@@samuelblachon95130 I think he does. Even if you are rich, you normally still care about your money. Cause you still can end up with nothing if you just throw away everything you made.
Elle, instead of relying on her intelligence and feminity to win the murder trial, prays to Jesus and gets her way. I haven't seen the production, but I will bet good money that's what happened.
I commented this on somebody else’s video, but I wanted to say it here too! Two things I find hilarious about this production: 1. Despite their homophobic rhetoric, in My Shot, they kept the “Laurens, I like you a lot” line, which was a DIRECT REFERENCE to Hamilton’s bisexuality. 2. They added in this pastor role to come in, talk to Alexander and help him get “saved” WHEN THIS WAS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. HAMILTON ALREADY HAS A LITERAL COME TO JESUS MOMENT IN THAT SONG. “I take the children to church on Sunday, a sign of a cross on the door, and I pray. That never used to happen before” Like???
1. The reference to his bisexuality went over their heads. 2. This isn’t a “sign of the cross” kind of church. They specifically wanted to “present the gospel” and specifically have him convert to their Christianity.
@@hi.4174 They still kept it in the performance, so I don't think that was the case. More likely than not, they used it as a way to really hammer in the message that bad things will happen to you if you don't believe in God and Jesus (which is the most insensitive thing you could say to someone who is suffering with GRIEF).
I think the praying portion was a way to show that Alexander was trying to find a way to cope/grieve for his son. However, it still shows that Alexander was willing to pray to God for guidance or, perhaps, a way to get his life back on track. That doesn't excuse the pastor scene though, because oh my god, that was dreadful.
I was waiting for this reaction LMAO! As a Christian, that “My hope is in Jesus” and the randomness of that line made me laugh 😂 musical theater has been wild lately.
I honestly think a lot of these kids would be awesome with some vocal training (Eliza, Angelica, Burr, Hamilton specifically.) Production is YIKES but hoping they leave home and get some fresh perspectives and voice lessons.
You’re a brave woman subjecting yourself to that “production.” As usual, you are extraordinarily generous while sticking to your values. And your humor, love it! Nicely done!
I believe that the lawyers initially told them to finish out the shows but they weren't allowed to do another live stream/more photography/videography/pay for tickets.... Basically, no proof and no more getting profit from it. They apparently took it as their okay to continue doing what they were doing
The way I've been singing "my hope is in Jesus" everytime something goes wrong for weeks now. Amy I relate so hard (I'm against the production, I just like that one line)
I went to a theatre camp where the rights to shows not being available did not stop us from doing them. But the difference is, we did not charge money to see the shows, and we didn't put the tapes online. Also we didn't change any of the lyrics.
I appreciate you making the point about making fun of the performers and their performances. Doesn't help anything, and doesn't highlight the real issues of this production.
I completely agree! I was really happy that she made a comment about not blaming or teasing the teenagers. They're getting so much hate, but they're just actors. Religious beliefs aside, their performances were just like any other, typical teenage production, and it's the adults that are causing the issues. Edit: It's also, most likely, the adults that changed the lyrics. The teenagers are just reciting them.
amy's reactions are seriously the best, i became a huge fan of this channel during the quarantine starkid reaction era!!! (also amy, any chance of you doing a video on tin can bros' "spies are forever"? it's soooo good!!)
Omg this was such a delight to watch! So needed as a queer visiting old-family-membersTM at the moment xx also idky why but the 'decided to spread anti (sigh)..Eugene' and his tail walking around behind you had me creasing
I feel bad for the kids getting so much hate in this tbh. It was on the church for changing/stealing the content- but the kids are facing the brunt of the backlash. Some of these kids have amazing potential- including Eliza- but were simply thrust on a stage by those left in charge of them, lied to about being allowed to perform this musical, and then blasted so publicly to the world.
Amy! Jenny Nihcolson recently did a video and shared with the world the disastrous beauty which is this evangelical church in Winnipeg, who every year puts up a play that's basically just the same story of Jesus, *but told through different stories of like modern media*. They have Batman, Star Wars, the freakin MCU - it's *a hot mess* and we all love *a hot mess*. I think it could be worth a video, but if nothing else it is 100% worth a view. :)
Weird question, but did Illegal Heathers ever get into this kind of trouble (legal trouble I mean)? Or is it because Heathers was “off broadway” and Illegal Heathers was done at a high school (I think), it was a different situation?
