Fun fact: the actor who sings Love Thy Neighbor played Lord Farquaad in Shrek the Musical, so...versatility is strong in this one
I love Sheep the Musical lol
@@into_the_sketchiverse Yeah, thanks autocorrect for that masterpiece of a musical
Barbara: Everything ends well in musicals
Me: Hadestown has left the chat... haha
Hahahahahaha But technically there's always hope on the next performance right? (Fake hope, but oh well... xD)
*Hatchetfield has left the chat*
SO TRUE, that place is cursed hahahaha
@@Barbara2.0Hope never dies! Except if you're in Les Mis haha
Falsettos has left the chat
You should react to Fun Home if you don’t already know it! It’s a musical about lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel (most well known for creating the Bechdel Test) and her relationship with her father based off the autobiographical graphic novel of the same name, and it’s absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time.
Yes! It’s my favourite! Plus you don’t miss the story because there’s dialogue between the songs on the soundtrack
I wish I was able to see that show live, but it closed before I knew it existed. That doesn't mean I'll listen to the soundtrack 100 times over though. :)
Yeah I also wish Emma and Alyssa had more interactions, because they really don't have many in the show and Alyssa, as much as I love her, barely appears, so I'm hoping we get a bit more in the movie. But yeah I think if you see the thing, you'll like the Broadway actors a lot more, Barry actually has a lot of heart; but my favorites are Angie and Trent even tho there not as promintent, and I do think they're kinder since the beginning. I think you'll understand the plot a lot better with the film in general, and get ready to see some amazing dancing, just from the trailer the choreos look amazing and in the show they were insane (at least to me, but I don't really know how to dance lol)
But I'm glad you liked Emma so much!! She and Alyssa (and the whole show really) have a super special place in my heart as well as Caitlin Kinunnen and Izzy McCalla, and I hope their energy gets translated well into the movie. Also yeah Beth Leavel is just incredible and I can't wait to see how Maryl Streep does Dee Dee.
Lovely video as always! It just gave me all the energy I needed to study the whole morning so I can watch the film later! Also would love to see that reaction to Tonight Belongs to Us, cause it's one of my favorite songs from the soundtrack, if that's not a problem. Have a fantastic day and I hope you enjoy the movie
I'm watching the movie right now and will work on that missing reaction of Tonight Belongs to Us for Patreon ;)
Let me know what you think about the movie, would be good to hear an old fan's opinion hehe
Have a beautiful day yourself, lovely ❤
Have you read the book it’s completely Emma and Alyssa focused
I think it a tad too heavy considering they constantly throw indirect at Dee Dee and the Principle without being direct and I found the first person a little cringy
@@Barbara2.0 I loved it!!! I’m sad they cut a few songs but gosh I loved the focus on Emma and Alyssa on It’s Time to Dance and it was precious to see a room filled with so many different people! And Unruly Heart got to me a little 😭 Love Thy Neighbour was incredible!
They completely added the Barry’s mom subplot and I’m a little conflicted about it tbh. I probably compared it too much to the show but well I really liked it, I’ll totally be rewatching!
@@ajmalaika1287 omg I totally forgot about that, I listened to the sample of the audio book recording and then didn’t remember to check it out. I think I did hear it wasn’t the best yeah, but I’ll read it anyway thanks!
I was a bit frustrated about the song cutting at first as well, but then I realised having them in full wouldn't really add much to the plot anyway
I am completely in love with Emma to be honest. Her positivity despite all the hate she gets is so heartwarming and inspiring. What a lovely character
Whether you agree with it or not, a message of the show is that a single song is capable of achieving social change or people's attitudes ("Unruly Hearts", "Love thy Neighbour", "The Lady's Improving" etc.)
I’d love a reaction to the Musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. It’s based on the documentary Jamie - Drag Queen at Sixteen and it’s set in the North of England. Joyful and heart wrenching in equal measure.
YAY! The Prom is one of my favorite new musicals!
When Barbara casts the entire movie cast without knowing LOL!
