Shelton High School- Bring it On!- Dress Rehearsal- Act 1

[@caitlinmarie2779]

Campbell was amazing omg i’m just so irritated Danielle wasn’t black. That’s part of her character, but the voice was good

[@madisonyard6131]

Ya, I agree. she like tried to sound like she was and it was really annoying.

[@orangutansoda]

they probably go to a white school so it was hard to find black actresses (which IMO then you shouldnt do the show at all but what can ya do?)

[@genandgigisworld8241]

Maddie Finkel It’s fits more if she’s black but I understand.

[@jadevictoria1458]

It actually never specifies that Danielle is black, just emphasized on ethnicity

[@bn_rose_gold]

Jade Victoria the problem is that Danielle has dialogue in the show where she calls Campbell a “white girl” as sort of an insult. So... Danielle being white ruins the continuity at certain points in the show. Does not take away from the actress’s talent at all Now... y’all think a white Danielle is bad? I did this show at my school last year, and I played La Cienega. Me. A white, cisgender female. See now that just ruined the entire character. I had a blast, but it was a dumb choice on my directors part.

[@michaelduffy6358]

For everyone saying that they’re yelling, the mic isn’t supposed to just make you louder, it’s supposed to enhance you’re talking. You can’t just whisper into a mic, and expect it to make your speech sound perfect. There still needs to be energy and power, The actors clearly have a lot of energy, and I could make out every single word they said (which imo is the most important part)

[@sparkyboomboomboi7051]

Michael Duffy the guys did good cause the spoke out but the girls were projecting too much

[@kaylasummers2213]

This is great, and the girl playing Campbell killed it!

[@user-lo7pe8cj4h]

Campbell was great! She looks like a Disney princess too 😍🔥

[@user-lo7pe8cj4h]

Danielle should be black tho...

[@ryanrenn4815]

man I wish our ensemble was this big!

[@cottoncandiies7269]

This is amazing, I watched this for the first time yesterday and I'm watching it again today.

[@aimeepierce3955]

Welcome to the thunder dome, But,YOU KNOW YOU KNOW LIFE CAN BE BEAUTIFUL!!

[@simplyrose2282]

Aimee Claire You like the heathers as well??? I love it

[@maryhollifield8257]

Yes Heathers!!!!! I love Heathers😂

[@nate8364]

Are you sure this is just a high school production?!? The quality of this is amazing. Everyone has amazing vocals, and surprising good acting (Most of the time) This is seriously amazing though.

[@katiesedlock5218]

yes shelton high school

[@paytonlutz7178]

9:32 HONEY YOU ARE AMAZING HOLY-

[@livc2497]

wow ok i do cheer and their stunting is super good! They must have actual cheerleaders in the cast

[@giselaliarib]

So good! But it sounds like they are yelling. Is that just me?

[@katiesedlock5218]

our camera is hooked up to the camera

[@aislingk180]

Gisela Rib they have mics attached to their faces. I do theater and that’s what we do

[@bowtomemortalscum6292]

They are not yelling they are projecting number one and number two they have mics strapped to their faces. In theater you learn to project, not to talk normally into a mic. And also why of all things to you point that out instead of the amazing jobs they did in general. I honestly think that this is the best dress rehearsal I’ve ever seen. They’re were barely any mistakes, which is a very rare occurrence in my rehearsals. So I think they did amazing

[@tomiharv]

It’s called projecting, even though they have mics, you still need to be loud in theatre

[@haileybalzan794]

yeah they’re projecting, but there was no dynamics like everyone was yelling all of their lines it got pretty annoying

[@oscarjenkins-wing304]

you dont have to yell into a microphone....

[@Gaming46]

Oscar JW me at my schools pep rally

[@itsnunya539]

IKR annoys the hell outta me

[@meredithknight8192]

not trying to be rude but a lot of directors tell you to project in mic because it just enhances your voice, sorry to come off as rude!

[@tomiharv]

It’s projecting, in choir and theatre you need to be loud no matter if you have a mic or not. They aren’t yelling, it’s making sure the voice is heard clearly throughout the entire audience.

[@elysekaras9898]

Honestly your ensemble is amazing in this! I wouldve thought this was the broadway version!

[@issyb5085]

Elyse Karas I agree it is really professional for a high school

[@TheManjaNetter]

Elyse Karas yeah the ensemble is outstanding. This is overall unbelievable quality for a school production. Loved watching this.

