4:09 "So now I'm basically terrified that if I don't do it I'm going to break my leg." Crutchie

[@miracaaahalane]

Of course.

[@jamienuckols2177]

When I first saw AKB: "Hi I'm Andrew Keenen-Bolger and I play Crutchie in Newsies" Now: "Hi I'm Andrew Keenen-Bolger and I play Jesse Tuck in Tuck Everlasting" Lol

[@theaterrox0103]

Ben is so adorable omg. He's so energetic while peeling stuff. Made my day.

[@FandomHopper24]

Frrrrrrr! I love him so much

[@scarlettrosewilson]

What the HECK was Ben doing during their "peeling session"?!?!?😂

[@AVERYfunperson]

The peeling warm up is the most theatre kid thing I've ever seen.

[@user-oq6ol5fi2w]

Avery Reid oh yeah, 100%

[@anniechiles5655]

Omg we play that game to at my community theater but instead of doing 10 push ups you get a point and who ever has the most points you have to fake fall during bows on the last day of tech

[@kelseynoyes6695]

That's halarious

[@juonithzramos1089]

I'm totally stealing that "Full Circle Clap" game. It looks too fun.

[@emmadomakeczna5308]

Juonithz Ramos me too!!!!!

[@michaelahewitt-clarke3779]

Juonithz Ramos same

[@haileykramer8017]

SAME

[@davidkoehler9285]

I have done it for every show I have been in since this vlog and my castmates hate me

[@elliotscasual2459]

Hey, if you break your leg you can always go back to Newsies

[@emmyj6806]

Mina Scarlet2 too soon

[@priscillac7410]

4:12 was that a Crutchie joke i heard? ;) also, Ben just melts me into a puddle of happiness everlasting. ♥ gosh.

[@startobekinzzz7079]

[@mollykotzin359]

Dead people's hair 😂😂

[@anyaklum8757]

I love that weird theatre rituals don't change even on broadway

[@larkspur2482]

His crooked smile is just so cute!

[@abialston8476]

Sarah is so professional for a 10 year old!

[@emmarennard6501]

I know

[@emilyramirez356]

Yea

[@emilyramirez356]

I cry every time

[@theyluvtwoset.13]

She's 14 but ok

[@birdietalkstoomuch]

At my drama camp before every first show there's a sign above the door to the green room that says "Stage" and every cast member while we get into places hits the sign for good luck It's a tiny little tradition that I love so much

[@roxiedutertre8926]

AKB, Ben, AND Michael Wartella ❤️❤️❤️ (Michael was JoJo for Suessical on Tour)

[@georgechlada4868]

I would like a 14 minute episode.

[@CameronEliza01]

Ben ❤️

[@jackcohenour4670]

YESSSSS!!!!!

[@hannahreeve4507]

5:31 when I first watched this, I was like “ yo, who’s that crazy dude in the corner “ *realises it’s Ben* OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY UR HIGHNESS

[@deselise]

The peeling thing before the opening number is something my theatre group does too...except we peel bananas lol

[@camopug]

I wish these were longer! I love them!

[@opheliaallaround6521]

2:57 I HAVE THE SAME SHIRT "If your happy and you know it clap your...oh" AHHHHH

[@lvkie6945]

I feel so sorry for everybody sharing dressing rooms (especially bob and michael) and I hope nobody gets murdered from excessive repetition of a singular line.

[@auroranottheprincess3907]

go and look it up the POOR GUYS HEAD IS SPINNING

[@chloebutler8438]

**the poor guy’s head is spinning**

[@spookysplatt]

Go and look it up...

[@catherinekubick298]

Sarah is such a cutie! She's so talented and professional for her age!

[@alastarbrunelle4176]

Dude my school does something before every show. For the play we do senior passdowns which is when the seniors pick an under classman and give them a gift. For the musical we do senior speeches which shouldn’t happen before the show because everyone cries and ruins their makeup but it’s still amazing

[@MaddieGrapeXO]

I love him and the quality so much

[@DavidHeguy]

There great! Longer because they are so good!

[@theaeskey2502]

YES!!! THE CINEMATOGRAPHY THO...

[@JenniferVanPelt31]

5:15-5:22... Ever Stage Manager ever

[@BrookeInProgress]

And the award for coolest cast on Broadway goes to Tuck Everlasting for playing Catan backstage

[@AdamOfIngolstadt]

This show is criminally underrated. It may not be a massive show, but its so wholesome and adorable

[@casstheshifter2176]

My school did the Full Circle Clap game. Last year I was in sixth grade, and no one ever explained to me how the game worked, so, needless to say, whilst in rehearsal for Macbeth, I did a lot of push-ups. I love that Ben Cook was showing off and got clapped!

[@simplycomplicated3262]

It's so high quality(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I'm obsessed please just have andrew tape all of the vlogs from now on as his day job.

[@carastevenson7059]

I have been waiting for this the past week

[@haileykramer8017]

First I am totally stealing the "Full Circle Clap" game. Second I love Ben during this episode

[@BBskatertwins]

love Benji so much ❤ And Sarah seems like such a sweet and adorable kid!

[@TheLizziebags]

His vlogs are ON POINT! I wish he would vlog his life all the time :)

[@NatalieWalcott]

"You owe me ore!!" I laughed out loud! Love this vlog and cast!!

[@chasewilliams4912]

I love this! So excited to watch these each Monday! Just wish they were longer like the other vlogs.

