[@Wildecat10]

I laughed so hard when you started talking about not liking Mr. Wonderful just before Geoff started singing it. I knew he would change your mind. You noticed the look Geoff gave Cesar when he shouted Kill the witch, but I don’t think you caught that it was an Easter egg reaction because Geoff played the sea witch in the Little Mermaid medley. Great reaction. Geoff worked on this arrangement for years and it payed off.

[@Ally.20022]

OH NO!!! I didn't think of that. That make so much sense now.🤣

[@dj_410]

OMG you're so right! how did I not think of that!

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

Rachel was an understudy on Broadway in wicked ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Wildecat10]

In the role of Glinda. She was thrilled to be able to play Elphaba here!

[@lkayh]

Also it was a touring company, I believe. I love seeing her play Elphaba because you can see how much she loves this role.

[@dj_410]

OMG I would love to see that!

[@kathrynmenzel2615]

Emoni sings in The Bones and her voice with Eli’s is astounding. One of VoicePlay’s most underrated.

[@Traci2000]

Agreed. I love that one too!

[@dj_410]

OHHH I will defiantly need to look into it!

[@dawnburris6412]

I believe she also sang in I like me (I think that’s the name of it😂)

[@dgkesquire]

Her first collaboration with them was called "I Can't Believe It".

[@emilybennett6567]

After you react to VP's Little Mermaid Medley, you'll understand why Geoff was looking daggers at Cesar in "Kill the Witch". 😅

[@thisismetoday7423]

I thought he was just looking at him like dude, chill… same way he looked at Earl during Daddy Sang Bass 😂

[@par500dragon7]

LOL.. I hadn't made that connection! So funny.

[@dianeschluter9995]

😂 totally believing that now

[@dj_410]

Oh I actually have already! Check it out in the link in the description!

[@alyssadaniels7841]

I love seeing an actual Wicked fan’s reaction to this! Wicked is my favorite musical and Geoff slayed this arrangement (that took him years to make). Rachel actually was an understudy for Wicked on Broadway, but for Glinda’s part. Thanks for mentioning Layne’s stellar performance! He gets overlooked a lot for this performance because of all the vocals, but he crushed this!

[@dj_410]

It really shows when something is a passion project that someone has spent time and love on!

[@janetdw]

The harmonies in this are absolutely gorgeous. Because I Knew You gives me chills every time. But one of my favorite parts is when they start Good News. I love how Cesar goes up and then passes it off to Eli who goes right back down like they’re bookends.

[@dj_410]

YEESSSS!! Sooooo good!!!

[@karenponchak5304]

Did you catch Eli singing bass when Geoff was singing the first part of "Wonderful"? If you want to hear VoicePlay do "Seasons of Love" outside of an ACA Top 10, it's on AJ Raphael 's channel.

[@dj_410]

OMG YOURE RIGHT!! I just went back and re-watched! its hard to pick it up cause even bass doesn't sound like bass compared to Geoff hahahah

[@lkayh]

You know Rachel is totally crushing it when you are so caught up in her that you miss Geoff’s crazy subs.

[@dj_410]

RIGHT!!!! normally no one puts Baby (Geoff) in a corner! hahaha

[@bluedolphin05]

Emoni appears in Can't Believe It, The Bones, Love On Top, I Love Me and Sing. She also did live shows with them. The Sing Off Tour

[@CynicalTesuji]

I Love Me is so underrated!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

And Just Sing with Voiceplay.

[@dj_410]

OHH I LOVE 'I Love Me'!!!! I NEED TO HEAR THAT!!!

[@ronsbrat525]

@@dj_410 Make sure the captions are on. It tells who everyone is and how they know Voiceplay. That's also the first video Anthony was in with Voiceplay. It was done during covid so everyone is in separate places.

[@MiladyMacabre]

Rachel was with the national touring company of Wicked where she understudied Glinda. I just LOVE how she hands off the high note run to Eli at the beginning of Dancing Through Life. Fun fact: Rachel actually had laryngitis on the day of the video shoot. Side Note: Jeff Goldblum is listed on IMDB as being cast as the Wizard in the upcoming film.

[@dj_410]

OMG! Laryngitis and she still performed with that much energy and emotion (Obviously the vocals were pre-recorded but STILL!) if i had laryngitis id be in bed! hahahaha

[@vcg73]

This is one of my favorite Geoff arrangements. He always does fantastic transitions, but I loved the way he was melding and blending tiny reprises of previous songs into the mix of the big numbers, as well as creating tempo shifts that kept me on the edge of my seat.

[@dj_410]

It really is a masterful arrangement! He is so talented!!

[@lkreinmiller-author]

Goosebumps. Every time I hear Rachel sing gravity I get goosebumps.

[@dj_410]

100%!!! She is an insane talent!!

[@nudgificator]

Something about their 'Dancing Through Life' arrangement gives me '90s Disney cartoon series theme' vibes, like Gummi Bears or Chip 'n Dale'.