Oh my lord! This was so cute, I loved how excited you got about this soundtrack. This was perfect timing, I just finished watching the movie. I agree that it's choice to have the focus centered on the Broadway stars and not the girls, but I don't really mind it, as it is sort of a 'feel good' musical. While the musical doesn't necessarily revolve around Emma, all the characters narratives revolves around her, so she' still the center of the story, if that makes sense. I loved this reaction, take care! Much love ❤
That's a good point, Cecilia! Glad you liked the reaction 😘
The live version of "Unruly Heart" is truly chills-inducing. The way each of the queer teens step up and share their voice and then join together from separate worlds but in one song makes me tear up. The recording on TH-cam actually has an audience member full-on weeping in the background.
one of my favorite shows ever omggg! just finished watching it on netflix with my mom and loved it!!
OMG, I love how enthusiastic you are for musicals! This video brought me as much joy as watching the movie "The Prom" did! I have the soundtrack on my daily playlist at work because it cheers me up! Except the sad parts! Did you miss "Tonight belongs to you!" and "Tonight belongs to you! Reprise!" which absolutely broke my heart!
Hey Rebecca! Thank you so much for the kind words
I see post: SCREAMS IN MUSICAL THEATRE NERD
I AM SOOO EXCITED YAY
Yaaaaaaay 😍❤
Ok YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR AGES I love the Prom so much also you should listen to Fun Home if you liked this musical now here is my long lists of comments/thoughts I had while watching this video (warning there is more than I originally thought):
1. I think the intro works because you need to build up sympathy for the Broadway actors but you don't need to be convinced to like Emma b/c unless you're a homophobic asshole you already feel sympathy for her and want her to get what she wants
2. Yes Just Breathe is when we first meet Emma and yes she is a wholesome bean who deserves the world
3. The reason the Acceptance Song is so close to the beginning is because the actors need to learn that just telling people to accept Emma isn't gonna work because it's the Midwest and is notorious for a Christian vale and just telling people to get over their hatred isn't gonna work
4. I mean I still find You Happened cute also its a needed song b/c you cant have a Prom musical without some fricking promposals
5. I've never thought about it before but I think there is a very small 60s vibe especially in You Happened
6. Your singing and dancing is adorable omg
7. We Look to You makes me miss Broadway soo much
8. Holy shit I like your interpretation that's incredible I never thought about it like that before
9. What happened to Tonight Belongs to You?
10. I'm honestly still upset that they cut Tonight Belongs to You reprise from the soundtrack b/c it's such a big story detail that you miss out on aka (kinda spoiler) Emma is given a fake prom and is devastated by that fact also it never fails to make me cry
11.There's a monologue that is before Zazz that basically goes into the story/explanation of what Zazz is
12. I mean I like that advice turn your shaking into jazz hands so no one knows how scared you are is honestly genius
13.I wish that would be an amazing life if that was the case
14. let's just say that the principal lost his fanboyness towards DeeDee and then gained it back after this song
15. yes it's also the song we can throw in the face of hypocritical Christians
16. ah yes welcome to the song on the soundtrack that breaks your heart into a million pieces after listening to it
17. the line "your father might come back" always makes me cry Izzy McCalla did an incredible job with this song
17. yes, yes Barry does (it's mentioned in an earlier scene that I wont spoil)
18. Headcanon: Barry went to Westerburg High and you can tear that from my cold dead hands
19. omg Caitlin Kinnunen sounds so good in Unruly Heart
20. your interpretations omg I love them so much
21. yes how is a spoiler but its a sweet scene if you know (also we needed a happy ending)
22. Don't worry the lesbian children get to dance and have the time of their lives
23. Honestly can that be the case Im pretty sure no one would really complain if it was a musical
24. Let us know what you think of the movie (I cant watch it due to not having Netflix)
3. That's a great point. The movie actually helped me understand how ironic the song is
6. I just couldn't control myself hahaha
7. SAME :,(
9. Unfortunately I had to cut it out because of a copyright claim, so I'll be sharing that bit on Patreon only
10. I didn't know there was a reprise until the movie and it broke me. I couldn't stop crying with the fake prom, that was too much
18. Hahaha I'm holding on to that now
20. Thank you! ^_^ I'm glad I'm not talking too much nonsense
24. I found it very cheesy and a lot could've been done better, but their goal was clearly not to make a masterpiece. It's supposed to just be a feel-good movie that is fun to watch, and that's what it is. Plus, I would watch anything with Emma in it, what a wonderful character
@@Barbara2.0 I feel the same way about the movie, not perfect, but still fun. And now I've got Love Thy Neighbor stuck in my head. :)
One of my favourites on the soundtrack, still one of my favourites in the movie
I can't wait for you to do "Come from away'
Ugh, time to silence my teacher and watch the video, again!