Since I don’t think the school itself posted it the folks at Heathers probably felt no need to pursue it as it wasn’t being paraded by the people themselves for notoriety and profit. I of course have no idea if they actually ended up going after them but I doubt it
It's shows like these that make me wonder if they even had an audition process or good practice time. If you're just gonna stand there if you forget the lines without even attempting to improv I have to wonder if the director even cared 😭😭 Kinda hurts more than the homophobia Clarification: I realized after Julie's reply that I wasn't too clear on what I meant. By improv I'm not asking to make up the words to a song, I know how hard it is to improv onstage. Just a small pace or a struck pose or something would be better than blankly standing there :D
Okay, I don't want to defend anything in this mess, but I will say this--sometimes when acting, the words just fly out of your head and you just try to hop to the next thing you remember. Unfortunately, when the words to a song disappear, you can't really do that quickly, you have to keep up with the music. And improvising music, whether with words or just scatting, is a lot harder than ad-libbing your way out of dialogue.
@@butterflyslinky Oh I understand! I've been in musicals before. And I really don't blame the actors. What bugged me was the fact that he just stood there and let the music play, awkwardly. I just thought it would've been better to improv some pacing or something :) really no ill will towards the actors, I blame the directors on this one
I mean my issue with this comment is that the "No Adlibbing" thing bothers you more than the anti-gay agenda they're pushing. Even if it's supposed to be "a joke", it's a bad one and it's not funny. 🤷🏻
Here are my thoughts: --I agree that a wealthy megachurch has no business putting on a full-blown production of a copyrighted show without paying the copyright fees. They also have no business changing the lyrics, or altering the message of the show, without permission. That said: --I believe in "fair use" of songs and other products of entertainment. For example, if a K-12 school put on an amateur show and one kid sang one song from Hamilton without paying a copyright fee, that's "fair use" in my book. Similarly, a church using a song--one song from a musical play--as part of their worship service is "fair use". In my opinion, this would apply whether they performed the original song or altered the lyrics. However, if the adapters kept using the altered song, and if the altered song offended the original writers, then the original writers have a right to ask the adapters to stop. --With the authors' permission and even their help, I can see bringing Hamilton to a G or PG level for a family audience. The original Grease on Broadway had some rough language. However, they now have an alternative version--an authorized, tamer version of Grease suitable for community theater, schools, and, I suppose, houses of worship. While a show like Grease is purely for fun, a show like Hamilton can be instructive and bring these historical figures to life for young students, like 1776 can. (My first Broadway show was 1776, when my high school class went to see the production on Broadway.) In 1973, I was part of a truncated version of Grease presented by my junior class for our Catholic high school's annual talent show in upper Manhattan. (Each of the four grades put on its own shortened version of a musical, or created an original revue.) The script for Grease had been published as a book, and the cast album was out. For our production, we cleaned up the language--for example, "Forget it" instead of "F*** it." Unfortunately, we were unaware of the law forbidding productions of current Broadway shows within a 50-mile radius. The Grease people weren't happy with us, but they decided not to penalize us, since we were just a little Catholic girls' high school. (I was one of the "square" kids who sang the Rydell Alma Mater at the show's start.) I was also part of a production of Gypsy during the early 2000s at Catholic church's community theater in Queens, NY. The director altered some of the stage version's rougher language to the film version's tamer version: "Tough titties" became "Tough! T-U-F: tough!" We prayed before each production, but there were no sermons or altar calls from the stage.
you should react to most recent episode of Drag Race UK. The rusical was a Mary Poppins parody, the runway category was the West End and the lip sync song was from Six.
I have a problem... Everytime i see someone with a Bible on a show I immediately think that this person will make a doorbell gesture and sing.. Hello my name is Elder something To be honest I think this would definitely elevate the material in this case :)
If I had to _guess_ what Pastor Roman Guiterrez (I think I spelled that right?) meant by saying they aren't anti-LGBT and their church welcomes all, I think the beliefs that community in that church hold are like... that homosexuality is legit a problem that some people have, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't love them, and you should welcome people with those problems so you can help them not have those problems and be a supportive friend and good influence to them... which would be great if they put that energy only toward _actual_ problems. Like you, Amy, I don't believe being gay is a sin. Ok, I will watch the rest of the video now. EDIT: Word order.
