I may live in the US but I’m far from NY and I can’t afford to always see broadway shows. The only one that I’ve seen that wasn’t a bootleg was Hamilton. I wish broadway would sell official recordings of their musicals. I would totally pay over $50 or even more for an official recording. It would pay them for their hard work and all of us could get to see the musical without resorting to watching poorly recorded bootlegs because we knew there would be no other way to see it.
I was listening to this while working on a project for grad school and when I heard him switch to his Beetlejuice voice I froze. He sounds just like the animated version of Beetlejuice from the television show. That makes me very happy and I just hope that I can see the show one day!
I hope you get to see the show! I got to see it once and I want to see it at LEAST five more times. I love the show and the cast is so nice (especially Alex). It absolutely does justice to both the movie and the TV series. Plus, the soundtrack is FaNtAsTiC.
@@muppet_of_a_man That's such good news! And congrats on getting to go see the show, it sounds so fantastic. I have been listening to the soundtrack and watching any videos I can find to at least get a taste of it lol. And it makes me so happy to hear how nice everyone is! I've heard that a lot, especially about Alex!
Idk why but when I heard that I thought of that time Deedee Magno Hall asked, "do you guys know what a meme is?" during the Steven Universe panel at SDCC
Allie 12345 it isn’t a vocal trick you can just learn. You have to have to be able to move some specific folds in your throat to be able to do his voice
Chris H he also had a big team of medically trained professionals helping him with learning so I won’t recommend doing this without having trained professionals or else you rise messing up your vocal cords
okay but when he transitions into the voice he immediately just clicks into Beetlejuice and i- even the way he moves was in character like are we not going to talk about the way his eyes just slightly intensify and that head tilt? this man is a gift to humanity
I love Alex and the Beetlejuice cast so much! I got the chance to see the show and it was fantastic. The cast was amazing, the sets were amazing, the songs were AmAzInG, it was (not to be dramatic) life changing. Also, the entire cast is SO nice and they will take the time to talk to you, especially Alex. They were all so genuine. I hope whoever is reading this gets to see the show because it does justice to both the movie and the TV series.
Broadway needs to make more shows available to watch online. So many shows have aired over the years and they all can't preformed at the same time. On the 5th anniversary of a smash hit, make a live recording (Les Mis style) and put it on itunes for a wider audience to see.
Was he in “School Of Rock” before it closed? Because I saw it a couple of weeks before it closed, and then when I saw the clips from Beetlejuice I was like “That guy sounds familiar. Was he in ‘School Of Rock’?”. And turns out he was! But I’m not sure if he was the one I saw. I hope I can see him in Beetlejuice! It looks so good!
10:45 Alex just spent like a good chunk of time talking really intimately about what theater means to him, and these guys just completely ignore it? That's dumb. Personally I think Alex's message is amazing, if I wasn't a fan of his before I'm 1000% one now.
At 11:46 the little head tilt Alex does is funny to me how when he does the voice he also gets into the beetlejuice character on stage, in costume or not. It’s amazing. (Yes my profile pic is actually one I took at the show, it was AMAZING Alex was sooo good)
i feel like watching a show, whether it be broadway, a community show, or a small school performance can change people’s lives. it takes all of your misery away from you. for however long that performance is, it takes you away from life and into a whole new world. even if you go into that misery again once it’s over, that short time of being happy and not worrying about a thing is amazing.
I read that he gets his nails done, so he doesn't bite them (u know, anxiety). I actually tried that too but ALWAYS scratch the polish from the nails (again: anxiety) 😅
I can definitely say that in the show (bc I've seen it) beetlejuice does say/do some volgur shit (mostly towards adam) but I loved it. it made it so funny and that's beetlejuices personality and it makes me love it even more.
I've had so many graduations and other family things planned so I haven't seen the show yet. But, everything I have seen and the soundtrack has me even more excited.
everyone is like “i cant see beetlejuice because i live in europe” i’m out here like “i love in pennsylvania and i’m going to see beetlejuice in january oop”
11:41 *When his voice shifted- Chills man-* *My mind immediately thought of the rat man- seriously I imagined his hair as green and in his black and white suit- also *Laughs in lesbian**
I’m sorry but that moving screen saver in the background was distracting for me, it was like watching the DVD screen saver hoping that it’d bounce into the corner but instead it was trying to watch the logos line up. Otherwise it was a cool interview
Anyone else watch in quarantine know that the show will inevitably die because of them being evicted on June 6th and the quarantine will last till June 7th. So I’m crying 😭.
the transition between his beetlejuice and his normal voice gave me chills it’s so cool
Same tho
Ikrr lol
Bella Guzman it’s for broadway cause he’s beetle juice
I'll say
It's fascinating
me slurping up all the beetlejuice content i can find bc im too broke to actually see a show: 👁👄👁
m o o d
i’ve never felt more personally attacked
Look up Beetlejuice slime tutorial. Trust me
Trust 'em its not actually it ;) ;) ;) but it's close enough ;) ;) ;) ;)

