[@LizzyGarozzoMusic]

Always look forward to your reactions!!! Thank you so so much! Glad we could leave you speechless! 🤭 You HAVE heard and seen me… Frozen2, Greatest Showman, and Just Sing! 💜

[@KingFamilyReacts]

Thank you so much for watching! That means SO much to me. You are absolutely phenomenal!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@acorrado5529]

Elizabeth Garozzo: you were great in this one--thanks!

[@LizzyGarozzoMusic]

@@KingFamilyReacts stop it, I’m blushing. ☺️ Seriously though, so honored to sing with them! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@KingFamilyReacts]

@@LizzyGarozzoMusic Haha... You are absolutely amazing and I can only imagine what it's like to hang out with those clowns. Hope to see you in another one soon 🙏🏻❤️

[@Starrynightdiner]

Great job Liz!

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

"What just happened?" I really hope what happened will be the ushering in of multiple nominations to various awards. Every single aspect about this video and arrangement was 100% PERFECT. 10 out of 10. VoicePlay really outdid themselves with this one.

[@southernhippie9058]

Cesar looks like hug a demon. Love this version of the song

[@craigcook1350]

They should retitle it “In the Hall of the Carrot King.” 😂🤣

[@KingFamilyReacts]

🤣🥕🤣🥕🤣🥕🤣🥕🤣🥕🤣🥕

[@tomaskennedy]

The fact that the "After Thoughts" section takes up almost the entire second half the video says enough about the performance, really. 🔥🔥🔥

[@melissayusaitis9722]

For context, I have played this 6 or 5 years ago and how they showed each part of the orchestra is amazing. The beginning notes you herd sounds like the the woodwinds that play the first few measures. Then the strings join in with pizzicato at the quiet volume they where singing. The short notes they sung replicated that sound very well. Also the way they sung the ending of the piece was perfect the way it gradually speeds up to the insane tempo at the end was perfect. This is one of the reasons I love voiceplay that can take any song and make it sound amazing even a song with no words.

[@darrelking7481]

Great reaction to a bit of VoicePlay. . .playfulness. Edvard Grieg is either rolling over in his grave, or rolling with laughter.

[@christinestromberg4057]

"In the Hall of the Mountain King" is a piece of orchestral music composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875 as incidental music for the sixth scene of act 2 in Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play Peer Gynt. The guys have put a story to it and come up with the characters. It's amazing.

[@dracosdiabolis1769]

i give them credit. i had to watch their video like 6 mines. My 4 year old daughter kept snatching my phone and watching it. when it would end she would start it over and over. but the intresting was by the 4th play threw, she was huming/mumbling/singing? along with about half the song. color be floored.

[@silverfeigner]

"In the Hall of the Mountain King" is a very repetitive piece, and the way that VoicePlay changes up the melody was what made this song more fun. I love the original piece but I also love this version.

[@kimmy522]

They all KILLED it! But Layne had me giggling the whole time lol

[@davidharman8263]

The full title of this movement from Peer Gynt is ‘Dance of the Imps in the hall of the Mountain King’. Hence the costumes. I play the oboe and cor anglais, and know the solo’s so well in this suite.

[@draygontaygen677]

Halloween will never be the same again, neither will the opera. Well I've enjoyed watching another persons mind getting blown by this song. 🤣👍 Great reaction.

[@embran8486]

Hall of the Mountain King is populated by trolls, though make-up seems inspired on multiple creatures in fantasy like goblins or kobolds. Eli and Elizabeth give me WOW vibes.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

Cesar is always adorable ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

Halloween might have been a month away when VoicePlay released this song, but I give them an extension. They deserve it. They LOVE Halloween and they always do it justice.

[@hopehewitt2555]

If anyone wasn't into opera or classical music, then VoicePlay needs to do their own brand of magic and opinions would change. They killed this!

[@hyperion1377]

Omg I've watched this at least 10 times so far and ive JUST realized that those masks in the background hanging in the trees are the Lock, Shock, and Barrel masks from Kidnap the Sandy Claws!!!

[@Starrynightdiner]

Cesar will love being called adorable.

[@cadeevans4623]

Looking forward to this Dennis

[@marshayoung9387]

This just goes to show you that anyone of Voice Plays members can sing opera they are unbelievable.

[@MiladyMacabre]

The word you're looking for to describe them is "adorkable"

[@tatumespino6705]

Layne went crazy with this arrangement. This song makes me appreciate Layne, when he does sing and his amazing beatboxing. everyone else was amazing, i was smiling throughout the entire song. i love them so much

[@sunnysidesofblue]

I think 'adorable' is a very good choice of word for Cesar in this. XD I just love the playfulness.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

I totally agree. Cesar is adorable in this.

