[glitteraddict44]

ITS PIPING HOT >;3

[YoYoYo826]

i love when you just go "OLE!" it's so funny.

[janics23]

You remind me of Roger Bart, and I don't know why

[AnnieePann]

Can someone PLEASE tell me where 0:13 is from???

[jamieamundell]

... I feel like I need a 12 step program for musicals ... I knew every song .. help

[renagadeluke]

I hate this but love everything about it?

[LeksiTalksALot]

Can somebody possibly name all the songs that he mentions? A lot of them so familiar but of course, he sings so little I can't identify them

[LeksiTalksALot]

I find quite sad how I only know very few of these songs

[AnnieePann]

Why can't I stop watching this?!

[pippozg]

Im trying to do one of these......HOW DO U DO IT

[MarinVillalpando15]

1;09 That damn bastard killed your brother. It is but American life.

Something like that.

[xforeverfadingx]

*gasp* NEXT TO NORMAL?! <3 You ar my favourite.

[supercoolf1fan]

[mrharris222]

[BellaMarieTV]

[TFPTrading]

@BellaMarieTV

[supercoolf1fan]

[cilluzza08]

OMG you are amazing!!! You should be famous in Broadway !!!!

[Ginarrbrik11]

[gramps2matt]

This is the most hilarious video I've seen in a looonnnng time. It really made my day!! Like? LOVE!!!!!! Dude ya got a hit here!!

[Theatreismyhome]

What song is 3:44?



[cmegs21]

2:31 looks like your seriously singing..

[caroou92]

Could you please add a list of ALL the songs/musicals in this? It's AMAZING:

I want to use it as a checklist for those I haven't seen yet :D

[veerlejemima101]

o_ o That's AWESOME...Now teach me how to do that with my eyes ;o

[Broadwaypuppet]

I meant to say counting the whole dialogue as one clip.

[Broadwaypuppet]

I counted, and counting the whole dialogue right before the last "memory", and not including the clip of him waving after the "keep it gay" there were 77 clips plus the credits and the opening, which includes the random clip in the middle of the opening, and I can't name which show 28 of them are from. And yes, I'm aware that I sound like a complete nerd.

[Thnikkafan]

Another question for you: what version of "Seasons of Love" is that? I like it a lot, it's nice and smooth and informal-sounding.

[discordany]

@Thnikkafan It's such a short clip that I'm not 100% sure, but it sounds like the version featuring Stevie Wonder.

[naugie19]

I come here every time I feel sad...and I leave happy....I come here when I'm feeling happy because I can't stop laughing my face off. You're magical haha.

[jennavmusic]

the west side story "a boy like that" part is just perfect.

[MsPinkZebraz]

and what's at 1:19?

[mrharris222]

@MsPinkZebraz Toledo Surprise from The Drowsy Chaperone

[MsPinkZebraz]

curious.. what songs are at 1:10, 1:37, 2:06, 2:21, 2:39, 2:49, and 4:21 and what musicals are they from? I know that's a lot of songs, but I cannot figure them out!!

[mrharris222]

@MsPinkZebraz 1:10 is "A Boy Like That" from the West Side Story revival, 1:37 is "Smile Girls" which was cut from Gypsy, 2:06 is "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" from Hello, Dolly!, 2:21 is "My Strongest Suit" from Aida, 2:39 is "My Friends" from Sweeney Todd, 2:49 is "Morning Person" from Shrek, and 4:21 is "Diva's Lament" from Spamalot :)

[MsPinkZebraz]

@mrharris222 Thank you! :)

[nerdsrule06]

Words cannot explain how much I love this video. I must admit, I was waiting for Avenue Q to pop up somewhere, but this was entirely too epic for me to even really care. Carry on, Sir. :)

[1234electrix]

You should write a list of all the songs you used in this ;)

[gmanirishman1]

This is awesome.

[vanimelea]

This is the best thing I've ever seen. I'm dying in studyhall. Getting looks. Whatever. It's worth it. :)

[shaneisfree]

I found you through "Stumbleupon".  I typed in "musical theatre", and you were the first thing that popped-up! I'm so GLAD, because now I'm a FAN!!!!

