2018 Jimmy Awards Medley #3

[@rebeccaschwind3916]

THE HIGH NOTES IN "I HATE MEN" HAVE ME S H O O K

[@amberfirexx9]

they honestly kinda did those last two girls dirty making them sing with each other like that, no one else had to share their performance or compete with someone singing the exact same song

[@Rachel-qm6ek]

Throwback to the year they had 5 Millies and they put them all in the same medley

[@patriciajune5]

Astrid Holly there another separate competition that determines who go to jimmy and both of them won their category in the region which they performed at their school. So both of them did same role but at different schools and I believe same song too in regional one

[@nalabees]

@@patriciajune5 I'm guessing they're aware of how it works... I think what they commenting on is the 1:1 battle style they sang in, instead of letting them get the moment to sing alone, like every other nominee. since there were only 2, they could've been put in separate groups. Singing against another competitor could've went disastrous, luckily it didn't for them but the potential is there. They've done this in previous years but the way this duet was done made it more of a note for note competition.

I lost it when Eponine sang "pretending"!

That transition into "Children Will Listen" LOL 😂👍

[@drawnathan]

The girl that played Eponine would be an amazing Eurydice

[@TeahRenzi]

AHHH THANK YOU!

[@drawnathan]

Teah Renzi Of course! I loved your performance!

[@taliamayo2139]

she sounds a lot like eva noblezada, which makes sense bc she played eponine too before hadestown!

[@TeahRenzi]

Talia Mayo Thank you!

[@DanSatter]

Totally agree!!

[@crazygirls28713]

Okay but that Baker’s Wife was TOO good-easily the best actor.

[@LaurenLaass]

She’s from my town! She’s also an amazing dancer. I remember being in a show with her and she was in the chorus. It’s amazing how much she has grown.

[@wenfaiwhwja8777]

she’s my frienddd

[@ainsleynelson3717]

the eponine’s voice reminds me a ton of eva noblezada’s!!!

[@DanSatter]

Totally agree!

[@HermioneLMS]

Absolutely killer Baker’s Wife.

[@wenfaiwhwja8777]

she’s my frienddd

[@tierrathomas2694]

The Katherine from Kiss Me Kate is an incredible actor and the Amalia on the left sounds just like Laura Osnes

[@TheJordanWestfall]

Maggie Kuntz, you were robbed of a finalist spot. Absolute star.

[@layla.williams__]

I agree. It's hard when you have an older character, but her talent is obvious.

[@yona4121]

These women were so good!! I really loved these costumes too! Dolly's was lovely!

[@j.j.225]

I’m just saying, but Lilli Vanessi & the Amalia’s & Dolly Gallagher Levi were incredible!! Also, the Witch & the Baker’s Wife. And that Éponine’s “pretending” has me shook.

[@HeyTey1245]

Eponine, consider this wig yours. YOU SNATCHED IT!

[@graciexoxo4916]

HeyTey1245 really? That was the most underwhelming performance for me

[@TeahRenzi]

Thx so much❤️

[@jessicatucker8464]

Serious question here where do these schools get the budget for these costumes?? Back when I was in school we dyed an old prom dress from a garage sale for Cinderella and the budgets have only been slashed since then. It’s like professional costuming!

[@HermioneLMS]

Jessica Imler these are probably schools that pour a decent amount of money into their theatre programs, but the ensemble costumes almost certainly don’t look like these

[@chrisknight5263]

It takes a village to put on a show. When I've seen great costuming I've seen amazingly talented and motivated Costume Moms who create adapt modify fit and snazz up costumes out of basic raw materials.

[@jessicatucker8464]

Chris Knight Chris Knight Chris Knight yea I’m going to take a stab that the Dolly, kiss Me Kate and the witch costumes are professional costumes and not made from basic raw materials by stage moms the wigs alone on some of these kids (not specifically on this video) are top quality

[@NairAthul]

@@jessicatucker8464 I think some of these schools are performing arts schools. Theater is their thing, so they probably have a whole costume and set department. Maybe they have their fashion design students work on the costumes ( that's how they did it in my highschool)

[@avanikole6584]

I go to the school Kristen Brock graduated from (the witch, into the woods)... we are a performing arts school so all our money pours into our performances

[@climbinguphill]

High schools need to do She Loves Me more often. It’s so cute and there so many good parts! Amazing medley!

[@rebeccaschlossberg1293]

are these kids getting more talented every year? DAMN

[@Munson3570156]

Skyler (Kiss Me, Kate) is working with me rn at a summer stock gig and all I can say is wtf she is so talented and so humble and one of the sweetest girls ever I had NO idea that was her

[@devindean3952]

Dolly’s costume? What high school has that amazing quality! My high school would have just said screw it wear your last years prom dress😂

[@annameyers4618]

cor jesu in stl!

[@brendaburt2203]

All of these costumes are beautiful!!

