"Two By Two" The Book Of Mormon Industry Rebooted

[matty111978]

Why is the audience so disrespectful? Great job tho

[dannyraz1]

@matty111978 Thanks!...and I don't think they're being disrespectful at all. Thy're all our friends and peers yelling and cheering us on, if anything, it made us perform better!

[ZhenChan365]

Australian?! No way :D nice job btw

[dannyraz1]

@ZhenChan365 you better believe it Mate!! haha thanks :)

[Kailationn]

That was awesome!

[dannyraz1]

@Kailationn thankyou!

[stevenncarpenter]

I started to watch this video thinking it would be a cheap spinoff of a great musical number. You proved me wrong and I love you for it. Your choreography was wonderful and I had a blast watching your work. Congratulations!

[dannyraz1]

@stevenncarpenter haha, I'm glad we proved you wrong! Thanks for the kind words!

[msdaae123]

that was great!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it!! wow!!!

[dannyraz1]

@msdaae123 thanks so much!!

[inmotionlivemedia]

SUPER ANNOYING AUDIENCE! great performance!

[dannyraz1]

@inmotionlivemedia thanks! i still don't know why the audience is that annoying...they're just showing their support haha

[bubbajotbone]

So wait, did you lip synch to a recorded track of your own vocals or did you sing this live?

[dannyraz1]

@bubbajotbone we lip synched to our own pre-recorded vocals...we learnt the song and all the parts live, but when it came down to a couple of days before the gig, we found out there weren't enough mic's, so we had to pre-record it all

[bubbajotbone]

@dannyraz1 OK, thats what I thought, I was just wondering haha. Great job lol

[DemiandSelenafanone]

That was AMAZING! :O I love this musical sooooo much! <3

[dannyraz1]

@DemiandSelenafanone thanks!!

[Chiaracha1]

I really love it!!!!!

[dannyraz1]

@Chiaracha1 thanks heaps!!

[musicislife88598]

Boys that can sing and dance and aren't ashamed. I wish I had some of you in my school.

[dannyraz1]

@musicislife88598 haha yeah we love performing! thanks for the love

[AverageWizard100]

Your audience is a bit annoying, but your performance was unforgettible! Great job!!

[dannyraz1]

@AverageWizard100 thanks!

[OldTimezz]

I can't stop watching this video...... it's an addiction... almost as bad as my addiction with Neil Patrick Harris, but that's a whole different story;)

[dannyraz1]

@OldTimezz hahaha gold

[OldTimezz]

If boys from my school did this.... it'd just be a dream come true... for real. AMAZING! I LOVED IT!!

[dannyraz1]

@OldTimezz yeah, the world needs more boys that sing and dance!! Actually, I take that back! Leave it with us! So then we have more work opportunities haha....Thanks! :)

[sibtx]

this was a great performance! i'm surprised y'all are australian!  the accents were totally american sounding, so great job! keep posting these videos, they're fun to watch.

[dannyraz1]

@sibtx haha thanks! yeah we tried our best to nail those accents, and obviously did an okay job, because we fooled some of you! I'll be sure to post up our next performance, whenever that may be.

[jmccuen]

I liked this because of @02:56 :)

[dannyraz1]

@jmccuen haha everyone loves a bit of confetti :P

[Boy3cool]

Well from the US of course! :)

You guys have got to do a live encore performance. If it ends up being in the US somehow I would totally be there. If I had to buy a plane ticket to see you guys sadly don't think I could afford it but still would love to see it posted to YouTube!

[dannyraz1]

@Boy3cool haha well im glad our American Accents were convincing! well if we get a chance, of course we will, but I highly doubt it will happen in the near future. Thanks for the love and support though. Its great knowing that so many people love it so much!

[Boy3cool]

"in the states"? Where was this performed?

[dannyraz1]

@Boy3cool we're from Sydney, Australia. It was performed at a variety show here in Sydney...where did you think we were from? haha

[Boy3cool]

I have watched this EVERYDAY. it is by far my favorite video on YouTube. I'm surprised this video hasn't gotten more views! You guys deserve to be seen by everyone! When will you guys perform again?

