How does Hamilton have nothing to do with British culture when the first act is literally about a British colony gaining independence from the UK and one of the characters is King George III
Also would've been fuming if people near me got up and left 40 minutes in disturbing everyone around them... Just wait for the interval
Dude was looking for a reason to be a bigoted jerk.
It’s like saying _South Pacific_ has nothing to do with French culture, for anyone who remembers that musical.
There is a difference between culture and history mate. There is no British culture in Hamilton, just history of the elite which doesn't account for life for the majority in Britain ay that time
@@MegaBea100there’s no “british culture” in most musicals on the west end but i’m sure the reviewer still enjoyed them
Reviewer: I don't why Brits are so excited about [Hamilton] when it's got nothing to do with our culture whatsoever
Hamilton: *is literally about british colonisation*
Lol imagine going to see like Lion King and coming out and being like "well the singing animals musical has nothing to do with British culture so I didn't like it" 😂
Reviewer: i dont like Lins works because they arent related to my culture (Hamilton and In the heights)
But I like Moana though
It stars a literal king of England King George
@@rftt6y7tr Stars might be a strong word for King George. But yeah you can not say anything about the founding of America has nothing to do with the British. Also so what it is a fun night out with some absolute bangers, whos culture it is be dammed
I can’t imagine paying to see to a West End musical and the people in the row in front of me are standing and dancing like we’re at a concert 😭
I'm all for non-theatre folks seeing shows - I love to see it, honestly. Please come and see why live musical theatre is so amazing!
But the thought of five people dancing during the show is equally funny and infuriating to me. Seriously, you don't even have to know anything about theatre etiquette to know that this is annoying to everyone else who paid to see professional actors perform.
And imagine being an actor on stage and seeing those weirdos acting like it's a concert lmao
I think people get the wrong idea about Mamma Mia because it’s all ABBA songs. Some people think you can treat it like an ABBA tribute night and get drunk and dance with the girlies. You can’t.
Fr and it's not even just the singing and dancing that can bother people. You should always read up on some etiquette before going to things like theatre shows
When I went to see Le Mis there was this woman in front of me who during the climax of the second act was texting on her phone with FULL BRIGHTNESS. My dad almost yelled at her but she happened to put it away just in time
“A terrible celebration of the film”. Does…does this woman not know that Mamma Mia was on stage almost a decade before the film?
She’d probably read the first _Harry Potter_ book and be like, “What a terrible novelisation of the film! Everyone knows Petunia has black hair!”
I love how vexed some of these people are and then they're like 'my child enjoyed it tho'
I honestly can't even image going to a production of Wicked and thinking it was dull
I love the "not a celebration of the film" when the stage musical came first!
Real story: Around the years 1998 and 1999, the backstage area of the Imperial Theater in NYC where Les Mis was playing at the time had a serious rodent problem. Cast members would find rat droppings in their boots and pockets. I know the actors are playing starving French people onstage, but you'd hope they could leave sewer rats once they left the literal sewer scenes and went back to their dressing rooms. But I guess not. lol
About the girls who were too wild for Mamma Mia, I get the whole theater etiquette thing, but to at least back when ads were running here, they definitely said it was a show to get up and dance, like showing multiple clips of theater audiences dancing (even though I presume those audience clips were fully staged).
I would love to hear your thoughts on Book of Mormon. Although it is one of my personal favourite musicals I have always felt slightly uncomfortable with its portrayal of the African village and the struggles they go through. It is meant to be comedic but I definitely feel like it goes too far at times. I feel like a video on it would be really interesting. Great video as always 🥰
I feel exactly the same! I saw it in 2019 on the Manchester tour, but it’s been my favourite since I first listened to it 2016/17 (tied with legally blonde)
I think with BLM they changed some off the lines so that it now makes fun of the Mormons more than the African people, but I can’t confirm or deny since I haven’t seen it since. If they did it would be really cool, it’s definitely the kind of show you feel bad to laugh at at some points, but what else did you expect from the writers of South Park lol
You've got to look at the writers of book of Mormon, like of course it's gonna be offensive and vaguely racist cause Matt stone and trey Parker haven't grown past their edgy 14 year old phase still and sometimes it works (for example another musical they wrote called cannibal the musical) and sometimes it doesn't
I almost feel like the story is told through the eyes of missionaries, so they see people from Africa as being uncivilized and needing help from the western world.
