Thoroughly Modern Milton
My first thought. I would watch this entire musical, especially with Tony Yumbeck in the lead.
Ashestoashesjc omg I can't believe I found one of my favorite TH-cam singers on this! You should cover showtunes Ashe!
With Mrs Meers as a drag queen disguised on the run from the law!
Could…actually work really fucking well.
Can't love this enough ❤
Who else is using this to learn the tap routine?
Me: *is scrolling through the comments*
Me: *hears tap dance*
Me: *frantically scrolls up*
I'm so down for a genderbent Thouroughly Modern Millie
Yeah I think it could be a lot of fun!
We need to talk about the dude in green hes a treasure
He is he played George in the drowsy chaperone and was so good!
How can this video not be seen by more people?
It's kind of embarrassing that I have watched it + 20 times now, it is such a brilliant version and I just can't stop click rewatch.
+Sacha E We agree! Help more people see it by sharing, Sacha!
Shut up
I'd love to see dead boy walking that'd be great
Pronoun Showdown has something close enough
I just need to know what Broadway Backwards is waiting for to do an all women Newsies number
I love his voice!!! It's fantastic!!! I especially love the knee wiggle at 1:04!!! It makes me happy... :D
The whole time all I could think was, "Forget about Dat Boi"
I KNOW RIGHT I'm playing Miss Flannery in my school's version so when I was learning the words I could literally only say 'Forget about the BOI'
I have some recommendations for future Bdway Backwards. I think that a male She's/ He's In Love from The Little Mermaid would be really cool. Also, maybe Part of your world from the same musical would be really cool. I don't care if you don't like these ideas, they are purely recommendations. Also, really good performance you put on this year,
This guy is incredible. Saw him in PRINCE OF BROADWAY. For that, he was robbed a Tony nomination.
When Yazbeck dances, no one can touch him.
🤮🤮🤢🤢👎🏾🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢 Go to hell
Wow!!!! He has so much control over his voice it's insane!
My mouth is on the FLOOR. THIS WAS OUTSTANDING!!!! I LOVEEEE
I've loved him since I saw him as Tulsa in Gypsy
+Shelby Lambert We love that he comes back every year to perform in Broadway Backwards, Shelby!
Tony the best song and dance guy around.
Tony Yazbeck is fabulous! I saw him in "On the Town" as Gabey, and I'll never forget his version of Lonely Town. And he looked fabulous without a shirt...
He was terrific in On the Town, and not just the singing and acting. I can't swear that he was the first Gabey to actually dance the "Imaginary Coney Island" ballet in Act Two, but he sure was memorable!
Me too. It was an incredible performance. He and that song were magic.
TONY FREAKING YAZBECK WOW BUT ALSO AT THIS POINT ITS REALLY BAD HOW FAST I CAN SPOT NEWSIES
anyone else here from monkey wrench on ao3
Yup😭
yeah
XD Chris Jackson at the end knows me too well. I got nothing else to do.
Idea: TMM only gay and set in 2022
Minus the teacher, their shirts are the bi flag colors
An antidote to a tough day.
I’ve worked in this office
No one:
Shangela: HALELOO
Who sang the A on top at the end?
I believe it was Eddie Korbich since his mouth was open the widest.
This is beautiful
He is that guy from Gypsy and A Chorus Line
OMG I'm in this next year I'm love this song!!!
Thoroughly modern Miles
So good!!!
Amazing!
Love it!!! :D
best number!
I love watching this video, it shows guys can also dance not just girls!
Jonathan Benn no one said that only girls can dance
Are they on the Kinky Boots set?
Yes. Broadway Backwards is an annual benefit concert we produce, and for several years it was performed at the Al Hirschfeld Theater, home to Kinky Boots when the show ran on Broadway.
@@bcefa Thanks! I thought it looked familiar.
i can imagine bill singing this so strongly hes so musical theatre kid
Wish tony yazbeck had done “the music and the mirror” sometime.
Excellent!
+bluefriend62 Thanks for watching!
Eddie Korbich is an absolute delight!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
Fabulous. Watch the "Twisted Broadway Melbourne 2013" version as well.
This puts the musical version of "Millie" on the right track! I loved the original movie but every time I see the musical version of it on TH-cam I'm bothered that the music and dancing looks too gay for the "straight" male characters. Looks perfect here!
Yasssssssssss
Sung this song one time I got lost, prevented me from panicking :)! Highly recommend!
love this!!!
I will now only hype up the boys with tap dancing.
Magnificent.
And funny too.
Well done! It was such a treat!
Tap dancing wasn't as good as the original choreography, and they were doing it in flat shoe.
Tyler Marlin if they are doing in flats it should be cleaner as they can pick up heels better. (Which I basically can't do in my character shoes as they are 3 inch ones
