I love when Logainne actually cries out the lyric “I could cry, I want words as lame.”

[@jennaseely2250]

I love this song is so much, but there is a huge difference between their choreo and my cast’s choreo. They dance a lot, and my cast all go absolutely insane.

[@glomp4146]

SAME. my director described it as "choreographed chaos"

[@sparkerlily6087]

When the mic didn't work and they all just yelled out CRAYON!

[@somenerds_altaccount]

I didn’t even notice that but now I cannot stop laughing 💀

[@death_m3t4l_octopus]

No it’s part of the song.
“Spell: crayon”
“CRAYON?!?!”

[@s4shaslaybright]

⁠@@death_m3t4l_octopusno but panch was supposed to say “spell crayon” but the mic didnt work so they just said crayon for no reason

[@death_m3t4l_octopus]

@@s4shaslaybright omg lol

[@taco1897]

This is such a good song, Honestly deserves more views because it's a fantastic performance too.

[@justxpeachy6497]

Everything about this is really good! The chereography is great. The only thing wrong with this is that sometimes it feels like the cast members are yelling their notes instead of singing, but only a few times. Otherwise, this was amazing! Great for reference!

[@juliaostlund9360]

i think it's okay as character choices but the ensemble parts can be a bit unbalanced

[@whoup1438]

William sounds just like the original actor

[@zayquit]

Single-handedly, this performance is the best one I have seen yet

[@meatmannequin]

are we not gonna talk about the vice principal on the rope?

[@NasTheKing]

Omg Chip twerks 1:32

[@craftsbykatied8234]

I'm playing panch in my production and I am feeling a need to send this to my director. I am fully prepared to swing from a rope.

[@constancedubowik1529]

I'm scared. I'm playing Panch in my schools performance and we often take inspiration for choreo

[@Moco_1203]

Which one is panch

[@ShaggyDudeLookalike]

[@smileyriley7514]

[@youraveragedissapointment4979]

Them randomly yelling: CRAYON

[@nuniyoa]

my school did a play for this one and they made me fortnite floss

[@okthatsfine694]

Why does chip look older?

[@amistrange100]

Who is number 7

[@peabean8755]

I’m pretty sure she’s just an extra

[@thattheatrenerd1418]

@Pea bean they are filling what usually is the audience participation bits, weird choice but they did choose it.

[@percy_shiield]
