- Gee, Officer Krupke - from West Side Story
Awarded 1st Place in State for the Musical Theatre category, 2023
Directed and Choreographed by Oliver Estrada-Brown
Oliver Estrada-Brown as ACTION
Eduardo Boccardo as DIESEL
Ansel Coberly as SNOWBOY
and introducing Will Madsen as BABY JOHN
So I was the character portraying "Baby John" and I was incredibly blessed to be a part of this. Just a few notes that I wanted to add in, firstly I was a freshman, the rest of them were seniors. One of the people in the group (the one who portrays action) choreographed and put together the entire thing. And I am now way more into theater because of that whole experience. There's a lot more that went into this of course but I don't want to make this comment too long. But Thanks to everyone who has written comments you guys were so generous and it seriously means a lot.
Damnnn that’s cool! Did you guys do any more performances together?
This was incredible!! All of you are so talented!!!
This was incredibly well done! You did a fantastic job. I just finished watching the original, and I think that you guys did at least as well, if not better done than what the original was.
You all are so talented
just ran across this. i've been doing theatre for years, both on the stage & behind the scenes. there's nothing like it and theatre both inspires & changes lives. so glad you are into it...keep up the excitement & momentum. you were very good, and i can tell you have a lot in you that the world needs to see. good job man!
I was the actor portraying Snowboy (tank top guy), and I got to say, so much love and appreciation towards you guys who watched and supported us. Your love and appreciation is what inspires us actors to keep doing projects and productions, help us grow, and learn to become better actors. Thank you so much for sharing and spreading this performance across to others. We are all still shocked to this day that we won state. Who knows, maybe we’ll reunite and perform something again.
That’s so cool! You did really well!
the choreography on this is actually insane. sick performance
You are so right.
It's crazy good. I love it😍
shoutout to the cameraman for screaming at the top of their lungs in support at the end
High School??? ? THIS is outstanding!! Almost 20 years Disney Entertainment Manager..... choreography is so spot on....characterization is wonderful...you captured the close relationship of an era! Today ...guys would be distant in physical presence... you owned space...not seen ever at this age....BRAVO! Teacher....you did awesome
deserves 1st Place- these young men are amazingly talented...
These boys are incredible. The entire performance was spot on.
Wow, this is professional level, I seriously think they have no clue how good they are. Brilliant.
This is incredibly well choreographed and acted out! Did you guys win the competition that this was for?
Yes they did!
@@jessicaparry7971 That’s awesome! Congratulations to them!
Very professional performance, its a tricky song to coordinate with all the counterpoints going on, and the choreography was brilliant!
Wow, “BRAVO” to the teaching staff who were able to shape this talent into an amazing performance! And a “BIG” round of applause to the young performers who did a broadway performance!
Is this a school for the performing arts? Singing, staging and choreography were excellent given the age of the performers. I have seen versions of this done literally by professionals who did not even come close to the talent displayed here. The interplay of your characters was just spot on! Hope your teacher was really proud of you!
Nope! Just your average run of the mill high school. I'm pleased to hear you liked it so much!
This is so good, I’ve loved this song for 30 years and this is the first I’ve seen it performed by actual teenagers, it’s lovely. The ballet is really good, that cabriole is not easy, the choreography’s really good and then they pulled those moves out at the end, I had shivers.
I am Japanese. The Broadway musical "West Side Story" is now playing in Tokyo. I watched it the day before yesterday. And I was happy again to watch the performance of the high school students from Utah. Thank you!😊😊😊😊
Great performance guys! I'm really impressed with how you used the benches without toppling over!
This was an INCREDIBLE performance from all of you!!
they're SOOO TALENTED!!
what the hell 😭so many talented people from one school??
For high school students this is very well done and reminds me of the choreography in the 2021 movie!
DUDE. THAT WAS INSANE.
Imagine being THIS talented!! Amazing job! 😍
I couldn't believe it when I saw this! I went to support my school after I didn't make it and was so happy I got to see this live. This was one of the best things I have seen, I can't stop watching the video I got
Oliver Estrada-Brown (the Director) has done a terrific job. Every aspect of this production - the vocals - the dance - the characters were all spot on - well done to all. Jeff (in Australia)
WOW FANTASTIC!!!!🔥🔥🔥
That was AWESOME!!!! You guys ROCK!!!! You've all got great futures coming to you in life!!! BLESS!!!!
I love thiss. The performance looks so fun to see I’m jealous
This was insanely good !!! Made my high school theater classes look awful 😂
the harmonizing at the end!!! i got chills!!!
Good job. 👏👏👏
For some reason I love this song. 😁
Thank you for making and posting. ☺️
Omg ok so they are doing a honor for all the newsie boys from the movie!! This is amazing!! That bit in the movie was my all time favorite.. oh Getting some Ben cool vibes for sure ! Great job
You all did a great job hope you guys do more music together
A seriously great job boys. That was awesome to watch!
the boys in my school could neverrr
From a dancer.... Really good 👍
Fantastic!
THEY ATE THATTTT
This is amazing. The singing, the choreo, the line delivery, the acting, the costumes, the set, everything. Well done boys!
