There are 2 kinds of theatre kid. There’s the t.k who throws a tantrum bcz they don’t have the lead part, and then there is the t.k who has seen every MUSICAL EVER. I’m #2
I remember that in school, my classmates were making a musical. I was the one who hated all of the decisions they made (like casting bad singers as the main characters because they didn’t put up auditions), but never spoke up because I wasn’t the one in charge.
I'm a newer theater kid (I've only done one play) and the only one that relates to me is 1:52 Edit: it's 3 months later and now all of these relate to me
Ok but why did I actually relate to the Hamilton part 😂 I'm the homeschooled theater kid who has to SIGN UP for a play and the type to just already memorize all of my character's songs and then just practice songs from other musicals you will probably never even do 🥲
I play guitar so I want to try to make this joke for other fellow guitarists to relate to. Me: Practice makes perfect! I can totally get this! Also me when my brain doesn't listen to what I said 0.001 seconds ago: How dare you play the wrong chord! Your darn fingers are in the wrong spot. Play the right fret! Strings are out of tune, let me just tune it back. Oops! String breaking time! Tell me, relatable?
I had friends who went to high school with Lynn Manuel Miranda, one of whom is a theater kid and they probably knew each other. We probably would have gone to the same parties... if I had been cool enough to go to parties... 🎉
I was theatre kid adjacent in high school (pit orchestra ftw) and I don't think the theatre kids geeked out about Hamilton. They were much more eager to do impromptu presentations on obscure musicals you've never heard of.
My day is complete. Thank you for this highly entertaining, highly heartfelt short movie. The first time I tried to get a a role in a play and become a theatre kid, I got cast as ensemble
As a stage crew kid with many theater kid friends I can confirm they do this also do people know that trees are not people unless They have a singing role and there not just there to be a tree right
As a theatre kid, I can confirm that rehearsals are often until 10pm. Also, as a theatre kid, it has come to my attention that my local theatre has a LEGITIMATE SHREK MUSICAL. Which I'm terrified to even think of doing. But I'm sure it's funny-
I can’t help that we’re like that we just are like somebody asked me to grab something I do a performance, and then I give it to them, and my friend is like do you want to get some ice cream Saturday? No, I can’t get ice cream. Because I have I have nutcracker practice 😤
I can confirm this is how we act. I just started Aladdin. I am also gonna see wicked soon. One tip you missed the fact that we quote lines of music or dialog from musicals even if we are having a perfectly normal conversation with someone who doesn't know musicals all that well. I also did 4 other shows before Aladdin
I’m getting ready for the opening a musical im in. I am Wednesday in the Addams family and I am really scared. This is perfect timing and it made me laugh so hard :D
As someone who does theatre but not musical theatre I can confirm this is why I don’t do musical theatre. While it’s mainly because I can’t sing. But also this.
The vocal warm up brought a tear to my eye. Bet you’ll make an amazing background tree too!
thanks, i'm honored to be the background tree
@@EliseEcklundI have to say, there was someone in our last play who had that reaction and everyone wants them to stop doing theater
@@EliseEcklund Every role is important!
As a theatre kid, I can confirm this is exactly how we are
me too
could not say it better myself
Yup!
Same
Omg same😅😂
As a theater kid, I feel very represented in the projects that Elise puts out
this is so freaking true i was in a play in october and me and my friends went to ihop🤣
Agreed
Yeah like it’s my entire mayor so this was halarious 😆
Yeah
There are 2 kinds of theatre kid. There’s the t.k who throws a tantrum bcz they don’t have the lead part, and then there is the t.k who has seen every MUSICAL EVER. I’m #2
As a theatre kid I can confirm that we are exactly like this and I truly appreciate someone that finally understands us🙏
Funny!! 😂😂😂 I'm in theater but I'd say only a few of these things are true for me!
Yeee
Yeah
This is is exactly how we are like, NOT EVEN KIDDING
Exactlyyyyy😂!!
"All You Need To Know About Being A Theater Kid In Under Three Minutes"
Fr😂😂
as a theatre kid that’s in an upcoming Seussical musical, this is totally 100% accurate.
that's wild, i'm in an upcoming seussical performance too, lol
My first show was suessical kids, so that makes me happy~
@@vicent_doesnt_care we’re high schoolers doing Seussical JR lmao
Same.
My first show was Seussical! What role are you? Break a leg!!!
I remember that in school, my classmates were making a musical. I was the one who hated all of the decisions they made (like casting bad singers as the main characters because they didn’t put up auditions), but never spoke up because I wasn’t the one in charge.
