The Producers- Haben Sie Gehört Das Deutsche Band?/ Audition Scene

[@TheaterRaven]

I LOVE the guy who plays Franz. Amazing voice and fantastic energy. Bravo!

[@olstar18]

Good energy just wish he had a stronger accent. As much as I hate Will Ferrell gotta say he did that part of it better.

[@protector22222]

Franz accent was likely muddled for reasons. 1.its hard to sing with a german accent 2. There are hints that franz is not german but a legit crazy new yorker...

[@kevinmorgan8534]

@@olstar18 Will Ferrell is a professional, these are high school kids. They're very talented but still kids.

[@olstar18]

@@kevinmorgan8534 Have you seen will ferrel act. I will admit it is unfair to compare him to highschool kids but as I have yet to find the show performed by elementary school kids its as close to a fair match as I can find.

[@fernandomauro4666]

Bravo! Maravilhoso 👏👏👏

[@francescoamadio4311]

Really good performance by the actor playing Franz Liebkind.

[@ddburrows988]

What, is the a scene from The High School of Exceptionally Gifted Performers? Outstanding! The singing, body-movements and timing were A-1. Their talent and commitment were second to none.

[@dgoren121692]

For some reason, I have really been into The Producers lately, and I have searched youtube for everyone's version, and I have enjoyed this as much or more as the Lane-Broderick version, it's that good. Just tremendous for a high school, and glad to see that it's in New Jersey, too!

[@TheTibmeister]

This guy has guaranteed career in musical theatre I wish him well.

[@Naminegir]

Am I the only one who died when Jason Green went "Mit a bing-bang bing-bang BOOOOOOOOOoooooom"? This was beyond wonderful! If you have it, please upload the entire show please!

brilliant!! honestly the best franz performance in any amateur The Producers production i've seen... the actor's energy is spot-on and a delight to see, and he has great singing voice too :)

[@owskie1981]

So jealous that you got yo perform something like this at high school. If we had I may have carried on singing and acting!

[@lvchoralman]

Great performances by all.

[@mirrorman95]

That man is the best Franz Liebkind.

[@amiefortman7220]

This had me laughing all the way through. Fantastic work, especially Franz!

[@cloudmusic01]

this was a high school production?? Very talented young actors. And I like the writing changes too. Good job.

[@elkeweiss7897]

Your Franz Liebkin is professional quality. Kudos

[@sharpshooter9407]

Old video. But fuck, this Franz is good. I hope he got a successful stage career since this.

[@Heatherjc13]

Thank you soooooo very much for this video. I have been trying to find out what 'Franz" says to the pianist before he starts singing and yours is the ONLY video anywhere that says it clearly enough to understand. Great performance, the best I've seen that's most like the movie. Thanks again, I'm not frustrated now.

[@agenttheater5]

B flat. 2 2 time. Modulate at the bridge.

[@magnaguardia]

I love your performance guys. Really energetic. I would have paid to see it. By the way, the kid in the yellow jacket does a really good performance of "A wandering Minstrel I"

[@AdogamingKingdom]

The one playing Franz is just pure amazing. I love it.

[@kimclarke1519]

I can't believe they are replicating each costume, dance step, set design and stage direction from the movie. That's dedication!!!

[@FRANKTHRING1]

All great performances !! Congratulations from Budapest !

These guys are great!

[@moviebuff1941]

This guy is freaking talented.

[@misatange]

As others have said, Franz is amazing! Also it still amazes me that your high school did this. Springtime for Hitler and the Producers in general do not give 20 shits from King of Broadway to way beyond.

[@kgbromero]

This is such an amazing performance!

[@liberte5847]

Outstanding rendering ! Bravo from Paris France. Remember the incrediblle historical archive original MOVIE directed by the incomparable Mel Brooks ! Good evening and happy Xmas to yu all from Paris France. Emmanuel

I don't think I remember the last time laughing this hard. This is awesome.

