[@jpeach250]

strawie I mean it’s not like it’s any less confusing after you watch it

[@JasmineLuck]

lmfaoo this part had me crying laughing during the video

[@lucys7024]

Am I the only one who thinks it's so cool that people like Erika can just say "I'm on my way to work" when their work is being a lead in a freakin Broadway show!!!????

[@ValpCreates]

No, I think so too

[@amelia6129]

In the girls dressing room, they’re all wearing wig caps, in the boys dressing room, they’re all not wearing clothes.

[@emmyruegg5596]

[@kay049]

literally during almost the entire blue couch segment kyle was just staring into the camera with this smile/look on his face. i loved it so much. he is probably my favorite.

[@laceyjack1421]

I have a question for Ben Cook. It's why are so you beautiful and talented

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I love how they're all a huge family.

[@user-oq6ol5fi2w]

question to any of the ex newsies: is it more fun for you to do a show with intense hard dancing like newsies, or one with more traditional choreography like mean girls?

[@TheDiaryOfBella]

If you like headaches the The hard stuff if not then mean girls but both are fun

[@aLLi10]

The whole 'bathos' bit killed me LOL

[@rachelb5415]

[@isabellayow8901]

these videos are the highlight of my week

[@ChrisPurser]

Saw the show tonight in Ft. Laud. I have to say I wasn’t all that interested at first. I was seeing it with my son and daughter (and wife). I was sort of tagging along. But I was really impressed and very much enjoyed the show. Lots of talent both on stage and off, bring this show to life in a way that surprised me. Thanks for sharing that with us!

[@stevephanOfficial]

THESE EPISODES DONT LAST LONG ENOUGH

[@notinurpocket]

YOURE SO PRECIOUS !!

[@meluuunia6949]

I love how during Little Blue Couch Ben looks extremely excited but also confused

[@sophieshore4299]

Now I know I broke my leg 3 weeks ago (on wed) I look foreword to these because it is sorta like a countdown to my leg healing

[@jaxen8639]

anyone ever gonna end up talking to Barrett about her being uh idk Veronica in Heathers

[@somerandomnothings]

Not really, a lot of people got annoyed when people would bring it up

[@sarahbearah6297]

@@somerandomnothings But why though? Are they annoyed she got that role? I just don't understand.

[@somerandomnothings]

@@sarahbearah6297 they just get annoyed that people are bringing up another role instead of talking about the role she's playing now, because they want to bring spotlight to her new role. Idk what if that's what I was thinking when I posted this cause I posted that a while ago and I'm not into musicals much anymore.

[@tananario]

What for? Look at a calendar. Time to move on.

[@cailynw7444]

I'm binging this, and all I can say is I'm obsessed with the cast

[@reaganbramlish5858]

This video has been the best part of my day!! And that's saying a lot because today I found a super cute pink velvet dress for prom 🤗

[@shealyny9489]

Can we just take a moment to realize how Erika just nonchalantly passes the burn book at 10:49

[@sofiapereira6592]

The little blue couch is my favorite part of this series😂

[@cassandrarose5369]

I'm really in love with the fact that one of Grey's costume pieces has Bianca Del Rio on it. It made my day!

[@stimeymcdungal9073]

Ok, i don’t think anyone sees these anymore but...My two favorite people on Earth are Kerry Butler and Barret Wilbert Weed, Once I found out they share the same dressing room, my life was complete for so many reasons. That dressing room brings me so much happiness to see my two favorite people ever in there. I wish I could meet them! I love you girls! (that dressing room is a little box of perfection)

[@samtocke8794]

BEN TYLER COOK!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t know he was in this?!?!?

[@TheiPodTuch]

Barrett 😍

[@dottie9647]

I’ve gotta say I really love this whole cast, but Barrett and Gray really hold a special part in my heart.

[@nicolemarie9551]

I’m just so happy these exist

[@mallorypersephonebby]

i was rewatching this and i realized that when taylor was signing that thing barrett was screaming in pain in the background 💁‍♀️

I JUST LOVE THIS OBC. Erika and Taylor are superstars.

[@ITZJUSTTOMMY]

Love for the Bianca Del Rio poster in the background of Little blue couch!!!

[@jamiehood850]

I want to be a Broadway actor, and I've been trying to get over some body confidence issues recently. I'm super slender in build, but all of the guys in the show seem so built and muscly. I really feel like I need to work out, but I'm only 15 and I'm still growing...

[@livparkinson2939]

Jamie Hood please don’t worry about your body just remember you will grow and your body will change or if you want to loose weight which I doubt you need to please do it in the healthiest way and don’t start to have a toxic relationship with food or your body like people say if it’s meant to be then it’s meant to be

[@jamiehood850]

Olivia Parkinson thanks so much for saying that. It means so much to me. I just did my second workout session with my dad and brother's trainer. It hurt a lot, but a lot of people have been really nice to me lately in the show I was in, and it's really made me happy. I guess I have to remember there are really nice people everywhere who care about me, and that should be enough for me.

[@reaganbramlish5858]

I see a tony nomination for best set design in your future!!!!
