      PLEASE REACT TO "SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON"! It's a story about a strong, beautiful horse with a spirit that can never be broken. I cry every time i watch it! It's a INCREDIBLE film, and the songs are so cool! But it's not a musical and the animals can't talk. 😭💔🔥

Space Age Batchelor Man, Mishas First Song that I’m blanking on the name of, Sugar Cloud, and Thalia are all WAY better live. The opening number is also better in the live recording because the Fall Fair Suit is by FAR the best opening number they’ve done. I really don’t like the other ones tbh.

      @AlexanderWandering 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

      @NamiiWavee Yeah, I always had an issue with the plot point that disability just disappears in the afterlife but I still prefer that towards no representation. Apparently, the actor who played Ricky in one run was actually disabled but when his disability caused him to miss some shows, as it does sometimes, they recast an abled actor in the role which is awful. But then instead of making changes to just have the character's disability follow him through to the afterlife, they just got rid of it and had his inability to speak come from trauma instead. I saw my old college's production of it and, idk, it just seemed like even in an ensemble show, Ricky was more of a background character now. They even took out the part where he chooses to concede which made me so sad. I do wonder if production teams can still use the original script if they choose to.

    18:01 I absolutely LOVE the lyric "Times eats all his Children in the end" Jane Doe says some old times things and this is one of them, with it being not only a dark reminder that time is futile but also a reference to Kronos, Titan of Time and Harvest, eating all of his children expect Zeus, so awesome
    Edit: There is a essay video talking about how the characters of RTC are based on the 5 stages of Grief and the Ballet of Jane Doe is all about grief, her denial that she's dead/her soul is lost believing it's must be somewhere to find, her anger with the line "Times eats all his Children in the end" to call out the audience for having a life that she was denied, bargaining Saint Peter of the pearly gates to let her into heaven despite her condition which leads to her asking god Why she was given existence to begin with, the depression that she faces when no one can tell who she was in life and lastly the bitter reality that she accept the facts that she will never found, that her name and memories will be lost forever and only ever remembered as Jane Doe forever, there is so much to talk about this song, like how it's a Lament and not a ballet and Noel's Lament is a Ballet and not a Lament, this musical is SOOO GOOD!!!!!

    Jane's mid-air spins and flips were accomplished with a harness setup! In the next song after her solo, she gets a little cape to cover up the harness so it wouldn't be visible to the audience. This is presumably also why her song has the dimmest lighting out of all of the songs - to further disguise how she's flying.
    As for other songs from Ride The Cyclone, I highly recommend "What The World Needs" and "Talia" because they're both incredible, and "Space-Age Bachelor Man" because I desperately need to see your reaction to Ricky's dreams.

Like the really high, long notes in "fall fair suite" are said to actually be Jane still falling to her death after everyone else had already hit the ground! Which is why she does them again in "Ballad of Jane Doe" :)

    My absolute favourite thing about the ballad of Jane Doe is when she does the trills. The first part (the oohs) are the climb of the rollercoaster, the second part (the ahhs) is the upcoming crash and the ahhs she sings in descending notes is her head being thrown away and falling somewhere away from the coaster. They show it with the hand movements. The entire song is so beautifully haunting, I will never get over it.

    Ride the cyclone is by far my favourite musical pretyy much to ever exist, i would love to see you react to the full musical ♡ Also fun fact; The Ballad of Jane Doe is a lament and Noel's Lament is a Ballad this is because a ballad is 'A song that tells a story' while a lament is 'a passionate expression of grief or sorrow.' This is because Jane Doe WANTS to be able to sing a ballad but can't because she doesnt have a story to tell and Noel wants to sing a lament but cant because instead of a sorrowful life, his life was incredibly boring. (how he sees it anyways) Karnak (the fortune telling machine states that "Show not what they were perceived to be but whay they dreamt they were." So while both songs are actually not the type of songs the title states they are, it doesnt matter because the title instead represents what the characters wanted out of their lives but never got

    Okay to the best of my ability to explain, the way she was spinning/flying around in the Ballad of Jane Doe is that shes attached to a crane-like thing connected with a harness. Before the change when she backs up into the curtain you can notice someone attaching the harness to the device and then she starts levitating, then near the end of the song she gets dragged backwards back towards the curtain where they take her off of it

IS THAT WHAT THAT FUCKING MYTH WAS ABOUT? I will never get over that revelation. Maybe I’m just late to the party, I dunno, but Kronos (the god of time) eating his children and then those children overcoming him and escaping, was that just,, the becoming of the gods?

    I am definitely writing too many comments here, but I think you would enjoy "Noel's Lament" in the stage version! The choreography is stunning!
    Also, there's a lot of different variants of this musical and its songs online. The cast recording i.e. replaces "Fall Fair Suite" with "Uranium Suite", and adds "Be Safe, Be Good" (a DEVASTATING song when you know everyone singing it is dead) as well as "A World Inside".
    In another live version, the big opening song is called "Waiting for the Drop", and I'm pretty sure there's even more openings and other variants of the songs. So much to discover!

  • @alilcoffeecake
    @alilcoffeecake 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The reason all the songs sound so different is because all of the kids were very different and all of them dreamed of different things, so the genres reflect that. Mischa was aggressive so rap, Noel was dramatic so an older sounding song, Ocean was ambitious so a more pop sounding song, Ricky was into sci-fi so an 80s type of song, and Jane didn't know who she was so it's pretty bare-bones and carnival like. 👍👍

    For a SLIGHT bit of context, all of the children have just entered the afterlife after dying in the rollercoaster crash, and have been given the opportunity for ONE of them to be reborn and have a 2nd chance at life. Each one sings a song to convince the others that they are the most worthy of living again. All of the songs are so EXTREMELY different to match each character's personality or persona.

    OH LOOK IT'S MY MUSICAL THEATER HYPERFIXATION. I found this musical through Jane's video, blind bought the album, and was INCREDIBLY CONFUSED until I found a plot summary and then got to watch the slime tutorial lmao. It's basically Inverse Cats.
    Noel is a bored gay theater kid in a small town making up dramas starring himself to vicariously experience the highs and lows of life that even before he died young he feared he'd never get. He especially likes French New Wave Cinema and is called "the most romantic boy in town", referencing the Romantic movement in art.
    Also it's "Uranium City, Saskatchewan" because in-universe it's a small town that mined and exported Uranium ore. So when you ask if Mischa means the element or the town... yes.
