BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHQHAHHQHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ok I’m probably annoying
Rakshitha Rajamani i’m a professional west end performer and i guarantee you there is a LOT behind the stage that the audience don’t know like relationships mishaps etc
starstruck14 she was apparently very rude to her co stars and started back stage drama. Idk. I just saw a source saying that. She might be super nice. Ya never know.
Grace O'Riordan it was just a source I believe she got fired because she missed about 50 shows and they said she quit because they felt bad for her. The rumors of her vaping and being rude backstage is probably just a rumor I don’t think you should believe it so easily cause there might be a different story.
@@ceruleancraftshopMaybe they use it in the show, I don't know if its the case but many musicals use it. It's not as if the actors can't sing but it helps make it sound better. In the recorded album yeah they use autotune everywhere, that's not a bad thing
I think that nobody knows what real singing sounds like anymore. I feel the mostly imperceptible vocal flaws, and Caruso has a ton of them, are what make live singing beautiful.
1:55 ok, I’m sorry. These vocals. Just. Just where Alex goes up the octave, Amazing. I love this part so much. I wish they had a shortened version that’s like this that was just a song bc this part of the song isn’t in the musical which sucks cuz it’s awesome. 😊
I love his "natural" voice so so much more, in The Whole Being Dead Thing Part 1, around 2 minutes he sings without collapsing his throat and oh mama it's so good
He actually revealed in an interview that he's able to collapse parts of his throat or something similar on command to be able to do the voice with ease.
D Carney That’s not what stage presence means though. You can be playing a sad suicidal character and still dominate the stage. Alex absolutely pulls all the focus to him.
I love the power dynamic shift in this, it's so well acted. Alex spends 90% of the song with his knees bend making himself lower than her, and she goes on her toes to make herself taller. She starts the long feeling powerless and ends it feeling powerful and in control of him. It's so interesting to watch play out.
its so sad that this role fried her voice (she apparently stated it I have yet to find the interview plus there is a work shop video floating around where its way healthier)
yeah her voice sounds way different and healthier on the workshop but she grew up a lot between the two (three years I think) and also she made stylistic choices for her character that weren’t there for the workshop
I was there and I went up to Alex after his sound check an I was the only one there to talk to him and he was so nice and funny and he tricked me into taking his empty water bottle and yes I still have it duh
Alex's face of disbelief at 1:17 and his little excited shuffle at 1:23 I can't even handle it. The Man doesn't need costumes or sets, he brings the character to life all on his own
Alex's voice is so bloody amazing. I love listening to this song from the playlist while walking home from school, and even without the recording stuff his voice sounds almost *I D E N T I C A L* to the roecorded song. Amazing man!
Okay is it just me or isnt alex a perfect betelguese? Like he is funny and can sing in character unlike the other dude that also plays betelguese in the musical. And Sofia i feel the same. Like Presley is a good singer but sofia adds more to the character and she acts weird like wynoda ryders performance in the movie
With as often as people tease him by saying his name twice when he says he needs them to say it three times you would think that he would start claiming he needs them to say his name four times.
@@lifelongstudents233 I hope you know he was just quoting a line from the "The whole being dead thing" song. 😅 Alex Brightman, far as I know, does not indeed do any coke whatsoever! 😂
OK you wanna hear a funny story? not a lot of people know this because everyone is trying to censor this, but a guy named Emilio, who is like the Broadway photographer dated Sophia when she was 17 and he was 28, and for some “suspicious” reason right around the time they broke up all of the sudden all of these rumors starting to come up about her and she left Broadway. I don’t know what about u but I have a tendency to be on the young female side rather than the older more powerful male. Apparently it’s not the first time he has dated underaged girls and the fact that Broadway is covering this up and took his side over hers is disgusting.
I honestly wish I could see Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder sing this song together on stage I think that’d be amazing seeing the original Beetlejuice and Lydia.... there my favorite 😂🤘🏻💚
Without the costumes tjis just looks like a weird cool uncle trying to cheer up his angsty neice thats ignoring him
lol
omg why does it look like that
Imagine someone walking by the stage not knowing anything about beetlejuice, this would be so creepy 😂😂😂
Ben Silverman and if you’re deaf
JustAnOrdinaryMe 🤣🤣
it cracks me up how Sophia walks with such sass while Alex stands like a T-rex
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHQHAHHQHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ok I’m probably annoying
@@xo1zzy nah, it's good that you are enjoying something, go ahead
when i tell you i WHEEZED
@Jane R hey it's ok, most people have an awful stand, but do try to correct your posture or it'll affect your health.
OH MY GOD YES-
It’s weird seeing Lydia as a blonde.
Maya B I know right
In the first previews in dc , she was a blonde! :)
sophia*
myrt x shes sophia anne caruso thats her real hair
@@daynaandluke2 well it was a wig there in the previeuws too ! :)
imagine being able to sing that good wtf
I love how you could be talking abt Alex or Sophia
Can't relate
This isnt even one of their best performances and its still amazing
I'm crying stop
@@yoongi_chu1353 or both
He should have just told her to say it four times.
You're a smart man
if i rememberer correctly, part of the curse is that he can’t lie
stan loona ooh sad
he also could have just said "huh? can't hear you!" so she'll say his name over and over 😂😂
xXDaphneGrimmXx but going back to can’t lie sooo
when sophia booped his nose... so PRECIOUS
1:29
They apparently hated each other