I just don’t like rap lol
@@TheIndigoSystem i don’t recall Book of Mormon really having rap. Are you thinking of Hamilton? If you want Hamilton without rap, pick up the movie 1776, based on the stage musical of the same name.
Same thing with the mouse happened to me at the Cambridge years ago. I was so tense for the rest of the show haha. All the theatres are riddled with mice. They’re old buildings full of holes. Some mice are just braver than others.
Imagine going to a show called Les *Miserables* and complaining that it’s miserable 😭😭
This was so entertaining! I can picture “an evening with Amy” where you just read bad reviews from the stage! I also agree with BOM and would love to see a video of your thoughts.
"Help me mama" killed me
Some people just don't care for musicals. We went for Phantom and my mum fell asleep after the first ten minutes. We were camping, she was tired, I get it. I am still mad because I could have gone to another show with the ticket money, but I get it. I will never go to any show with her again, though.
I never fell asleep during a show, but I have been to some operas I didn't enjoy. I wouldn't write a review for them, though. If I had to, a 3 star 'Not my cuppa' one?
I had the same anger when my dad fell asleep at Hamilton- like I'd rather have taken my friend who would've died to be there
Ugh this was so funny!!! I died at “mama help me?” Also the pillow thing from the DEH review was hilarious to me.
Not finished with the video yet, but have to comment about the Come From Away review!! Ugh! Baffles me that people think everything has to be big and flashy. This show is SO good, and how down to earth and real it is is so much of the appeal. Chills, every time I listen to the soundtrack or see the show. And to the accent thing….I’m guessing this was West End, and they have the New Foundland accents?? I guess I can understand that as an American who sometimes struggles to keep up with shows with English accents. There have been shows that I totally loved that I didn’t fully comprehend some of what was said, but surely you could still get the idea of what’s happening?? I dunno. I guess I just feel strongly about the show. People are entitled to their opinions, I just don’t agree. Haha
I completely agree with everything not needing to be flashy!
I was recently in a school production of A Monster Calls, and our set and costumes was EXTREMELY minimalist. Yet every night the audience was drawn to tears and shared how impactful it was. Sometimes less is more, even in theatre
i clicked on the video and IMMEDIATELY burst out laughing I'm sorry WHAT 💀
I’ve also had a mouse run across my feet at the Apollo theatre when I was watching everybody’s talking about jamie. I was petrified the rest of the show
4:06 ironically a mouse was running around the auditorium when I went to see The Mousetrap
7:35 Pretty sure that reviewer meant "I enjoyed it but I'm ashamed I did."
So my husband is African and he loved book of Mormon. He thought the whole white people leave home and learn what 3rd world problems are like to be the funniest part. Maybe if you do a video, get the perspective of somebody actually from Africa to speak about it as well
Another brilliant video, Amy, so funny! 🤣 and, in relation to your question about School of Rock (I saw the show in October last year, it was amazing!) there are one or two little bits of foul language, like in 'Stick it to the Man', but it's not inappropriate for younger children to see 😊
I would go see any musical any time and would probably like everything I see. I just enjoy the experience so much.
this had me ROLLING omg please do more!!!
Oh my god, please do another one, this had me in stitches!!!!
This was so much fun to watch! I'd love to see a part 2
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS 😁😁 LOVE YOU
please do a part 2!!
Please do more! This brightened my day so much. I needed the laugh.
Amy, I love your videos! It's a really nice escape from everything to just sit down and watch your content!
Fab video, you look amazing, loving the hair!
Pleeeeeaaaassseee do another one!
Love your hair in this video!
