"The Book of Rory" with Rory O'Malley: Episode 4

In the latest installment of "The Book of Rory," our host Rory O'Malley gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at "The Book of Mormon" cast's wild backstage rituals. Rory only asks you don't judge what you are about to see.

[@ganiisness]

The woman that leads fire exit keep area clear is a gift to all of mankind

[@trexthriving]

I agree

[@souluvlai]

I love you thank you so much! 😘

[@AngelaSmith0028222]

imagine if the sound people screwed up and turned on one of their mics during the ritual

[@gust0pher420]

Angela Smith imagine during turn it off "Turn it-FIRE EXIT. KEEP AREA CLEAR!"

[@missoringasm7144]

That would be both terrible and hilarious 😂

[@chaoticpoet8992]

happened once to my friend when we were whispering backstage and I'll never forget the horror

[@whymustielaine9640]

If the sound guys messed up... "Salt Lake Ci-" *klink zzz brrr shhh ah right wrong right wrong*

[@nikkipurwin999]

I love how Sal Tlay Ka Siti is playing the background of their ritual xD

[@StonkyStuff]

this is EASILY the most accurate depiction of being in a show. glad to know the attitude to local theatre and Broadway is so similar

[@missoringasm7144]

e x a c t l y

[@frankengrrl]

I want a video of Rory o malley explaining all of the things they did in that ritual

[@xXTashaBabezZXx]

So late but in Side by Side with Susan Blackwell he talks about it, it seems its mostly things that went wrong and they added all these "checks" before Turn It Off to minimise mistakes haha

[@thomassomeone4868]

I watch this like every other month. I need "Fire exit: Keep area clear." On a t-shirt.

[@paigeprice7943]

FIRE EXIT! KEEP AREA CLEAR! I love that so much

[@niamhcunningham9144]

Rory O'Malley and the rest of this cast are my heroes

[@DbrownMT]

I will never forget fire exit keep area clear

[@hannahhamiltrash6455]

Actual friendship goals lol. Wish my friends were like that

[@zachary746]

Wish my friends existed

[@Missjksgirlynoodles]

I don't even know what just happened but I loved every second of it :)

[@caitlinhsu9074]

RORY = FABULOUS

[@bricheese7512]

AWW POPTARTS IS DOING THE RITUAL SO CUTE! Also HEY SHAWN

[@piperrobertson6725]

DURING RORYS SOLO DANCE NIC ROULOU IS SINGING IN THE BACKGROUND #IJUSTDIED

[@connieconconnor]

I knowwwwwww

[@carolineg.5944]

"HEY SEAN"

[@Thisismyusername227]

LMAO FIRE EXIT KEEP AREA CLEAR

[@thomassomeone4868]

Fire exit, keep area clear!

[@Hildaglitz]

this is literally my favourite video on the internet ever

[@eddiemarriott]

Was anyone else singing "Fire exit. Keep - area - clear" a few hours later?

[@Monk018_CS]

I was laughing my ass off... especially the very end

[@Shmiguelly]

I love the contrast between the silly shit they're doing as the beautiful ballad is playing in the background.

[@maddiec1310]

Nic has really been doing this show for forever (all over the world too). He was in the OBC as an understudy and I saw him in April 2017. He's an AMAZING Elder Price

[@NoahTheSprout]

"what's your favorite song? "Well...it's hard to explain....there was a behind the scenes blog of The Book Of Mormon musical and they all sung this song about a fire exit-"

[@sarahhalasz2258]

This is the greatest video on KZbin. Period.

[@CrumbsFreed]

Why isn't "Fire exit, keep area clear" on iTunes?!? It's literally my favorite song ever.

[@farah214]

Rory's dance from 1:09 - 1:18 is what i'm currently living off. oh and justin's ripple and biceps from 1:33 - 1:38.

[@faridlmiftahul]

farah omotosho you forgot the part when rory get a tie spank 😜😜

[@gust0pher420]

did the girl ever go to the bathroom tho

[@mog04]

For 24 years I have trudged through my life feeling lost and confused. At times I didn't know where to turn, and I thought about giving up many many times. It was determination that pulled me through. Determination to fill the void in my life that so desperately needed to be filled. Just when I was going to finally give up hope, I came across this video. Now my life is complete :D

[@alarbu17]

THE FIRST THING THO IM

[@alarbu17]

I watched it 6 times to watch each person do it

[@lilysmith3688]

I honestly just had the BIGGEST FANGIRL moment after this, crying and everything...

[@abi243]

Fire exit keep area clear is my favourite song

[@theatricallyspeaking]

I will never be able to look at a fire exit the same way again. And I am so happy about this.

[@acatcalledronald]

THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT VIDEO ON KZbin EVER.

[@yasmindevlindean7948]

justin does a body roll in the handshake ahahahaha

[@kitam7164]

1:09 is just me doing a one man show in my room blasting the bom soundtrack

[@lemonzest107]

🤣 same though

[@DavidRigano]

Can Vestibule Cabaret be a spinoff? Please! I don't know how many times I've watched just that segment!

[@emilia123zz]

How do they remember all those moves, amazing

[@zombiegirl626]

this is the best thing i have ever seen.

[@saffhastings7532]

Omg I lost it at the hey Sean one XD

[@Ella-qy5vm]

This is one of my favourite videos to ever exist. That ritual was SO cool

[@LittleSockMonkey]

Okay, Rory, you can stop being so perfect now.

[@damianisadude484]

And now ladies and gentlemen! Introducing: FIRE EXIT THE MUSICAL

[@OurlostIsland]

who thinks Rory O'malley needs his own show, just like josh gad and andrew rannells.

[@connieconconnor]

Yes

[@miritskeen]

[@alexbam2006]

THAT RITUAL WITH SAL TLAY KA SITI AT THE BACKGROUND = PERFECT! hahaha

[@Fannywikstrom95]

[@threesugarssevensugars]

[@jaylenebihag1886]

[@leilanihanaike]

[@clairegaylor8788]

FIREEXIT! KEEP! AREA! CLEAR!

[@jamieamundell]

[@xxdarkknight420xx2]

[@xavierbranch2583]

Maia is hilarious!!!

[@Pilly1112]

Hands Down! Best Video!

[@hannahhamiltrash6455]

My only goal in life is to be like the Book Of Mormon Cast in every way shape and form

[@BottleConcreteBlond]

For some reason, I find 1:39 - 2:30 hysterically funny.

[@omelette4604]

[@BroadwayJunkie131]

Fire Exit, Keep Area Clear :)

[@liameg528]

Why are these vlogs so short compared to the other ones on Broadway.com?

[@PresidentShum]

Is it just me or it's impossoble to stop staring at Rory's eyes.

[@neifsjdms]

FIRE EXIT KEEP AREA CLEAR

[@vdp527]

[@Ava-j5n6z]

[@AprilElfeclipse]

[@vcabrera5396]

[@Shtuff4Avacadoes]

We need to make this happen. I would certainly pay 99 cents for it.
