I burst into tears when they gave Keith center stage for a bow, it’s like seeing a friend achieve their wildest dreams. The cast of Beetlejuice seems so welcoming and fun, I’m so happy that Keith got to join them!

[@taokrei]

that part!!! ❤ he's def going to take leading roles in the future 😌

[@msthecommentator2863]

I loved the hot sauce moment, it really did seem like it crossed his mind that Keith is the creator of that brand and hoped that he'd bring some, but wasn't actually expecting it. 🤭

[@jessthompson2045]

I was smiling the whole video and that's what took me over the edge, the whole crew were treating him with such love and it made my heart so full.

I completely agree!!! ❤

[@smilesformysaviour]

As soon as Keith's actual performance started I could not believe how much of his back story I could see. Carl was definitely regretting that second breakfast burrito. I could see him planning to buy the other guys pizza after the job. And I knew for certain that Carl was not a married man

[@Mydanceisnow]

[@itmekilian6471]

I think, Keith crying, and actively acknowledging how powerful the moment was, when it was over- was so perfect. it speaks so much to his character. He is a grateful guy, it's absolutely clear in his personality and the way he treated this experience. Thank you Keith, and Try family, for sharing this moment with those of us who don't have this opportunity, and probably never will.

[@sundancelad2063]

Y’all the amount of effort it must have taken to even produce this video is insane. The unions do not let anyone record a live performance, let alone post it publicly. Like this would’ve been a long talk with the producing company and unions so they can get a concession to even make this video. It’s honestly really impressive.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Whoaah, you're right! I didn't even think of that part of it! That's amazing

[@carveylover]

I'm going to take a guess since the show is closing soon and it will be good publicity they were a little more flexible. I'm still shocked though.

[@user-nz7zv1il2b]

I was thinking this too! Broadway unions are crazy powerful and have a ton of rules (not a bad thing just a fact) kudos for the team for coordinating all this

[@cplova333]

the audition process was definitely just for show and an extra video hahaha they would've had to have long discussions way before this to have keith perform. nevermind they prob had to get performance insurance, print the pamphlet inserts, have the costumes made, pay the hair and makeup people extra, so much more stuff i'm missing probably

[@lunabelletheinsane]

The also probably had to get the video itself approved before it was posted, meaning someone from the legal team for the show had to watch and approve what they did show, it's probably gone through several edits of what they could and could not show.

[@greenbeantm1096]

It comes with being an actor. It wasn’t mentioned in either video but Zack also went to college for acting. One of the tough/weird things about going to school for acting (which I’m currently doing) is knowing that anyone in your major is potential competition even once you graduate. Acting is an extremely competitive field that’s hard to make it in, we all go into this knowing that there’s a reason for the starving artist stereotype and that there’s more of a guarantee you won’t make it then you will. Everyone is obviously hopeful they will but no one expects to make it, so then seeing your best friend beat the odds and get a great opportunity you feel excited for them. It also doesn’t apply in this case but this industry is all about who you know, going to college for acting is largely just going to network. If one of your friends gets well known they can recommend you if you need to fill a role last minute or if a show is struggling to find a stage manager, so having friends succeed in turn kind of increases the chances you will too.

One of her 3 sons had a once in a lifetime experience and she couldn’t be happier

[@psychxmania]

EXACTLY!!!

[@schuylerbullock7920]

I love the guys, but I’m so glad that Keith is the one who got the part. I know it’s a life long dream of his and my husband and I were smiling so hard seeing how happy he was. ❤️

[@fathomstars]

I can't believe how kind this cast was to Keith coming in for the day. So genuinely moving to see them be so generous with him

[@laurenb3853]

I've enjoyed a lot of Try Guys content over the past decade, but this is by FAR my favourite. Seeing Keith so genuinely happy, and having such a positive experience was so moving. You don't always realise how connected you are to the people you watch, but I was honestly just so proud and happy for Keith!

[@asikelelwendlovukazipezisa5838]

Agreed!

[@charlotteras6209]

Same!

