[erinlovesheadbands]

so much talent in one room!

[Devvrrrs88]

i h8 that dumb a-symmetrical bob. get a normal hair cut.

[girthman1029]

this is honestly the tightest i've ever heard this song. i miss these girls.

[RachelOStewart]

omg amazing

[singinismylyf]

please please please tell me these are the same people coming back this year?!!!!

[eightyeightsugarrush]

@singinismylyf nope, sorry. it's a completely new tour.

[jazzaces294]

That last chord was SICK

[eightyeightsugarrush]

does anyone else think christy sounds like elmo at the end..?haha these girls are so fierce

[xojoannaax3]

FIERCE.

[popertop]

who's the hottie in the white dress?

like woah

[jdstanning]

I was lucky enough to be on the stage with these ladies...AMAZING. I mean fucking amazing. (sorry to F-bomb, but it was!!)

[curleegirl68]

Good to see you girls on Youtube, I saw the show in Miami and it was awesome....

[tomatosoup098]

This is like, the most adorable thing ever.

They're all SO talented.

[boredom847]

real talent is those who can sing amazingly without any interference for electronical devices. you guys gott it! that was awesome

[TheTeeShirtShow]

Christy Altomare is very adorable at the end! She seems very sweet :)

[cookie1385]

just for the record i saw the show in Cincinnati...and you have no idea how i wish i was them.

i loved it.

also that was greatly funny.

[preciousXoXo123]

they look lyk crazy ppol..no offense its greaT thou.

[hellogossip]

that was PERFECT!! :) good job

[KaraMichelKirby]

These girls are so awesome

[TANMUSIC11]

does anyone know at :45 is that a diminished chord or is someone under pitch, i cant figure it out...

[angelxschunard]

I didn't hear anything. If it's either, I'd say diminished.

[gogo245]

WOW!!! lololololol I cant wait to see u GUYS OMG!

[perryfan143]

??????

[Aoiifenessence]

wow

[swimnegget]

Dude I got chills!!

[perryfan143]

Is the top harmony supposed to be sung in the head voice if you can't belt it?

[sarahsandiego2]

awsome!

[Oxfamtrance]

wow... i saw them in London and they were amazing but i cant tell if its ALL the same cast... but er....why was she doing push ups???

[sweetvoyce94]

its not the same cast..this is the broadway touring cast. what you saw was the london cast

[zozabean101]

showing off prbly

[dreaming92]

it wasn't any of the same cast.

[IttyBittyBrittany2]

I think it's just for endurance. Singing while exercising helps with singing and dancing.

[operalindley]

it's a good way to loosen up the body and get it involved so you aren't singing with the throat (which is bad) but with the whole body

[daragh04]

at 0:07 i think someone says ""cad is anaim ditch: are they irish??

[sweetreat2]

Im so sad that i never got too see this they should have mad e a DVD like they did with Rents final show

[jGjLove32]

"So how do you really feel about Mama?"

xD

[IWillBeHers]

Is it just me, or does Steffi sound REALLY good in this?

And aww, Claire, I miss Claire! Kimiko was out for quite a few performances in March/April, so Krystina, Claire, and Julie rotated...I saw Claire as Thea in Providence and she rocked it.

[ladiesman3525]

That cast was the best!!!

[austenlovingactress]

what the heck why does Christy Altomare switch sides of the circle between 0:17 and 0:20? That confused me so much!

[IndiJackal]

She goes to stand next to Julie Benko (Girl with black hair, pink shirt and jean jacket). Julie is one of the swings for Wendla in case Christy is sick or off for a show. So it only makes sense for two girls that are practicing the same vocal part should be next to each other in the circle so the balance of sound wont be off. Hope that helps! :)

[myjunk636lavieboheme]

anyone else notice how Claire reads her magazine instead of warming up even though she obviously went on that night since she is in her ensemble costume while Julie is not but Julie still warmed up...lol I love Claire! I miss her! :(

[kylerp9]

I don't think she is warming up because the swings don't sing in Mama Reprise. I don't know why the other ones are.

And I miss Claire too!

