“Get. Back. To. The. Lesbians.” Can’t help but think this will be all of us watching the prom film
literally!!!!
For me, I would’ve liked the movie more if the actors had more screen time with Emma. If they’re not going to show the chemistry with Emma and Allysa, the might as well develop their chemistry with her. Only Barry had a chemistry with Emma, but they only dedicated very little screen time on that.
Also with Lin I dont mind him not being an incredibly strong singer, because it literally didnt affect the overall quality of the musical and there's something about his voice that really brings out Hamilton's scrappiness. Like it really nicely juxtaposes with the schyler sisters who have those perfect, refined voices
Yeah at least in the Disney+ recording Lin does okay in the first act but does reallllllly well in the acting department during Its Quiet Uptown
yessss x
To me it’s more like a character actor/singer. It added to Hamilton’s personality ^_^
Also what Lin is is a rapper, which is the style Hamilton(character) primarily uses.
I thought he was putting on a voice the first time I heard him
We need more representation on Broadway for ALTOS and BASSES.
Seriously!
YES!! As a trans woman who is a bass there are no roles for me and it sucks
Yes PLEASE!
Barret is doing this for us
YES! 100%.
Unpopular opinion- I love six with all my heart but it’s more of a concert than a musical. There is little to no strict plot and is more just singing about different little connected stories if you get me? I still love it though!
Didn't they mention in in the "musical" itself?
Hadestown deserves the hype Hamilton has (except for the ticket prices lol)
Broadway tickets shouldn’t cost more than $150, with the possible exceptions of the front rows. Let more people come see them.
Bootlegs are the only way some people (international fans, disabled people who can’t physically get into the theatre, people who can’t afford it) can see shows, and shouldn’t be such a big deal. I get the money thing, but worry about making it more accessible to the masses first.
And then they don't release pro shots because it'll 'reduce' ticket sales, nobody can buy tickets because they're so goddamn expensive!
I LOVE Ben Platt's Evan, but I think Andrew Barth Feldman may be a better fit for the film adaptation. His performance was incredible and He is the right age range for it. Again, I LOVE Platt, but I think he may a bit too old to play Evan. Still excited for it regardless.
@Dax Madison-Cedillo Did someone say Draco Malfoy????
Yes!I agree!
yes! i wish the got andrew to do it, not to mention he's an actual teen
I COMPLETELY agree. I LOVE Ben with all my heart (honestly SO much) but I’m sorry he’s too old for it (especially in a movie. I feel like you can get away with it on stage a bit more) but I would’ve really loved to see someone closer to the actual age (like Andrew) play Evan. It just feels like a little bit of an injustice to the story tbh, it’s meant to be about a teenage boys struggle with social anxiety and feeling suicidal etc. And having Evan be played by someone who’s almost 30 just doesn’t seem as personal somehow?
I totally agree! Andrew should be Evan in the movie, I'm not saying Ben is bad HE'S WONDERFUL but he isn't fit for the role anymore. We've already seen Ben in this situation, when he was in the politician's first season Payton didn't look like a high-schooler, we couldn't sympathize that much with him because he didn't look that age. Imagine in Evan Hansen, the storyline is a rollercoaster of emotions all centered in a high school kid. It'll be nearly impossible for the people who watch the movie to sympathize with the things he makes up, becasue he looks like an adult, even making Evan the bad guy. If Andrew is in the movie it is totally believable and it's easier to sympathize with his situation. Well, that's just my opinion!
Glinda is flawed, especially in the beginning, but through the show, just because she doesn't become perfect, it doesn't make her wicked. She's just flawed. She's done wrong things yes, but she never hurt anyone to, say, Nessa's extent, or the wizard or ms. Morable's level. THEYRE the wicked ones,
with their fancy gowns
and their fancy airs
True
I may be misinterpreting the show but I feel like the whole point of Wicked is to say that no one is really truly wicked, just flawed. And saying that Glinda is wicked is kind of missing the whole point of the show. But I could be wrong, I haven’t listened to Wicked in an ungodly amount of time
I love how Glinda truly feels like a real, grounded person by the end of the show. She really develops into a well-rounded person who has made both good and bad decisions in her life, and who knows how to make the hard choices and what their consequences are
In 50 years, we'll have a show about how Morrible wasn't wicked but just bullied for her horrible makeup skills
Jeff Blim's high notes have become their own character and that's why people enjoy it. I love to make fun of him for not singing in his octave, but I love his chaotic high notes ngl
i- i’d love to say i agree but i just can’t. that last one in nightmare time... murder me...
They should not have cut "In the Bedroom Down the Hall" from Dear Evan Hansen.
Natasha Pierre and the Comment of 1812 should be revived
I love Hamilton, but I feel like it's a 10/10, while people are making it seem like a 100000/10
In the Heights needs more love.
It’s always bothered me that Cynthia never got to have a song and ITBDTH was so beautiful
These are all so true. I love ITBDTH with my whole heart.
Yes All of this is true
Totally agree about Great Comet!
ith > hamilton i have to say it
LMM's voice isn't strong enough to play Hamilton but we happily give him a free pass because he's a genius. I still laugh at the thought that he originally wanted to play Burr.
BUT his voice is perfect in ITH.
