I’m just a ROOOOOCK!!! A big stone ROOOOOOCK!!!!! I’m made of ROOOOOOOOCCCCKK!!!!!!!! That’s why I ROOOOOOOOOOCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!! (And to the bridge!) I-am made-of-stone, and-I’m-thrown at-your-bones! I’m a rock! I may-not-talk, but I rock all the same! I’m a rock!
I loved how they mention Hamilton, and then have the Professor reference Hamilton later with the line "You think l'm not prepared for you? I've been waiting in the wings!"
The chorus of Hadestowns "why we build the wall" also builds upon itself like a wall. In every chorus there is one line added on top of the preexisting chorus.
How Did I Not Realize This- oh I know why I was too busy being distracted by patrick page's amazing beauty of a voice Especially that one note at the beginning, the second time he says the line 'why do we build the wall' So Dang Low and beautiful lol And just in general Patrick page lol
Space Otter Horrible Histories taught a lot of things but not a whole lot about the wives themselves - but then again, it’d probably be hard to make Katherine Howard’s story funny or kid friendly.
I think a fantastic example is, “West Side Story.” It broke boundaries when it appeared. “Romeo and Juliet as a modern New York gang war? Yeah. Sure. That’ll work.” And it did!!! It paved the way for theater through its songs, choreography, direction, etc. it still puts me in awe.
also the fact that it told about the struggles of immigrants and hispanics in america in that time period which was very shocking for its audience at the time
Limp Noodles that’s what i love about it tho, because Lin purposely casted people of color to fill the roles of political leaders when they wouldn’t have had a chance at that during the time Hamilton actually took place
@@carolinecorra I heard the reason he did that was because back then when America was made everyone was an immigrant, cause technically everyone came from either europe or somewhere else. So he was trying to make a point
Now that Schaff has referenced Starkid, I need him to review The guy who didn't like musicals, twisted, or firebringer. Although I won't mind hearing more about Heathers. I love me some Heathers.
Sticks and Stones That's one of the biggest things about Hamilton that confuses me the most. I LOVE Hamilton but generally dislike all of the individual pieces. I guess it's like a casserole; veggies, meat, and spices kinda suck on their own but they're pretty good together.
As one of the very few lucky people who got to see Great Comet live on broadway, every time I see anyone reference it in the slightest I go absolutely BALLISTIC. Still my second favorite show to this day (behind Deaf West Spring Awakening of course)
On one hand yep that shit is too expansive which is why I'll probably never see a Broadway play on Broadway, but on the other Hamilton is more accessible then most since they both have the whole ocr on Spotify, and the story only happens in the music. So even if one weren't too go for less official methods that Sarah Z might have talked about in a video for example, anyone with internet access can enjoy the story in some way.
I thought that Burr was the narrator because of the emphasis on how he prefers to stand on the side and watch how things play out instead of always taking action.
Trail to Oregon matches these too. Who would expect a simple video game from the 1980’s about the gold rush turn into such a phenomenal musical about a family’s struggles.
Listen I love starkid and all their musicals, but calling TTO phenomenal and making it sound so deep when 80% of it is shit jokes and a complete train wreck is a step too far
TheMurrmursonbottle it only really has poo jokes towards the end, and it’s hilarious, and it makes you cry, what’s not to love about it? It’s phenomenal
My stepfather hates musicals, I love them, so Everytime I'm in the tv seeing one he starts rambling about how it doesn't make any sense and I'm like "you just don't get it"
I barely keep from bursting into random song everywhere. The only concession I make is singing softly or going into the next room, and frankly the journey home at night is always the best part of my day for the sole reason that i do not care enough about strangers to not sing out loud in public. This was even before I discovered musicals were a thing, so I can confirm that musicals are real
The Schaffrillas Productions musical playlist- 1. "Subverted My Expectations" 2. "Why Shiny is the Best Disney Song" 3. "Sharktale was a Mistake" 4. "Painfully Average" 5. "Shrek the 3rd was a mistake" ((The Sharktale reprise)) 6. "A mastapeece" 7. "The Magic of Bradburd's Writing"

