[SHITTY BROADWAY: IT'S LIKE BROADWAY, BUT WORSE!]
The floorboards of Broadway are graced daily by true triple threats: performers who can kick their face, belt their face off, and act... with their face. They're absolutely incredible. And we are not those people.
We all love musical theatre, but Broadway isn't exactly banging down our doors. So we've created a cabaret show to celebrate what we love about it all in our own unique way. Join us and special guests for an evening of music, comedy, and musical comedy in our [shitty] tribute to the Great White Way!

I love that Jekyll is actually trying to take it seriously? Like, Jekyll's legit having a crisis of conscience and locked in a desperate battle for self control, but Hyde's acting like a 40-year-old drag queen possessing the body of a toddler.

Especially here 3:00, every time watching this I'm amazed by how his voice at this moment is almost broken at the beginning of "breath" and then, out of the blue, it grows into "fully developed"* and clean one! * I'm not sure how to say this correctly. P.S. In AVPSY (Potter senior year) he fascinates me when he sings "but I love, I love, I loooooove being at your side" (in "Sidekick"). The same amazement about a sudden strengthening of the voice after it sounded almost exhausted already.

[@radxianixe]

@@KatereenArt i was really impressed with sidekick too, though, because he was obviously really out of breath but he still gave it his all and you can just *feel* ron's determination to save hermione and be the boyfriend she deserves. it was still kinda weird though because while he had the option to tell hermione about the kiss on the cheek, he didn't even do anything else wrong lol.

[@annikak.1554]

Hyde is definitely less intimidating when he has a silly voice. And Joey has the greatest voice for this.

I'd actually say the ridiculous voice makes his Hyde a little more intimidating because it makes Hyde more unpredictable.

[@CusterDawg]

I'm feeling so many emotions right now. Like the transition from the silly Hyde to the composed and serious Jekyll is so incredibly seamless. Go from laughter to admiration to empathy for Jekyll and it all keeps swapping lol

[@Dreeraven]

This really shows off Joey’s range- not only vocally, but also as an actor. He’s able to go from pulling at your heartstrings to making you laugh hysterically in 0.5 seconds. Incredible voice, too. He absolutely SHINES here! 👏👏👏

[@GCWeber]

I love how this points out that Jekyll and Hyde is inherently kind of ridiculous in that the lead is constantly switching between two characters in the same scene.

[@SingingSealRiana]

actualy it is not, only if the actor fucks it up, thats why they called it shitty broadway, to show brillantly how to not do it. With the right actor it is one of the most powerful scenes ever . . . The funny thing is, Joey never slips up, he executes it perfectly but still at the same time makes fun of how it does not work while it totaly works out perfectly ^^

[@GCWeber]

@@SingingSealRiana three years late but oh well lol. yeah, I meant how it's ridiculous conceptually. a good execution can save *most* concepts, and Jekyll & Hyde isn't really the most out there thing ever or anything. And yeah I agree, that's exactly why this works, Hyde would not be nearly as funny if Joey didn't perform Jekyll's parts so sincerely. Until the "god damn you Hyde" at the end there's no sense of Joey playing Jekyll as a joke on purpose, and honestly I think that works anyway