As a theater kid who is about to have the opening night of my show tonight, this came at the perfect time and is 100% accurate. Thank you Elise!
hope it went well
I had opening night same day!!! What play did you do?
I also had one!!!
@@JustMeandMyPaperDragons Secret Garden! I played Lily :)
@@tomjohnson4922 It went awesome!
I’m no theater kid but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this hilarious video. Keep it up!
That Vibrato is amazing.
THANKS
5 seconds in and it’s already very accurate. Had a couple theater kid friends and they said that exact thing in the exact same way, sing songy and all
The dog loved your performance so much it had to take a bow!
the dog was a paid actor
This is 100% accurate 😂 thank you so much for showing it to the world! 💗
The dancing to give someone something so simple is 100% accurate (I say this as a theater kid)
I'm not gonna lie, that vibrato was actually amazing.
thank you so much
As a Theatre kid, you are the only person that has us 100% accurate… you literally can’t get better than this 😂😂
As a theater kid, I also feel very amazing that Elise called us out. Wish me luck on Suessical!
You being able to do all of these things without even snickering truly is a talent lmao
0:10 Love how there isnt a background tree number 1 2 3 and 4
I hope you're having a great holiday. Thanks for all the joy you bring to everybody
I'm a theatre kid, and this is 100% correct
I’m not a theater kid, but MAN THIS A MASTERPIECE!!!😂😂😂
Same
I'm a newer theater kid (I've only done one play) and the only one that relates to me is 1:52
Edit: it's 3 months later and now all of these relate to me
the apple juice handing was just magnificent never have I seen such beauty
I think she would make a great background tree 😢😅
thanks
Ye :D she wont even need a costume
😂
2:19 (DDLC flashbacks)
The "Sound of Music" bit was actually solid vocals 😶
THANK YOU
true
🥰🥰@@EliseEcklund
This is completely accurate amazing video Elise 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻
Good to see you, Elise. Hope you and your family are well.
Ok but why did I actually relate to the Hamilton part 😂
I'm the homeschooled theater kid who has to SIGN UP for a play and the type to just already memorize all of my character's songs and then just practice songs from other musicals you will probably never even do 🥲
every single word you just said is literally me 😅
Don’t forget memorising every word i the script
You just described me
So much talent elise. Outstanding.
Still bummed that you didnt get the Shrek role though
as a band kid, choir kid, and theatre kid, i see this as an absolute win
I play guitar so I want to try to make this joke for other fellow guitarists to relate to.
Me:
Practice makes perfect!
I can totally get this!
Also me when my brain doesn't listen to what I said 0.001 seconds ago:
How dare you play the wrong chord! Your darn fingers are in the wrong spot. Play the right fret! Strings are out of tune, let me just tune it back. Oops! String breaking time!
Tell me, relatable?
heyy same!
I was in choir for about 4 years in school
Great video, Elise....love the Sooby-Doo sound effects.
As someone going to be in a musical this is exactly how theatre kids are
So true!! And as a theatre kid doing a Lin-Manuel Miranda medley and a Lion King musical, you did a good job representing us 😂
2:11 SHE FINALLY SMILED
omg ur actually right
OOOOO SHE HAS TO EXPLAINNNN
Being a theater kid, I can confirm the accuracy of this video
I had friends who went to high school with Lynn Manuel Miranda, one of whom is a theater kid and they probably knew each other. We probably would have gone to the same parties... if I had been cool enough to go to parties... 🎉

Fake comments part 1
I was theatre kid adjacent in high school (pit orchestra ftw) and I don't think the theatre kids geeked out about Hamilton. They were much more eager to do impromptu presentations on obscure musicals you've never heard of.
I feel seen
The 30 minute presentation hit me hard!!! Also this is literally me especially the MOM LOOK WHAT I LEARNED AT REHEARSAL and then I fail to do so
2:27 that was the best thing I ever heard in my freaking life
The dance number is so accurate 🤣🤣🤣
1:20 YAY WICKED SLAY!!!
