there's another bit on another digital ticket going around somewhere and joey's just like "my vocal coach says i breath at the wrong times" a true masterpiece
Everyone’s asking for Working Boys and Santa Claus is Going to High School, I’m still waiting for Wagons,Whiskey, and Women: One General Store Guy’s Journey Down The Oregon Trail!
They went with the alternate title! Unfortunately General Store Man was robbed of the lead, and it was given to that bitch Daniel Radcliffe. What a shame.
@@charlotteemily22 Nah making each other crack is the best. Not least cos sometimes you get some great material like an extra joke or an idea for a new scene 😉
He improvised this part every night with something different and since Jamie was supposed to be hiding her face any way she would just bury her face in his back and laugh and that’s why he almost cracked for a sec cuz he could feel her laughing.
I just ADORE the look on Jeff's face. That's the look of a man who adores his talented friend and is SO proud of him, but at the same time how dare he improv a bit funnier than the things he, the writer, writes
I've only now learned that "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" is a play which Darren Criss replaced Daniel Radcliffe in and I truly think that's the funniest and cutest reference
It's scripted improv. That scene is improvised every night, so while it is improv, they already know it will be improvised. So still really impressive, but they're all ready for something.
@@SageShadows I'm so sorry! That reply wasn't meant for this comment I just messed up when I was going through them all because I had so many recently. That reply was actually meant for another comment that's been deleted!
My favorite thing about this show in particular was that over the course of the run it just got longer and longer and longer. Absolutely chaotic. What a great show.
@@emilyetc.6547 when Joey says "How to Succeed in Business without really trying" - - that's a Broadway musical that Darren starred in around the time the Trail to Oregon was in live theaters
@themedia Radcliffe originated the role in the HTSIBWRT revival which is why he performed at the Tony’s. Darren was one of the chosen step-ins after Daniel left!
So this one time during a play this guy had a horn and the sound crew played a sound affect for it (he wakes everyone up by playing it) so he set it down on a table that an actor is by and as he walks away the trumpet sound plays. He whips around runs up to the actor next to the trumpet and goes, “were you palyin my trumpet?!?” And now that’s like the biggest inside joke in drama at my school
At my school in the music man zanneta didn’t come out in time when they were going on a date so he asked the actors in the background if they knew where she was and the guy gave a whole improv speech about how he shouldn’t try to date the mayors daughter and “there are plenty of fish in the sea” it was at a dress rehearsal o it was only in front of the cast and crew, but it was hilarious because we all knew that wasn’t supposed to happen!
I still think best improv I've seen was an actress in my local production of hairspray getting hit in the face with a ball mid-line and playing it off.
One night when my school did Guys and Dolls, our lead actress forgot the words to a song halfway through it. Like, all the remaining words. She just improvised the rest, playing into the fact that her character was drunk, and made it through. It was absolutely insane.
I really love how Jeff almost breaks character at Joey’s improv response. It’s like he’s trying to keep it together and at the same time he looks proud of Joey. 😂😂❤
I so agree about Jeff's singing. He is using his natural range, which is great because he sounds so much better than when he does the whiney stuff like in What do you want, Paul.
@@sarahkinsey5434 I agree - some of the stuff he did in Twisted was weird but it suited his character. He then took something that people likes in one show and presumed they would like it if he did it for everything
trail to oregon is so iconic. i feel like it has the most recorded bloopers of all the starkid shows. this is the golden era of starkid imo, when they were just theater kids messing around on stage and being absolutely stupid and it wasn't about quality. i mean don't get me wrong i love that they've expanded and gotten more talented over the years. but trail to oregon is just this pocket dimension of transcendental theater kid goofiness that i'll never get over.
I was in a play and my line was the one before the music turned in and I had a solo at first. The music was having a problem and I started walking around (I was the bad guy) and I kept looking at the audience and said ‘You thought that there was gonna be music, now didn’t you?’
According to the drama club alumni in my school, once in the drama club an actor was supposed to shoot a blank in a gun duel, but someone loaded it with an actual shot. Thankfully, they were able to notice it before it was time to pull the trigger, so the actor played it off like the gun wasn’t loaded and did a whole improve scene on how the gun was not good enough for the supposed “best shot in the west” and had them give him a different gun. It was all super smooth and didn’t feel even a bit out of place. Wish I could’ve been there to see it.
Ohhhh boy having a real gun with blanks pointed at an actor is so wildly against the rules in professional theatre let alone school shows this gives me anxiety
I'll never not love this moment. This was the first Starkid musical I ever saw, and it sold me on both the channel as a whole and Joey, because I've become thoroughly obsessed with both ever since.
i was tracy in a production of hairspray and started a quick change before it was time. i had to go onstage right away, and while i panicked in the back, my lovely cast mates managed to improvise the funniest scene. the actress who played mrs. turnblad ran around the stage yelling “where’s my daughter???” because it was right out of the jail scene. to this day i am so thankful that they were there to back me up.
I still think the best bit of improv was in a play I saw in high school. One of my friends was cast as the lead, and in one scene, he gives a pearl necklace to the love interest. It was closing night, and the necklace broke. He brushed it off very well, but the funny part was later. During an entirely different scene, something else broke. A broom I think. And Brian goes “first the pearls, now this?” And it was very funny.
I can't tell whether Jamie was hugging him as a character or just genuinely trying to make him feel better. Probably because I've never seen the full show.
I love when performers go 'nope! nope.' as a response to fucking up or something. It's so funny and doesn't break flow and I've started using it myself. It's so helpful!
During Wizard of Oz, after the Cowardly Lion’s “my father took me up on a high mountain” speech (bear in mind he’s holding Toto up like Rafiki), all the other characters dropped to their knees and started singing “Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba!” From the Lion King. They re-enacted the beginning of circle of life!
I'm so bad at improv but my greatest moment was when I was in middle school. We were doing Huckleberry Finn. And I got the lead, Huck. An interesting fact is that Huckleberry hates wearing or being proper, so he got a song about his much he hates wearing shoes and how theyre a sin to the earth and whatnot. During the first night, the song wouldn't come on for the tech team and I, in a state of mild panic, tried to make a joke and just went "shoes, right?" I continued for a tad bit afterwards but I got the audience to laugh at the first line and that's all that matters
not on stage, but in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" Matt Damon's character rambles on about a childhood memory in a lot of detail to Tom Hank's character. You can actually see Tom Hanks looking off camera for a second to Stephen Spielberg as if to say "wtf is going on" because Matt improvised the whole thing.
My favourite is when during a show one of our actors collapsed side stage during a chaotic chase scene,so me and my friend had to improvise half this heavily choreographed section to make it look natural...
the first time i saw joey's singing one from trail to oregon i thought the voice crack was the goof, not the improv afterward. it took me watching like three different versions to get it 😂
Spiderman turn off the dark, halfway through the preview that critics went to right at the confrontation between Spiderman and green goblin the stage manager said and hold, for technical difficulties. Reeve went over to drink goblins champagne. Patrick Page as a last second quick thinking said. “Y-you better watch yourself with that champagne boy, you’re gonna be flying soon and I hear people drop off.” Or something like that. The house came down. Best improv.

