The reason part of this looks like the movie is because they are doing an actual dance, the virginia reel. It says in the script that the dancers are supposed to perform that dance at points in this song.
Actually, the choreographer for the movie was the original choreographer for the 1957 Broadway show as well so I'm thinking that the dance in the movie IS the real thing. Especially since the Shipoopi didn't exist before the show anyway.
The guys dance section was very well done...guys in high school productions tend to half-ass it, but this one, all of them seem to be in the moment. Great job everyone!
wow the colors of the lighting was really different. thanks for the inspiration i would also sugest u change the lights around a little . the dancing is really cool though!!
I was Marian and FREAKED out during this song. Our dance was REALLY fast and I had to be lifted at the end and I hate being lifted. But the guy who played Harold broke my shoe in dance lessons! I did NOT want to dance with him again.
omfg! xD I play Marcellus in The Music Man. I was so happy and shocked at the same time! The cool thing is is that I'm a girl! But the cast told me I can sound like a dude. Didn't know what to say to that... Oh well! I get to sing Shippoopi. xD
Ehhh, I'm in a production of The Music Man, and we're not doing the steps from the movie. Our choreographer, Rick, came up with some better stuff, in my opinion.
Some are from the movie, some are from the stage version, and some are original. I'm sure your local guy, rick, is far better than the professionals who choreograph for broadway and hollywood.
in this song we did the trio it was fun and a little dance with a horn this is my favorite we pick two songs from shipopi and wells fargo wagon for anotheer play a grl polayed withdropt she sings good
Well actually, ALL of you folks did a great job, but I was specifically talking about the *dance* parts that the boys were doing by themselves. I used to teach musical theater in a public high school and I would have LOVED to have had guys that could dance half as good as you all did! Terrific choreography, too! An all-around great job! Nice work!
We spent FOREVER on Shipoopi. I wasn't one of the dancers in it, but they had extra practices all over the place. I swear, before we opened, we would run the play, do Shipoopi about twenty times, then run the rest. We spent a lot of time on the other dance scenes too, but Shipoopi is the biggest, so we put most of our effort into it.
Lucky! There were way too many people for me to have a chance at being Marian. I think almost 200 kids tried out, around 170 made it, then a ton of people quit and we ended up with 80-90.
Thumbs up if you got here from family guy

Very good job by the Marcellus. Though silly, this song is extremely hard to sing well because it is so high. Very well done.

I hate when people try to the exact same dance from the movie.... it's not the real thing it's just what was in the movie

We spent FOREVER on Shipoopi. I wasn't one of the dancers in it, but they had extra practices all over the place. I swear, before we opened, we would run the play, do Shipoopi about twenty times, then run the rest. We spent a lot of time on the other dance scenes too, but Shipoopi is the biggest, so we put most of our effort into it.
