When I saw it on tour, at 1:05:17 after Shakespeare did his tap, someone in the audience cheered and right before Nick started his he looked right at the audience member and pointed at them and said "NO, no." And continued to tap. It was the most hilarious thing ever.
I think it's because when we see it, we also hear the other singers tapping before singing "brighter than the rest of us, now you are the best of us", but we don't have additional context of more tapping to give our ears more of a hint when listening to the soundtrack. I thought it was claps and thigh slaps too.
We're sitting And watching people read Shakespeare We're watching people read Shakespeare We're watching stupid people Who like to read Shakespeare read Shakespeare
They’re not pockets. Christian said in an interview that when they were first made, most pants had holes in them so..they just... yeah. Anyway, it showed ‘masculinity’. It looks weird now though.
Old comment, but they were meant to show status and how rich someone was. People who didn't have cod pieces were obviously poor and the ones who could afford the big, bedazzled ones were rich. The king obviously had the biggest one in the land. Shakespeare having the bigger cod piece literally illustrates that he is more highly regarded, successful and is basically higher in society than the Nick. As for the white collars, the collars were used to absorb sweat and dirt to prevent clothes from getting stained.

I was at Brain's last show, and when he made his first entrance omg applause happened for like 5 minutes. It was amazing. He just stood there taking it all in. That is what I do in all of my shows when I have a funny line. XD Good times.
36:45 i was watching “tap dancing eggs the musical” and when nick said this line, he didn’t say luke, he just made some noise of forgetting. this has me fully convinced that rob forgot his line, and that makes it all the more funnier imo.
“raise a glass” is a general term, hamilton didn’t create it Hamilton is great but im tired of new theatre kids thinking everything is about Hamilton, theres nothing wrong with Hamilton but i hope you’re not like some “theatre fans” who watch Hamilton and then never watch musicals again and still have the nerve to call themselves theatre fans
Precious Gregory Avenue Q was at 26:38, pretty much the whole bit at 26:50 was Les Mis, I think he mentioned Seussical at 29:52, On the Town 29:57, Chicago 30:09, Rent 30:21, Annie 30:34, Pippin 33:47
This show is slightly different than the other bootleg. Is this previews. It has some lines that weren't in the other one, and some were in the other that weren't in this.
Me too! I’ve just discovered this musical as of January 31st this year when a local high school theatre department announced it as their summer show. I decided to watch this play so I could be able to audition for the production. Since watching it I have fallen in love with this show.
[ ] I consider it to be different for each person like Nicks villain is Shakespeare and Nigel’s is Brother Jeremiah and (in act 2) Shakespeare’s is Nick
Objectively speaking, the antagonist is the person who is the obstacle to the protagonists goals, so shakespeare is the antagonist while nick is the protag
I've seen this musical 3 times and will go again any chance I get. Fabulous perfect storm of writing, composing, dance and acting. Thank you for this! It will keep my longing abated til I can experience it live again.
I love how they made a reference to little shop of horrors. Its one of my favorites if you cant tell already, but it was just so neat. Especially since Christian got to be in it 😂!
I have a felling that, if this show was ever made into a TV film, that Mel Brooks would have a blast playing Shylock. I mean, God, that role looks tailor made for him!

This is one of the perks of your favorite musical not being super popular. The bootleg stays up for longer than 2 days on youtube
Miranda Rodriguez right! I had to download other bootlegs instead of using them on TH-cam, totally worth the risk of virus
Yeah Hamilton was one of the hardest to find. I got lucky and downloaded a bootleg of it the day it got uploaded
And 7 months
Thank you for posting!!!!
@@ZaharaGamez how do u download a bootleg
the guy laughing behind the camera the whole time during the performance of a musical is literally the cutest thing ever
charlie yes it's me IKR HIS LAUGH WAS ADORABLE
29:53
Then it's just pure dorkiness from there
IT IS, in so many bootlegs the filmer is like emotionless
one of my favorite things is hearing people laughing behind the camera! LOL
His laugh is so fuckinh cute oh my God 😂❤❤
Christian Borle mooooooves me in unreported ways
I wonder if he sleeps in the nuuuuuuuuude
Stop this isn’t fallsetos but yes
no. does not sleep nude. going on

Same but it happened to me 😂
the tap so you know is faked, they aren't actually making the sounds
@@johnmarks4278 Nobody cares
"Don't be a penis, the man is a genius!" best line in the play!
