Bandstand the Musical

The fact that Corey didn't even get a nomination still floors me

[@adriankirby1311]

This whole freaking show is criminally underrated, but that in particular makes me so mad! His performance is too amazing for words, and it makes me sad that so many people, even in the theater community, have and will never experience it because the show never got the hype it deserved.

[@theatrain1323]

@@adriankirby1311 Christopher Isherwood in his review called it "the breakout performance of the year." Unfortunately, that review was published in Broadway News and not New York Times, which Isherwood had only recently left.

@@theatrain1323 Oh wow, that's interesting! It's such a shame that this show didn't get the recognition it deserves.

listen, I'm a theater kid, through and through. I've watched this version of Bandstand probably over a dozen times. it's the only musical that continues to elicit the same emotional response in me each time I watch. this is my favorite musical and it's gonna take a lot to top this one. I love it. bandstand was robbed and I will stand by that forever.

[@theatrain1323]

Bandstand was the last of 12 musicals that debuted that year and was clearly inferior to the corny Hello Dolly which featured Bette Midler broadly playing herself and the undecipherable and sleep inducing The Band Played. Yeah, Katrina Lenk was good, but Bandstand was a real musical with singing and dancing while The Band was not even a real musical.

I saw this twice in theaters, and it’s still one of my favorite musicals!

How have I never heard of this till now. Came to watch "Right This Way" and, geebus how did he not spit his guts out, or blow a blood vessel is beyond me. THAT was a PERFORMANCE!

This is OUTSTANDING!!!! One of the BEST SHOWS!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@adriankirby1311]

Just in case anyone was wondering, I still haven't gotten over "the craziness of, the reality of, the necessity of being madly in love with you." I dream about the note he sings on "love."

[@pukipanduqui386]

God!! Corey is an amazing actor!! Even at the beginning of "right this way" scene his arms are shaking!! That kind of detail in his acting makes me love him even more!!

[@mckenzie8196]

Laura really likes this time period of early 1900s

[@alisonmirani2114]

30s, 40s, and 50s!

[@hopoffmydick9574]

just found out that unfortunately jimmy's coming out scene is cut out of the proshot. It's a damn shame, it added important insight into Jimmy's character and queer soldier rep was very impactful. Regardless, this show is phenomenal, and deserved much more hype when it was on Broadway

[@kurtislawler984]

This makes me even more sad that I never went to see the actual show.

[@kbye2321]

I can’t seem to find ANYTHING about Jimmy coming out. Do you think there are stuff out there that you can point me too because I can’t find anything about this online!! This show is already criminally underrated. I NEED TO KNOW UGHHHH!!

[@myhopeyourhopej-hope9913]

@@kbye2321 I don't think that version has been posted, but I have seen it and can confirm it is true.

[@myhopeyourhopej-hope9913]

it wasn't in the proshot because they cut it out of the broadway version but i have the off broadway version saved

[@risipieces]

@@kbye2321 there’s a recording of the off-broadway (maybe very early broadway?) version on youtube somewhere!

[@tristanberry5920]

1:14:05 - 1:14:33 this whole section is beautiful.

[@patriciabreitwieser2391]

I love this show. Saw it on Broadway 3 times and the movie theater showing as well. Thx for posting. As a prior military member they told such a beautiful story of the soldiers and families in 1940s. Wish they would let us buy it in DVD as would watch it throughout the year.

[@JulieSomeone]

thank you for posting this.... for entertainment purposes only. i'm like watching it on repeat... saw it multiple times on Broadway....then in the movie theaters.... and the BANDSTAND CD, is literally still in the CD/DVD player on this laptop.

Corey during Right This Way 😭😭😢😢

[@emmabrammer2027]

Reviewing this musical for my theater appreciation class and Corey Cott's performance is absolutely outstanding.

[@iitsspicy5643]
