This guy is brilliant! i didn't know he could sing like that and he was so funny, i only know him from NCIS Los Angeles and he is clearly underemployed...i mean he is really talented
This is brilliant and impressive on so many levels! It's actually pretty damned difficult to sing off-key when you have perfect pitch and he wove it into the routine effortlessly.
My intro to Barrett was NCIS LA and I thought he was an great actor - but didn't realise he had a stage background and was absoloutely gobsmacked at how talented he actually was. If you haven't seen the clip before you should see the clip with Barrett and Jesse Tyler Fergusson singing All for the Best from Godspell - AMAZING!
Can Barrett Foa please revive his over-it, Jersey girl for more songs!?!?! I love this! And I want to see his BFA Overacting Kid sing "I Believe" from BOOK OF MORMON!
I love a good one-man medley. See also Stephen De Rosa's "Falsettos at the East Milford Community Center" from William Finn's "Infinite Joy" (it's on Spotify).
This seems impressively mean-spirited if it's a real anecdote, considering he was specific enough for them/their acquaintances to know exactly who's being mocked here.
Because bullying means someone in power mocking someone in a significantly lower position generally based on something they cannot control (e.g. disability, sexual orientation, skin color, etc.), and it also requires the person being bullied KNOWING that they are being bullied. Criticizing a person's acting skills is not bullying, and he is not criticizing them as individuals. Also, he did not mention anyone by name, and it is highly unlikely anyone in this random community theater production would ever even know he made a silly little skit about their show. There are 330 million people in the U.S., 7 billion people in the world, but just 15 thousand people have watched this video, and the audience is also very narrow. And, even if by chance someone in the production saw this video, they would likely find it humorous and understand it was done in good fun. I am sure at one time he was in a school or community theater production and he engaged in some of the the behavior he is joking about--so in a way, he is sort of poking fun at his younger self, too.
No one was named or called out. I’m pretty sure anyone who has done community theater can strongly identify with this. Please looks up the definition of bullying and then come back and appreciate this masterpiece
Yea I don’t like this. Every talented person on broadway started in community theaters and I myself still love my community theatre days. These are nurses and janitors of the city who just want to live a moment on stage. They are not perfect and don’t claim to be. I have witnessed firsthand that perfect singing is not needed to move an audience. This was mean-spirited and ugly and shows his character. A professional broadway singer making fun of community theatre singers? WTF?!?
How lovely. Those at the top of the musical theater food chain MOCKING those who perform for the love of it. (AND if you'd seen Barrett Foa in 2002 TRY to play Jesus in Godspell you'd know precisely the type of performance he is seen here mocking...we all just assumed he'd screwed a producer to get the part because he couldn't sing it and his portrayal was level-less and vapid...apparently his approach remains the same.) I don't know HOW in the world making fun of those with possibly lesser talent who have lesser directors than you have who make NO MONEY AT ALL and perform for fun serves to make a guy with also middling talent who just HAPPENED to get lucky enough to land a TV show which nets him MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.....makes him feel good about himself. I feel more sorry for Barrett Foa NOW than I did in 2002 when he was up against Shoshana Bean. AND believe me, closeted Barrett, as beneath her as you are, she would NEVER do what you do in this video. THIS IS MONSTROUS!
My introduction to Barrett was Broadway in Avenue Q. Imagine my surprise when he shows up in ops on NCIS Los Angeles.
This guy is a comedic genius.
This may just be the greatest thing I've ever seen on You Tube.
I agreeeeeeeeee....
.... and this is where I fell truly, madly, deeply for Barrett Foa.
This guy is brilliant! i didn't know he could sing like that and he was so funny, i only know him from NCIS Los Angeles and he is clearly underemployed...i mean he is really talented
Hands down the funniest thing I've seen on RUclips! Well done!
This is brilliant and impressive on so many levels! It's actually pretty damned difficult to sing off-key when you have perfect pitch and he wove it into the routine effortlessly.
His Valjean fiddler sounds like a Russian Dracula and I’m 100% here for it

Barrett, this is actually one of the funniest things I've ever seen you do. Bravo. :)
Love this!! I've watched it a number of times already, and every time Barrett's Marius just screams, "John Tartaglia". :)
Seriously I just watch this when I'm having a bad day cause it makes me laugh so hard 😂😂
Y'all back again this is gold and my fav video on the web
It is impossible for me to love this any more than I do.
That was freaking amazing !!!!
this is the best thing maybe ever
OK...THIS was hysterical!
I miss you Barrett!
What a talented performer... and drop dead handsome with a great voice!
This is the ONLY way I ever want to see Les Miz
Can Barrett Foa please revive his over-it, Jersey girl for more songs!?!?! I love this! And I want to see his BFA Overacting Kid sing "I Believe" from BOOK OF MORMON!
There's a version here on RUclips of Barrett singing "I Believe" - as Mitt Romney. It is BRILLIANT.
I saw him perform this at the Actors Fund event in October and he was HILARIOUS!
Totally outstanding
This looks so difficult
Genius! Love it!
Wonderful
That was just too great!
Brilliant !
This is the greatest thing on You Tube
Happy birthday Victor Hugo!
This is BRILLIANT!!!
What a guy!!!
So freaking good. 😂🤣😂
EPIC
Did they hire BFA Overactor for Spongebob the Musical?
amazing. he needs to do the show "fully committed"
I love a good one-man medley. See also Stephen De Rosa's "Falsettos at the East Milford Community Center" from William Finn's "Infinite Joy" (it's on Spotify).
Dafuq how did I end up here
BA----rilient!!!!!!
Starts at 4:00
It's not funny without the setup though
@@matthewrandell5055 true
Brilliant!!! So very funny = so very sexy. VERY BOTH❤️🔥🤣
Why is he clothed?
Genius!!!
This seems impressively mean-spirited if it's a real anecdote, considering he was specific enough for them/their acquaintances to know exactly who's being mocked here.
Oh gosh I think that all of them need voice coaching from mirandasings except the enjolras, he was perfect!😂
The best has to be the tone deaf guy 😂😂😂😂😂
True talent is knowing how to be *perfectly* off-key
I think I just wet myself laughing!
So now it's a tragedy.
How truly awful...I love it!
Are you sure the tone-deaf Enjolras wasn't Nick Adams?
Dude needs to stop going up and down the weight rack and start going up and down some scales.
So how is this not bullying?
Michael Smith fuck u
I'm pretty sure anyone who does community theater is NOT offended.
Because bullying means someone in power mocking someone in a significantly lower position generally based on something they cannot control (e.g. disability, sexual orientation, skin color, etc.), and it also requires the person being bullied KNOWING that they are being bullied.

Clearly not an Austin Texas community theater production. Way to much talent in this town.
Boring ! Not showing underwear!
