[@juliacleary8427]

"how do you like life?" "medium rare"

[@scottstephen3697]

When Emma said "It's pronounced Pfafelle" she sounded so much like Veruca!

[@kingsleybryant2632]

I know I am kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?

[@randyelliott2494]

@Kingsley Bryant lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@caril.9384]

[@Amydixon08]

"You can't get any younger, it's not possible yet" YET! This kid has plans!!!! amazing!

[@kamango25]

His son is the cutest! Love the talk! So very important.

[@andystewart4346]

Sometimes I forget that Mike is actually older than I think, at first I thought Hunter was his brother or something 😂

[@the_king_crow7158]

As of now he's like 43

[@fluffyhales]

@@the_king_crow7158 dude, he's 31

[@caton_andrew]

Joshua Abbott Pafeffel is amazing!

[@mickytherat8020]

I'm sorry, but I legally can't like it as it is at 69 likes. Hope you understand

[@weegee1204]

Your son is so precious. Love him and you :D

[@MsWickedWolf]

The message at the end was so deep

[@Midnight_luan]

his son is sooo cute

[@cianor]

"You can't get any younger just yet" hahahahaha!!!!

[@littlestrngeunusual]

This is probably my favorite episode so far. Wonderful talk, Mike.

[@tristanfeddersen6778]

I love this series!!! Oh and please do a backstage tour!!!

[@emilyalworth5460]

Super Hunter!! I was waiting for him to make a cameo in the vlogs!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brainrotbanana]

These episodes just keep getting better!!!

[@johannahomlong6322]

0:33 Mike: wHo CaReS eMmA!! Had me wheezing

[@cowboy8494]

what a cute little kid!

[@kcorona7715]

MIKE AND HIS SON ARE SO CUTE I WANN CRY

[@mischelisa]

Honestly, this vlog could've just been Mike and his son and I would've been totally content with that, cutest thing ever

[@bellelover101]

I honestly just watch these for Jackie, she is a delight

[@hope_vega5823]

I am sad because I got to know the musical 2 years later from when it went out, and I had been thinking of joining a theatre company, so Mike's words helped me a lot. Thank you so much. 💖

[@giannagraziano7545]

He neeeds to interview Christian!

[@madebykayla5098]

Amd he should totally do a book nook like in Something Rotten

[@benlutostanski7755]

I'm not sure if it'll happen, because Christian is constantly on stage either as Wonka or the candy shop owner. He only has a couple of free scenes.

[@Andres.bh04]

Truly inspiring episode and helpful advice! I knew I Michael had something inspiring in him once I found out about him and his career

This is my favorite episode so far, and I have enjoyed them all. Very heartfelt ending message.

[@ramonolivas7640]

Inspiring words at the end. I really needed to hear that. Thank you Mike

[@hunter8749]

2:55 It's Granny!!!

[@jillianbean281]

He is such a delight honestly.

[@lizzytucker]

i love mike! i love this series! i got to meet him at stage door and he's literally the sweetest person!

[@eekaboo8012]

Augustus Gloop plays Splatoon 😂

[@Magitroopa]

Splatoon is the best (Especially Splatoon 2!)

[@oliviahanson607]

I've been watching these to pass the time because as an actor myself, I quite enjoy these backstage videos. But that "serious moment" was so incredibly heartfelt and eloquent, and on behalf of all actors currently working in the theater scene in NYC, I just want to say thank you :)

[@agreenpar]

Omg his son is so adorable. I’m gonna cry.

[@spacetrashpile7199]

6:31 OH MY GOD There is what I assume is a Mike Teevee doll in the mirror and it's terrifying!

[@g0d.loves.y0u]

As someone who's really interested and would like, kill to see a Broadway show. I really appreciate the little talk about how it works and how much work you guys have put into this. It's really amazing to me how all this works and how much fun and love you guys have. I really wanted to be a choreographer, but now I think I actually wanna go into theatre. Like Ben in the first or second episode, I really wanted to be a doctor, and who knows, I might change my mind again. Thanks for sharing, Mike! I find it so funny that he has the same name as his character 😂.

[@andreasantiago4887]

i teared up a bit in the talk. thanks for the advice Mike.

[@abbymurphy3536]

Who else dropped everything they were doing to watch this😂

[@noicecream2335]

Murphy 101 me too

[@broadwaylife5526]

I did😂

[@c.w.r.794]

Murphy 101 I was busy meeting Christine Eborsole so, yeah.... Christine takes all priority.

[@ashleyr9216]

I was going to go to bed, but theatre vlogs are more important lol

[@uglyteenageboy97]

HUNTER IS SO ADORABLE AHHH

[@lovealwayszoe]

Michael, I'm sure you won't see this but ll write it anyway. I'm a 17 year old girl from Australia. Performing is all i have ever wanted to do, I'm about to start audition for universities and drama school soon and your pep talk was just what i needed. thank you from the bottom of my heart and keep doing what youre doing you are amazing!

[@jacobehlers]

I had breakfast while watching this, and I almost choked in the start with the "WHO CARES EMMA!"

[@uglyteenageboy97]

Everyone will be talking about wanting Christian (I'm assuming he's not in it) and I'm like EMMA AND MIKE ARE GREAT THEYRE ALL I NEED theatre fam follow me on Insta @greylovestheatre bc I love theatre accounts

[@heathert9900]

VidsByAlice i just want to hear him yell "BOOK NOOK"

[@c.w.r.794]

VidsByAlice Emma Pafeffel!

