I replied to a comment about listening to the songs in order with this, in case you're curious why I opt to listen to things out of order:
IMO listening to things like this in order would drastically negatively change the way I make the content. When I've done videos on long pieces of media before, it's been grueling haha. I enjoyed Hamilton for example, but being switched on & presenting on camera for 3 hours straight exhausted me so much that I didn't film for like two weeks lmao.
So with that in mind, if I was to do them in order I'd be getting through about 5 songs when there's 23 on the soundtrack. Means progress would be very slow & people would get frustrated at only hearing small sections in each video.
Besides, I've tried to keep a focus on the music aspect - looking at things in isolation or without context has always been my favourite way of doing these, like I mentioned at the end of the video it's just a fun engaging way to interact with the content. I don't really get to do that outside of when I make content.
I don't kid myself, I know reacting to things without context and playing the game of trying to work it out isn't the content that everyone necessarily wants to see. With that said though, I feel like doing it the other way would have a lot more people frustrated in a different way haha.
You should listen to songs from the rocky horror
Once you've reacted to most/all of the songs, I'm all for you listening to them in order
Here are some things to keep in mind though:
-"Mr No-Name-Kid" is JD, she's calling him that because he's a "noone" in their school
-All of the Heathers are students, and Heather Chandler dies literally seconds before me inside of me due to JD poisoning her (it's her ghost singing from here on, only Veronica can see/hear her)
-Kindergarten boyfriend is Martha Dunnstock's suicide note. she attempts to kill herself due to all of the bullying she gets because of her weight (being called martha dumptruck- see beautiful) and behaviour (what Ram says to her in big fun)
-The production takes place in 1989. Being gay was something to make fun of back then. JD fakes a suicide note from Kurt and Ram saying they killed themselves because the world wouldn't accept them being gay. This is what prompts singing my dead gay son at their funeral
Ey, it’s totally okay to watch things out of order if you want to.
@@ParsureArts i know. but at the end, he said he'd be all for watching them in order for a video. i was just expressing my support for that idea
Can you pleeeeeaaaassse listen to lifeboat also from heathers for context this song happens in between shine a light and shine a light reprised
A correction to the lyric video, the person who says “OMG THIS IS AWSOME!” And “IM BIGGER THEN JOHN LENNON!” Is heather chandler’s ghost, not the teacher.
that’s what i was going to comment
Oh dang I never knew that
Yea they wrote it wrong on the video
@@palomaroggeri8680 yeah just search up heathers slime tutorial
It wouldn't even make sense for the teacher too sing this...
As for the situation with the “gay forbidden love” of Kurt and Ram, the movie this was based on is from 1989. So it was a little bit less accepted back then….
Also taking place in a backwoods town in ohio lol
Yeah, they use the f slur multiple times in the 1989 movie :')
@@oliveoil709 at least it was seen as wrong, so there's that
that and the fact that they failed to kill themselves after the note and everything prepared would be pretty embarrassing and awkward
@@horrorhistory7342 * Kurt and Ram dead on the floor *
Cop 1: my God, suicide, why?
Cop 2: Does this answer you question? * pulls a mineral water bottle out of their bag *
Cop 1: Oh man, they were fxgs
That's a really "backwoods town in Ohio in 1989" behavior
“Is there a single good person in this musical?”
Me: *gestures wildly to martha*
Lol yes. And second would be Heather M
@@addybugstories4695 i don't think mcnamara was a good person, but she wasn't the worst heather..
@@addybugstories4695 yeah she's just as bad as the heathers but at least she's a little less worse than them
@@addybugstories4695 Let's say that she developed into a better person ^^
Heather M was def a LOT better in both the movie and musical.
First song's context:
Kurt and Ram (the dude's who got sh0t) tried to date r@p3 Veronica, and after she successfully got away without being harmed, they started a rumor that she had had a threesome with them. This song was basically revenge.
Second song's context:
Veronica and JD had portrayed all the deaths they caused as su1c1d3s, so, Ms. Fleming (singer) decided to hold an assembly to tell the students that they had people to go to if they were feeling su1c1d@l, and that they weren't alone.
