP" -spotify, 2023
I got to give them props for knowing all their lines! But there are SO MANY PEOPLE on stage 😀
ryan IS john mulaney
o h y e s m a h b r o t h e r s
also the girl who played sharpay did not understand her character whatsoever
The girl's face at 4:36 had me CRYING
IKR
"TROY, MY HOOP BOY!"
"OHHH YESSSS MA BRODASSSSSS"
the energy was EVERYTHINGGGGGG
Oh my lord, who allowed me to be in this musical? I was way too small!
Who were you?
You where in this
I died when they made the dads who lifted Ryan stay on the stage and do the rest of the “all in this together” dance 😂 😂 just these middle aged men dancing to high school musical 😂😂
The directors definitely made it as worse as they can to embarrass the kids.
amazing, please post the whole thing
The ambit of people on stage must have been a literal nightmare for the stagemanager like sorry babes
THEY DID SO GOOD NGL IM SO PROUD OF ALL OF THEM
ZEKE SUPREMACY
The girl getting mad at the swaying is ME
Like actually
?wait fr
@@raymondlang8753 @tahlia no no. not actually lmao
@@MarleneRodriguez711 ok lol
SAME, I... don't love that side of me lol
They started leaving the stage before the curtain was closed, oh my goodness lol

This is nowhere near as bad as Illegally Blond or Illegal Heathers but it's far from good.
illegal heathers was actual chaos😭
Poor Heather Chandler
3:48 "Why does he sound like John Mulaney?" HAHAHAHA
OMFG HE DOOOOOEEEESSSSSSS
BUT HE DOES
OMG
Freaking Andrew
sharpay made this video watchable
that girl in the purple i can tell was one of those kids who wanted to be sharpay or gabriella and does musical theatre 😭
5:10 we all know that girl thought she was sooo cool with her blue eyeshadow
She was also she was Susan the creator of the video 😂
Pre-School Musical
the girl not getting the ball give me the same energy of when i didn’t get a chair when i was in a production of bye bye birdie
THEY'RE SITTING ON BUCKETS IN THE FIRST CLASS
I've been in this show, I was Science Nerd #8, it's okay, honey.
I just helped direct a production of HSM and keep in mind a ton of these moments are just. in the script. HSM: on stage’s script is really really something.

i physically did not think a production of hsm could be worse than mine but here we are 😭
I died when you pointed out that the one girl didn't have a basketball
Cory left the White House to be a Musical Star
I wanna see the whole thing. Like ASAP no rocky. Someone help me find it.
high school musical? more like mid-to-late elementary school through 8th grade musical 🥴
A lighting designer is desperately needed here.
shout out to the two adult men I only noticed in We're All in This Together, who I'm pretty sure we're only there for the purposes of lifting that child
WHY WAS THIS SO FUCKING FUNNY OMG
edit: Jesus I don't know what's funnier - this entire thing, or the fact that people are just going BALLISTIC at the end even after everything they just witnessed
THE GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME IM IN TEARS
I cant with this “the white cast”
sharpay is living her best life and im here for it

Mood.

I know we're still in lock down but how's it been going?
@@AddisonRachel Pretty good actually HSM ended up cancelled, but we did some one acts and All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten instead! Both good! 10/10 and mostly socially distant :D
I laughed hard but this is actually not that bad. I always hated the bop to the top group part in HSM productions
The fact that the final hop of were all in this together was not on the downbeat was somehow the thing that made me most infuriated in this whole video
Why are there so much people?
Natalia Arlovoskaya Because this is the Jr. Version of it meant for kids under high school and they wanna make all the kids feel included
Please release the whole thing! I'm crying at this!
Kidz Bop looks different here...
Sharpay, once again, carried
"OH YESS MA BRODASSS"
Why is this so high quality (video quality)
I always come back to this every once in a while because it always makes my day by making me laugh 😂
Why does the dad/coach look like Lin-Manuel Miranda??!!??!?!??!
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT
“OH YES MY BROTHERS”
Okay so I totally freaked out with the white cast in the beginning thinking it was some racist "only the white kids can do this show"
no there was probably a red cast and a white cast like the colors of East High
@@Caroline-jt6ez Yeah, we were split into two casts with the Red and White Cast, probably should've offered some explanation for it lol
i swear its pop lock jam and break. sue me if im wrong lol
No you're right
for some convulsed reason they switched the wording in the musical
this is what my school is like but i promise in ours but it isnt our fault its our fucking teachers they make me want to cry 😂
illegal musicals are next level amazing
a message to those kids CHEAT OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes ikr when we were ryan and sharpay WE CHEATED OUT!!!! These kids need some lessons with Amanda and Kate 🙄
@@venus-zi3ew mhm
Why does Troy look 10 years than everyone else!
not me thinking they were gonna do a flip at 7:19
Most of the cast looked confused most of the time, are you sure they knew where they where?
"a Saw?" im dead
Ryan sounding like John Mulaney got me 😭
Martha is Honestly a highlight for me
they’re actually pretty good ngl
4:19
There's a guy in the back that looks like a wish version of Lin Manuel Miranda lmao
Omg fr
Are you friends with the “is that illegal?” Girl, she seems chill.
Im scared. My school is doing high school musical.
I bet ur Troy will be better than this Troy 😭
@@iturnmyselfintoclowns the cast list was released! Some random kid
IM CACKLING
Sharpay carried
this is the most entertaining video i've seen in months thank you
this deserves so much more than 10000 views and you just gained a subscriber
The disrespect when see said break and jam😑😩
no problem
Why does troy’s dad look like Lin?
Where are people even getting these videos from
It’s the editing for me.
THE GETCHA HEAD IN THE GAME COREOGRAPHY WAS ALMOST THE EXACT SAME AS MINE WHEN I WAS 10
White cast but both troy and gabriella are poc themselves
White as in "the show was double cast but we don't want to call it cast A and cast B so let's pick random colors instead" (maybe since EHS's colors are red and white, the other cast might be the red cast?)
God, they really said:
“There are other boys who are better at singing, but this one is black, obviously good at basketball, so he’s gonna play Troy.”
(I’m black btw)
This is a godsend
The kid having an existential crisis after zeke says he likes to bake
this makes me feel so good about my theatre production of this (ms. darbus was my role)
LMAO im doing this musical in my school and the show dates in one week im so glad weve been practicing for the last 5 months and actually have good choreo 😭
