[TheFlyingSeal]

Oh wow, that was amazing!

I remember one time, in my Troupe, we were going to our Hotel for state. So I tried to sing Telephone Hour (which was one of our acts for the competion) but only one person followed along. I felt so embarrassed! XD

Freaking awesome.

[YukinaMaxwell]

[Zeldafan69x]

This was amazing. I wish I knew the territory.

[tomatosoup098]

This is so lol. Great job. Was this improv?

[SuperMike82]

the only thing wrong with this video is that it's too hard to understand everything being said. other than that, i wish i was there watching this!

[Jakedigioia]

This is easy to say the most amazing thing I have ever ever heard. Wow. I am in my highschool's production of The Music Man. You guys are great!

[ILiveForCommenting]

First video I've ever seen with over 150 likes and no dislikes. Fitting.

(Now someone will dislike it just to spite me.)

[1MoreRoundbrother]

[sodasgurl1999]

[DancingAmongTheStars]

Hahaha That was great. I'm in this show now and I must say, this is a fantastic idea. ;-D Gotta love theater people!

[tabitwin]

there used to be a comment on here that said something about knowing the passenger in the green. he was harold hill in a production of the music man! that's hilarious. and now i'm doing this musical :)

[CatLuvr69]

Boy, that had to be fun to do. Wonder how they convinced the driver to let them do it.

[parttimeuser]

LOVE THIS BOYS! You know the territory!

[Casey5693]

Great job, boys! They remembered everything. It was perfect! We're doing a Broadway Review and the guys are performing this. I'm excited.

[MrJonah1995]

Ok. Our drama company is performing this play, and were so doing this XD

[Notebooked]

Oh my god this is just stupendous. Just...yes. Yes.

[skiddlywinkle]

Oh my fucking god that was fantastic.

[TarkDaShark]

I think my choir might have to "steel" this idea

[AdamWeissbradley]

Awesome! Love it!

[6Hex9]

I just want to give you all a big hug!

[ghostie7790]

awsome job! the guy in the green is like, "When will it stop!!?"

[nrobinsn]

@ghostie7790 The "guy in the green" is actually Harold Hill! He is showcasing his incredible acting.

[leetfeetman]

@nrobinsn are you being serious or joking? :O

[nrobinsn]

@leetfeetman serious! It's him!

[leetfeetman]

@nrobinsn lol man i wish i had a group of friends who knew this movie and this song so we could just walk onto some random bus or tramway etc. and sing it XD

[MrDanielBrisk]

@nrobinsn Would have been great if they could have timed the subway stop for "Hill" to finish his dialogue. Probably would have either freaked out the other travelers, too. :)

[morgana22446]

@nrobinsn there joking he died ages ago

[mchammar416]

@morgana22446 they mean he's harold hill in their theater troupe

[morgana22446]

They r so good

[shelbell540]

The guy in the green shirt has just had enough at 2:30

His loss. :)

[firestar070]

This made my life!

[drew9308]

guess how many chicks they picked up during that/life

[mfairldy]

That was so awesome!!

[velvetviolets]

I put on The Music Man my sophomore year of high school, and it has lived on as one of my favorite musicals of all time. I've always wondered what would happen if I gathered a group together to perform it on public transport, so I'm glad someone cooler's beaten me to it.

Best part though? Guy in the green shirt, lower right-hand corner, is the guy who played Professor Hill in my high school production six years ago. We went to high school in California. Talk about coincidence.

[tabitwin]

@velvetviolets lol! he kinda looks like gene wilder! but, at least one person on the train knew what the song was from!

[ChaosControlled123]

You guys win at life. :D

[kilvan66]

Great!!! Well done!!! Bravo! Totally funny, too, the reactions of the other people on the train -- acting like nothing special was happening. Ha ha! Well, lots of people clapped, off camera, anyway. Guess they knew the territory. :-)

[mrshackztor]

You guys ROCK!!! :D

[IlaughedIcried]

OMG, that absolutely MADE my day! You guys are the "Improv Everywhere" of Boston, at least in terms of public spectacle and bravery. :) I'm putting this on my Facebook page. Yesss sir. Yesss sir. Yesss sir.

[harmonyegogal]

Love it

[jbulger30]

This is great. Good job guys.

[Watabird]

You people are awesome!

[MsAtownballer4423]

[raptor9191987]

LMFAO! AMAZING!!!!!!!

[D3GRASSi]

[CrackalackinProd]

[ShadowinEX]

The guy sitting next to them who leave around 2:30... he's laughing most of the time. PS: The Music Man is printed on their shirts lol. I'm sure that everyone got a kick outta that.

[dlcclegend]

Fucking Class lads.

We're doing a production of this in school.

