Lmao at the thumbnail of them all standing on the classic broadway “female engenue belt pose”

[@charsweetasjasmine]

PLS

[@jortsofficial173]

Princess Puffer’s acting carries maturity beyond her years. She’s totally believable as an older and experienced woman. Every movement held meaning, every line carried multiple meanings. Like dude, your physical acting is on point!! You walked in character, everything in character and everything awesome. Also your voice?? So full and awesome and just....Hell yeah Felicity, hell yeah. Also the whole thing was hilarious. So funny, and none of the lines were funny, you’re just so hilarious and awesome. Also the accent is just the right mix of believable and fake theatre accenty, you know what I mean? Maybe not. Whatever, I loved it. Mary Poppins!!! Betsy did an AWESOME job of just inhabiting the character. That’s so hard to do and she killed it. Cinderella!!! 1) I love your voice. 2) you did an awesome job discovering each line, making it seem like you didn’t know what you were going to say next, it didn’t look over practiced, it looked real, and lovely, and awesome!! Get it, Sierra. You guys did so great!!! I wish my school did the Jimmy’s so that I could see the show or even maybe get up on stage myself!! Wish I could have been there to see you all perform live.

[@FelicityBryant]

Aww... Thank you. 💕

[@jortsofficial173]

Felicity Bryant oh my god seriously though. You KILLED it.

[@jortsofficial173]

100% my favorite in this medley because you were just so much FUN to watch

[@charlieal12]

Omg, your performance was AMAZING!!!

[@FelicityBryant]

Thank you!

[@declanfraney6372]

This had some of the best vocals from any Jimmy Awards medley I’ve heard. Congrats to Reneè for winning, but they all sounded great!

[@xzayvierpizarro5812]

Seeing Reneé in this then now her on broadway just gives me a smile

[@j.j.225]

Princess Puffer never ceases to amaze me. Such a stand out. Perfect physical acting and comedic timing. I also adore Reneé & Natalie.

[@alyssahayes268]

Came here for Renee, but I keep replaying Tiyanna Gentry's part because oh my god, why didn't she win?? This rendition of the witch is so emotional and real. It's less grungy and angry, but that makes the performance more powerful in a subtle way. Tiyanna's witch is desperate, so the audience has a better understanding of her motivations instead of seeing "a bad guy" or a "villain", which is the entire point of the character. This actress deserves to be cast on the big stage.

[@paulasaenz5726]

The vulture writer who went backstage to this event and called that night that Renee rapp would end up in mean girls said her iPhone kept correcting Titanna’s name as Rihanna in her iPhone, which she said was her iPhone naturally confusing the two because they’re both superstars

[@MomentswithMolly]

Yo, Renee is amazing, but Jesus Christ, the Witch had so much emotion! And Mary Poppins just dazzled!

[@jacobmccain8794]

SO RENÉE SIIIINNNNGGG! I HEARD HER TONE AND THEN THE RIFF AND WAS LIKE WELP SHE WON😂! The witch and Cinderella were also amazing, the witch gave me chills with her acting and vocals, and Cinderella’s voice gave me chills. However, Mary from Sister Act got ROBBED. Girl could SING but hers was soooo short compared to everyone else’s. Mary you have such a HUGE FUTURE, I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOUR BROADWAY DEBUT!

[@emmasearle5730]

renee is so captivating, everytime the camera zoomed out my eyes would go straight to her. Her stage presence is EVERYTHING!!

[@TuckerStIvany]

OK WHY IS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM INCREDIBLE

[@kamdavis6427]

The witch tho. The witchhhh my pearls.

[@weshare5598]

“mary poppins, mary poppins” TOOK ME OUT LMAO

[@camille9944]

why aren’t we talking about natalie as mary robert.... incredible

[@jackk3754]

SO TRUE

[@gramps2matt]

I liked how they incorporated all the actresses into the line during Cassie's song just like all the actors in A Chorus line return to "the line" following most of the numbers.

[@squeegeeandcrew8619]

Honestly, they only ever pick students from richer schools and it’s kinda sad. Like they all like supermodels up there and it’s kinda sad because their schools are supportive of the arts. My school tries it’s best, but we never get any recognition because our school doesn’t care about us.

[@nataliadelpino685]

Emma’s Explorations Tiyanna is from a super supportive public school

[@MomentswithMolly]

Yep. It's unfortunate.

[@user-oq6ol5fi2w]

the jimmy's are honestly suuuuuuper classist ngl

[@GhostlightG]

Broadway as a whole is pretty classist considering theatre rose from those being oppressed

[@franfrankie7]

It’s because to get to the Jimmy’s you first need to be a lead in a qualifying grand musical at a school with an amazing theatre program (usually a rich school bc the arts are underfunded anyways) and you need to live close enough to a local theatre awards program (in cities like LA, NYC, Chicago, SF, etc…) so schools not in a certain radius of that aren’t eligible… it’s so unfortunate

[@davideatonjr.8571]

I think the girl who played Mary Robert was at a disadvantage... that was a very wimpy segment of Life I Never Led

[@savannahgibbons6349]

For real! She was one of the best ones, so I was disappointed it was such a short snippet :/

[@j.j.225]

Rhealee Fernandez- Your comment is precisely what was going through my mind watching this. They did Natalie Doppelt dirty. But she still did wonderful with what she had.

[@davideatonjr.8571]

Rhealee Fernandez is there a video of her rendition? I’d love to hear it. We just did Sister Act at my school last year, I played Eddie Souther and was the director and our Sister Mary Robert was phenomenal, but I’d love to see a different version!!

[@j.j.225]

David Eaton, Jr.- kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKDYeKWodpKko9U It’s incredible. This video is her highlights from her school’s production of Sister Act, I believe. She’s so awesome. Such a talent.