As someone who has loved Hadestown and Great Comet so so so so much, thank you so much for this video. These weird musicals have such a special place in my heart and I'm glad that someone else gets why they're so amazing.
@@ShowtuneSampler That's the thing. Pre-Broadway Beetlejuice is pretty trash but they rewrote it to focus more on the emotional aspects and it really makes is better. You should check out a slime tutorial of it sometime
great comet is my all-time favorite musical. i’m so blessed to see it live because it’s such an outstanding and breathtaking experience. how it didn’t win against dear evan hansen is beyond me. it’s so creative and inventive and you can tell dave malloy put his everything into it.
Patrick Page is a national treasure and must be protected at all cost. Because I loved him in Hunchback and was devastated it didn't go to Broadway I looked into his other works and discovered Hadestown. He has finally gotten the broadway recognition he deserves!!!
*Next Up:* Despacito: The Musical _One of the greatest Broadway hits of all time follows the story of Luis Fonsi and how the song turned into a sequel._
My current weird musical obsession? Six. King Henry the 8th's six wives telling their stories. It's awesome, Go listen to it. Do it. Now. It's a wonderful musical and so much fun.
Ok so, I'm currently a minuite in. You uploaded a video. One point. Its about musicals. Another point. It refrenced some of the most currently known. ANOTHER point. YOU ADDED IN A STARKID CLIP! A billion points for you sir.
When are we gonna get a LEGO movie musical along with a LEGO Batman movie musical and a LEGO ninjago movie musical? Oh I almost forgot a bionicle musical!
Caleb Martin yeah, and the songs and the costumes and puppets etc. But In the ninjago movie, the environment was animated realistic that includes the plants, water, ice, and even the mud!
cinIALVEspO w sadly no they ended the run on broadway. I’m not even sure there are any good bootlegs because the acting happens all around the theater and the actors are constantly in the isles.
the great comet is one of my favorite musicals and is one of my special interests and i ended up starting war and peace because of it, watching the show adaptations of the past, and GOD i love the great comet. and many other musicals but i'm glad that this was praising the great comet because it deserved so much more appreciation.
"While not being interested in any other portion of War and Peace whatsoever" okay fair BUT, despite its length, war and peace absolutely slaps. watch the bbc series for a general idea of the rest of the plot and mental images of the characters that don't appear in great comet, then read it or get an audiobook, because not only is it fun to brag about, but it goes fucking HARD. I recommend listening to the great comet soundtrack as you go when you get to volume 2 part 5 though, because you will appreciate Malloy's skills as an adaptor much more once you realise JUST HOW MANY of the lines are ripped right out of the book
XD I have the show basically memorized so I could just see it by reading it though I read a different translation than what Dave used. So for me, I loved all the character melodrama like was in the show, but didn't care the slightest for the war bits or the endless philosophizing bits so it was intermittently enjoyable. Sometimes really slow, sometimes great. The great comet bit is far from the only good bit, gotta say. Aside from the shitshow of an epilogue, it did have some wonderful conclusions to several character arcs before the epilogue. Also I just hope that maybe someday Dave will go revisit Moby Dick and rewrite it a bunch because the songs are amazing and he clearly knows what he is doing mostly, but a lot of that show was just a big mess and would really benefit from him actually listening to people of colour rather than speaking for them and getting mad at their negative reactions to his (often) bullheaded writing.
Omg yes the musical is why I decided to thrift the book and read it so I can understand it better and I’m obsessed. I already caught where the lyrics in “no one else” came from.
It's possibly my favourite movie ever. Funnily enough I can't stand the whole "get the band back together" plot in other films/shows, but this just works.