Third song's context:
After Shine a Light, Ms. Fleming encouraged students to come up and share their hardships with the rest of their peers. No one wanted to, then Heather McNamara got up and told everyone she thought about k1ll1ng herself and basically spilled her heart out. Heather Duke then proceeded to make fun of her and kick her out of the popular kids' group. This song is Heather McNamara's brain envisioning Heather Duke while McNamara tries to 0v3rd0s3 in the bathroom. Veronica stops her, don't worry.
Fourth song's context:
You already know this is right after Veronica did a murder. But, I think they mislabeled some things at the end. Ms. Fleming wasn't the one yelling about the assembly being awesome and being bigger than John Lennon, it was Heather Chandler in ghost form.
Fifth song's context: This is Veronica's first time meeting JD. Kurt and Ram pissed him off, so he's kicking their asses, and Veronica's falling for him.
Additional context for the first song, "Our Love Is God": JD told Veronica that they were using "ich luge bullets" saying they were a tranquilizer and wouldn't actually hurt kurt and ram and it was just gonna be a prank, but obviously, it was a lie. I think this was explained in the song and Matt just missed it. Also it was 1989 so the whole "gay forbidden love" thing was less accepted.
Additional context for the fourth song, "The Me Inside of Me": Veronica and JD go to Heather Chandler's house to give her a hangover cure, JD makes a joke about giving her drain cleaner and pours drain cleaner into a separate cup, then when Veronica grabs the wrong cup and JD notices, he doesn't say anything.
Hey calm down this isn’t TikTok you don’t really need to sensor like that
@@XxEthernanoEmiko it’s still a sensitive word. i personally quite appreciate the censorship
so true yttd pfp
nowyou put it that way veronicasounds kinda messed up too
What's funny is that if you take a deeep look into the scene in the movie and in the musical when JD said "these are ich luge bullets" that's german. I speak and read German. Not fluently but I know a good amount of it. Ich luge means I'm lying in German. Soo my friends and I were watching it and I freaked the hell out. Because in the movie JD asks veronica if she speaks german. When she responds with "french" he continues. If she did say yes to the question he probably would've said it in French instead of German. Lmao I'm a heathers nerd.
As a german, his pronounciation is so off, that he could just as well have been speaking french. I can't even hear it now that I know that'swhat he's saying :'D
THATS INSANE OH MY GOD 😭
It's to the point where my friends who also love heathers refuse to watch it with me. Because I point it out.
“You take German?”
“French”
“Alright. These are ice luge bullets!”
@@addybugstories4695 "my grandad scored a shit tone of them back in ww2... they're like tranquilizers, only they break the surface of the skin. A little blood but no real damage." I've totally seen this movie a gazillion times.
Just for clarification, when Veronica starts singing “our love is god” with JD at the end, she’s basically trying to save herself. If you watch the musical ypu can see that JD basically threatens her during this scene, and pulls her tightly towards him, almost in a chokehold
And if you know the context, you'll notice her singing actually does sound terrified.
I could’ve sworn i heard/seen in lyrics before at the end she started saying our love is gone instead of our love is god
And later songs really add clarity to everything. To her struggles with her feelings and morality, to why she caved and echoed him in Our Love is God.
Including the one that was added in a later production, "I Say No."
The "They'll be the laughing stock" for being gay line has a few reasons. 1) It's set in 89 where the world was much less accepting than it is today, and 2) The musical actually touches on why this is a bad thing, and how they should be accepting, but also that it can take extremes for people to be accepting in "My dead gay son"
I always thought it was because they failed to kill themselves.
Not sure if these were the exact lyrics, but in the our love is god, JD refers to the bullets as "ichluege bullets", which means "im lying" in german!
whaat thats actually rlly cool
I always thought it was bullshit in German, idk why I thought that
@@EYESTRA1N as a german, I am so proud that you thought that. Keep slaying
That's why he asked Veronica if she knew German
In the end of “Our love is god” in the musical, JD is holding his arms around Veronica while Veronica’s singing and facial features becomes progressively frightened while singing those last lines.
