Waterford High School : Coffee Break

[CostumerLouis]

Not really good - could use a lot more work.

Not a big fan of the set - seems a little childish.

Tempo of music too fast - seems like the actors aren't really understanding the lyrics.

It's a good high-school production... not a good version of this song.

I would rate this 4 out of 10.

I liked the creative use of limited space - I don't know that this version is better than the M. Broderick revival (1995) video, seems unfair to compare a high school to a professional Broadway cast but it was very good and quite entertaining! Thanks for posting!

*sighs* this is good and all but i'm really sad not a single other production of this song other than the one on broadway includes the monkey thing.. i really did like that...

[philly26phan]

people keep saying that this is better than the one on broadway. I for one like the broadway version way better, but this is really good. I have never seen a high school beat broadway, and this is no exception

[NSArachnoSniper]

I know every single person up there :D Waterford High FTW

[Piccolo13]

Um...why do they have the same exact set my school had

[SpylerShau]

Do you go to SCSU, by any chance? Haha. (I'm the Smitty from the vid, btw)

[Piccolo13]

Yes I did

[SpylerShau]

Haha - our director is really good friends with Craig Burns. We needed a set so we were given yours so we altered it to fit our stage. So it is your set, haha, and it was beautiful.

[Piccolo13]

Oh wow, I never knew that. And yes it is a great set and it takes me back seeing it here :)

[crocostimpy]

Hey, youz guys, I don't know if you noticed but I posted the Coffee Break from SCSU a while ago. A friend of mine that worked on the production filmed it and gave me a DVD, I figured I'd let him post the rest.

[piratefreak319]

OMG! this is sweeet!! I went to a district competion for theater and a troupe did this number. It was good, but (no offense to anyone that was in the district number) but your production seems alot better.

[macky3214]

haha wrong waterford lol is this in america cause i' from ireland and everything is twice as better

[drpedics]

Really good for a high school.

[Morpunkthanu]

You guys rock my socks - anyone who says this number wasn't good doesn't know their ass from their elbow

[hprumchris]

not that good

at all

[crocostimpy]

Watch it again...

[Sagerious]

You're saying this was better than the Broadway Revival production??? I'm sorry this is great and all, but nowhere near the awesome caliber of Broadway. Good job though.

[crocostimpy]

Have you seen the 1995 Broadway revival clip?

[Sagerious]

yes I have, and I for one think it's absoulutely amazing. Greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.

[drpedics]

STFU

@crocostimpy This is way too fast for the tension of the song to properly build up. The energy is too low and the choreography is, dare I say it, high school. Not to mention that they take strange grace notes that ruin the general grace notes of the song. I don't know what you mean by its being better than the broadway revivals version. You can't say that Matthew Broderick brings it down or anything either, because he may be a little bit wooden at times but Finch is also not in Coffee Break.

[swirlyjello]

oh no...where's the coffee? ^-^ that play was very musical. my cousin, Rachel liked it way more than me...bleh

[MiyabibayiM]

I wish I could have been there to see this.

-love ya all
