just over a week ago, i performed as ti moune. it was my first lead role and from the beginning i thought i wouldn't be able to hit the notes and pull off playing such an amazing role. Without the ti moune in this production, i wouldnt have been able to do as well as i did. if you are somehow still in contact with her Katelyn, please tell her that without her, i wouldnt have been able to realise that it doesnt matter if i dont hit the notes, or if i muck up somehow, because ti moune is a person that embraces the mistakes in life. so for anyone who takes on the role of ti moune, get ready to participate in the best musical of your life. because without the ti moune in your production Katelyn, i wouldnt have understood how grateful i was, to join the line of all the incredible women that play the role. So thank you, Ti Moune in Katelyns production, i will miss playing ti moune along side you dearly.
why is no one talking about how talented the girl playing agwe is? even though she is female and normally the part is male, I think her voice was beautiful and rain was soooooo good.
I’m playing Andrea in our schools production :) we just started rehearsals Also: the girl playing erzulie is so pretty i- AND HER VOICE AHH Rain was amazing Agwe has a flawless vibrato Papa ge’s sass is unreal Mama will provide was a whole show stopper. Ti moune’s voice was so sweet! Tonton and mama were such amazing singers!
Couple of hours ago I was depressed to watch for the 1st time "Junie B Jones the Musical" - annoyingly stupid empty froth that children should not be required to waste their talent on. So glad that I later found this as an antidote - a meaningful, moving production VERY well done. Thank you.
This production was great! Our director told us to look this up so we know how the story goes and flows, and to use this as an example for our own production. I'm Mama btw, and I very excited, we started rehearsal last week and I can't wait for us to play it on the big stage! Thanks for posting this so we can get a visual of it!
I watched the first thirty seconds and when I saw Papa Ge I swear to God I literally yelled out: "WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS THAT" Like holy crap that costume... Oh my god 😂😂😂
NaturesGem AJ I tried out for Rafiki in the lion king junior and of course I got a lioness but I still had a ton of fun. Probably more fun then I would have had if i had gotten Rafiki
DJMangafIMK Yes! I am having so much fun in the ensemble! While it would have been fun being Asaka I still love being villager #1. I even had the first dress rehearsal today!
I watched this when I found out my school was doing this play. Honestly, it made me develop VERY high expectations for my teacher. This production was the reason I auditioned for a villager, and I got Gatekeeper! Beautiful work, you are an inspiration to all kids. Thank you for all of your videos. Sorry I'm telling you my life story. Lol
Okay but Agwe papa ge and Asaka were phenomenal; definitely made for their roles Ti-Moune on the other hand sounded like she constantly needed to clear her throat. Idk but her voice was very offputting
I’m villager number three and the breezes! I’m so excited for the show! We only have two weeks to learn everything so I’m watching the plays and listening to the music.
Lol the summer acting camp ended we did the shows and now I’m sad. Imma miss the casts and the directors and everyone. I’m doing the teen camp next year so it’s gonna be a lot different.
We’re doing this play for CLT this summer. I’m so excited! I know this sounds weird but I REALLY want to be ensemble. It’s so much fun to contribute to a big play with a small part. It’s so much fun because I have more freedom to get into the part without the trouble of lines.
DJMangafIMK Omg let me tell you, I'm a part of the ensemble and it has been one of the best experiences in my life! We're still staging but It's been great
My school is doing this musical and auditions are next week. This was really helpful for me to kind of get a feel for what I was doing! They did a great job!
It warms my heart to see this. I Ti’Moune in 8th grade. Many of my fellow actors and I went on to arts school for musical theatre. I still get out of music book and sight read every now and then. I love that kids are still doing this piece. I wish someone had recorded it, love to compare how I was then vs now. I’m sure these kids will want to do the same ❤
We are doing this play for our school next week so i watched some videos to see the differences. I'm in the ensemble and I'm one of the Grand Hommes. Great job!
I just came back from my audition workshop for this musical and now I'm binging everything related to it 😂😂 I want to be Papa Ge :)) or any of the gods really
In my acting camp we are doing one on this island jr and I'm Erzulie... I'm so excited!! Btw you guys did really well I watched the video like 2 or 3 times lol
Came back to say that I love this particular performance! I get to be Ti Moune for my school's production of OOTI Jr. Hopefully I can do close to as well as this Ti Moune did!
It's the only thing they could do with the people they had. Plus look at Hamilton. Was the founding fathers of the United States all black? No. Was even one of them black? No. Is it an almost all black cast? Yes. Point proven. It's fine.
First off, I appreciate you mentioning the idea of color representation. I’m not sure about the junior version of this show and how it’s focused on “class” instead of color. Going based off the original musical I will point out that the music itself points out the color of the inhabitants of the island, Hamilton (a musical I’m sure most of us have listened to at least 10 times) never points out the color of its characters, instead they focus on the actions of the characters. Obviously the majority of the people that Hamilton is based on are all from Caucasian decent, but again we focus on the actions in that musical. The musical literally says that they’re “black as night” Ti moune being black as coal. I don’t fault the kids, I fault the director if anything.
No offence but I get some schools don't have good singers. But training their voices could be better. But great job everyone. If my my middle school had this online OML i'd copy the link.
So my school finished this last year, and I have to say, I've never had more fun. It was great, if you're interested in theatre, and your school is doing this, by all means, become a part.
I love the fact that it’s a junior and all the main characters are middle schoolers and grown ups of course you can tell I’m being sarcastic they treat all the lil kids as background characters who else realized this
Thanks for this video! Just figured out I'm performing this show down in California and I need to have it memorized in a week so this was really helpful!
Wow your voice is gorgeous but in human heart your musical directors definitely did something different because this is not how I sang it (I was Erzulie too). Also I have never heard other Junior productions do it like that either? WONDERFUL PROFORMANCE!!!👏👏👏👏
I am gossiper 2 in my school! My sister is Mama, I'm happy for her, also jealous. XD It's a good start for me to get used to talking on stage with crowds of people on the audience.
What a fun production! Thanks for posting, I am preparing to direct this at my studio. Once on This Island is such a fantastic piece. You made a great Erzulie! Best wishes.
Eeey, Im Mama Euralie as well! I was just thinking in Pray, the mama in this is Good.. but shouldnt she be like scared and angry at Ti Moune. She Sounds Mellow tbh. XD just my opinion tho she sounds great!
I did this play in my camp. I'm in love with Once on This Island. I bet you could see every video of Once on This Island, I watched. This one is really cool.

