This show is pure BRILLIANCE!!!!!!!! I loved every minute of it! It's SOOOOO hilarious. Malfoy is just ridiculously funny, same as Ron. Harry has an amazing voice as well. This show seriously needs to come to broadway!
Yeah. I love the act one finale when Harry takes off on his Quidditch broom. No one's gonna bring him down!

Though nowadays there are a lot of parody musicals, this is certainly one of the best. With only a few minor flaws which can be easily fixed, it's basically ready for Broadway. And over the copyright thing, if it's only a parody (and they put the word parody in the title), would there be any legal battles? Isn't this why Forbidden Broadway ran for so many years? They didn't even write their own songs.
What is this
It sounds similar to what I saw a month or 2 ago at a local high school

I am totally addicted to it, by the way. Someone get this to Broadway! Or at least a nice-quality recording, please. :/

I was just going to say that.
They need to call it something else.
Apparently, the musical is going to be officially renamed and marketed as parody to keep it alive. Here are some of the suggested new names for the project...
Copyrighted Famous Wizard, The Musical
Harry Potter and the Musical Parody: Or, The Complete Works Of JK Rowling (Abridged)
You-Know-Who, The Musical
The Musical That Must Not Be Named

I hope it gets put back up soon!
Edit: OMG they may give us a cast recording!
simply "HARRY: THE MUSICAL" would work, but I do love the suggestion noted above, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF JK ROWLING, ABRIDGED
OMG!! That would be so AWESOMELY AMAZING! It would just be soooo FANTASTICALLY BRILLIANT! Totally awesome!

Edit the videos? Are they going to just bleep out every sinlge time they say a copyrighted name or something? That sucks... but they are technically protected as a simple parody, infact PPP uses more copyrighted names and such and they've lasted longer than one week.
I dont think there gonna bleep out names. There just changing the title of the show.
The title thats winning is "The Musical That Must Not Be Named"!!
It would appear that the editing is cutting the videos down to just the songs and presenting them as wizard-rock music videos, not as excerpts from the musical, until it is retitled and less legally "touchy."

I'm excited that they will try and re-post. I just started watching them last night and had to go to bed so I'm only on Act 1 Part 6
I think it could last in an off or off off broadway theatre. lol
I hope it's not just reposted as songs... most of the most memorable stuff was dialogue.

I'm so disappointed that these are gone! I hope the reposts don't bleep out all of the copyrighted stuff like Hogwarts, Dumbledore etc but I can't see what they'll do to get around that sort of stuff. I'm in love with this opening number.

Yes, I hope they repost the entire show as well.
Or release a DVD.
"Bitch I aint Cho Chang"!!! "Oh my god Hermione SHUT UP"!!!!!!!!! hahaha

I agree! I hope the "tweaking" is just re-titling the videos. I vote for The Musical That Must Not Be Named.