Hahahahaha ❤
Barbara! I have just rediscovered the musical "Come from Away" I forgot how amazing it is and I had hoped you had reacted to it, but you haven't yet! I recommend it highly!
Tou should do come from away if you haven't heard of it. Its really good
I am so excited to watch the movie escpically since it has whizzer in it, ( You have corrupted me, I am in love with falsettos now, I am literally walking in my house now screaming "I'm A lesbiaAAAn for next store and Four jEws iN a Room WEE and My parents hate me so thank you) But thank you for making this channel , your videos make me so happy and have introduced me to so many great musicals which I now have an unhealthy obsession for, so thanks for a musical year.
That's so sweet! I'm glad you're going on this journey with me, lots of new obsessions for me too. Thanks for your kind words, made my heart sing ❤
P.s.: don't know if you have seen the movie or not, but Andrew Rannells (aka Whizzer) is great! Hope you enjoy it 😊
I'm waiting to get off work so I can watch the movie so much I've been looking for to it for so long I discovered this soundtrack last year and I love it so much
Hope you enjoy it!
@@Barbara2.0 I did and just as I predicted unruly heart had me in tears and I didn't stop crying until the end
Omg I just discovered your channel and I am in love with the way you're so passionate when listening to musicals!!
I would recommend to you watching (or even reacting to!) Isabelle McCalla (the actresses who plays Alyssa) performing a version of Burn from Hamilton! They changed some pronouns for this version and it turned out so good it's became my favorite, and also Izzy slays it!
Keep up with the great content, Barb!
Welcome to the channel! :D And thank you so much for your kind words, pleasure to have you here
@@Barbara2.0 Hahahah the first thing I do after I finish to listen to a musical is stalk the cast too!!
And, yes, we're all in love with Izzy
YAY!! I'm so glad you listened/reacted to The Prom! It's one of my very favorite musicals and the entire Broadway cast is so phenomenal!!
YES! I also heard traits of samba in that song, glad I'm not the only one
I recommend listening to the soundtrack of the lightning thief. Especially if you like Percy Jackson
Working on it atm hihi
Yeah, this is definitely one of the shows that you can't understand by the soundtrack alone just because of how much the Broadway stars sing for performance and not necessarily as honest dialogue as well as what you said about the lesbians only really singing when they get the chance which isn't often in unsafe situations.
SJFHSKDHDJSJ NOT YOU CASTING THE MOVIE CORRECTLY BEFORE YOU EVEN KNEW
Okay, so there's a a *coigh cough* slime tutorial for this musical with dialogue and i think youd enjoy it because its hilarious and makes the soundtrack make alot more sense
You should listen to Bonnie and Clyde!! It only ran for a month back in 2011 but it's one of my favourite musicals and Jeremy Jordan is in it!! x
Love your channel, hope to be a longtime sub to you! Keep up the great work
That makes me so happy! I hope I survive this TH-cam thing too hahaha Welcome to the channel, my friend! 🥰
Listening to you react to hear it through that too unruly heart and Alyssa Greene has like destroyed me and the Hand this movie is going to be wonderful to get through
Recently came across this channel and definitely hooked! But I still can't get the idea out of my head that you should listen to "Everybody's Talking About Jamie" (it's also a musical). Personally, for me, the best record of the cast is the original, especially when the main role is played by - John McCrea. If you have already seen/heard this musical, I am very happy.
Yay welcome to the channel! 🥳 So happy you joined us. I don't know Everybody's Talking About Jamie and been getting some requests so I'll add it to the list. Thank you!
YASSSS. I SUGGESTED THIS
You should listen to Amélie it has Phillipa Soo in it who plays Eliza in Hamilton it is a really good and underrated musical
Also, the titles of some of the songs are amazing. Sister's Pickle. :) Just had to say it.
@@fiveelevenevan yes I love that song also I love how there is a song about figs
I would love to see you react to 35mm: A Musical Exhibition. It’s such an interesting musical about the stories contained in photographs, I genuinely think you’ll enjoy it.