[meteorologykid]

I'm sorry but you are hot lol. And this made me pee myself xD

[Maretocks]

I Am a Terrifying and Imposing Figure needed to be in this.

[thedoctordonnaable]

I don't know but after seeing this I want to! We do similiar things on Friday nights! You are awesome!

[FUNCHOMCLALA]

Do your next one in just a speedo!

[mrharris222]

@FUNCHOMCLALA I don't think the world is ready for that.

[spikeschilde621]

MY HERO!

[BellaMia121]

YOU ARE PERFECTION.

[ActingBug28]

[HRMFILMS]

@ActingBug28 :20 suddenly from xanadu 2:51 morning person from shrek

[hannahsuchnsuch]

Literally, I listen to this almost everyday. And every time, I get excited when the "Hymn for a Sunday Afternoon" plays.

[Delmundo2002]

awesomeness! you are fantastic! thanks

[Colakills]

As a Sondheim fanatic, I adore the fact that you have Old Friends and even a song cut out of Gypsy xD

[Andy90010]

Sublime silliness of the drollest sort, but could we have some more Marc Blitzstein...?

[mysweetsmile23]

1:08 I almost died! LOL So true!

[OneShamelessKid]

[ActingBug28]

I love this video as a theatre enthusiast!!!! What is the song at 1:17???

[mrharris222]

@missstephanierizzo No problem :)

[Eubring]

@mrharris222 OK... What is the song at 3:20 right after the "Magic" from Xanadu? It sounds SO familiar and I can't place it!

[mrharris222]

@Eubring That one is from "Mamma Mia"

[Knightm7]

Very nice, especially West Side Story in Spanish and "magic." I'm going to show this to my son tomorrow before we go to Full Monty rehearsal. That's when we'll finish Curtains and start Pippin.

[carmenaggle]

pretty sure i need to marry you or something.

[alan0868]

Awesome!

[naugie19]

I died. Like every second during this. I think you do a better job than half the actors that I have heard/seen. You brought back many memories of shows that I have done, thank you :) I love when you interject dialogue into the music, everything is just perfect.

[SillyMeganAlyson]

What song is it at 2:33? >,< awesome video though! :DD SO GREAT!

[7forgotten7angel7]

[unclelusively]

[MrsDemiLovatogirl]

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! I WATCH IT OVER 700 TIMES A DAY! <3

[Jackersfan11]

I LOVE THIS!!! These are the faces I make when I sing my favorite musicals ;D

[lilybeau]

The Charles Nelson Reilly face from "Hello Dolly!" was a bulls-eye

[mrharris222]

@lilybeau Thank you :)

[MrHumpyhusky]

Just so you know. I found out that my fiancee has been cheating on me for the last few months today. I caught him and the other guy in bed together this morning. I watched this video. And it's the only thing to make me laugh all day. Thank you.

[mrharris222]

@MrHumpyhusky Oh my goodness! I am so sorry! I'm glad my video was able to help you in at least some small way.

[olgap35]

I watch this at least once a day. You, sir, are an inspiration.

[ihaveawebshow]

I've been watching this video so many times

[KyleIsYourFriend]

I've watched this video way too many times. He is my spirit animal.

[mrharris222]

@KyleIsYourFriend My life goal of becoming someone's spirit animal has finally been accomplished. Thank you. Side note- my spirit animal is Carol Channing.

[unclelusively]

@KyleIsYourFriend we both have serious addiction - I personally think this is way better than weed

[Raeraeraenbow]

I think I may love you. >_>

[legofreaktwin]

Un Hombre Asi..............nice

[MazurFamilyMusic]

[LuvWebber]

You just became my favorite person.

[bookwormwen]

[MiddleBunkForever]

[mrharris222]

@MiddleBunkForever I bid you welcome to the land of musical theatre :)

[MiddleBunkForever]

[theassassinnox]

So...you just made my morning. This was fantastic. Thank you!

[muffinman3000]

How do you know so many shows? Do you see a lot of theatre, or what do you follow that keeps you so well informed with the musical genre?

[SlimShaney08]

[SlimShaney08]

One thing: Why no Spring Awakening?

[mizeri4life108]

[IcamaneHatake]

Your facial expressions have made my LIFE xDDD

[Miatochan]

You sir, are finally going viral.