[dannyraz1]

@Boy3cool wow thanks!! I'm glad you love it so much. Yeah hopefully it'll build up more views and get seen by a lot more people! I'm not sure because a few of us are touring with shows, a couple are over in The States at the moment, so it all depends on when we're all together next, which may not be a while unfortunately :(

[dannyraz1]

@AoifeUnudottir thanks! Yeah that part was definitely our favorite part of the song too. My friend Patric Kuo and I choreographed it, but the other boys definitely had a little bit of input here and there too. I'm just lucky that I have such a talented group of friends!

[AoifeUnudottir]

Have to admit, "Orrrlaaandooooooooo" has to be my favourite part. The lift and the confetti just made it. Such a great job to all of you! I know the vocals were all pre-recorded, but you guys sounds fantastic together, and you nailed the harmonies. Keep up the great work! Who choreographed for you? Or was it a group effort?

[dannyraz1]

@Whisper6911 I know they seem rude on the video, but cat calling, cheering and clapping during the performance is welcomed and encouraged at the event we performed at. To be honest, I think it made us perform better being able to hear all that noise and support. Obviously at a real show or musical this wouldn't happen, but it was a variety night held at a night club, so all the noise during our performance was to be expected :)

[dannyraz1]

@flamingmeatloaf27 unfortunately yes :( there weren't enough microphones for us all to use so we ended up having to pre-record it. We didn't auto-tune it at all though, and all the harmonies were still done by only the guys who were set to sing their specific harmonies and parts. Hopefully next time we do a gig like this, we can sing it all live.

[flamingmeatloaf27]

All the vocals were prerecored right?

[Whisper6911]

most obnoxious audience ever.

[kiramilan]

This is the most AMAZING and HILARIOUS video I have ever seen!!!! I absolutely LOVE the choreography!!! I laugh more and more every time I watch it!! Going into musical theater is my DREAM and this is so inspiring!! You're all SO incredibly talented, I hope I can be HALF as good as you guys when I'm older!! PHENOMENAL job!!! ♪ ♫

[dannyraz1]

@kiramilan WOW! thanks so much! it means so much to hear that we can be some kind of inspiration. Thanks again for the kind words :)

[Talim0BS]

SO AWESOME!!!! :D Seriously!! xD xx

[dannyraz1]

@Talim0BS thankyou!!

[Smartpplz161]

This is perfect. Oh my god XD I've watched this like 10 times and I am unashamed. The choreography is perfection! <3

[dannyraz1]

@Smartpplz161 haha thanks so much!! and keep watching it! :P

[Daizzey85]

Fantastic job !!

[dannyraz1]

@Daizzey85 thanks :)

[OldTimezz]

[gredangeo]

Fan level 99

[dannyraz1]

@gredangeo why is it not at 100!!?? haha thanks!!

[iRachiefication]

...speechless. This is AWESOME!

[dannyraz1]

@iRachiefication Thanks!!

[bingoe4]

Seriously seriously awesome! I favorited so I could watch again and share wiht others. You should do it again with a a little bit better camera and recording.

[dannyraz1]

@bingoe4 thanks so much!

[brandonliewmusic]

I wasn't expecting much when I clicked on this video, but that was REALLY good. I was not expecting that much professionalism. How long did it take for you and your friends to put it all together? And where exactly was this performed? :] It feels good to see people like you guys perform this piece with such enthusiasm and skill (esp. the dancing and choreography). Hope to see some more awesome videos from you guys in the future!

[dannyraz1]

@brandonliewmusic wow, thanks so much for that! well to be honest, the first time we all did it together was the morning of the gig. Because everyone was really busy with other gigs and rehearsals, we taught it to everyone in little groups of 2 or 3 when they were available. And during that time, we spent 3 afternoons in the studio recording and mixing vocals. I just taught everyone their vocal parts and harmonies on the fly basically. All up, it took about 2 weeks to get this final product!

[ithinkimkari]

that was amazing. this is unreal <3

[dannyraz1]

@ithinkimkari thanks!!

