Big Fun- Heathers (Off-Broadway and West End Comparison)

[@hannah_opal]

Some things really didnt need to be changed lmao 😭😭

[@KivoThefirst]

Yeah like in shine a light reprise they changed the candy store reference(

[@soap-plant-guy]

I didn't know until seeing this video that Veronica sings "Bono at LiveAid." All these years I thought she was singing "bottled up limeaid" XD

[@messilymoonlit]

honestly i thought the same thing for years

[@kokonafriedchicken9031]

the instrumentals together sound so cool

[@ZidaneKiano]

Why does Ram sounds so flirty in the west end version? Lmao

[@danimartinezmunoz460]

Off Broadway supremacy

[@the_knight_grassman]

YESSSS

West end is very much British humor

[@Coolest_Ade]

I love this series so much, I've been waiting for someone to make one of these for so long lol

[@they.fw.paris4ever]

For some reason i like the west end beggining better "Nananananananana!"

[@your.local.theaterkid]

the only good thing about the west end version of heathers is i say no

[@heatherchandlerr]

ehh. you're welcome is a good message + goes hard

[@razzyberry1]

@@heatherchandlerrand i will never shut up again

[@forrest6939]

i think it doesnt fit as well because heather dukes whole thing was the fact that she literally is a no one and doesnt even get a song even the teacher gets a song but not her

[@your.local.theaterkid]

@@forrest6939 yeah i don’t like heather d’s song either

[@tuba8923]

I couldn't agree more

[@asta7752]

Im sorry but OB is just better in every way Possible.

[@Still_an_idiot]

I still believe that the lyrics were all a big misunderstanding and the people who wrote them just thought that they said another thing /j

[@ilumistar_]

I LOVE THIS SERIES ‼️‼️ :D + i read the description :]

[@Hamilton-TheMusical]

I read the descriptions sometimes

[@Heartbreak_Swift]

I prefer the “you’re a natural, just like my mom!”

[@ojamajoteafan]

Dead gurll walkingggg plsss

[@idgafaiwkmsnolm]

Love west end

[@Ch3zzIts]

i love all the cast but i prefer OB

[@datrandomdugggy5537]

i honestly think the west end version is better it basically every way.

[@foxver24]

Why did west-end cut out a whole section???

[@messilymoonlit]

i have a lot of theories about why they did this, but a lot of them tie into changes made in other songs, and typing them out resulted in a really long paragraph of text ^^; i'm planning on making a video essay on this exact thing-- either after the rest of the songs are done or when we hit "Blue"/"You're Welcome" depending on what people want to see first-- but the short version of it that there aren't any actual confirmed/concrete answers, as far as i'm aware

[@Mrs.Magix58]

cause the West End version is complete trash

[@raiqain]

maybe cuz of the part where kurt or ram (i forgot which one) starts like touching heather duke

[@Goose_notfound]

​@Dualis58 as a brit I take offense to that /j

[@clary98]

As someone who as only listened to the West End version, the OB sound “weird” to me, idk maybe because I’m used to one

[@Hamilton-TheMusical]

Yesss my favorite sonnggg😊

[@Heartbreak_Swift]

I would prefer the west end lyrics but with the off broadway vocals

[@juniiizpsr]

why did they cut out the heather duke and ram thing in off-bway lmaoo

[@officalearth]

og is better ngl.

[@celphony]

some of the lines are so stiff and dry in west end ;-; 2:57 3:23

[@jayomato]

2:44 🤚🫱🤚🫱🤚🫱🤚🫱L

[@serenitythesiren5031]

Prefer the West End lyrics, but I found off-Broadway catchier.

[@taylorbaker7247]

Wes tend version is so trash lmao. off broadway for the win. west end just sounds like a worse children's version sometimes

[@TicTac27]

[@sandramahermurphy]

In the cast recording it doesn’t sound the best as some were sick but it’s 1000X better live

[@Buttercupcharadreamy]

Still the people performing it tried their best, you need to understand they can’t all be the same

[@echoflowernotundertale]

these song comparisons feel so fresh compared to other things on the ‘tube. I’m curious if you will do any different musicals after Heathers! I would love a Falsettos series!!

[@messilymoonlit]

thank you for the compliment! i'm glad you're enjoying these videos!! the short answer is: i'm not too sure if i will make any for other musicals, mostly because i'm not too familiar with a lot of other musicals having different versions in the same way Heathers does the long answer is: the reason i'm making these comparisons is actually kind of specific, so i'm not sure if i'll make any more after i'm done with Heathers. A couple months ago i relistened to it for the first time in 6/7 years, and I ended up talking to my roommates about it and finding out that while i and one of my two roommates were more familiar with the Off-Broadway version, my other roommate was more familiar with the West End version. None of us were aware of just how many changes there are between the two, so we ended up comparing some of the songs. i was curious to find every single change i could, so i started making these and figured i'd upload them just in case anyone else was interested in their differences like i am :P looking into it now, though, the changes in Falsettos and their reasons are FASCINATING so i might go for it if more people express interest!

i was only able to watch the west end version bc i couldnt find another place, does anyone know where to find the broadway version

[@ELeininger]

KZbin and Spotify

[@ELeininger]

KZbin

[@xgeorgia333]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn-4ZH95qdN7acUsi=Qx_sdEWMtxGnP6IS is the broadway version :)

[@LiamLjung-r9f]

Rams line in the west end version is so fucking bland it almost hurts to hear. Like ik hes supposed to seem drunk but it just sounds like someone not having any energy and reading something ironically, really disappointing

[@picklle]

yippee yippee yippee !!!

[@da3toed_sloth]

r u gonna do the reprises too or just the songs?

[@messilymoonlit]

i’m hoping to also do the reprises and the songs that aren’t on cast recordings!! one of my personal favorite Heathers songs is actually “Prom or Hell” :]
