[LGBTArtsYouth]

[13silverspirit]

[ety96]

0 dislikes :)

[janelovesdrama]

Wow, my best friend, Craig, and I drove thre hours a few years back to audition for this show... We didn't get in, but we LOVE it just the same. Just goes to show that little kids from The-Middle-Of-Nowhere, Ohio really can't make it on Broadway. :)

[MoonShoesPotter28]

i LOVE that he did this. 13 is one of my favorite musicals (i was just in it) and i'm SO glad an adult is really understanding it.

[xkstarrx95]

so true, especially Allie comment

[Solsen581]

Love it! Finally some respect for 13!

[RentandWicked]

lol your tears at the end and i love the last song

[Hereiam75]

You cannot be more fun to watch. Love you!

[karenpog]

thank you, thank you, thank you. I saw this show right before it closed and loved it.

[JollyMe08]

Ahh, I grew up watching old MGM musicals, so I totes love the old-school, Gene Kelly-esque riff!!

[leadoff123]

I saw this twice on Broadway and I can't get over the energy and talent on that stage! It was a crime that Rock of Ages and Shrek(are you kidding me?) was nominated for things over 13. GREAT REVIEW!!!

[paaaiiigeeex3]

I LOVE YOU SETH,. (AND 13).

[thearter12]

you forgot Allie Trimm in your description box!! hope you fix it. :)

[nxt2normal]

I get goosebumps every time I hear Allie Trimm sing "What It Means To Be A Friend" so amazing.

[musicaldramarama]

Excellent. I love that you, to, found the irony in Aaron Simon's Jew-comment.

Your facial expressions and vabratto hand always excite me! :)

[theatreandfriends]

I am SO glad that you feel this way about 13! I'm totally in love with this show, and it makes me so sad that people just dismiss it.

Why does no one ever talk about If That's What It Is? That's my fave song.

[ubettergetit]

I was able to see 13 in Los Angeles years ago because a student of mine had auditioned for it. GREAT SHOW!!

[slavicpolymath]

I adore that it's the Andréa Burns "It's true!" from the opening of In the Heights. ("She screams 'Who's in there with you Julio?'")

[aldushine15]

Ariana's and Eamon's notes are amazing!! Mention that:D

[actordude9393]

Seth, you need to mention Eamon Foley's amazing High E or whatever the note is in Bad Bad News in your next video...please haha

[patebrisee]

zomg.  Allie Trimm. Aaah.

[psychosoprano]

LOVE this. :)

[ausfantony]

Was never interested in 13 before, but now I'm keen to hear more. Thanks Seth :)

[MakeMusic4Life]

its crizazy!!

[ActingDude17]

Finally, an accomplished person in the biz who takes 13 seriously. It really deserves more credit than it gets and you brought up some of the reasons why. Great job once again, Seth.

[tellmewhatsahappenin]

thank you for appreciating this album! a lot of people don't like it, but i think the music's great.

[hazlweatherfield]

this was a perfect video and i totally agree with everything- the one thing you overlooked would be eamon foley's amazing high F in "Bad Bad News"! i cant believe you didnt mention it! but otherwise amazing as always!!! :)

[LGBTArtsYouth]

@hazlweatherfield eamon's voice is amazing. and you should SEE him tap. it's basically all he does at camp.

[hsnights]

Seth...you are the vocal commentator Bway has been waititng for...can you come to concerts when we are singing live!!!

[NoDoubt444]

@hsnights Watch as she approaches the big E-flat...she's riffing...she breathes...SHE'S GOT IT! And now she adds vibrato! Delicious!

[payette]

this is the most music I've heard from 13 ... haven't heard anything of this show, unlike other JRB shows

[CookieFace2010]

I'm so happy you're back!!!

[BwayBaby1980]

13 was so good! I is just a shame that it didnt get showcased. (Btdubs... you should totally to Putnam County Spelling Bee, Sunday In the Park With George, or Company OBC and Revival :D)

ILOVESETH!

[MinervasGarden]

Well done, Seth! I will have to find this CD.

[ItsKahlaYo]

"It's CRA-ZAY-ZEE!" lmao!

[Cypresswhisker2]

OH my god, Hey Kendra is absolutely my favorite song from that show. lol

[showersinger34]

You always make my day, but this is the all time best. i'm OBSESSED with this show!

i'm also obsessed with you lipsyncing this show. it's HILARIOUS

[tumbles022]

you should do ariana grande --- she is phenominal.

[moretosee129]

I TOTES agree about best score!!! ugh what a travesty.

[crazypoundpupp]

YAY! I'm so excited for the 31 in 31 days, it'll give me a bright spot to look forward to each day in the next two weeks of hell called finals, YAY :-D

[hewasneverminetolose]

thank you for clearing up 13!

I hate when people scoff and joke about it being such a lame musical. It's got some amazing songs!!!

[BlueJeanBaby012]

Some of those girls are like, 15, but sound 20-something.

[KatieGrrl1016]

Wow, I've always heard bad things about 13, but you've changed my mind, at least about the score. I love your deconstructions; they make me love being a musical theatre nerd and hate that I live in California instead of New York.

[Mattbrain]

Seth, you wanna talk about overlooked? Allie Trimm was ROBBED of a Tony nod for Best Featured Actress in a Musical!
