I actually like how some of the actors delivered their lines in this one better, and I like some of the shortening and editing, though there are other parts of the song that I feel require a bit more gusto. Overall, I like this version as much as I like the original!
My roles when I did this were: Salon worker Harvard student Backround character in serious Lol pretty much just ensemble but I still had soooooo much fun
I remember when I did this when I was in high school and the girl who played Elle and her mic went out during the big number right before intermission and we were like "oh shit". Then she started singing so loud she overpowered all the other mic'd singers and the musical pit. Then we were like "ooooohhhhh shiiiit". I was in the pit and when intermission hit everyone gave her a hug.
I have a really good way to learn songs in either one day or two 1. Listen to the song just to get an understanding of it 2. Listen to it with the lyrics so u know exactly what the words are sometimes words run together so it’s hard to understand 3. Song with the lyrics with music 4. Repeat step three with no music 5. Listen to instrumental so u know all the starting parts 6. Sing with the instrumental at this point u should know the song but if you don’t then use the lyrics If this doesn’t work in the first day just repeat steps 1 and 6

This is my favorite musical. I loved singing this song in it.
This and whipped into shaped were one of my favorite songs to choreograph for my school musical
I have to be the spring fling bash extreme in my acting class and Lowell.
I actually like how some of the actors delivered their lines in this one better, and I like some of the shortening and editing, though there are other parts of the song that I feel require a bit more gusto. Overall, I like this version as much as I like the original!
My roles when I did this were:
Salon worker
Harvard student
Backround character in serious
Lol pretty much just ensemble but I still had soooooo much fun
Haha I was also in the ensemble I'm a person at the salon and Delta Nu
im grandmaster chad:D
I’m playing Elle so stressed out trying to learn all the songs!😩
I remember when I did this when I was in high school and the girl who played Elle and her mic went out during the big number right before intermission and we were like "oh shit". Then she started singing so loud she overpowered all the other mic'd singers and the musical pit. Then we were like "ooooohhhhh shiiiit". I was in the pit and when intermission hit everyone gave her a hug.
I have a really good way to learn songs in either one day or two
1. Listen to the song just to get an understanding of it

You can't just barge in here with singing and dancing and ethnic movement.
This is a very flashy presentation, but I still don't see one reason to admit you!
ELLE
How about love?
Have you ever been in love?
Cause if you have, you'll know
That love never accepts a defeat
No challenge it can't meet
No place it cannot go
Don't say no to a woman in love
Don't laugh when I say love
Don't think that I'm naive
Because even a person who's smart
Can listen to their heart
Can listen and believe
So believe in what love can achieve
Do you believe?
