I can’t believe these guys are seniors. They are a very special class. They put their stamp on senior entrance with a wonderful message to the freshman!
more MT schools should do these, its the only advertising they need. im sold after the first song, and by the end i feel like i got everything i need to know
I so agree!
Sobbing over the queer and trans POC representation. 💜
This class is going to change the world!
Right 😭😭😭😭
every year the senior class just KILLS IT even more and more. at this point my jaw is nonexistent with how much i DROPPED mine this year! hail to the victors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just here waiting for MT24!
Literally me checking this channel everyday haha

lol same I have no connection to Michigan or theater but I’ve been waiting for this for a month
These people are athletic monsters for this /30 minute long/ performance...with vocals. I love u ze'ev!!! You're such a superstar to watch!!
AAAAHHHH 💛💙 I'm super happy this came before I started filming for my auditions. Their senior entrance always make me feel like they're calling me to their home. I'm auditioning to UMich MT this year and I'll come reply update comments under this every now & then. Good luck to all fellow applicants hihihi
This is officially a manifest comment~ ✨✨✨
Good luck you got this!!
I plan on auditioning next year hopefully we’ll see each other on campus
@@ctrlmorgann hoping for the best of luck to us
good luck!!!!!
Every freaking year I watch the umich senior entrances and I sob. I just cry.
the collective “aww” when for good started was so theatre kid of all them
Brings back memories .... UM class of 1971.... I was a prop manager when I took a Greek Drama class. It was a blast.
One of my goals: get to watch one of these live. CONGRATS CLASS OF 2023!!
i’m 9 minutes in and have tears rolling down my face, i look foward to these every year. dream school!!!
Congrats everyone!!! Tears of emotion every time I watch it. Great tribute to teachers, freshman, and the school. John Taos, your voice was beautiful and touching. 💛💙
I did a guided and self tour of Michigan today! I’m a junior and University of Michigan is my dream school. On my self tour at the Walgreen I had a lovely conversation with a sophomore named Stephanie because I saw her talking with who I at the time recognized as “Happy Camper”. He, Austin, invited me to sit in during a preparation session for upcoming Senior Showcase (I believe) with Professor Jason DeBord and MT Chair, Michael (arms like a bolder) McElroy. It was a wonderful time seeing the two guid their students in honing their craft and giving notes. Afterwards I also got to talk to a lot of other seniors who were extremely kind and helpful. I also got like three hugs and felt like I was at Disney Land. I cannot wait to see where these people go in life and hope one day I can be where they are.
This is amazing, Rey! Wishing you luck for these next two years!
oh my heart melted watching Ryo in the bottom right corner so excitedly supporting and reacting to every part!! These entrances get me obsessed every year!!
I just LOVE these every year!!! Always so much fun watching not only the seniors but the audience, too! I was tearing up by the end! Congrats Class of '23!!! -- Kevin Brennan - Laurel, MD
It was so fantastic! Congratulations class of MT23! John, Hoke, Samantha, Timmy, Austin, Sevon, Sofia, Nick, Alyssa, Zac, Tomias, Ze'ev, Rixey, Caleb, Stephanie, Claire, Kelly, Allison, Adina, Cecilla, and Lily. You will always have each other and can always call U Mich home. So much love for you all. ♥♥
Want to go here more then anything, and I look forward to this every year.
I look up to you guys so much
YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE AHHHH
Dare I say... best one yet?!?
No one talking about the sick vocals on Hail to the Victors during the credits??
this is the highlight of my year
YES i’ve been looking forward to this all year!
The lyrics writing this year is truly phenomenal. Has Sondheim all over it - the duality, the layers.
im not even a musical theatre major but i need to be a michigan student after seeing this
I love watching these!!!
every year i come back cause it's so good
Loved it!! Btw, I recognized Sofia. She was in The Prom (2020)💜
my favourite time of the year is when umich mt senior entrance drops DJSAKFDAHJFHASJFASJASJFA WONDERFUL TO SAY THE LEAST
I find so much comfort in these! Keep coming back year after year to check out the new seniors 🥹 Like, I’m only a random girl from Sweden who am weirdly connected to this program 🫶🏼
every year i watch the senior video and every year i cry
pure talent and amazingly loving artists
Literally look forward to these every year 💙💛💙💛 Go blue.
I see you, Hoke--great job MT23! Love it!
I hope everyone in this class all the success!
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
AGAIN! Wow! Just amazing! So many stars and talents in this video from beginning to end!