Yeah, I'd argue that admitting your insecurities and fears in front of the whole school is not a good idea, in fact. Actually, it backfires in the play, leading to shine a light reprise in which Heather M. tries to kill herself. The teacher is actually a really bad one, in my opinion. She is very preformative, but doesn't actually care about her students. She made the school read a suicide note. She scolded Heather D. For having a eating disorder, not even helping her at all. Her actions lead to Heather M.'s previously mentioned suicide attempts. So, yeah-the teacher sucks, and shine a light is not supposed to be encouraging in reality despite trying to emulate the sound.
I can't remember if you've listened to lifeboat. It takes place in between shine a light and shine a light reprise and deals with Heather M.'s depression and suicidal thoughts. Heather M. is one of my favorites from this musical, so I definitely recommend listening to lifeboat.
Not to mention when she finds out Veronica didn't actually kill herself near the end she's disappointed cause she made a "lovely tribute". At least she managed to direct Veronica to where J.D was.
yeah in shine a lightjust beforeshes like PEOPLE ARE WATCHIGN THERE ARE CAMERAS HELLO CAMERAS blah blah blah to make theschool look like it actually cares that 3 of there students have supposedly offed themselves i depise mrs flemming with a PASSION
side note, veronica seems kinda messed up too based on the fact of the circumstances that she fell in love with him but also veronicas parents seem u hinged tooo so yk what do you expect
Fight for me is basically the first time we meet JD, and we don’t know anything about him. Before the song they very briefly interacted and veronica says “I didn’t catch your name” with jd replying “I didn’t throw it”. That’s why she says “mr no name kid”
thank you for feeding my heathers addiction
Bru 👌
yass same
thanks for being here as always 💙 you honestly mean so much to me y'all got no idea lmao
hey you should listen to the hfjone ost it sounds really good
E
I am not stopping until you react to uncle grandpa
You should really listen to Carrie The Musical songs. Also, more Phineas And Ferb and Mlp + Mlp Eg. But especially Carrie The Musical.
Also, I feel I need to say this so pls acknowledge this comment, in the last heathers vid when you listened to Dead Girl Walking reprise, you must the highest and most amazing note in the whole musical
How much you wanna bet you're confused because you're not listening it all in order ? 😭
That is basically the main thing, plus the short scenes between songs
most of it wasn't even that lmao just absolute confused horror at me inside of me
@@MathewMcKenna Yeah, that's fair.
But seriously tho, you should really try to listen to everything in order.
Or at least watch the movie, it's amazing too, although somewhat different than the musical, especially in JD's characterization. At least, you'd have the ... Biggest part of the plot. Plus, young Winona Ryder as Veronica. Always a treat to see her.
IMO listening to things like this in order would drastically negatively change the way I make the content. When I've done videos on long pieces of media before, it's been grueling haha. I enjoyed Hamilton for example, but being switched on & presenting on camera for 3 hours straight exhausted me so much that I didn't film for like two weeks lmao.
So with that in mind, if I was to do them in order I'd be getting through about 5 songs when there's 23 on the soundtrack. Means progress would be very slow & people would get frustrated at only hearing small sections in each video.

Not sure why I decided to send you an essay, but was just a thought provoking comment :)
@@MathewMcKenna Yeah, I can see that.
It's just, reactors doing that always makes me feel like they're too busy being confused about what's happening to actually listen to the lyrics or the story, you know ? Not just the music aspect, but BOTH because musicaks tell a story and considering how much I love Heathers, it's really frustrating to see you not being able to properly enjoy all it has to offer.
But again, I understand your stance. It's your channel, it's you doing things like you feel like, and I respect that. Plus, people still love watching you, and so do I really, it's just the nerves getting to me. 😅
I apologize if I seemed insensitive, or disrespectful, it really wasn't my intention.
If you ever want to listen to more musicals, especially more that are movie based, I highly recommend The Lightning Thief, Mean Girls, and Beetlejuice
Yes, Mean Girls PLEASE
Definitely The Lightning Thief! 😍
Lighting thief it's not movie based tho, it's based on the books
Context behind our love is God and maybe movie spoilers:
(Also trigger warning for suicide and death!)
JD told Veronica that they were putting ich lüge (I think that’s how you spell it) bullets in the guns and shoot them, saying they were a powerful tranquilizar from ww2, in reality Ich lüge is supposed to mean “I’m lying”, she just didn’t understand what it meant.