[@Rebecca-of7fh]

Let me guess - you were not prepared 😄🧡

[@toddmaliepaard9777]

We do our best to keep our requests as blindsiding as possible 😂

[@dj_410]

I never am haha

[@leesmisadventures]

Rachel was in Wicked on Broadway and has also played Wednesday Adams on Broadway as well!🤷‍♂️🔥😎🙌👍

[@dj_410]

Oh thats awesome! ive never seen The Adams Family Musical

[@liisaara7242]

This was so, so fun! Loved seeing how much you enjoyed it! And THANK YOU ANNIE for an awesome request!

[@dj_410]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Debs_Badger]

Actually...Jeff Goldblum (who *can* sing) has been cast as the Wizard in the upcoming Wicked movie.

[@dj_410]

Ohhhh can't wait to see that!!!

[@kimberleyharvey8175]

I have been impatiently waiting for you to get to this one, and your reaction was exactly what I expected. :) One thing you need to sneak onto your VP list sooner rather than later is Just Sing. It was done about 2 months into the US pandemic lockdown as a benefit, and is a collection of almost all the featured artists and past VP members. When you do watch it, definitely have the captions on!

[@dj_410]

Yes! This one is coming very soon!!!

[@IowaDad81]

Voiceplay hasn't covered Seasons of Love (as far as I know, anyway), but Pentatonix has. It is FANTASTIC.

[@christinestromberg4057]

Emoni Wilkins has worked with VP a few times: The Bones, Can't believe it, (Bubble-yum Bum) And this one . I believe that Rachel has appeared in Wicked but not in this role. did you catch that cute look Cesar gave Geoff wheb singing Because I knew you? I can't remember whether you've done their Greatest Showman. It's another stonker.

[@Wildecat10]

And Just Sing, of course.

[@alexwalker8440]

Emoni was with them in the Sing-Off tour (not the show), so there are some live performances with her. Another one I love w/her is I Love Me. 😍😍

[@janetdw]

And I always wonder if his “kill the witch” and then looking over at Geoff is a secret joke with him since he was Ursula in Little Mermaid.

[@dj_410]

I want to do Greatest Showman SOOOOO bad!!! another of my FAV musicals!! Saw it 6 times at the movies!!!

[@davidkreacts]

Glad you got such a kick out of this one! A truly masterful arrangement. Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. I also appear to be the one person who enjoys Wonderful, but ah well… 😂 This was my first reaction, and I still have a blast watching others have that same experience!

[@patriciaschuman4205]

Oh, yes! This was already one of my favorite VP medleys, but I also still distinctly remember last October when I was on vacation and while looking for VP reactions came across your video being recommended, David. It's always fun to see anyone get blown away by that first time hearing/seeing VoicePlay, but it was extra enjoyable for it to be a lengthy reaction/analysis done by someone with actual music and musical theater experience. It was great to have someone with your background really appreciate and explain what was particularly wonderful about the arrangement and performance.

[@jammiegirl74]

@davidkreacts your reaction to this song is still my favourite but Dillons is now second for best reactions to wicked. The emotion, excitement and feeling you both showed is still the best to watch ❤

[@dj_410]

Omg i cant wait to watch your reaction now!! I love your videos! I think wonderful might be an okay song, I've just heard bad people perform it haha

[@Maerahn]

Lol, Cesar has more natural sass than most people could even know what to do with. 😄 And if I were to nominate Emoni for a musical, it would be a lesser-known one called 'Smoky Joe's Cafe.' It incorporates songs from Leiber and Stoller's catalogue (so includes bangers like 'Pearl's A Singer,' 'Some Cats Know,' 'Poison Ivy' and 'Stand By Me,') and she would totally SLAY in pretty much any of the female roles!

[@dj_410]

ohhh i dont know that one!!!

[@nicolaidavi495]

The way you jump when Geoff goes low during "Wonderful". I'm dying. I absolutely live for folk's reaction to Geoff and you are indeed delivering. :D

[@thisismetoday7423]

Have you reacted to Sing yet? Emoni is in that along with many others. You need the subtitles on that one.❤

[@dj_410]

Very Very soon :)

[@theironherder]

I've never been disappointed in any of the host's reactions, but his reactions to songs that he knows and loves are a world apart. Like his reaction to "Ain't goin' down 'til the sun comes up", and his reaction here. Thanks, and keep 'em coming. And when you can, please react to songs that you already love.

[@dj_410]

Thank you so so much!

[@lkayh]

Let’s face it: Geoff could sing the phone book and you and I would be there for it. Also, Cesar could sing the phone book and make it sound sultry. Just saying. LOL.

[@AudreyStar17]

#Facts lol

[@dj_410]

Cesar could sing the pants off a phonebook and phonebooks cant even wear pants!

[@pennywilliams186]

I really love Emoni with VP in I Love Me. Hardly anyone ever reacts to that one, and it really deserves some love.

[@shirleykarr560]

Agreed! And it has Tony, who I still miss. I know he's there at Pattycake but it's not the same as hearing him sing.

[@dj_410]

Will defiantly make a point to check it out! :D

[@DnDAddictUK]

PURE JOY! I could see your musical theatre self vibing so much with this one. There are no bad songs in the Wicked soundtrack, but as always VP managed to do something special. Thank you Annie for getting this one in so early for us all. DJ, please do not stop being you. The energy that you put out there is worth everything! #DJsHerd #DJantlers

[@dj_410]

AWWWWW Sarah!

