Consider Yourself | Times Square

[@AnotherSpecialEdMom]

The young lady who starts the song has a truly excellent broadway voice. She's wonderful. The dancers are great, too.

[@jimogrady1131]

AnotherSpecialEdMom Her name is Leslie McDonel. The song is from a Movie OLIVER.

[@mylesmarkson1686]

Agreed. Is she singing live or is it a pre-recording?

[@MCO18]

They totally trolled that cop, lol

[@mylesmarkson1686]

The cop wasn't in on it?

[@hardyharboy]

This sounds proper naff in an american accent :/

[@Ealenno]

Great video. I'm not use to hearing this song being sung by an American woman rather than a young British boy.

[@michaelfawcett9935]

This reminds me of the 'Sound of Music' performance at a train station in belgium.

[@myarodriguez6820]

We need these guys now more than ever!

[@johnmeye]

I absolutely love this.

[@KitWriter]

For those who don't know this was staged, think about the fact that they're all wearing microphones on their clothes. All of a sudden, music and their voices are pumped over a PA, picked up well on the multi-angle cameras. YES, this group is doing random public appearances and it's already made the news. It's FANTASTIC. I hope they continue with other pieces - I bet it took a while to practice this to do it in public. I also hope they don't ever do political messages. GOOD JOB!

[@larrygevirtz30]

A very New York experience! Greatly enjoyable!!

[@mikeyzeebe]

Made me feel good ! forgot about same bs for a few minutes. very refreshing !

[@CloneTrooper124]

really good idea! I hope this kinda thing catches on everywhere

[@miuxita80]

lo ame... hermoso... I LOVE IT !!! HELLO FROM STGO- CHILE

[@straitfan62]

Ya gotta love public art! God bless America

[@MrJoshuasihombing]

These are street performer, their goal is just to give you something fun to see or watch. If you don't like it then don't watch it, or go buy the official Oliver broadway musical ticket.

[@Waterloomusical]

Moulsham high school is doing a musical in March for Oliver twist and I am in chorus I need to practice consider yourself and food glorious food 1v1

[@0thegroup012]

This is amazing!

[@GWAJQ]

That was fantastic. It could only be NYC.

[@diaLogisch]

Only missing the Cockney - sounds awkward with a clean, shiny American accent. good tone though.

[@geoff1945]

I have long wished that my small but beautifully formed City of Chester would see the merits of this kind of street theatre. We have excellent buskers but no 'happenings'. The record of the audience's faces as they cottoned on to what was happening was a joy to watch and it added to the tourist value of the place. I felt I was there. Thanks for sharing this and thanks to my mate Max for passing it on. Brilliant

[@combat87]

bravo !!!

[@Spec0pleader]

Damn I thought NYC being all broadway was a stereotype lol

[@matthewcollins57]

Firstly, she's miming and secondly the voiceover artist referred to 'empty barder days'. Dreadful!

[@Stonehawk]

holy crap that's amazing!!

[@Freeee2be]

That was amazing!

[@Redbelt0610]

I have to deal with a few bad people myself and look up ways of making it safe. alot of them advise people to sing a song you know but i think it better to use a common one like Consider Yourself from oliver because people are more likely to know the words

[@Viperr101]

...staged? Nooooooooo no way, it was all random luck...

[@valnyra]

Cool!

[@dlcowh2]

The cop wasn't in on it. /watch?v=l8ZqOoa9wqY&feature=fvw

[@garycastillo2347]

Oliver ! and the Artful Dodger.

[@andysteinbock9636]

I imagine this song in my head after unlocking another Disney character for my roster in Disney Heroes, Battle Mode

[@Hikaru766]

Wow, that's soo cool! :D You guys are awesome!

[@NickScala]

lol well done... my only question is where do u music playing out of. and im sure that the audio track that we just heard through the youtube video was just overdubbed over the live performance

[@maha77]

Lets put you in charge of the obvious

[@Myles0Harcourt]

@EmilyBarnettGinsberg Yes it is a good musical. I just discovered it after hating it for many years due to the fact that I had to put it on at school. Trouble was, it was so badly organised as they swapped the cast round for every scene to get everyone a part. Nobody knew what the hell was happening :)

[@cloxwork]

it would 3 times better if they kept the English Cockney Accent while singing still good job

[@bigexplodon521]

it's ok, that only thing that is missing is the cockney accent. I mean, it doesn't really matter what accent it is sung in. But honestly, the cockney matches the lyrics and and tone...

[@Minfire]

At first I thought the security guard that showed up in the beginning of the song was part of the show...

