Senior Entrance - MT18 - University of Michigan Musical Theatre

[@maggiejane17]

The fact that these freshman just did their senior entrance is crazy

[@angelamallof]

Omgggg

[@beatm6948]

Yup

[@A_FatPenguin]

Why do I feel emotional even though I don't have a clue who these guys are

[@c0llapsingst4rs]

im pretty sure its the seniors performing for the freshmans to welcome them to Michigan but i could be wrong :)

[@spencer8181]

@@c0llapsingst4rs i think she means that the freshmen in this video just did their own senior entrance recently

[@TheBabsterSpeaks]

Why am i crying about a school i've never been to and will never go to??

[@Jao.m4]

"Everyone's a little bit ratchet" is the best song of all these senior entrances videos. Trust me, I've watched them all.

[@corapearlstein6341]

6:33 is now Connor Murphy on the Dear Evan Hansen tour- I saw him when he swung for Evan and he was incredible

[@eileenh4927]

I thought I recognized him!

[@joeywowdale9953]

Who is here from the class of 2021 video? They were freshmen in this video!! How time flies.

[@akwardturtle97]

The fact that Simon Longnight name drops Gavin Creel at 2:13 not realising in later years he himself will be name dropped by future seniors is such a lovely full circle moment❤

[@kateyb9362]

I wanted to cry, "we got one more year left together." And everyone's emotions afterward 😭😭❤️❤️

[@Erika-lt4lg]

someone tell me why this has me crying in the club at 1am when i’m an irish person studying law who’s never been to michigan

[@c0llapsingst4rs]

[@HEAisinmyDNA]

I always wonder if that's a sore point in the musical theatre department seeing as the writers and majority of cast were in the acting course not MT one ... 😅

[@charlottecrosby9939]

Fun Fact: Jo Ellen is playing Emma in the movie adaptation of The Prom (coming to Netflix December 11Th 2020) IM SO EXCITY HOLY SH***

[@angelamallof]

[@jeffreycornelius470]

So i just found my dream college

[@interestingmouse9961]

Jeffrey Cornelius welcome to Michigan

[@Dannyseligman]

Jeffrey Cornelius oh hey Jeffrey

[@dbrel]

No- if you want to do musical theater, try to get into one of the top two schools producing Broadway performers: NYU and CCM( Cincinnati- my school!).

[@Mandyn8868]

d brel sorry to bust you bubble but Carnegie melon is the best then Michigan then ccm for musical theater

[@freeclimb5487]

@@dbrel Hmmm. A degree from the world famous University of Michigan or a degree from Cincinnati.... Well, I think my minds made up...

[@camillemae4499]

Simon Longnight who near the beginning songs about getting in is now in the “and Peggy” cast of Hamilton in SF. He’s Lafayette/ Thomas Jefferson.

[@anne_bckmnn]

That's where I remember him from! Thanks

[@baileyanderson1390]

I saw him it was incredible! I kept calling him the green bean guy to my friends lmao(he was my favorite actor in the show) and I freaked out when I saw him in this.

[@cotqah8]

Omg ya! I just noticed, he was amazing, so glad he got the part.

[@normajosephs209]

4:26 the way some girl stood up at *RATCHET*

[@edisonthethird]

[@angelamallof]

I just came here looking for Jo Ellen Pellman after The Prom trailer :)

[@agirlag]

Love these! Crazy Jo Ellen Perlman is now in The Prom!

[@kylenebrender8611]

Yep. I know why I didn't get into their program when I auditioned. Haha goodness such talent. I got into a different program and I WISH we had done something like this. What a fun tradition.

[@MarleneRodriguez711]

I can only think about StarKid right now lmao. Now I would love to go here. Look how talented and lovely they are.

[@YesImInTown]

As a hopeful Wolverine this really helps ease the wait for my decision. Thank you so much MT18 for making this!

[@jamesnojmam4606]

Holy crap, do I wanna be in this program!!!

[@ellamei3118]

no one: the subtitles: *(general panic)*

[@thosegirls1420]

No matter how many times I watch this (which is about 30 times every day) I still get chills at 17:38 every time. Also this is just the most amazing video to ever exist ever.

[@PeopleKnowAlexis]

I go to music school in NJ and I started crying watching this. The arts is truly something special

[@laurencook7262]

Good god the chord at 16:17 is absolute perfection

[@koryhamblin]

I go to msu and I'm a little bit upset about how amazing this is

[@koryhamblin]

Why did I cry watching this?! I'm a freshman going to MSU for business 😂😂

[@fontajo]

That tends to happen pretty often to people

[@missypuffin8985]

Kory Hamblin ...you ARE kidding, right?

[@ali7475]

I literally watch this everyday (I know, it’s a lot). It’s so good!

[@juangarcia6473]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched the dance break at 15:22

[@jaimewolfin4729]

I've been to U of M for a choral event and LET ME TELL YOU THE ENERGY DOESN'T STOP HERE

[@melissacrannings8961]

[@MarleneRodriguez711]

I'm sobbing. This was so beautiful😭

[@julesd912]

this was so sweet and now im crying

[@Jack-on2fb]

When the girl stands up at 4:26 😂😂😂>>>>

[@MelChikVEVO]

So I've been watching this on repeat for a while now and more than ever do I want to go to UMich for MT but I don't have any dance experience and I'm so scared that I'm going to put myself out there and be rejected for it. :( This was absolutely phenomenal though, I want to be a proud wolverine! You guys are so talented and I can see the effort and emotion you all put into it. I hope you're all enjoying your final year at Ann Arbour. I look forward to seeing you all on Broadway! ⭐💙

[@WorkingCatalogue]

You'll never know unless you're willing to try! Michigan is a wonderful place, but remember there are a LOT of really wonderful facilities to get great training if you're ready to commit the time and energy in pursuit of what you want. Rejection is certainly a large part of the field we're all entering, but I think of rejection as less of a failure then succumbing to the fear of trying at all. Whether or not you end up auditioning- if you don't feel confident in a certain skill, find your way into a class! We're always improving and bettering ourselves; the only way we really do that effectively is by facing our fears head on. I believe in you! ~Peter

[@nataliemoya8062]

I love the lin manuel miranda content in the beginning im obsessed

[@imtired5297]

Why am I binge-watching these vids for a school and program I will never attend????

[@evacarlton5582]

This video makes me feel very untalented

[@WorkingCatalogue]

Don't let yourself feel that way! Everyone up there is a product of years and years of hard work- if you're willing to put in the time and energy you might amaze yourself with what you're able to accomplish!

[@bailyhill4180]

instead of doing trophies, some theatre departments do paper plate awards! i have two (most likely to give you a massage during rehearsal and troupe grandma) but you can use any inside jokes or most likely too etc :)
