brandontwin2: Maybe it was unfair casting, but was it the girl's fault?

I guessing that the undeserving girl was probably a bitch about it, as well. If not, then that's just dead cruel.
ok but to change the mood here is a good one

hah blaxx yours is amazing
Ski this is for BAD productions specifically.
This thread is great! Keep these bad high school videos coming!
I just watched the vid of that awful Marius singing Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. Words cannot describe how garishly awful it is.
Somewhere there's a video of high school production of Gypsy where the cast isn't that bad, but the student orchestra truly butchers the score. I'll try and find it.
EDIT: Found it. Here's "Rose's Turn". The girl playing Rose isn't bad, but the orchestra backing her up is. Especially the trumpets.
If your high school attempts to do Gypsy, please make sure you have musicians capable of playing the score

SporkGoddess: It was not her fault but the fact that she was very bitchy was her fault.

In response to that God Awful Les Mis "One Day More",
here is that same production, this time it is "At the End of the Day"
This made my ears bleed! They do the same choreography over and over. Especially listen to 1:00. It sounds horrendous!!! Horrible "Harmonies".

This thread is amazing...it's good to know other enjoy bad high school shows as much as I do.
This is "To Life" from Fiddler-it hits its high note (literally) at around :38 seconds, but if you stick with it to the Russian soloist, you are in for a delightful surprise

Also, I'm not sure if this has been posted, but our very favorite high school Les Mis's version of "Stars" is also brilliant:

brandontwin2: I'm still not sure that justified sabotaging her performance. She wasn't THAT bad of a singer.
Wow. That was hor-rendous.
It wasn't my idea and it was the last show so quite a few pranks were going on.
Ahahahhaa @ the Lumiere costume!
Hahaha, this thread made my day. I posted a link to that Blacklick Valley production of Les Mis on the Les Miserables forum that I belong to, and it caused quite a stir. I always though David Bryant was a pretty bad Marius, but those videos certainly helped put that in perspective. In closing, "DON'T THEY KNOW THEY'RE TAKING GLOVES FROM ONE ALREADY DEAD."
The YouTube comments are hilarious too!
"If that Marius hopped over my garden gate, I'd call the cops. WTF!"
"This marius sounds like a person doing a parody of someone doing a terrible gay marius"

I made the mistake of accidentally searching "high school musical"...
Never again.
I feel terribly sorry for the audience at that putrid Les Mis. Omg. I bet they left scarred, sickened, and traumatized!

It's all so lovely.
Honestly, I have watched that miserable 'One Day More' whenever i'm in a bad mood, and it never fails me. That definitely wins.

I love that the foreman is played by a woman. Bwahahaha.
Didn't this school have ONE good singer? Minus the potential of Eponine and Cosette?
Uhhh, Cosette had the potential to never be on a stage again!