✨
Oooh other hot take: the Fiyero casting type needs to change. In the original source material Fiyero is a person of colour, so it only feels respectful to have the casting type align with that. Its an easy and appropriate way to make more roles for poc actors on broadway and a show like wicked would give amazing exposure for these actors!
also, as an Asian American gal I think we need more representation of cocky guys of color, like Fiyero 😂 they DEFINITELY exist and musicals should reflect that
@@Grace-ez2ot 100%!
I saw Wicked in Korean and honestly it’s ✨elevated✨ (so is the Korean Elisabeth omgggg amazing)
OMG YESSS
yes!!!!!!!! we’ve had enough white boys
One of my opinions is that theatre awards don’t correlate to how good a show is and shouldn’t be put on such a high pedestal. It’s either a popularity contest, or are just determined by the thoughts of one type of audience, mostly old white men, who will not enjoy shows like Beetlejuice because it is not targeted towards them, hence meaning it got shut down even though it meant a lot to a lot of young people. Either they need to be revamped, or admit they are just opinions and not truths. The 2020 Tony Awards should prove this point, considering they are almost a joke.
In short, theatre awards mean nothing and while they’re fun to watch, are completely bias and are just the thoughts of one demographic, yet are put on a pedastal and determine how well a show does because wider audiences don’t understand this.
Hope this made sense.
I would like this but it has 69 likes
Unpopular opinions no one asked for owo
- Robert Manion is (no joke) one of the best performers in overall theatre. I'd love to see him someday reaching broadway.
- Also about Starkid. It really annoys me when some people take it as a joke. I'm not meaning about the show itself, since is basically comedy :v. But more on the company and the work this lovely people make, which is usually pretty underrated.
- The Lighting Thief one of the best musicals. Great music, great performances, and a great intention. Is a love letter, to theatre, to the kids and to all the Percy Jackson fans out there. And seeing how this show has been discriminated by the tony's is really upsetting.
- SPONGEBOB THE MUSICAL SLAPS
- Movie musicals do exists, and are usually the reason why musicals are popular worldwide. Such things like the movies adaptations like Mamma Mia, to originals like Nightmare Before Christmas. Also Musical series like glee or Crazy Ex Girlfriend.
- Idk how but Chicago has become an underrated classic.
Edit: I- more than 200 likes? Oh dude, thanks :'3
Agree with the first two, disagree with the next one (idk about Spongebob), agree with the last two
I haven't watched/listened to the lightning theif but I agree with the rest!
Yesssss!!! Spongebob the musical is one of my favorites! Mostly because it’s was the first Broadway show I saw, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Robert manion is gift to this world
I haven't listened to SpongeBob but you're 100% right with all of theseeee
“I could genuinely just sit here and cry about Broadway for an hour”
Ha. Same.
My unpopular opinion is that the way dear Evan Hansen is written is horribly toxic in the way it portrays mental health. Next To Normal will always be my pick
BroadwayBookworm325 personally i agree but also think it could be fixed making Evan accountable and showing that having mental health issues is not an excuse for shitty behavior. I was dumbfounded by the end, it felt like it missed a proper ending, because the one we've got was "eh you did some bad stuff but it actually worked out in the end, my parents and the world needed your lies, so it was actually a good thing".
I agree. I actually side with the parents in DEH. Even tho i love DEH. And yes i agree Next to normal potrays mental illness very well. As good as it get’s
Agreed, it's such a manipulative presentation of social anxiety. I don't really feel bad for Evan.
I love DEH but I’m gonna agreee
As someone who can’t fucking stand DEH (I literally only liked For Forever, You Will Be Found, To Break In A Glove, Words Fail and So Big/So Small. Every other song was just the fucking same.), and as someone with social anxiety, I agree.
They had a perfect chance for the ending, maybe Zoe could yell at Evan, unable to forgive him. But nope! ‘We needed your lies, so it’s fine!’ What THE HELL?! It makes me wonder how the fuck this show win the Tony’s...
And I can agree, social anxiety is hard. But I’m sure 99% percent of us would NOT LIE AND USE SOMEONE’S DEATH FOR CLOUT!!! It just...doesn’t work like that!
It’s not good either, especially for those with mental illnesses that are impressionable and thinks that how they should act. Won’t say anything else, other than as someone with autism and social anxiety, I find Dear Evan Hansen to be extremely offensive.
My own opinion, I don’t know if its unpopular or not, is that the Be More Chill original cast recording is miles ahead of the broadway recording.
From what I know, the Broadway recording isn't liked.
This is definitely not unpopular in the BMC community. Everyone (including me) prefer Two Rivers to Broadway. The only good things from Broadway for me were Will R (as a actor and a person. I love him so much.), Tiffany Mann, and LGW. (Also George but he was in the original so I didn't count him)
i like will roland a lot more than will connoly, but i'm so mad about all the lyric changes (especially pitiful children oml)
@@nix4114 Same! Him and George are my main celebrity crushes!
AGREE
Honestly, i think Lin knows he's not the strongest musical singer, and if Hamilton was written by someone else, he probably wouldn't be cast as Alexander, but he is a prime example of WANNA GET A JOB? MAKE IT YOURSELF! and as a fellow actor and musical singer, i think this is one of the most respectable things. When he writes a spectacle like Hamilton, he deserves to also be the one to play one of the male leads as the OG cast.