This is what I heard growing up in Christian school/church. You just have to fight your sin and remain lonely and celibate forever (or force yourself into a hetero marriage) . Horrific. 😩
They need to go back and read the Gospel of Matthew (or see a production of Godspell) where Jesus teaches that before you can take the splinter out of your brother’s eye, you must remove the plank from your own. You have to look at yourself first before “trying” to help others. Lying and stealing? Two broken commandments? If you have to commit two sins just to preach about one than you haven’t removed the plank from your eye and you aren’t really preaching. I left preaching 6 years ago to do musical theater but people like this make me think I need to get back in the pulpit just for sanity’s sake. Also being gay is not a sin. I think we all know that but apparently it still needs to be said. Love you Amy!
AMY can you please do a review of Ride The Cyclone?? I am genuinely in love with it right now (and it's kinda trending on TikTok) the soundtrack is also an absolute bop
Honestly, few things make me laugh harder than one change you did not show - Eliza introducing hundreds of children to Jesus as they are growing up. You use words I do not think you realize what they mean. To personally introduce someone to Jesus is basically saying you’re going to kill them. So, congratulations, Door Church, in meaning to make someone sound spiritual, you now have them confessing they are a serial killer. Lord, what fools these mortals be…
r we gonna ignore the fact that they just blended what comes next and youll be back together? like they didnt even check apple music for the right lyrics. #triggered
I think he accidentally got them wrong, I sometimes mix up the lyrics because the melody is the same. I don’t think it was on purpose considering that he stops singing when he realises
Nope. They are not toddlers. They know what they are doing. They did it anyway. What they did not expect was to have a well-funded legal team on their ass.
Can we just applaud how Lin is donating the money they had to pay to an organization for lbgtqia+ youth in that area
👏🏻
He already had 75 millions $ from Disney i think he don't care about money anymore
@@samuelblachon95130 I think he does. Even if you are rich, you normally still care about your money. Cause you still can end up with nothing if you just throw away everything you made.
It made me so happy! Doing good and thumbing your nose, can’t beat it!
@@samuelblachon95130 it’s of course not about the money. I’m happy because the money from a homophobe church would go to an LGBTQIA service. 😂😂😂😂
“I don’t believe being gay is a sin but I do believe that lying and stealing are sins”
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
I am so beyond sad they didn’t say southern rootin tootin democratic republicans
This is too good 😭😂
What about southern Jesus loving democratic republicans
Wait! They also did Legally Blonde? I am frightened to know what they did to Gay or European
will be prayyyy???
Or is he RUINED!!
Elle, instead of relying on her intelligence and feminity to win the murder trial, prays to Jesus and gets her way.

Rules for thee not me- that church probably

Dead serious when I say that Andrew Hamilton was a guy I knew at uni and he'd have unironically loved everything about this church production.😅
I went to a theatre camp where the rights to shows not being available did not stop us from doing them. But the difference is, we did not charge money to see the shows, and we didn't put the tapes online. Also we didn't change any of the lyrics.
I love how in Say no to this they just gave up on the censoring halfway through and they kinda just leave and then the song is just over

My jr high school also used the "we got permission from disney to perform newsies" excuse. Lol
Nobody sounds like Leslie Odom Junior but, to be fair, the guy playing Burr in this was actually pretty good, he kinda nailed Wait For It XD
Am I the only one who immediately blamed the adults behind this and never once considered blaming the kids?
The characters in this musical are copywrited.
The edit making the "confess your sins" guys voice high was giving me wizard of oz vibes. Also...now I want to see Jesus wizard of oz. Amazing.
Just so you know, apparently most of them are not teenagers. Hamilton and Eliza are 20 and married.
To each other? Cause I wouldn’t put it past this church to only allow couples to play couples ya know
@@gennybaratta2460 Yes they’re married to each other so that’s why they got cast as Hamilton and Eliza
Omg this was such a delight to watch! So needed as a queer visiting old-family-membersTM at the moment xx also idky why but the 'decided to spread anti (sigh)..Eugene' and his tail walking around behind you had me creasing
I dare them to make a religious Heathers production
"Not in the bless them *cross* that's not really my bag anymore" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you said the pastor is coming out.... I thought he was gay 😂😂😂
The best part is that the way the girl sang “mY hOpE iS iN jEsUsSs” she didn’t sound too bad.😭
Soon Barlow and Bear the unofficial Hamilton musical 🤣
😂
If they don’t use the Miranda music, I think this would be fine. You can adapt multiple versions of historical people without copyright infringement.
This really does sound like a joke from from an episode of Glee, I also blame Ryan Murphy
I would totally watch you react to the productions of this church 😂