[@Broomrider1492]

That wasn't a carrot, it was a finger. Peer Gynt "In the Hall of the Mountain King" (Norwegian: I Dovregubbens hall, lit. 'In the Dovre man's hall') is a piece of orchestral music composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875 as incidental music for the sixth scene of act 2 in Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play Peer Gynt.

[@bethgooch6243]

I slept on this song because I knew it didn’t have words. I’m so glad I watched it. I’m obsessed. This is an absolute masterpiece. The arrangement is genius! Loved the carrot jokes!

[@janetdw]

I imagine that my face looked a lot like yours the first time I heard it and viewed it. 🤔🤯😳They were going to do some thing for the spooky season and it was going to be in costume. Cesar is adorable always👹, but this time you can see his mischievous side. You just know he’s going to cause trouble. I love how they all gang up and try and prank Layne. But Layne pays him back with that infernal carrot🥕 of his. I’ve heard this piece of music most of my life. For heaven sake‘s, it’s been used in Looney Tunes! I knew it was from Peer Gynt, but did not know the story. I knew it had something to do with the trolls of Norway but that was it. So I did check the link that Geoff provided on the Patreon page to a KZbin channel called Classics Explained. It’s from Peer Gynt and the Mountain King is the troll king. A man visits them (the slower paced beginning), but has impregnated the troll Princess and doesn’t want to marry her. As the trolls anger, the tempo picks up and the music becomes more menacing as time goes by. I don’t want to think about why they have the big cooking pot, but it’s certainly well seasoned!

[@bjspeck4337]

Love Layne and his burpboxing. New favorite Halloween, my goodness. How'd you like Eli's operatic voice? There's so much. This was one of my favorite pieces to perform in the symphonic band ( I got to play the contrabass clarinet for all those low notes). VoicePlay outdid themselves on this. So cool. The hot chili increased the pace of the song. Layne couldn't be without his carrot!

[@ingiford175]

This is up there, but still love Geoff's Monster Mash

[@Wildecat10]

You saw Liz in the Just Sing video, but you’ve also heard her in the Frozen medley and the Greatest Showman (hers was the voice over the group beatboxing). She has a beautiful voice (and I believe used to sing with Geoff in Vox Audio.) Speaking of beatboxing, Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice coined the term ‘burp boxing’ for one section of this!

[@raymondmacdonald2464]

you're going to love their video

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Totally agree.

[@marshayoung9387]

Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play. This was a symphony orchestrated song that never had any words to it. I have watched many versions of this song and they all had just a still shot photo and the music. Voice Play is mimicking the orchestra. Listen to the orchestras soundtrack then you can understand how good voice play mimicked the orchestra.

[@Traci2000]

🤣🤣🤣 "What just happened?" Was essentially the comment I left on this video! (With a few carrot emojis, lol). I needed time to rewatch and process before I could make sense of it. It's really incredible. Wild, absolutely wild! Edit: Roll Tide!!!

[@lkayh]

This is the most amazing piece of silliness they’ve ever done. LOVE it! Great lead-up to Halloween 🎃 👻 Great reaction, Dennis!!

[@Rodneyc2002]

In this play, Peer falls in love with a girl but is not allowed to marry her. After being forced to leave home for being untrustworthy, Peer finds himself in the Hall of the Mountain King where he is captured by trolls. He upsets the King of the Trolls when he refuses to marry the King's daughter and become a troll.

[@tonycamacho66]

They had way too much fun making this.

[@KingMoogle_Mog]

can i say how much i am getting sonic the hedgehog sega game vibes when geoff is pouring in his contents from the box, that hit like a blast from the past

[@anchorskid]

I like at 4:36 when they take a small whiff of something psychedelic? that's been added to the pot and they go major for a few measures. Goofy!! Love it.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Oh. And Liz said this morning in the premiere that she's an "Underworld Goddess"

[@joyvanderveer2282]

This was so much fun. Thanks for reacting to this.

[@bobharp3492]

As always beautiful job vp always great

[@dianeschluter9995]

Liz was in the Just Sing video, she did the descant in the Frozen 2 medley but wasn't on screen

[@yoclark2723]

Hall of the Mountain King is a classical piece by Grieg and is from a play called Peer Gynt. The mountain king is a troll. So they are trolls. The arrangement was made by Layne so we knew it would be funny! There are hidden easter eggs in the background so it's worth a closer look.

[@denisemagnuson8366]

you are going to love this!

[@melissarumack9095]

Always should use the live version not the Patreon version. Added graphics after the Patreon release. plus it actually helps the counts.

