That's the thing with theater: Long time ago, there was never a fourth wall! The whole "fourth wall" thing was only constructed after Shakespeare died and you got all these morality plays that ignored the audience.

[@Shakattackk]

This is SO interesting - thank you!

[@gryffonmanic]

Barbara and Adam: **die at the end of the song** BJ: wow a couple just died and you're all clapping

[@Otisboy121]

Bj: I love it! You’re really getting into the whole being dead thing.

Not without tossing the rule book!

Not me absolutely HEARTBROKEN that you haven't reacted to the rest of the musical yet purely after hearing that you weren't reacting to Dead Mom in this video.

I’m sorry! I’m a full time university student with a full time job, but I plan to make more content soon 😭

been obsessed with this musical for a while now, i LOVE the message behind it and behind all the songs, and imo it is SO much better than the movie! thanks for reacting to this :)

[@Shakattackk]

I don’t remember the movie that well but so far I agree! Thank you so much for watching :)

[@Shnizzelfritz]

This was great! I love that you were super focused on the lyrics and getting into the meaning of the songs, hyped to see your reaction to the rest of the show

[@evelynarcher5964]

I'd love to see part 2! And it's timely since beetlejuice just returned to Broadway this week!

[@FirstNameLastName-lp4qd]

The Whole Being Dead Thing reminded me of Sideways analyzing Sweeny Todd. He kept on finding hidden Dias Iraes, but here they're just obvious

[@junipersr]

I really hope you do the rest of this musical because the music is amazing even if a few of the later songs are a bit wierd out of context.

I’m back to making videos on this channel and continuing with Beetlejuice will be happening very soon!

[@singenstattatmen5096]

I would always recommend reacting to animatics for the songs, you get Soooo much more out of it and the story becomes clearer. :)

[@Shakattackk]

I’m not sure if I am able to due to copyright but if I can I definitely will

[@singenstattatmen5096]

@@Shakattackk You can just credit the animators or ask them beforehand. 😊 Plenty of people react to animatics and you usually find the creators in the comments thanking people for the compliments they will inevitably receive. 😁

[@MasterZeus94]

08:15 Fellow thanatophobe! Hi! Also, yes, thank you for this Christmas present!

[@DGHeina]

Thanks for the reaction! I discovered this musical not so long ago myself and now I'm obsessed, so... I'll be waiting for your reaction to other songs from Beetlejuice

[@angelasencio9427]

Something interesting has happened with Beetlejuice: :The Musical since 2020. I myself did not know that this existed. The only reason I did was because an animator that I like used the "Prologue" song for one of her animations. That led me to the Musical. Without going into details, this Musical got "kicked out" from Broadway on June 2020 ( The cast did a video about this in KZbin. ). Then Beetlejuce: The Musical community went through an evolution in this "permanent hiatus". End result was that on April 2022, Beetlejuice: The Musical was reanimated back into Broadway! ( Pun intended. xD ). So I suspect, that a lot of people that recently encountered this "Returned from the Netherworld" show, would love to continue seeing your reactions about this musical. At least I do! ^_^

[@wumbe3520]

We do want the waitress reactions lol, I've been waiting for them!! I almost thought you weren't able to finish reacting before seeing the full thing sjsjjs

[@Shakattackk]

I filmed them all in a day! I’ll take the hint dw, part 3 will be up in January!

[@Ergoperidot]

I didn’t know about this channel before this video but I love Waitress so I for one will watch the rest of it if posted.

[@lucypogson8719]

So I know this is a relatively old video now so idk if you will actually see this but beetlejuice is my all time favourite musical! Would you please react to the rest of the songs? (Especially dead mom and say my name at least) especially since beetlejuice is coming back to broadway next year!

[@Shakattackk]

I’m going to be doing a second part soon! My third year of uni is currently taking over my life, but I’ll make a part two super soon. By the end of this month hopefully

Yes, good stuff. Enjoyed your commentary.

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

As a note, when Barbara says "Look at these jugs!", Beetlejuice looks straight at her and then sees she's actually talking about jugs and stalks off. It's clear what he thought she was talking about.

[@Shakattackk]

Hahaha that’s super funny I love that

[@katiesherman6517]

You should totally listen to the rest of the album! It’s amazing!

[@michaelwardle7633]

Fun fact: Danny Elfman (who obviously composed the original score for the film) wrote a flippant song about death in his days with the band Oingo Boingo (“No One Lives Forever”) and it pops up in the soundtrack of Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Basically, everything goes full circle.

[@BlitzBat313]

Great reaction! Your comment on "are they jugs or boobs" is actually a joke in the musical, when she says that line Beetlejuice does a double take and then gets disappointed when he realizes they are just jugs.

[@beeblebooze]

You need to listen to the whole musical, it's so good!!

[@Iyzdor]

So the the rhyming here 4 times: Here isn't the Rhyme. When you use the same last word like that, the true rhyme is the word before it. So: Break, Wake, Fake, and Snake. A lot of rap artist do this. Is keep the same last word but rhyme the words before. Or have entire rhyming schemes.

[@-millie-6748]

I'm not sure if you know this but Adam and Barbara did actually have a kid? In a way they did but it was a miscarriage. They have another song but it was just cut out of the musical, it's called The Child We Never Had, or along the lines of that. I'm not sure about this but I think they have the crib because they probably bought it for that baby before it died, and they want to try for another baby but theyre not sure if they're ready yet. (The lyrics: ready set, ready set- not yet not yet) Edit: also at the end of ready set they both fell through the floorboards and died

Where is part 2?

[@Shakattackk]

Unfortunately I've kinda fell out of love with this KZbin channel over the years - I'm not really sure why. I think it's a mix of having a decent chunk of viewers/subscribers, being overwhelmed by quick growth over a short period of time rather than something sustainable and easy to adjust to. As well as managing people's expectations and my own personal burnout, I steadily just found myself not wanting to post here. I've been uploading to this channel for 11 years, and although content on here has looked different at various points in my life, a lot of the time I associate it with my child and teen-hood as I was most active on this channel specifically from age 13 until I was about 20. Think I've just kinda grown up as a person and I'm currently exploring other avenues of content creation - we actually just hit 1K followers over on Twitch and I'm steadily growing my concurrent viewership! The community we're building over there feels better and more ~me~ right now, just more representative of who I am as a now 24-year old adult. So I'm still on the internet making funnies, just in other places. I can't promise that I'll ever make regular content on here again, what that would even look like, or if it would be related to reacting/Beetlejuice in any way - but thank you for enjoying my content enough to want more. I appreciate it! Not saying I'll never return, I just have no immediate plans to. Just unfortunate that I've been doing this for so long, and I'm kinda just growing up. Sorry to disappoint, but maybe see you in the future.
