Okay, anyone who wants a career in musical theatre OBVIOUSLY needs to attend this school. Absolutely SENSATIONAL!!!

[@brittanymale9481]

Brittany male hi ok

[@jamesosullivan6055]

He’s on Broadway now. The lead. He’s in Beetlejuice. I just recognized him off of Tiktok.

[@DocRunaway]

Well deserved.

[@Hal10034]

Wow. I was wondering if he went into show business

[@bohemelavie1]

Man... My high school didn't have this many guys who were happy to dance in front of everyone let alone be actually decent at it... How did this school luck out with so many?

[@Nehmi]

Right?!?!

[@ElleCee62978]

When you are an all boys school with the chance to hang out with girls from the local girls school for 4+ months…

[@dwhit110b]

When the end product looks like this, kids want to do it!

[@HjmkkoUhhhnmk-yv3xq]

Very invested theater kids.

[@lynndenault4212]

Likely a school drawing theatre students

[@rampo]

Good Lord, this is a HIGH SCHOOL production??? Fantastic job!!

[@NoirFan01]

IKR?! I do not know how this video got into my KZbin suggestions. But, bravo! Can’t believe this is a high school production. It is better than some professional performances I have seen.

[@alycevollmar5155]

Geez, where is this, New Trier in Winnetka?

[@jeromedavis8146]

They did the Broadway choreography!!! Very clever little tweaks to accommodate the young cast! The lead young man was wonderful. His movements always full out with such energy. The chorus sounded great all while moving and jumping in this wonderful dance. Is this what high school productions are today? Wow

[@kaylajohnson4867]

imagine having such a large amount of men in a high school ensemble!!

[@s.i2799]

This is 2023 here and I just found this gem of a video...but....I refuse to believe its a High School production..seriously its right up there with the broadway one!! These students are amaaaaazing..I mean the acting, singing and dancing..OMG..just incredible. I hope they all get to work in the entertainment industry cause they sure are talented..special mention of course to the lead..just loved, loved, loved the whole production...the parents must be so damn proud!!!

[@pinarkaratas6351]

My god!!! This cant be a high school, it is broadway❤❤❤❤❤

[@russwarren2516]

This is why we need to support arts funding in schools!

[@petrospapa-adams3179]

I can't stop watching the moment he flips into the climax of the song ... phenomenal performance!

[@Dajave11]

how on earth are you able to pull off the Broadway dance moves at high school age?

[@oliverdelica2289]

Dajave11 yeah you're right. But they're singing needs work

[@disgruntledcashier503]

Most of it looks traced from Rob Ashford’s 2011 choreography

[@independentfilmchannel1476]

@@disgruntledcashier503 Hardly a relevant point since choreography moves are copyrighted and used over and over again along with the show.

[@damienwatteau3187]

Holy smokes !!!!!!!! This is outstanding! Kids, most sincere congratulations. From the spectators point of you, this is almost as good as broadway! Not kidding. Use the same heart and mind energy in life for yourself and others. :. /G\

[@richarddeleon8601]

Hopefully everyone is now on Broadway or living the good life! You are all great.

[@annepoyner499]

The lead, Sean McManus, graduated from BOCO, toured with CATS, then was cast in the Broadway Beetlejuice. He is currently in the Beetlejuice tour.

[@christophercarter9036]

Legitimately, one of the most impressive, professional high school numbers I've seen performed. Great job!

[@MrEternityroad]

Spot-on! I want to follow the lead lad's career because IMHO he is going places!

[@PowerDiva]

He's on Broadway now. :)

[@joycemelton2980]

Amazing heart and energy, talent and professionalism. Watch the faces, these kids are not only singing and dancing, they are acting! And they're just as good at that as at the other two.

[@showtunestarpower]

This is not a typical high school production. I just compared this version of the number to the Broadway cast and I have to tell you that this version is JUST as effective. The young man who plays the lead is, I hope, getting ready to star in a production of DEAR EVAN HANSEN. The dancing throughout is totally tight, athletic, and charismatic. The choreographer wisely used some ideas from the original choreography and then added her/his own.

[@ericfluellen8957]

The difference between this high school and other high schools that performed this musical is that this group of performers believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were great, and other schools tried to be great. The energy that these performers gave to the audience was beyond measure, and the audience, in turn, gave it right back.

[@xxobrittanyg]

The fact that this is HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!! 😱😱😱

[@gjm1953]

Well, that was spectacular! I've read comments on this video stating how great this was "for a high school". I've seen this show done in professional regional theatre. This number takes second place to NO ONE! Well done, Summit HS!

[@cb_2887]

Great job to everyone on stage! The dedication to the performance and the clean vocals while dancing does not sound shaky. Vocal control spot on! When I was in HS, this number would only have about 5 guys on stage. Nice to see young men performing on stage in a HS level and doing well. Congrats!

