Least Appropriate Thing Ever

Whose idea was it to put on Evita with barely pubescent kids? This is just... tasteless... They cannot be any older than seventh grade. The kid playing Peron is making a valiant effort since his voice is obviously rapidly changing during the course of the song.

Here's "Goodnight and Thank You." It's set in a restaurant. Actually, I really like the boys' Oompa Loompa dancing. Was Magaldi held back nine grades or something?

I actually don't think the cast is that bad, but I will say that the staging makes Frances Zambello look like Hal Prince.

ETA:
This one is epic.

That Good Night and Thank You clip is really something. It's really weird hearing Annie sing, "Oh, but it's sad when a love affair dies, but when we here hot we were hot!" Love the table falling over, though.

I love watching videos of bad school performances.

It's always funny seeing girl and girl dancing pairs. And the fact that they stick everybody in the show on the stage at once.

I didn't post it on that thread because it ain't a high school production!

Schmerg,
Best. Nickname. Ever.

Watching 7th graders trying to be sassy and sexy (when they clear don't know what that is) is so disturbing and hilarious.

This is officially my favorite thing ever.

Edit: Is Peron faking an English accent!? Or is that because it's a Canadian production?

This gal playing Eva sure does smile a lot. And it kinda looks like she might have stuck herself with the hat pin! Not too bad though.

The real question is, when can we get these companies the rights to FIRST WIVES CLUB?

Is Eva 12 years old?

All jokes aside, I think they deserve a few points for at least tackling the material.

But dear Lord, why isn't "A New Argentina" included?

I kind of want to see that production's version of "Peron's Latest Flame!" I can't wait to see how they'd possibly censor it.

Yeah, the cast is pretty good for middle school-- Magaldi in particular has a lot of potential, and Che was good in The Money Kept Rolling In-- but what was the director thinking?

EDIT: Jazzy, I actually really like Eva's vocals in the video that you posted up... up until the end.