[@sallymaria]

Emoni is an on-going friend of VoicePlay and Home Free from when she performed with them on the Sing-Off tour - she was part of the group that came second, and joined VP when Honey, who was in the competition with them, wasn't able to tour. I love her performance of The Bones with VP.

[@dj_410]

Thats so lovely, I love how supportive the Aca-Community is!!!!

[@Wa_pox]

I was constantly just going "Yup.. yup.. yup" To every outburst of joy :D Great reaction and an incredible cover! Love it

[@dj_410]

Every time I thought it couldn't get better, it did!!!

[@rmdewberry2482]

The best medley Geoff has ever arranged!

[@dj_410]

Totally amazing! but how can you pick just one haahhaha

[@itsdoroti]

This is in my personal top 5 of all the stuff Voiceplay has ever done

[@risperdude]

How can you pick a Top 5?

[@itsdoroti]

@@risperdude It's hard 🤣 but this one is definitely up there

[@dj_410]

It was absolutely amazing!!! Defiantly one I can hear over and over!!!

[@sharonmortimer3843]

Emoni actually was on the Sing Off the same season as them and Home Free. She actually went on the Sing Off with Voiceplay because Honey Larochelle didn't or couldn't go. Enjoyed watching your reaction.

[@Xonslaught1]

Wow, shots fired at James Corden 😜

[@dj_410]

He is a fun Tv host, but I don't think any musical has ever benefited from having him in it :/ but that's just my opinion, no hate to those who love him :)

[@jimcoogan1529]

Rachel was actually in the roadshow of Wicked. She is phenomenal.

[@dj_410]

Wish I could have seen that!!!

[@joyvanderveer2282]

Rachel would make an Incredible Elphaba. I would so pay to see that!!! Both of these ladies have their own personal style, and yet, when they blend their voices, they go to a whole new level of amazing. This is one of my favorite Broadway musicals of the last 20 years or so, if for no other reason than the music that it sent out into the world to challenge singers with. WOW!!! Voiceplay nailed it again!

[@dj_410]

Voiceplay can do no wrong and you are 100% right, the songs in this one are next level!!

[@Athainian1973]

Love this musical. My favorite musical of all time is Phantom, however I love the songs from Hair and cringe, Rocky Horror Picture Show. Nothing like seeing John Travolta in drag swinging about being a Sweet Transvestite from Transavia.

So DJ...fellow Rent fan here as well. Had the honor to meet Jesse L. Martin who played Tom Collins in the original Broadway play and the movie as well. Such an amazing actor and so kind. I would pay to hear VoicePlay do a version of La Vie Boheme...that would be a rocker! They probably wouldn't but could you imagine. Hell I want them to do a Six medley for giggles lol

She was. She was with the group Ten. 🙂

[@dj_410]

I really need to watch Sing Off :)

[@Debs_Badger]

@@dj_410 I'm always an advocate for that. 🙂 I recently rewatched the entire season 4 myself (it's how I first discovered VoicePlay and Home Free when the show originally aired). *However* , recognize that the show was *10 years ago* . Both VoicePlay and Home Free have grown tremendously in that time, and it does them both a disservice when people compare then's version against today's.

I wanna hear them do a Sound of Music medley. Except I don't, because then I'd want full versions of several of the songs, and there's no way they'd find the time for all of that.

Hahahaha yessss I so want that and then I want it to finish in a way that blends perfectly into this one! hahaha

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

@@dj_410 Yeah, I've got a whole list of stuff they should do. Another one is, a mashup of When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Johnny B Goode, and Who's Johnny (the song from Short Circuit). Or, taking things in a completely different direction, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Whichever. And I *desperately* want Geoff to do a version of The Truck Drivin' Song on his solo channel.

[@richardfranz3180]

Don't hate me because I love Voice Play and all of their arrangements, productions, and and voices they draft for said productions. However, the best individual rendition I have found of "Defying Gravity" is the Stages Sessions version from Morissette Amon and the Pentatonix version of "Seasons of Love"(by far Kirstie's best, imho).

[@dj_410]

I will need to check those out!

[@wesleylatham3913]

I have to say, while I can understand the opinion "James Corden can't sing" I don't believe that James cannot sing in reality. I believe he purposefully embellishes and overplays himself, in much the same way Josh Gad does, for mere comedic relief. I mean you could almost throw Nathan Lane in there as well. All wonderfully talented singers, but they tend to over perform and sing in a comedic style rather than take themselves too seriously. It's kind of their mark or brand. As I said though I understand, as I do tend to get annoyed at seeing James' overdramatized style whether it be on the Late Late show, Into the Woods, or Cats. He plays the same character, sings in the same flat tone, and the joke gets old really quick. But I know that some of it may not be his choice rather the choice of those behind the scenes asking for that type of character.

[@dj_410]

Very true and absolutely no hate to anyone who loves him! I just don't vibe with him and don't think he was the best choice for those roles :)

[@lisamitchell1714]
