[passodia2]

Thank you for inspiring me.

[junkheadinfection]

jonathan groff is so adorable. :D

[armassmann]

This is literally my favorite thing

[rgraverson]

OMG I never noticed at 6:26 the bum bugging Nina for change! I love it!

[laadylazarus]

aww, groffy!

[TheoRose13]

I really hope if I ever want to quit Music Theatre my friends burst out into this song!

[soccerstar112795]

OMG! Jon Groff!!! I LOVE him

[fadsandgonads]

Holy crap, I was so not expecting Jon Groff to be in this. I actually feel a bit giddy seeing him. lol. Lame.

[arejayish]

@fadsandgonads not lame lol

[csteenblok]

Jonathon Groff would be the perfect Ferris Bueller if they made it a musical! He's so wonderful!

[botherer567]

Wait... I didn't catch the line about Laura Bell

[broadwaystar2011]

aww! I miss it guys!!!

[gfata111]

I love JOHNATHON GROFF!!!

[GreenMusicGirl10]

Anyone notice at 6:26 how Nina like pushes a homeless man?! I just saw that, all the way to the left!

[WhoaItsJonathan]

Cats shirt! epic!

[tamperhard]

Check out "Nick DiPrinzio" 8th grade

[broadwaystar2011]

Anyone else catch the thing at 6:25 ? check out when they are going down the stairs... VERY audience left!

[falconbeach1]

haha i never caught that...

i knew threw her hand out,

but i never saw the person.

[crazyking1325]

i loved the Duncan Sheik part xD

[hilllll444]

This song makes me feal so confident and loving of who i am :)

[MissMcFuzz]

Haha! Donna Vivino!

[BeLoudBeProud]

I JUST REALIZED! That 4:35 is filmed in front of a mirror! I always thought it was a window....

But then I noticed Jane Eyre is backwards!

[xXxAlliancexXx]

Maybe you just ears hear it off key

[AmandaKayHowell]

Can't you let someone make a honest comment about their personal opinion without trying to insult them? I said I guess it's suppose to sound that way...obviously its a very successful song and I respect that. I just think it sounds a little off key at times. I apologize if I hurt anyones feelings for what I said.

[xXxAlliancexXx]

i didnt mean it that way...

[erikaflup]

i saw ryan in hair yesterday!!!!

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

How did you guys clear out the subway and Times Square?

[HedlesChikN7th]

I find it slightly ironic that this show is kind of Broadway oriented and about a guy who wants to make it big and their actually dancing at the entrance of one of the theaters. Passing bystanders probably thought this was some preview to one of the shows.

[broadwaybound246]

OMG IS THAT JONATHAN GROFF?!?!

[triplethreat789]

Are they doing a dance from High School Musical near the end?

[Shaunaliin]

I Love Rent Love This More xD

-Emilee

[alanakoontz]

michael arden <3

[eternalxxxdream]

omfg. michael arden and jonatham groff?!? i love those guys :)

[worldwide156]

bought this song on itunes the other day and listen to it non-stop. i will never forget the first time i heard this, i was like "this can not be happening!"...lol

[friendtim]

Can I just tell you I was just belting Jakes final note and my 2 year old nephew was all in my grill like what the fuck!?

[Beccychan]

I can still remeber how overwhelmed I felt the first time I heard this song.

<3 perfection

[br0adwaybabi03]

t moon becomes a treee AHAHAHAHAHA thats a hilarious reference

[FizzingFury]

I LOVE THE REFERENCES!!! Especially the Once on this Island one!

[Phantomnightwatcher]

Who is that really cute guy in green tshirt who did the line "dude, you're gay"?

[GreenMusicGirl10]

I'm pretty sure it's either Benj or Justin but I always forget which is which, not because they look similar just because I know them as Pasek&Paul. =P

[amandap228]

It's Justin. :)

[amandap228]

They're both in it.

[cxeazn]

Ryan Watkinson

[tappytb]

lmao i love the play on RENT the musical! so so so clever!

[cloudy7589]

I really love this (because of many reasons) but it's really fun to watch the people on the subway just unabashedly staring the whole time.

[cxeazn]

Who's the guy who sings the line "to Larry O'Key Change?" at 8:08?  And does he show up in any of the other episodes/behind the scenes?

[worldwide156]

adam wachter...i think he does a lot of behind the scene stuff in the studio...look in the credits for adam wachter, his names comes up a lot for many different things : ) he is usually seen playing the piano and he is the music supervisor...i am sure this is more too

[markuswee]

at 6:50, is that guy neil from so you think you can dance? just wondering.

[cxeazn]

I don't think so.

[theblissfullife]

Holy crap! I love this! I've been hearing about these episodes forever and finally got around to watching them. This is my life...Thank you for brightening up my day!

[DiNasty42]

No group of people have ever looked better step-touching in Times Square.

[angelicscorpio91]

i love how all these mt folks know each other even if they didnt all graduate from the same schools.

i freaking love new york and this small world.