Previously, (in the movie at least) Heather Mc and Veronica were on a double date with them and one of them were trying to get with her, she said no, and the next day they spread a rumor that they had a “sword fight in her mouth”. That made her upset, so, JD made up a plan to ‘humiliate them’ but instead they killed them and made it look like they committed suicide.
Hope that helps a bit
Fun fact, this song came out of a line from the original 1989 movie with Christian Slater and Winona Ryder.
A lot of the dialogue is lifted from the movie.
The “they’ll be laughing stocks” line in the first song is kinda multilayered? And yes, it shows the times. People at the time weren’t accepting of gay people. The “they’ll be laughing stocks” is both because people will be laughing at ‘the gays that couldn’t take the reality of the world’ and, since J.D said that they wouldn’t be actually killed and would just be knocked out (though, he’s lying of course), that they failed to take their own lives (which would either be a show of weakness or stupidity)
FINALLY Someone who knows it was because they "failed" to kts 😭😭
Some context to fill in your confusion:
Regarding them saying Kurt&Ram are gay, this musical is set in the 80s, so yes that would probably ruin their lives, much more homophobic time
Like you said you noticed in your editing, Veronica was surprised Kurt&Ram died because JD told her they were fake bullets, she was assuming they were essentially tranquilizing them
Personally I always interpreted Veronica joining back in at the end of Our Love is God as her being scared - she's in too deep and now is too scared to leave
Fight for Me takes place very early in the musical, before JD's backstory song, he was a new student who got into a fight with Kurt&Ram in the cafeteria (in the movie he pulls out a gun and shoots blanks) and this is the first time Veronica sees him, so she doesn't know his name but it sets up her interest in him and ties it to her motivation of wanting protection
At the end of Our Love is God, when Veronica joins in the song again, she looks pretty nervous (probably not wanting to upset the obsessive dude with a loaded gun) After the song, JD tries to kiss her and she runs away. Obviously can't blame you for not realizing that, since it's a completely visual aspect. Good video :)
Fight for me is the first moment she sees JD. So yeah...it's one of the beginning songs...one of my faves tbh. It's great. But yes...PLEASE listen to it in order at some point. Things will make MUCH more sense.
Watching your reactions made me realize just how much the physical context helps portray the message of most of these songs way better than just the audio.
Hey! I love this reaction series, and I wanted to let you know, there's a song between shine a light and shine a light reprise! (Only one) It's called the Littlest Lifeboat and its my favorite song from heather's honestly, and it will make you cry.
Correction, the song's name is just 'lifeboat'
lmao littlest lifeboat
littlest pet shop 2.0
context for every song you've reacted to so far (included the names of the songs you haven't listened to, though tried to not provide context for those)
Note that Heather's takes place in the late 1980's (i believe 1989 specifically), hinch the homophobia
1) Beautiful: Veronica, our main character, intruduces us to the cast. Youy have Ram and Kurt, two school bullies, Martha, her childhood best friend, and the Heathers, the popular girls. Veronica wishes to sit with them for one day, in the hopes of making others think she's "popular enough" to net be bothered. However, the Heathers decide she can be useful to them, and she becomes part of the group.
2) Candy store: Heather Chandler (heather in red), has heard about a party Ram's throwing. She wants Veronica to forge an invetation note and give it to Martha. The Heathers are aware of the fact that Martha has a crush on Ram, and they want to play a prank on her.
3) Fight for me: Veronica accidentally walks in on Jeason Dean (the new kid, who no one knows at this point) getting into a fight with Kurt and Ram, and he manages to beat them. Veronica gets a crush on him thx to this event.
4) Freeze your brain: Veronica and Jason Dean meet at the local 7/11 when she's on her way to get some last minute stuff for the party. She finds out about JD's past, as his mother had died, and his father is quite unloving/abusive. It's also clear he handles with some kind of depression
5) Big Fun: This is the party song, Martha has fallen for the trap set up by the Heathers, not only was her heart broken by her crush that night, but she was also nearly publicly humiliated. However, Veronica took the blow, and in her drunken state, accidently vomited on Heather Chandler
6) Dead girl walking: Afraid of what the heathers will do now, she left the party. In her drunken state, she goes to "visit" JD, the two have a fun night, and are now an official thing.
