this version of the song IS the best of it,it has the most heart and enthusiasm,all 3 of them are great!but that jester is very unique and has a fantastic camera presence!
This was such a well done version. I remember in 2010 when I was performing Harry in this I watched these videos and it really aided my performance. Would love to see this version in it's entirety if you we're ever able to upload it.
Out of all the versions of schools doing this I've seen, this is by far my favorite. I'm so glad I accidentally came across it while practicing vocals for auditions
I see a lot of...unimpressive performances of the Minstrel, so I liked seeing some personality in the character for once! Helps me with my upcoming audition!
I REALLY like how the king mimes his words. I like the words he mimes here. Mimes:Me? I can't even talk! Minstrel: We know you can't talk. You can't talk, but you manage to communicate. LOL XD TOP KNOTCH HUMOR!!!
I know this is 11 years late, but I'm happy to see another female (I presume) Minstrel, because my show is next month and it's kinda hard playing this character as a woman. I haven't seen any videos with a female Minstrel, so I'm not quite sure what to do. Got any tips?
I love this!!! the girl that plays the Jester is GREAT!!! my school is doing this musical this year!!! and i really want to be the jester!!! it would be AMAZING!!! she is so great!!! i want to be like her!!! saddly im sick and i have audtions monday :( i hope im better by then cause it would be amazing to be the jester!!! this is my favorite song!!!
So im purty sure that bremenite2013 down there is the Jester for the show at my school! haha I play Lady Larken and i have to say that this song is ahmazing! You guys blend so well together! I can't get over the jester girl she is so talented!
Play video Minstrel & Jester: We have only two voices among us and yet there's a third voice, a voice in disguise; You'll be hearing a trio and not a duet if you listen with both of your eyes. Kindly King: (mimes) [listen] Minstrel & Jester: with both of your King: (mimes) [eyes] Minstrel & Jester: We produce a unique and remarkable blend when we raise our three voices on high; we're in perfect accord from beginning to King: (mimes) [end] Jester: The king and the Minstrel and I. Minstrel & Jester: Yet if one of our trio should ever depart then the others would languish and die. We're like three different people with only one King: (mimes) [heart] Minstrel: The king and the Jester and I. Minstrel & Jester: Sing hey, nonny nonny, hey, nonny nonny hi diddle diddle, strike up a tune on the King: (mimes) [fiddle] Jester: Oh the cook claims she's missing one choc'late cream roll Minstrel: And a fish that was ready to fry. Minstrel & Jester: Guess who's dining on pastry and filet of King: (mimes) [ sole? Minstrel, Jester, I] Minstrel & Jester: Sing hey, nonny nonny, hey, nonny nonny needle and thimble, crash us a clash on the King: (mimes) [cymbal] (a lady crosses the stage) Jester: It's been set up our king that his morals are loose, Minstrel: But the queen is much worse on the sly, (the king runs off after the lady) Minstrel & Jester: Well, what's good for the gander is good for the (the lady screams offstage; the king runs back in) Minstrel: Say the king and the Jester, Jester: The king and the Minstrel, Minstrel & Jester: The King: (mimes) [minstrel] Minstrel & Jester: and the King: (mimes) [jester] Minstrel & Jester: and King: (mimes) [I] (they dance off)
I was looking up songs from this musical because my school is doing it this year, and I just realized this high school is in my school district lolololololol
I'm playing the Minstrel next month, and I'm kinda nervous because I have a high singing voice and can't hit the low notes... and neither can the Jester. I have to hope it sounds good with two high voices! I like watching these types of vids to get inspiration for my performance, though!
I can't find the website that has the lyrics to this 'The Minstrel, The Jester and I'. I've tried looking on other websites, but the internet can only tell me so much. HELP!!! X(
@bunny13102796 me too! I had auditions monday and tomorrow and i really want to be the jester! since hardly any boys audition from our school, I think i have a chance :) good luck though!
@myassholefellout REALLY? I just did this show also, and in my opinion, this is the best show Ive seen on youtube. & furthermore, I just don't think you have the balls to go up in front of an audience :)
Alas, that is the difficult part about being a woman playing a role written for males. I have to do the same thing as the Minstrel, and it definitely annoys me.
I want to hug that girl playing the Jester, she was amazing. :)
this version of the song IS the best of it,it has the most heart and enthusiasm,all 3 of them are great!but that jester is very unique and has a fantastic camera presence!
To be honest,I absolutely adore the cast in this version! More than the Broadway cast to tell the truth.
I play the jester in my theater now! its a great part!! this is a good song!!!!!!! Good job guys!!!!! i love all the harmony!
Hoping for the jester in my school's musical. This jester is AWESOME! Thanks for the inspiration :)
This was such a well done version. I remember in 2010 when I was performing Harry in this I watched these videos and it really aided my performance. Would love to see this version in it's entirety if you we're ever able to upload it.
I'm playing the Jester in my school's production this upcoming march. This is a great inspiration!
My junior high is doing this play and I was lucky enough to get minstrel :p

Same.
Out of all the versions of schools doing this I've seen, this is by far my favorite. I'm so glad I accidentally came across it while practicing vocals for auditions
Okay, this is such an old video but this is THE best cast on RUclips!
I see a lot of...unimpressive performances of the Minstrel, so I liked seeing some personality in the character for once! Helps me with my upcoming audition!
I REALLY like how the king mimes his words. I like the words he mimes here. Mimes:Me? I can't even talk! Minstrel: We know you can't talk. You can't talk, but you manage to communicate. LOL XD TOP KNOTCH HUMOR!!!
I'm so excited to do this scene as the Minstrel! My king and jester are 2 of my favorite people, so we'll have fun with this one :)))) Yay!
I know this is 11 years late, but I'm happy to see another female (I presume) Minstrel, because my show is next month and it's kinda hard playing this character as a woman. I haven't seen any videos with a female Minstrel, so I'm not quite sure what to do. Got any tips?
The jester has an amazing voice! :)

There is some phenominal harmony happening here. Easily the best version I've been able to find on the RUclips. Great job X 1,000,000 +2

I'm doing this in two weeks as the mute king. Whoever sees this, wish me good luck!
KateTheTrash no
the switching between octaves is annoying me. other than that, very good! :)
Alas, that is the difficult part about being a woman playing a role written for males. I have to do the same thing as the Minstrel, and it definitely annoys me.