Ooooh Amy that made me laugh so much, thank u x
I loved this vid Amy! 😂❤
If you do a video on book of mormon it would great if you could collab with someone who has been a Ugandan in the show and get their point of view on it, I'd understand if they wanted to do it anonymously. I remember one ex West end cast member spoke about it and did a TH-cam video on her views of the whole show but it looks like it's been deleted. I know after watching that video and hearing her side of it really changed my view of the show.
This is very interesting! I hope she does this!
Really enjoy this video!
I gotta agree with that person on the uncomfortable seats at Hamilton, I was in a lot of pain by the end of it, haha! I was also freezing xD
Yes please do a part 2?
that was real funny !!
you could do it with reviews about movie musicals too ?
You keep saying interval and I’m like oh that’s what British call intermission
This was to good, laugh so much. More please
This was awesome
School of rock has a fair amount of cursing but the movie is rated pg-13 and if that person knew anything abt the source material she should’ve known what to expect going in. Don’t be like the uptight parents from those schools lol
Yeah
It’s always people who know absolutely nothing about Shakespeare that pretend they know exactly what Shakespeare would like and not like
I mean, I sorta agree with the Dear Even Hanson one? My mother and I nearly walked out during intermission because we both just found the story so disgusting. It’s really a shame that such lovely music and costuming is tied to such a horrifying story.
Great video😊 it kind of reminds me of the LetterBox section of the Musicals with Cheese Podcast
I got annoyed about the Hamilton one because it was so difficult to get tickets back then, and they said they didn’t like Lin Manuel-Miranda’s work. I don’t understand why they went through the effort if they didn’t think they’d like it
Amy I’m studying abroad in London in the fall!!!
I will say, I saw Wicked last week for the first time in the West End, but my 15th time in total. It was the worst delivered performance of Wicked I’ve seen ever. It was all the main cast, no understudies. Glinda’s comedic moments fell so flat and barely many laughs because of the acting choices that were made. I love the cast in everything else I’ve seen them in, but at times lyrics were raced through to the point of being unrecognisable, in favour of a riff or sustaining a note at the end of the line.
I love Wicked, I have a For Good tattoo, so yes I’m very picky with it. However I’ve never been so disappointed by a show than I was last week. Such talented performers but just really unfortunate choices made by the cast or the director. It was however the best staging of the show I’ve seen ever.
Yesss please talk about Book of Mormon, I saw it in February and still can't work out how I feel about itttt. I feel like the show is so very much on the line but then the audience reaction and how it's perceived tips it over the line
I was sat in the dress circle slip seats for Les Mis one time in the seat closet to the stage and in the wires for the lights next to me was sat a little mouse. He chilled there for a couple of songs then disappeared back into the wall
🥰
I’ve seen a mouse in the same spot haha
Definitely agree with the Book of Mormon review(s); I went into it expecting religious satire and just felt like the whole thing was racist past the point of a joke even. It has always made me deeply uncomfortable and knowing several theatre fan friends who loved it its good to know I'm not alone/laughed at/accused of being overly PC for being offended.
Granted, if I had known it was written by Seth McFarlane in advance I probably would have avoided it, as his style of dark comedy i find often is offensive for the point of being offensive rather than a good satire, and feel it goes too far very often.
Would love to hear more of your thoughts on Book of Mormon.
BOM wasn't written by Seth McFarlane
@@millypep I think the original commenter got "Family Guy" and "South Park" confused?
I really want "liberal lefty lovee" on a shirt, that's absolutely golden!
Hahaha me too!!!
I just wanna know how that one guy hates in the heights like the music and story are both so good 😭
Yes please do a video on Book of Mormon! I would be really interested to hear your thoughts on it
As someone who nearly fell asleep in Wicked,I agree with that person. I don't know why, I just could not get into it and several parts even annoyed me, which doesnt ever happen in musicals.
I would love to see a video discussing racism and the Book of Mormon!
Ok but i had the same thing happen at the Adelphi, the mouse ran over the people next to me's feet, and they started to freak out, during She Used to Be Mine!!