Class of 2023 theatre ed/ Theatre for youth major here at ecu ! I love this
my favorite people in the whole world!!!
awesome talent
THIS SENIOR ENTRANCE!!!!! 🔥🫶🥹🥰🤍 come on!!!
Gets better every year!
get it Timmy!!!
I hope with all my heart that I’ll be there to watch the class of 2024 senior entrance in person 🤞
Any Updates??
omg it’s that time of year
I would love to see them attempt a Therapy thrift I love that song.
ZE'EV MY KING
i don’t go to umich but i look forward to these every year
GO Claire-Bear!!
Im from England I look forward to this every year lol
These guys makes me wanna go there so bad....
Even though I can't sing, can't dance, and are definitely not american
I was SO looking forward to this but I gotta say I'm slightly disappointed with the sound quality :( Seems like it was much better in previous years!
Lily Loves correct captions are up now
THE INTROS DAMN
It would be so great if there was a proper transcript so we can all understand the clever lyrics. Accessibility is the new diversity 😉
absolutely!! my favorite part of these videos were that they were deaf friendly so my brother could enjoy with me 🥲
still such a beautiful entrance though!! best of luck to this beautiful class 🫶🏼
if you turn on the captions they have all the lyrics transcribed!!!
but the transcript really doesnt help deaf and hoh people in real time because it massively shrinks the screen size. captions/subtitles are the accesible option so we can all enjoy the content in the same way, and not give disabled people the lame, afterthought of a second rate experience
the non auto generated captions are up now
I believe they are working on formal captions. They may be up. They definitely had that in mind!!
I've been waiting for this one it's my graduation year let's go class of 2023 High School and College
I’ll be on that stage one day guys mark my words
16:50 guy at the bottom's face was my exact reaction
This is so interesting my school doesn’t do anything like this
Isn’t the girl with the jeans in the prom movie as Shelby!?!
omg i knew she looked familiar
All this representation makes my heart so happy. Y'all are damn superstars and future world-changers.
NICKKKK
Omg they did the Lemyanka @22:38
should i transfer to UM, get a musical theatre degree, and change my life just so I can do a senior entrance? i think...yes
am I crying? maybe I am.
go michigan mt!!
I swear the girl who does the speech at 8.40 was in the prom on Netflix ?
The camera quality for the far shot is so blurry :/
How did the senior entrance originate? My class (95) didn’t do this. We were first NYC senior showcase though.
If I’m not mistaken the tradition started with the class of 2007? Their video is up on Andrew Keenan-Bolger’s channel!
@@beep2452 Even then, it was just them introducing themselves. It didn't become the half hour medley until...2016? I think that's the first one on TH-cam anyway.
Hey Eric! For those who didn’t go to UofM, this grew out of a long-standing fall department meeting tradition, where Brent Wagner would ask each student to introduce themselves and BRIEFLY say where they were from & how they spent the summer. Seniors, of course - thrilled to finally be seniors - were known to elaborate a bit… and that led to Andrew Keenan-Bolger’s class (2007) who became the first to musicalize their intros. Beep is correct; you can still find the video on his TH-cam channel. Justin Paul had just graduated the previous year, but he’s on the keys: th-cam.com/video/r6P_wfkCwh4/w-d-xo.html
:)
They should produce a musical about UMich to broadway. Should be marketable. Understand many of the pieces in this production have copyrights. Replace them with original music.
Behind the scenes
what happened to ryo and the rest?
from what i could find seems like they took gap years bc of the pandemic
Ryo went back to Japan and took a gap year so he’s technically a junior.
omg the guy from tiktok
Kitchener waterloo ontario canada queen street kw Octoberfest
where is the 2024 one
truuuu
It’s almost tiiiiime…
someone lied to her serval times
There’s some off pitch singing in this performance. Atypical of the program
Tamra...girl. Just say you're racist and homophobic and stay out of "woke" people's business. What the hell do you even mean by "woke"? Are you scared of POC and queer excellence? Be afraid because we ain't going nowhere. Thanks for watching our entrance! God bless your tired soul.
well we now know what you don't prioritize - kindness
@UCD79WbEekS3VflU_oAntOrA Your original comment included something along the lines of “now we know that U-M prioritizes image over talent”. The fact that you edited your comment to make yourself seem justified is comical. Spread your negativity elsewhere. This performance is FABULOUS.
@@CAnthony4 it was worse. Paraphrased she was "shocked and disappointed" of the level of singing and assumed that "woke is prioritized over excellence"
@@ann-kathrinfischer6763 well, she remains incorrect.
These get worse and worse every year.