I wish I'd had access to it when I made the video
we love that
I can see the adorable mannerisms in his face
The soundtrack has him saying "I know you just inspired me" or something
I love how Joey just smirks at Jeff after like he k n o w s Jeff is breaking it's so funny
to be fair he could also probably hear/feel jaime absolutely losing it behind him
@@caspercascade4623Yeah you can see her shaking behind him
I rescind my prior statement
Jamie's bonnet bobbing as she silently cracks gets me every time.
Yep, me too
*gasp*
I thought she was whispering to him for so long 😂
And her patting his chest like 'there there' or 'good job, buddy.'

When I showed this to my little bro for the first time he thought it was Whitney Houston! ;)
Me when trying to hit a note while belting
I love how he says "in *west siide sstory*"
i had no idea it was improv lmao
I thought that was scripted? You're telling me he was actually expected to hit that note? Lmaoooo
"You'd be a good ensemble" says the guy who's literally the entire ensemble of Trail to Oregon.
I love Joey.
In the studio recordings Joey says, "You were really an inspiration to me," it's adorable.
Kick it up a Notch Awwwww
I love how during when joeys saying hed played Tony, jeffs look just communicates "what the fricken frickity frick are you doing"
It's almost like he was worried he was gonna start singing or something
He should have it would have been magnificent
The best improv is when they try to crack other actors 😂😂
Unless it's you they're trying crack!
i do that to my fellow actors all the time
they would hate me but they’re obliged to love me
@@charlotteemily22 Nah making each other crack is the best. Not least cos sometimes you get some great material like an extra joke or an idea for a new scene 😉
Joey Richter is a gift to the world and deserves so much love.
And that is what you call a fact
He deserves nothing less than all the money and adoration in the world
@@QteaTheSwag Accurate.
@@charlotteemily22 He's just... he's great.
I heard in the comment section of another video that they improv a different thing every time they do this scene but I haven't fact-checked it
That's what I was thinking!
Yep, I believe that's the case but I don't have clips of all the shows so I'm not sure
If they release this one to be performed by other troupes it will presumably be noted in the script if it's imrpoved.

You can see Jaime’s reaction just from her hands.
the smile that creeps onto his face after “it’s like big fish small pond but i was proud” is just amazing
in conclusion, joey is a legend
That was just the introduction to his awesomeness
We been knew
My fav improv from starkid is when Joey can't get the poster off the wall
BloxyGacha_Katmc it’s stuck on with magic!
that's not improv. that was scripted (it's very well acted)

*Business majors have entered the chat*
So let me get this straight: everything up to and including the botched note was scripted, just the dialogue after was improv right?
Yeah that's right
I thought none of its scripted. Its only if he messes up
MegaSocky no the mess up is scripted, Joey can easily hit that note.
@@amberpage7936 he can absolutely hit it. The man channeled Mercury in Sidekick

I so agree about Jeff's singing. He is using his natural range, which is great because he sounds so much better than when he does the whiney stuff like in What do you want, Paul.

@@halfpintrr, I tend to be the person that works well with improv. It makes for a ton of giggles in the wings!
I would honestly pay so much to just watch Joey Richter and other starkids just improvising.
Choose our Destiny is an improv thing with Joey, Lauren, Brosenthal, Corey (Lubowich), and Ashley Skidmore (not a Starkid but still)

as a character bc the failed note is scripted
Jamie just holding onto Joey like that the entire time. One day I hope to be that comfortable with someone.
Honestly, yeah. Reminds me of when she went “And you have to be my Slave for a day!”
And literally everyone lost it, but Joe played it off.
That bit wasn't entirely made up - Lauren said it one rehearsal so they decided to put it in