[@petemichael4512]

I come back time and again to watch this. These young men and 1 girl put everything they have in this one number. I applaud you all for this wonderful achievement. It always lifts me up. thank you.

[@nobodyinterviews]

Same! I watch this now and again, just...because.

[@4021971]

At first I saw this was a high school production and was going to pass on it. Glad I didn't. This was amazing. Great job kids.

[@joehege9334]

I am impressed these high school performers were able to recreate the choreography that was used in the Revival with Daniel Radcliffe. This was a high school in New Jersey.

[@grahamd7664]

Having this many boys in a high school theatre program is amazing in and of itself

[@thangvuong9196]

The lead is incredible!

[@rickyriez17]

The lead is incredible talent.. 😍😍😍 best singer, best dancer, best energy.

[@abcbabyyyyy]

I used to compete in National Speech and Debate Honor Society competitions around the state of NJ with the lead, he is extremely talented! Summit is known for extremely talented theatre people (aka Meryl Streep, but she did not attend Summit HS).

[@RLPHEarthshepherd]

I want to meet the teachers and staff who directed this cast. Bravi ALL!!!! I am a firm believer that young actors rise to your highest expectations given half a chance and a little faith. .

[@scarffster]

One of my favorite Broadway songs. I've watched hundreds of videos of this number. This is Broadway caliber all the way Great job!! Now I have to subscribe to this channel.

[@marianthianakaraki8409]

I wouldn't realise those were children in my age if the title didn't say "high school"!👏👏👏

[@anah3864]

Wow!! Absolutely fantastic!! Everyone is amazing, most especially the lead. I can't believe it's a high school production. Well done!!

[@Nehmi]

I'm impressed that they had all these boys interested in doing a musical.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

my fave bway song of all times

[@Viracocha88]

This doesn't look like high school at all. Kudos to your director.

[@mcmraw]

Bravo gents... really great job! Definitely channeling some Radcliffe... so well done.

[@jrodlathrop]

I literally watch this video at least once a week to bring me pure joy. I wish I possessed even an ounce of this talent.

[@mimitesten5555]

This is as good as any Broadway production I have ever seen!! Your choreographer is STUPENDOUS!! Hope all of you are looking for work in the entertainment field...EXCELLENT entertainment!!!

[@ChelseyIsATotal5SOSFan]

Wow that kid is freaking amazing. That dancing is crazy good!

[@lenniedavis1294]

In the past week I’ve watched this like 50 times. Amazing job. I would literally choose this over the Broadway version any day.

[@waynegarton8672]

This is NUTS! Remarkable on SO many levels. Watch PIPPIN, MARY POPPINS, MAMA MIA, CLUE, LOVE'S LABOR LOST - anything these guys tackle. It will take you to a happy place.

[@robertm.siegfried1206]

I've seen the movie numerous times and clips from the revivals on Broadway. A little of Bob Fosse's choreography is an much from the revival starring Daniel Radcliffe. It's easy to forget that these are high schools. And the young lady who has the solo by Miss Jones holds her own. These kids are incredible.

[@petemichael6883]

I've watched several times and always makes me smile. I applaud all you guys that tackle this "Broadway" choreography andcredibly pull it off. Big props to you all. Bravo!

[@nobodyinterviews]

Wow!! This is a high school production? Holy cows! Found this by complete serendipity. Our high school did this ages and ages ago, but this is a superb effort.

[@donaldw9617]

Unbelievably good. Great choreography with a sensational cast. Look out Broadway.

[@travisgrant5608]

High School? WOW! gotta say that the choreography is stunning! Just as good as a real Broadway production. Where on earth do they get such talented dancers in high school? Plus, just gotta say, the lead is so dynamic and really awesome! I am so impressed! 💞👍💞

[@LadyInSchwarz74]

The talent of those kids is unreal!

[@lrose1766]

Broadway level performance. Awesome choreography and they sell it 100% Hope for the future.

[@kathyfaulkner7041]

Best overall performance in a hs play in history- see the entire play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@theaimism]

Sean is fabulous! I thought his dancing was even better than the pros I saw in the Broadway recent cast in 1995! All I can say, is, “Wow! Wow! Wow!“

[@Ziggamumma]

So much talent at this school to pull off a lot of the Broadway choreography at a high school. Well done!

[@hayprofilms]

I am absolutely stunned with this production! well done everyone

[@chrisdixon5193]

That was a high school? Amazing! Professional level performance! Top notch choreography.

[@garrytaylor1886]

A Broadway worthy production. Robert Morse, Daniel Radcliffe, Matthew Broderick, Darren Criss should be proud.

