@@nategolie2208 Phantom Menace had already come out and revenge of the sith was on the was. Though he does not look like Obi, since they made him dye his hair black; probably because Nicole Kidman (the actress playing his love interest) and the Duke (his love rival) were already redheads.
The Shakespeare in the “And Juliet” piece has a facially expression that reminds me so much of Lin Manuel Miranda that I’m getting my information about the play mixed up.
Alex’s pure bafflement and confusion about “& Juliet” is hilarious and has made me want to listen to/watch the show now (I’m not usually into musicals so this is surprising)
Never watched &Juliet, but the man in the top left corner is my new hyperfixation His jacket is just, the greatest piece of clothing I have ever witnessed. I am dying, I am deceased
Okay, my suggestions: "First Date/Last Night" from Dogfight "When He Sees Me" or "Never Getting Rid of Me" from Waitress "Right Hand Man" from Something Rotten "I've Decided to Marry You" from A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder "Everybody Loves Louis" from Sunday in the Park With George "I'm in Love With a Girl Named Fred" from Once Upon a Mattress They may not all be the most fitting for the topic at hand, but I love them all so much.
Part of me expected to see Annabel Has A Doll from Paul Shapera’s “The Dolls of New Albion” opera represented here. It’s... romantic? And tragic, but still.
I have mixed feelings about the stage play of Moulin Rouge, which is frustrating considering Aaron Tveit is one of my favorite Broadway actors and Moulin Rouge is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I digress. In the original movie, there was only one original song: Come What May. It was originally written for Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet, but made it into Moulin Rouge instead.
Unfortunately I'm drowning into work and can't indulge into my enjoyment for romantic content but your video is a welcome break and it warms my heart. Thank you for your art, for the effort and time you put into it and for sharing it with us, it really helped me, especially today.
Moulin Rouge is such a great movie (have not seen the musical). Rent is a good and i first heard of it and saw clips of a Broadway production of it when i was in like 4th or 5th grade (i.e. late 80s/early 90s) and it hit me in the feels. And i've never heard of the third one. Regardless, great job on these! makes me want to do pieces based on songs. haven't done that in YEARS!
“Captain Cockney and the Candlestick” punched me in the face when I was least expecting it and I was laughing so hard I totally lost track of the next few minutes of audio and had to go back. I needed that laugh, though, so thank you for that. Anyway, awesome video as usual! I’m not a big fan of musicals but it’s super fun listening to you talk about them because you obviously enjoy them so much ✨💜
Been doing school stuff almost all day, but I did have a Valentine themed cup cake with lunch! So that's something. All these drawings are freaking cute, OML.
Rent will always be one of my favorite musicals ~ Seasons of Love was my Elementary school graduation song! I was the only one in my class who recognized it- I had already seen the movie version before then,, I watched it when I was way to young to understand it, but I still loved it a lot,,
"As Long As You're Mine" from Wicked is a love song from a Broadway musical has always been a love song that I love. Another one I really love is "One Step Closer" from The Little Mermaid is another favorite of mine to hit Broadway. I also really love "If I Can't Love Her" from the Broadway musical adaption of Beauty And The Beast, my favorite love story.
I have some ideas! 1. It Only Takes a Taste - Waitress 2. If I Could Tell Her - Dear Evan Hansen 3. My Freeze Ray - Dr. Horrible Hopefully you're having a good 2023!
Angel was my favorite character in RENT hands down. I think Angel died, or something really bad happened to them, and I remember sobbing on my couch at midnight.
I also remember being an in-the-closet bisexual and this all happened in 6th grade. I was recommended it by a teacher. What a way to scare me from coming out-
I got my first valentines today(at 25), and I'm living on cloud nine till further notice. I also gave all my co-workers chocolate, our neighbors(we share the building) got balloons; and one of my coworkers got balloons, and chocolate because I asked what she would like and got "make me feel special" as an answer. She is also getting chocolate covered strawberries, when strawberries are back in stock. As romance heavy as valentines can be, I love my coworkers, and that's what I chose to focus on. So, a Very Happy Valentines to you all! (And I need to look up, & Juliet. I think my mom would live it.)
dude i love rent so much it was my first introduction to musicles as a whole, my music teacher wanted us to learn season of love and then watch the movie and i was so inlæove with everything about it and then it evolved into me now having an entire spotify wrapped of only musicales
my favorite thing about finland and the way this holiday is celebrated here is that the finnish name for valentine's day is "friend's day" so you can easily just celebrate the platonic love between friends!