I like how Hamilton (the musical) actually makes Burr a better person than he was in real life. In the musical, he's concerned with upholding the legacy set forth by his parents, but in real life, he was a selfish and manipulative little man who eventually moved to Louisiana in an attempt to profit off of war with Spain, leading to Jefferson trying (and failing) several times to get him convicted of treason. He also had a strong desire to conquer Mexico for whatever reason, and to do this was soliciting funds in England for a while. He was eventually kicked out of the country, tried to flee to France, was booted by Napoleon, and ended up back in America. Somewhat ironically, his divorce lawyer was Hamilton's 3rd son.
Yea, this is why I really like Lin's storytelling. He makes us feels sympathy for someone who's supposed to be the villain, and died over 200 years ago.
His ex-wife's divorce lawyer actually, and even more of a power move, the son was named Alexander Hamilton Jr. Also Burr died the day the divorce was finalised. Poetic_cinema.jpg
The musical makes ALL of them seem better than they were. Hamilton was a super-capatalist shithead who didn't care much about immigrants despite being one and arranged the purchasing of slaves for his in-laws, George Washington was a slave owner who did NOT free his slaves upon his death (his wife did a year later because she hated living surrounded by people waiting for her to die), Hercules Mulligan was also a slave owner who relied on his slave Kato to do a LOT of the spy work for him, Angelica Schuyler met Hamilton TWO YEARS after Eliza married him and still had an emotional affair with him (so her entire character arc/conflict is bs. Also she had older brothers), Lafayette was...actually pretty cool ngl, and Jefferson was a slave owning pedophile rapist who kept his own children as slaves (just read Sally Hemings wikipedia page it is so much worse than just that ohmygod). Soooo yeah a bunch of completely shit people being presented as sympathetic.
@@nicolersands Yeah, that's exactly why I've always taken issue with the show and throw up a little in my mouth when I hear it getting praise - infact a friend of mine who is way less restrained in their hatred of the show on that basis was joking about how Lin's next project will be about rehabilitating Hitler lol
I'm still waiting for the musical adaptation of the live action remake of the _animated_ remake of the novelization of the musical adaptation of the screen play of Shrek
I actually love the music in Shrek the musical, but was so disappointed to find that 90% of the script was exactly the same and the only huge change was Fiona being mentally ill from being locked away for 20 years. Which was great.
@@smallvoices9564 I felt as though they could have done something more exciting with the script, changed up some of the dialogue or story beats or something different. Besides the music, and the inclusion that Shrek and Ffiona were forced to be alone from a young age, I don't think the musical added anything more to the story that was already there and they really could have expanded upon a few things. Instead the script is cut almost word for word from the film so any time someone isnt singing, the story is what we've heard before and as someone who kiiinda obsesses over Shrek and has watched it since it came out in theaters as a 6 year old, the musical adaptation when there is no music is boring haha
My favorite historical musical adaptation is Firebringer. It is incredibly accurate and educational. Great way to learn exact how fire was discovered and also that time when we were all married to jemilla was golden
When I was in high school we did les mis twice, once normaly and then we did it as if it were set in a post-apocalyptic civilisation. It actually worked really well. We even managed to win an award at our state.
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT GREAT COMET!!! 💖 💫 it doesnt get enough love anymore and for a while ive noticed the instrumental versions of its songs in the background of your videos :)
Thank you for talking about Jesus Christ Superstar. It doesn’t get brought up enough. To prove your point about it reaching audiences of all faith, I’ve been an atheist for the majority of my life and it’s possibly my favorite musical to ever exist. Jesus x Judas is my otp for life
Same here! It’s my absolute favourite musical! I absolutely love how Jesus is actually portrayed as more of a critic of God, as he literally screams in Gethsemane about why exactly does he have to die, why is that the answer? Besides, he doesn’t WANT to die. In Hosanna we recurved a brief glimpse into that view with the emphasis put on the crowd singing “Hey JC, JC, won’t you die for me-?” Hell, by the time a dead Judas sings Superstar he directly calls out religion in general and how hypocritical or obstructive it can be. This is in no way to offend religions as that isn’t the point of the musical. It’s simply subtle critique along with amazing storytelling