[@Thegamesofalifetime]

Fantastic job for a high-school production

[@susie8799]

whoever is playing Finch!!!!! bro it’s so good

[@MICHAELHUGHES-ik7iq]

I was totally blown away...I have seen just about any Broadway show in the last 40 years...in fact, I thought this was a Broadway show done somewhere.......I am totally awed by this magnificent piece ...obviously I am totally lost for words at the moment.

[@biedronkagirl]

this is UNBELIEVABLY amazing. bravo to everyone involved, this production is exceptional. not just for a high school production either, just generally speaking

[@dannysimion]

For a high school production I am wowed! Nice job students! I love it!!

[@jamescampion7880]

OMG...no words can convey what I just saw. Brilliance

[@marty88ish]

There’s parts of the choreography in this I actually like better than the clips I’ve seen of the Broadway production of this number. Well done guys!

[@ContinentalTitleSvcs]

Astonishing--i enjoyed this every bit as much as Daniel Radcliffe's rendition i watched recently. Hard to believe this is a high school production.

[@nardo218]

This song is so perfect for boys with the atheleticism. And the characters really do behave like teenagers in the show so it's perfect for high school. Amazing!

[@marksman48]

Wow! These folks are ready for Broadway or at least summer stock. Their dance instructor is superb!

[@declanjohn8517]

I looked up the lead and he actually accepted his first gig on Broadway a couple days ago (he'd been doing a regional tour of Cats earlier this year but now he'll be doing Beetlejuice in the ensemble on the Great White Way!)

[@johnhurrell3627]

I was part of this production as the the chairman of the board, and our choreographer was phenomenal. SHS was such an amazing time for me. Im so happy that so many people loved the performance even years after it happened!

[@MissPerriwinkle]

awesome ~~~~~

[@joeswife]

Great job guys! The Broadway choreography is challenging.

[@jaysubwaysurfer2496]

have seen this many times over the years (always impressed each time), but only now did i wonder: did anyone from this production go on to the Jimmy Awards in NY that year? that male lead (Sean?) deserve a top 5 in the Jimmys. 👍🏼❤️

[@r.n.8693]

I love this energy. On stage as well as in the audience 😍❤️❤️❤️

[@mlmattingly627]

I've seen this show live professionally done and I think this is the finest performance of Brotherhood of Man I've ever seen. Bravo!

[@michaeldemarco7694]

Simply the best! Absolutely phenomenal production number! WOW 🤩 The lead was great and the chorus was outstanding as well !

[@Tracks777]

Goob job! :) Keep it up!

[@robertbuckler9103]

Props to the choreographer for making all those high school guys look as polished as they do, Brava!

[@hanthonyc]

This whole time I was trying to figure out how this portion of the cast is as numerous as my school's entire theatre club... until I remembered city schools.

[@irisgould5462]

this is my school, we don’t live in a city, this is in suburban new jersey

[@Seventhsoncreative]

Wow....wow....wow! Superior performance!!

[@onemercilessming1342]

I remember when Robert Morse starred in this and his TV show "A Guide For the Married Man".

[@hayprofilms]

I am so impressed, well done.

[@mcmraw]

Wow.... Bravo guys... Well done... very Well Done. Cheers

[@ivanzamarripa9393]

this is PHENOMENAL i watch it all the time

This coreography is so so complicated... congratulations ❤❤❤

[@justintate3105]

Congrats to them all! This is amazing for high school! I judge the high school musical theatre awards in my city and never have seen anything like this! That lead CONGRATS!!! I got a little emotional seeing such exuberant work!

[@Granta_Omega]

I'm impressed that a high school production had access to get such expensive suits for everyone.

[@annepoyner499]

They werent that expensive. Our costume designer is AMAZING Amazon shopper!

[@morgantownsley1122]

I'm obsessed with this!, this highschool ! oh my gosh keep going you guys are amazing !

[@puppymcpupsters]

Just another reason why I love musical theatre lucky rich ass school probably gets to do multiple musicals a year while my school does one musical every other year we did Bring it on this year but I wish we could have some more

[@annepoyner499]

We are not funded by our BOE. All money comes from ticket and ad sales and our Cabaret fund-raiser.

[@paulinewehrer4642]

Amazing group of teens

[@adanzarcomunicaciones9478]

super bien la adaptación de la mujer en la mesa

[@patmurphy8345]

I can only say, "Wow!"

[@brucecoleman5379]

I wonder if they gave credit to Rob Ashford in the program? This is his choreography step for step from the most recent Broadway Production.

[@93missdramaqueen]

You guys are amazing !!!

[@candaceroberts3238]

Those kids did a great job, I was so surprised. Well done!

[@anyaailsworth6308]

THIS IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING.

[@kevinb7810]
