"Psychotic" is really the best way to describe that portrayal of the Engineer. That or "manic."

And holy modified vowels, Batman!

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

^I get it. You want your helicopters to sing baritone and have hair on their chest.

"He's over 21 now, just not when it was filmed."

Yeah, I don't think that logic works.

"Well, your honor, I know she was only 15 when I took those pictures that you found me with, but she's over 21 now, so it's ok."

Middle schools should not attempt Evita.

You know how Legally Blonde should be defined by energy (to cover up its flaws). This school didn't get the memo. The cast doesn't even try to hide their boredom.

Oh, God! The middle school Evita is brilliant! Who thought that was a good idea. I mean, c'mon! I can't wait for pre-school Follies.

Here are all his videos

Theatre is my life. No one can take that away from me.

Awww...the Legally Bored link is broken. Would have liked to have seen it. How could you possibly be bored performing LB?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Back in September, RIPLEY retweeted support for a high school production of Next to Normal in the greater New York area. Would love to see how this shakes down.

My son went to Stagedoor Manor for four years. If your parents have money you can go; it doesn't matter if you have talent or not. The shows I've seen have ranged from fantastic to pretty awful each session. Having seen four to five shows each parents' weekend it seems they group the kids by talent, but any given session they have to work with the kids who are there--and if they want to be in a drama or musical--you can't not cast someone just because they aren't talented. I've seen shows with fantastic leads and horrible ensemble members--or just one or two kids who can't act/sing/dance. Some shows have been better than Broadway versions I've seen--others I left after intermission...I will say the Mikado I saw there was more entertaining then the one I saw in NYC. Yes, NYC was technically better, but we had way more fun watching it at Stagedoor.

Also--those shows are put together in less then three weeks. Cut them some slack.

At Stagedoor they also group the shows by age--they might do Once on this Island with a young group, a slightly older group for another show and their seniors for the older teen show. The legally blonde show seemed to be intermediate to me. They do have kids cross the age barrier, like in Les Mis and adding in an older teen to play a God in Once on this Island, but in general they group the kids by age.

Quiche2, awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, you're sooo mean! LOL.

Maybe I'm just a softy when it comes to kids, but that kid is a baby! And at a stage where encouragement would reap far more rewards than regrets. I mean, mixed with his wild enthusiasm and confidence, that is.

I wouldn't say he's TERRIBLE. And as soft as I am with these things, I'd have no problem saying if he was actually really awful. I wouldn't tell him that, though, and would say it while being sensitive to his feelings if I had to (meaning, not saying "you're awful!" but rather, "keep up the good work!").

Not scolding or anything. Or suggesting you're cruel. I have laughed, giggled, and recoiled in horror at student productions and many a YouTube rendition before.

But it's a whole other thing with kids that young. I don't claim to be GREAT, but I know I can sing well, and my little heart would have shattered to a million pieces had someone told me I was terrible back when I was learning and growing.

I work with the little devils all day, so maybe I'm biased, lol.

Can I just revive this thread because it's my all time favourite one on this site?
Please, send me more videos.
I'll post my own school's bad Anything Goes next month.

Wow. Like all the greats, that "One Day More" feels as fresh and alive as it did when it first showed up. The classics really are timeless!