[SnowWhitegrl]

[Serenity2338]

You sooo make me smile :) so much :)

[COMIC110]

[dave14667]

@mrharris222 Hi, this video is amazing. I would love to know the particular song at 0:21 . What musical is it out of?

Thanks

[mrharris222]

@dave14667 Xanadu

[LuvWebber]

@mrharris222 You forgot The Lion King!

[mrharris222]

@LuvWebber 4:11

[LuvWebber]

@mrharris222 No i meant he forgot to list it when he was telling someone all the musicals that were included in the video

[WhatTheHellNatalie]

@mrharris222 Also Sweeney Todd!

[HaunaMyKiki]

@mrharris222 And [title of show]! =DDDD

[nailedwit]

Thanks for your reply. I would suggest (as we theatrical actors do sometimes) watching yourself in a mirror.

Try an eyebrow raise. Or both. One closed eye. Tongue touching tip of nose.

There is a lot of work. But if you can dedicate the time it might catapult you in a higher level of entertainment.

Also, change the background. Make it more professional. All that clutter is a distraction. Try fiddling with different ideas.

[c17rox]

You have the most amazing facial expressions I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing the laughter! :)

[DancerAlee123]

hahaha this is hilarious I LOVE your facial expressions they make the video funny! :) keep making videos I've watched them all about 100 times each.. but thus ones my favorite:)

[cmegs21]

appearing with... ED SULLIVAN???

[cmegs21]

0:33

dying a little.. 

[bellaboooful]

wow sooo amazing

i am a broadway dork nd this was great

[nailedwit]

I know this will be incredibly difficult, but, practice different expressions. There are too many of the same faces.

My advice is to do fewer musicals.

[mrharris222]

@nailedwit The fact that my face is made out of memory foam and randomly snaps into one of three expressions at any given time probably doesn't help, but I'll see what I can do ;)

[CatchingxoDaydreams]

whats the song at 2:20? :)

[olgap35]

This is absolutely incredible.

[theatreandfriends]

You remind me of Seth Rudetsky and it's awesome.

[AlgernonAsimov]

You, sir, are insane.

I LOVE IT! :)

[peachy557]

What is the second song? And the 4th? haha

[michellemoyah]

I watch this every day and it never fails to put a smile on my face. I know I speak for all of us when I say thank you for being you. :)

[derksthename]

@2:30 i thought that was your real voice D:

[JymzJameson]

fag

[TheTokyoToys]

@mrizzle5 same omg xD I wish there were guys like this at my college lol

[mrizzle5]

@TheTokyoToys right? they just don't make 'em like this anymore hahahaha

[knfelton23]

Oh. My. God.

I love you.

[mjhart123]

omg! soo funny lol

[penscott70]

VERY entertaining!! The duet at 4:45 is my favorite...not many people know Into the Woods. Well done!! :)

[Katantunoro]

Why the shirt changing?

[mrharris222]

@Katantunoro It wasn't filmed all at once.

[Katantunoro]

@mrharris222 I wish it was a one take, or you just randomly change shirts daily.

[cabellk]

Ole!!! This is a riot! Thank you!

[linlinlinda1]

hahahahaha is all I can say, hahahaha

[SirQuigglesTheThird]

Wait, so the effect of prolonged exposure to musical theatre is becoming awesome and hilarious?

[andron09]

So.....I knew over 80% of those songs. This was glorious. I might've cried tears of joy. Inspiration.

[Thnikkafan]

Hm. What's at 2:21? It sounds vaguely like something from Hairspray, but I'm not sure...

[griftersband]

@Thnikkafan Strongest suit from aida

[SashiTea]

This. Is. AMAZING.

I cannot thank you enough for making this. I am in hysterics. Thank you for being damn amazing.

[kkaleighj]

i am dead. i just died. so fantastical. (memphis joke.)

[malloymichael0]

OMG thank you for this video! just puts a smile on my face all day!!!!!

[waterwind2266]

You have to be a true Little Shop fan to know that the ending is Mrs. Luce's laugh in The Meek Shall Inherit.

[mrizzle5]

what's the song playing at 0:46??

[mrharris222]

@mrizzle5 "Lovely Ladies" from "Les Miserables".
