Saw it in Sydney at the Opera house and thoroughly enjoyed it as did my then 15 year old daughter. Such fun. Agree with you about the structural problems, but you can’t help but fall in love with it. Would love to see the glow up!

Yep it was called True Connection

I saw it in Sydney and loved it :) As the parents of a 16 year old (15 at the time), we thought it was a frighteningly realistic documentary :D

I completely agree with your comment about part 1, it didn´t have the flow and energy of the second part. I did enjoy it, like everybody singing along so quickly and the concert atmosphere. My 17 year old loved it... I´m not the right demographic 😂

😂the Aussie accent 👏🏻👏🏻 I was lucky to see Fangirls in 2 Sydney runs & loved it. I want to see the updated version in London but sadly can't make it over. So hopefully it comes back here with the new updates. & Yes the groups name was True Connection in Australian run.

trust in me is great

i kind of like wish

Excited about Carrie tour (the only problem now is picking which date & guest to see) and for the producers. Also other news that dropped (unsure if you saw this before recording) is that Hadestown announced that Donal and Grace will be leaving at the end of Aug (recently went back and this cast are amazing so strongly recommend going before they leave)

First!!

It's so great that so many shows are touring in the UK. I wish it was the same here.

Love the enthusiasm and detail! This is the first of your vlogs that I’ve come across and I had to subscribe. Looking forward to catching up on your other videos.

the west end version is definitely the best however i also like the broadway version i loved the fact that veruca is russian and is dismembered, the weakest version for me and the uk tour i think it is the poorest of all the versions

nice video

Ratigan!!! Great mouse detective is sorely underrated. As much as I love Tim Currey I agree that the song doesnt compare to the other villan songs. His performance is top tier though.

You forgot the greatest thing about World's Greatest Criminal Mind: Vincent Fricking Price! Also you forgot "Les Poissons" from The Little Mermaid. Who knew Odo could be such a psychotic chef?

One villain song that sadly never made it to the big screen. Was a song called “snuff out the light” and it was sung by Yzma from the Emperors New Groove, But due to storychanges they couldnt fit it in. Its a great song, you can hear it on RUclips.

Ratigan for the win!

I feel like I Just Can't Wait To Be King is actually the worst of the songs from the original Lion King. That's nothing against it, just that every song in Lion King is good. Circle of Life. Hakuna Matata. Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Be Prepared. There is not a single miss.

Caveat that I'm not super familiar with some of these Louder Than Words / Who Lives Who Dies - Who Lives Who Dies Build a Prom / Being Alive - Do not know either song, so will default to yours (Build a Prom) For Now / A Glitzy Finale - For Now Why We Tell The Story / Sunday (Reprise) - Sunday (Reprise) Children Will Listen / Light - Children Will Listen (I was in Into the Woods in high school, so a little biased here) Light at the End of the Tunnel / I See Stars - Light at the End of the Tunnel (such a shame this gets through while matchups 8, 10, and 11 both songs beat both of these) Midnight Radio / Seeing You - Midnight Radio Song of Purple Summer / SIX - SIX (I have a soft spot for the historical stuff behind it) Opening Up (Finale) / Les Mis Finale - Les Mis Finale Rose's Turn / Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag - Rose's Turn (this tears me apart - Chicago is prob top 3 for me for a show on the whole, but the finale is not the singular best part) One / Let The Sunshine In - One (another major wrench here - I'd heard Let the Sunshine In before I was even aware of the existence of Hair, so I have a harder time thinking of it as Hair's finale, rather than just a song. One, I tie more closely to Chorus Line) Don't Feed the Plants / Little Big Things - Don't Feed the Plants Welcome to the Rock (Finale) / Just Be - Just Be Jump in the Line / Road To Hell II - Road to Hell II Cabaret's Finale / Find My Way - Cabaret's Finale You Can't Stop The Beat / Flying Away - You Can't Stop The Beat Who Lives Who Dies over the song I'm not familiar with For Now over Sunday Children Will Listen over I Can Finally Eliminate This (Light at the End of the Tunnel) Midnight Radio (barely) over SIX Les Mis over Rose's Turn (I'm so sorry Ellie, I can't eliminate Les Mis, it's possibly my winner overall) One over Don't Feed the Plants Just Be over Road to Hell You Can't Stop the Beat over Cabaret Who Lives Who Dies over For Now Children Will Listen over Midnight Radio Les Mis over One (can't say it skated to the final, that's 2 big eliminations in a row) You Can't Stop The Beat over Just Be Who Lives Who Dies over Children Will Listen ( 🥲) Les Mis over You Can't Stop The Beat Les Mis over Who Lives Who Dies

The seeding in this bracket is wild (I'm sure it was random). Having to eliminate one of One or Let The Sunshine In in the first round, while also having to advance one of Starlight Express or Mean Girls - can we just put them in a group stage, so the obviously better songs both get to advance...

In my opinion Alice By Heart has the best finale song of any musical

Prob an unpopular opinion since a. it's old and b. it has no words, but Night on Bald Mountain is absolutely my favorite Disney villain song. Might not qualify for lists like this though since it existed as a song prior to being in Fantasia.

Fun fact: Jafar had two songs that didn't make the final picture ("Why Me?" and "Humiliate The Boy"). Speaking of cut villain songs, Yzma also had an absolute showstopper at one point. "Snuff Out The Light" didn't survive the transition from Kingdom of The Sun to The Emperor's New Groove, but it's so infectious a rhythm and Eartha Kitt is on such great form that I vote we give it accredited status anyway.

You delivered, as usual

For me, "Hellfire" edges out "Be Prepared" because of the genius decision to have it immediately preceded by "Heaven's Light." That musical diptych is just *chef's kiss*.

I don't know, any song from Wish not immediately being dropped to F-tier kind of made me question the future rankings you'd give but the fact that you didn't put Poor Unfortunate Souls in S-tier kind of sealed it for me.

Surprised you didn’t rank poor unfortunate souls higher after you struggled in your villain bracket between scar and Ursula. Also now I really want to see you either do a bracket or tier list for all the muppet songs

the way I clicked play immediately 😂 btw Jafar has a great villain song in the Aladdin sequel!

Just literally watched The Muppets It is Tex Richman It was ok. F tier is fine

Gaston is a rubbish villain song, I’m sorry. D tier for me

This is the tier list we needed 🤩 Also got confused between tier and brackets lol 😂

It has everything. The book, the music, the cast. Just strikes right to the heart.

as someone who just finished up with a production of the broadway version as veruca salt, hearing you talk about her death was absolutely HILARIOUS

That is the weirdest Les Mis tie-in I've ever heard of. Obviously I've already downloaded it and I'm gonna be obsessed with it. We need more video games based on musicals!!!!

I want to play this game so bad!!

Omg just seen this tonight. Absolutely loved it... I mean totally cheesey but I loved the songs, the acting and the piano playing.

Glorious chaos. Well done

ArmJoe has to be one of my favorite “wait, that exists?” Things of all time lol

For me it will always be Hairspray
