Theater Kids Be Like

[@MilesMorales827]

The vocal warm up brought a tear to my eye. Bet you’ll make an amazing background tree too!

[@EliseEcklund]

thanks, i'm honored to be the background tree

[@MrHam-fq1gu]

​@@EliseEcklundI have to say, there was someone in our last play who had that reaction and everyone wants them to stop doing theater

[@Watanimates]

@@EliseEcklund Every role is important!

[@js8303]

As a theatre kid, I can confirm this is exactly how we are

[@EliseEcklund]

me too

[@Down_Fall]

could not say it better myself

[@T4814C]

Yup!

[@PowderChan-qr4ru]

Same

[@DanceWithB3]

Omg same😅😂

[@Dom-dq8ru]

As a theater kid, I feel very represented in the projects that Elise puts out

[@Down_Fall]

this is so freaking true i was in a play in october and me and my friends went to ihop🤣

[@TheMeggieShow]

Agreed

[@koedinger1]

Yeah like it’s my entire mayor so this was halarious 😆

[@TheCreator-zx4lb]

Yeah

[@Shannonagains]

There are 2 kinds of theatre kid. There’s the t.k who throws a tantrum bcz they don’t have the lead part, and then there is the t.k who has seen every MUSICAL EVER. I’m #2

[@rasmusjunge4079]

As a theatre kid I can confirm that we are exactly like this and I truly appreciate someone that finally understands us🙏

[@oliviaelderberry9423]

Funny!! 😂😂😂 I'm in theater but I'd say only a few of these things are true for me!

[@SonicGlitchYT]

Yeee

[@TheCreator-zx4lb]

Yeah

[@portcullisgames7763]

This is is exactly how we are like, NOT EVEN KIDDING

[@theatre.swiftie22]

Exactlyyyyy😂!!

[@diegovlogging]

as a theatre kid that’s in an upcoming Seussical musical, this is totally 100% accurate.

[@aly_0.1]

that's wild, i'm in an upcoming seussical performance too, lol

[@vicent_doesnt_care]

My first show was suessical kids, so that makes me happy~

[@diegovlogging]

@@vicent_doesnt_care we’re high schoolers doing Seussical JR lmao

[@T4814C]

Same.

[@justClaya]

My first show was Seussical! What role are you? Break a leg!!!

[@Kureemy]

I remember that in school, my classmates were making a musical. I was the one who hated all of the decisions they made (like casting bad singers as the main characters because they didn’t put up auditions), but never spoke up because I wasn’t the one in charge.

[@justClaya]

As a theater kid who is about to have the opening night of my show tonight, this came at the perfect time and is 100% accurate. Thank you Elise!

[@tomjohnson4922]

hope it went well

[@JustMeandMyPaperDragons]

I had opening night same day!!! What play did you do?

[@CLOUDCRY_WCUE]

I also had one!!!

[@justClaya]

@@JustMeandMyPaperDragons Secret Garden! I played Lily :)

[@justClaya]

@@tomjohnson4922 It went awesome!

I’m no theater kid but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this hilarious video. Keep it up!

[@vicent_doesnt_care]

That Vibrato is amazing.

[@EliseEcklund]

THANKS

[@depressi0n721]

I think she would make a great background tree 😢😅

[@EliseEcklund]

thanks

[@BoredomEdits-ms7vv]

Ye :D she wont even need a costume

[@portcullisgames7763]

😂

[@sarahstewart7680]

The dog loved your performance so much it had to take a bow!

[@MackenzieGraceOfficial]

This is 100% accurate 😂 thank you so much for showing it to the world! 💗

[@zachwyles03]

I’m not a theater kid, but MAN THIS A MASTERPIECE!!!😂😂😂

[@teddyyeti]

Same

[@HydroniteTB]

5 seconds in and it’s already very accurate. Had a couple theater kid friends and they said that exact thing in the exact same way, sing songy and all

[@rachelcolomb]

The "Sound of Music" bit was actually solid vocals 😶

[@EliseEcklund]

THANK YOU

[@Down_Fall]

true

[@rachelcolomb]

🥰🥰@@EliseEcklund

[@jordynequals7515]

The dancing to give someone something so simple is 100% accurate (I say this as a theater kid)

[@charitymoritz898]

I'm not gonna lie, that vibrato was actually amazing.

[@EliseEcklund]

thank you so much

[@xRandom_Bozo]

So much talent elise. Outstanding. Still bummed that you didnt get the Shrek role though

[@Lylas_Life_]

This is completely accurate amazing video Elise 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻

[@theatrelover2]

I'm a theatre kid, and this is 100% correct

[@I_like_food101]

Ok but why did I actually relate to the Hamilton part 😂 I'm the homeschooled theater kid who has to SIGN UP for a play and the type to just already memorize all of my character's songs and then just practice songs from other musicals you will probably never even do 🥲

[@beatrixjackson4334]

every single word you just said is literally me 😅

[@Ping-a-ling]

Don’t forget memorising every word i the script

[@Lylamckee09]

You just described me

[@Felixsfavouritefruityogurt]

As someone going to be in a musical this is exactly how theatre kids are

[@ImPolish_]

You being able to do all of these things without even snickering truly is a talent lmao

[@pigglelovesmc]

the apple juice handing was just magnificent never have I seen such beauty

[@darrancoyle8394]

Good to see you, Elise. Hope you and your family are well.