My nomination goes to "That... is... the... ♫ Stupidest thing that I have ever heard! ♫"
That one and “Tobey, OR NOT TOBEY!!” in act 2
And "he can't pee"
“I think by now we sorta know you hate Shakespeare.”
"He cant pee"
This show should never have left Broadway
@EllaDeMoore broadway honestly could do without Frozen.
If it didn’t leave broadway, I would have never seen it...
TheAnonymousWaffle There are shows on Broadway that currently have tours
Ella DeMore Frozen should just remain a movie IMO
tb to when christian borle had hair
Before watching this I always thought the tap scene between Shakespeare and nick was them slapping themselves like that scene from the spongebob movie
Chris Hansen shit same
same, i thought they were playing pattycake
Saaaaaame
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
I think it's because when we see it, we also hear the other singers tapping before singing "brighter than the rest of us, now you are the best of us", but we don't have additional context of more tapping to give our ears more of a hint when listening to the soundtrack. I thought it was claps and thigh slaps too.
I just watched Legally Blonde, so it's strange seeing Christian Borle in this😂
Same though, like he goes from American modern to William Shakespeare
And then there’s Marvin...
@Goodest Cat 🤨😧
NO BECAUSE I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED LEGALLY BLONDE 5 MINUTES AGO
Portia and Nigel's first meeting is literally theatre kids everywhere
Kaley Elizabeth Hutter true
Ok honestly YAS I WAS JUST LIKE OMG LOL
TRUUU
Kaley Elizabeth Hutter omg the most realistic thing everrr
TRUUUUUUUUUTH
39:20
Honestly by the look of this fandom the only lustful desires here is everyone crushing on the dude who plays Shakespeare
oh crap im a failure HIS NAME IS CHRISTIAN BORLE YOU UNCULTURED-
Chris is cool
Also the bottom jokes
I Love the Way and Bottom's Gonna Be On Top
Aka Christian Borle...
I'm not even mad about this guys giggles, they give me the will to live.
imtired same
Im a straight guy and I feel you lmao
Is there a pun there?
His giggles make me gay
he’s adorable 🥺
When I saw this on Broadway, Christian borle got a standing ovation when he walked across stage without showing his face. Legend. 3:56
I can’t get over Christian tap dancing out of the scene
1:06:49 HAHA IT GETS ME EVERY TIME
Christian’s fake accent is actually soooooooo good like damn
soothsayer: predicts what musicals are like to a T, performs an impressive complicated song and dance number
also him: OMELETTE yeap that's it
when the laughing guy says "oh brother...goodness" after "a musical" i almost died it was so cute
Nigel is so precious
Also Shakespeare was savage before it was cool
Christian's belt at 51:39 is INSANE
Steph Piano I knowww I replayed it like 10 times
in case anyone was wondering that's a freaking G#4.
"I hate Shakespeare, I really do. Unlike the rest of you, I hate Shakespeare!"
Hats Off we really wish you'd take him more seriously
it's weird how he holds his quill :/
and why does he have to write like that?
We're sitting
And watching people read Shakespeare
We're watching people read Shakespeare
We're watching stupid people
Who like to read Shakespeare read Shakespeare
Every GCSE student ever
The Bottoms brotherly love is so cute tbh like sibling goals
The guys laugh in "A Musical" makes me die everytime it's sp cute.
20 minutes in and i can tell Nigel is going to be my fave
yup, he is
No, shakespere bc Christian is ❤❤❤
What’s the actors name? o:
@@jessieg58 John Cariani
Nigel is my fave too
WHY WERE CROTCH POCKETS/COD PIECES CONSIDERED FASHIONABLE
goldenfinchh Well I keep thinking they are hard ons 😂
@@yummylemons172 I mean, that's what they're supposed to look like
They’re not pockets. Christian said in an interview that when they were first made, most pants had holes in them so..they just... yeah.
Anyway, it showed ‘masculinity’. It looks weird now though.
Because that was the fashion then

55:32 is my reaction to meeting Christian Borle.
that choreography has me choking
(in a good way)
Do you need CPR?
32:35 ensemble hands Brian the headshot the wrong way and he messes up hahahahah
Joaquin Dorado I love that so much every time I watch- shows even the professionals make mistakes.
