    Ahead of all the other "you are NOT prepared jokes", can I just say how much I'm in awe that Geoff has perfected his ability to play a Disney Villain? I can't help wonder what VoicePlay is going to do when they run out of Disney Villain roles for Geoff to play?

      So many songs to do still. I´m thinking of the tv series as well. i mean friggin Tim Curry did an evil lullaby for a one episode villain named the Manta Ray who is early design Ursula redone in masculine form. Only 1.30 minutes so I guess for a Halloween short?

    For those who do not know:
    Mykal Kilgore was one of orginal members of Voiceplay along with Geoff, Layne, Scott and Earl.
    We only saw him in "Just sing".
    It's great to see him singing with you guys!

    Thank you all so much for the love! It was a real gift to be able to come back to my high school friends and make music together again!
    Way before I got to do Broadway, PMJ, NBC Live Musicals, and before being Grammy nominated for my debut album I was in “4 The Love,” the first iteration of this group. It’s a gift to given a hero’s welcome!

    This is such a tiny detail but I'm SO GLAD you included the little "la la la" in the background at 02:12. It's one of my favorite parts of the original. It's just such a silly addition to this supposedly very dark villain song and that's exactly what makes it great. The attention to detail in VoicePlay's covers is unmatched and it's part of what makes you guys so great.

    Absolutely the best acting I've seen from VP as an ensemble - incomparable. I love the way Geoff fully embodied Scar - could not have been better. Scar is an over-the-top character, and Geoff met him there. Award for finesse to Layne, for his physical response to Scar grabbing his jacket and then throwing him back at 1:03 - Geoff only opened his hand, but Layne took that gesture and gave it lift as he fell back - a CLASSIC cartoon move. Not over the top, just other-worldly perfect. Sorry I didn't post my comment earlier, I've been thinking about it as I continued to watch replays, but just didn't get it done. This performance really does deserve ALL the praise. Everyone was perfect. Can't wait to hear more from Mykal!

      It's also interesting when you compare it to the original movie. In that version, Scar violently grabs the hyena who asked the question when he says that line, and the hyena is grimacing in pain. Here the interaction is genuinely cute and makes you feel like they have an actually affectionate dynamic (even if "Scar" still thinks they're idiots). It's an interesting contrast.