VERY good! Congratulations. Keep up the good work.
Good musical interpretation and timing. Fun and entertaining use of the props. These kids are great!
This was brilliant in every way, better than things I have seen on Broadway and in London's West End. Massive applause from Ireland. I trained as an actor in London (at the same school as Rupert Friend and others) but decided that, to devote the one life you get, to such a precarious profession was a risk I wasn't prepared to take. Unless you are 200% committed, don't do it. (I became a doc instead.)
They are very talented young men!
Amazing I loved this adaption so much I loved how you included the benches too
Amazing!!!..well done. Guys!!
You are all SUPER talented! Your movements are so fluid, the way you talk and portray each character and play off each other, super super well done! I'm so impressed! It looks like it was a lot of fun! I can only imagine how long it took to do it all!
Amazing I wish you luck in your theater career
The choreography here is OUTSTANDING!!
Oh my god! How are the so good?
Okay um wow that was incredible!!!!!!
I' ve watched it by coincidence. I am from Berlin in Germany and West Side Story is one of my all-time-favourite and you made me cry! It was such a thrill watching you, dancing, playing and singing as good as the cast 60 years ago and so wonderful to see young people still enjoying this music. You made my day with your performing! You are all beautiful, you will go your way, that is for sure! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to watch you!
Wow, this is just fantastic! Alone the dancing and acting performance, and then also sing???? How did you do that, guys?
They deserve a metal award for the performance.
West Side story is a god tier movie
Holy f*ck this is amazing!
glad they got first!! the choreography is INSANE, and so well-executed!!!
love the awsome preformance.
so talented oml
Great job, very entertaining.
Bravo! Superbly done!
You guys are so funny and talented, I'm obsessed with this video!
You all did so great this is my absolute favorite scene from any movie musical
Wow, excellent actors!!!! I’m very impressed with how good these guys are at acting. The choreography is amazing, and the accents are solid.
Stephen Sondheim originally wanted to end the song with the Jets saying "Gee, Officer Krupke, F@@k You" making it the first time the phrase would be heard on Broadway but was dissuaded from this by the head of Columbia Records Goddard Lieberson who told him that if he did, they would not be able to sell the Original Cast Album anywhere except New York, as it would be considered sending "Obscene Material" across state lines. This was 1957 America!! By the way great performance!!@
i’m love.
Man, this was tight!
What awesome voices they have
Excellent!!!!
I love this so much
Beautiful audition. I’d cast them!
Insanely good! My jaw was literally open the whole time, everyone is so talented and the skill that goes into making this possible!! I’m so excited for you guys and proud of what you have achieved already! Keep it up you guys are amazing!
Wow. I've been in love with this song/scene since I first saw the film and have watched every version of it on YT. Just getting down Bernstein's complicated modulation and tempo changes is tough enough but pulling off all the moves requires a level of focus and stamina that many performers don't have - especially as an ensemble. My jaw literally dropped at 4:16. There is SO MUCH that could have gone wrong here, from the notes to the lyrics to the choreo to the body contact to the props. Lord knows how much rehearsal went into this but it's stellar.
Brilliant performance!
Congrats from Catalonia!
Fantastic
Thèse guys are Broadway bound!
Amazing!
omg this is amazing.
you are all so so TALENTED 👏
Cool
this is fucking amazing. i have no words
An amazing job! Especially for only being in high school!
Oh my gosh! This is so epically fantastic!
Awesome!
That was amazing
OMGGGGG so good so talented!! great job
Someone opened up a Golden Egg from Harry Potter there at the end
INCREDIBLE‼️‼️
I am obsessed with all of you this is phenomenal!
Wow! What amazing talent, dance moves, and choreography! You're all so young (appreciate it please) yet you display the skills of seasoned Broadway performers. I wish you all success and happiness!
Well done! 👌🏻
i love this so much
Dear Parents, if the kids in Utah want to do numbers like this, trust them to know what they can handle. The origin is R&J translated to a race war. And the Krupke name is obvious. They can handle it. The lyrics even have a little trans hints. They can handle it. Way better than someone who confuses an author's last name with a book title.
Well done boys ❤
These fools actually pulled it off😂😂😭👍👍
That was on point!!
WHAT THIS IS AWESOME!!! So slay
I've found this video a few months ago and I watch it at least once a week and every time i watch it i love it more! The choreography is amazing and u did a wonderful job!
Doesn't Action look a lot like Tewksbury?!
I get this all the time 😅
@@keawesoulReally?! The only reason I didn't think you were actually tewky is because the timeline/age is wrong.
Also, WOW! Someone replied to me!
I have a million things I want to tell you starting from: I watch this ALLLL the time, to, I like this better then the movie versions, and finally, Y'all did awesome, and I want to see more!
edit: Oops, I'm on my other account lol
Dioss, me encanta, son muy talentosos. Me hicieron desear que en mi colegio se haya hecho algo parecido, espero que si realmente les apasiona sigan en esto
The boy in the dark blue jacket should really play JD in heathers he gives off his vibes
4:16 I’m sorry but that backflip was IMPRESSIVE
they devoured wow