[myjunk636lavieboheme]

yeah i know the swings don't sing MWBM but as a person who does musicals, i know that you have to warm up as much as possible which is why Julie and Krystina like to warm up with MWBM most likely which is why I find it odd that she wasn't warming up when she was going on...even if she doesn't sing the song, it still helps her voice...belly mamba doesn't do it completely as enjoyable as it is. She's adorable though! I miss her but Krista is the perfect replacement for her They're very similar! :)

[kylerp9]

Yea. I totally get what your saying. Cause I am a person who does musicals too. Hmm. This is an on going question.

But I am happy Claire is coming back. but I don't get to see her. I didn't even get to see her in Louisville. but Krista was Great!!

[myjunk636lavieboheme]

yeah...it is a very interesting question...I'm glad Claire was able to come back as well but I love Kimiko. I saw Claire rock the chair in St. Louis and she did rock it! But I sat next to Krista in Louisville and she was such a sweetheart and was so excited to be a part of this cast. I wish I could've seen both of them go on instead of just seeing them both in the chairs. :(

[OOHMYYGOD]

they are soo amazing

[kite333]

I love Steffi D's push ups! somehow that needs to be incorperated in the show.

[loonysweetheart400]

sarah is freakin amazing

[jStrat7]

i like their version better than the OBC.

:]

i've watched this video like ten times...

and you girls officially kick a**.

[Puppster76]

AMAZING<3

[singerpenguins]

the London cast all had to grow their eyebrows, did they not have to on this one?

[cannibalcake2]

WTF? Why would they have to do that?

[princessblondie93]

they didn't have to grow their eyebrows as such but they weren't allowed to tidy them by plucking or waxing. i suppose it's to be relative to the time period of the show. they also weren't allowed to use sunbeds or fake tan lol

[jStrat7]

wendla, you were AMAZING!

[xhatsx]

which one is that?

[jStrat7]

the girl in the little white dress. :]

her real name is christy altomare.

[broadwaybaby61792]

I saw them in boston twice! Mama reprise was fab!

[CuteJewishGirl03]

Woahhhhh! I did too. Are you following me???

[QuileuteWolf]

Saw you guys in Boston last weekend and you were fantastic. Coming back tomorrow!

[LinBH]

i watched it last night!! you girls were AWESOME!! thnx for the wonderfullll show!

[jimmers205]

EPIC

[ellhorn]

Reposted:

OMG I love the counter melody at 1:14 when the girls sing "Mama! MAMA!" I think Sarah and Gabby sing it.

[ellhorn]

I just found out I'm going to audition for a community production of this. I don't have too much hope in the quality of a community production, but it is L.A....I keep getting told to actually audition for the touring cast. Maybe one day I'll get the courage.

I think I'm going to sing Run Away With Me from The Unauthorized Biography of Samantha Brown.

Youtube Michael Arden singing it.

[Consequence]

Agreement100%

There are certain parts where the song completely arrests you and that's one of them.

[stiine04]

omg i saw this last night they were amazing!

[critepher89]

Why is that girl dancing like a sims character?

[crissa0512]

beautiful!

And the chick doing the push ups is amazing.

[stepheclaire]

Haha, Ilse is bad ass!

[betseygirl06]

Haha Steffi D. The pushups are hilarious!

[bwayfan418]

Steffi D is such a badass. These girls are amazing! Haha I love how Krystina just shows up at the end!

[jumpinprep]

I love how this song can be sung beautifully without an accompaniment.

HURRY UP AND GET TO BALTIMORE!

[sophieeee19]

GAH I KNOW!

THEY NEED TO HURRY UP!

[Bunnyslippers48]

Omigod, agreed! Come to B'more already!! Haha we have to wait til June lol.

[Consequence]

HEY let us enjoy our time in Toronto!! x)

[sophieeee19]

grrrrr.

[irishwhitie444]

hahahaha! the push ups kill me! love them! i saw them last summer in san diego. they were of course incredible! :)

[berryele1234]

I just saw them last night, awesome

[NEHOMAS]

"Close was bad" - my god, if that's what they call bad! The close was beautiful, and these girls have such awesome control over this number. Bring on more acapella SA!