7) The Me inside of me: After Veronica's fun night, JD convinces her to make it up to Chandler. Chandler, having a hangover, tells Veronica she might think about it if she is given an anti-hangover brew. JD however shitches it up with draincleaner, and Heather dies. This song is the follow up to that, Veronica writes a forged suicide note in order to hide the murder (under JD's command), and the two get away with it. Despite being dead, Heather rises even more in popularity due to what happened. Note that while Heather does sing, she just sings along the things Veronica wrote. Though veronica and heather do interact, it's more so Veronica's guilt coming through in a projection of Heather
8) Blue
9) Our love is god: For this one you really need to context of Blue, but basically, something happened involving Veronica, Kurt and Ram, and Veronica was extrremely sad bc of this. JD promises he will make things better, and convinces her to call Kurt and Ram for some yk, things yt won't be happy with. JD tells her he's gonna use "ich lüge" bullets (Ich Lüge is german for "i lie" in case anyone didn't know this) to be tranc them, as some kind of revenge. Veronica believes him, and the two end up killing Kurt and Ram, much to Veronica's disgust. As for why the two were singing in the end, in the musical, JD goes to stand behind her and pushes the gun into her back while holding her. Forcing Veronica to sing along, forcing her to "admit she loves him too"
10) Dead gay son
11) Seventeen: Due to JD's unstable nature, and his tendencies to commit murder whenever someone's awful to him or someone dear to him, he and Veronica have a tense moment. Though Veronica still has hope that the two could live a healthy, non crime filled, life with him. She tries to change his view, saying him that she still loves him, despite evrything, but that what he's doing must stop.
12) Shine a light: So, Heather Chandler, Kurt and Ram have all been murdered at this point, though their murders have each been disguised as suicides. One of the teachers (same one from Me inside of me, known as Miss Flaming) manages to convince the school to have a moment with all the students to reflect on the past events. She wishes no more suicides to happen, and encourages the kids to let their troubles out. After the song ends, Heather McNamara (heather in yellow) comes foreward, going into the song "Lifeboat"
13) Lifeboat
14) Shine a light (reprise): for this one you need Lifeboat's context, but simply put, McNamara admitted to being depressed and suicidal. And the other kids made fun of her, most notibly, Heather Duke (heather in green). This causes McNamara to try and kill herself for real, until Veronica stops her right after the song ends.
15) Kindergarten boyfriend
16) Yo girl
17) Meant to be yours: By this point, JD and Veronica officially are no more. However, in JD's obsession and crawy state of mind, he believes that society (as well as his school) is to blame for them breaking up. And thinks that if he can do something about that (aka, blowing up the school), she will see that they should stay together. Veronica fakes her own suicide at the end of the song in order to get him to leave her alone.
18)Dead girl walking (reprise): Veronica decides to put an end to all of this, and goes looking for JD, in order to stop him. She at first tries to convince him to stop through words, but when that doesn't work, it turns into a fight. However, he has a gun with him, Veronica manages to get a hold of the gun, and in their struggle, it goes off on accident, shooting JD in the side.
19) I am damaged
20) Seventeen (reprise)
Judging by the songs that are missing, the next video is going to be a roller-coaster.
Bro I swear you are a magician, j just rewatched ur heathers videos two days ago getting me back into heathers after 5 months and now you post this 😵💫 love you!!!
i was watching u watch it and was like dang gotta make sure i do another - love u toooo
i rewatched it last night 🫢
@@MathewMcKenna wow, love that for you
There's going to be a pro-shot of the musical released next month, would be cool if you reacted to it! (but also a reaction to the og off broadway would be cool too)
I played Ms. Fleming in a production of Heathers and doing Shine A Light and Me Inside of Me was so fun! In Shine A Light, each night i got to single someone out someone in the audience to be my Steve and everyone shined flashlights on him like a spotlight while i ranted about faking it 😂
(I know this is late) but you were in a production of it?? Like a professional one? Because I've honestly not heard of any community theaters or anything doing a production of it. Not really sure why, because I would assume since it's an off-broadway show and hasn't been running for a while now that it would be legal to do so, but I'm not sure
@@luna-mo3ol it was a community production back in 2018! This was before they cut blue and replaced it. It was so much fun!!
