I think that she could be good if she had some training.

Oh my God, I love the Scarlet Pimpernel one. The editing alone XD
Hey, I love that Scarlet Pimpernel one. I watch it at least once a week. Any Chauvelin who can teleport is awesome in my book. (And if you watch Madame Guillotine or one of the other vids, that Chauvelin actually can sing a lot better than this when he's in a more comfortable range.)

Bump.
Let's keep this alive!
OMG! Pipmy! They actually censored the word "damn"? Who censors damn??? And with "go!". It was very Phantom.
This thread like totally made my night. All of these videos are so hilarious!
I know that Blacklick Valley High School's production of Les Miserables is infamous on this thread, but I thought I'd share my favorite scene of theirs:

Normally, "Runaway Cart" makes me giggle for being an awkward moment of the show.
Here, it makes me laugh for all the wrong reasons.
"Yes, the brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over, men recognize that the human race has been harshly treated but it has moved forward." - Les Miserables
You there! You are a member of Abaisse, aren't you?
You might recognize me by my username, or by the person I chose to put in my avatar...
P.S. I love that Javert's fluffy pirate hat. He needs a stupid curly mustache to complete the look.
I was watching the video of our favorite high school performing "At The End of The Day" and what cracks me up (besides the horrific singing and sewing choreography) is the fact that they censored some of the lyrics but kept the line "I might have known the bitch could bite." What gives??
EDIT: Can't resist posting this. It's the "Upon These Stones/Building the Barricade" sequence. Enjolras is terrible, and the actor playing Javert goes waaaay flat when he sings the line "In The days of my youth". The only decent actress is the girl who played Eponine. Sorry if it's already posted.
Building The Barricade/ On My Own
You there! You are a member of Abaisse, aren't you?
Aye, yes I am! And yes, I recognize your name! (as well as your avatar).
I was tempted to comment on Javert's fluffy hat ... the curly moustache would have made it funnier, for sure.
Also, I agree, the girl playing Eponine is quite good. Perhaps the only good part of their production. I'm sure she'd be better with training, but the talent is there.
What I love most are the costumes - matching red vests and berets at the barricade! It's genius!
But, not quite as genius as having people wave the French flag at the barricade:

@ Cats. Crazy-ass Christian schools censor "Damn." Hell, I had to fight to just keep "demme" in there, and we still almost got shut down.
When we did Into the Woods, we had to censor "Witch" because the administration was afraid of any association with witchcraft. Instead, we all just said "Enchantress."
As for the pimpy video's quality: Yes, my editing is awful, but I thought that the production was handled pretty well.
Edited: At least the first one is a joke

The singing isn't terrible, but the acting and costumes just cracks me up.

haha... that wizard of oz one had me laughing... but it sounded weirded so i looked up HKAPA SMS... and sure enough my thoughts were confirmed... HKAPA is the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts... no wonder the kids and adults all had accents!!!! at first i thought it was just truly bad acting/characterization.... hahaa... and despite how cheesy and bad the group dancing was.. they were pretty spot on and in unison... GO ASIANS! hahaa..

gypsy4 - why was the first dance section with the girls at like HALF the normal tempo?
And why was Polly still in overalls? She's supposed to be dressed up for the show that never happened.

Gypsy4, I'm not familiar with CFY but it sounded fine until the guys started singing.

I knew David Archuleta was a flamer long before IDOL!
HAHA!
I agree! WORST. COSTUME. EVER.

I was not part of that production because i'm not in hs yet but i do know they had to slow it down part of that was because of the orchestra and the conductor they couldn't play that fast i was sort of dissapointed. and i have no idea why polly wasn't dressed that actress happens to be good friend of mine but i guess thats what the director wanted.

I absolutely LOVE the Falcon in the Dive pirouette or pencil turn or whatever that was at :45 and the ,what i like to call, "baby Chauvelin pout" at 1:05. I just cant stop watching that one. It wins in my book.
