Have you guys watched the other clips from that production? The Fantine wasn't good, either!

I actually love those "eastern-style" clips of Into the Woods.

Here's a great example of drama programs with high budgets and low talent
And an awful director, to boot.

^^yeah she was pretty bad...most of them were, except the eponine was okay.
i don't understand why they couldn't sing the correct words in the first verse, but did in the second? or why there are mimes in empty chairs at empty tables.

Now this one is too amazing. It's not exactly a high school production, but is is a high schooler sucking horribly at broadway music.

wow ^ that's just...tragic
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

This was my high school's bad production of Footloose from last year. The set and the choreography were...well, see for yourself.

Show choirs are my favorite.

This one is my ABSOLUTE favorite of "Once Upon A Time"

Seriously--this video made me want to cry for this girl... show choirs crack me up--but if you want to see the REALLY tragic part, fast forward to about 2:30. I must have watched this video atleast 25 times. It never fails to bring a smile to my face.

(referring to the show choir):
It wasn't so bad at the very beginning, then I skipped to the end. Ouch!

It's unfortunate that the horrible rendition of Phantom of the Opera was removed, it was my favorite.

This isn't high school, but I felt it deserved to be seen.

That Aida clip is terrible. How can you cast someone that bad? I know Amneris seems like a comedic role, but you have to have someone who can be funny, sing the hell outta "My Strongest Suit" and then do a complete reverse and break your heart with "I Know the Truth". You can't just give the part to Sharpay.

He found my youtube account and started sending me hateful PMs. (you see, last week, i made him my vendetta, insulting him at every turn. Well, I got a little carried away, suggesting he to commit matricide as well as suicide, and he was angry that I wasn't banned, and then made some death threats of his own. Just in case you didn't know.) He didn't want to send me a PM on BWW because he doesn't want to make it clear that his new identity is lil TV sets, though it's pretty obvious. That's how I know.

Well, there was an understudy Marian with an amazing voice. She was a junior and the one who got the lead was a senior. It was totally unfair casting. This one sang lower notes and just didn't do as great as the understudy. Most all of the cast thought this and as a running joke we always have this cat on stage in every scene of every show and in this particular performance one of the Pickalittle ladies tied fishing line to the cat and kept it hidden the whole show until then and quickly set it all up during the scene change. We were all cracking up and the audience was also. She didn't think it was as funny....