1. hamilton is amazing, but i got bored of it really quick
2. i don't like dear evan hansen that much. i feel like it's glorifyig connor's suicide by everyone starting to like him only AFTER he died, which i don't think is a good message to be sending to young fans
3. you are still allowed to call yourself a fan of musicals even if you've only seen hamilton, deh, and heathers
4. (i don't think this one is unpopular, but i wanna say it anyway) the fact that they made beetlejuice pansexual in the musical meas so fucking much to me and it makes me super happy because he's such an awesome character and i like having a character i can relate to
Completely agree with this but the evan hansen one, people starting to like Connor after death was part of the plot because when someone does commit suicide or die everyone else acts like they were friends with them and loved them (they do something similar in Heather's). Zoe also says that when she went back to school everyone was being nice to her cause, "she's the dead kids sister". This kinda stuff does happen in real life but nobody talks about it or calls people out for it.
Some opinions:
-West Side Story should stay with the new lyrics in spanish.
-Song & Dance is ALW's best show (but only the Bernadette Peters version), the second best is Sunset Boulevard.
-SIX will get a new script by the end of the decade, it needs to evolve.
-The female cast members carry the show 90% of the time.
-Not every man in the show should be a tenor.
-The Mamma Mia movies handle the ensemble the way they should, having them appear throughout the story.
-Follies and Company are Sondheim's best shows.
-Women on the Verge is Yazbek's best show.
Six's script actually got some edits that I felt weakened it
Like having Parr being forced to speak up instead of shutting down the fighting herself, and Jane's part becoming... it seems kind of ad-libbed? Like I saw 2 versions of the script after "What a stressful situation that never happened" was removed, and the lines were pretty different and in one of them they actually repeated a joke in an awkward way in its place. And then there's taking a lot of fun out of the IDNYL reveal and making it a lot more "We are saying what is happening. This is humor."
The six script is actually pretty different now than the bootleg that’s around (the one with the OG 6) when it properly came to the west it got updated. I’d imagine the Broadway version will be updated too. I just imagine they’ll do yearly or biannual updates like with Mean Girls getting a new update
NOT EVERY MALE ACTOR NEEDS TO BE A TENOR! Say it louder for the people in the back.
Sunset boulevard slaps
Agreed on West Side Story. It just makes sense. And Lin’s lyrics are great. People who don’t like WSS in Spanish are xenophobic and probably not Latine 🤷♀️
Unpopular glee opinion: the CHARACTER (not actor) of Finn annoyed me so much, almost as much as the CHARACTER (not actress) of Rachel😂😂 my opinion tho
I agree, I kind of hated them most after season three.
same!! i hated finn.
Same
Why doesn’t lea Michelle annoy you? She’s a racist and she told a black actress she would sh*t in her wig. She also called production “cockroaches”.
@@totagarboua8540 i mean she does annoy me, and I do think she can be offensive, but I also think shes a very talented actress
I think that the misogyny in the plot of Last Five Years is purposeful and part of why the relationship of Cathy and Jamie was the way it was.
It's also autobiographical and I think what reads as general misogyny as more to do with how Brown viewed a former partner. I think that's why Cathy frequently comes off as shrill.
interesting ! One may also argue that the show highlights societal norms concerning gender roles and how they may hurt people and relationships :) I've never thought about it that way
@@lindsaym.h.3583 yeah I think that’s why it comes of that way bc it’s so authentic and truthful and the ugly truth is misogyny is real and was ever more so in 2002 when the musical came out
@@CP-gk4ri agreed. And I think it has a touch of trying to break down gender norms when Cathy sings “I can do better that” and “Climbing Uphill”
unpopluar opinion: in the heights > hamilton like don't get me wrong i love hamilton but in the heights tells such a beautiful story of a neighborhood coming together and trying to preserve culture! it doesn't get enough love. everyone regards hamilton as this "first of it's kind" hip hop musical but in the heights has the same vibe to it lol that's just lmm's style
I agree. I seem to gravitate more towards in the heights because the story seems a lot more personal to LMM
I think in the heights will get more visibility after the movie and everybody will fall in love with the story, characters and songs
Saaaaaame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Hamilton but I love in the heights more
get ready for my life story:
the first broadway musical i got into was wicked because my mam took me to see it when it did a uk tour as i was studying defying gravity for my gcse music. i fell in love with it and i’d been to see PLENTY of shows before but not of that character or of the BEAUTY of that show. so then, i started listening to it non-stop *hahaha hamilton pun*. the year after i saw wicked, hamilton was on the royal variety show. i LOVED alexander hamilton so decided to listen to the cast album and i fell in love with it. i listened to it over and over and over for about 5 months and i wouldn’t listen to anything else. then, i started liking bring it on and carrie and mean girls and dear evan hansen and six etc etc. just last year or the year before, i started liking in the heights. now, as much as i love hamilton, i’d rather put in the heights on as i think i overplayed hamilton and there’s not much more i can get out of it.
you’re welcome for that unnecessarily long comment :)
YES! And also Claudia’s death is sadder than Phillip’s
"Ughh get back to the lesbians!!" is such a mood

@@aliasuser_ not biased that’s just how to the world works rn
Come From Away is my absolute favorite show. I don't know if it's just me being Canadian and having that extra pride aspect, but... I've gone and seen it 4 times, over the span of 2 years, (all in Toronto, never on Broadway), and it makes me cry every single time I see it, and a lot of the times I listen to it. It's just one of those shows where you leave at the end, genuinely feeling better about the world. I can maybe understand how people who don't know it well wouldn't like it (I was skeptical of it the first time I saw it, based only on a vague description), but I dont know how you can still have that opinion after sitting down and watching it
Agree! It's a fantastic show, really makes you feel good.
