[@maxmadness7341]

[@williamhowe6737]

[@alenemarie1726]

I like that you practice the lifts before the show! That’s so important for safety

[@StarryNite_Art]

“I’m dead inside” *DANCING INTENSIFIES*

[@Nabtastic]

Omg Will showing up and JJ saying "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" was a ducking jumpscare

[@tegtots]

Dying at your Fergie impression 😂 you are amazing!

[@marshallturner6085]

Hey, I recognize you from the Five Forever video of you as Laurie! We did Little Women at my HS this last weekend and I played Laurie. We used that Five Forever video as inspiration for our choreo lol

[@rocksfilms1388]

I've seen so many of you're shorts on my for you page and I'm very thankful that they were there because you're awesome 😎

[@Meeee12346]

I love the energy 😂

[@user-g0hst]

[@MajesticWorld19]

Not the Fergie impression 😂

[@kallen868]

Can't wait for SMASH!⭐

[@anxieturt]

JJ you always slay slay

[@Stheditz]

I love your videos you are such an inspiration to me. It has been my dream to be on boradway since I can remember. I have made it my goal to be in at least one show. Watching your videos supports my dream that maybe one day I could be on Broadway as well. I have spent hours upon hours researching about acting, but I have no hands on experience. If you see this, could you do a video on tips for people wanting to get into acting or for their first show?

[@phantomwars-es1zq]

I am going to New York for my school and a school trip, and we're gonna see back to the future. Maybe I will see your cast

[@angethekidreader2385]

WILL WILL WILL WILL WILL YAY

[@THEATREKID-101]

[@MaxxManzi]

Are you going to be preforming the day of the Tony’s?

[@gamingsloth9480]

Hi JJ am eithan am 12 years old and am suprised but i have been announced in two movies and a west end show with a agent on the side please can u request me any tips on singing and being pro etc

[@KAZAM707]

Wait I'm so confused. How'd you get involved with the smash production.. you were in a smash thing like a decade ago

[@Capybara-o5o56]

Never changes from drama club in middle school to literal broadway rehearsals you always are acting like fools in rehearsals

[@-Charlie-A-]

I want this life so so so bad

[@squido-fg9ue]

this screams privilege lol. just hope you remember the only jobs most people can get is factory labor

[@peterlosee4606]

Why are you mentioning this here? That’s so random.

[@squido-fg9ue]

it is a privilege to be able to do theater, almost everyone where i live has to work in factories all day but you guys get to prance around on stage lol

[@squido-fg9ue]

@@peterlosee4606 it’s just sad. one of those jobs where you NEED to be able to have a cushion incase don’t get picked by aton of rich assholes if an upper middle classer devotes their whole life to this and fails, they go back home to their parents if i put everything into something like that and fail? i’m homeless, starving, and have no support system to go back to you just have to be in a good position to be an artisan, actor, blah blah blah

[@peterlosee4606]

Okay, but that doesn’t actually answer my question. Why did you ever mention privileges? How is privilege relevant to the video in a way that doesn’t say that you were distracted by something relatively unimportant to the main focus and wanted to complain about it? If privilege is that important, I guess I’m unaware, but to me you just seem unhappy and like you need to tear everyone else’s moods with you.

[@Preciselylate322]

How is it privilege (in the negative way) when these performers have literally trained and poured into their craft for quite literally most of their life? There is so much discipline involved and you’ve reduced it to “prancing around”? Come on…it’s not YOUR kind of work but it IS work. Working in a factory is different but not more noble or “more suffering” or whatever. Is it an honor and privilege to live out your dream?? Absolutely! Because most do not get to or don’t pursue theirs. These Broadway performers put in the blood, sweat and tears to get to where they are.
