Loved to see Millie leading the brothers in the challenge dance! They all look like they’re having so much fun!

[@hoshiuno7530]

I want to see a remake of 7 brides and 7 brothers. I want my friends and family to watch the 1950's movie but they refuse because they say its too old and i'm 15😢😢 so it would be cool to make a remake version

[@kylehancock1458]

Hang in there, Barnaby. In a few years, you will be old enough to rent whatever old movies you want to see. Also, you can find movies available for free check-out at a local library.

[@anjolieanne1288]

I’m 14 and this is my favorite musical, maybe one day I’m hoping for a remake as well. My parents groan whenever I watch it or play the soundtrack cause Ive played it a million times. You’re not alone!

@@kylehancock1458 yes

@Nathan Freundl I 💯 agree

[@BirsenÖge]

Those were the days,so much happy days❤❤❤

[@kylehancock1458]

The high energy dancing from the ensemble makes this video worth watching! 1:30 Also worth noting the live BBC Concert Orchestra revealed at the end. 4:35

Funnily enough, the original title of the movie *was* "A Bride for Seven Brothers", but the censors didn't like that too much for some reason....

[@cristincik91]

The original is sobbing women, but they thought no one will go to a movie names like that so they tried the A Bride for Seven Brothers

[@marylandsmann1175]

It was sobbing woman. Then a bride for 7 brothers. The. Became 7 brides for 7 brothers.

There is Michael Ball!!!! YEA! Great dancers!

"They were actually going to do a mashup with the cast of Book.of Mormon. It was going to be called Seven Brides For One Brother..." Mostly awkward silence. Made me laugh. (And not the joke.)

[@ainemairead4542]

So some of the people making the comments really don't have anything better to do than, passive aggressive bullying....

[@marylandsmann1175]

The girl who sang going courtin was hard to listen to. Nice voice but held each note too long. No liveliness like the jane powell original

[@kylehancock1458]

I agree. The first line should be an easy breezy rendition of: "Goin' courtin', goin' courtin' ... Oh it sets your senses in a whirl."

[@nycsguy]

I agree, too. I don't know the singer's background, but it reminded me of what happens when an opera singer tries to sing a number from a musical. Over-enunciation made her sound unrealistic.

[@kylehancock1458]

@@nycsguy ... I think the real problem is that this is a British pronunciation of an American show. I presume the actress is British and cannot get past her British pronunciations. (For the record, I am an opera singer who does a lot of musical theater, as well.)

[@nycsguy]

@@kylehancock1458 I didn't mean to paint everyone with the same brush. I've heard some opera singers who do well with musicals, but I've heard some that just can't.

[@KarlWarden]

The choreography from the uk tour that Patti Colombo directed and choreographed is way better than this one. But I'm partial :) love this show!!!

[@ainemairead4542]

Karl Warden you must be one of those passive aggressive bully types.

[@KarlWarden]

@@ainemairead4542 maybe look up what passive aggressive means because my comment was very direct and pointed. This choreography is not good. And I said it point blank.

[@uofc57]

This Millie’s American accent...just...yikes

[@christopherreichart9193]

This movie must be On Disney +