[@williamalverio9294]

I immediately watched it when I saw it. Saw y'all yesterday!! Y'all did amazing and I loved Miss Madeleine!!

[@mikayladixon2550]

Wow thank you mike for making me cry at your whole spiel

[@jamiehood850]

When I saw the thumbnail, Hunter actually reminded me of the original Mike Teavee from London. But when I saw him up close, I realized he's way more adorable than the original.

[@calliepgirl]

You know I really wanted Christian in one of these but I'm gonna assume that he doesn't want to be involved or he's got to much going on to be apart or that they're waiting until the last episode to put him in but either way it's okay by me because these vlogs are good with or without Christian.

[@hannahf1418]

XXCallie PayneXX or they're saving him for last. also, I think this is going on during the show ans christian is always on stage

[@jonicebernard]

Really needed to hear that today💕💕

[@Precieusemjp]

the little boy hunter goes to my school hes like the first friend i made when i first went to the schhol hes an awsome kid

[@jarrod662]

Watching from Australia, I've seen the Show in Brisbane twice now, and I'm seeing it a Third time on the 9th October, Closing Show. I love it.

[@Pandahluvr]

"You can't get any younger, it's not possible yet!" Yet? YET!?!??!

[@peytonjohns6196]

"How do you like life?" "Uh medium rare?"

[@anjali1370]

I just went today!! I actually went to the cast door where they come out and I met Veruca and Mike and they were both so nice!❤❤

[@NRFpink]

It's scary how alike you look

[@jenallison7286]

Love the vlogs

[@MABACTS]

Love the message!

[@charyshranieri6710]

I appreciated Mike's motivation speech

[@javierdelarosa519]

Laughed at the swearing Like Cathy says ANYTHING FOR A LAUGH

[@hamiltonlover3429]

Aww hes soon is so cute

[@ciriefields1599]

anyone else crying that there is no Crawdaddy in this episode or the last?

[@JuliaT1DRunner]

Where did the Deliver Challenge go :-P

[@slickersrantsandrandomness3323]

EMMA IS MY QUEEN

[@dinosaurrawr845]

I need a cast for these videos, I keep clicking so hard I'm breaking my thumb

[@maiajoy3957]

borrow one from dear evan hansen

[@dinosaurrawr845]

maia joy can't even get tickets for the show, and now you're making me ask for his cast? tsk tsk tsk

[@AlexTheCrayChick]

it took me the longest time to realize you were talking about a cast like one you get when you break your arm and not a cast like a group of performers lmao

[@CarlieMae]

I'm lucky to have a good theatre program in my area! I have loved singing and performing since I was very young and it's become something I'm very passionate about. I want to be on Broadway, if only once, but I worry about not being able to have the security of a steady income. I really want to do this, but what if I end up not being good enough to get a job? That's usually my main concern.

[@lukethomas658]

1. Super cute kid. 2. Love the Fued reference. 3. If Christian hasn't appeared yet, I suspect it has more to do with Christian than Mike. Patti Lupone and Christine Ebersole are all over the War Paint vlog and they're onstage constantly. 4. Great message! My friends gave me such a hard time when I figured out in college theatre was not my vocation.

[@SNSFarms2019]

Mike teavee is awesome in Charlie and the chocolate factory

[@emilym.1755]

What on earth is in the background in the mirror around 5:50 during your serious moment????? Next to the back of your head in the mirror

[@savannahkemper5509]

Emily M. Probably his son.

[@nycot107]

People to theatre actors: "Oh I bet you get some really big and fancy dress rooms" Theatre actors = laugh hysterically

[@Magitroopa]

F. Michael Haynie has a Nintendo Switch? AND Splatoon 2???? I officially love him so much more!!!! Nintendo is definitely the best gaming company.

[@meganr4059]

Magitroopa When I found out he had a nintendo switch i was like BOII WHAT?!

[@josephgrizzetti8891]

I’m so mad I never got to see this show

[@aprilvidal6542]

I this is actually hunter in 2019 using my mom's account and thank u for being nice in the comments super Hunter out

[@hannahf1418]

who agrees Michael would be an awesome best friend?

[@silverfruh3453]

"how do u like life" "uhhh, medium rare"

[@cryptiecreep]

He is the best dad and the best human.

[@ashleyr9216]

You should give us more of an inside look of the tech side of your show! That's my passion and what I've been doing for six years in community theatre and I'd love to see the difference in a more large scale professional production.

[@nathanrimalovski8742]

in the part where u were talking to F. Michael Haney, was the show going on during that part

[@AliceAndWonderLD18]

Emma is the best and Amazing!! Love Her 💖s

[@connorpowers4193]

[@lightninglarrylucian0]

Jackie Hoffman is a gem

[@Annicamd]

The fact that Mike has a kid I literally thought he was like 20

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I think he is like 28 in these videos. Maybe 30?

The puppet in the mirror is me

Im applying for disability so I can't do acting for a living. I WANT TO ACT, I volunteer in a local live theater. That may be as far as I can, I accept that. I have only done things backstage, I have auditioned for years. I love love my "Job". I accept I can't make money off it, its just the experiences I get that matter.

[@clarinetangel99]