[JoeTCG]

I'm pretty sure they said "Glows was bad".

the line:

"And hope that it glows!"

Which they did kinda, and hearing that they all kinda backed off on it.

[blahq123]

awesome... sounds so good live! and backstage lol

[jennich07]

awesome!! love the push-ups. haha. definitely adds to it!

[iloveelmox2]

you are coming to TORONTO!!! Can't wait - we love you

[suicidalmickeym0use]

cramazing!

[yakoleen]

So good.

[ErickFOOL]

They are perfectly balanced its amazing!!!

[dsteifel]

lol, Christy at the end! lol

[lalalasing2me]

I saw you guys in LA right before Thanksgiving!!! ahhhhhh sooooo flipping good!!!! better than the original broadway cast

[violingal1985]

i love how steffie d is doing push ups while singing, lol!

[BennySings]

Um...This is like an aural orgasm

[gurgle3]

I went to the matinee of SA in Tempe, AZ today. It was amazing! The cast was awesome. I hope to see the show again in the future. Good job!

[NOLabels]

That ENDING is just .. PERFECT.

[ckn5]

Christy LOL

[NOLabels]

I meant vocally, but .. okay?

[LegallyBlondeWicked1]

I think NOLabels meant the end of the song and ckn5 meant at the VERY end where Christy makes that weird face

[Jaybird386]

whoever's doing pushups at the beginning (playing ilse)

is awesome

[SpringAwakening008]

Steffi D.

[CardcaptorHaku]

I believe it's Martha, Anna, and Thea on the "Mama, Mama... who gave me" bit, but Anna's the only one who holds "Cry". The other girls sing "And some just lie there crying for him to come and find them" but Anna sings "Cry... for him to come and find them" so I guess that could be called a solo.

[Konstantine03]

yeah, then Wendla does the "some pray that one day" harmony, and Martha does the "Mama" harmony @ 1:17, then Ilse does here whole other thing lol

[irenek518]

hey tour cast!

great song. i really love it.

my friends and i are trying to figure out the harmonies, but could only get some of them.

could your next video be a breakdown of each character's part for the reprise?

you girls rock! (and guys too..but they're not in this song) :P

[cannibalcake2]

If you pay attention to who's singing, the parts that you listed (excluding Steffi's solo), aren't solos. The song splits into two parts, one part doing the "ahhh"s and the other doing the words. If you'll notice, where you said Anna has the solo for the candle part, the camera is actually on Steffi, and she is singing that part as well. Steffi is the only one who actually has an individual part, the others that you listed had at least two people singing them.

[cannibalcake2]

So wait, there are three solos in MWBM? Cause you said "Sarah" at first. I was under the impression that there was only one solo, and Steffi sings it.

[NEHOMAS]

I cant say it enough, but acapella Mama Reprise - it's the only way to go.

Just bloody brilliant. And addictive.

[cannibalcake2]

Steffi D. is the one with the solo...

[thatgirlray]

Steffi D is fierce.

[fioremortale]

HAHAH you guys are awesome and hilarious! xD

[shannondennehy]

Ah-a! Steffi D doing the pushups while singing is HI-larious.

So when my friends and I went and saw this a few days ago right away during MWBM we noticed Ilse being awesome in the background, and we were like, "Man, who IS that? She's great!" And she turned out to be even greater. We were pleased.

[midnightsun1000]

woo you rock

[xlaurenp]

AHHH

JULIE

[redbutterflytree]

I love Steffi's pushups. Intense.

[rycliffmc]

this seems like such a fun musical to be in!

[aly3s0n5]

seeing this live was the best thing in the world!

[lilmisblonde258]

i love the girl who plays isle. she is so quirky and i can see isle in her, if that makes since

[applefire4]

I saw this in San Diego, and one of my friends was in the "guilty ones" street team and she saw it three times, it was so incredible.

[immaninjaturtle]

Not gonna lie...I've watched this video about 20 times. I love it! So much talent. I saw you on Saturday, September 27th. You all were amazing!

[immaninjaturtle]

make it 21.