I love how he immediately gets in the character when he does the voice 😂
Kaylee Grace that little head tilt lol. It’s super adorable

“Last night you were snorting coke off your sleeve, the Pope was there.”
Lmao
The pope why was he there ?
the Biggest OOF
I didn’t get to that part in the video yet and was so confused😂
"No, not the pope.."
I love how he can go from 7 packs a day to innocent man baby in 2.5 seconds
It’s perfect that you called him a man-baby lol 😂
Elvis: in the brand new PLAY
Alex: **cringes**
That Theater Nerd THANK YOU for noticing too, i cringed so hard
you know what pedantic means?
i always do cringe when my non theatre nerd friends call musicals plays

and im still not used to him talking normally.

He is, he really is tho!!!❤
i want to see beetlejuice so bad but im poor and live in ireland
I’m poor and live in England..... I feel your pain
You should look for slime tutorials online... who knows... they might help get over your sorrows

"Have you guys heard of... Lin Manuel miranda?"
Nooo who is he? :0 never heard of him
Idk why but when I heard that I thought of that time Deedee Magno Hall asked, "do you guys know what a meme is?" during the Steven Universe panel at SDCC
Mm never heard of her
Hes the guy playing Alexeander Hamilton UwU
Never heard of this "Lin" person. They sound like they've won multiple awards though
when he snapped that voice on it gave my whiplash goddamn ive never omh im
Alex: says mildly funny joke
Ladies behind the camera: AHAHAHAHAHA
me: AHAHAHAHAHA
Him saying “I would do it for 10” made me almost tear up a little bit, that right there is what I love about theater :’)
'those who've always wanted to do it but don't have the talent to do it'
ME
ME
SAME
the exact reason i got into stage management
I want to perform..........but I think I have no talent
M O O D
Just gonna point out:
Alex’s nails are painted black
Most likely for his costume, to make his nails look dirty lol
kam mo Nah dude. It’s a
*l o o k*
it’s for his costume
I read somewhere that he gets his nails done so he won't bite his nails. Smart in my opinion but it could always be for the costume as well
The emo is real
When ur waiting to figure out how to finally get Alex’s beetlejuice voice down and then you learn it’s a medical condition 👀
Diana Carriedo I don’t think it is ..... it is a vocal trick I think . I am pretty sure it’s a learned skill
Diana Carriedo he says in another interview he spent like a year learning to do it properly so I think you can practice it
Allie 12345 it isn’t a vocal trick you can just learn. You have to have to be able to move some specific folds in your throat to be able to do his voice
Chris H he also had a big team of medically trained professionals helping him with learning so I won’t recommend doing this without having trained professionals or else you rise messing up your vocal cords
I actually found out in choir the other day that I am a tenor and being able to go that low as a singing voice allows me to do the Beetlejuice voice.
How is someone that plays such an amazing dirty character be so wholesome🥰🥰
If you close your eyes and listen to Alex transition into his BJ voice it literally gave me goosebumps like woah....cool...
okay but when he transitions into the voice he immediately just clicks into Beetlejuice and i-
even the way he moves was in character like are we not going to talk about the way his eyes just slightly intensify and that head tilt?
this man is a gift to humanity

I've never related more
Can we talk about Alex's rapid blinking at 4:02 after the interview guy called beetlejuice a play instead of musical? That was hilarious
I’m literally in love with Alex
Oh my god he’s adorable
Beetlejuice: *is a literal coked up gremlin*
Alex Brightman: *a soft, quiet boy*