Oh shit, that’s what it’s about? I’ve never seen or heard it. Sounds great.
I’m not sure if this was started by West Side Story, but tons of Shakespeare adaptations are set in the modern day or in alternative settings

Agreed. I admire it when people are open about their religion (especially Christianity). It shows they have good courage
@@karateparty100 why especially Christianity? If anything, christianity is one of the easiest regions to "come out" as in the western world.

As someone who has loved Hadestown and Great Comet so so so so much, thank you so much for this video. These weird musicals have such a special place in my heart and I'm glad that someone else gets why they're so amazing.
The mean girls musical is actually a bop tho
Mostly Regina's songs, though. I particularly think "fearless" and "do this thing" could have been better. I get where he's coming from.

LISTEN it's a FUN AND GOOD MUSICAL
slion Fun? Maybe. Good? Eh, that’s a bit of a stretch. I saw it pre-Broadway, and nothing short of rewriting 3/4 of the show could’ve saved it.
@@ShowtuneSampler did you say that the beetlejuice musical might be fun
im sorry sir you’re coming with us
@@ShowtuneSampler That's the thing. Pre-Broadway Beetlejuice is pretty trash but they rewrote it to focus more on the emotional aspects and it really makes is better. You should check out a slime tutorial of it sometime
Heathers too

great comet is my all-time favorite musical. i’m so blessed to see it live because it’s such an outstanding and breathtaking experience. how it didn’t win against dear evan hansen is beyond me. it’s so creative and inventive and you can tell dave malloy put his everything into it.
The only thing Patrick Page couldn't do was fix Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark
No one can really fix that mess.
Where is Shrek 4?
There, now we can say something useful in this comment section.
Yeah
There we go
Who wants shrek 4? I want shrek 6
Majoras mask review first!
After the Madagascar trilogy, he'll do Shrek 4.
Patrick Page is a national treasure and must be protected at all cost. Because I loved him in Hunchback and was devastated it didn't go to Broadway I looked into his other works and discovered Hadestown. He has finally gotten the broadway recognition he deserves!!!
Yes! And he was put with all these other amazing singers like amber gray and eva noblezada, which is perfecttt
Welllllllll
It's great that people have forgotten about that Spiderman musical. Reeve Carney and Patrick Page will always bump into each other.
Could you talk about Starkid’s The Trail to Oregon? I think it’s a really fun musical and I’d love to hear your opinion on it.
Beth M Oooooh, I would love this. I think it’s easily their best musical
@@sunniva1717 I’d put The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals above it but it’s definitely one of the best.

What are your thoughts on Beetlejuice The Musical The Musical The Musical???
Literally my favorite and people who don't like it don't get it! (Imo)
Everyone seems to hate on this musical, but it's my favorite and no one can tell me otherwise :/
@@justyouraveragecorgi well it is the best after all
Reading this hurt my brain-
Ok so, I'm currently a minuite in. You uploaded a video. One point. Its about musicals. Another point. It refrenced some of the most currently known. ANOTHER point.
YOU ADDED IN A STARKID CLIP! A billion points for you sir.
When are we gonna get a LEGO movie musical along with a LEGO Batman movie musical and a LEGO ninjago movie musical? Oh I almost forgot a bionicle musical!
Honestly though? Imagine if they found a way to make the sets entirely out of lego
Caleb Martin yeah, and the songs and the costumes and puppets etc. But In the ninjago movie, the environment was animated realistic that includes the plants, water, ice, and even the mud!
Add the Bionicle musical to that list and you'll have me on board
Y’all forgetting about IT: The Musical where Pennywise was defeated by a Britney Spears dance battle