[@spencersher66]

J. J. She’s incredible in the role. I actually was the drummer for that production and was lucky enough to hear her sing that song every night and it was incredible.

[@sawyer254]

sister act should’ve gotten more time :( she was so good!

[@oathkeepersoblivion1]

AGREED

[@j0j0starks59]

Omg….she was giving me everything❤️✨

[@jacobmccain8794]

THANK YOU, I’ve been saying this. She is a beast of a vocalist and hers was so short:(

[@ceciliamcbride4903]

I think Mary Poppins, Renee, and the Witch From Into The Woods were the best

[@avedeenah2921]

why is no one talking about Mary Poppins? she was incredible, man!

[@davie9944]

agreed! I was just in a show with her and she’s so talented!

[@avedeenah2921]

@@davie9944 ahh what show???

[@drewhoag3701]

@@davie9944 yeah I did a show with Betsy as well three months after she got nominated for the jimmy awards

[@humzakhan8040]

Okay but are you kidding me TIYANNA!!! Her voice is amazing. The emotion, the unique tone- I’m speechless.

[@ellieb1290]

Felicity (Princess Puffer) is so TALENTED!! My brother went to high school with her and played John Jasper and that show was AMAZING! The Myster of Edwin Drood is definitely an underrated musical. I cannot wait to see all these girls careers flourish.

[@laurynhurley3801]

For anyone wondering, all of these girls are incredibly lovely people! I miss all of them so much. Great job girls!

[@davie9944]

Were you one of the nominees? If so, which character did you play?

[@insertname5890]

@@davie9944 she played Amalia Balish and was in the third medley

[@emoiloi_1]

She plays regina in mean girls

MudWolf wrong girl lol

[@daniellecheminant1580]

PotatoFamine lmao

[@hennamontana222]

I can’t take my eyes off Renee at 10:20. That delivery and expression (even as an ensemble) was eye catching and superb. It’s no wonder she won.

[@HermioneLMS]

Should’ve let Cassie dance, c’mon guys.

[@emmiwarford2096]

Tiyanna / The Witch actually brought me to tears I was not ready holy crap

[@rachelperkins7557]

Why is nobody talking about Jane Porter? She was my favorite of the group and deserves WAY more credit than she’s getting.

[@claireborges7637]

Rachel Perkins I agree!

[@brynnelamb7281]

I love her! I was actually nominated alongside her when she won! She’s incredible!

[@mariajosefenton3728]

It’s so funny seeing comments about Renee before she became a freaking Broadway star

[@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318]

Pre-Regina Renee footage has landed in my lap and I love it just as much as everything else I've heard her sing

[@ashmauldin6595]

THAT CINDERELLA THOUGH!! she's amazing!

[@shazrebekah]

Like how good are High School productions in USA that you can turn up and hear leads bust out numbers like this????flipping heck! Just trying to imagine myself in a UK school hall listening to this singing from teenagers! I would be on my feet the whole time!!!!

[@oathkeepersoblivion1]

Every single young woman that performed was AMAZING such a pleasure to watch all this talent!

[@emmamorgan8972]

natalie doppelt is insane!!!!

[@emmebiggs1920]

Betsy Miller is getting slept on she is AMAZING

[@lukeallen6133]

I think we can agree this the strongest medley in Jimmy history?!?!

[@kkaitlinten]

Ok the tracy added TOO MANY RUNS AND LICKS changed tracy too much (Btw shes incredible it just doesnt match tracy)

[@StevenTaylorJR]

Kaitlin Sings sorry that you’re jealous lolz

[@Yummycookie8]

Steven Taylor Jr. it just didn’t have the character of tracy. the licks were out of place/style

[@Chopsparillo]

Yeah, she did, when she performed Tracy she usually doesn't I guess she wanted to add something because of the awards but she's usually not so uh.. extra.

[@stylecollective-qt9um]

I am completely wowed by the level of artistry for these to be high school students. Fantastic!

[@OMGmynameisLILI]

I loved Betsy as Mary Poppins ❤️

[@StevenTaylorJR]

[@clqiredearing]

Reneé’s facial hair expressions during the hairspray bit 😂 i love her so so much

[@MayseeRenae]

Why is no one talking about felicity she was AMAZE BALLS

[@taragold6457]

I loved the acting from Felicity and Betsy so much, and my favorite vocals were Renee and Aria

[@Brysonkrrose]

Man I’ve been watching this for months and people need to pay more attention to the Jane and Mary Poppins like they may be roles people underrate but THEY USED THEIR TIME TO SLAY

[@charolopezlolli5]

All of them seem so happy to be there i love it

I’ll be a freshman in high school next year.... wouldn’t it be amazing if I made it to the Jimmy Awards sometime in the next four years.... never gonna happen lol I can’t rly dance

[@andrewaguilar6877]

My brother was in one of the boy’s medleys last year and said that one of the things that the coaches told them that you’re at an advantage if you can dance but the majority of the people that go are not at a high level. Plus my brother was a terrible dancer going into high school but improved a ton over the years so don’t be discouraged if you’re not at where you want to be right now.

[@MelHyde]

All of these women are amazing

[@julie2703]

the witch is so helpless and sad omg i love it

Okay but I’m in LOVE with this Felicity girl what a fuckin legend haahhaha

[@sketchingsomethingstellar4691]

Someone from my theatre company is nominated for this years Jimmy awards!!! The place I go to is VERY official, but I still never imagined something so crazy would happen there! I mean, my old teacher was a broadway casting director and always spoke about casts of musicals he directed, such as the cast of DEH! I have so much insider info on Ben Platt because of him!! They also hold masterclasses, and some people who do them go to broadway! They cast some broadway stars in our productions too! One year was Mary Poppins, and guess who played mary poppins...FREAKING KARA LINDSAY