[WeirdFro]

which one is better? courtney or nina?

[WeirdFro]

i don't get the halloween part and it makes me feel stupid and not worthy. anyone else get it?

[geekgirl06]

He's Little Edie from Grey Gardens. I didn't get it at first because he has the magnifying glass right in front of his face.

[Maestrojosh87]

Little Edie in the 70s?

[WeirdFro]

after all of these times of watching this, i just realized why jake didn't get in the show. i couldn't understand what she said. "have you been a reader for us before?" hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[Phantomnightwatcher]

Has anyone noticed the bum that made a cameo on 6:25 offering coffee or begging for change to that poor girl on the end? I watched this video so many times this was the first time I noticed him. You have to see her reaction! It was just fall-off-your-chair hilarious!

[cxeazn]

Oh wow I've never seen that before it's so funny! I can't stop seeing it now :D

[crazychel]

love those blue shoes

[Phantomnightwatcher]

I just love the number of various musical theater references in the entire song. In some spots they are almost like a wink and nudge to true theater lovers!

[piperandleoxx4]

omg this is such a good song!

[samteadee]

this show's cool =]

[worldwide156]

i wish andrew keenan bolger could have been in this number :(

[WeirdFro]

i was just about to say the same thing

[BeautifullyWicked23]

Probably my favorite song out of the whole show :)

LOVED IT!

[jewelgem12]

This is my absolute favourite song. And the short haired girl is the best. What's her name?~

What musical is Timoune from?

[viewofsaturday]

the short haired girl is cortney wolfson i do believe!!

and the musical is Once on this island. :]

[jewelgem12]

Awesome! Thanks so much

I shall go check that out...

[tinyncute8]

really good music, congrats

[abercrombie5900]

i love this show!!!!!! seriously!

[JCookie1213]

haha i loveeee michael arden

[actresss247]

It just gets better every time i watch it!!!!! which has been ALOT of times, let me tell you. I mean, at this point, it's pushing godly!

[legallywickedblonde]

I really like green beans.

[dogsloveacting]

OMG,I REALLY LIKE THIS!!!THIS SHOULD ACTUALLY BE PUT ON BROADWAY!!!I love it!!!

[SebbyDebb]

Cortney looks like Lily Allen to me....except Cortney sings about 10,000,000,000X better :)

[squelchyfrog]

Never mind. I missed the In The Heights references. But where's Company?

[squelchyfrog]

This is MY life. But there's no In The Heights references..... D:

[sketch093]

LOVE this show!

[billiebug77]

*sigh!*

i think i'm in love!

[Broadway241]

btw i love the very end dance.. very hsm2. (hope that's a compliment)

[Broadway241]

OHMYGOSH! I've been hooked on this show because of this song mostly. I had to listen to it like 10 times to understand like half of the theater jokes! (: Great song in thiis video:D

[wrightstateboy45]

brilliance! pure brilliance!

[WeirdFro]

When I first saw this show, I loved it. Now,I love it even more and I can finally take pride in actually knowign who 3/4 of the people mentioned in these videos are!:)

[WeirdFro]

I just took out my Les Mis playbill and found Courtney's picture and name in it!

[RobDoryn]

haha me too!

[WeirdFro]

I just realized that the papers said "Courtney Wolfson" on them.

[WeirdFro]

I'm probably the only one, but I don't get the Halloween costume thing. Can someone explain it to me? I feel unqualified to watch this without getting the joke.

[RdKurama]

You guys are fantastic.

[RdKurama]

Is that Jonathan Groff?!

Dayum

[lina25]

This song has been stuck in my head for like a week.

[zellious]

OMG. TIMOUNE BECOMING A TREE. LOlololol. That was the funniest thing ever.

[o0mermaidgurl0o]

omg omg omg. I LOVE Michael Arden. <3 Bare

[MattActorGordon]

Wow...

[alucard435]

The song's amazing, the storie's great!! Very nice!

[Konstantine03]

OMG! This is like the story of my life! YOU HAVE NO IDEA! I seriously want all of those posters! these songs seriously need to be on itunes or something!

[avenueqpat]

This is my favorite song of the series - I'm glad you guys did a reprise of "This is your Life" in the season finale!

[Konstantine03]

yeah, and i love the fact that John Gallagher has a little verse in the finale too! =)

[CitricLemon92]

I smiled the whole way through.

I love this

[samiam1432]

Dumb question...but does that "Leave Laura alone!" youtube video really exist?

[summerbum86]

I don't think so... they are just making fun of the "leave britney alone!" guy.

[samiam1432]

Oh, I know lol I was just wondering if Jake really did post a Leave Laura alone video and they put it in the song.

[withoutascript]

o wow i don't pay attention i didn't even notice til now that michael arden was there and they even said his name jeeze

[withoutascript]

lol the "La vie boheme" thing was awesome

[withoutascript]

i screamed when Jonathan Groff entered I was not expecting that