I know one song from that show and I love it, so it should've been on the list already. I'll add now. Thank you! 😊
I know one song from that show and I love it, so it should've been on the list already. I'll add now. Thank you! 😊
The plot of the movie (and why the broadway actors are the main leads) is that their broadway show absolutely tanked and they see the news about the girls not being able to go to the dance, so they go to fix it purely for free publicity and show the world they are “good people” because everyone is labeled them as narcissistic. They slowly start to realize it’s wrong and instead of just hoping for publicity to make the world think they’ve changed they actually do :)
The prom and kiss me Kate were the first and only musicals I’ve seen
You should film your reaction to the movie!!!
...I watched this without having seen the Prom. I’m interested but I procrastinate on stuff like this for ages. I mean, I literally only got into musicals properly this year lol
React to Avenue Q with no context if you haven’t heard of it before 😏
Idk if you have seen or heard of this musical webseries, but I'd be interested in a reaction to Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. It was written by Joss Whedon and his family during the writers strike and stars Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day, and Nathan Fillion.
A few people have mentioned it, still need to check it out though ;) Thanks for suggesting it!
If you take recommendations I have a few
School of Rock - Sierra Boggess is in it, as well as the main actor from Beetlejuice
The Addams Family (US Tour version not Broadway version, you'll probably only find it on TH-cam but still better than Broadway)
SpongeBob SquarePants (Don't knock it til u try it haha)
Trail to Oregon
Always taking recommendations, thanks! :D
I've already done Beetlejuice, it was my first reaction on this series. All the others are on the list for next year! ;)
You should react to Anastasia The Musical. I think it's really underrated.
Please PLEASE please react to
Phantom of the opera (2004 movie cast)
Wicked
Les Miserables (2012 movie cast)
They are amazing!
Oh and you might also like the musical
Chicago
Not the movie versions! Do the classic ones! They’re so much better!
i love that her video has no dislikes because who wouldn’t dislike this video
But.. but "tonight belongs to us"? Homie, you drove right past it. It's one of the best songs from Act I
It was an exclusive reaction for Patreon ;)
I very much enjoy your content barb love ya lots
Thank you Charmaine, that means so much! ❤ And I'm so happy to have you on the channel xxx
Please please please please PLEASSEEE react to spies are forever. It is by tin can bros one of which is joey richter. You will never guess what it is about though. I don't think they say it enough (you will get this when you see it)
Hey Mia, will do, beginning of 2021 ;)
I've never seen the musical, but saw the movie today. Thought it was okay, but got the feeling it was probably better on the stage. I love the fact that this is a pro LGBT+ narrative which also isn't afraid to make fun of those who opportunistically use LGBT+ issues as PR for themselves. Also, the movie gave us Andrew Rannells singing "Love Thy Neighbor" and honestly that alone single-handedly justified its existence.
Can not agree more with that last part. Andrew smashed it!
Amazing! Amazing! Gosto de ver tua opinião! Amazing!
who else is marathoning reactions videos because it kinda feels like watching musicals with friends ahaha i'm so lonely help
also this is by far the best musical reaction channel on youtube, i'm looking forward to future videos!!
Wow Kat, this is too kind, thank you so much!!! 🥰 Hope the channel is helping you feel less lonely, I'm very happy you're here with us
I definitely haven't been doing that ....
You don’t really react to classics (at least not yet) but can I recommend A Chorus Line ITS REALLY GOOD
I'm going with what people ask for the most for now, but intending to get some classics in there too, so thanks for suggesting!
hey just want to say I'm really enjoying your channel I wonder if you could react to Fiddler On The Roof, it's a lot older but it's a favorite
Hey Spencer, welcome to the channel! :D I actually recently asked my Instagram followers about classic shows they would like me to react to and they mentioned Fiddler, so I'll probably do it at some point. Thanks for the suggestion 😘
Can you please listen to Jagged Little Pill? It's one of my all time favorites
if you love dee in the musical, you need to watch the movie, which you probably did by now, bc i love meryl as dee dee! ❤️🙏🏻
Oh yeah I've seen it 3 times now hehe Mostly for the music tbh, I've been obsessed with it since the reaction. Plus I love Emma with all my heart ❤
Meryl was fantastic as usual
My netflix subscription ends today and am not going to renew it, and not going to be able to see this today
Thank you.