That's savage xD

[thorngburg402]

[Dulcimerist]

FRICKIN' HYSTERICAL!

[Scrapperton]

Yes! =D Most epic video on YT.

[morninglory99]

Brilliant! I'm doing this with my school now...if only I could get all the salesmen and newspaper readers on a train together xD

[Triundi]

My mind has been blown. Thank you.

[torresxrocks]

lol wow that was awesome! lol

i never understood the meaning though... like "but you gotta know the territory!" is it supposed to mean something?

keep it up!

[Triundi]

@torresxrocks The territory is the area and demographics in/to which a salesmen pitches his goods. Hill traveled wherever he may, without thinking ahead about whether the people needed or wanted his goods, or even if they could afford it. He didn't know, nor care about, the territory.

[torresxrocks]

oh! thanks, very helpful! =]

[dasalottamayonaze]

WELL SAID M'BOY......NOW LOOKIE HERE...NOW I KNOW WHAT YA SAYIN TO YAWSELF...I FEEL FINE! wELL SHAW YA DEW...BUT MY FRIEND LEMMIE TELL YA..THIS MR. RICHARDS OPIUM ELIXUR IS THE THING YOU NEED...AND YOU MAMME' WHAT WITH THE COUGH GOING ON ROUND THESE PARTS......

WHADAYATALK BOUT THAT? hAHAHAH

[IlaughedIcried]

@Triundi Because, of course, he was a huckster -- a fake. That's why he didn't behave like the other traveling salesmen and perplexed them so.

[heyvampiregirl1901]

Hahaha! LOVE IT!

[wintermint08]

that was realy good you guys!!! i htink the people on the train liked it too ^_^

[joseaugusto1]

Niiice... Really enjoyed it...whadayatalk??

[gcannistraci]

Nice job guys. I recall this from 60's soundtrack. Took me a second..lol

[BRS94043]

That was absolutely fantastic!

I'm kinda curious how many of the people on the T actually understood where that was from.

[blva888]

@BRS94043 Was wondering that myself.

[Benkotter]

This looks like theey are on the Long Island Railroad. It's pretty funny that everyone not in their group is ignoring them, but you know they're listening.

[saxophoney]

Brilliant.

[saxdiva]

Love it. Great job... !

[igottaflyonce]

wow, this is amazing.

[nitouken]

Some friends and I have been planning to do that for some time. Perhaps we shall, and then I shall post a response. Brilliant performance, gentlemen.

[shakybaker]

Awesome job!!!

[ZalaSama]

That...was nothing short of brilliant -- and ballsy.

But the best actors are the brave ones.

You have my respect....and my love

[VONheisenburg]

You guys are the best. I love this. I wish I was there. But you gotta know the territory!

[Indywolf7]

[MrzNickJonasJBOD]

Oh my gosh.

Wow. You guys are really good!

It kinda scares me how good you are.

(:

[fuzzyk1w1]

That is just awesome!!!

I only know a couple people who would know the song, let alone sing it!

[BigKingEd]

I'd totally do this if I could get all the other salesmen onto a train.

[burnsidesideburns]

Insane to do it public but I would have been there myself if I had the chance.

[AirplaneFoods]

I wish I had friends as cool as these guys.

[jerryplabs]

U DONT KNOW THE TERRITORY

[oxxie101]

Awesome guys! My schools putting on this play. My friend,Lydia,is Marian. Im Zaneeta

[TerryMannfan]

Darn it! I wanted to get my buds from the train scene to do this on a real train, too. I got to be Charlie Cowell.

[bachrub]

Great fun!!

[macknitter]

Marvelous. Nice to see that the Stage Troupe carries on. (SED '92 grad)

[gliese47]

[lexerboy]

Wow. You guys are great! I wish my friends would do stuff like that

[franklinshepard]

I wish I had friends that were cool enough to do this with me! I'm the only person who ever wants to sing showtunes on the 1.

[MordecaiPMachiva]

WILL IT NEVER BE SAFE TO BE ON THE GREEN LINE?! WILL ANYONE EVER RIDE THAT TRAIN IN BLESSED PEACE?! OR IS THAT RESERVED FOR THE LUCKY FEW RUN OVER BY THAT CURSED LOCOMOTIVE?!

Jesus. First fenway shoving the Red Sox nation in our face, now this.

[duncanbiscotti]

YOU guys should do the Iowa song next....bravo.

[robcat2075]

It's kinda like a "flash mob" except it's a flash musical.

Great job guys.

[Joshua12345]

I thought the bemused fella was going to be Harold Hill, shame, he wasn't.

[Chibi12345678]

That is genius! The people didn't look too pleased though :/ Meh!

[Marius24601]