YESS
Yes, and😊
Thank you for representing us theatre kids!!!💀
1:02 My hero
1:21 first of, that is so my sis
2nd my sis is singing that 24/7 and it gets in my head and on my nerves 😭😭😭
As a theatre kid, this is 100% accurate
2:18 THE DDLC BACKGROUND IS EVERYTHING
That dog was truly a great actor. Also i think you will make a great tree :D❤
You are the spitting image of my therapist! Now I go to the sessions and laugh at her. Thank you
100% accurate especially the Hamilton and defying gravity ✨✨
She smiled in this video! 2:13 😂
This is the most accurate representation of a theater kid! Coming from a theater kid herself 😅
2:11 No, this can't be... SHE SMILED! Ladies and Gentleman I Announce ELISE *SMILED AND LAUGHED*
Yeah I know a theatre kid, Elsie just knows how to represent people so well
1:41 Its like she is reading my soul 😂😂😂
My day is complete. Thank you for this highly entertaining, highly heartfelt short movie.
The first time I tried to get a a role in a play and become a theatre kid, I got cast as ensemble
2:31 I love this because I was in the sound of music and I sang the high part. I was Gretl in the high school play!
Never forget The Cup Song that someone would attempt in between rehearsals
This made my day tysm Elise!
Yo, that kid at the very end was IMPRESSIVE! Elise did alright I guess
2:18 brings back memories of the Decembers I spent doing work packets while sitting on gym floor...
As a stage crew kid with many theater kid friends I can confirm they do this also do people know that trees are not people unless They have a singing role and there not just there to be a tree right
Thank you this is so true I am a theater kid and this is what theater kids do!!
1:40 whaaaaaat we would never
Apparently, my schools production is having the title “SHREK THE MUSICAL” as 2024’s production plan and will be performed during the concert 😂
I know so many theater kids that this is just too accurate
I’ve never been in theater before, but I SWEAR that is basically a more unhinged version of me 😂
No but actually I’m a dancer and I do that exact same thing in the kitchen. Every step is ballet. So true
As a theatre kid, I can confirm that rehearsals are often until 10pm. Also, as a theatre kid, it has come to my attention that my local theatre has a LEGITIMATE SHREK MUSICAL. Which I'm terrified to even think of doing. But I'm sure it's funny-
💀
As a theatre kid with a show coming up, this is so relatable!
2:12 SHE SMILED! SHE IS SO PRETTY SMILING! (she is also stunning not smiling but she looks so good when she’s smiling too ❤)
Dont forget the random theatre kids singin Hamilton, mean girls n Heather's through the hallways
Your videos are fantastic! You are so unique, you stand out from everybody else!
OMG i saw her smileeeeeee
Its so pretty dont worry
at the exact time on the vid
2:12
Christmas comes early with this video thank you. Always get happy when I see a video from you
As someone who went to high school, I can confirm they do indeed have theater kids.
YES!! Thank you Elise for making this ✨masterpiece✨! Too acurate!
As a theater kid that literally had our closing show today, I was like "Oh shit wait do I do that?"
The Harry Styles cutout in the background at vocal warm up😂😂😂
yes.
so true 0:50
I can’t help that we’re like that we just are like somebody asked me to grab something I do a performance, and then I give it to them, and my friend is like do you want to get some ice cream Saturday? No, I can’t get ice cream. Because I have I have nutcracker practice 😤
As a theater person I relate
glad u can relate
I can confirm this is how we act. I just started Aladdin. I am also gonna see wicked soon. One tip you missed the fact that we quote lines of music or dialog from musicals even if we are having a perfectly normal conversation with someone who doesn't know musicals all that well. I also did 4 other shows before Aladdin
2:40
the actual video: 10 pm
The captions: 1 pm
LOL good way to end a week is by watching one of these videos , Thank You
Elise has the most wholesome cursing.
Why is this so true though- I can confirm this is how theatre kids act like because I have a friend who’s a theatre kid.
I’m getting ready for the opening a musical im in. I am Wednesday in the Addams family and I am really scared. This is perfect timing and it made me laugh so hard :D
As someone who does theatre but not musical theatre I can confirm this is why I don’t do musical theatre.
While it’s mainly because I can’t sing. But also this.
This is the best thing I’ve seen today!🤣❤️
Woah. I have no words. As a lifelong theatre kid this is just too accurate 🫡 I feel appreciated now, thank you 🫶✨
I wish I had a friend like elise 😄
This is fr how i act everyday. The speaking on vocal rest part is so accurate lol 😂
As a theatre kid, I agree:,]
I have a Theatre Kid as a friend and this is really accurate
THEATER KID FOREVER!!
2:18 dang, as a ddlc fan I wasn’t expecting to see the literature club backround in a video making fun of theatre kids XD
as a theater kid i think this is a masterpiece
2:12 the Harry cardboard cutout