[@Simply_Barbie]

As a Theatre kid, you are the only person that has us 100% accurate… you literally can’t get better than this 😂😂

[@iampuzzleman282]

I hope you're having a great holiday. Thanks for all the joy you bring to everybody

[@russs7574]

Great video, Elise....love the Sooby-Doo sound effects.

[@yoshe2]

as a band kid, choir kid, and theatre kid, i see this as an absolute win

[@zg09131]

I play guitar so I want to try to make this joke for other fellow guitarists to relate to. Me: Practice makes perfect! I can totally get this! Also me when my brain doesn't listen to what I said 0.001 seconds ago: How dare you play the wrong chord! Your darn fingers are in the wrong spot. Play the right fret! Strings are out of tune, let me just tune it back. Oops! String breaking time! Tell me, relatable?

[@crombo9399]

heyy same!

[@HarrysIrishPrincess]

I was in choir for about 4 years in school

[@flamen8643]

Being a theater kid, I can confirm the accuracy of this video

[@Imnothere349]

The 30 minute presentation hit me hard!!! Also this is literally me especially the MOM LOOK WHAT I LEARNED AT REHEARSAL and then I fail to do so

[@stephenclaridge5654]

0:10 Love how there isnt a background tree number 1 2 3 and 4

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

I had friends who went to high school with Lynn Manuel Miranda, one of whom is a theater kid and they probably knew each other. We probably would have gone to the same parties... if I had been cool enough to go to parties... 🎉

[@infnitvlt618]

*Lin

[@PreppysephorakidDTI]

Fake comments part 1

[@TeamSssniperwolfandlexiR]

As a theatre kid, this is 100% accurate

[@Rosagave]

Thank you for representing us theatre kids!!!💀

[@lilieg9135]

That dog was truly a great actor. Also i think you will make a great tree :D❤

[@sarainguyen5136]

So true!! And as a theatre kid doing a Lin-Manuel Miranda medley and a Lion King musical, you did a good job representing us 😂

[@seronimo__7735]

I was theatre kid adjacent in high school (pit orchestra ftw) and I don't think the theatre kids geeked out about Hamilton. They were much more eager to do impromptu presentations on obscure musicals you've never heard of.

[@elliotgoldman3862]

I feel seen

[@Brook4676]

This made my day tysm Elise!

[@Someoneontheplanet658]

The dance number is so accurate 🤣🤣🤣

[@evelyn-elf]

2:19 (DDLC flashbacks)

[@FlapackandGregsPS5]

100% accurate especially the Hamilton and defying gravity ✨✨

[@RockyThe3rd]

Yo, that kid at the very end was IMPRESSIVE! Elise did alright I guess

[@SonicGlitchYT]

2:11 SHE FINALLY SMILED

[@CaptsuneMiku]

2:18 THE DDLC BACKGROUND IS EVERYTHING

[@dragonsblood23]

Never forget The Cup Song that someone would attempt in between rehearsals

[@DancerLovesBooks]

No but actually I’m a dancer and I do that exact same thing in the kitchen. Every step is ballet. So true

[@Watanimates]

I'm a newer theater kid (I've only done one play) and the only one that relates to me is 1:52 Edit: it's 3 months later and now all of these relate to me

[@mgbfun8600]

Thank you this is so true I am a theater kid and this is what theater kids do!!

[@shaniavázquez]

This is the most accurate representation of a theater kid! Coming from a theater kid herself 😅

[@triciaizzo4825]

As a stage crew kid with many theater kid friends I can confirm they do this also do people know that trees are not people unless They have a singing role and there not just there to be a tree right

[@Bowinwj]

Yeah I know a theatre kid, Elsie just knows how to represent people so well

[@andrelmor]

You are the spitting image of my therapist! Now I go to the sessions and laugh at her. Thank you

[@Robloxplayer1p]

2:27 that was the best thing I ever heard in my freaking life

[@Life_Of_Abbyy]

Apparently, my schools production is having the title “SHREK THE MUSICAL” as 2024’s production plan and will be performed during the concert 😂

[@mettaton-x]

As a theater person I relate

[@EliseEcklund]

glad u can relate

[@flarestarsz]

As a theatre kid, I can confirm that rehearsals are often until 10pm. Also, as a theatre kid, it has come to my attention that my local theatre has a LEGITIMATE SHREK MUSICAL. Which I'm terrified to even think of doing. But I'm sure it's funny-

[@Creative_Chef_kid]

💀

[@annabass4223]

1:02 My hero

[@mikecoffee100]

LOL good way to end a week is by watching one of these videos , Thank You

[@greghannibal]

Elise has the most wholesome cursing.

