It's kinda funny the lengths this school goes to in order to copy the Broadway productions of the shows they do.

MTI only licenses out the original version of the show, which does not have a dance break at 2:40. This school seriously transcribed and re-added that section of music just to copy the choreography there. Wow.

@kevkevshields This is your third crappy comment concerning this HS's musical theatre performances. It's beyond me what compels you to waste your time to make comments at all. Just move on! ;-}} Please police the clips of the other 100,000 high schools that clone Broadway shows.

@leojrevlis Just making sure any potential viewers know how entirely unoriginal this school's productions are.

@kevkevshields I don't judge a production's quality merely by "originality." A performance may be outstanding whether copied or original. After all, the orchestra must play the score note-for-note off the sheets, and the actors must recite the lines exactly from the pages. So, why not do "it" the best way possible - the Broadway way. How pompous it would be for a HS director to think that "he" could improve on Broadway's excellence!

Well, for what it's worth, that's what I think!! ;-}}}

Great singing! However, the audience is a bunch of barneys--the biggest laugh is the dumbest joke, the line of employees falling on top of each other.

[leojrevlis]

And FYI..

1 barney = 1 cryptic

@RollingStone1994 No. It's exactly the same as the Broadway revival production by Wayne Cilento

chorus = more rehearsal

Awesome production. I'm impressed. Who directed this? They should be directing on Broadway.

[RollingStone1994]

was that original choreography?

[leojrevlis]

Yeah, that kind of schtick always gets a laugh from the cryptics, just like tap-dancing in a pinwheel pattern always gets applause, no matter how lame it is.
