The Official "Bad High School Productions on YouTube" Megathread

[taylorPHENOMENON2]

That "Mr Messtof" video has just become my favorite.

[changinandhow]

I almost feel bad posting high school productions of Evita, but.

I dare that chick to try harder to sound more like Patti.

[She_Had_Refinement]

OK it's not a production... but these are probably the flattest pies in london, and a capella...

Wow, I actually know which HS did the Evita clip. They're usually known for doing good shows. I won't say anything about this clip, though I will say that the guy that plays Peron turned in an... amusing performance in a production I saw there.

And if this girl got the Witch (not the same school as the one from Evita), I could just imagine how everyone else sounded.
Last Midnight

bwaylvsong: That "Last Midnight" clip made me want to cry...I'm going to give them a *little* slack because they are apparently a Technical high school, but...Seriously. Painful.

Well, I'll say this for her: at least she had great energy. Usually you see these kids walking slack-jawed through everything.

[stupidbeans]

that two ladies video made me cringe

[Marinacat]

Like a car wreck - I shouldn't look but I can't help myself.

I only *wish* we had our high school shows on youtube. They featured a then unknown Edie Falco in the lead.

[stupidbeans]

I'm amazed high schools even do cabaret with its extremely risque content

[Insider2]

Thanks for this thread. It will help a lot of artists whose rights have been infringed upon by unauthorized video-taping and posting. This is fantastic. Keep it coming.

Here's one of The Wedding Singer.

Dancing is pretty good for a HS. "Come Out of the Dumpster" is pretty good. But the opening number is...well...

"most likely to make the original composers want to give up writing music"

Throw in choreography too just for that horrendous 'out tonight'

[ShbrtAlley44]

In regards to that Cabaret video, Forbidden Broadway has never rung truer...

"Leave your hopes of being entertained OUTSIDE!"

[broadwayboy101]

In response to that first Les Miz clip...the Eponine wasn't that bad...the rest made me laugh hysterically though

[Mythus]

All I have to say about this thread (so far) is...that Asian-inspired Into the Woods is very interesting.

[NGD2225]

Marius wins for featured male. Are we all in accord?

[Shannon Bo Dannon]

I completely agree on that..poor kid,

[BroadwayChica]

I am completely in love with the Marius from that first clip. What a bizarre, awful, insane performance. I love it so much, and can't stop watching. The clip of him doing "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" is so heinous, it's somehow genius...I'm speechless. Thank you, You Tube.

[Rymes_With_Witch]

Y'know, I was fine with the Wedding Singer clip til their Robbie started singing...

[WordedGrace]

Love this thread! I have to add a few because I love checking out the horror that is high school musical horrors.

These are different versions of "A Rested Body" from The Wiz.. These could be nominees for horrible singing, choreography, costumes, direction, casting, and musical direction

She's not really terrible but she's not great.

Someone put these kids out of their misery!

And an actually great version of it!

This thread is so beautiful that sometimes I don't think I can stand it.

[eatlasagna]

aaah... Marius... that kid is awesome! haha... what made that song even more kick a$$ was when he pounded his fist into the ground at the end... i couldn't stop laughing!