[BroadwayBoundCorina]

Hey! I saw this show on broadway, and this is just as good!! except ya know Andrew rannells and josh gad(whom I met:) but anyways this is greatt!!

[dannyraz1]

@BroadwayBoundCorina thanks! haha and yeah those two guys are awesome! both perfect for those roles.

[yckitty08]

oh my gosh! this was incredible! loved every second of it!

[dannyraz1]

@GMTrumpet13 hey, make sure you upload a video when it done! Would love to see it. And yeah we choreographed most of it ourselves. Like the main dance break was choreographed by us, but we did borrow the marching step at the start of every chorus from the actual show.

[GMTrumpet13]

hey we are doing this song at my school for our broadway dinner! did you guys choreograph it yourselves or did you steal it from somewhere?

[schutout001]

Maybe if the audience would stop catcalling, I could hear what I think were some pretty good voices. R.I.P. theatre etiquette.

[dannyraz1]

@schutout001 Thanks for watching it. yeah I know the catcalling is pretty bad, but it wasn't really a theatre performance, it was more of a concert, so thats why the theatre etiquette was non-existent. But to be honest all that cat calling and yelling did make us perform better haha

[theXsapphireXangel]

i wish my high school did the book of mormon for their musical theater. they were working on it, and a couple of weeks before their big performance, the teacher decided the show wasnt gonna sell, so they cancelled it and failed the entire class!

[CoelJumber]

@theXsapphireXangel what...?

[dannyraz1]

@theXsapphireXangel that sucks. but how can the teacher fail the class if it was the teacher that pulled the plug on the show. thats just silly!

[BroadwayBoundCorina]

@theXsapphireXangel Haha im sorry, but im sure they decided against it because it is totally and completely ilegal! The show will not be realeased for a very long time.

[Lauraleigh7]

Your hired!

[dannyraz1]

@Lauraleigh7 haha what are we hired for!!?? :P ... thanks :)

[aks477578]

This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I WISH I had had such talented dancers at my high school!!!!!!!

[dannyraz1]

@aks477578 haha thanks! what high school do you go to!?

[aks477578]

@dannyraz1 Haha! I actually graduated from high school several years ago, and unfortunately my private Christian academy, while having no shortage of drama, had no theatre program. Hopefully now that I am teaching there, I can help remedy that situation!!! You are all very talented! : )

[calialoha25]

werrrrrrrrrrrrrk!!!!!!!! nailing it

[dannyraz1]

@calialoha25 thanks! haha weeeeerk

[blanquita2010]

[nostalgic90skid]

Well done! :D

Too bad the singing wasn't life...

[dannyraz1]

@nostalgic90skid thanks! yeah it was a bummer that we couldn't sing it live. there weren't enough mikes for all of us so we had to pre-record it unfortunately. but it still turned out really well!

[nostalgic90skid]

@dannyraz1 Indeed! ^^

[figure8b3ta]

Well done guys, the choreography was outstanding!

[dannyraz1]

@figure8b3ta thanks!

[dannyraz1]

@MarshmallowKeyblade8 haha oh well, the crowd were awesome that night, they went off! but you're right, it does make it difficult to hear the video properly at some points.

[DremordDrale]

OHHHH this isnt the original! Anyway - awesome job!

[dannyraz1]

@DremordDrale haha well im glad you thought it was for a second! lol thanks

[DremordDrale]

WTF ELDER CUNNINGHAM IS BLACK? O_o

[dannyraz1]

@DremordDrale haha yep! why not mix it up a bit!?

[DremordDrale]

@dannyraz1 lol it's good to but he sounds like a small white kid lol - good voice actor!

[dannyraz1]

@DremordDrale haha yeah he doesnt sound like that at all usually, he did an awesome job of it

[eyescandeceive]

[johncerasi]

[Gmrielly]

Fantastic job,what event was this for?

[dannyraz1]

@Gmrielly Thanks!! It's an event in Sydney that happens every 3 months called "Industry". It's a chance for everyone in the entertainment industry here to come together, network, socialize and showcase what they've been working on. This was the piece my friend Patric Kuo and I submitted and put together for the show.
