MuggleNet had the opportunity to get a preview of the Percy Jackson Musical that will be heading out on a national tour after running off-Broadway in New York City.
Katie Gardener: I REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES THAT ENCOURAGES THE SENSELESS SLAUGHTER OF OUR ARBOREAL FRIENDS!!! Mr. D : *psychopathically sharpens a pencil* Katie: O[]o
Jorrel really snapped when he did this. If y'all wanna see other things he's in, just look up Texas Musical Theatre, he graduated from there last year I think??
iCY HOT and most of the original major cast is back with Chris. Basically everyone came back minus George (because Be More Chill is on off-broadway now), the guy who played Chiron and the lovely woman who played Sally Jackson and Selena, among other characters.
they managed to find someone who can play both grover and mr d amazingly not once but TWICE!! whoever's in charge of casting for this musical deserves a raise right this second please and thank u
Just so everyone knows, “the guy who replaced George” is named Jorrel Javier. He is beautiful. I personally believe he portrays the characters better, yes, George can sing well, but only a true and complete fan can portray the characters this well
Why is no one talking about Kristin rolling James behind everyone while he shows off his sword skills as Luke, because that was honestly p r i c e l e s s. (And Sarah Beth with the “Save The Trees” sign as Katie = very funny as well) (Also: God I love Jorrel)
I really went through that, and enjoyed the acting and singing, while still pointing out each good picture opportunity that all the photographers missed xD
When I watched them in Charlotte, I think I heard Selena say “the tea” as she cried walking on stage. I really hope I didn’t mishear bc it was hilarious
Oh gods, hes drinking coke, even the actor knows more about the books than the movies
Jorrel Javier grew up on the books too! He knew all about this story going in!
He says it’s the only way he made it through middle school
Almost anyone knows more about PJO than the movies.
@@juliusroman8616 Lmao your comment killed me. Where is the lie?
Agzou what do you mean where is the lie?
It’s hard to find a suitable replacement for George Salazar, but this guy is KILLING it! Excited to see him in May!
Me too, im going in January, so excited!
My friend and I are going in February!
I'm seeing it in May too! I can't wait!!!
im in Argentina so i'll never see any musical!!!!
Sanora _ HE CANT
Percy looks so traumatized at the end hahaha 😂
Tessa Flynn the whole time he’s like who the hell is this
yep
Did anyone else notice how the girl playing Katie Gardner at the end was holding a save the trees sign😂😂😂
I was laughing so much when I saw it in a bootleg. It was hilarious.
Do you happen to still have the link?
I almost can’t hear a difference between him and George. I’m actually pretty happy with this
Ikr?
Also homestuck
i agree
ALSO FUCKING FILTHY HOMESTUCK WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I ESCAPE THIS SHITBAG OF A FANDOM JEGUS CHRIST
So good!
@@starstruckdaydreamer3822 says the person that follows the troll tradition of six letters each name
2:06 Was not expecting that
3:27 or that
3:40 or that.
Lmao I was not expecting 2:06 either
I was not expecting that either 🤣
nobody:
jorrel: H I G H K I C K
Me neither . No what I don't think anyone was .
Ok but why is no one talking about the guy who plays Chiron and his Fucking horse walk and tail movements that was hilarious
shadowkittycat97 ikr
It was so extra i love it HAHAHAHA
THAT BUT ROLL THO
The way he just LKSNJFKJISJ OUTTA THE WHEELCHAIR WAS HILARIOUS-
I wasn’t expecting his legs to be so long, it scared me for a second 😭😂
the fact that he just sharpens a pencil to freak Katie out is hilarious
Luke casually showing off his sword skills at the background amidst Percy's confusion at 3:41 😂
Oh, I was wondering who was on the trolley
Yas!!!
That high kick tho
I love Jorrel's resistance throughout the song to break into dance and Sarah's characters being hurt (both physically and emotionally)
Katie Gardener: I REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES THAT ENCOURAGES THE SENSELESS SLAUGHTER OF OUR ARBOREAL FRIENDS!!!