Great comet is still the best musical experience on broadway I have ever had. The staging, lighting, costume design, and immersion is so amazing
abby ehrenstein best show I have every seen in my life.
cinIALVEspO w sadly no they ended the run on broadway. I’m not even sure there are any good bootlegs because the acting happens all around the theater and the actors are constantly in the isles.
abby ehrenstein yeah I can confirm that all the boots suck. When I saw it I had an onstage seat so any boot I’ve tried since then is just depressing
Amelie Wilson you won life
I am incredibly jealous. All I have are bootlegs
the great comet is one of my favorite musicals and is one of my special interests and i ended up starting war and peace because of it, watching the show adaptations of the past, and GOD i love the great comet. and many other musicals but i'm glad that this was praising the great comet because it deserved so much more appreciation.
Marshall Price Great comet💓💓💗💓💓
"While not being interested in any other portion of War and Peace whatsoever" okay fair BUT, despite its length, war and peace absolutely slaps. watch the bbc series for a general idea of the rest of the plot and mental images of the characters that don't appear in great comet, then read it or get an audiobook, because not only is it fun to brag about, but it goes fucking HARD. I recommend listening to the great comet soundtrack as you go when you get to volume 2 part 5 though, because you will appreciate Malloy's skills as an adaptor much more once you realise JUST HOW MANY of the lines are ripped right out of the book
XD I have the show basically memorized so I could just see it by reading it though I read a different translation than what Dave used. So for me, I loved all the character melodrama like was in the show, but didn't care the slightest for the war bits or the endless philosophizing bits so it was intermittently enjoyable. Sometimes really slow, sometimes great. The great comet bit is far from the only good bit, gotta say. Aside from the shitshow of an epilogue, it did have some wonderful conclusions to several character arcs before the epilogue. Also I just hope that maybe someday Dave will go revisit Moby Dick and rewrite it a bunch because the songs are amazing and he clearly knows what he is doing mostly, but a lot of that show was just a big mess and would really benefit from him actually listening to people of colour rather than speaking for them and getting mad at their negative reactions to his (often) bullheaded writing.
Omg yes the musical is why I decided to thrift the book and read it so I can understand it better and I’m obsessed. I already caught where the lyrics in “no one else” came from.
Have you... watched the movie Cats Dont Dance?
Because if you havent
You need it
Such an underrated movie 👌
That movie was my childhood ♡
“All I want to do is the thing that I love”
Weird childhood memories. I don't even know where we got the vhs but it's one of the most outstanding memories I have.
It's possibly my favourite movie ever. Funnily enough I can't stand the whole "get the band back together" plot in other films/shows, but this just works.
Mmmmm
The cgi for Cats on a technical level is actually really good.
It's just that no one needs to see those cat humanoid monstrosities
Some people are all about it. *_Those_* people ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I can fix the cgi with 4 words: give them cat noses.
Also get rid of the human lips too and maybe give them dangs
@@petercarioscia9189 I'm a furry, and I find them horrifying
@@petercross1879 Same here. Even we don't want these abominations.
I like how Hamilton (the musical) actually makes Burr a better person than he was in real life. In the musical, he's concerned with upholding the legacy set forth by his parents, but in real life, he was a selfish and manipulative little man who eventually moved to Louisiana in an attempt to profit off of war with Spain, leading to Jefferson trying (and failing) several times to get him convicted of treason. He also had a strong desire to conquer Mexico for whatever reason, and to do this was soliciting funds in England for a while. He was eventually kicked out of the country, tried to flee to France, was booted by Napoleon, and ended up back in America. Somewhat ironically, his divorce lawyer was Hamilton's 3rd son.
Yea, this is why I really like Lin's storytelling. He makes us feels sympathy for someone who's supposed to be the villain, and died over 200 years ago.
His ex-wife's divorce lawyer actually, and even more of a power move, the son was named Alexander Hamilton Jr. Also Burr died the day the divorce was finalised. Poetic_cinema.jpg
It's just crazy, sounds fake but it actually happened.
The musical makes ALL of them seem better than they were. Hamilton was a super-capatalist shithead who didn't care much about immigrants despite being one and arranged the purchasing of slaves for his in-laws, George Washington was a slave owner who did NOT free his slaves upon his death (his wife did a year later because she hated living surrounded by people waiting for her to die), Hercules Mulligan was also a slave owner who relied on his slave Kato to do a LOT of the spy work for him, Angelica Schuyler met Hamilton TWO YEARS after Eliza married him and still had an emotional affair with him (so her entire character arc/conflict is bs. Also she had older brothers), Lafayette was...actually pretty cool ngl, and Jefferson was a slave owning pedophile rapist who kept his own children as slaves (just read Sally Hemings wikipedia page it is so much worse than just that ohmygod). Soooo yeah a bunch of completely shit people being presented as sympathetic.
@@nicolersands Yeah, that's exactly why I've always taken issue with the show and throw up a little in my mouth when I hear it getting praise - infact a friend of mine who is way less restrained in their hatred of the show on that basis was joking about how Lin's next project will be about rehabilitating Hitler lol

