I’m convinced that Tina Fey thought that Cameron Dallas was Shawn Mendes and was like “whoops.”

[@noodlearg9745]

you have convinced me

[@Gossipgurl444]

This makes so much more sense now

[@David-oo8yo]

I’m convinced now too

[@sergiomolina6138]

When I first heard this, I thought it was ridiculous, but then you realized how similar they both looked

[@CarolinaGifalli]

I was so sure it was a weird Shawn photo on the S&R thumbnail lol

[@solcarlosofficial]

I feel so bad for Sabrina carpenter she only got to perform the role of candy for two perfomances 🥺🥺🥺😊

[@sergiomolina6138]

Ikr! I was even hoping she would play the role again for the movie musical adaptation (tho I am interested in how Angourie Rice is going to do) but I am hoping that she will do Broadway again (I think she would make a great Anne Boleyn in Six)

As someone who saw Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed in Business, I can confirm that he did a great job. He definitely belongs in the “standing ovation” category.

[@LittleMissMaddie1998]

Agreed

[@jufamy962]

I've seen him on West End a lot too, he's amazing in theatre!!

sadly, now a days EVERYONE gets a standing ovation. its ONLY for PERFECT performances. you don't deserve one for simply trying

[@torijeri]

if you ever do a part 2 here’s some i’d love your opinions on!! Gaten Matarazzo - Jared in Dear Evan Hansen Jordan Fisher - Evan in Dear Evan Hansen Sabrina Carpenter - Caty in Mean Girls Lea Michele - Fanny in Funny Girl

[@neivilde.1242]

i was gonna say that also

[@ashleydavis1611]

I had the same thoughts!

[@vannahedits]

also Kirstin Maldonado in Kinky Boots, Vanessa Hudgens in RENT, Todrick Hall in Kinky Boots and Waitress, and Nicole Scherzinger in RENT

[@darth_kal-el]

you need to add Mel B as Mimi in RENT.

[@darth_kal-el]

@@vannahedits Vanessa and Nicole never did Rent on Broadway. needs to be Mel B in RENT.

[@mctayy]

Stunt castings I can think of that weren't discussed: Nick Jonas in How to Succeed, Darren Criss in Hedwig, Sara Bareilles in Waitress (makes sense but still a stunt cast), Josh Groban in either Sweeney Todd or Great Comet, Fran Drescher and Carly Rae Jepsen in Cinderella.

[@solcarlosofficial]

Sabrina carpenter on mean girls

[@Langwidere903]

Ok but Josh Groban was a spectacular Pierre. Very different from Dave Malloy ofc, but perfect nonetheless

[@mctayy]

@@Langwidere903 oh definitely i by no means am saying these are bad. i love josh groban in great comet - but josh groban in anything on broadway is a stunt cast, haha

Nick Jonas was also Link in Hairspray, wasn't him?

[@embulger]

you guys should do a video about celebrities you wish would get stunt casted and what roles you would pick for them

[@brendan_l18]

stunt casts that were missed that id like to see talked about 1. Rosie O'Donnell - Suess, Grease, and Fiddler 2. Lea Michelle - Funny Girl 3. Corbin Bleu - In the Heights 4. Raven Symone in Sister Act 5. Wendy Williams in Chicago

[@mctayy]

I really expected them to include Lea Michele that was a big stunt cast that caused controversy. (but maybe thats why they don't want to include it?)

[@cookiemonstar22]

@@mctayy I think they did a full video reacting to that so it could be that they're over it

[@darth_kal-el]

Mel B in Rent should be added to this list.

[@jessicachapman2864]

I was waiting for more Disney names like Jordan Fisher and Sabrina Carpenter!!!

[@jennybacon2429]

[@Randomfangirl-f4q]

Omg I’m doing anistasia and he would be amazing

[@haleyerogers4380]

Oh we need more of this. Todrick Hall in Waitress or Kinky boots? Kirsten Maldonado in Kinky boots? Sabrina Carpenter in Mean girls? Jordan Fisher in Dear Evan Hansen? Darren Criss in how to succeed in business or Hedwig? Neil Patrick Harris in Peter Pan goes wrong? Al roker in waitress? That’s just what I got off the top of my head right now but I know there are many more

[@darth_kal-el]

Mel B in Rent.