[@Al-Vr-al]

Just realized that I've been watching them for 6 years now, every single video they've made Damnnnn

[@MaryDownpour]

I can't get over how overwhelmingly nice everyone in that production was about this. They were so supportive without making a big deal out of it and it's just so sweet. I'm so glad Keith got this experience. Really teared up at the end. Loved these two episodes

[@katie1822]

yeah i agree it was so sweet to see his dreams come true

[@strayyystayyy]

I know this was probably filmed before the whole situation happened but it’s incredible to see the guys be happy despite that. They truly deserve it, Congratulations Keith

[@Yelhsa0703]

I didn’t expect to cry, but here I am. So proud of you Keith 🎉

[@angie0718]

Literally tearing up at Keith's joy. You can just feel his excitement, nervousness, and all out wonder at being able to do something he has always wanted. By the end I was actually crying with him.

[@Jaime2830]

I know, I cried too. So happy for him.

i’m so glad keith got to have this moment, ik he said he was getting impostor syndrome but he really deserves it!! and when he started crying and the end and rachel hugged him, i started crying too

I've never not once come close to crying at a Try Guys video but this one really got me for some reason! I guess just that you could tell how much it really meant to him

[@alejandraleon1356]

I was crying too! I'm just so happy for Keith and The Try Guys in general, wow great video

no when rachel hugged keith crying telling him she was proud of him i started crying. she is such a proud mom and i love that. also this really made me miss doing theater

I love how easily Keith endeared himself to everybody on set and how welcoming they were. It really brings a musical fan to tears ❤!

The minute Keith gave Alex the hot sauce I died a little because it was too adorable

[@kmbarnett1200]

[@CroobieLetter]

They were both so genuinely stoked! My heart!

[@AryaKaiba]

There is so much that made my chest fill up with joy watching this video. Seeing Keith radiate happiness and be so honored and excited to be part of a broadway musical made me tear up! He was also HILARIOUS, and is so perfect at knowing how to have fun and joke around with the different cast and crew members in the video in both a funny and respectful way for just hours before showtime, incredibly Conan-esque. And the cast and crew themselves, from the main producers/directors to the lead performer to the stylists, all seemed so kind, welcoming, and frankly hilarious and great personalities themselves. I'm just so happy to see this video and fortunate to have been part of the Try Guys community to feel all this on their behalf. My heart is so full

[@xSilverxshadowx]

Alex's genuine excitement at Keith's hot sauce gift was so precious!

[@loganlovesdubstep]

It was so cute, and dude has a wall of hot sauce

[@SisterSuffragetteUSA]

I’m an Assistant Stage Manager for a regional theater on the west coast, and I just wanted to let you know how meaningful I found this video. Live theater has has a tough time coming back from the pandemic, so the try guys showing the world what we do in such an honest and compassionate way really really helps. Way to go Keith, you earned that moment 🤗

[@rc31802]

I hope this helps live theater continue to come back!

[@gnareg]

Are you sure you’re not the assistant TO the regional stage manager? Sorry for the dumb joke

[@whatsupimlouie4670]

“Coming back from……” WE ARE STILL IN THE PANDEMIC, even if the United States is trying to pretend otherwise. It’s genuinely frustrating to hear people nonchalantly mention the pandemic as if it’s in the past tense. Just know that if you say shit like that, you’re also saying the lives of people with disabilities or compromised immune systems don’t matter & you are engaging in eugenics based policies created by a government that cares more about rich people getting richer than engaging in basic policies to avoid the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Basically if this were Germany in WWII, we know how you would react (any that would be ignoring what’s going on around you and continuing your life bc you feel like it.)

[@pheonixxxrose]

I'm going to go see a show !!! Thank you for this!!

[@Blackaar]

I’m sorry, who? Asked

[@piotsa8898]

i can't believe i cried at the end of this video, but seeing how lovely they were to pull Keith into the middle of the stage and how much it all meant to Keith really moved me. so happy for you man

[@lilllygolden]

kerry butler is the most fantastic human, every single time she’d talk to keith i just couldn’t stop smiling

[@dasuqarts974]

Honestly I'm so glad it was Keith. Like I know Zach and Kwasi would've loved it too and many of the comments on the last video were talking about "Eugene would've definitely won if he was there" and so on and so on, but this feels like so much Keith's thing and you can hear how badly he wanted this as a stage performer. Good ending for me.

[@eleonore6204]

and imagine if it had been Ned!