Mr. D : *psychopathically sharpens a pencil*
Katie: O[]o
Guys just pause at 1:38 his face is literally the persona of a perfect Dionysus!
Also, his timing at 3:10 is perfect.
Yeah I live for the timing of those little movements
At first I was thinking it would be impossible to replace George but this dude is amazing! He's even scaring me
he gets out of his wheelchair and everyone just starts having a mental breakdown
Jorrel really snapped when he did this. If y'all wanna see other things he's in, just look up Texas Musical Theatre, he graduated from there last year I think??
Emma Theriot wait WAIT is he headband guy from chorus line? the one who looks down (idk the character) in I Hope I Get It???
@@hannahjohnson4322 yeah.
omg.... The actor for Chrion has got some moves *literally wheezing* How does chris and George keep a straight face XDDDDD
Jorrel added ten years to my life span
That one guy has some long leggies
I know right!
He's so graceful!
I'm kinda sad that I don't get to see George in this musical in May, but this guy seems pretty good. Also at least Chris McCarrell is still in it
iCY HOT and most of the original major cast is back with Chris. Basically everyone came back minus George (because Be More Chill is on off-broadway now), the guy who played Chiron and the lovely woman who played Sally Jackson and Selena, among other characters.
they managed to find someone who can play both grover and mr d amazingly not once but TWICE!! whoever's in charge of casting for this musical deserves a raise right this second please and thank u
chiron is beautiful.
that's all.
oh y e s
?
Agreed
mr Brunner's hip wiggle has shaken me to my core
that do be very true
George was the OG and I love him more than everything, but jorrel is doing AMAZING at filling George’s shoes!!
Okay, but why did I look at their shoes after I read this???
JORREL IS OUT HERE KILLING IT
dionysus having a stroke every 5 seconds is a mood
oH MYG ODS ITS A FREAKING QUEEN
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
ALSO CHRIS WEARING STANDARD UNIFORM IS JUST 👌 AND OOF
This song is my whole mood 25/8
0:56 - 0:58
"Do you want to give me that megaphone, Mr D? OK. I guess not."
Its REALLY hard to replace George Salazr but Jorrel is doing an AWESOME job! Can't wait to see them in June
nobody:
jorrel: hi i’m here to prove that i can be as good as george
I never realized how dangerous Mr. D is. And unpredictable.
Mr. D has the fury of a passionate theater kid, the unpredictability of a box of chocolates, the mindset of a depressed teen, and the heart of wine.
The ironic thing is that that sign is probably made of trees.
that be true SHE HOLDS A SIGN THAT IS MADE OFF WOOD
Just so everyone knows, “the guy who replaced George” is named Jorrel Javier. He is beautiful.
I personally believe he portrays the characters better, yes, George can sing well, but only a true and complete fan can portray the characters this well
The way he says wood nymph gives me life.
Why is the centaur transformation the best thing I’ve ever seen
He's is AMAZING! He moves and acts like how I imagined in the books
2:40 when i saw this live i was DEADD
I was out of breath just watching that major kudos for actually performing it
JORREL IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I'm loving this more and more each time i watch it
man, chris mccarrell is attractive
Dude, hes gæ
WRONG he kinda ugly
i'm so freaking happy that we have an actual hardcore pjo/hoo fan amongst the cast.
The way he came out of the wheelchair 😂
Annabeth and Luke in the back at the end hahaha
2:05 me in 1 1/2 period long science
1:30 i think silena would be the swetest girl in the camp, i mean, that silena is like drew
When he said the first line I was like............ George????
