    I watched this at freshman orientation and was led to believe that life at U of M is an infinite musical.
    I want a goddamn refund.

    "Does everyone on this campus sing?" It's definitely a spoof of Starkids. Home to one of the very best theatre & music schools in the nation, Michigan totally rocks in the performing arts. In fact, Michigan rocks in almost everything with 95 of its academic departments & programs ranked among the top 10 in the nation. Awesome school!

  • @kruegertown89

    Billy Magic is C. J. Eldred. He's from Seattle. He played Elder Price in the 1st national tour of the hit Broadway show "The Book of Mormon" in 2012. He graduated from Michigan in spring 2013. His professional career was launched even before he graduated. Good for him. Wow, I just learned that Gavin Creel, another University of Michigan theatre grad, just won the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award in London for best actor in a musical for his portrayal of Elder Price in "The Book of Mormon" at the West End Theatre. It's kind of ironic that Gavin hasn't won the Tony, although he was nominated for best actor in "Hair" but now has a prestigious Olivier Award. To be acknowledged by the British theatre community for his talent is phenomenal. Gavin should've won the Tony for best actor years ago. However, I'd rather have the Olivier statue sitting on my mantel. Congratulations, Gavin!

    • @franconese01
      @franconese01 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think he just graduated from Michigan this spring. He took a leave of absence from school to go on tour. That's how talented our theatre students are. They get pro gigs even before graduating. Taylor Louderman did the same. She starred in "Bring it On" on Broadway. I don't think she's completed her studies either, but she plans to return to get her degree.

    It's official! Lourdes Ciccone, Madonna's daughter, will attend the University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre, & Dance this fall. Her photo is posted among the 21 freshmen entering U of M's musical theatre program this fall. Best of luck, Lourdes!

    • @Lausanne28
      @Lausanne28 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      iluvfirenze89 It's very difficult to get in, so she's very lucky. With nearly 1000 applicants that initially audition via video, then are invited for a live audition, only 20 students are accepted per year. It definitely helped that her famous mother was a former dance student in the SMTD at Michigan. The Wall Street Journal ranks Michigan & Carnegie Mellon as the top 2 collegiate musical theatre programs in the nation. The SMTD is one of the top performing arts schools in the nation.