You notice when he switched to his Beetlejuice voice, he turns into Beetlejuice, with his movements. I love that, so fascinating
Can we just agree everyone is attracted to Alex in some sort of way u can't escape it
Met him yesterday. Very funny, awesome guy.
Lucky 😍
UGH!!! I absolutely adore Alex! He’s so wonderful! 😄
I remember listening to this on the way to school. Little did I know I would be obsessed with this musical.
Everything was okay until October saw it on tiktok listened to the song and then IT IS BEETLEJUICE
Was he in “School Of Rock” before it closed? Because I saw it a couple of weeks before it closed, and then when I saw the clips from Beetlejuice I was like “That guy sounds familiar. Was he in ‘School Of Rock’?”. And turns out he was! But I’m not sure if he was the one I saw. I hope I can see him in Beetlejuice! It looks so good!
No, he’d left by then. He was the original Dewey Finn but left the show about a year after it opened
Jaime Pier he returned to the show for a month in 2018 though I think?
He came back in April for a week.
Sascha Houpt i saw him october 2018 i think
He was the original dewy Finn ! Saw him met him balled my eyes out
10:45 Alex just spent like a good chunk of time talking really intimately about what theater means to him, and these guys just completely ignore it? That's dumb. Personally I think Alex's message is amazing, if I wasn't a fan of his before I'm 1000% one now.

I support theater period! I live in Ohio, near the biggest theatre houses outside of NYC! And we enjoy all of the Broadway Shows!!!
as someone who dreams of the stage... this is inspiring. i love you
I just saw Beetlejuice, and Alex is absolutely amazing in it!
His nails!!! Love it
"What motivates you?"
*Alex without even blinking or giving it a second thought* "Money!"
I’ve always wanted to be able to sing with activation of my false Folds. Lena Hall can do it and it gives her a real rockstar vibe. I only wish...
i feel like watching a show, whether it be broadway, a community show, or a small school performance can change people’s lives. it takes all of your misery away from you. for however long that performance is, it takes you away from life and into a whole new world. even if you go into that misery again once it’s over, that short time of being happy and not worrying about a thing is amazing.
He is such a cool dude. I met him at a theatre workshop and chatted with him and he is so kind!!
Hah, I love his expression when they call it a "play"
IT'S A MUSICAL!!!!
A MUSICAL
AND NOTHING'S AS AMAZING AS A MUSICAL
im living for alex’s painted nails
I read that he gets his nails done, so he doesn't bite them (u know, anxiety). I actually tried that too but ALWAYS scratch the polish from the nails (again: anxiety) 😅
This is why I absolutely love my theatre degree and I would not change it for the world.
I can't wait to see this show!!
11:40 just listen to it over and over again it gives you goosebumps it’s so cool
I want to see this play so bad. It's my new obsession
Ashlynn T me too 😔😂😂
ashlynn t SAME
Unfortunately I live in Florida and my family and I rarely visit New York
Glory Days is one of my favourite musicals no joke the soundtrack is so good it doesnt get enough credit
I can definitely say that in the show (bc I've seen it) beetlejuice does say/do some volgur shit (mostly towards adam) but I loved it. it made it so funny and that's beetlejuices personality and it makes me love it even more.
And so he discusses his vocal “trick” at around 10:48
Thank you
THANK YOU
Yaaaaaaassss thanks
🎵THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MAAAAAADE!🎵
7:05 his humility and pure love for his craft is so inspiring, I think about his words anytime I hear the cast album
As an actor currently anxious about the whole "learning by doing" track im on this was really encouraging to hear
He's so adorable
Love Alex Brightman and I’m excited to see this show one day
I absolutely love his voice!
An awesome interview but HIS FUCKING NAILS I LOVE IT
35 MM is like one of my favorite musicals because it is so strange. Alex is totally different, but still amazing in it.
Who else kinda fangirled abit when Alex changed suddenly changed his voice to his bettlejuice voice?
iiStarFox I did
I've had so many graduations and other family things planned so I haven't seen the show yet. But, everything I have seen and the soundtrack has me even more excited.

iT MADE ME SO HAPPY WHEN HE DID THE VOICE ALL OF A SUDDEN (it's at the way end tho folks)
I really want to be an actress but I’m scared of showing it in school but Alex really helped me in this video
ive seen the show 9 times and every time i see it i love it more and more
YES ALEX! I love you! ❤️💕
What a sweet duuuuude! I'll have to put seeing him in a show on my bucket list.
He is a great actor and singer

Life by the numbers doesn’t make sense. Love that.