Been obsessed with this song
Danny Senpai Same here!!! 👻
LMFAO SMAEEEE
Omg me too! ❤️
ikrr
rainbow povs right! ❤️
Alex is trying his best. He’s a nice cute little angel
Gabrielle Nielsen What?
@gabrielle
Actually it's 69 or 666,no 66 :/
Beetlejuice is literally just remus lmao
Rot in Heaven
Yes he is!
@Gabrielle Nielsen same
The way she sang the word "lecture" with no auto tune is just crazy her voice is awesome and no beetlejuice is better than him.
It doesn’t normally have auto tune?
@@ceruleancraftshopMaybe they use it in the show, I don't know if its the case but many musicals use it. It's not as if the actors can't sing but it helps make it sound better. In the recorded album yeah they use autotune everywhere, that's not a bad thing
The way she says ‘offer’ is amazing!
it's always the "flattering OOoOFFeeRRRugh" for me
I think that nobody knows what real singing sounds like anymore. I feel the mostly imperceptible vocal flaws, and Caruso has a ton of them, are what make live singing beautiful.
I just assumed Alex wore the striped suit all the time. The fact that he's not and that Sophia does have black hair is really weirding me out 😂😂
Lmao u thought he wore a flashy suit all the time huh 😂😂😂😂
Did you not see School of Rock? I just figured he dressed like that haha
Naaim Siddiqi
Tru
That's the magic of Theatre BABY!!
D-did they just skip half the song?
They do that sometimes. Like when someone sings Defying Gravity on a talk show they typical swap out the talking bit for a chunk of the Wizard and I
@@arachnoirs yeah its basically a version where they don't need David and Kerry and its not really progressing a plot, more of a standalone song
I noticed that too
@@arachnoirs ohhh
No thus is the original song they later changed it to something you are probably more familiar with
Alternative song:
I don't know your name
But i can't say it
How 'bout a game of charades
Just read my shirt
can't believe I'm actually laughing at this hahaahah
And roollll credits
@@solmarcet6157 same
KAKAKAKKA
Sophia's note in "offer" does things. Really
AN OMORI FAN OMG
yesss and 'mind'