Loved seeing it both in Toronto and New York. Such different reactions from the audiences. The Canadian audience reacted so much more!
@@virginieroy9707 That’s really interesting to me. Do you mean in terms of laughter/emotion or praise/clapping???
Yes. Everything about it is just so great, catchy, and wholesome!
I did wonder if the person who's opinion got read out had actually seen the show in person. Saw the show in Toronto 3 times and loved it EVERY time. Sure there are parts I like more than others, but it's still on of the best shows I've seen, and above all else, a beautiful story of human kindness
17:26 the gasp was lowkey a riff and i am *living* for it
FINALLY! This was the comment I was looking for!
Don’t know if this counts but I want the DEH movie to book based rather than musical based. I feel like the book gives a lot more depth into the characters which helps you to create more of a sense of why Evan did what he did and also gives a lot more depth to Connor which I feel is very important
Oh I absolutely agree. I adore the book and would love to see the movie be more based on that!!
Same. The movie deffo needs to look at the book also.
When I read it I just loved the fact we saw more of Connor and saw that he wasn’t truly alone in the world
Lin-Manuel Miranda is not a strong singer, granted, but he's not *bad*... And he's NOT a bad actor (proof: Mary Poppins Returns and His Dark Materials)
Just because he's a good movie actor, does not mean he is good on stage.
I think he's fine, but many movie actors are not cut-out for the stage
Unpopular opinion of my own which may nor may not actually be popular. Jamie Muscato is the best JD by showing his trauma and weak side the best, and therefore that makes his psychopathic actions more realistic and therefore more scary. Also the fact that he gets funnier, more confident, more outspoken, and more happy directly after killing is THE BEST in terms of characterization because it really nails just how JD is messed up mentally. Not just why he's screwed up on a logical level, but in a physical, mental, and emotional level. Jamie knows his character's motivation in terms of JD's trauma, and it makes the performance just *chef's kiss*!
yeah same haha
Unpopular Glee Opinion: Run Joey Run was actually such a fun song I don’t understand all the slack and hate it gets 😂
Also I don’t understand all the hype around Kinky Boots... I’ve never personally liked the show but I know so many people that do and that’s okay.. 😌
Agree, Run Joey Run is ✨ amazing ✨and I haven’t seen Kinky Boots so idk what to think
@@jesscervantes13 I’m glad someone agrees with me! I haven’t seen the show myself but I’ve never really liked the soundtrack when I’ve tried to listen to it and I don’t understand the storyline 😂
@@sophiec7498 I would highly recommend watching the movie that the show is based on. I love the movie and saw it before watching the show. I think once you know the storyline and understand what’s happening, it makes a lot more sense. Although, even if you still don’t like the music, I would still recommend the movie because it’s really good.
@@Fram383 yeah I’ll have to start looking into it once lockdown is over! Thank you so much 😌
I guess I'm in the 1% of people who like Annie but who've never played the title role.
Me too! 🤣
I like Annie and I played the police officer and the guy who pushes the president's wheelchair...
I love Annie. I grew up with the movie which came out the year after I was born.
I am also in said 1% hahaha
Annie was one of the first shows I ever watched live, so it's a little special to me for that reason.
I like annie specifically for ms. hannigan, she's always been one of my favorite villains, & carol burnett's version has always stuck with me
I was a bartender at Broadway shows for 4 years. It did hurt my heart asking for $33 for a cocktail. I would never upsell the vodka. At least the well drinks are only $21. And I also poured a "gay bar" pour. For those of you that don't know, drinks at gay bars are much stronger than at straight bars here in America. So you basically got a triple if you came to me. Also at Mean Girls you do get $4 off on your next drink if you bring your cup back.
get me to the gay bars in nyc then!!!!
What I Iike about the Les Mis film is that it made the whole Baracade section (in my opinion the most boring section) a lot more dynamanic and interesting
Yeah, I feel like it is hard to do the Barricades onstage, so the way they got to expand it on film was nice
@@luthientinuviel3883 Exactly. Like no shade at all to stage show but Im just glad the film took the oppertunites that the stage version never had and made to make more exiting.
The best part is that the film barricade was made in Diagon Alley
@@cherrywoodstudios385 No way really. Thats cool. Gotta say 'the confrontation' would be a lot better with wands.
Unpopular Opinion: I hate the changes made to Janis in Mean Girls the Musical. She is just as mean and manipulative as Regina, using Cady for her own revenge and completely abandoning her when she inevitably can't handle it. In the movie, she admits that she's mean, but in the musical, she's treated as this cool alt girl and her actions are praised in 'Rather Be Me'. Also in general I find the Mean Girls musical to be really unnecessary.
I feel Janis has always been like that, even in the movie, But I agree, Id Rather Be Me is supposed to be Janis coming clean, But it ends up being the whole school just worshiping Janis for some reason? WHAT???
Those of us who were adults during 9/11 have a very different experience of Come From Away and it is the most incredibly powerful emotional experience I have ever had in 40 years as a Musical Theatre fan.
I know what you mean. I was a child when during 9/11 but remember it like it was yesterday and was very affected by it, so think that's why I feel connected to the story of come from away as well!