[@louisdead6761]

I hope they do more videos like this! Id love to see all of them perform in a musical at some point

[@jumpinjoint]

keith was the ONLY choice honestly, it’s like he’s in his domain, totally in the element

[@MariaT-95]

Tbh I think it was predetermined that Keith would be the one on stage - considering his costumes were fitted etc. :)

[@BandGeekSquadron]

@@MariaT-95 Realistically, they probably sent the costume manager all of the guys' sizes ahead of time, and the actors for Mover #1, #2, and #3 would most likely swing for one another if they needed to borrow one of the smaller sizes for Zach/Kwesi.

[@kennie727]

I didn’t think I was going to cry but as soon as Keith started tearing up I broke, I’m so proud of him

[@sissysassy1805]

Ik! I was surprised at myself too!!!! 😭😭But that was a really touching moment

[@jessicahewitt285]

I totally cried too. He is such a pure and genuine person. I loved this for him

[@justynablackforest]

Completely

[@MissyRose94]

I never realized before how into acting he was, but he sounded soooo exciting about doing more of it. He seems so happy, and he deserves it.

[@AmaezingGrace]

I would love to see Eugene design and make a Halloween costume. Probs would be unfair to the other contestants, but try guys try to make Halloween costumes sounds good to me :)

[@benjaminnebenjamin6033]

ONG YESSSS ✨✨✨

[@mirofeya]

He was really close with Ned and Ariel, I think this crushed him the most and he will concentrate on his other projects for now and eventually will leave TryGuys, I think

[@NaliaDanger]

Seeing Zach and Kwesi so genuinely happy for Keith warmed my heart. Even though they didn't get to be in the show, they got to support their friend. And Keith, well, his happiness brought tears to my eyes. This might be the best Try Guys video yet.

[@libbynunez1355]

I got so teary eye when Rachel ran to hug him and cried with him. That’s a friend

[@cutthroatcare]

Honestly, this shows just how amazing everyone involved with the Beetlejuice Musical are. Everyone seeing how much utter *joy* Keith had to be there, the complete excitement he had for everything they had to do down to the littlest thing, the laughter and the smiles and the friendly joking all around was just utterly magical of them to put forward. They could have been quietly annoyed at an interloper. They could have been kinda standoffish to this guy who does 'inferior' KZbin content. But they took the Tri Guys as the professionals they were and still had so much space for fun. I wish I could see the Beetlejuice Musical to show my support of them doing something like this. I wish I could tell them directly how much seeing people in entertainment being so sweet and supportive inspires me. But I hope at minimum they see this video and know we love them taking care of our favorite 2nd Try boys.

[@bowtiepotato554]

THIS is why I love theater. Ignoring the outliers, this type of community you can't find anywhere else. My heart is so full after watching this video. I know I'm super late to this, but congratulations Keith. He deserves this and more!

[@charitywilliams7505]

Stop I literally started tearing Up; this is my career path and I really respect try guys for understanding what bway performers and auditionees have to go through. I also really appreciate Keith’s words saying he doesn’t deserve it but he definitely did; all of them did . But that disclosure really was pure and made me that much more happy for him that he got to experience that! ❤

[@gapeachforever2327]

Phew. Hearing the tears in Keith’s voice made me bawl. I loved how Zach and Rachel supported him and helped him celebrate this incredible moment. This is one of my favorite Try Guys videos ever.

[@ellenkinzer4783]

Same!!

[@matiascooke1452]

I love the professional atmosphere behind the scenes. Like, Keith was a visitor while everyone was doing their job. He wasn't the centre of attention. He went though the whole process just as any other actor in his role would do. No-one overreacted towards the fact that he is a famous youtube star. Everyone just working and focused on that. The whole custome segment with the wardrobe supervisor... like, Lee's attention was placed in doing his job, not acting for the camera. Great video

[@alli3067]

thats whats great about these type of try videos, you get to see people doing what they know how to do while ttgs take care of the making a video part

[@MaliaAbayon]

THIS COMMENT! Yes, theater is an EGO free zone where the "smallest" characters are JUSt as important as the leads and the tech crew!

Agreed, although I did genuinely laugh when they asked Keith how much privacy would you like to change 😆His response was everything I expected lol