Alex didn't go up an octave, he only went up an interval (a third.) Sorry just wanted to say that haha. I love this part tooo!
@@thelostlunchbox4877 oh sorry. I don’t really know that much about singing, just band and stuff like that.
I love his "natural" voice so so much more, in The Whole Being Dead Thing Part 1, around 2 minutes he sings without collapsing his throat and oh mama it's so good
It must be hard on Alex´s chords to be singing like that so many times.
Edit: I saw the interview, you can stop mentioning it ñ.ñ
xoxo
He actually revealed in an interview that he's able to collapse parts of his throat or something similar on command to be able to do the voice with ease.
He has some weird false vocal chords that he can trigger or something. But I can’t imagine doing that bullshit like 8 times a week
@@stampy4lyfe nice pun
Nope, if he has the right technique he should be fine
He’s actually said in an interview it’s less straining on his voice to do the voice and that talking strains his voice more than the Beetlejuice voice
0:04 my mom when I haven't come outta my room for days
JAKAHAKAJAKSJ PLEASE
omg this made me giggle
Dude their body language... it feels like they live in the scene...
It does doesn't it.
IKR it’s like they’re in their costumes on stage with the scenery behind them like it is in the show. Magical
I love her voice but he blows her away when it comes to stage presence.
D Carney That’s not what stage presence means though. You can be playing a sad suicidal character and still dominate the stage. Alex absolutely pulls all the focus to him.
I have to disagree, I watched it several times but I can never keep my eyes on him because I'm so drawn to her.
I dunno, I have a hard time keeping my eyes off her
I dunno 'bout stage presence, I think they're both playing their roles perfectly, altho Sophia looks a bit tired
She’s depressed and tries to kill herself in the show so-
That little dance Sophia does at the beginning......LMAO

*boops nose*
its so sad that this role fried her voice (she apparently stated it I have yet to find the interview plus there is a work shop video floating around where its way healthier)
I don’t have the interview but I think this is the workshop you are talking about. th-cam.com/video/HYKg3ABS4Is/w-d-xo.html
yeah her voice sounds way different and healthier on the workshop but she grew up a lot between the two (three years I think) and also she made stylistic choices for her character that weren’t there for the workshop
I'm not surprised. She does tend to strain her voice a lot in these songs.
@@rock2946 that was the creative team striving for an "edgier/rocker" sound which sucks..
I was there and I went up to Alex after his sound check an I was the only one there to talk to him and he was so nice and funny and he tricked me into taking his empty water bottle and yes I still have it duh
I hope you made a shrine for it.
@@SpockLover27 i would.
😭😭 Living the dream
I WOULD DIE
Her legs are STRONG
Bro literally
*all of them are so talented, im just so in loooooove 🥰🥰*
Alex's face of disbelief at 1:17 and his little excited shuffle at 1:23
I can't even handle it. The Man doesn't need costumes or sets, he brings the character to life all on his own
He's such a professional
I swear my fav "Say My Name" has to be with Sophia and Alex they legit give everything into the character. I love it.
Fr Sophia nailed that role
For the people who say "but she has said his name more than 3 times!"
It has to said 3 times in a row.
"It must be spoken, unbroken"
Without the costume and makeup, he reminds me if a puppy begging for attention in the song
I KNOW
i'm simply a pansexual disaster watches two gods, punching the ground because i will never be able watch them live
Me too lol
Same
Omg same
fellow part gaes AYO
Is it just me or is the ending they do for this way cooler than the actual recorded version? I love how they bounce off of each other, it’s so cool.
I love it when she say ''be a doll and spare the lecture''
“I think I’d rather just jump off-“ “NNAAAAAGGGGHHH-“
I miss Sophia ):
What happened her
@@eloisemcclintock5001 She wad fired from the show. And she apparently really strained her voice singing for Lydia
@@kitsoto3965 she wasn’t fired, she left the show
@@tiafakhouri2982 Its VERY rumored she was fired because of a fight with Alex and constantly skipping rehearsals and shows
@@kitsoto3965 ouf, let’s hope that’s not true
Can we get a professional recording. PLEASE!
th-cam.com/video/nHKNP3sN_P4/w-d-xo.html
I think they meant a pro shot-
love that Alex preps himself with the Bj grin at 0:02 🤣
Oh my god, I didn’t notice that 😂😂
I love her lack of energy, you go girl, give us nothing!!
(I'M KIDDING OK? I LOVE SOPHIA)
Honestly tho, who doesn't? 😀
*Her acting is literally me everyday of my life*
Adam and lute before the extermination
Alex's voice is so bloody amazing. I love listening to this song from the playlist while walking home from school, and even without the recording stuff his voice sounds almost *I D E N T I C A L* to the roecorded song. Amazing man!
It cracks me up how Sophia stands there with so much sass and then Alex is over here standing like a literal t-Rex lmao
Omg sophie from sge was on broadway?
nobodys gonna talk about how sophias stomps are on beat at 1:38 ?
I met a cosplayer of beetle juice, I told him I loved say my name and we sang the entire song in the middle of magicon... it was magical
That’s amazing. Do you have a video of that
Oh dude that's epic
1:16 through 1:30... beautiful!
Completely unrelated but I love Sophia’s converse lol
My daughter can't recognize Alex but when she zoomed in on him she said " is that really what he looks like? "
Если бы, Битлждуз был как он показывает не первый и не второй раз, какой он умный, то просто сказал бы Лидии повторить его имя четыре раза....
The thumbnail looks like an intense rap battle that Sophia is definitely winning
Okay is it just me or isnt alex a perfect betelguese? Like he is funny and can sing in character unlike the other dude that also plays betelguese in the musical. And Sofia i feel the same. Like Presley is a good singer but sofia adds more to the character and she acts weird like wynoda ryders performance in the movie

