Too slow, but that's not his fault! He's a cutie, and he sings well, but so much coming off pitch into a speech-singy thing shouldn't be done with Sondheim. He'd kill you if he heard this, believe me!
wtf horrible actor u cant hit one high note. i played this part and your a disgrace to jack and you started laughing breaking charcter when u did the breast thing
beautifully acted....i like the slow tempo, it makes the realizations and sadness jack is going through more clear than the quick tongue-twisting lyric that is typical sondheim....so it may not be right, but it's good, and after all, witches can be right and giants can be good ;-)
@tommytune79 There is no sadness. He is excited. He just found giants in the sky he wants to be there and be at home at the same time. He has just realized he had an adventure and has become a man. He is excited about this. Nothing sad.
Very nice! Probably the best high school version I've seen. Like others have said, the song was a bit slow, but the singing and acting were wonderful. This is probably going to be our worst song (we just started) because our Jack had to be re-cast, and the new one- can't sing too great...I love Jack's costume by the way! It's adorable! ^_^
indeed, it is the best high school version i've seen as well. but, as most have noted that the song seems slow, that is how it was originally written. if it's unlike sondheim, people should take it up with him. check out the original sung by Ben Wright. He sang it with just about the same tempo.
@ARbenSRbarGR. Not entirely true - the original is substantially faster - the song is not about sadness, it is about the flush of youth and a young boy's first encounter with lust. Jack is not sad at all. Sondheim intended it to be faster - look at the tempo markings in a score - that way Sondhiem's genius lyrics work much better. However I must admit well sung - very tough song for most.
he's pretty darn good. only the way he moves is a little distracting and it kinda messed up his voice (only a little). but other than that, great job!
Ohmygoodness..you were amazing. I can not get over how amazing you just did. I think I might have to watch it several more times. Just to make sure Im not crazy.
I can't believe someone asks, "Is it over?" in the beginning. The arrogance of some people. >_> If someone puts forth the effort to perform for you, at least TRY to act interested.
Jesu Cristo, hija. You make a perfect Jack. And your voice is very professional. Although, I after seeing your 'false identities' video, you quite possibly could have played the Baker's wife very well. ;P
haha atta boy austin. you're the man. it's pretty cool to finally get to see the play. it sucked not being able to see it because we were in the pit orchestra. hahaha
He only lit up the stage because the spotlight operators were there to make him glow. >_> *was one of the spotlight operators* Er, in all seriousness, you did awesome Austin, but I've already said that.... So.... Yay! ^^
I am going to punch that girl at the beginning who said "Is it over?"