Not even a mention of Pokemon Live. Also I can't tell if Schriffillas likes Mean Girls the Musical or not?
"You're such a goody-two-shoes, it's more fun being bad!"
mean girls isn't really a weird adaptation, it stays quite true to the film, or at least the feeling of it. it wouldn't apply to this video

You should make a video exclusively on Shrek the musical and how it doesn’t work
Waaa I loooveee Shrek The Musical. Its really funny and there are so many innuendos hidden in a seemingly kids musical
I actually love the music in Shrek the musical, but was so disappointed to find that 90% of the script was exactly the same and the only huge change was Fiona being mentally ill from being locked away for 20 years. Which was great.
@@Jill4ChrisRedfeild I'm confused. How is that disappointing?
@@smallvoices9564 I felt as though they could have done something more exciting with the script, changed up some of the dialogue or story beats or something different. Besides the music, and the inclusion that Shrek and Ffiona were forced to be alone from a young age, I don't think the musical added anything more to the story that was already there and they really could have expanded upon a few things. Instead the script is cut almost word for word from the film so any time someone isnt singing, the story is what we've heard before and as someone who kiiinda obsesses over Shrek and has watched it since it came out in theaters as a 6 year old, the musical adaptation when there is no music is boring haha
@@Jill4ChrisRedfeild thanks for explaining

Beetlejuice the musical.
That is all. just had to drop that here

As much as I like Beetlejuice the musical, it isn’t very unique.
Not in the same way Hamilton or Hadestown are.
I'm obsessed with Beetlejuice and SIX at the moment. Literally all I've been listening to.

THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT GREAT COMET!!! 💖 💫
it doesnt get enough love anymore and for a while ive noticed the instrumental versions of its songs in the background of your videos :)
This is just a video essay on why fanfiction shouldn’t be so hated on
the heathers musical slaps and im totally biased bc its my favorite
The heathers musical is beautiful.
Thank you for talking about Jesus Christ Superstar. It doesn’t get brought up enough. To prove your point about it reaching audiences of all faith, I’ve been an atheist for the majority of my life and it’s possibly my favorite musical to ever exist.
Jesus x Judas is my otp for life
Jesus Christ, superstar, came down riding on a Yamaha. Done a skid, killed a kid, cut his bollocks on a dustbin lid
I believe that's how it goes.
Jesus x Judas is my otp for life isnt a sentence i would have thought I would see today
It's okay but I preferred Godspell.
Gamin_G I’m just joking but the fan fiction is out there so it must be someone’s otp.
Same here! It’s my absolute favourite musical! I absolutely love how Jesus is actually portrayed as more of a critic of God, as he literally screams in Gethsemane about why exactly does he have to die, why is that the answer? Besides, he doesn’t WANT to die. In Hosanna we recurved a brief glimpse into that view with the emphasis put on the crowd singing “Hey JC, JC, won’t you die for me-?” Hell, by the time a dead Judas sings Superstar he directly calls out religion in general and how hypocritical or obstructive it can be. This is in no way to offend religions as that isn’t the point of the musical. It’s simply subtle critique along with amazing storytelling
The half second snippet from the Death Note musical caught me so off guard 😂
You're right tho, "where IS the justice, if there's any justice."
Still waiting on that Shark Tale musical