STOP THATS SO SMART-
The guy playing beetle juice is so high energy it's amazing.
well he does, like, a ton of coke here
@@alfredcommentary oh.
@@lifelongstudents233 I hope you know he was just quoting a line from the "The whole being dead thing" song. 😅 Alex Brightman, far as I know, does not indeed do any coke whatsoever! 😂
i keep listening to the part where she sings “be a doll and spare the LEACTUREE” 1:17
facts thats good as
It's good af
Sophias little dance at the start was so cute 🥺
She will always be the best for Lydia 🖤
Sophia is gonna star in the Netflix adaptation of The School for Good & Evil!!! AHHH!!
Did you like it 😅
Hahaha! Aww! I love how they play around at the end and show eachother off to the crowd! 😂💖
them :: how many times have you watched this?
me :: *yes*
Sameeee
1:14 wasn't she just about to... you know what nevermind.
What tell me lol

What a talented man!
I also liked the actress who plays Lydia.
This performance lives in my head rent free 😌✨
i can’t believe shes in the new netflix movie
THEY’RE SO CUTE TOGETHER AT THE END
Crazy that we have at least 3 different recorded versions of this song. This is like an in-between of the preview and Broadway version
We love to see it
She can hit notes very well
Hi
Ok I'm not trying to be like the people who say "OMG 3 likes thank you sm" but really???? All I did was say hi.

Sophia Anne Caruso best Lydia 💗💗
Funny how similar Beetlejuice sounds to mr krabs from the spongebob musical
Oo I’ve never made that connection!
@@bwaySHO the actors kind of look similar too!
I love how even out of costume they're still soo in character oh my god they are such cool people
GOOD GRIEF SHE WALKS WITH CONFIDENCE. Pardon me while I swoon( it’s ok I’m underage)
She's 19. When you posted this she was 18. 🤨
Who else wants winnoa Ryder and Sophia Anne Caruso to play a mother daughter combo in something
are you only saying that becuase they were both lydia or is there some other connection im missing?
@@alexintheshadows4557 because they were both lydia

大千穐楽💀👻
Sophia’s voice is so satisfying! 😍🥰
Sophia is so AMAZING. I want to meet her some day.:)
I’m simping for alex and BEETLEJUICE,I’ll say his name 3 times whenever he wants💚💜🖤🤍
Omg they are so good lol Alex and Sophia will forever be my fav Beetlejuice and Lydia
Seeing her without lydia's emo outfit n hair is weird but cool
This version of the song is incredible. Specially the end
I love how enthusiastic Alex always is.
the way sophia says beverage scratches the back of my brain
"Please just let me jump, 'cause I can't stop him."
"How about instead, a better option?"
they do this shit like 8 times a week
👻
i miss sophia
Man looks like Q from the Impractical Jokers. I had to do a double take 😂
These two are adorable and funny together
bro she can hit those high notes so well
they’re both so talented
so very talented!
Her strut tho😂😵😯😊
I'm only just now realizing that Soph is short lol
how is she talented omg 🥺
i love it but i feel like she’s not trying or that she looks bored
Im So Dun With Your Dema!- she’s meant to look depressed. That’s her character.
That's called acting 😂😂 she is just playing the role