Aaaah the Rent piece just reminded me of my absolute love for Rent and its story! All of these pieces are absolutely beautiful, and your composition is always so interesting and lively
Literally have a spotify playlist dedicated to musical love songs if ever i wanna get that dose of serotonin!! 🥺🥺 Some of my favs are: 1. When youre home - in the heights 2. All ive ever known - hadestown 3. The next ten minutes - the last 5 years 4. In a crowd of thousands - anastasia 5. You matter to me - waitress
There's only one thing that can make me stop singing my favorite love songs from musical theater, and it's Alex drawing love songs from musical theater.
As both another chronically single and ace person, I do indeed enjoy the sappy media to browse through on this day of the year. This video is another addition to that! Happy Valentine's Day y'all 🥰♥️
Thank you for always recommending songs I find some of the best ones this way!! Just listened to backstage romance and holy heck my life's changed and I will now be listening to it for at least the next week...XD
I doubt you'll see this and you already know it based on hundreds of other comments but, I just truly enjoy your art videos so much. Watching you create is so inspiring and beautiful. Hope you keep enjoying it too, and keep creating
You asked what our favorite lovey dovey song was from a musical and here’s mine. My all time favorite one that honestly just hit so hard, especially one line was the reprise of “wait for me” from hades town, especially the lines “then how ‘bout you and I? Are we gonna try again?” “it’s time for spring, we’ll try again next fall.” “wait for me?” “I will.”.... that part takes the cake
One of my favorite musical love songs is "Ten Minutes Ago" from the 1997 movie adaptation of Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. I rewatched it with my girlfriend recently and was grinning from ear to ear the entire way through. Seeing Cinderella and Prince Topher singing about how completely enamored they are by each other is just so wholesome and cute. Plus, the waltz choreography is absolutely *gorgeous*
I’m so so so happy you did rent for this as well, Angel and Collins meant so much to me!!! I got cast as Mark in a production of Rent at my university and being in the show as well as seeing all of my favorite creators start to talk about it more this year has been a dream!
Love the drawings this time! Your art is so incredible and you have one of my favorite art styles of any artist! (and i know you’ve already mentioned this one in your other musical drawing sessions but Legally Blonde anyone? Their relationship KILLED me. I loved it sm.)
As a Moulin Rougue fan, I had to look up the broadway version after your video. I was not disappointed!! It’s such a damn bop!! Thank you for the new musical addiction!
I am just now able to watch this video and when I saw RENT, I got so incredibly excited! thank you so much for including this amazing musical in your video!!
I love the extra animation around your little persona dude, it's so cute! Also, art is amazing as always! Edt: an addendum, you have given me more songs to listen to as I write so thank you for that Mr. Illustrates
& Juliet is my favourite musical, I saw it live with the original West End cast when it first came out and watched it again with Juliet's understudy, both times were incredible. I love that you drew it, it looks incredible xxxxxxxx
all your videos are spot on, just lovely and it’s always good news when you post ✨ also your art is so stylish and you can tell how much you’ve grown in your line work and the shapes you use for your drawings ☺️
Dresses are so fun to draw i agree edit one: backstreet boyss???? edit two: CAPTAIN COCKNEY AND THE CANDLESTICK!! edit 3: I got to see &Juliet in back october! it was so fun, so happy about it
Your videos bring me such joy to watch, I love learning about new musicals from you and learning from your art style, plus the very chill vibes. It's just so nice, thank you for making these
I'm in love with your art style, the way you draw fabric and hair is amazing, it's so fluid and full of motion I can't. I wish my art was half as good as yours.
my favourite musical love song has definitely gotta be “the way i do” from starship. megagirl and tootsie’s relationship is literally so adorable and meredith and dylan have such gorgeous voices !!
This looks amazing! Love hearing you gushing about all the different musicals ^^ and the illustartions are amazing like always! Thank you for making a other wonderfull video
suggestions of love songs you say? while it's not a "love song" per say, "Thrill of First Love" from Falsettos is an absolute banger, the entirety of Falsettos is incredible, really, i would highly recommend it.
Before even finishing the video I immediately went to listen to the Original cast recording of & Juliet, and *wow!* I loved it so much, and it will definitely be something I listen to on the daily!
man i love your videos and art style always put a smile on my face, thank you for making these videos and giving me more musicals to lose time obsessing over 🥲
these are great! honestly seeing this youtube notification brightened my lonely valentines day, being a very shy aromantic. so happy someone else actually knows what moulin rouge is!! and im excited to see hadestown sometime. keep up the great work ! ♥
💖 Happy Valentine’s y’all, and thanks for stopping by! (^^)/ 💖
Hope you’re having a very merry chocolate day, and that ya enjoyed today’s song selection! (Pls do lemme know your faves here in the comments!)