You should show your reaction to the movie on TH-cam please🥰
I want to see you react to the book of mormon
It's on the list! ;)
So, now that you have (presumably) watched the movie, how did it go? The characters were definitely fixer-uppers so you got that remark right.
I was so happy they were playing exactly the characters I thought they would play! Hahaha
I have no shame and will copy and paste some of my thoughts from another comment: I found it very cheesy and a lot could've been done better, but their goal was clearly not to make a masterpiece, so that's fine. It's supposed to just be a feel-good movie that is fun to watch, and that's what it is.
The movie also confirmed I was missing quite a few plot points. A major one, the fake prom with that reprise of Tonight Belongs to You broke my heart in a million pieces.
Plus, I would watch anything with Emma in it, what a wonderful character
@@Barbara2.0 I agree on the movie not being one of the greats of the decade, but it's still a fun movie to watch, listening to the music and getting sentimental from the story. Music and choreography is still really good in movie form, and overall it is definitely doing its job of telling the same story as the musical. While the pacing, acting and writing bothered me sporadically, it's easy enough to ignore and enjoy just from how fun and beautiful the story it's trying to tell really is.
i just wanna throw school of rock in the mix because it has Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice before Beetlejuice) but its very hit or miss
I know I'm late to the discussion, but it has to be said: The musical is 1000 times better than the movie. The movie ruined the musical with a lot of unnecessary subplots, made the main story a subplot and cut scenes with Emma and Alyssa making us only know their relationship from the songs and nothing else. The Emma in the movie doesn't bring as much dept to the character as Caitlin Kinnunen did on and off Broadway, making me not relate to her as much and since my own coming out story is closely related to Emma and her journey, I felt robbed watching it. The only good thing about the movie is Ariana DeBose(whom I may or may not have gotten a crush on since watching the movie...).
That being said: Queer women are starved for representation where the representation doesn't die, so we gotta be thankful for whatever they'll give us, cuz it ain't much and far between.And both You Happened and Unruly Heart has changed my life, and for that I'll be eternally greatful
Havent seen either but I have heard love thy neighbor and have heard that the movie did that better
I think I like the plot of the book more cause it has a lot more focus on Emma and Alyssa as it’s from their points of view
But then again it's a little (very little) too much on Emma and Alyssas side too and had some controversy
Oh I didn't even know it was based on a book! Thanks for the info :)
Actually the book was made after based on the show
@@ajmalaika1287 Which was based on a real life event, too. Which is sad, but it helped make an incredible show happen. :)
I think is a great musical, but there are some problems. I like how Emma seems like a really happy person despise everything she's been through, I really enjoy her character, she and Alyssa really deserve more screen time.
But I like your interpretation about being the center of attention. Makes sense in a poetic way. That's why I like your channel, you always add your opinion, it's not just a flat reaction.
I'm in love with Emma. Her resilience is so inspiring and her personality so lovely. Such a beautiful character in many ways
Yeah my idea was for the channel to be a hybrid of reaction/critic review because one of my favourite things to do is talk about a show/movie for hours after I've seen it, so I wanted to bring that to the channel. Glad to know it worked out ^_^
Day 1 of asking Barbara to react to Love in Hate Nation
It’s a musical by Joe Iconis (creator of Be More Chill). It’s about girls in juvenile prison during the 60s. There’s no cast recording yet but there’s a video of their performance here on youtube.
Thanks lovely! I'll keep that one in mind for next year :)
Can you please do everyone’s talking about Jamie
May I reccomend Book of Mormon
Already scheduled for this year :)
You should heathers the musicalll
You would love it
I did the West End version. You'll find it if you go on my channel ;)
It’s a musical all will end well is the biggest lie I have ever heard in my life 😆
Biggest lie I've ever told myself haha
You skipped one of the songs. One thing is Universal
Unfortunately I had to cut out 'Tonight Belongs to You' because of copyright claims and released it exclusively on Patreon
@@Barbara2.0 ah ok well I just commented some other musicals you should react to! I like your reactions to musicals it’s fun!
Just watched the prom and while it was enjoyable enough, it was pretty bad sadly.
I say its a watch once, forget it exists forever type of show.
I’ve watched it 3 times already do I need help
@@tomventura9900 lmaoo samee