[@iampuzzleman282]

Christmas comes early with this video thank you. Always get happy when I see a video from you

[@sophiadimascio4812]

I’m getting ready for the opening a musical im in. I am Wednesday in the Addams family and I am really scared. This is perfect timing and it made me laugh so hard :D

“I’m warming up “ **SKREATCHES VOICE!**

[@adecentlygoodname]

My day is complete. Thank you for this highly entertaining, highly heartfelt short movie. The first time I tried to get a a role in a play and become a theatre kid, I got cast as ensemble

[@Harperluvsxmas]

As a theater kid this is accurate

[@UunoPulkkis]

as a theater kid i think this is a masterpiece

[@misshollis7547]

As a theater kid, I can confirm that this exactly how we act all the time

[@PirateJelly7]

I wish I had a friend like elise 😄

[@Star_Dragon973YT]

I love Hamilton! I also did a project on him!

[@unknown-p1o]

OMG i saw her smileeeeeee Its so pretty dont worry at the exact time on the vid 2:12

[@superJ5858]

As someone who does theatre but not musical theatre I can confirm this is why I don’t do musical theatre. While it’s mainly because I can’t sing. But also this.

[@VacantKey]

I know so many theater kids that this is just too accurate

[@SparksFly.13_89]

2:11 No, this can't be... SHE SMILED! Ladies and Gentleman I Announce ELISE *SMILED AND LAUGHED*

[@otterwithadarkside4422]

As a theatre kid with a show coming up, this is so relatable!

[@StarGaming-mz9ni]

As a theater kid who is in two plays right now this is dead accurate

[@cureaura2023]

2:40 the actual video: 10 pm The captions: 1 pm

[@DylannIsWeird]

I can’t help that we’re like that we just are like somebody asked me to grab something I do a performance, and then I give it to them, and my friend is like do you want to get some ice cream Saturday? No, I can’t get ice cream. Because I have I have nutcracker practice 😤

[@Rainy36]

THEATER KID FOREVER!!

[@alt-888]

As a theater kid that literally had our closing show today, I was like "Oh shit wait do I do that?"

[@AndyMcKinley811]

Theatre kid here, this is so true. I actually just got the cast list for a musical I tried out for today, and I am ensemble.😢

[@dannypineappleade5338]

1:40 whaaaaaat we would never

[@Amy-zr5mn]

It's so cute that your dog bowed at the end! Oh, and you did a good job on your part, too.

[@EthanSchmethan]

As someone who went to high school, I can confirm they do indeed have theater kids.

[@h20friend17]

She smiled in this video! 2:13 😂

[@Baltskakis]

As a theatre kid, I agree:,]

[@otherversionsofme3702]

elise, love, you had no right to call me out like this

[@GorillazGang23]

Im a huge theatre kid and this is wayyyy to accurate 💀💀💀

[@phantomwars-es1zq]

I can confirm this is how we act. I just started Aladdin. I am also gonna see wicked soon. One tip you missed the fact that we quote lines of music or dialog from musicals even if we are having a perfectly normal conversation with someone who doesn't know musicals all that well. I also did 4 other shows before Aladdin

[@Zimiiiwow]

I'm a theater kid

[@EliseEcklund]

congrats

[@Pancaykz]

2:12 - 2:17 She smiled!! 😁

[@DanicaMcComack_Jesusfreak]

This is the best thing I’ve seen today!🤣❤️

[@MrChopsticktech]

Your videos are fantastic! You are so unique, you stand out from everybody else!

[@MuzanJackson341]

yes. so true 0:50

[@Skyecloud13]

I have a Theatre Kid as a friend and this is really accurate

[@iamliv42]

Literally me 😭

[@GrandPappyGeorge]

As a theatre kid, this is both 100% accurate and somehow completely inaccurate at the same time. At least I’m not a Swiftie theatre kid wants to act out the Eras Tour or whatever.

[@GrandPappyGeorge]

We also have all the Wicked memorabilia and spend our time backstage making a weird death version of all the songs and talking about Shrek. We are so fun.

[@ShantanRepublicOfficial7893]

As a theatre kid, I will confirm this is incredibly relatable. Also, I recently did a musical so I can confirm that we did once have an extremely long rehearsal. My least favorite part about being in theatre is that if you have to dance, run, sing, and almost bust your vocal cords, you still have to act like you aren't tired.

[@saraiii3]

All I can say is yes. Just yes. Just yes.

[@ravenpearl44]

I have several things to say about this video. 1. As a theatre kid myself, I FEEL PERSONALLY CALLED OUT!!! 2. Elise, it's imperative that you spell theatre with an "re" at the end instead of "er" because all the theatre geeks will get mad 😉. 3. You're awesome, Elise. I love that you make content that's hilarious and that gives glory to God. Your music is great, and you don't just do things for the likes. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll get 1 billion subscribers way before Mr. Beast 😁