My opinions:
Hamilton isn't overhyped. But I do agree In The Heights deserves more attention. But they are both great musicals who shouldn't be compared
- Be more chill broadway wasn't that bad in my opinion, and Will Roland is a great Jeremy and doesn't deserve hate
-I hate Maureen and Mimi from Rent
-Anastatia is insanely underrated
-As much as I loved Heather Macnamara from Heathers, she's not an 'innocent cinnamon roll'
-Great Comet, Amelie, and Jagged little pill are underrated
- I hate Chloe from Be more chill and I feel bad for Brooke
-Spongebob the musical Slaps
-Washington on your side is harder to rap then guns and ships
-It's kind of unfair to hate replacements because they aren't like the originals ( Like Will Roland and Presley Ryan)
-I prefer the stage version of into the woods
-Twisted is the best Starkid musical
I agree with ALL of these, These are facts lol
I haven't seen many people hate on Presley. The Beetlejuice fans I've seen love her commitment to the character and show, which is something they never felt for Sophie. And Great Comet is not underrated IMO. It's impossible for it to be underrated when you people never shut up about its unfair treatment.
I agree with bmc, i don’t see why people hate on the Broadway version. i don’t have much knowledge of the show, but when i heard people were hating on the Broadway version I was a bit confused. I had listened to both versions and honestly preferred the Broadway one better.. but that’s just me :)
SPONGEBOB THE MUSICAL DOES SLAP AND THIS NEEDS TO BE KNOWN
@@rae0993 If you go on pretty much any video comparing them, e.g. "Who sang Dead Mom better?" there's so many comments saying "sophia is sooo much better than Presley" or "I kind of hate Presley's Lydia"
Can someone fill me in on the anti-LGBTQ+ actor in mean girls? I'm curious.
There's an anti LGBTQ+ actor in mean girls?
It was the person who played Aaron originally (not Kyle Selig but some other guy... I forgot his name). He is/was very anti-LGTBQ+ and it made much of the cast very upset; especially Grey.
Edit: His name is Cameron Dallas and he actually did not originate the role of Arron (Kyle did) but he was casted as a stunt and everyone hated him so he was only there for like a week.

Unpopular Opinion: I like the placements of "I Dreamed a Dream" and "On My Own" in the Les Miserables movie more than the stage show. I absolutely love the stage show more, but I think the placements of the those songs work better for the characters.
True that. Especially I dreamed a dream. On stage it's just "too pure and pretty" and that's not what the song should be. Fantine is crushed and devastated. She has reached the bottom, and that pain should be reflected in the way the song is performed. Anne Hathaway does a great job on that.
Okay, but...
LEA SALONGA
Yeah completely agree! Although the stage show is definitely much better in a lot of ways. What do you think about the placement of Stars in the movie? I don’t really know as I feel it makes Javert seem more weirdly obsessed with Valjean for the whole period of time before the revolution as opposed to just happening to see him again later and pledging to hunt him down, but I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad change.
Come from away is genuinely the best thing ever! I don’t know how anyone can say anything differently!😂💗
True!
YES. I love it so very much!
Best quote of the day : ✨fat people can fall in love too✨
As someone who got into Hadestown via the broadway version, I like the broadway arrangemnts better in a lot of ways, but I ultimately prefer the off-broadway version because the performances are better and because the live vibe works really well for Hadestown.

Unpopular opinion (?) - Death Note the musical is great and I'm still waiting for them to put it on spotify
Yesssss!
YES
YES
also nice pfp
Those songs legit slapp! Only Human is my jam!
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely hate “Blue” from the OBC of Heathers. It just made me so uncomfortable and it was definitely not the type of song I would like. I’ve heard a lot of people complain about the changes to the soundtrack, but I love the replacement song “You’re welcome” from the West End version.
I dislike Blue as well but it's so blasted catchy -
Yeah I agree! Im glad they changed it because it really wasnt appropriate but that song will be forever stuck with me because of how catchy it is
@Camila Rosa Pérez Montes yeah i completely agree!
Personally I like both of them but I prefer You’re Welcome just because it doesn’t make me feel as uncomfortable.
10:00 I would just like to say that I have red hair, blue eyes, and freckles and I got cast as Miss Hannigan in Annie so....
this is the real definition of pain
I'll put you in your place from the Percy Jackson musical is there most amazing musical song I've ever heard.
Definitely my favourite song from the musical
It's not my favorite but it's amazing.
that and pick a side (even though it got cut 😭) are my favourite
Let's be real. Every song in TLT slaps
But none will ever be compared to Luke's reprise of Good Kid lmao
I really want a full version of that mini-song Amy kinda sang "Fat People Can Fall In Love"
Unpopular Opinion: Tuck Everlasting shouldn’t have been overshadowed by Hamilton. It was equally as good but for a different type of audience.
SCREAM IT FROM THE TOP OF BUILDINGS THIS SHOW IS ADORABLE
Absolutely the worst show I’ve ever seen on Broadway
@@wesman422 Hamilton or tuck everlasting?
HELL YEAH
@@wesman422Tuck Everlasting? Yep, bc only rich people will be able to see ham
So I agree that Lin is not the strongest singer but I think he is an incredible actor! His acting is just so good
Have you ever reacted to the John Mulaney SNL musical sketches? Idk how popular SNL is where you are, but I love them.
YESSS OH MY GOD THOSE ARE MY FAVORITES
Cha cha slide?
