So excited for this show!!! I've been following Laura since Bonnie and Clyde (miss that show) and Corey since Newsies and I am so happy they're leading together
iM SO EXCITED!! (except I'm in Australia and can't afford to fly to New York and see it when it finally comes out.. Oh well, gotta wait for the cast recording!)
I had the honor of seeing the first preview and the show is absolutely stunning and it's one of my favorite shows now! Definitely see it if you have the chance!!
Remember when this was all we had of Bandstand? *Sigh* remember when this was the video where I feel in love with the song Nobody yep I remember that XD XD
This looks like a great show! A lot of people are commenting on the entirely white cast, but there are entirely POC casts on Broadway right now that are amazing, so there isn't really a difference.
I just saw this show in theaters and it was enjoyable I was just very confused by the lack of black people.... considering it’s a jazz band in the 40s... idk I’m just thinking about history. Also did no black people fight in WW2?
Someone explain to me why they're drawn to this piece- besides the two leads, which based on this video, frankly, I'm quite underwhelmed by... Also, if they're doing a musical about the 1940s jazz/bigband scene, they should have found singers whose voice had some flavor from they era. Corey and Laura have such typical, clear, MT voices that it pulls us out of that world, in my opinion. They're both wonderfully kind people, just wrong for the piece in my opinion.
Mariana Barbosa do you see this choreography?? Do you hear the amazingly wonderful jazzy beat of the music?? That's what makes it amazing, not just Corey and Laura
Your comment certainly makes it seem that you have not actually seen the show. So, yes, you can comment on this particular video and what is contained in it, but it's more than a bit too far to opine that Osnes and Cott are "just wrong for the piece." You haven't seen the piece. And, while this video gives glimpses of various numbers, in rehearsal, without sets, lights, costumes, styling, and the flow of an entire show/story, from beginning to end, it does not represent the experience of seeing the actual, entire show. For myself, having not seen the show, what first attracted me (besides some extremely positive opinions and some reluctantly negative ones, all expressed on a theater discussion site, by discerning folks, whose opinions I value) was the performance they did on the Tony Awards show, and then a few clips here and there. But, having finally gotten the cast recording and listened to it several times, the music and performances are what really intrigue and move me. From reports/reviews of the actual show, it seems pretty evident that BANDSTAND had problems, and didn't quite gel successfully as a piece. Nevertheless, I really wish I could have seen it, and I hope it has a future being performed, and maybe even with more work that might rectify somewhat the elements that didn't work.
I’m drawn to it because of the representation. As someone with ptsd, minor ocd and a lot of problems that are shown through these characters it’s nice to see people like me. People who are afraid of loosing the good things they have and people who use music to cope. The music is beautiful along with the choreo, the actors do an amazing job with being realistic with their characters. I haven’t seen such an honest show in a very long time. And I have only heard of Corey and Laura before this, I’m definitely not listening because of them
well.. I mean, it's 2017 but the musical is based in 1945. The show is about the service men who came home from WW2. Not surprised about the male leads.
CandyReviewer4427 hundreds of thousands of people of color served in the military during World War II. And this kind of music and dance was invented by black performers. So, no, it's not particularly historically accurate.
TheMrGothics if no people of color auditioned it's because the production team called for only white people, no other reason. Hundreds of people attend calls for Broadway shows. They are not all white.
Best pairing since Laura and Jeremy Jordan. FIRST!
Rose Taylor YHHHHH
Corey and Laura work together so much better imo
So excited for this show!!! I've been following Laura since Bonnie and Clyde (miss that show) and Corey since Newsies and I am so happy they're leading together
Grace A YHHHHH
Grace A sameee omg
Grace A saaame
The Double Bass player's facial expressions and little dances are so me!
Please have Laura do more behind the scenes stuff her cinderella vlogs are my favorite!!!!!!
monkeygirlhc97 YES YES YES!!!!
they both had some pretty snazzy behind the scenes vlogs i wouldn't mind seeing both...