The fact that these kids got those harmonies even close to right is impressive to me
I’m playing Andrea in our schools production :) we just started rehearsals
Also:
the girl playing erzulie is so pretty i- AND HER VOICE AHH
Rain was amazing Agwe has a flawless vibrato
Papa ge’s sass is unreal
Mama will provide was a whole show stopper.
Ti moune’s voice was so sweet!

My school is doing this and I got Ti Moune (the main character) and I'm so happy and excited
Lia Ravenclaw that is excellent congrats
Okay but Agwe papa ge and Asaka were phenomenal; definitely made for their roles
Ti-Moune on the other hand sounded like she constantly needed to clear her throat. Idk but her voice was very offputting

Thank you! Have a great show! :)

Salome Charles I’ll find out over the weekend :)) I had auditions today

GGB Humor I’m your father (Tonton Julian)
I just got cast as Ti Moune and I'm so pumped!
Genevieve Cooper Im Ti'Moune too
Love this! I used to be a part of this since elementary school!
we just closed and i was mama eurlie, i loved it
Who loves this musical as much is me
I really love their Agwe.
I remember being a storyteller last year! This was so fun! And if your doing this play! Then your SUPER lucky!!
Is no one going to address the fact that they killed ti moune
I was killed as ti’moune in 2003 and I’m still mad about it 😂
Came back to say that I love this particular performance! I get to be Ti Moune for my school's production of OOTI Jr. Hopefully I can do close to as well as this Ti Moune did!
At my school, we are doing this play. I watched it just to see how other people did it 😊 I got the part Ezurlie, Goddess of Love!
Chloe Reloaded I was Erzulie in my play!
Ok but every one is white in a show about color????????????????? This is like a white version of the wiz :-(((((
In the jr version it’s about the class not the color and that’s the version they’re doing
They did great and thats what matters, although their "color" didn't match the cast like required :/
maybe the theater or school is in a mostly white community
It's the only thing they could do with the people they had. Plus look at Hamilton. Was the founding fathers of the United States all black? No. Was even one of them black? No. Is it an almost all black cast? Yes. Point proven. It's fine.

I am going to the Spotlight theatre camp for this tomorrow, I am nervous but also excited!
I will be in this play :)
We are doing the play at my school and I’m a storyteller
we aredoing this play at memorial middle school. i want the role of ti moone.
Our school is doing this auditions are this week!
Erzulie and Asaka were amazing singers!
No offence but I get some schools don't have good singers. But training their voices could be better. But great job everyone. If my my middle school had this online OML i'd copy the link.

I love the fact that it’s a junior and all the main characters are middle schoolers and grown ups of course you can tell I’m being sarcastic they treat all the lil kids as background characters who else realized this
DJ Carver Asaka is a lead, so I’d say it’s more than a “start”
My friend got andrea and my other friends got Daniel's mom, asaka, agwe, erzulie and papa ge
I was a peasant
Thanks for this video! Just figured out I'm performing this show down in California and I need to have it memorized in a week so this was really helpful!
