Does anyone know of good videos of amateur productions, such as pantos, where they incorporate songs of musicals into unrelated stories? They're hilariously addictive.

Yeah, some are talented. Just love the change of lyrics to fit the scene...or not.

Well right now in CINDERELLA, Laura Osnes sings "Jerry Likes My Corn".

My drama club used to do that all the time back in elementary and middle school. The teacher chose a simple story or sometimes an original and then just had the characters bursting into songs whenever she felt it appropiate. We lip-synched to everyone from the Disney princesses to Ricky Martin.

My middle school production of PETER PAN added the song "Nobody Does It Like Me" from SEESAW for Tinker Bell to sing.

My high school added No Bad News to The Wizard of Oz and it was sung by a little white girl... it wasn't good.

I have to say I love these! And I will say "Go Aladdin! Your flying effects blows broadways out of the water.... at least you track across stage!

According to the comments, that Aladdin is Fra Fee (Courfeyrac in the Les Miz film). I believe he's also played Marius in the London production.

Why do teachers and directors think it's just okay to add a song from another musical? I don't get it.

To answer your question CATSNYrevival, the teachers know it's wrong and do it anyway. Why? Cause no one will catch them. I've had teachers say that to me with a straight face when they've wanted to add songs into shows I was music directing. Apparently I'm the uptight one for saying know when other staffers already said yes. It blows my mind every time.