monkeygirlhc97 YEAAASS OR COREY LIKE HE DID IN NEWSIES
shes doing one for bandstand right now!
I've been watching!
if corey cotts in this, i'm definitely going to see this :) i've seen him in newsies 7 times so i feel bandstand is going to be fantastic
It’s funny to see how Right This Way has such a a different feel in rehearsal than what it ended up being
My crops are florushing, my skin is clear, the bees are saved-
IM SOOOOO EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW! PLEASE COREY AND LAURA DO VLOGS! IT WOULD SLAAAY!!
I love this, but I can't wait for clips of the live show, where they're mic'd and you can hear their voices over the music a whole lot better.
Saw the production at Paper Mill and I loved it! So exciting to see the changes made for the Broadway production.
iM SO EXCITED!! (except I'm in Australia and can't afford to fly to New York and see it when it finally comes out.. Oh well, gotta wait for the cast recording!)
Same here
I loved this show at the Paper Mill. I am excited to see Laura as Corey take on these roles again.
I had the honor of seeing the first preview and the show is absolutely stunning and it's one of my favorite shows now! Definitely see it if you have the chance!!
I WISH I could see this. Corey Cott is one of my FAVORITES
Great show, can't wait to see it...
2:35 Who says Corey Cott doesn’t have enough feeling? That moment is so cute!!!
Morgan Marcell :) (AKA the Female Hamilton!!!) she's in there several times throughout, but pretty visible at 5:26 on the right in the front
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW
They were all absolutely fabulous to see live- I fortunately got to see them off broadway at the Papermill playhouse
The harmonies are brilliant
So I'm just saying, but the cast recording for this better come asap.
One of the best shows to ever hit Bway!😍
no wait! i need a video of this is life!!!! please!
I have never clicked on a video faster!! Seeing bandstand on march 31st!!
Katherine Lindsley luckyyyyy
Katherine Lindsley i just saw your playlists I've never related to a person SO well
beautiful songs
MY QUEEEEN THANK YOUUU
That harmony on Right This Way 😭
Looking good!
Remember when this was all we had of Bandstand? *Sigh* remember when this was the video where I feel in love with the song Nobody yep I remember that XD XD
okay but morgan is kILLING IT 💯💯💯
i literally only found out about this show because of morgan and i would literally go see it just for her
ok i watched this mostly just to see morgan marcell in the ensemble but now i wanna see it for real
I keep getting distracted by looking at Laura's LaDucas😂
Davy swinging his bass into the air at the end of Nobody stresses me out every time
omg coreyyy🥰🥰
Finally!!!!
Maysaa Alikhan YHHHHH
yay❤❤❤❤
The double bass player looks like Brian Blessed during his Blackadder days.
sing it army boys!
Can Corey play piano? Or did he learn for the role? Either way, that's cool!!!!
He learned for the role! I hear he picked it up quite well!
Grace A yeah. Would love to go see him in it
Bailey Bieganek I mean he'd kinda be a hypocrite if he couldn't read music 😂
@@lucygregory1416 "In fact, I'd be better, 'cause I play piano and he can't read music, the FAKE" Is that the line you're referring to? XD
Omg who is the choreographer
This looks like a great show! A lot of people are commenting on the entirely white cast, but there are entirely POC casts on Broadway right now that are amazing, so there isn't really a difference.
Oh no
All I know is that, if I'm ever casting something, I'll do it based on the performance alone. Not exclusive to anyone.
That's not how it works but yknow you have to consider the setting (1940's) so it makes sense that it is an entirely white cast
Is anyone else getting CMIYC vibes?

I'm honestly quite confused too, is this a revival?? an adaptation from a movie?? or are people just atracted to this just because of the leads??
Mariana Barbosa do you see this choreography?? Do you hear the amazingly wonderful jazzy beat of the music?? That's what makes it amazing, not just Corey and Laura

This musical was so robbed
All white men and one girl amongst the main characters? It's 2017, I'll pass.
nicoleloveswalt yeah it's definitely a shame
nicoleloveswalt or no black people were auditioning for any part so they have no choice but to hire all white cast?

Girl don't close your eyes! I'm not gonna pay $100s to see your closed eyes!!
Taylor Haggerty That's mean....you are paying to see the Broadway superstar that is Laura Osnes
Taylor Haggerty wtf
Katie Carlson oh please.
i just saw the show last night. the part where her eyes are closed is because she is supposed to be nervous.