[@MissPerriwinkle]

looooooooooooove him.

[@calebjdavisnc]

O my gosh, they play Catan! Love that game

[@inlovewithJLT]

That circle game is awesome! I'm gonna bring it to camp this summer.

[@cameronwalker5831]

Mike Wartella, Ben Cook, and Andrew in one show!!!!!!!!!!

[@4lifeshaytards]

Everyone in this show is too damn cute. I can't wait to get tickets for this.

[@gretag8236]

I saw the show on Friday and it was AMAZING!!! Everyone, go watch it💖 and Andrew is just as adorable in the show as he is on here!

[@alixparis5204]

My favorite part of Monday! Thanks, AKB!!

[@miracaaahalane]

I miss this show so much. I love this cast!

[@ktportalproductions7815]

5:40 “enough of your potato peeling! We want cotton candy!”

[@broadwaymike92]

Another great preshow ritual I like to do and lot of Broadway actors do this.... Pull out an a Word from my bag of Angel Cards. It helps keep my energy up and a moment about what I'm about to do when I'm playing a charecter.

[@ColleenMcArdle789]

i remember we did the peel the orange at my first year summer play camp I loved it

[@meghanlowry7040]

I just love Andrew, he is such a good cinematographer and he is so funny!

[@filigree4103]

I love sarahs voice

[@dhs09066]

Please make these longer!!! I want to see the set backstage!!!

[@cattiq13]

This put a big smile on my face!

[@Dancing4Life24]

We do something called pouwaba which we all get in a circle and hold hands chanting pouwaba 10 times-getting Louder every time. It's to ward off evil spirits instead of saying good luck since saying good luck is bad luck. If you say the gl words you have to spin 3 times and spit. We also do something called shit mother fucker which is a series of cursing so if anything goes wrong on stage we already got the instinct to curse out of us😂

[@dancemusicsinging]

Neil is the man... he is doing it big ... he has been in so many amazing shows. can't get over how amazing he was on SYTYCD

[@itsabbycas5911]

i love that Robert and Michael make sure toad is ok with his performance that is so sweet😂❤😅😊 and i love the trust fall

[@SamWest96]

This has just added to my determination to perform! The circle game and the peeling looked so fun! I can't wait for the day I've made it to the theatre professionally!

[@ziplocbaggy]

Sammy Tyler; good luck!!

[@emmavangeli902]

I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THE SHOW IN 12 DAYS!!!!!!

[@jonsingsbway5112]

I wish I would have watched these before I saw the show earlier this week!

[@altahir9515]

5:30 OMG they're making so much noise backstage we would be smited down by the SM if that happened at my school

[@zoenic_ole]

I can literally hear my sm saying "quiet backstage" over the intercom as they're doing that

[@courtcourtpickle]

I am so loving this!!!

[@kiera.9318]

imagine you’re sat in the audience, everything goes quiet and you just hear “peal potatoes peal peal potatoes.”

[@risatap]

4:29 i'm cryin he's so beautiful

[@bethanyanderson8352]

I wish they made this into like a movie like they did with Newsie ( that Andrew was in!)

[@CameronEliza01]

I love this cast so much!! 💕

[@estherthebester]

Also their peel warm up thing they do is one of the songs we sing at girl's camp

[@nataliegoins1354]

This makes Monday's so much better

[@saxophoniusm9850]

[@rileywodka511]

Ben

[@sincerelyysydney]

I wish these were like 10or even 20 minutes long

[@FlapackandGregsPS5]

andrew being creative with stretching in his small dressingroom gave me flashbavks to newsies

[@Annicamdw]

ROBERT GOES BY BOB??? My life is complete. He's adorable

[@tacco416]

I love andrew

[@sopheverlasting]

When they were doing their peeling thing, I could hear my sm's voice yelling "quiet backstage" for some reason 😂😂

[@verycoolman8190]

That’s the best wig I’ve ever seen.

[@danicaorth3717]

Ben and AKB? This is the best video ever

[@loveisallyouneed9814]

Imagine trying to walk anywhere in that theatre with people just dropping constantly to do push-ups

[@larkspur2482]

5:22 is the best part lol

[@gretag8236]

I'm so typical but omg I wasn't looking at the screen then I heard bens voice and I just HAD to come back

[@frostedjosieos3193]

Ah this is my favorite part of being in theatre

[@musicality2887]

2:20 I'm wearing that exact same t-shirt while watching this....

[@lucicorinne297]

BEN AT THE END I CANT HhAAHAAGAHAH

[@girlonabookshelf4922]

This looks way too fun, can I be a part of this cast? (If only I lived in America!) Also Andrew, we can be Hippie's together! I Love Yoga, I do a routine every morning, though my living room iss a lot biger than your dressing room hehe! XD

[@leahmoore6820]

[@imatrain1234]

“Theatre people get very intense-“ Me before a show: YO ANYONE GOT A TWIZZLER? JOHN IS THAT A WOODEN STAKE? I TOLD YOU YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE SHARP THINGS ITS NOT SAFE

[@abialston8476]

[@user-oq6ol5fi2w]

ben casually showing off while stretching and having to do push ups

[@bellac4295]

[@katheandranian]

[@dmc8092]

Robert Lenzi looks like a younger, more traditionally handsome, less terrifying looking Michael Shannon.

[@thevloggertwins2165]