@@kaleighmagnant That's amazing! I'd love to be a part of a production if anyone's even doing one close to me which is doubtful 😭
1989 movie: depressing with a bit of humor.
Musical adaptation: 💃
For a bit of context:
1. At the end of Our Love is God, Veronica’s joining in with JD more out of fear than enjoyment.
2. A fun fact about the “I’m ending my affair” line: on stage, Ms. Fleming actually says that to a random male audience member. A fun bit of breaking the fourth wall humor! (I agree that she probably shouldn’t have said all of that in front of her students though)
3. It’s kind of implied that Heather McNamara is hallucinating Heather Duke in “Shine a Light Reprise”. Also the fact that Heather Duke’s songs in the original Broadway production are all reprises appears to be a subtle jokey nod to the fact that she’s stated to have “no discernible personality” (though the West End production gave her an AMAZING song called “Never Shut Up Again”, which I highly recommend you check out!)
4. The video maker goofed on Me Inside of Me and attributed lyrics that were originally sung by Heather’s ghost to Ms. Fleming.
If your interested in a musical with really good songs I’d definitely recommend hadestown. It’s a retelling of the story of Orpheus and Eurydice in a sort of modern folk music vibe. It’s amazing you’ll love it
You GOTTA listen to I say no, it was added later on in the west end production and it is a banger, Veronica finally stands up for herself like the girlboss she deserves to be
Please note, there's an error in the lyric video of "The Me Inside Of Me".
The lines "Holy crap, this is awesome!", "Jesus Christ!" and "I'm bigger than John Lennon!" aren't said by Ms. Fleming but by H. Chandler's ghost who, being H. Chandler, loves all the attention she's getting despite her being dead.
Perfect timing! I've been getting back to listening to Heathers again after a while and my god I've kinda forgotten how deranged the songs are. I really do love it
The end of Our Love is God finishes with Veronica realizing the severity of the situation and how she's been played. Idk about the Broadway version, but the West End version has JD embracing her essentially with a gun to her, sort of threatening. Their last note used to be in harmony, but the reprise goes up a half step to show Veronica is no longer on his level
I’m pretty sure at the end of “our love is god” Veronica is actually saying “our love is gone” because this is the point she finally realizes just how messed in the head JD actually is and that she can’t just talk him out of the crazy
I absolutely love your content. Please finish the Heathers series. There's a few more songs called 'blue', 'blue reprise', 'dead gay son', 'kindergarten boyfriend', 'lifeboat' and 'seventeen reprise'. Kindergarten Boyfriend is actually one of my favorite songs from the musical and I think you're gonna love her voice especially
Right??! I was so looking forward to seeing his reaction to MDGS!! Also the West End version has exclusive songs: “You’re welcome” instead of blue (imo much better lmao) and “Never Shut up Again” which is a Heather D solo!
@@erinfuller5542 yeah, I know, I also love 'I Say No' from the West End version
Oooo I love your content!! I didn't know you did Heather's
Have you seen the live versions of the songs before? Personally, I think the live versions bring in a lot more character into the music and it's super fun and enjoyable, even if you aren't actually watching them full in chronological order
I wonder if anyone told him Veronica can see ghosts.
I really do just want him to watch the musical, its a wonderful musical and itll help him out with the confusion lol
Hiii, a year later! (I know, I'm totally late 😂) you should really do more Heather reacts, because there's another heather musical with additional songs you absolutely must listen to!!🤩
-"My dead gay son"
-"I am damaged"
-"Yo girl"
-"Kindergarten boyfriend"
-"I say no"
-"Life boat"
-"Never shut up again"
-"You're welcome"
-"Seventeen (reprise)"
if you do react to the full musical, i’d love to see you react to the west end version!! there’s a few added songs that aren’t in the original, such as ‘i say no’, ‘you’re welcome’ and ‘never shut up again’! plus the actor who plays jd is absolutely phenomenal and adds so much depth to the character
Yay! I have been waiting anxiously for your next Heathers reaction videos and I have almost given up. Thankfully you have came the right time! :D
They're making a Heathers: The Musical movie (like what they did with Hamilton) when it's out I hope you react to it!
