The crescendo at 3:05 is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. Not only is the volume increasing but the openess and energy of their voices catalysed ny the energy Phillipa inspires her colleagues with to convey meaning. Sooo good 🎉🎉😢

[@deenadallas2802]

Watching this in May makes me happy, and Phillipa Soo is definitely one of my favorite vocalists. Her voice makes me smile and cry.

[@AshleighBee]

I love her!! She’s killing this role already… as usual

[@bwaySHO]

Can’t wait for the full production! This teaser was a delight!!!

[@user-ri1si9tl4u]

[@bwaySHO]

Yes! It’s one of the things that makes me SHO excited!

[@pcadamson]

I have always loved the choral arrangements on this song. Can't wait to see it live!

[@bwaySHO]

[@cherrynbo]

[@ScarletHuntress76]

Can’t wait for the cast album to come out because I know this song will be on my playlist plus Phillipa Soo is killing it as always EDIT: I just found that Valerie Torres-Rosario is in the show not only as an ensemble cast member but she’s also the understudy/swing for Guenevere

[@Flutergirl1124]

You answered the question that was nagging me the entire time I could see her clearly! I was like "Why does the girl in the yellow shirt look SO familiar?" Now I know why. That makes me way happier to know than I expected.

[@antm64]

GUENEVERE: Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That lovely month when ev'ryone goes Blissfully astray. Tra la! It's here! That shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts Merrily appear! It's May! It's May! That gorgeous holiday When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad Will be a cad! It's mad! It's gay! A libelous display! Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes, Ev'ryone breaks. Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes The lusty month of May! Whence this fragrance wafting through the air? What sweet feelings does its scent transmute? Whence this perfume floating ev'rywhere? Don't you know it's that dear forbidden fruit! Tra la la la la! That dear forbidden fruit! Tra la la la la! GUENEVERE & CHORUS: Tra la la la la [etc.] GUENEVERE: Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That darling month when ev'ryone throws Self-control away. It's time to do A wretched thing or two, And try to make each precious day One you'll always rue! It's May! It's May! The month of "yes you may," The time for ev'ry frivolous whim, Proper or "im." It's wild! It's gay! A blot in ev'ry way. The birds and bees with all of their vast Amorous past Gaze at the human race aghast, The lusty month of May. CHORUS: Tra la! It's May! The lusty month of May! That lovely month when ev'ryone goes Blissfully astray. Tra la! It's here! That shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts Merrily appear. It's May! It's May! The month of great dismay. GUENEVERE: When all the world is brimming with fun, Wholesome or "un." GUENEVERE & CHORUS: It's mad! It's gay! A libelous display! Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes, Ev'ryone breaks. Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes The lusty month of May!

1:37 i see thomas sander’s friend valerie in the yellow shirt ❤

[@Youtube221B]

Is that Valerie Torres-Rosario in the yellow shirt?

[@KorAnos1]

It sure is!

[@ScarletHuntress76]

I knew I recognised her face from somewhere

[@amandanelson339]

I don’t believe it’s May at all but I want to,that being said they sounded amazing just needs some gusto.

[@mylesgarcia4625]

WAKANDA-LOT!! 😄

[@janyel4everr]

IS THAT ARIANA GRANDES SPODGE BOB

[@Lumotaku]

lots of people in there dont look like they belong in dark ages england.

[@mikurtis1767]

The music style is also totally inappropriate for that time period and setting. What's your point????

[@islandhorsetaker]

found the racist 😒

[@ak-ww1tk]

In case you didn't know, Camelot isn't a real place, so they can make up whatever they want. And anyway, in musical theater they often focus on skill rather than looks. If race has nothing to do with the show, then they often do colorblind casting since talent matters more. Or at least, it matters more to people who care about quality. And this has been a tradition for decades so you seem quite behind on this. Lea Salonga, for instance, is widely considered one of the best Eponines ever, despite the character being white and she being Asian. Luckily the casting people didn't care and gave us one of the best interpretations of the character ever (not to mention her heavenly voice). I'm so glad some people understand that talent is what really matters 😊

[@shannonholly155]

Ah yes, because non-white people hadn't been invented yet. In this very real historical setting with the wizard Merlin.