Links for prints of today’s artworks are up in the description as per usual if ya wanted to nab one 💖
I can't decide my favorite they're so amazing! I'm making a Valentine's Day drawing of my OCs Birch and Blossom. You doing okay?
Hey Alex, quick question, when General Kenobi was in Moulin Rouge did he LOOK like Obi, or was it when he was younger?
I had a terrible chocolate day, but your art is cool.
@@nategolie2208 Phantom Menace had already come out and revenge of the sith was on the was. Though he does not look like Obi, since they made him dye his hair black; probably because Nicole Kidman (the actress playing his love interest) and the Duke (his love rival) were already redheads.
alex, and juliet is in london, and its actually quite cheap, its soooo good, i hope you go see it!
Me, an ace, with my tiny cup of ice cream to celebrate the day: I feel so seen
Sameeee!
Same heeere! ♡♡♡
Ah ha! Fellow ace brethren
me, a demi romantic, just happy to love my friends platonically
Same! I'm so happy to see so many other ace peeps!!
Captain Cockney and the Candlestick may be the greatest thing I have heard in a very long time.
I straight up CACKLED and had to pause the video before I could keep listening XD
I nearly DIED at that line; recovering from a cough and then laughing so hard I nearly lost a lung was not ideal.
i’m gonna use that as a fantasy bard band
Sounds like it'd be an awesome band name
The Shakespeare in the “And Juliet” piece has a facially expression that reminds me so much of Lin Manuel Miranda that I’m getting my information about the play mixed up.
I thought it was him fr
i can't unsee it's now
You’re right what
I may be having a horrible day, but Alex makes it better, even if just slightly.
yeah his videos always cheer me up when im having a bad day
Man I feel that
Ah the musical urge to quit my job and become a 'Spicy Accountant' XD
Alex’s pure bafflement and confusion about “& Juliet” is hilarious and has made me want to listen to/watch the show now (I’m not usually into musicals so this is surprising)
i looked up &Juliet immediately after finishing this video, and let me tell you, it slaps. and you have made a new convert XD
in all ways except physical, I am that one gif of Elmo sticking his hands in the air in front of a fire right now
(glad ya like the tunes! 💖)
And so did I omg I'm obsessed and I'm happy I ain't the only one
I DID THE SAME THING IM CRING THE MALE VOICe IN THTA WAY
Hey, do you know were I can watch it?
@@gaseosagrasosa4512 album is on spotify!
"Captain Cockney and the candlestick" KILLED me. I am dead. My god.
That is an awesome band name.
"I am bamboozled, but I am obsessed" is something that basically sums up my entire life
Never watched &Juliet, but the man in the top left corner is my new hyperfixation
His jacket is just, the greatest piece of clothing I have ever witnessed.
I am dying, I am deceased
Okay, my suggestions:
"First Date/Last Night" from Dogfight
"When He Sees Me" or "Never Getting Rid of Me" from Waitress
"Right Hand Man" from Something Rotten
"I've Decided to Marry You" from A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder
"Everybody Loves Louis" from Sunday in the Park With George
"I'm in Love With a Girl Named Fred" from Once Upon a Mattress
They may not all be the most fitting for the topic at hand, but I love them all so much.
We all love those spicy accountants. Apparently so does Obi-Wan Kanobi
Part of me expected to see Annabel Has A Doll from Paul Shapera’s “The Dolls of New Albion” opera represented here. It’s... romantic? And tragic, but still.
A one sided romance but still
the true ABD illustrates experience is having a crush on everyone in the video
Not a musical buff, but gotta say, you've got me pumped for all of these! Happy Valentines day
( ꈍᴗꈍ)!!

Regardless, great job on these! makes me want to do pieces based on songs. haven't done that in YEARS!
Moulin Rouge, yes! Makes me shed a tear and sing along everytime!
I just saw it within the last two years, and the moment he mentioned it I just could not stop smiling!
It's always so fun when you find out the actual musical of the song you've been jamming out to for months
Hey, if nothing else, valentines is the perfect time to buy on sale chocolate and use it to wash away the pain from being single!
“Captain Cockney and the Candlestick” punched me in the face when I was least expecting it and I was laughing so hard I totally lost track of the next few minutes of audio and had to go back. I needed that laugh, though, so thank you for that.
Anyway, awesome video as usual! I’m not a big fan of musicals but it’s super fun listening to you talk about them because you obviously enjoy them so much ✨💜
I saw & Juliet in person on a school trip. It honestly blew us all away, by the big reveal before the break we were all screaming our heads out.