Unpopular Opinion:
I love Broadway version of Be More Chill just as much as the Off-Broadway version! I think they are both great in their own ways!
Ugh true! I din’t really like the squip’s voice in the broadway version, but It doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily bad. Just different honestly.
16:16 Beetlejuice really wasn't lying when he said "drink your 50 dollar wine"
Eddie's version of Empty Chairs at Empty Tables will never make me emotional I think it's one of the most beautiful versions of it. Hate me if ya want 😂
I think the Les Mis film was only semi saved by the younger cast members-- Hugh Jackman and cast that played the older characters were really held back and fell so horrendously flat, which means the whole first half is the longest two weeks of my life (at least it seems so).
Wicked is my favourite musical, it was the show that made me fall in love with theatre. It’s just everything you need in a musical: absolutely incredible music, amazing costumes, relatable characters but still something away from reality and it’s just one so good!!!! How someone doesn’t get chills at the end of Defying Gravity astounds me!! 💚💚💚
The first musical I ever saw was Wicked on Broadway when I was 3-5 and it was the same set up that Kurt and Rachel sang For Good on!😯😯😯
Unpopular opinion: "From Here to Eternity" is so underrated and deserved better
COME FROM AWAY IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSICAL
Your opinion on the 10th anniversary Les Mis dream cast is accurate. Fuckin Ruthie Henshalls I dreamed a dream is impeccably performed and sung it gives me chills. Lea Salongas Eponine is pure perfection. Philip Quast as Javert is why I love that character so much he shows his complexity and vulnerability all while sounding great vocally. And Michael Ball as Marius?! So GOOD🖤 I could go on🤷🏻♀️
You forgot the TheradineS! (Sorry, my spelling is awful)
I absolutely adore everything about the 10 anniversary cast of Les Mis. Truly the dream cast
I'm so mad that James Corden is in the Prom Movie. I was really looking forward to it because Iove the musical (and Andrew Rannells), but then I heard he was in it and,,, uhhh,,,
Idk man. I've got nothing against him as a person, I just haven't liked him in anything I've seen him in (cough cough Into The Woods and Cats) so the news has really put me off.
Edit: having seen the film honestly I was pleasantly surprised, he's still not my favourite but he's better than I expected
Yeah I think he did okay in the movie but I would’ve been happier with someone else in it 🤷🏽♀️
@@tatiana7728 that's fair
“He’s short and lovely” 🤣😍
I would not have been into theater without movie musicals lol so thank god for them.
Unpopular Opinion:
Cats is a good, fun, musical. The movie destroyed the characters and story, and will turn people off of the really good stage version of the show. AKA the best Cats movie is the 1998 stage version.
im late but i agree. cats is a really good musical if you understand the plot.
Not sure if anyone has already mentioned it but the supposed "anti-lgbt" actress is Laura Leigh Turner, the current Karen (although she only had her first performance before the Broadway shutdown). People are saying that she is anti-lgbt as she is a conservative/republican however a lot of the Mean Girls cast have defended her.
Which is stupid I hate these social justice warriors, who say ":OH YOU DID THE HELICOPTER JOKE, THEN THAT MEANS YOU WANT ME DEAD" I swear I just, ugh
I thought it was Cameron Dallas who was anti-LGBT
@@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318 He might be but more of a deal was made out of Laura Leigh's casting, you just have to search her name on Twitter to see the hate she got from Mean Girls fans for her casting.
@@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318 Im still trying to understand what that's about. So far all I got is that he threw water at this guy? But I still dont know what that has to do with anything
So for Mean Girls/It Roars: "none of my closest friends even HAS hands" is grammatically correct. "None" is singular and so the verb "has" agrees with it, ignoring the phrase "of my closest friends."
Many people think the verb would agree with "friends" ("friends have hands") but it actually is "none has" ... That being said, I realize it sounds weird because people don't casually talk like that! Might have been more fitting for Cady to use improper grammar since she's a teenager and more of a math person (than English, I assume).
Whew! See, my English degree has a purpose sometimes 😂
I think the placement of „I Dreamed a Dream“ is much more impactful in thr Les Mis movie than it is in the show, but overall I prefer the stage version. Although I haven‘t seen the newest one at the Sondheim yet, so...
the Puerto Rico lmm thing was bc last year there was a hurricane in PR last year and to raise money they did a special week long (I think) run of Hamilton where lin came back and all money and profits made went to a. charity to help rebuild homes and places destroyed by the hurricane
@@rebeccanoel2109 true, but he did ?apologize
? about the whole thing. i felt bad for him cause he got a lot of death threats and he’s not really that political, decider.com/2020/10/06/siempre-luis-hbo-lin-manuel-miranda-hamilton-puerto-rico/
@@rebeccanoel2109 🤍🤍 social media blows things way too out of proportion and nobody’s perfect. he will always be my role model but that news broke my heart, so glad he addressed it.
@@rebeccanoel2109 Yeah sorry that was my comment and it sounded way too serious. It was just a bunch of stuff that wasn’t great and that no one really acknowledges. There was a lot that went wrong with the Puerto Rico Hamilton run and yeah LMM apologized kind of? He made a couple mistakes and I just meant maybe give a better apology and have his fans actually acknowledge that things go wrong instead of treat him as a literal god who has done nothing wrong, which he has because he’s human.