They kinda sound alike 😳😳😳
HES SO GOOD IM SAD BC IM SO HAPPY ILY
it is approximately five am as i typed this and i’m running on no sleep that comment made no since anyway i love jen
we stan jorrel
Why is no one talking about Kristin rolling James behind everyone while he shows off his sword skills as Luke, because that was honestly p r i c e l e s s. (And Sarah Beth with the “Save The Trees” sign as Katie = very funny as well)
(Also: God I love Jorrel)
oh my gosh jorrel is doing such an incredible job!! i love him so much skjsksks 💓
Who else is going to go see this?!!!?! I got tickets and I'm SO DAM EXCITED!!!!!!!!! But I have to wait until April!
Bre Edwards I have to wait for June but I’m so excited
ok but the guy playing Percy is cute af
I really went through that, and enjoyed the acting and singing, while still pointing out each good picture opportunity that all the photographers missed xD
I feel so lucky that I got to see this musical! Jorell even signed my playbill! :D
Also, to anybody who hasn't seen it I hope you do!
I was really surprised when I clicked and it wasn't George but I'm not disappointed, great job!
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT CHIRON PRANCING AROUND EVERYWHERE? I COMPLETELY LOST IT
i wish so badly i could've gotten the chance to see this show live
Chris’s face throughout the entire play was amazing! 🤗(Percy)
oh poor Katie gardner was so offended by the pencil why would you do that mr.d?!?! WHY!?!
Was... was Jorrel drinking a Diet Coke? THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN THIS SHOW, I SWEAR- *IT’S SO GOOD*
Edit: The high kick, I-
how McCarrell and the ensemble keep a straight face during this song is a mystery.
When I watched them in Charlotte, I think I heard Selena say “the tea” as she cried walking on stage. I really hope I didn’t mishear bc it was hilarious
All the comments calling Jorrel Javier 'this guy' are nice in saying he lives up to George Salazar, but also, the guy has a name and feelings dude!
Jorrel IS SO FREAKING GOOD
I did not expect this 2:05
And this 3:27
AND THIS 4:02
HOW DOES THE GIY WHO DOES CHIRON KUMP SO HIGH!?!?!
3:41 Is no one gonna talk about Luke just rolling around?? LMAOO
OMG JORREL DID SO WELL THIS IS THE PERFECT REPLACEMENT FOR GEORGE 😭😭😭
i cant wait to see,, this cast when they come to my town!! plus,, he sounds JUST LIKE george i love this
HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT RECOGNIZE GEORGES VOICE I HAVE BEEN OBSESSED WITH MICHEAL IN THE BATHROOM AND HAVE BASICALLY MEMORIZED HIS VOICE OH MY GOD
I hope the guy Playing Chiron knows his killing it
His actions are amazing! There so exaggerated, which is just like Mr. D.
This guy just knocked my socks off
CHIRON TURNING INTO A HORSE LMAO
Chris is a whole mood in this
I love the end of the song it's just utter chaos lolololol
I love this song but I'm not okay with it besmirching Beckendorf's good name. He would never cheat on Selina!
Chris looking scared and confused as heck is literally my new religion.
I just watched the first minute of this, and all I can say is: Don't trust him with a gun!
YES!!! jorrel is wonderful in this role!!
I've met this guy, he's so cool, and very chill. I also saw the show, it was good!
I saw this a few weeks ago and I LOVED him in the part!
I watched the musical and it was amazing! Another terrible day is one of my favorite songs! It’s amazing!!!
2:07
I need to see this guy. Not George but hilarious
I miss george
@@georgesaladbar7228 I love your username-
jorrel: favorite ✨wood nymph✨ *shimmy*
0:55 percys laugh is just how much they have a bond with eachother off stage
I can't wait to see this in January 😆😆
Jorrel is like a George Salazar Junior.
He's so tense I'M getting a headache
This guy is AMAZING
That kick was beautiful
Yeah he's such a good actor
Dionysus is such an iconnn
I saw this show live and I never noticed how much percy looks like Barry allen from the cw flash show.
Just saw this musical this weekend. Oh my gosh it is so amazing! I would totally recommend it
Poor Chris. He looks horrified. His face when he realized Chiron was a centaur tho...
This makes me really sad I never got to see the musical, and that I'll never get to see it with this cast😭😭
