This absolutely needs to be a real show. Or at least, Jeremy Jordan and Jonathan Groff absolutely MUST play romantic leads together in a show someday.

"I played Peter Allen and got arrested at intermission." That line did me in. Kudos to the insane, demented genius who came up with that line. Although I am a little embarrassed that while I immediately caught Laura Osnes and Ashley Spencer's gags, it took another viewing to realize Sierra Boggess was Miss Spencer's duet partner. Attentive I apparently am not.

All the negative comments are making me feel so sad and are among the worst that I have ever seen. I can't believe that other people are liking them too. How does a person come to have such hate in their heart? Surely each person has not had a bad experience with a gay person like Putin did in the play. It makes me wonder will there ever be a time when homophobia is a thing of the past? Can't people just accept being gay is not akin to being a paedophile, and not worth getting so impassioned and disgusted over. All it is, is the desire to love someone of the same gender, nothing more. There are many other awful things in the world to condemn like corruption, abuse, people being denied their basic human rights. Why can't we all be more vocal against our disgust against actions such as these. I understand that I have now left myself vulnerable to a wave of mean comments. But please don't reply with anything too mean, I am not here to argue, but just to vent my confusion and sadness at the way things are.

So here's the text of the law, per the translation at policymic: "Propaganda is the act of distributing information among minors that 1) is aimed at the creating nontraditional sexual attitudes, 2) makes nontraditional sexual relations attractive, 3) equates the social value of traditional and nontraditional sexual relations, or 4) creates an interest in nontraditional sexual relations." So basically you can't tell kids that being gay is okay. And that's not okay.

Love you, guys. Thanx for making this video. The situation in my country is well... bizarre;-) The only one phrase crosses my mind, whilst thinking of all that, and it belongs to magical Jean Cocteau: "I understand strongly, the ideals of termites (like russian ideals), adressing the majorities, judging the inequality which relates to one of the most elevated ones... But this do not stop us from considering, that certain fruits and certain flowers will never be eaten and scented but by the reach..."

The issue lies partially in the law, but not entirely. The main issue is the homophobia the country displays- its not fitting for a country as civilised as Russia has become. It is not right to discriminate, and regardless of traditions it stays that way. Protect minors all you wish, but at least let the minors know they'll be safe should they realise they are gay.

This made me laugh. This made me cry. I was doing both usually. Great work by everyone involved ! Bravo ! Something as common sense to us is apparently not so easy to digest for others, just yet anyway. It honestly can only be good that the real target audience is here, despite the sad, backward comments (if they're trying to protect children, they might want to start with PEDOPHILES who are VASTLY HETEROSEXUAL). It might actually mean they've watched and are stewing. Stew can turn out good, given time.
