That long note at the end of “Lets hear it for the boy” was SO healthy like OML

[@Sodapop-gi4bu]

Rusty is probably one of the most forgotten and iconic roles in musical theater....because who WOULDN'T WANT TO PLAY A SASSY SOUTHERN GIRL WHO LOVES TO DANCE AND CHEER FOR HER CRUSH IN THE 80s?!?!?!?! 'Lets Hear It For My Babyyyyyyyyy" 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@lonelyforestfae]

Too true oml. I just was in Footloose and I wish I jad the range for Rusty, but alas I'm an alto and cannot hit some of those notes in Hear it For the Boy aughhhh

[@melissafern1020]

True I played Ariel in footloose but my best friend played Rusty and “Lets hear it for the boy” was one of the most fun songs to do

[@sw33t21]

Hi just so everyone knows the girl who plays rusty was a freshman in this video, just thought you all should know :)

[@uggbootgf]

Sw33t ik i felt like crap when i found that out. I’m doing NOTHING productive with my life.

[@jordanstibal8834]

[@BouncyBeccaaa]

Finally a Jo that doesn't sing Astonishing!

[@alanamcqueen4856]

Facts

[@dignature123]

Okay everyone's right. Rusty killed that. I'm also a fan of the Elle and the Dorothy (her voice is so mature, I completely forgot she was in High School. This was a really good set!

[@parkerjennings9465]

Thank you, thank you!

[@dignature123]

[@paigerussell3058]

THAT GIRL SINGING I DON'T CARE IS MY CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND AND I'M SO PROUD OF HER

[@JT-jd7sz]

Hard to believe Rusty is only a freshman

[@elliotjrealtor]

Evolutionary Potato wait really?

[@JT-jd7sz]

Yeah I remember the hosts saying that at the Macy awards.

[@JohnSmith-kw5tk]

OK IS NOBODY GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE ELLE!!! SHE KILLED IT

[@samg5601]

[@vpjorge101]

She slayed that last note!

[@MrEthanElliott]

THATS MY BEST FRIEND GO KAYLEE

[@ShockwaveTheUnicorn]

she was screaming 👀👀

[@savannahstudios5010]

She screamed ......

[@DesireAmaiya]

I’m OBSESSED with the way Rusty says “mama”!!!! And Elle’s last note!! So clear and crisp!! Love this video!

[@gramps2matt]

Hey Jimmy Awards, have you ever thought of bringing back previous contestants and interviewed them on how the Jimmy experience helped them? Maybe a "here's who we had in previous years and what they've done since" video. Even if the persons are no longer in theater seeing what they accomplished would be interesting.

[@JimmyAwards]

Stay tuned! We had a video highlighting a few of our previous nominees at the ceremony this year and plan to release that soon.

[@AsherHalperin]

But I mean I keep replaying the Rusty part over and over again, and I probably will watch it a couple hundred more times. The greatest.

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

8:45 i don't even know how footloose is the clear highlight, but damn girl slayed me!

[@climbinguphill]

So many talented girls in this medley my goodness. I am really impressed. Parker Jennings's voice is beautiful, and Maggie Gidden's stage presence is fantastic.

[@parkerjennings9465]

Thank you!!!

[@GhostlightG]

Maggie Musco is the most mature-sounding Wednesday I've ever heard! I love it! Also Maggie Gidden, you're an icon. Like I can only wish I had that kind of breath control

[@nathandiaz4847]

Maggie Gidden was absolutely incredible and has an amazing voice! She killed that solo!

[@seansova777]

Rusty was incredible!

[@ida_tello7475]

My favorite part is at 9:20 when Rusty is singing. AMAZING.

[@wowitscat]

Nobody's talking about the Elle, but she was incredible!! Better than some of the broadway elles

[@jacobmccain8794]

Katie Li shes my friend. Classically trained. You hear sing like a broadway ballad you’d be blown away. Super versatile!

[@j.j.225]

PARKER JENNINGS OML! She killed it! Doing Georgia proud!

[@parkerjennings9465]

Thank you!!!!!

[@mronquillo526]

OKAY RUSTY AND DOROTHY WERE ON TWO DIFFERENT ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM OF FANTASTIC TALENT GALORE

[@uggbootgf]

Mariel Abbey Dorothy’s voice is so pretty i would love a full cover of this number from this.

[@oathkeepersoblivion1]

The Leading Player was amazing!

[@rhiannad7252]

Coming back to this because all of these ladies are iconic

[@a.vagardner]

The girl who sang I don’t care was awesome!!

[@ellamei3118]

[@jakeprice4180]

IM LIVING FOR THIS MEDLEY OH MY GOD

[@reneeangely8446]

Man, Maggie Gidden as Rusty was so good! Definitely the standout. But I also loved the Leading Player, Drowsy Chaperone, Dorothy Brock and Vanessa.

[@Jo-ik1bf]

I’ve watched a lot of these Jimmy videos(if not all of them) and I keep coming back to watch this video to see/listen to Maggie who plays Rusty! Her voice is incredible and she’s so natural and believable! I hope she goes far if that’s what she wants to do!

[@lizziebrown6977]

WOW! the girl playing rusty was great!

[@elizabethsigmon2731]

[@jadeveronica4424]

THAT RUSTY THOUGH

[@mackg.6496]

Rusty was so good. I agree. But are we not going to talk about that last Elle Woods note?

[@izzy1157]

Do any classical singers ever get a spotlight? There’s a place for them on broadway too

[@Mandyn8868]

Hayley Williams there aren’t many at the jimmy awards because high schools don’t do classical musicals a lot

[@alinawaffle]

No one is talking about Wednesday, she killed it!!

[@michaelswain-smith6012]

These girls are amazing!! The voice & character development with the Vanessa was GOLD!!

[@karenbenedict996]

Everyone did such a great job! I especially love Addison Albert's voice!!

[@mattmanning4252]

That girl from footloose was really good

[@yeehehehaw]

omg everyone is ignoring the girl singing i don’t care but her voice is AMAZING. it’s so broadway, i love it

[@graceliz865]

Maggie is ICONIC as Rusty. My school is doing Footloose next spring and I'm trying out for Ariel, Rusty, Wendy Jo, and Urleen because I want to play a teen role because I always play the mom because I'm 5'7". My voice teacher wants me to do whistle tone in a song to pull off Rusty. Wish me Luck!

[@ilurvsharrypotter]

[@xxobrittanyg]

[@bagelbenji]

[@oliviagrove2735]

[@angelasanchez3100]

[@kellyhutchison3064]

2019. I think.

[@woodboys23]

I'm suprised the Dorothy didn't do Shadow Waltz or I Know Now

[@oliviaperez7979]

how do you make it to the Jimmy’s? like how do you get nominated?

[@riyabolander7375]

Olivia Perez It depends how high school music theater awards in your state works. Most states have a statewide awards program and you have to get nominated/win an award based on a performance in a show at a participating high school through that program to make it to the Jimmy awards. For example, WI (where I have experience) has the Jerry awards program and students who win an outstanding lead performer award can audition to be one of two students who get to go to the Jimmy awards. I know not all states have an awards program or participate in the Jimmy awards, and you also have to look into whether or not your high school participates in awards programs. Hope this helps!

[@bryanmontemayor6640]

Y’all sleeping on Brighton.

[@vogelmeister6809]
