[@BroadwayGirlNYC]

Here's a laugh-free version of George singing MITB yesterday! And to quote George's tweet this morning, "@BroadwayGirlNYC’s MITB upload game is on point. ❤️" Hope you love!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn2clqaebtl6oLM

[@Fledermaus1313]

So everyone's complaining about the laughing woman and she did annoy me too - but i was more impressed with the fact that George Salazar was not disturbed at all. He's a phenomenal actor to not even show the slightest flicker in expression when someone in the audience breaks the tone of the song so loudly. His singing and acting is wonderful.

[@toxicstarbot6701]

Did you mean :Michael in the bathroom, but every time he says Michael in the bathroom, There's a woman laughing and I want to punch her, but feeling nice, so here's some advice, listen up BIOTCH! STOP FUCKING LAUGHING.

[@ugiyboy853]

What's the ladies name i just want to talk

[@travis4266]

That’s this video

[@ellie_wgnr5571]

Even if she was laughing at something unrelated, you don't laugh during someone's performance unless it is explicitly a comedy song

[@octopleb9370]

Ellie_wgnr this is TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY a comedy song

[@natalieencio7316]

It is though. Just doesn't have a lot of it

[@cdadon7579]

there's one comedic part and that is to set up for the emotional part immediately after.

[@Rognik]

I'd say there's comedic elements, but the line "Michael in the Bathroom" isn't really that funny, yet she laughs at it almost every time. Laughing at "No, you can't come in" is fine, but the chorus really ought to wear off after a bit.

[@jaredbuckley8477]

Nobody like its at 666

[@sammers3826]

*George visibly crying* Lady: AHaHAhAhaHaHAHa I'm a BITCH

[@adriannaparker52]

Veggie Baskets I had the same thought

[@ellen603]

I cried with him

[@osobadbrewster]

The laughing is so annoying. I don't think this is a song to laugh to...

[@harpskid]

She probably thinks its funny because shes been in that position before or knows someone who has.

[@aether413]

Ony still, that position isn't funny. It's humiliating and scary

[@harpskid]

Maybe now, but later on when you look back on it it might not be.

[@rivermicah]

As someone who's been in that position many times, it's never been funny to look back on, and it hasn't been to anyone else I know

[@harpskid]

To each their own I guess.

[@alexisdeana7712]

STOP LAUGHING ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SAD JESUS CHRIST

[@reeda6994]

Well the song obviously has some dark comedic affect to it. I mean, just singing "I wanna dance with somebody!" or something weird like that is supposed to make the audience laugh or at least feel upbeat but pitiful at the same time.

[@zoei.s.4782]

+DoodleBuns but sHE DIDN'T LAUGH AT THAT LINE

[@reeda6994]

It's just an example. Its not JUST a sad song, it had comedic aspects to it that this woman happens to acknowledge XD Like in the end, when he's pouring his heart out into the yelling and screaming, Nobody is laughing, because that's the climax of the song.

[@lexiv8194]

+DoodleBuns actually, she did laugh at 4:08 when Michael has literal tears streaming down his face and is having a full panic attack, but for the rest, I agree with you.

[@ItsCamille735]

[@SpruceNStone]

The lady laughing is only excusable if she were looking at memes on her phone. Though it seems like she laughed every time he said "bathroom" so really she must have the mentality of a 13 year old, "haha, bathroom! thats where you poop!"

[@amy04aims]

Sûgäry Côlä More like the mentality of a 2 year old but some 13 year olds act like that lady at my school

[@saritab28]

that is offensive to 13 year olds

[@-crescent422-4]

Sûgäry Côlä They don’t know it’s a song about an anxiety attack at the beginning. Heck, some of the lines are MEANT to be funny. So, please, stop hating on her. Most of the people in this audience had no idea of the context behind this song.

[@hiyouriinu]

*looking at memes on her phone*

[@alyssajones2746]

- crescent422 - I see that. But he did give a little context and you can tell the song is about him being alone. When I heard it for the first time with no context, it was on shuffle on my friends phone and I didn’t listen to musicals and such, but I still knew it was about him being alone. But anyways, don’t mean to sound rude or defensive. Let’s hope she was just looking at memes when she was laughing through the chorus 😂

Side note. People think teenagers are so immature for getting emotional about songs or they call us immature, this a song about someone who just got shat on by his best friend and his having a panic attack. This is the most teen relatable thing ever, AND WE DONT LAUGH AT THE FORWARD TITLE OR THE WORD PORN. My parents laugh it, like they not hear the lyrics? Okay rant done

[@m1lkyways]

Am I the only one that found it completely disrespectful when the lady was laughing? I don't know what she was doing wether she was laughing at the song or someone else but that's just rude. If she was laughing at the song totally worse then someone around you because what George is singing about is an emotional topic to a lot of people. I know there were a few ha ha moments like cable porn or he must be a stoner but if you're not laughing at one of those moments then don't. If your laughing at someone around you pay attention to the song no one came to the event to watch you laugh. Sorry just had to get that out.

