Reacting to fan submitted musicals!

[@WaitintheWings]

What were some of your favorite pieces covered!? Please remember to keep your comments respectful. Check out Carolee's full video breaking down how she adapted "Love is Salvation" here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpe7e2Cbm6utpdE

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

Definitely the puppet one. It sounds so beautiful

[@JuniperJadePR]

"We held a funeral for my tits." is definitely one hell of an opening line. Will be looking forward to seeing the reworked version of the monologue since it's got so much potential!

[@raulmuroperez]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FEEDBACK, I cannot believe this 💛 I'm for sure making more of these videos 🔥

[@allisonbergh4429]

“Tell me more” is the best explanation I’ve ever heard of what you want the opening of a monologue (or any performance, really) to accomplish. People (supposedly) have notoriously short and fickle attention spans, but we’ll stay up all night or be late to work for a story we’re interested in. No matter what the story is about, or how it’s presented - song, dance, acting, even visual arts - if the audience *needs* to know more, you’ve got ‘em. (Always love your incisive and insightful takes on stuff, Brendan. So happy for you making it a full-time thing. Keep it up!)

[@WaitintheWings]

This is a great way of putting it. Thank you for the kind words, Allison! :D

[@andreajlove]

Hey y’all, puppet lady here. Thank you so much for the feature and the feedback, Brendan. I think your lyrical commentary was super on point and I so appreciate the lovely, positive feedback for everyone! I hope this series will continue.

[@Gemnist98]

Love your idea!

[@NarutovsLuffyGirl]

I love that you're not only highlighting other folx's work, but you're taking the next step and offering your feedback. Having someone else be invested in your work can go a long way in terms of motivation. Keep writing, y'all!

[@chelsey8737]

The San Nicholas one sounds so interesting

[@WaitintheWings]

and the music for it is something else.

[@Firegen1]

The critiques are so good! I hope the artists who got chosen feel encouraged to keep going. I liked the concepts for each piece so it would be great to see them go to new strengths in the future.

[@pattongilbert]

I think specifying that they were fan’s works could have worked better for a title to get eyes to it. But I really like this kind of content, though! It’s very fun and important to do. It’s wonderful that you can share what you know to help others.

[@WaitintheWings]

Good advice! Tweaked the title :D

[@pattongilbert]

@@WaitintheWings I hope that can help get some more eyes on it.😊

[@caroleebeck]

Looooved working on this! Thank you again for bringing me on board!

[@wowokthenbruh]

Thank you so much for taking the time to review Bones!! I really appreciate what you said, I'm definitely going to implement what you said. :) Thank you again!!

[@MIXANDMTCH]

the san one sounds REALLY interesting! i'm really excited for that and i'm excited to see where it ends up going

[@MIXANDMTCH]

also your critiques were REALLY GOOD i loved the way you gave feedback

[@annalisasteinnes]

About the monologue, I've been told that sometimes the first few pages of what you write for a story are really just the background that you need to figure out for yourself before getting to the beginning of the "real" story that you want to tell your reader (or audience). Cutting it out doesn't mean that it's worthless, the audience just might not need to know it. Or some of it could be put in later after you have people's attention.

[@ThirrinDiamond]

V good way to put it that makes it easier, im screenshotting 💗

[@annalisasteinnes]

@@ThirrinDiamond Thanks!

[@sk5001owl]

Loved the video! It's such a great concept. I wish it were longer. I would have loved to hear more of the submitted pieces and an in-depth explanation of your feedback.

[@issac9]

Hey Wait in the Wings! I was wondering if you could make a video on the history and the many changes and revivals behind Sondheim’s Company. I have seen Raúl Esparza’s version and Neil Patrick Harris’ version here on KZbin and I am seeing it on Broadway in a few weeks. It’s really interesting to see its changes as well as the parallels between the original cast recording from 1970. Thanks!

[@tjosiahhaynes]

This stuff was great! I wish i had known so i could submit a couple things. Just supported the kickstarter, and I'm excited to see where witw goes!

[@bread_dawg]

I love how genuine your advice is. I'd love to see you talk about the death note musical!

[@AnotherHarley]

"What instrument do you think cloe would be?" That is one of those questions you don't think about that could change EVERYTHING about your character in such a subtle but amazing way. Woah.

[@mamabear2613]

“Love talking about rollercoasting accidents and bono.” Sir don’t lie we know you hate talking about bono 😂

[@catalystrepertory]

Our tiny Midwestern theatre troupe hopes you do this again so we can submit. Thanks for giving theatre a presence on KZbin!

[@ThirrinDiamond]

🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i love how genuine you seem idk if you are cus screen but your critique is so nice. Like i can see someone cynical cringing or something and i'm so glad you didn't bring down people who trusted you with their baby 💗💗💗

[@car0_lineee]

Dude this would be a great series, maybe I'll send something in 👀👀👀

[@jenemourraipas]

wow ... this is all amazing advice. can you do more of these??

[@viicristina]

I LOVED this mexican version of Summer in Ohio! Very interesting

[@itsthemaggieshow]

You should do a “what went right” history of Six. Written by college kids and blew up in under a year. A LMM bio would be cool too

[@SgtBilby]

Please cover It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman It's a broadway play that predates Spider-Man: Turn on The Dark by many decades Yes, it WAS a real broadway play people reviewed the ABC TV version of the broadway show already on KZbin, we want to know the history of the play and why it bombed

[@kandikidzora]

It’s ironic and a bit creepy that this video is on…. And Monday I decided to get back to working on the musical I’ve been working on for like 3 years now but have been in a slump for about 4-6 months… this gives me hope

[@1987Liono]

Book of Mormon. Book of Mormon. Book of Mormon.

[@Jayalaw]

Do you have reviewing guidelines for shows in progress or development? Out of curiosity.

[@FormalFilmsProductions]

These shows sounds good.

[@171QA]

Great critiques.

[@brock8061]

you should cover hello dolly and the revival of it on a video like your soongebob, spiderman, and carrie vida

[@nkwari]

I think the most valuable thing I'm learning from WITW is to be willing to admit that something is not working. And that you can think of new options.

[@WaitintheWings]

You have been on a SPREE these past few days! I’m so happy you’ve found the channel and have joined the community. It really means so much. Come check out the Patreon video hangouts sometime!

[@isabellaearnhardt6380]

[@eamonhewitt8223]

Would you take short films into account? Just asking out of curiosity!

[@m.m.soundtracks]

Are you going to made video like this in the future? Can I send you anyway a track on your email?