[@residentnerd9928]

The Hoff in Jekyll & Hyde

[@Cabenson4eva]

Emma Stone in Cabaret. I seen a slime tutorial of her in it and she was so good. Definitely Standing ovation category.

[@lene_m.r7778]

The weird thing about Cameron Dallas in Mean Girls is also that the original Actor for Aaron didn’t leave. I don’t remember what exactly happened, so I could be wrong, but I think the show was struggling and they needed someone to get more people there and so they had Kyle Selig (Original Actor for Aaron) go on a long vacation, to have Cameron Dallas come in. After his run ended, Kyle came back.

[@if3359]

I think Kyle's vacation had been set already, and then they got Cameron to cover for that short time

[@chocolatesouljah]

@@if3359 Yup. Mean Girls did well at the box office for the entire run until the pandemic closed it. It wasn't an absolute sellout like a butsuccessful. I think Mr. Selig's vacation was a good time to try Mr. Dallas out.

[@IAmNotNicolex]

@@DJGNYC who pissed in your cheerios lmao odd of you to use (aka waste) your time coming to a video to hate rather than go do something positive with your time 💀 Ryan is in general loved by the musical theater community due to his work in Heathers since it was a very popular show.

[@facilityhues]

I really liked Josh Groban in Great Comet - idk if thats stunt casting tho because he already has a prolific musical background

[@jonathanbrantley8908]

Some considerations for a second video on stunt casting: Chicago (Liza Minnelli when she replaced Gwen Verdon in the 1975 production, as well as the countless acts of stunt casting that has kept the revival going for years) Aida (Toni Braxton, Deborah Cox, and Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child) Kinky Boots (Brendon Urie, Tiki Barber, Wayne Brady, and Todrick Hall to name a few) RENT (Mel B./Scary Spice, Drew Lachey, Joey Fatone, Neil Patrick Harris, Wilson Cruz, Tracie Thoms, Tamyra Gray, and Frenchie Davis) Annie Get Your Gun (Reba McEntire) Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Neil Patrick Harris, Darren Criss, Taye Diggs) Wicked (Ana Gasteyer, Joey McIntyre, Taye Diggs, Justin Guarini, Rue McClanahan, Miriam Margoyles, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Ashley Parker Angel) Spamalot (Clay Aiken) Waitress (Jason Mraz and Katherine McPhee) Sunday in the Park with George (Jake Gyllenhaal) Evita (Ricky Martin) Sunset Boulevard (Glenn Close, Diahann Carroll, Rita Moreno) Kiss of the Spider Woman (Vanessa Williams)

[@tiffany02020]

Man it’s wild, Jinx is from the Seattle area and my friend was a huge fan of hers before they were even on RuPaul. We saw Jinx perform at Seattle pride ages and ages ago and do a Hairspray concert thing (not a full production but kinda like the Les Mis anniversary concerts) at the 5th Ave in Seattle. It’s so cool that Jinx has grown so much to be seen as a celebrity casting! OMG! And I was just looking at Jinx’s wiki to see if I’m forgetting something and I am!! I also saw her play Angel in Rent at the fifth Ave!!! Omg cannot believe I forgot that it was so amazing. Holy shit and Hedwig! I forgot that was Jinx!! Wow I used to see so much theatre haha younger me was so cool. Now I live too far away and i just can’t afford it. Wow this was such a memory blast. Sorry for the essay haha just meant to share a quick anecdote.

[@AntiSocialExtrovert323]

FYI, stunt casting happens in OBCs and first casts of revivals / is not just when a celebrity replaces someone else. This happens in *plenty* of OBCs. It's a fairly common way that investers of more "risky" musicals (originals, edgy revivals) to get a return on their investment. For example, Ben Platt and Kimiko Glenn were in OBCs, yet I think it's fair to assume that their name had bearing on their being cast. So their name becomes a type of "stunt", an attraction extraneous to the show itself.

[@marcblais]

The first name that came to mind just reading the title of this video is Cameron Dallas… and I unfortunately saw Mean Girls while he was in it playing Aaron and ouch. To put it nicely: it was ROUGH. So rough that every time he spoke or sang I could see audience members around me exchanging “wtf” looks and laughing at how bad it was… I feel bad for the guy and for everyone involved with the production who had to deal with this decision made by producers. It really just was a bad choice all around. On the flip side though I also more recently saw JoJo Levesque as Satine in Moulin Rouge and she was fantastic! Never would’ve guessed that it was her first Broadway show.