I don't get why Book of Mormon is still a thing. it was racist since the beginning. I saw some news that it got a rewrite in Broadway, I'm curious if it made it better.
I love how 90% of these “critics” can’t even spell simple words correctly 😂
I love the Book of Mormon!!!!!! People have to understand what they are going for… people are getting to sensitive about things. Times have changed, but with it we are losing so much and at that time it never hurt those who could distance themselves and take it with a pinch of salt. I guess that’s why Avenue Q would also be a red flag nowadays :(
Hahaha loved this
Tbf the Dear Evan Hansen one wasn’t wrong. Also I know a lot of people agreed with the Book of Mormon review. I can totally get why people would find it offensive (who am I to tell someone else what they should or should not be offended by?) but I would definitely see it again if given the chance.
I agree with Dear Evan Hansen though 😂 I was nodding off
Oh this was hilarious lmao
i haven't seen Book of Mormon, but i would love to see your video about it
Help me Mama! hahahahahahahaha
I will say something about Book of Mormon that might explain the racism stuff and the rude stuff. It is written and created by South Park and that show is crude and racist sometimes so that might be why it is writtern that way
This was awesome , I read trip advisor all the time for tourist destinations I’ve worked at , people can be very dramatic
THIS WAS SO FUNNY
Unpopular opinion: I also wasn’t that impressed with Wicked. I thought the story line wasn’t great and some of the songs could easily be cut down or out completely. I felt like in the last 10 minutes they suddenly thought “oh yeah, we need to link this to Wizard of Oz, best turn some characters into characters from there”. Great singing, acting, dancing etc but the story fell flat for me.
Agreed and I hate that the moive is splitting it into 2
Wicked felt very pantomine-y to me, I didn't really enjoy it
i agree i was so disappointed, i think the storyline just isn’t interesting enough? it’s making me dread the film cos there wasn’t enough story for the 2h30 musical and now they’re dragging it over 2 films 🙃
Agree. Some great songs in there, but I found the storyline really lacking.
@@lucyycul22 I feel like since they'll take the books as basis we might have more story in them so they can have their new songs for nominations. I also feel like the only way you can improve that rapid shift is why drawing it out a bit. Probably there needs to be a lot more story between Fiero becoming the scarecrow and the end.
Please do a second part and get bad reviews for heathers
These people should go to a rocky horror live show. They would love it
Everybody should go to a Rocky Horror live show!
@@patriciaedwards1953 agreed
Amy! There’s a Reunion of spring awakening it’s on HBO GO! I thought of you immediately when I saw it 😂
Do they sing the songs?
@@supremefandom6970 yes!
@@RAch711baby I'll go watch that thanks
@@supremefandom6970 of corse! Glad I could help :)
hahaha this was fun
I find Book of Mormon such a strange thing to critique. While I watched it I went on a rollercoaster of sometimes thinking the jokes (while dark) were extremely clever and funny but then there were also just as many moment with lines that felt like they were in poor taste and didn't fit with the message and intent of the narrative.
I saw it for the first time just a few months ago and during the interval all I noticed was how white the audience was, that made me more uncomfortable as I don't like being in/supporting spaces like this with little to no racial diversity.
Ultimately, I feel this conversation needs to be had with black people or any POC as their responses and feelings towards the production are more pressing and valid. I don't know if my discomfort is genuine or somehow the result of white guilt derived from my privilege.
Overall I think the premise is good and I'm never going to have a problem with taking the piss out of religious groups, especially those that are widely known for their hurtful and oppressive teachings, but the delivery and content is in a grey area for me and I'd love to be educated more on it.
if you feel like complaining when you watch a thing and it’s set somewhere other than where you live, dear GOD do you need to get out more lmao
I’m from the United States and live in Long Island, New York, and my parents went to see Mamma Mia and claimed the actors lipsynched throughout, and they also said the sets were simple, so I could see what the bad reviews of that meant.
