Why is this true?

my 2.9k will agree. one moment it"s a seggs song the next it's "can you feel the love tonight" then it's so.ething 'satanic' and then something absolutly goofy

[@MayonnaiseJane]

Yep. I AM doing this show. If you don't cast me, that's cool, the SM will put me on running crew every time... except that time they made me the ASM. Lol.

[@jennenny87]

Right? They forgot the one who is mic'd backstage while also managing props because they "didn't look the part" but no one actually on the stage can harmonize.

[@abbalotl]

techies deserve more recognition 😔

[@MayonnaiseJane]

Every actor should do tech at least once as a requirement for acting. So you know from experience exactly why you need to LISTEN to your crew!

[@sredding878]

The first actor playing SpongeBob kind of looks like Young Sheldon.

Thank you for clarifying that the second song wasn't literally the next part of the SpongeBob song because i was super lost lmaooo. Was fully ready to accept that someone in the musical wanted to commit mass murder and I was trying to decide if that was meant to be Squidward 😂💀 this kids, is why sleep is important

My favorite part is the fear in the face of the girl behind sweeney todd. Perfect 😭

[@mg9009]

That young man playing Sweeney already has Groban beat by 500 miles....Kids today grow up thinking Johnny Depp and Groban are right for Sweeney...instead of big... bold and tormented men...with robust voices and true rage in their eyes...

I’m laughing so hard at how quickly that escalated! 😂

[@lilxlate]

Having these new kids try and sing wicked songs during karaoke made me do a few Sweeney Todd songs throughout xD so this is great xD