@@c.lawnmower_ yeah he apologized-ish, but i think he should give a much more brief apology. he’s done a bit controversial things, but i’m glad that he ?apologized?
@@glasstablegcrls Don't feel bad for him. Meaningful art is inherently political and saying you 'just' want to make art feels like a cop out to me
"Get back to the Lesbians" YAS Im here for this quality content sis!!
I think part of the situation with The Last Five Years is that it's so heavily influenced by Jason Robert Brown's own divorce (to the point where he was taken to court and had to change things) that some very messy, uncomfortable feelings about his ex-wife come up and he probably isn't objective in the writing process. That's not an excuse or a denial, but I think it's why we see it so heavily in that show and not necessarily in Brown's other work, imo.
Ever since Hairspray, Dove Cameron has been my pick as Glinda and I’m glad other people think so!! I felt so alone on that hill.

hamilton isn’t overrated, but a bit overhyped, but it’s a work of art and it people should stop calling it “rAcisT, aNd yoU’rE rAcIst If YoU suPpOrt It” and “hAmiLtOn iS rAcIsT fOr CaStInG POC/bLaCk pEoPlE aS sLaVe OwnErs!1!1!” “It’S bLaCkWaShInG and I cAn’T sTaNd POC pLaYiNg sLavE oWneRs jUsT fOr sOmE sOcIal JuStIce wArRiOr sHit!1!1”
^^ but you can criticize it all you want.
as much as i love lin, he may not be the best singer, but he’s the best hamilton, try change my mind.
jagged little pill is underrated AF
just because a someone who writes a musical and casts themself as the lead doesn’t mean that’s a bad thing nor that they can’t be a triple threat
if amelie didn’t cut out a lot of stuff from the show it would have had a tony nom and still be on broadway

please stop shipping treebros we don’t stan toxic shipping 😍

Unpopular Opinion: Hadestown isn't underrated!
Let me explain ...
in this new decade, we find a lot of content online, so when a show gets popular it's obviously going to be all over the internet, people will talk about it yada ... yada ...
Hamilton was a freacking big production, the amount of search and money in the project is Ludacris.
So, when a musical like Hadestown, that is freacking amazing, and well done, doesn't recive the same amount of hipe or reconization, people get mad, and says that Hamilton is overrated, or Hadestown is underrated (i'm bored, those words have been thrown around a lot ...), but acually not, they're totally different from each other, Hadestown feels like a traditional musical, as good as it is(it is SOOO GOOD! i got totaly hiped as a fan of Greek Mythology!!!), while Hamilton fits into the cathegorie of being inovative.
The sucess comes from being something new in musical theater (just like Phantom or Wicked were at their times)
Doesn't meam you have to like one more than the orher, just that you don't have to compare or put one down to reconize the other!
But if you wanna compare them, i believe there's a lot of more productive ways to do that, than saying "overrated" or "underrated", let's elaborate more our opinions
(Sorry for the big ass comment! And i love your chanel!!! 😂❤️)
hadestown is WICKED innovative, what?
@@QuikVidGuy sorry, i don't understand wich part you're talking 😶
If i mispronpuced something, i'm sorry, english isn't my first language!
I used Phantom and Wicked as examples of musicals that like Hamilton got a lot of hype because of what they brings of new to musical theatre!
@@e.c9770 I think what they're trying to say is Hadestown is very innovative. In some countries the word wicked means very. Or they were trying to say Hadestown is as innovative as Wicked was when it debuted
While I disagree that Hadestown is classical musical theatre, I do think fans overuse the words over/underrated. We need to recognise that just we don't like something doesn't mean that everyone is wrong for liking it. IMO any musical that wins the Tony for best musical isn't underrated, but people perceive it as such because it's not everyone's all time favourite.
A lot of this comes from people's tendency to be very hyperbolic on the internet. It can lead to very stale opinions because all every one talks about is not liking the new popular musical or calling a very popular musical under hyped because it's not everyone's fave. I would love for conversations to move past this.
@@booksvsmovies THANK YOU!!
I love Hadestown, but i doesn't like talking about the show because of of how superficial the discussion ends up being
I kinda of agree you!!! And i could have expressed my opinion better!
What meant with Hamilton being innovative/inventive is how, not only the extructure of the show seems to be meticulously though, but also i rarely see a Musical with the soundtrack that people that doesn't even like musicals could listen casually(as someone who have been a fan of musicals for less than 4 years, i can tell how much songs i used to skip when trying to make a playlist)
Normally we see people that doesn't like or aren't used to musicals listening 2 or 3 songs, but not the entire musical. The hip-hop being not only refered but also present into the entire musical, was new, and this is why i understand how the Hamilton got so popular(this and the massive market campaign...)
Phantom was famous for being BIG and expensive(also for making a more of a sexual/romantic version of Eric)
Wicked for bringing a new look for a very famous story, and making a villain a misunderstood figure(this is common today, but at the time it was something new)
Cats for being weird and for not having a storyline
Being expensive or popular doesn't always equals good, that's why i'm happy with the sucess of musicals like Six, even if the storyline isn't nothing new(we have seen a lot of musicals using historical facts as a base), the format is(doesn't matter if everyone likes it or not, we can't denial how it opens new possibilities of how to make a musical)
What i meamt with Hadestown being traditional/classic is how it is more of the musical formula, the extructure is the traditional for a musical, but the way they use a greek myth but place it in more recent days is of course something new.