[@CCFideldi]

I love this new voiceplay...song. I have trained my subharmonics and can now go up to F1. Also tried to make a cover of voiceplays my mother Told Me 😂

[@jessicahedman3048]

So creative and insanely fun to watch/listening !

[@lkayh]

Yeah, I think Cesar is adorable too. 👹

[@twisterjester]

I agree, could imagine Pentatonix doing this musical piece - but not with the humor and creativity of VoicePlay. I love both groups and thinking VP is finally gaining long-overdue traction. I said it before - they're one original hit away from becoming the phenomenon they deserve to be.

[@dafog89]

You have very similar reactions as me when I watch videos, mine is a little bit bigger often though because I have borderline/ptsd. But I can read people very well because of it as well, can tell you're a very sympathetic and empathetic person, you seam very genuinely sweet and nice.

[@gregbosworth6094]

Amazing video

[@raymondmacdonald2464]

The makeup might include something about the original story of the Mountain King, it's also close to Halloween so that could also be the reason

[@melissasnider9721]

Uh-oh, another VoicePlay reactor is broken. (Every. Stinkin. Time.) 😂😂

[@BlueZebra1955]

Check out the nod to the Little mermaid. (Ariel singing) and the masks in the background.

[@ronsbrat525]

Update.... Voiceplay and Geoff Castellucci both released their Halloween videos on their Patreons yesterday, Saturday. They are both absolutely beautiful and amazing.

[@acorrado5529]

Thanks for your reaction!

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Great reaction Dennis

[@victorcowboywest]

Listening to "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" might give you a better understanding of what is going on. Or listen again,and sit and enjoy the talent.

[@catherinelopresti7121]

This was awesome

[@kimmy522]

This video is amazing!! I can't get enough of it. Looking forward to your reaction!

[@ilonadever8249]

Your reaction (stunned) was so funny. This was all on Layne, and the carrot has to be the inspiration. I just need to know what the deal is with Layne and carrots. If anybody knows, please share!!

[@tatewakinew]

A nod to his Swen role in Frozen medley (also Norway based)?

[@bartonbagnes4605]

That was so much fun. I hope you check out Allfy Rev soon, "Wonderland Indonesia 1", another unbelievable multi instrumentalist.

[@clffliese26]

Dennis, why weren't you laughing yourself silly? Wow is a good word for it.

[@melodie-allynbenezra8956]

At 8:04 - You stopped trying to process, and you just gave up and watched it... That's fair. You need several viewings to catch everything, and goodness! It is so silly, but so immensely skillful... I have no idea how they did this, but it was great fun to watch and listen to.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Dennis In another comment I asked you to do The Fox by Voiceplay. You said you would do it this week. What I forgot to mention is First. This is an older video with Tony and short hair Geoff.To Second. Watch to the extreme very end. After the credits keep going. There's a cool but funny surprise by the guys. After that the video is done. Another video done around the same time is What do you get a rookie for Christmas? ONe anyone? 😹😂

[@jackyfriedman1963]

**** PJs anyone? Darn autocorrect lol

[@DravenGal]

I think Eli had a human finger. Layne had the carrot. Because that’s his “thing.”

[@melodie-allynbenezra8956]

At 1:01 - What is the inspiration for the amazing makeup? In Wikipedia, it says: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" (Norwegian: I Dovregubbens hall, lit. 'In the Dovre man's hall') is a piece of orchestral music composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875 as incidental music for the sixth scene of act 2 in Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play Peer Gynt. It was originally part of Opus 23 but was later extracted as the final piece of Peer Gynt, Suite No. 1, Op. 46. Its easily recognizable theme has helped it attain iconic status in popular culture,[citation needed] where it has been arranged by many artists (See Grieg's music in popular culture). The characters are trolls, or goblins, or the like. While this has nothing to do with Peer Gynt (which is a play I have to read), they are five goblins or trolls, or something or other. The scene is that they are creating a potion to help them become better singers, or something. However, carrots will lead to their destruction, so the female troll flicks it away. (Between Layne and carrots, there seems to be a running in-joke.)

[@d.dianesmith5500]

This is an instrumental classical piece I think called the Peer Gynt Suite. There are no lyrics --- different 'voices' (aka

[@b.buster.]

Layne has used the carrot on a few videos.

[@tschlaak]

Nice shirt!!

[@Genthar]

If you want to hear the original orchestral version, here's a good example. It's a pretty famous piece. Voiceplay certainly put their stamp on it, and it's pretty awesome. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap-whqVuh9lld6s

[@hojomo2007]

I know right

[@teresamachnicz1740]

Have you checked our austin and robs singing opera on Austin's channel

[@jackyfriedman1963]

They're all trolls