Wait... there’s already a movie though? It’s based on a movie? It already had a remake too? It’s getting another one?
@@calebgoodman3028 yeah there's a non musical movie...they are now making a movie of the musical version. The two versions are slightly different.
@@calebgoodman3028 it's basically just a recording of the stage production so you can watch it at home :)
@@SketchyDoodles omg, that's awsome, as someone who's never been able to go to broadway, and no Heathers prefermances were ever given anywhere near where i live, i've never been able to properly see it other then, yk, the non-legal pirated versions with shit quality. I'd do fucking anything for an official recording of this musical XD.
It was not good. Love the 89 movie and Off Broadway cast but the singing in the Roku channel was horrible. JD was super whiny in this version.
If you want another musical to react to I heavily suggest Ride the Cyclone it's so good. It's not super well known but the music absolutely slaps. I'd recommend the songs; What the World Needs, Noel's Lament, The Ballad of Jane Doe, Talia, and Space Age Bachelor Man. :))
YESSS
"Is there a single good person in this musical?"
Martha.
That last song happens in the beginning! She didn't know JD then and actually caught sight of him in the middle of a fight :)
I'm so hyped for the Heathers proshot which is meant to air on September 16th (a day before my birthday)!! I think it's coming out on a programe in the US and Canada, but since I don't live there I hope I can find it online. Anyways, it would be cool if you could react to that someday :)
Hi, I loved your reaction! You should really listen to "I say no" it's another song from Heathers that was added in the west end production aka wasn't in the original broadway album.
actually it wasn’t added I have the off broadway script it was in it but they replaced it last moment I THINK
The person who was Veronica in that version is Barret Wilber Weed (not sure if that's spelled right) and she is awesome. She was also in Mean Girls the Musical as Janice Ian!
*Barrett Wilbert Weed
Btw in the first song after they shot kurt and ram veronica was singing "our love is gone" not "our love is god".
It would be so cool for you to watch the whole musical to see what you were right and wrong about when listening to the songs. There's a version with Carrie Hope Fletcher and Jamie Muscato on youtube for sure but a pro shot is being released soon too (may be a while until you can see it though as it's being released in America first).
If you’re interested, the full musical is uploaded on TH-cam. The movie is also uploaded. I highly recommend you check them both out, they’re amazing. It would also add context to the songs, so you’ll actually understand what happened (after you’ve finished all the songs ofc, love seeing how confused you get lmao😭).
Whenever im sad i just watch all your videos over and over again 😟
i would love to see you to watch the musical in order! there's a lot of great choreography and blocking (especially in Fight For Me) that really complements the music
“Plant our garden here” they were in a cemetery. Their garden is of corpses
Veronica wasn’t saying our love is god at the end. She was saying our love is gone.
3:50 I was a sophomore in highschool when this movie came out '89 and I promise you the biggest insult you could throw at someone is to say they were gay. Everyone who was not straight was in the closet waiting for college. And I can say the punk/goth kids (us) had no love for the jocks/cheerleaders (them).
We loved this movie though.
since the filmed version is finally out it would be fun to see Mathew watch it
7:19 that ‘turn’ is called shine a light reprise
I have a suggestion! Can you please listen to a musical called 36 Questions? It's a podcast musical so there are no visuals. It's one of those underrated musicals. It's about a couple trying to save their marriage from the brink of divorce using the 36 questions which is supposedly designed to make strangers fall in love.
As someone who played Heather Duke, your reaction to shine a light reprise was fun 😃
You really should do Kindergarten Boyfriend for Martha, such a beautiful song and she’s the only unflawed/unproblematic character in the show.
Since you asked: yes, I for once would love to see you react to the full musical in order :3 (There are also some REALLY great animatics for the songs, if you don't want to watch a fan recording of the actual musical but still want something visual)
i’ve never clicked on a video so fast,, so excited to see your reaction !!
The same actress for Veronica did AMAZING in Mean Girls Musical. She wasn’t the main character but every song she sings in is incredible :)
I think you should react to Stupendium. I'm sure you will enjoy his songs. Some of his best songs are ''The Toybox, Room For Improvement, And So We Fall and Don't Let The Bellhops Bite. He Makes Mostly Live Action Songs About Games. Hope you enjoy :)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE we NEED a reaction video to the whole musical!!!