What made me a fan of Hadestown was the Greek Mythology and how they made the characters be exactly how i would've though them to the present days
I have always loved Persephone, and this version is more of a modern look in what the whole kidnapping/manipulation and love/hate realationship would have resulted
A lot of medias fails to represent how troubled Hades and Persephone's relationship would be, making her purely loving and vulnerable, but this sassy, and caring version seems more cottect
Same with Eurydice, the show gave her the personality we can't see in the actal myth, she isn't purely passive in her situation.
I love how strong the females characters that are very passive and vulnerable in the are in the show without being OOC comparing with the myth ❤️
@@e.c9770 oh I think I understand your point about Hadestown now.
I played Judas, in JCS. Judas and Jesus both switch between antagonist and protagonist throughout the story (though it is more often framed with Judas as the antagonist). But Rome (The council in "This Jesus Must Die") is unquestionably the villain!
OMG! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU BUILD WIGGLY!!!!
my green fur has just arrived in the post!!
@@AmyLovatt1 😍😍😍
as a former grammar nerd, "none of my closest friends even has hands" is technically the proper way to say it. It's the only Mean Girls lyric I will ever defend.
Hey Amy, could you maybe do a song association video where you sing part of a song with a specific word like in the ELLE Videos. There are a lot of Videos on youtube that provide the words for the game
Unpopular Opinion: Barret Wilbert Weed (sorry if I misspelled her name) is kinda overrated, at least when it comes to Heathers. She's really great! But I just feel like some of the other actors in it don't get enough attention. Nothing against her at all, just wish I could hear about some different people.
BRO THIS CAME OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY AND SHE READ MY OPINION AND SHE AGREED WITH IT!!!!
happy birthdaaaaaay!
Washington On Your Side is harder to rap than Guns and Ships. The part where Jefferson says “If Washington isn’t gonna listen to disciplined dissidents...” is really hard in my opinion. I cannot rap it but I can rap Guns and Ships (after I listened to the soundtrack way too many times).
THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY LES MIS IS THE BEST ONE GOD IT'S SO GOOD
Movie musicals are an iffy thing, but like I feel like the quality of movie musicals (we dont talk about cats) is improving so much, especially since there was a period after the classics where they just havent been good or have been painfully cringy. Like across the board I feel like they're improving a lot and that the cinematography for these movies are so gripping and do the choreography justice
imo hamilton is overplayed (hearing it so much you get sick of it, happens regardless of quality) not overrated (undeserving of the praise it gets). also i don't think glinda is wicked even at the beginning. she's shallow and a bit of a mean girl, sure, but wicked is a far jump. she's a flawed teenager (they're starting college at the beginning of the show) who is turned into a prominent public figure overnight but develops and becomes a more understanding person and a force *for good* by the finale
My unpopular opinion?
Hair is one of the greatest shows of all time and needs to be revived again! Especially if they could do it in theater of the round like Once on This Island.
Also, the musical Once needs more love too. The music is absolutely beautiful.
"None of my closest friends even has hands" is actually grammatically correct. None = not one. "Not one of my closest friends even has hands."
My entire life savings for a ticket to see Lin Manuel Miranda in Hamilton would still be cheaper than a regular ticket price for Hamilton
I agree with some of the Wicked comments, as the years have gone on I just realize that while I do enjoy a few songs and the staging and themes are great, but overall, I just...meh. Its pretty much the new Rent, which I have grown to hate (expect Tango Maureen and Take Me or Leave Me because those songs are ).
jeremy jordan is literally the only valid person how dare they (also hes better than aaron tveit dont come for me)
I agree with the first part, but I love Aaron and JJ so much for different reasons, I don’t even want to consider who’s better 💙
Don’t forget Jonathan Groff
YES YES YES YES YES
@@Abigailbooks okay you've made an excellent point when you say you like them equally. Number 1: Why for so many people does there have to be a best one (i mean fair enough if you actually like one more than another then thats cool) but feel like people feel like they need to choose one person above all the others and its a competition.
Number two: why sometimes when people pick a favorite, does it have to results in then putting the other person/people down?
Just to note, I'm not talking about everyone here. These are just things that I've noticed here and there within the realm of the musicals fandom :)
you're not wrong.......my official stance is jeremy jordan's a better performer but i'd rather be friends with aaron tveit. as if that would ever happen
Hahah OMG the cocktail anecdote.. I went to see Beetlejuice and I was like omg its my holidays, always wanted to go to NYC my whole life, I'm getting old, I'll treat myself to a cocktail because it's my first Broadway show even though I NEVER pay theatre drink n snacks,,, erm the barman saw my face when he said the price n said psst I will let you have a beer in the same special themed cup for like way less..lol
Aww! Lovely barman!
Wicked was probably the first show that properly got me into musical theatre
The thing I absolutely love about Lin is that he made me realise that you don't need a classically Broadway voice to be a performer
Dogfight is criminally underrated
agreed,
HAMILTON IS INCREDIBLE!! Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but yes! It is so well done! I've just uploaded a reacting to your musical theatre opinions over on my channel today and it was super fun to do! People get savage! Haha mentioning Lin too :/ but we love him!! Xx
the les mis film is the last circle of hell
I love the movie 😔
And sadly I think I might be headed that way...........
i LOVE come from away! I went to see it last year based on a recommendation from this channel
oh yay!!! im so glad you liked it as well!!!