Been doing school stuff almost all day, but I did have a Valentine themed cup cake with lunch! So that's something.
All these drawings are freaking cute, OML.
Rent will always be one of my favorite musicals ~ Seasons of Love was my Elementary school graduation song! I was the only one in my class who recognized it-
I had already seen the movie version before then,, I watched it when I was way to young to understand it, but I still loved it a lot,,
yay second and love the video,also i swear every time i watch your musical videos i add to my list of musicals to wacth so thanks
You are officially now my valentines day date for today, thank you for the video alex, because that just made my day!
"As Long As You're Mine" from Wicked is a love song from a Broadway musical has always been a love song that I love. Another one I really love is "One Step Closer" from The Little Mermaid is another favorite of mine to hit Broadway. I also really love "If I Can't Love Her" from the Broadway musical adaption of Beauty And The Beast, my favorite love story.
I have some ideas!
1. It Only Takes a Taste - Waitress
2. If I Could Tell Her - Dear Evan Hansen
3. My Freeze Ray - Dr. Horrible
Hopefully you're having a good 2023!
Thank you for making my valentines much better, this is a perfect early birthday present 🧡
I’m so excited to listen to & Juliet now, it seems so fun!
Looked up &Juliet on spotify and immediately went into a trace dancing around and cleaned my whole flat so thanks ig?
Seeing one of your videos pop up saying „2 minutes ago“ made me feel special today :D
Angel was my favorite character in RENT hands down. I think Angel died, or something really bad happened to them, and I remember sobbing on my couch at midnight.
Yep, Angel dies in the show from AIDS complications
I also remember being an in-the-closet bisexual and this all happened in 6th grade. I was recommended it by a teacher. What a way to scare me from coming out-
Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!
Always love your videos man, glad to have something to listen to today.
I got my first valentines today(at 25), and I'm living on cloud nine till further notice.
I also gave all my co-workers chocolate, our neighbors(we share the building) got balloons; and one of my coworkers got balloons, and chocolate because I asked what she would like and got "make me feel special" as an answer.

So, a Very Happy Valentines to you all!
(And I need to look up, & Juliet. I think my mom would live it.)
“Captain Cockney and the Candlestick” I’m dying xD
Awh yay Alex content! Gonna listen to this while reading a book and eating candy. 😌
dude i love rent so much it was my first introduction to musicles as a whole, my music teacher wanted us to learn season of love and then watch the movie and i was so inlæove with everything about it and then it evolved into me now having an entire spotify wrapped of only musicales
I heard the intro and thought "I hope he draws I'll Cover You" and you did! my heart jumped for joy
“Chronically Single” I love this 💖
my favorite thing about finland and the way this holiday is celebrated here is that the finnish name for valentine's day is "friend's day" so you can easily just celebrate the platonic love between friends!
I really wanted to see some Hadestown art, but it was nice to see these other musical art pieces.
You did an amazing job! Thank you for serotonin!
Aaaah the Rent piece just reminded me of my absolute love for Rent and its story! All of these pieces are absolutely beautiful, and your composition is always so interesting and lively

When I thought that my day couldn’t possible get any better Alex drops a video
Am I in heaven?
The idea of And Juliet is pretty intriguing honestly.
WoW, I just fell in love with that channel! Your art style is so beautiful!
I'm in love with your art style, the way you draw fabric and hair is amazing, it's so fluid and full of motion I can't.
I wish my art was half as good as yours.
Thank you! Perfect way for me to celebrate Valentine’s!

Videos like this are the reason I know so many musicals
Happy Valentine's day! I'm excited to see the whole video!
I love your compositions Alex! Striving to reach your creativity!
I was never a big Rent fan but if Angel and Collins were the main characters I probably would’ve enjoyed it more. You draw them so adorably.
moulin rouge was what made me fall in love with musicals and I will always love it for that
I’m so glad you picked a song from RENT! They’re so cute and this is going to make me cry I swear
So wonderful!
This looks amazing! Love hearing you gushing about all the different musicals ^^ and the illustartions are amazing like always! Thank you for making a other wonderfull video
suggestions of love songs you say? while it's not a "love song" per say, "Thrill of First Love" from Falsettos is an absolute banger, the entirety of Falsettos is incredible, really, i would highly recommend it.
Before even finishing the video I immediately went to listen to the Original cast recording of & Juliet, and *wow!* I loved it so much, and it will definitely be something I listen to on the daily!
I was lucky enough to be able to see & Juliet before everything closed down. And it was a blast! Highly recommend watching it if possible
man i love your videos and art style always put a smile on my face, thank you for making these videos and giving me more musicals to lose time obsessing over 🥲