[dollashoess]

i could watch this over and over again.

i love this song.

[NEHOMAS]

I've always thought that this number utterly rocks to it's fullest extent when done acapella - and this proves it! Great job girls!

[igocrazy4maroon5]

i love this cast!

[KarateChess23]

Is it just me, or was Steffi doing the push-ups on her knees?

You girls sound great!

[dreaming92]

that's how girls are meant to do them, otherwise your boobs get smaller.

no lie.

[NoOtherRoad]

Is it sad that I just tried to sing this while doing push-ups?

[rorygilmo5]

These videos are so cool. The tour cast is amazing.

[sexiifyh]

fierce.

[snowwhite2189]

holy cow does anyone else think that Komiko is the most adorable thing ever?

[dfajkldflak]

I've seen this play four times and haven't tired of it yet. Keep up the good work!

[barbdignan]

What a blast to see them sing without orchestra, without audience...just raw talent!!!

[squirttx0]

i watch this literally once a day. you are all amazing and i can't wait to see you perform!!!!

[TotallyTrucked]

Thanks so much to everyone - the comments and support are overwhelmingly awesome and inspirational. We can't do it without you guys.

[rentfan14]

Haha Steffi is beasting those pushups.

My guess is because they help with breath support or strength or maybe endurance with the high belting?

[shakejello16]

umm im still confused why steffi is doing push ups? THEYRE STILL AWESOME!

[louisawhat]

ahahhaha why on earth is steffi doing pushups?

also I LOVE how you can hear martha and thea's harmonies in this video. :)

[cr8zync0nfus3d]

omgashhh.... you guys are awsome.. i saw you guys on saturday (sept 6) and i sat in the stage audience and when it started and when everyone came in to sing at the begining.. i got goose bumps and the bumps never went away.. the show exceeded my expectations.. I LOVE YOU GUYS! thats why im commming back next week... hahaha

[singingpineapple]

That was beautiful! I am soooooo glad that I got to see you guys perform twice in San Diego!!!

[BrOaDwAy3030]

So excited to see this video! Im going to end up listening to this every single day! Love it love it!

[iloveryouuuu]

haha steffi

this is one of the best mwbmr i've ever heard.

you're all beautiful

[sensiblemaniac]

I love these videos because they allow me to get to know the tour cast before I see them. It's pretty sweet since I won't be able to see them until they're up in Boston. <3

[lizzy911]

It really doesn't get any better than that. So.amazing. :)

[nbsdude91]

crazy amazing! you guys are 1000x better than the current broadway production, excluding a few of the current broadway cast members who are amazing as well(i.e. hunter parrish, gerard canonico, and amanda castanos)

[behyphy]

steffi's pushups! XD

[llamasloveoprah]

Freaking Shane!

[squirttx0]

the was beautiful

[fuzzyslippersx23]

Wow. I really can't WAIT to see you guys.

[sketch093]

Oh, and Christy Altomare is GORGEOUS.

[sketch093]

SO FIERCE.

[Broadway241]

Ugh,my mom won't let me see you guys.

I want to see it sooo bad.

But pretty darn mature if you ask me.

hahaha:)

Still,i want to see it:)

[monorailblue]

What town are y'all in for this video?

[monorailblue]

nm i just saw "san diego" lol

[TotallyTrucked]

San Diego at the Balboa Theatre!

[NOLabels]

This was so fucking fierce, incredible, amazing. Everything.

So much, that I WISH that I was closer to a tour stop (I live about 30-45 miles away from the Broadway Production).

[NOLabels]

*minutes

[azncutie329]

FIERCE!

[Love889]

This was the best sounding MWBMR I've heard!! Ah I can't wait to see you live! 41 DAYS!

[indiana102]

AWESOME!!! I LOVE this song so much. and I really love this whole cast, they're awesome and they sound amazing!!! but why is Steffi doing pushups in the beginning? hahaha :D

[MrsAngelaPascal]

You girls are awesome singers! I can't wait until I can hear everyone live.

[0loveisthemovement0]

I got to see your show in San Diego and I was blown away! I want to go back! You are all so talented and such an inspiration to me in theater.