Please do a video about Book of Mormon, I have so many thoughts and I would love to hear yours
I saw Book of Mormon a few years ago and I don't think I'd see it again. Satire is so difficult to get right, and the way the Ugandans were portrayed made me wonder about authorial intent. It felt dated event though it's not that old a show. I do love some of the songs and some lines are really funny. Would be interesting to hear a black cast member's opinion since the available roles for black actors still aren't great in number. Ultimately, I think we just need new shows and the outdated ones can be retired. Comedy rarely ages well.
Omg Ik you have a few pillows with musical cases on them and I saw the heathers one,heathers is my favorite musical and I was wondering were I can find it ?
Personal favourite trip advisor review would be about Aladdin, Jasmine apparently, and I quote "sounded like she was shoved in a vacuum chamber and had the switched flicked on" I was dying
Les Miserables’ orchestra was cut from 22 to 11 when it moved theatres in 2004. Musicians had their parts replaced through a Sinfonia machine (virtual orchestra), in a similar manner to Phantom of the Opera’s post pandemic re-opening. Neither sound as rich. Certainly not as rich as the producers behind the decision making.
I’ve been saying Book of Mormon is racist as hell for years, so glad people are finally starting to talk about it! There’s lots of funny bits (mostly the religious humor imo) but that does not remotely excuse portraying Africans as AIDs ridden savages. Especially when there was not a single black/African person on the writing staff, but plenty of ex-Mormons. The fact that it’s still so popular and getting a broadway revival (or so I’ve heard) is horrifying tbh. That rhetoric is deeply harmful and should not be tolerated no matter how funny the rest of the show is. I would love to hear your thoughts, please make a video!
I mean, honestly re: "jokes from the 70s" - Kinky Boots does have some pretty rampant transphobia in it.
Also, I loved the video :)
This reminds me of that woman who saw jagged little pill on tour and made a video saying it was just next to normal. I'm like... yall find one thing mildly against your taste and immediately turn off your brain huh
Ok I’m clueless and I need your help! Lol I have my **very first audition ever** in 2 weeks. I’m auditioning to be Jan in my local theatre’s production of Grease and the call sheet says they’ll be teaching us a few basic dance moves. So I was wondering if wearing plain white “Keds” type shoes would be appropriate, since I watched your audition outfit video and I’m “hinting” at Jan’s overall style. But I was afraid that sneakers would give a bad impression. Please help me! Lol love your videos 💜
Hey, Lauren! I recommend wearing shoes appropriate for dancing and moving in. I’m not sure Keds are the right type of shoes for that. But you do you! Haha. Break a leg!
@@joanna4655 See I'm so confused because that's the kind of shoes they wear throughout the show (like saddle shoes and converse and such). I'm so lost! Lol
@@laurenlongfellow9714 its all good! For an audition, it’s recommended that you wear movable clothes and shoes. They want to see how you can move. The costumes will be added later. Break a leg!
Lmao I went to see a musical with my family a while back and my dad still complains that the music was too loud
And yet theatre actors are constantly being reminded that we have to be loud enough for everyone’s deaf grandpa.
In their defense.... Mamma Mia is terrible.... 🙄 Also, yes. Book of Mormon is disturbingly racist!
I agree the seats at Hamilton are very uncomfortable. Personally Book of Mormon is my favourite Musical, that's my kind of humor though. What do people expect when the show was created by the same people who wrote South Park.
Sure the Wicked review wasn’t for Starlight Express instead?
❤️
I mean, they're not wrong about DEH, BOM or Pretty Woman.
I would enjoy a song written only with lyrics from 1 star musical reviews.
The sound would be called help me mama
"could not hear most of the words"
Well, you'd probably understand about a half of what they say.
Some of these are just really baffling to me. No doubt, when I saw Wicked I was a bit lost, being a tween and not really following the plot but there's a lot of singing and dancing? Sure it's no South Pacific (musicwise) but there's more plot than A Chorus Line
11:05 Two things.
One, Les Miserables isn't IN another language, and it's very clear that it isn't.
Two, MUSICALS IN OTHER LANGUAGES SLAP!
I haven’t watched this yet but I already know that 90% of the reviews are just people complaining about understudies