[@Sodapop-gi4bu]

Zombie Prom is SUCH an underrated show!! So much fun and SO random!!

[@shelbyresz0165]

that Eponine gave me chills, it was so good

[@KarenPatterson]

These high school costume departments have an insane budget. Granted, I went to a small school, but we were lucky if the leads had more than one new costume every year; most stuff just got re-purposed.

[@graceliz865]

This Katherine/Lilli made me laugh so hard and now I really want my high school to do Kiss Me, Kate. Also, I loved Dolly, Éponine, and both Amalia’s voices!!!

[@sarahchico6263]

Hello Dolly was the best in the medley!!

[@layla.williams__]

Maggie Kuntz (Dolly) did great! I wonder why they choose that song for her though

[@liv-bv3pl]

The Dolly is amazing wow

[@harriettbauer]

The girl whose playing Toffee is so talented and so cute! 💙💜💚

[@lenie5402]

Both the amalias have EXCELLENT voices

[@skylardenise1379]

I feel bad for Maggie kuntz she always gives such a memorable performance and has so much personality (she is dolly here and she was in the 2017 one too)

[@evedixon8586]

Those Amalia's were awesome!!!

[@whatamidoingwithmylife6769]

This medley is really really good

[@jbwmh2776]

I’m definitely a bigger fan of this medley than the other for females this year

[@sabrinamarks9375]

I participated in Dream Awards (our pre-Jimmies show) and I remember seeing Skyler performing. She did just as funny of a job as I remember that night, even though this performance she didn't use props. You killed it girl!

[@whimsicallymad7580]

For those wandering about the costumes, it is very likely the most elaborate ones were rented from a professional production. If you look closely you can see the red dress is big on the girl playing Dolly. The bodice on a dress from that time period wouldn't have been that loose on a woman's torso.

[@zoeydavis3516]

I get serious Grace McLean vibes from the Dolly Levi

[@user-tn1dy4en1w]

Zoey Davis true

[@troianbutler]

That eponine riff gave me life

[@liv-bv3pl]

Cant stop watching this vid, such a good collection of voices

[@christianmeany3068]

Toffee was amazing!

[@alexyncervantes7423]

okay but the toffee was so good!!!

[@missleahstheatrelife7483]

The witch in this group her singing voice reminds me of Bernadette peters

[@user-tn1dy4en1w]

MissLeah'stheatrelife agreed!!

[@gramps2matt]

A Chorus Line purist here What I Did For Love isn't Cassie's solo in the stage version. It's Diana's. They changed it to Cassie for the Richard Attenborough film version and got considerable flack for doing so. Perhaps this is how some revised script her high school rented assigned the solo but there are substantial parts of The Music And The Mirror which could've and should've been used for this actress.

[@hannahvanboxel8766]

gramps2matt I go to school with her, What I did for love was not Cassie’s solo in our show. There was another Cassie in the first medley and she sang Music and the Mirror so maybe they didn’t want to have the same song be sung again. I don’t know for sure though.

[@gramps2matt]

That's an interesting theory and perhaps it was a better fit musically with the other songs. But I do know that repeating solos hasn't been an issue with the Jimmy Awards medleys in the past. I saw the other medley too and that Cassie did very well. Paige appears to have the same vocal range so I think she would have done well with it.

[@lonelyforestfae]

Teah (Eponine) was so freaking good! AND she's also from Connecticut! I was over here thinking that there were no theatre awards in Connecticut that could lead up to the Jimmy's etc, but here is Teah snatching my mfing wig.

[@kermitisagod9909]

The costumes in this group though 👏👏👏👏👏

[@lindsaychase]

maggie kuntz is so good WHAT

[@emes4978]

THE AMALIAS

[@amygirl1983]

OK, but that girl playing the witch did some serious Bernadette Peters studies. Spot on.

[@joelweisberg]

How the hell do you pick one? They're all extremely talented and obviously have put in years of training. May they all succeed!!

[@karenbenedict996]

[@charolopezlolli5]

Being a person that has the whole On my own number memorized i can only say that this eponine can run me over and ill say thanks

[@TeahRenzi]

😘😘

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

Love them all, but why dress as Cassie if you don't sing The Music and The Mirror? I know What I Did for Love is an ensemble song, but it was started by Diana in the musical, so if you want to sing the song, why not dress as Diana?

[@j.j.225]

She should’ve just sang The Music and the Mirror. I don’t get it either. Why let her sing Diana’s song?

[@ionescarlet9741]

I will be attending the same high school as her, and in that version it was not Cassie’s song, and its unclear as to why at the Jimmy’s she did ‘What I Did For Love’ vrs ‘Music and the Mirror’ but the other Cassie in the first Medley did sing ‘Music and the Mirror’ so maybe it had to do with not repeating the song again?

[@j.j.225]

Ione Berken-Normally they have no issue with having two girls do the same song. Weird haha.

[@jacki8705]

they really the two last girls dirty making them sing together to be honest
