Once On This Island - 01 - Prologue We Dance

[ErikaGOfficial4]

@Panda000People

Wow thats great news! Good job ;) I absolutely LOVE the storytellers in our production! The only thing I dont like about our school is that we dont have understudys so if something goes wrong, we probably have to postpone the play or get someone else quick :/ One of our leads already quit and most of our cast quit :P but were pushing through. And about the height thing, thats hilarious.

[elmoshottie]

I'm doing this play at my school. My friend wants to be Ti Moune and she said I should be Andrea lol. :)

[YiaNyan9]

I'm Ti Moune in my play~

YAY.

[xanfus]

[KittyyKattyy]

we have four ppl for each god, and they each have a hat they switch across the stage every few scenes its really cool

[minai21]

Id like to thank my high school chorus teacher for introducing me to this wonderful story.

[kristenmck16]

[ErikaGOfficial4]

@Panda000People

Well good luck ;) I really want to be Ti Moune also but I'm good if I get something else. My schools audition is next week, I'm really nervous but hey, whatever happens happens. Tell me when you find out, hope your get the role :) and don't worry about everyone else, try your best. I know this is weird talking like this to a total stranger but I'm in the same position xD so yeah...Directors can tell who really wants it, trust me.

[Panda000People]

@ErikaGOfficial4 Thanks! I ended up being a storyteller and the understudy for Little Ti Moune! There's this one kid understudying for Tonton and it's hilarious! Mama's like 6 feet tall, Ti Moune's about 5 feet tall, and Tonton around 4'2! Hahaha...

[AlcraineProductions]

I'm in this for my school :D

[Panda000People]

@AlcraineProductions Me too! I have a small chance to be Ti Moune! YAY! But all the girls have to audition for Ti Moune...sux.

[jubilicious65]

[KSeigY]

Fun memories, working on his in HS. Was Tonton, almost got to be Daniel at the same time. I couldve pulled it off. XD

[treehillrox]

[Hammysma]

0:31 For those who want to get to the music!

[crazygirl8676]

this version skipped acouple lines, and a verse

[tayfierce13]

My school did the play better than other school's

[fr3shjr]

There's no accent... what's up with that??

[RockOn29JPASDSSMR]

@fr3shjr It's the junior version, less "complicated"

[mysynthesis]

Just to clear up a few misconceptions, this is a studio recording, not a live production. Most likely, the vocalists heard here never actually performed the show.

[Twihard546]

My school is actually doing this tonight WISH US LUCK!!

[ActorFlautista]

I love this version so much! You can clearly distinguish the male and alto parts!

[bprocks1245]

My high school just preformed this a few weeks ago and i absoultly loved it especially my classmates who stared in it did really well

[IamNisey]

i remembered my school did this play...they was beast...shout out to Tri-Cities High School

[FunnyZebraGuy]

Lol we are doing this at school and I'm so pissed because I have done 3 plays before for school and I got my best friend to do this one with me and then he got Daniel and I got daniels father lol he is already like way better at everything than me so like way to add insult to injury directer people

Monty Tech made this my sister Giovanna Aruntes Barlow did spot light crew haha!

[rylan1225]

i personally feel that this group is standing on risers singing this , the crucial element of energy is no there. it just seems a little flattened out.

[JRRSattheY]

love it!

[OrlaG08]

Amazing Song :P NOT haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaa im weak ! - From Orla & Amy :D

[Bluestar6264]

[Bluestar6264]

[UberxKaname]

After hearing this version of the song I was severely disappointed. It's such a fun song but the performance is lacking =\

[Bluestar6264]

@uberxkaname wat do u mean?

[bremantha]

@Bluestar6264 they mean that this version does ZERO justice for the song. this IS and amazing play/song, and this cast has no energy whatsoever. they kindof sound like a middle school.

go tuacahn(:

[Bluestar6264]

@bremantha this version is awesome not bad

[UberxKaname]

I just don't think it's that good.

[Bluestar6264]

love this music.

[SerafinaLily9]

I liked it a lot until the harmony around 1:11...

[einmomolein]

For some reason I find this Daniel's speaking voice gross, maybe it's tone

DANIEL

...

"Polish up the Mercedes!"

[KayKay12287]

lol hehe yea

[dancelovex3]

can anyone tell me what this musical is about?

we are doing it for school this spring so i want to know the details before trying out

[whataboutmemzies]

it's the story of a peasant girl, Ti Moune. She falls for a rich man named Daniel. The gods send her on a journey to see if love or death is stronger. Ti Moune gives up her soul to the god of death to save Daniel. Daniel and Ti Moune are in love but Daniel must marry Andrea. Ti Moune is given the chance for her old life but she has to kill Daniel. She doesn't kill Daniel. She's kicked out by Daniel. She dies. The gods bless her in to a tree because she proves love is stronger than death. WIKI IT

[einmomolein]
