@@johnbuckeridge4210 let's see: Shakespeare is European. Christian Borle played Marvin, who's gay and Jewish. Therefore, Shakespeare is Gay AND European.
Thanks so much to whoever posted this. I don't have the money for Broadway neither do I live in New York so this is really a treat. Thanks!!! Love musicals.
Not only is this the original cast, but the original version as well! I was so confused by the minor differences and entire new song in the second act, until I learned that the Broadway Recording album is the refined version of the musical which was done after this!

This is from previews; I really like that they eventually moved all of the To Thine Own Self reprise to the courtroom, instead of having half of it onstage and the second half in court.
I know the licensing agencies abhor bootlegs, but I think once the show closes they're not afraid the video is taking business away from the original production or any possible movie rights or commercial stage recording they might want to make. In the case of Wicked which has run for so long, I think they came to the realization that 152 versions of "Popular" are actually free advertising for them and keeps their fanbase alive.
From what I can find online, this is an early preview of the show, and Lovely Love was cut before they did the album. Same for why To Thine Own Self has slightly different lyrics, why Right Hand Man (Reprise) is missing, etc.
9:17 I've seen another version (probably later) where he looks at Nostradamus when he says "THAT'S the great idea?" the first time I think it's so funny, like he knows Nostradamus and maybe even been to him for his ideas
AyaBuchler i think this is a recording of the first few performances, or previews. i think it’s a cut song, but i’m sure you can find it somewhere on youtube, they have a whole one hour video somewhere on youtube of some of the songs they cut :))
@@chilicayte THANK YOU!! I'm so confused as to why the second act is soooooo different from the "new" version. SO many different lines, Lovely Love, different lyrics to To Thine Own Self and its reprise placement, Something Rotten/Make an Omelette is very different, CONFUSION
I'm pretty sure this is previews because Act 2 is veeeeeery different. Like, the plotline is the same, but there are different lines and more songs and some with different lyrics and placement.
Thanks for sharing. Was this a preview performance or an out of town tryout? During the "Omelette" number, "Mary Poppins" and "Dreamgirls" reference were omitted. Also, slightly difference finale.
I have written twelve plays and each one is a great testament to my great skill. I am the Will. And I wrote Taming Of The Shrew and RIchard Three and Richard Two and Henry Four and Five and Six and Titus Andronicus! And oh did I forget... Romeo... AND JULIET!
Hysterical first Act. Fun Second Act, but very very strange and a tough wrap up. Overall, I love the music and the comedy was just so silly I laughed out loud. :)

that quartet with the two couples was gorgeous, but i saw this show twice and don't remember that song! did they cut it during previews? (im assuming this was a previews recording bc there were so many different lyrics in act two haha)
I gotta say I'm surprised at how different the original version is. If I'm not wrong this is a different version than the one with Rob McClure, with Lovely Love and a different version of To Thine Own Self Be True. I'm pretty confused though. Why did they get rid of Lovely Love? Act 2 is very very different from the one with Rob McClure, and the songs in this act are different from the ones on the soundtrack. I'm just trying to understand the timeline since I know this is the original cast and production, but why is there a different one with most of the same actors? Also, the soundtrack says Original BW Cast Recording, but all of the songs are the 2016 versions of them, but the actors are the original ones. I'm so confused.
this is from previews, so before the show actually opened and they cut quite a few of the songs and changed some stuff for when it officially opened, this is what they usually do with musicals, they always change stuff from previews. and as for the cast if youre talking about the 'tap dancing eggs the musical' upload, im presuming that that was filmed a while into their run so brian and other cast members had probs left
This whole musical was just setting up the "Tobey, or NOT TOBEY" joke
"What news?"
"The Nazis have arrived!"
"Huzzah!"
*Shylock sweats nervously*
"tobey?!" "or not to be" this musical was created only for the purpose of this pun

Honey, I think you mean Andrew Rannells
I am in love with Christian and the ensemble of dancers that just sort of follow him around
I love how at curtain call, all of the actors have pure happiness on their faces
I wonder what the real William Shakespeare would’ve thought of this musical...?
he probably would have said, eh needs more sex jokes
And more clever insults
Hate what he is proposed to be but will love the actor playing him
Ask Anne Hatheway. She'll know what her husband thinks
needs more made up words
New Broadway drinking game...take a shot everytime there is a reference from another musical in the performance of Omelette. lol

Hell, some (or probably most) of us don't live in the US, so there's no way we would see it otherwise
"Do you really think that could happen?" Broke my heart Nigel
I wish "Lovely Love" wasn't cut from the musical. I really love that song 💕
Yes, I wish it was still in it when i saw it last week :(((
Or that they had at least included it as an extra on the cast album.
Agreed! Their harmonies in that song are so good
The Yorkshire accent is just 👌👌👌
"I like the new York actor!"
It really is - it's incredibly rare to get an American actor being able to nail a York accent. Most end up as Manchester
I was really pleasantly surprised with Christian Borle's accents! His British one is amazing but his Yorkshire one is so impressive!
Not only is this the original cast, but the original version as well! I was so confused by the minor differences and entire new song in the second act, until I learned that the Broadway Recording album is the refined version of the musical which was done after this!
Yeah, it was that song with the four leads. I was confused on what that was.
CATS!! A whole stage full of singing cats. No wait..yea singing cats ...fave line in act 2
Well I have just written the thing that the critics are calling the greatest thing they've ever seen...
The people are loving it, can't get enough of it, everyone, even including the Queen!
Is it called Something Rotten
And privately she told me that your not any good, not any good, not any good, and she told me that all of your plays make her vomit and nothing's as good as my musical OMELETTE!
...Wait a minute. You wrote Omelette?
Yes.
I will never forgive the writers for cutting lovely love out of this show, its such a nice song
Agreed
"The ghost of the dead father - No, the Phantom" and only the guy who recorded this got it?
I don't understand...?

Has anyone noticed that "To thine own self" is completely different from the cast soundtrack?😂😂
Yeah what is going on???
These are just simply previews. In which they just test the show on the Broadway. So therefore, some things have been tweaked since then.
It's also extremely different from the current script as well. This is one show that changes a lot as it goes on.
To be fair, eggs are an appropriate topic for this show.I mean, Christian makes every girl ovulate.
and he is also an egg

Why on earth "Lovely Love" was cut/not included onto the cast recording is an absolute crime to Musical Theatre!
From what I can find online, this is an early preview of the show, and Lovely Love was cut before they did the album. Same for why To Thine Own Self has slightly different lyrics, why Right Hand Man (Reprise) is missing, etc.