[@koreyk0]

Okay, so the first line when he’s singing about himself in 3rd person is definitely a part of the comedy in the show. Yeah if she kept laughing but she understood it as the song went on

[@marnif2592]

SlurrrPei have you even read the other comments 😂your not the only one obviously

[@imthe-1891]

SlurrrPei irk he’s having a panic attack in. The song

[@michaelmell8729]

I think you're the only one. Pretty much all the other comments on this video are talking about how PLEASANT the laughing is!

[@eef3044]

I completely agree with you. I personally have started to get at little abandoned my my two friends because they started dating. This song means slot to me and her her to just freaking laugh at it makes me feel like she's laughing at me and my problem... Also sorry just needed to get that out

[@Mementomoriia]

ok tbh, this song kinda describes what social anxiety feels like

[@ManyMari]

Ophelia M. it's him having an anxiety attack.

[@Mementomoriia]

i figured as much. i myself struggle with anxiety and the way the music swells and the urgency when at the 'knock knock knock' bit really comes off as an anxiety attack

[@nia7509]

Mari Newton Art I have anxiety attacks and it is true. My parents don't believe me but my disorder is getting worse. I see a really bad future.

[@reisbob7786]

Yeeesh. You should probably tell your parents or someone else like your friends. You can tell us tho :) :/

[@SydSeeholzer]

the lady laughing really only laughed during the chorus parts, i don’t know what’s up with that. this is indeed a sad song, but there are some genuinely comedic moments in the song where she didn’t make a sound ??

[@peytongonzalez4433]

IKR, that shit pissed me off. Like, she'd laugh inappropriately and then something like "I wish I'd stayed at home in bed, watching cable porn." SOMETHING KIND OF FUNNY would happen and she'd be quiet like wtf

[@goblinteeth538]

This might just be the type of song but the first time the hyena laughs George closes his eyes as if trying to tone her out and he prob thinks she was laughing at him.😭

[@colleen1313]

[@coffeecappuccino1877]

AnAverageAnna The fact that your profile is a duck with a knife makes this comment better

[@rainecloudky1836]

After the lady first laughed (first-second time) you can see George doing some nervous gestures like holding his hands together and grabbing the sides of his pants So lady if I go and see George live and he happens to sing this song and I hear your hyena laugh- I don't care what they think I am getting up, walking to your chair, and slapping you across the face In honor of George

[@sarahmaxwell8342]

Rainecloudky i think he does the hand gestures because michael has serious anxiety and he's on the road to a panic attack but that biTCH DESERVES TO BE SLAPPED

[@johnfirgust2914]

That won’t honor George bitch its just a person laughing idk why people are being such dickheads about it

[@molly4857]

Actually George does the hand gestures and all of his performances like whatever he sings Michael in the bathroom he does the movements that someone would do if they were having an anxiety attack

[@watermelon-yo5pi]

I swear to god the person laughing is probably some white mom who does not understand the fact that his character has social anxiety who is literally going through an overwhelming panic attack after being abandoned by his only friend of 12 years in a bathroom at a party of unknown people, who probably thinks its funny because "haha, he's in a bathroom! that's a funny scenario! kids and their drama haha"

[@koreyk0]

DarkFall no she doesn’t understand and that’s okay because she learns as the song goes on

[@bippersquipper5878]

Korey Hansen I think se finally got the memo after the part where "Michael" had a panic attack when someone was knocking

[@gr00vydead1te]

DarkFall yep

[@hahafunny4538]

[@paolamiranda9215]

God

[@returntothedirt]

Hell, he probably used that fucking laughing as fuel to his performance. How many people make fun of people having anxiety attacks or episodes? Hella annoying to hear her cackling the whole time -_- Stunning performance, absolutely breath-taking and excellent piano work. As someone who wants to be on stage one day its incredibly inspiring!

Why do you laugh it's a depression song :'(

[@Tustin2121]

It's half depression and half absurd, dark comedy. Though I must admit, listening to him is one thing, but watching his face here pushes it more towards the depression side. :(

[@liameg528]

He really pours his soul into it.

[@squidneythesquid2487]

Some people, like me, laugh sometimes in bad situations. Like is a friend is hurt and they are struggling or such I would probably laugh, not because it's funny, just I do. And she might have had a friend cracking jokes, who knows, maybe it's a crush, something of the like

[@imstillhere2587]

+Squidney the squid same. Its a defense mechanism.

Okay... Ignoring the woman laughing at the song. This performance was stunning. It showed the emotion and displayed the true panic he was in. And he was so into the song to. He was shaking and crying... this was a stellar performance I'm so glad I found this.

it's a sad song overall but before it gets really emotional parts of it are kinda funny....

[@srahbby]

+lu W. True, true, but it still had an emotional note to it from beginning to end (ESPECIALLY THE END). It just ticked me off, even if it was dark humor, it was in a sense rhetorical. Not sure if that makes sense, but whatever. The lady laughed and you can't take back a laugh, but I do wish she could.

Bethanee Hollingsworth I personally like George's a lot more because he really captures the passion of the character. Will's performance, though pretty good, doesn't really give me the feeling of an anxiety attack or all of the emotions George expresses.