You gotta watch the full musical! As well as the full Six the Musical!
GIVE US THE WHOLE THING PLEASE I WOULD DIE FOR THAT VIDEO LIKE HEATHER DID
I love it. Love your energy. You should do the Lightning Thief Broadway musical. It'd be wonderful to see your reaction about what's going on there, especially if you didn't heard the PJO series 👀🤩
If you watch it, at the end when she joins in again JD is being incredibly threatening, all but pointing the gun at her until she joins in.
Also in every version Ive seen l, Heather C is the one who sings 'this is awesome ' and 'im bigger than John Lennon' not Mrs Fleming in The Me inside of Me
Context for Fight For Me: The song is about JD like Veronica said, but this was just after they first met, but he didn't say what his name was at the time. He only finally told her when they ran into each other at Seven-Eleven a bit later. Then she broke into his house that same night...uh, early morning.
YES HEATHERS!!! love you Matthew!
love you tooooo
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE (or since the last part came out or whatever 😕)
I will point out that when Veronica starts singing "Our Love Is God" again at the end after the murders, her tone is stressed and frightened because JD's singing is becoming threatening because he expects her to reciprocate, oblivious to the horror she is experiencing. Plus, he's still holding a gun he just shot people with while trying to get her to sing back to him.
Basically, if she doesn't sing back, it's a toss up on whether or not the unstable murder obsessed with her might kill her as well if she rejects his show of love for her.
Basic obsessive stalkerish toxic partner energy and danger.
I'm happy you finally covered The Me inside of Me that is ridicolously good.
There are three songs left that would use a reaction from this musical, cause they're the only one performed by these characters.
- "Kindergarden Boyfriend" by Martha, extremly sweet
- "I Love my dead gay son" by the Dads of Kurt and Ram, wacky as it can be, and with great instrumental
- "Blue" by Kurt and Ram... which... well... you'll see it
A pro shot of the West End version of this musical is coming out in September, maybe you could react to it :) (it also has a few additional songs)
Those are heather’s thoughts in shine a light reprise. She is picturing the cheer team saying that to her. Veronica figures out heather has been acting off and rips the bottle out of her hands before anything can happen.
I just saw Heathers today. It’s been my favorite for like 5 years. It was so good.
I WAS WAITING FOR IT
The west end proshot of heathers comes out on September 16th, you should film a video reaction to it!!
you should check out fox academy! theyre a pretty obscure band but theyre a real gem. very indie small town vibes :) i think youd like them!
some songs id reccomend are:
-property brothers
-several hundred apologies
-vampire banquet
-and also im really scared
i hope you have a lovely day because you certainly made mine by posting :)
Oh my god i am so happy that we got another part.
you need to finish this series!
I didn't even realize that it's been so long. I started watching this channel through the first Heathers reaction video. You should watch the musical though!
I'd love to see you react to it in order with animatics for context
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg I would love to see a video of him reacting to the whole Heathers musical
You should do a video of you reaction to the full musical!
I was waiting for this video
Also let me just say, the ending of Our Love Is God is (in my opinion) much better WATCHED than listened to. The way the actress looks and is desperately belting out the lyrics makes it almost sound like she’s being forced to say it-
You should we react to Beetlejuice: the musical! 😁
Hey yo!! Heathers is one of the musicals I absolutely adore and the songs you chose are the ones I was hoping to see you react to(great job:-D)
Would you consider reacting to "Falsettos"? It has a ton of cathy and silly songs as well as quite depressing ones. I think you'll enjoy it:-)
Btw for “The Me Inside of Me” when it said “This is awesome” and “I’m bigger than John Lennon“ it was Heather Chandler (the girl who died) not Ms. Fleming
Great reaction Heathers is so amazing so even if you don’t want to post a reaction because it would be a lot of work I highly recommend just checking it out in general!
I love heathers the movie and musical sm
Really like your reactions.
I love seeing this video pop up after I saw Heathers last night
I beg of you please please PLEASE watch the whole thing!!
I LOVE watching other people react to things I love! Thank you!!
Please finish this series!! there are so many more great songs :)
well i can't wait to see more reactions to heathers!