[@eviewong7519]

The vocals and cheers are insane 😍

[@vida3732]

Ok but Skylar was amazing period

[@bean6281]

AWESOME I LOVE THIS MUSICAL.!

[@izzynixon]

What’s with all the negative comments this is amazing

[@hawkii744]

The girl who plays Campbell is so pretty holy

[@isabellegriffith1039]

I saw it in real life it wad amazing and hilarious

[@eviepoppin1272]

isabelle Griffith me too

[@abigailnoelmortensen482]

I love this show!! I'm a seventh year cheerleader. My school takes our team very seriously. I honestly remind myself a lot of Eva. I made the Varsity team as a sophomore without cheering my freshmen year on JV. This production of the show is one of my favorites. Great job everyone! Did y'all use your school cheer squad for some of the more elite tumbling and stunts? They look amazing on the stage/floor.

[@katiesedlock5218]

Yes we had a mixture! We had 13 real cheerleaders.

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Katie Sedlock hi did all the girls use their own hair as surely a high school budget isn’t great

[@katiesedlock5218]

we had 4 wigs in the show 1. danielle 2. campbell 3. eva 1 4. eva 2

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Katie Sedlock cool I’m amazed you had the budget not to cast to description, can’t find any agent for Ana Frentress as she’s amazing but hard to know which character is which.

[@swatchdog9094]

34:36 yeahhh that doesn’t work here lmao 😂

[@Monica1399-2]

Holy crap Bridget yelled the whole time

[@camilamoyac]

What’s the name of the girl who played campbell?? She’s really awesome

[@katiesedlock5218]

Here name is Ana Frentress

[@Redboy-bm8gr]

This is the best version I have seen!

[@aislingk180]

They aren’t yelling they just have microphones

[@77PacerStudios]

Great performance!

[@ligitaz]

“YEAHH yeAaAaahH”

[@regzlots]

it annoys me that campbells go-to pose is just putting her hands on her hips but shes an incredible singer!!!

[@ryanrenn4815]

Randall has a pretty nice voice, but he should be a little looser when he's delivering! he just kind of stands there.

[@JoshuaGrossman24]

A white danielle......bye.

[@malz8051]

I think that one ensemble members who slayed all her solos shouldve been Danielle because she was amazing and its less offensive to have the white person trying to mimic Danielle

[@deyvahnoliver3518]

Me and my friends making a dance to this for drama club

[@goodjobeli]

I mean it's great but....why is Danielle white. It's a big part of her character that she's black.

[@lovemariah0531]

Some Crazed Nerd maybe a black girl either didn’t audition or just wasn’t fit for the role

[@genandgigisworld8241]

Some Crazed Nerd I feel like this is one of those schools with not many black peoples and the ones that are there probably weren’t interested.

[@jaelynnkeating9020]

Gen And Gigi’s world there’s literally a whole bunch of black girls in the background and her voice sounds alto and danielle is a soprano. they could’ve picked someone else. my guess is that they play favorites, like most highschools

[@jameshalloran4968]

Jaelynn Keating but you don’t go to this school. The ones in the background might not be as strong just try and enjoy it!

[@jameshalloran4968]

Jaelynn Keating but you don’t go to this school. The ones in the background might not be as strong just try and enjoy it!

[@hawkii744]

And the girl who plays skyler

[@Bellableani]

ok tbh if you lack the diversity to do a show that requires diversity then.... don’t do it! the forced accents and attitudes of the actors is offensive and it impedes their acting oof

[@shadowgame0630]

Then are we not allowed to do these plays here in asian countries where its overwhelmingly majority asian

[@MiaNicoleEhrlich]

totally agree

[@jameshalloran4968]

I don’t think that it matters. In professional shows ofc it does but in a high school it really doesn’t. They’re having fun they’re doing it well. They’re not discriminating they’re working with what they’ve got. Danielle is never specified as black just ethnic so chill. And tbh they’re good.

