Who Am I Playing? - The Office US

Last time i went to the theatre a man dressed as a cat sat on my lap.
From Season 7 Episode 3: Andy's Play - Andy (Ed Helms) invites the entire office to his community theater production of Sweeney Todd in hopes that Erin (Ellie Kemper) will attend. Michael (Steve Carell) tries to put his jealousy aside and enjoy the performance while Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) struggle with their incompetent babysitter.

Am i the only one who didn't watch after Mike left? Lul. Honestly Ive watched the entire series probably 8 times over my life and I always always stop when he leaves and hugs pam at the airport episode. Oh... Ill watch that 1 after inner circle because Will fcks himself up and comes back into the office in a coma wearing his hospital garbs with the IV still... Lul! Epic. Then after that.... The magics gone, that red head lady that idiot old white guy, like who is that guy? So sad... Lul. I understand the cast had to get paid and finish the show but the show dies after mike left, period

[@DLZ2000]

My guess is that it was not an episode of L&O that included a lot of singing, which would be crucial to include in an audition for a musical. I'm wondering how they let him go on that long. I guess he must have been the last auditioner that night and they were just so baffled they couldn't look away.

[@madduxnagel6935]

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

For those who don't know: Stephen Sondheim was the man behind the lyrics for iconic musical West Side Story. He's also done Gypsy, Into the Woods, and Company. He's won eight Tony Awards, an Oscar, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Pulitzer Prize, and eight Grammys. He sadly passed in November 2021 at 91 years old

1:40 Creed's face sums it up

[@lcolells315]

I’ve always felt this scene and when Jim pretended to be a vampire was so risky with Dwight there, given his propensity to “defend” the office, added to the fact that he killed a neighbor’s dog that was a “werewolf”

[@GoRose]

I loved how Michael came out with the biggest smile. When someone finds someone who loves singing as much as them, it is GOLD...

[@sidmenon8470]

[@jonvia]

I went to a high school that had a very serious theater program. The Sweeny Todd cold open gave me flashbacks to us being forced to watch the plays as kid while visiting the high school in elementary and middle school. That part when they're all panting from the scene is classic theater humor.

[@Aluhcav]

Michael being so bummed out that he didn't get a part, kind of tells you just how hard he is trying to hold onto the thought that he is the "cool kid".

[@silverblueshadow]

imagine if michael's in it tho...it's gonna turn it all cringey

There are just so many things in this scene that made it one of my most funniest scene in the show. Dwight's knife being readied, Angelas spontaneous reaction, Jim's first reaction to the play, and more. It's truly one of the most "The Office" clips of the show.
