Brotherhood of Man - How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying - Summit High School 2017

[@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

[@fuzzybob1963]

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

[@brittanymale9481]

Brittany male hi ok

[@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?

[@kaylajohnson4867]

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

[@SwimCam]

Imagine having a teaching staff that makes all of this possible! No accident that the school produces shows at this level.

[@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

[@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

[@russwarren2516]

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

[@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!

[@solange16-95]

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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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\

[@christophercarter9036]

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

[@Viracocha88]

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

[@xxobrittanyg]

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

[@grahamd7664]

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

[@MrEternityroad]

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

[@PowerDiva]

He's on Broadway now. :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. .

[@pinarkaratas6351]

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

[@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.

[@thangvuong9196]

The lead is incredible!

[@garrytaylor1886]

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

[@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.

[@Thegamesofalifetime]

Fantastic job for a high-school production

[@Nehmi]

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

[@rickyriez17]

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

[@Ziggamumma]

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

[@marianthianakaraki8409]

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

[@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.

[@anah3864]

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@kathyfaulkner7041]

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

[@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! 💞👍💞

[@ChelseyIsATotal5SOSFan]

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

[@susie8799]

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

[@hayprofilms]

I am absolutely stunned with this production! well done everyone

[@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.

[@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.

[@sabinogarcia4980]

For a high school production, this is absolutely impressive.

[@biedronkagirl]

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

[@lrose1766]

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

[@chrisdixon5193]

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

[@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!

[@macjja]

Man, I wish my high school had this many guys even interested in musical theatre, let alone this great!

[@robertbuckler9103]

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

[@LadyInSchwarz74]

The talent of those kids is unreal!

[@jamescampion7880]

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

[@chrisohalloran8425]

I found this clip years ago. There are a LOT of videos of this number from different productions- but this one is off the charts. Why? For me, listen to the audience-they went wild several times at key points in choreography. And rightfully so.

[@dannysimion]

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

[@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!

[@Seventhsoncreative]

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

[@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!

[@diana9379]

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

[@saffold]

OMG. I just looked at Daniel Ratcliffe doing this on broadway... This kid is BETTER! WAY BETTER!

[@MoogieCookies]

Pretty sure this kid has now gone on to be in Beetlejuice in the touring show

[@CharlesAlfredMonk]

Oh my word! The choreo and singing?! LIKE WOW! I WISH I SAW THIS IN PERSON!

[@joeswife]

Great job guys! The Broadway choreography is challenging.

[@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!

God how i wish that was my high school!!!!! 🎉 VERY WELL DONE, ALL!!! 🎉

[@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!

[@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.

[@sanitypersonified5265]

This is my favorite version! I like it better than the movie even

[@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

[@kevinb7810]

❤ wow, incredible!! Worthy of Broadway!!