[@kevinlewis9369]

Daniel Radcliffe deserves a standing ovation! Saw it ! Was completely amazed!

Hey besties. You should look up what’s happening with Colleen Ballinger right now. There’s some really messed up stuff about child sexualization and grooming that’s come up recently. You might want to cut the bit about her out😅

[@jamesrawlins735]

How about Reba McIntyre in the 2001 revival of Annie Get Your Gun. I don't know if anyone knew what to expect but she killed it - and in fact she should have been nominated for a Tony (but I think the nominators didn't want to nominate someone that was seen as stunt casting.)

[@cboergesson]

She was great, but not eligible for a Tony. Bernadette Peters was the original Annie of that revival and she actually did win the Tony for it.

[@TeaTimeTV]

can vouch for Ryan as I also saw him in Wicked (with miss laurel!) and he was great! I had the added benefit of not being super familiar with his Disney career so I really didn’t have any high or low expectations. He fit right into that role like a glove ^-^

[@Rachel-xu4br]

keith habersberger (from try guys) playing a mover in beetlejuice was probably better than the performance of cameron dallas. i didn't even know this cameron dude existed. at least i know keith had a little acting experience and had an actual dream of being on broadway growing up. the video they showed on the channel was very emotional video at the end. i do recommend anyone who has dreams of going on broadway to watch it, cause it's so amazing to see Keith do it, nail it, and then the realization of what had happen hit him. it's really wholesome.

[@MarniCollier]

Ok but what is the line between stunt casting and casting someone who just happens to be very famous? Cos I never saw Daniel Radcliffe as a stunt cast. He was from all accounts very good and it was one of the very first things he did after Harry Potter I always saw it as an actor stretching the old acting muscles

[@theboundingman1598]

If you do another stunt casting list, you should include Bernadette Peters, from when she took over for Bette Midler in the revival of Hello Dolly

[@victoria-sillo]

I have to say, I saw Cody in Anastasia when I went to see it two weeks before it closed, and he was actually really great in the role! His rendition of Everything to Win was SO endearing

[@lucavandewalle2647]

From the footage I saw Cody actually did a great job in Anastasia ! 😅

[@allencandice76]

I 100% agree that Ryan was amazing as both Fiyero and Hans. He is also getting rave reviews as Tony in West Side Story at the moment.

[@gracesword5833]

I think some of the rankings, while agree, they’re harder to rank if you haven’t watched them and actually make a decision. Especially if we don’t like the show, but the person themself killed it. And I only say that because I’ve seen the standing ovation aspect for Jinkx and JOJO.

Question... and I'm really not meaning to sound snarky here, but can Daniel Radcliffe really be considered as stunt casting if he wasn't a replacement in the role of JPF for 2011 revival, but was the "original" casting, albeit in a 2011 revival (following a 1995 revival) of a 1961 musical? 😄

[@cubingwithari1586]

Pamela Anderson made me dislike Chicago… I saw it with her in it, and it was interesting……………..

By your own definition, Daniel Radcliffe in H2S is not stunt casting. He was the original J. Pierpont in this revival. He didn't replace anyone, He was eventually replaced by Nick Jonas. THAT was stunt casting.

[@SomethingCreative20]

He was actually replaced by Darren Criss who was replaced by Nick Jonas.

she would have been a great Mimi in Rent. She wold be a great Joanne.

[@jj-reads]

I saw Cody Simpson in Anastasia. My friend was so brutal critiquing his performance but my biggest issue with it is that they had to change the key of My Petersburg so he could sing it, which is one of my favorite songs in the show. 🥲 I have seen this show a bunch of times and every other time was with Derek Klena so it felt so different. But yeah I don’t know what audience he was pulling in at the time. That’s the same thought I have about Cameron Dallas. A friend of mine saw him. And even more confusing about that is Kyle Selig didn’t leave the show?? Did he just take a long vacation?? It was so weird that when Cameron’s run ended Kyle was just back. I mean I was glad for it but it was STRANGE. I also just saw Olivia Holt in Chicago and she was great. I always forget she has a great voice. I probably would not have ever seen Chicago otherwise.