[@pathduck]

I think you can see some speakers at the back of the crowd in the overview shots.1

[@Lovesreading06]

@KitWriter That song they so many different dances you can do for that bit..

[@artemisialefay2232]

This make me snicker 'cos real New Yorkers would never treat a tourist like that...

[@wolfy29]

Is it just me or does the guy in stripes look kinda like Artie from glee?

[@valnyra]

Am I the only one who was thinking about Kurt Hummel and Dave Karofvski?

[@VampireNya]

That guy is sorta cute;;

[@PolinaSenderova]

i love new york city. ♥ anyone know where the music's coming from? i didn't see musicians or a boombox.

[@napdaw]

gave me the jitters

[@RomZomCom]

Fail troll is fail.

[@markmc23]

That dancer with the short dark hair and sunglasses is the best thing in it.

[@aussiegirl751]

This is very clever and we used it at my daughter's school for Choir - The kids loved it.

[@pastore0506]

Brilliant! One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite musicals!

[@cultdiva]

Whatever the scene - it made people smile. It's great!

[@zackstark24601]

Phenomenal she's got #Zazz

[@scottreacher4620]

God, that girl is so cute. She also has an amazing voice.

[@mylesmarkson1686]

Too true. I'm wondering if Disney has snagged her up yet. And had that been me hoisting her up at the end, I definitely would've copped a feel or two in the process!

[@bobbybrady8]

that was weird how everyone knew the same song.

[@mylesmarkson1686]

It must be a New York thing.

[@gavinodonoghue1171]

Haha best video ever

[@maggiesnyder3720]

Pft Americans

[@eye-vee]

Maggie Snyder yes, it should be with a cockney accent

[@WolfxEyed]

thats awesome! :D

[@2BellProductions]

that's so awesome!

[@hollieclarke5506]

So cool

[@JoJy54]

lol at the end there were people speaking italian

[@JacobMoyerMoats]

I love this.

[@z3suzie123]

Omg I loved it!!

[@Sk8erboi360Dopedude]

Why does it sound so wrong in an American accent

[@WolfgangBoodman]

I wouldnt mind doin this for a living!

[@mylesmarkson1686]

I wouldn't mind doing it for a few extra bucks on the weekend!

[@TreemanG49]

In in the play as dodger for my school half the lyrics are off and that's a terrible accent

[@McGarvinStudios]

I wish I could live in New York

[@jimogrady1131]

Dustin the Wind I live in Buffalo, NY our winters are 5 months long. November- March. Buffalo is called ( SNOW CAPITAL OF USA ) True Lake Erie dumps 10-12 feet every winter. We got that name from 1977 Blizzard it snowed everyday in December & January, not Lying we got 16 feet of snow from that storm. City & Schools were closed for 3 weeks. Still had snow on ground in June. We have to wait till July to enjoy the Beaches cause Lake Erie frezzes over. Buffalo is a big Drinking City bars are open till 4am. Some people blame that because we have a big IRISH Population here. Buffalo Bills fans are crazy, because we get to Tailgate for 4 hours before the game, drinking Alcohol at 9am. 1 good thing in 70s Buffalo had 10 years of concerts 4 every summer at Bills Stadium. Rolling Stones liked us they played here 6 times. Got to see big bands Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, The Who, Greatful Dead, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers. It was cool most bands opened saying ( HELLO BUFFALO ). ALWAYS WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO.

[@mylesmarkson1686]

Do they always break into song like that? That'd be swell!

[@johnwalters978]

supposed to be a guy singing this.

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

crikey o blimey guvnor

[@ToddZuidema]

Brilliant, Captain Obvious.

[@melody-ul8ww]

[@paulgerard8266]

again again again lol that was so cool , woulda been better in cockney accent though

[@evangelinedolly]

Love the concept, HATE hearing the accents. Sorry to my colonial cousins :(

[@dickchestnut644]

That lead girl has a nice body. Daddy like.

[@SuperAngiemama]

Sucks

[@safenders]

wow a group of 10 yr old kids from 1968 puts this to shame

[@Magicboogaloo]

Shame about the accents...

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

They're not playing cockneys.

[@SuperAngiemama]

This sucks

[@ThePoreproductions]

I know that the story of Oliver Twist is originally set in London, but Here's an idea, If Hollywood decides to do another movie of it, they should have it set in New York. Why not?

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

They did. It was called Oliver & Company and another film called Twisted.

[@ThePoreproductions]

@@crixxxxxxxxx Yeah I know about Oliver & Company, but that's a Disney animated film, and most of the characters are animals.