A couple years ago I got to see this show with the original cast sense we didn’t get tickets to Hamilton. It was such a great night!

Whizzer’s Pants your username oh my god
Whizzer’s Pants love your name lol
1:06:48 Oh my god, Christian Borle is giving me life here
Christian's arms should be shown more
perks of loving a small musical: It's for 2 years
Did they seriously just have a tap dancing battle
Yes, yes they did
42:45 when theatre kids meet
participeyton omg so relatable thats me and my friends xD
Every time Portia and Nigel interact it gives me new cavities- it's so cute!I want someone to geek out about literature with
I can't believe they referenced Little Shop of Horrors, that's my favorite musical!
when do they reference it?
Right before the soothsayer predicts Hamlet.
1:06:50 Chris just fucking tapped outta there and I cAN'T STOP LAUGHING HELP
thank you! this made my day. (but also damn you, I cant stop rewinding)
AmeliaPanics IM DECEASED
THANK YOU FOR NOTICING TAHT BECAUSE THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! I CANT STOP LAUGHING!
AmeliaPanics he's just like ha yeet gonna go try and out write you gotta blast
Christina Heng 🤣
Not me flipping my lid every time Christian says or does ANYTHING as Shakespeare. How was he legally allowed to be that hot?
36:45 i was watching “tap dancing eggs the musical” and when nick said this line, he didn’t say luke, he just made some noise of forgetting. this has me fully convinced that rob forgot his line, and that makes it all the more funnier imo.
the guy that keeps laughing somewhat reminds me of thomas sanders
notdarylsalinas TRUE I didn’t think of that
I pray that this never gets taken down
This should be subtitled "The Codpiece Musical!"
DO NOT TOUCH THE MONEY BOX!!!!
too late
I love how youtube just recommends me these things
You are a god thank you your work is appreciated
why am i watching this instead of doing anything productive
ironically, if you drop the h in a modern london accent hamlet sounds a bit like the american of omelette
Watching this *is* productive
You have been conned by capitalism to think that something has to be productive to be a worthwhile use of your time.
The number. "It's a musical" is one of the best numbers I've seen on stage. Loved it!
Raise a glass to omelet
Christina Heng ayyyy, Hamilton reference
@@Kalebryee Hamilton didn't exist when this came out though.
Vincent Baskerville every new theatre kid thinks everything is a Hamilton reference and it’s annoying.
@@preciousreyes420 Well, true, but I believe it's fine so long as Hamilton isn't the only show they're planning to watch or something.
“raise a glass” is a general term, hamilton didn’t create it Hamilton is great but im tired of new theatre kids thinking everything is about Hamilton, theres nothing wrong with Hamilton but i hope you’re not like some “theatre fans” who watch Hamilton and then never watch musicals again and still have the nerve to call themselves theatre fans
3:31 "Yo he's the bomb!" my favourite bit
I want to see Ben Platt as Nigel, is that weird?
Galactic Goose heck no, he'd be awesome as him!
Galactic Goose yeeeeeeeeeeee
Not a fan of Ben Platt, but his voice is phenomenal.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
That actually would work
I'll totally watch a full musical of the black death, with the tap dancing grim reapers.
The references to avenue q, les mis, Chicago, rent, Annie, and on the town were amazing
there was also little shop of horrors in there
Mia Andreatta Was that pippin at the end of the song??
Where was which!? Thanks xD
Precious Gregory Avenue Q was at 26:38, pretty much the whole bit at 26:50 was Les Mis, I think he mentioned Seussical at 29:52, On the Town 29:57, Chicago 30:09, Rent 30:21, Annie 30:34, Pippin 33:47
A Chorus Line?
what if at 57:37 brian just........gently kissed christian’s nose
s m o o c h n
I’d ship it. So. Hard.
woah
nice
This show is slightly different than the other bootleg. Is this previews. It has some lines that weren't in the other one, and some were in the other that weren't in this.
Whizzer yes and some songs too..
lines also change throughout shows too sometimes like will roland kind of alternates between kinky and hot in sincerely me from dear evan hansen
Whizzer Your profile pic has a happy boi
Ironically, “Will Power” reminds me of “Rum Tug Tugger” from CATS! 👍👍👍
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! We saw this original cast on Broadway, and it was so good to see them all again! Christian Borle!!!! Love it!!