[@bn_rose_gold]

You think a white Danielle is bad? My school did this show last year, and I played La Cienega. Me. A white, cisgender female. We didn’t have enough guys. But I mean... at least our Danielle was black. We got lucky that the one black girl we had in our theatre department was extremely talented

[@lizzied.9262]

i’m very late to the party 😂 but we’re doing this show next year and there are some people think we don’t have enough but i think we have enough to cut it

[@izzynixon]

Incredible😍

[@hannahryan9678]

so the girl playing Danielle was clearly cast because wow she is an amazing singer and Danielle is a hard part, but the whole backstory to Danielle is that she’s black, so I’m kinda uncomfortable with someone white playing her....

[@hannahysela]

It’s the blaccent for me...

[@TheVahlareeKak]

Skylar tho👑🙌🏽🔥

[@evaxx1212]

whys the bridget screaming

[@draco3754]

It’s the yelling for me

[@Niqhtmusic]

I loved Bridget but when Kylar was sick I couldn’t I had to mute it

[@sarahhayley]

what’s the line that kylar sings right after “we meant to call” in phone calls?

[@sienaashton5959]

sarahhayleyx “Channel two was here to watch us cheer”

[@manumaria3916]

dancing was so bad 😖 cheer was pretty impressive though i will say. also the girl playing danielle, who ever casted her had no idea what they were doing

[@hawkii744]

All of them actually

[@Icy_Tails]

my fellow broadway fans trying to find some decent musical numbers

[@verapatchell1339]

😀🇨🇮

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Those at 18:46 such obvious wigs can’t in a low budget theatre they cast correctly if that’s the accessories they afford

[@katiesedlock5218]

this is a high school production

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Katie Sedlock then why not cast to description like low budget productions usually do, it’s like for Annie your less likely to have a actual redhead but your saying there were no real blondes to audition and that a brunette with a bad wig better fitted the part, if I had a low budget project I’d try better to use the talent I had to look realistic.

[@katiesedlock5218]

Hi you obviously don’t know this show. The character Eva has to be a brunette to start and then during act one come back out with the same exact hair as the character Campbell. Our wigs are from Bobbi Pinz, he is not low budget, he is very well known. Please keep unkind uneducated comments to yourself. Thanks

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

Katie Sedlock sorry I know that seller and he tried to flog me a wig that was plastic, Broadway did it more convincing and why do both the girls need wigs it’s just lazy casting when your budget is so low and I’ve seen the show even though it’s nothing compared to the movie.

[@entpanimatics8070]

It’s highschool

[@ronmichaelsjr7380]

danielle was the best on stage

[@caro6724]

WHY.IS.DANIELLE.WHITE.

[@randyscott2728]

Amber

[@zakkxx1]

Campbell was very good but I can’t watch the entire thing sorry

[@nigerianprincess777]

ho they gonna give that black roll to a white girl. tf

[@solochristo65]

As talented as they may be.....I wouldn’t last to the end of this kind of show. Plus I don’t think this is a play for a High School. More for college and up. Sorryyyyyy

[@bevmercer313]

Solo Christo it’s literally a show where they’re all in high school ??

[@livdelgado3038]

Bev Mercer to be fair, so is Heathers. And that show is typically done by actors 18 and up do to mature themes. This show has difficult choreography, so i understand why they would say that.

[@genandgigisworld8241]

Liv Delgado the choreography has nothing to do with college or high school it matters who can do it.

[@jennabreedt5197]

just no. please no.

[@JoshuaGrossman24]

Skylar shouldve been Campbell

[@_hayden_johnson]

NO THIS IS HORRIBLE, EVERYTHING IS AWFUL AND WHY IN THE WOOOOOORLD WOULD YOU MAKE DANIELLE A WHITE GIRL. DONT DO THIS SHOW IF YOU HAVE TO DO THAT.

[@itssaje9115]

Hayden Johnson they literally had a black girl in their cast and they didn’t cast her lol

[@mayathebish_]

For real! It’s like, Danielle’s being black is such a large part of her character. I was so confused when that started.

[@aimeepierce3955]

According to my choreographer (we’re doing it) to get the licensing you have to have a black girl to play Danielle.

[@katiesedlock5218]

That is completely made up

[@nate8364]

The choice to make Danielle a white girl is a confusing one. Especially if you consider they has to change the word "White" with "Nice" because it would make no sense if they didn't. But you can't deny that the vocals in this is outstanding for a high school.

[@IDunnoButt]

this is giving me a headache

[@amandamaria8507]

Your prob here for the “my name is skylar” so here ya go 2:43 ✨💞
