[@galll_0375]

[@nicadquartz]

I've never seen this musical - just this song - but this is my favorite rendition. Other people seem to lean too heavy into the psychotic aspects of the character in this scene. I've even seen it done really well, but it ends up making JD look a bit like a charicature. This version is scary because showing the range of emotions is more real to a breakdown - less cartoonish (despite the musical theatre parts). If you care about someone in this kind of state, those vulnerable moments are what help draw you in even though it may not end well.

And the crazy is so there, but so is this hint of desperation for Veronica to come with him, and I don't know, a genuine horror that she's dead. I've seen a lot of actors *sing* this song, but you are truly the best to *act* it out and sing it. Really wish I could have seen your performance! Added: Many rewatches just *add to it!* Holy crap.

[@oxiiacid]

You've got to appreciate not only Forrest and his amazing portrayal of emotions, but also the amazing symmetry of the set. Where J.D. enters, when the students simultaneously enter the stage together. And the lighting! The dim red lights in the school letter, and *especially* when Veronica is found hanging. I can't tell if she's high enough it won't hurt her neck, or if she's standing and swaying on something, but this works because of the selective lighting in the closet! I love it, I love every part of it. Good job!

[@practicaldreamyr]

Totally agree, I watched the entire production and the direction and symmetry displayed throughout the performance really is impressive. I'd even go so far as to say it's an improvement over the original off-B'way/West End staging. Truly one of the most cohesive "Heathers" I've seen.

I have found art wtf. The emotion displayed by the actor who played JD was RAW, I literally have no idea how else to explain

[@acesworld7782]

kimberly chavez it’s almost terrifying.

[@trash_can_speak3348]

[@murderbunni]

This is my favorite version of JD. The sheer emotion put into this performance is incredible. I've had this on repeat for the past few weeks honestly. Amazing job!

[@brooklynprescott1435]

The vocals in this are insane!!!!

[@casey8088]

okay uhm wow my new favourite JD of all time liked and subscribed

[@ForrestFiliano]

thanks so much :)

[@sarahcatehatley6202]

that was the MOST BEAUTIFUL, most INSANE, most TALENTED ACTING I've ever seen on this song. When he screamed "Veronica!" I got chills. It was so loud and so meaningful and the fact that you could bring your voice down to such a controlled almost agonizing tone afterwards, oh my god forgive me I'm dying. Phenomenal job

[@userMarsh12]

WHY THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

[@practicaldreamyr]

This video popped up on my suggestions list; it turned out to be my rabbit hole into the world of Heathers! No idea how I missed it before but I'm so glad I was introduced to the show through your incredible performance here. Now that I've had the chance to watch several different actors in the role, I have to say that I'm absolutely obsessed with your particular depiction of JD. How talented you are to be standing toe to toe with the pros who are 10+ years your senior, and honestly, in many ways I believe you eclipsed them. You treated the role with sensitivity and nuance; I believed every word and can really tell you did your research to make him a fully fleshed-out human being. Your JD is beautiful, sad, and terrifying all at once. Love love love your performance and wish you all the best in your future artistic endeavors, the world of theatre needs more nuanced actors like yourself to help bring these characters to life! ♥

[@gomes9817]

This dude going absolutely feral on stage, mad respect

[@muna3302]

1:49 that pchw pchw pchw with his facial expression sent me, like he looks like it’s a joke! like a little kid. that makes it so much better because that pchw talks about blowing up a whole school! super psychotic

[@miniisa189]

Que incrível sério- 🌷

[@emnajmel9041]

I just have to watch this every day for my day to be complet M OBSESSED

[@chocolate9747]

This man licked the plate CLEAN. Literally left it all on the stage. I am definitely not into theater, but I definitely have listened to the performance like ten times in a row.

[@ForrestFiliano]

i absolutely love this first sentence. thanks so much for your kind words here ☺