#YayHamlet

#congratsonhamlet
#YayOmelet
Shakespeare is Emmett from legally blonde
Mia Andreatta and marvin from falsettos
Its Christian Borle
He’s the holy, sexy, perfect, extraordinary, amazing, phenomenal, etc. Christian Borle.
Don’t forget Willy Wonka
I'm kind of new to the fandom, who plays as Nigel Bottom, he is purely adorable
… and has the voice of an angel… John Cariani
Whatever he's performing in, the moment Christian Borle appears on stage, I start smiling. Huzzah!
I've never seen something rotten, never heard the soundtrack, and I know nothing about it or the plot. Watching this tonight. Wish me luck
The costumes are so pretty!!! But they must have been so hot to dance in!
4 years, and it STILL hasn’t been taken down. The power of the less popular musicals.
"my religion is theater!" I felt that one to much for my own good.
20:04 omg me in any situation
"A Musical" is just as magical as I'd imagined.
I wished i knew this musical sooner :,,)) the choreography is so on point and songs are phenomenal wth!!
Me too! I’ve just discovered this musical as of January 31st this year when a local high school theatre department announced it as their summer show. I decided to watch this play so I could be able to audition for the production. Since watching it I have fallen in love with this show.
I also found out that the rights of this show were released back in January.
Has anyone managed to catch every reference in 'A Musical'?
3ChordsAndTheTruth honestly the whole thing is just references
There's a video out there with most of them
And not just ! Musical, there's references throughout the whole show :D
Who was the antagonist? I really can't tell weather it's Shakespeare or nick.
[ ] I consider it to be different for each person like Nicks villain is Shakespeare and Nigel’s is Brother Jeremiah and (in act 2) Shakespeare’s is Nick
Yes
Also *whether
Objectively speaking, the antagonist is the person who is the obstacle to the protagonists goals, so shakespeare is the antagonist while nick is the protag
I've seen this musical 3 times and will go again any chance I get. Fabulous perfect storm of writing, composing, dance and acting. Thank you for this! It will keep my longing abated til I can experience it live again.
I'm curious. What theater was this vid recorded the angle is excellent.
The fact that at 33:47 there is a pippin reference just made my life
i love how brian is just dancing to a musical the whole time it's so cute
i live for the guys giggles, it’s adorable
Brian D'Arcy James is so cute in Right Hand Man 😍 and Heidi slays as usual
15:19
AHH THE DORKY LAUGHS ARE SO CUUTE
Im still waiting for this to come to the UK!
Mia Bond saaame!
Same mate it looks so good
Same!!
There but New York as well.
Incase you're interested.. Birmingham repository theatre- October!! UK debut! hopefully things will be back to normal by then... !
Bless. Thank you
benplattypus i see you everywhere
Thanks, i try.
benplattypus NICE PROFILE!
i dont care that im watching this on my computer, i still screamed when Christian Borle came in
I love how there’s jokes for so many different people in this... my favourite are all the other musical references!
hamlet becomes omelette, makes you think twice about listening to astrologers 😅
I love how they made a reference to little shop of horrors. Its one of my favorites if you cant tell already, but it was just so neat. Especially since Christian got to be in it 😂!
back in the day, Tim Curry would have been a great Will.
I think Ben Fankhauser should be Nigel
Redwolfpup yes please
Redwolfpup and that's the say I die. My fave playing my fave
PLEASE
I want to see Ben Platt as Nigel
YES PLEASE
When I first heard “A Musical” I couldn’t stop laughing at the Chicago joke 😆
I’ve never said this before about anything, but I think Nick is my dream role.
Loved this show when I saw it on Broadway .....
The actress playing Bea killed right hand man even with her voice messed up. Having a frog in your throat when you perform is the WORST!
Nathan lane would have been a good Nostradamus.
wicked4ever62442 lol I know the man who plays nostradamus. Funny thing is, he was Nathan lanes understudy in the producers.
Actually, he was Franz Liebkind in the original production of The Producers with Nathan Lane.
I have a felling that, if this show was ever made into a TV film, that Mel Brooks would have a blast playing Shylock. I mean, God, that role looks tailor made for him!
26:41 Avenue Q reference