[@timelyshadow]

Must disagree with Patton122145. This performance is marvelous. Everyone I have shared it with has agreed. Impeccable casting and boy, did he deliver. Never have I thought a Rising Star to be more deserved : )

[@arpc0027]

"The Producers" in any version is funny as hell.

[@crazyforNarnia1]

He did a good job with the song itself, but his German accent could use some work. There were a few mispronunciations in there.

[@dailyslough6402]

haben sie gay-horte is what I heard...

[@spartacustv3964]

the "German" they use in the Original Song is all wrong in the first place...

[@99lodewijk]

SpartacusTV of course, but the accent is mostly accurate. This isn't even an accent, it's an accent written out and then spoken. Not a spoken accent.

[@df446]

Relax Goebbels.

[@billd3356]

@@spartacustv3964 No, it isn't. He did mispronounce "gehort" ( I cannot type the umlaut here)", but the first guy got it completely wrong. Now that I think about it though, that lent even more authenticity that he didn't know how to perform the song.

[@ldaniel17]

My god this is amazing :o Hanz and Jason sould be on broadway.

EXCELLENT!

[@ematt1935]

Superb!!

[@spifflord308]

@Patton122145 That's funny you should say that because this actor won for best Supporting Actor in the Rising Star Awards which is a huge deal. I would like to see you post a better video of you performing this song. I understand this may be your opinion but I would like to keep negativity that isn't supported by some artistic criticism off of my youtube videos. Thanks!

[@chucknorrisgunclub2184]

It is an honor for you to be involved in this production. Standing ovation to the whole cast, band, director, dancers, writers, costume designers!!! Everything top notch! And don't forget the smooth talking cat who talked the PTA into approving this!

[@m.k.1645]

He and everyone else, no biggie. I got one when I opened a box of Capn Crunch. He was flat, the words were muffled and the orchestra was way off key. In short, this sucked. Sorry the truth hurts

[@m.k.1645]

Criticism is part of theater. If you can't take it, you're in the wrong business

[@agenttheater5]

My dad took me to see the 2005 movie version of the musical when it came out in cinemas in 2005. I was 11. And I was reduced to tears of laughter at least 5 times.

[@dippydai]

Absolutely fab this is brilliant

[@dgoren121692]

I figured this was a collegiate production, not high school. Very impressive. Is the orchestra also from Summit H.S? Glad to see a NJ H.S. perform this so well....from a West Orange native.

[@secutorclaudius]

haha, nice! i wish i was this extroverted in high school. people called me the sphinx.

This is wonderful! :) I wanted to make a video with this scene and song for audio, is it okay if I use this? It's the best one I've found.

[@mreaglesfan1995]

Nitpicking...but my only criticism is that his accent isn't consistent....maybe because I'm part German :)

[@djaevlenselv]

Christ this is good. Better than Ferrel's version!

[@VWProductions1]

It was good but come on, the accent could be better :p

[@lucasgreene1094]

djaevlenselv That is being very generous. Ferrel actually pronounced things correctly and he had a rather convincing theatrical German accent. That before you even talk about all the fucking wrong notes in the song lmao

[@richardmontoya2732]

of course Ferrel is a professional in a major motion picture, but in a live high school production, this young just brought such joy and comedy to this number. thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

That ain't saying much. But it is very good.

[@ATLmusicislove]

@Patton122145 Its not how it should be preformed in YOUR opinion! I think he did a very good job with the song :)

[@inforthekiii8840]

Gehört was pronounced wrongly. He pronounced it in a Hungarian way.

[@tenaciousshewantsthed9463]

Az milyen? A gehört az gehört németül és magyarul is. ;)

[@logangermano4155]

This was good but the script must've made the song high pitched and the students used their regular voices

[@mreaglesfan1995]

only critique I have is he should've utilized the german accent more

[@sjc4]

Mein Gott the way they pronounce gehört...

[@Blaukriton]

Haben sie die Deutsche Band gehört?
