I don't know if these have been posted or not, but oh well.

A very frightening Out Tonight. The vocals are really not that good, and the costume is EXTREMELY stripper, as is the choreo. Look at their other RENT videos, too, they're pretty funny.

The same people also put on Hair.. with an all female cast. I kid you not. Key changes are wild in these songs.

and there are a few more.

Apparently there was only one season of love in their version...(regarding the title of the video of their version)

What the hell kind of kiss was that at the end of Out Tonight?

I actually saw a high school do a pretty fantastic version of cabaret last year.

Yep, this is a high school.

wow that all girl Hair was horrific. Way to ruin one of my favorite musicals for me *cringes*

goes and puts on the revival cast recording to rid my mind of that atrocity.

Wow, that Mimi is super skinny.

This isn't awful (in fact, many of the kids are quite good), but WTF is on Javert's head in the prologue? A magnified bindi?

OMG Skanky cop women dancing in the Cop Song in Urinetown!

And the Lockstock is bad. So is the choreography.

And Fantine looks like she just woke up after a heavy night of drinking.

Oh god. Fantine's wig is plain awful. Pretty voice, horrible costume/wig.

Not only does that Urinetown video not belong here, as it is not "bad" (I think it's clever!), but it is obviously not a highschool production...

[onedaymore]

Posted: 7/5/09 at 7:35pm

I agree with you, however, my high school did it and Bradford is known for having extraordinary talent. Our Bobby Strong was probably the best you could get to play that role out of a high school. Had the voice to do it too.

By the way, that One Day More video, at the end, sounds like people singing a drunken shanty

Here's a video that's five seconds long of South Pacific. No high school should EVER do South Pacific.

Emile should have a big,operatic baritone, let alone talent itself.

But THIS South Pacific is EVEN WORSE!

Outside of that and Fantine's wig, the costumes are actually kind of decent.
Although I'm willing to bet the kid wearing the shiny purple vest is Prouvaire.

hahaha this is my productionof Rent! I was Mark. and yes, it was quite awful...... it was an outside program, this girl playing mimi was 18, i think she turned 19 right after the show

In regars to the Hair clip. What is up with the feather in the handband? In addition to it being painful to listen to, I can't make out most of the words the singer sings in the song.

i love this thread, so i figured id bump it. here's a production of guys and dolls, in what should be the showstopping scene, sit down your rockin the boat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Kxd83_GR0#movie_player

the song starts at 4:18

I'll see your "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" and raise you an "Adelaide's Lament":

Those Guys and Dolls videos remind me of the last day of school this year. Everyone else was talking, so my music teacher popped in a school play from about ten years ago and sat next to me. She kept whispering to me about Adelaide "You're so much better. Thank God! She was so pitchy but she was all we had. I heard she's a music teacher now. Let's hope she's better". But I won't post without a contribution.

A good one (Honk!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB7dxKC4veA
And a stinker (Legally Blonde): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvlzwiFxklI&feature=related

The Elle in the Legally Blonde one wasn't awful, but the rest... well, at least it was just for fun.

Not sure if this counts, but here's a pretty good one - I guess I'm biased because I went to camp here =) - of Hair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhd3lPkDZeI&feature=related
