Brigadoon - Almost Like Being In Love

[DeathGodRiku]

isn't the other guy supposed to be drunk

[elgozador]

He let the queen out when he started to sing. Fabulous!

[FlyingArmadilloFlock]

beautiful, major props

[TheNeonLime]

I saw this play in may at the local high school and it was so amazing! The singers were so good! I didn't really enjoy the singing of the Male lead in this one :P

[Broadway1408]

Not bad at all! (her end not. . .vomit!)

[NPC514]

Heh The well moved.

[bradestar1111]

Isn't he supposed to be wearing a kilt?

[wackyfun512]

@bradestar1111 or plaid trousers, says in script

[Sar3539]

@shineyourlight55 thanks. I'm just callin it like I see it. Lol

[Sar3539]

I'm a freshman in college, and we are learning this song. I absolutely love it, but the lead male can not sing. I understand its musical theater but if you cant hit the high notes don't. It's that simple and for the female, she sounded great until the high F i think it was, the one at the very end. She went from a wonderful soprano voice to very nasally. You should always keep your jaw elongated and your soft pallet raised to prevent that from happening. :)

[shineyourlight55]

@Sar3539 heyy nice to meet someone w/ my mindset lol.. I agree 100%

[apmason]

@shineyourlight55 hey allison! Didn't expect to see you here!

[shineyourlight55]

@apmason hey! didn't expect 2 c u either :)

[micfishevyt]

nice orchestra pit!

[croomryan]

the girl who played fiona has a great voice!

[TheMakeoverGuy]

Great job.  Give these kids a break it's a high school production and done very well.

[dahsuerk]

I saw this production at Lincoln Southwest High, Lincoln, Nebraska. A great show by a high school.

[BernardProfitendieu]

he can't sing and he can't dance (oops! I mean he can't "walk to the music")

[awowadas]

the pit is sooooo quiet!!

[JustCallMeMONS7ER]

The guy was a bit flat but overall it was pretty good

[SeattleMusicalGuy]

in the beginning of the song the words are a bit choppy, a little more flow would be nice. and be careful when your approcing notes like on "alive" more breath support will keep you on top of the note as opposed to right under it!

[thatgirllxx]

I'm doing this for a solo festival, and this is my reference video :)

[damith219]

The Fiona's Soprano voice is REALLY irritating.. If I were Jeff, I'd be ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING...

[tayloroleson]

so my high school which ironicly is also a Lincoln High..is doing Brigadoon this year!! :)

[BernardProfitendieu]

@tayloroleson that's not irony, sister - just a run of the mill coincidence - half the schools in the US are named Lincoln

[Shadoessa]

@BernardProfitendieu Well, our city is named Lincoln, so it has to do with where we live. Get it, Lincoln Southwest? Meaning Southwest of Lincoln? Yeah, creative I know...

[BernardProfitendieu]

@Shadoessa my point was about the misuse of the word 'irony' not about your hicktown - get it?

[Shadoessa]

@BernardProfitendieu ? I got it the first time. That's why I was explaining why it was named Lincoln. And Lincoln has 300,000+ people, it's not a hicktown. Oh well.

[Leiri84]

I thought it was great! I wish our high school did a production like that!

[txquis]

As someone who has probably seen more community theater and high school productions than most anyone alive...this whole production is really very impressive.

[143AC]

I have to agree about the young man playing"Tommy"his singing and acting..Stinks!

[GumshoeFilms]

This dude sucks...no real emotion.

[tdalysinger]

He's really cute, but he is alittle flat...the girl is ok, until the end.

[143AC]

The reason that there is no dancing in this or any

stage production of"Brigadoon"? Was because it was

written and staged as a romantic musical fantasy with only

a certain ammount of dancing. Only The MGM movie musical had alot of dancing..or so

said my friend..Mr.Dwain Smith..who had appeared in

a community theater production of the show.

[287robot]

I really liked Jeff's character. In our school's production "our Jeff" made his sarcasm stick out way too much, like he was lecturing the audience.

I love this song so much (except these 2 were way off beat with each other).

[287robot]

almost like being in loveAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAA!!!

[BiteHunter]

I played Mr. Lundie in our HS production of Brigadoon. I was so envious that I could not play the male lead and sing this song. I swear this song was written for me. I'm in love everyday. I don't get why hate exists. Great. Now I can't get this song out of my mind. Love Fiona!

[ObsessedwithBroadway]

I'm singing this for an audition next month, and hope I can sound gooood.... I'm not a soprano. :D

[clownrus]

Then don't sing it.

[ObsessedwithBroadway]

No, I mean technically it's in a lower key, like the key Tommy sings it in, not Fiona. If I had to sing fiona's part I'd be doomed. :)

[Skkae]

Her end note made me want to pull my ear drums out with a pair of pliers.

I believe she was too sharp...or she forced it.

And he went flat with any note he held....

Otherwise, I liked it.

Then again, this is a high school production. D:

[syringe4thepeople]

haha. the pants were my favorite part in our production too.

[kzaaaaaa]

you're voice is a bit flat, but you have a very nice tone. The girl's not so great....

And what's with that well?

[MusicSongAndPassion]

At my school's musical Brigadoon, what made it really funny is that Jeff jumped on stage wearing a kilt and when he sat down to hear tommy sing he would tuck it between his legs. HALARIOUS

[jonasrichards]

So, I am doing this show. I am playing Tommy. I have to disagree with ecjbdafoever. I hate the Gene Kelly version. It was a show directed by, produced by, and starred by Gene Kelly. This kid sings much better than Gene Kelly, even with how terrible the kid was. I think he did a great job. Jeff was acting like a dusche cause that's his job, to act.

[ecjbdaforever]

The dancing left much to be desired for. I really love Gene Kelly's version - the movie, you know. But then again, its unfair to compare this poor boy to Gene Kelly.

[Myrthmor]

Gene Kelly's version cut both the lyrical act two songs, turned this song into a complete solo feature and added himself a dance break that doesn't exist in the original score. The amount of movement shown here is about right for this song staged-version-wise, though it could be done a little more exuberantly.

[RyanCondrey89]

Wow that Jeff is a dousche!

[alexandramar17]

Excuse me, I was Meg in this production and the boy who played Jeff had perfect comedic timing and was wonderful to work with

[RyanCondrey89]

It's very t.v. sitcom.. he didn't even stick to the script meg lol

[RyanCondrey89]

I also played jeff in my production

[alexandramar17]

Who actually goes word for word? It was the same concepts.. and I'm sure you were wonderful but we're all entertainers.. we should be supportive. He's clearly very talented.

[RyanCondrey89]

Totally agree, he should stick to theatre if it makes him happy.. That Jeff Douglas was a little douschey though.. I'm not smokin' the actor because i'm sure he's great.. Not really a great character though.. He's supposed to be a drunk.. Nothing here in this specific clip portrays him that way.. Also, he's supposed to be a sarcastic asshole.. Again, this Jeff Douglas is merely a country club regular who may drink a lite scotch from time... I'm sure it was an overall awesome production..

[alexandramar17]

It was awesome and he played sarcastic asshole quite well.

[marielle019]

The dancing made me feel awkward.

[GumshoeFilms]

I'm sorry, but this video doesnt do this song justice. The girl was pretty good, but everything else was just....well, bad.

[Leighanne2kk]

I love that thistles line!