[@bethaneehollingsworth4476]

I agree! I think Will put a more comedic effect to the song, and George's, like you said is much more emotional and is basically a sung through anxiety attack, though I adore both of the boys!

[@eyesopod]

theres also the added fact that George is the original performer

[@dezidk]

george captured more of the emotion, but will made it clear the character was uncomfortable in the party.

[@wolversheens1323]

WAIT, WILL ROLAND PERFORMED THIS TOO? OMG!

[@dumplingking39]

[@kirafisher3172]

george killed this even with the hyena in the room. this is why he is the king. (also i love seeing george smile after singing this song just to make sure he’s okay because he’s that freaking believable)

[@Aragorn7027]

Who else just wants to give him a big hug at the end of this! Like omg I'm crying he's so amazing at preforming this and showing how social anxiety can make you feel breathless and ahhhh

[@Asyipyip]

The fact that he's able to be so emotional and intense without ruining the sound of the song is phenomenal and impressive as hell

[@Applecatstime]

Asyipyip I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT? ITS SO GOOD

[@solanine_xo]

Asyipyip It brought me to T E A R S

[@maximeat4825]

[@katienoelh]

Asyipyip George is phenomenal.

[@tictac4063]

Asyipyip someone said it

[@emmabaker6291]

whoever's laughing can personally fight me like actually square up

[@rosemarie2661]

The way he leans the microphone during the Whitney part....

[@CJ_Neil]

4:55 In my opinion, possibly the greatest sequence in this whole show, and is made even better because of the extra emotion George puts into it, like the foot stomp.

[@brutusbabes9512]

that girl was the only one laughing...yet she continued what's funny?!?!?

[@obscureshawty]

WHO DID HIM WRONG AS A CHILD WHERE DOES HE GET THIS EMOTION

[@rowanmoses6480]

[@stabzen8282]

I love how passionate Joe Iconis plays

[@-crescent422-4]

keii And how passionate George Salazar sings!

[@bonniefront9252]

I love how half of comments are about the lady that was laughing XD

[@veesarchive1382]

XD It's a song about anxiety, lady laughs, almost everyone is mad. Including me lolol

[@lapislazuli9294]

Lady: *Annoying Laugh* Me: OKAY... ITS JUST A MISTAKE Michael: *Crying While Singing* Lady: *Laughs* Me: *Grabs Knife* Wanna die? .-;

[@laratoya7088]

his vocal talent is no joke, like the way he can go from loads of power behind his vocals to singing quietly almost instantaneously is amazing, and even in his quiet notes hes still projecting, and that emotion like BOY WHO DID YOU WRONG HOW DID YOU LEARN TO SING LIEK THAT

[@ConfusedGirlButSmartDude]

The piano is really into it

[@zastic1]

emochromo I mean he wrote it

[@potato.pancake]

emochromo Dang you’re right the piano is just so into it I didn’t know pianos could feel emotion so well.... just kidding I know what you mean I just wanted to be that annoying person also that’s Joe Iconis he’s absolutely incredible and also the writer of the bmc songs so it would be a little sad if he wasn’t into it

[@kerobize]

emochromo he wrote it so I hope he's into it lmao

[@welchsgum7195]

He’s so expressive

[@LumosVeil]

emochromo That’s *Joe Iconis,* he’s the dude who wrote the musical.

[@teenangel4426]

I love watching Joe in the back, he's so into it. 😂

[@luvl3tter]

He puts so much emotion into his voice and movements. It's so beautiful! The lady laughing got on my nerves. This song is about social anxiety and depression. I understand that there are some phrases that a person without knowing the meaning of the song would laugh at...but laughing at George while he cried? That's too far.

[@_phaedra_1817]

Everybody talks about the laughing lady, but what about Joe JUST ROCKING OUT ON THAT PIANO. And how George just stays in character throughout the whole performance, even with the laughing women.

[@destroyndecay]

I love how literally everyone is uniting to hate this woman God I love this fandom

[@blondiesaband]

That laughing hyena aside George is such an expressive singer He displays the emotions of a panic attack perfectly It's phenomenal

[@valentinasanchezp.8637]

who wants to join me in fighting the lady that keeps on laughing

THEY DID FINGER GUNS AT EACH OTHER IN THE END AWWW

[@aamirahbhana9243]

I can't be the only person that prefers listening to this version rather than any other version because of the fact that the emotion is portrayed throughout his actions and the tone of his voice so nicely and eloquently and like god it gives me goosebumps.

[@rdklzkydd]

George's expressions and body movement and the way he SOUNDS in a live version of this is killing me. I would kill a man to see Be More Chill live. God, he does such a good job.

[@weijna]

rdklzkydd George: pours heart and soul into the song Lady: OMG SO FUNNY LOL THIS IS JUST HILARIOUS!!!!1!!!1!!

[@whiterat1927]

[@whiterat1927]

Nova Scottia Yeah but he's still super into it lmao

[@finn7583]

Honestly, this is the best show of how it feels to have a panic attack. I’ve had social anxiety for a while now, along with panic attacks, and this is a very accurate song and George salazars voice is just amazing. No wonder I almost cry every time I listen to this song.
