You know it getting serious when they have jazz shoes on.

my drama teacher was like "no girls can play boy boy roles. sorry." then she saw that only like 3 boys auditioned, shes like "okay girls can play boy parts."

im not sure if aunt spiker is making that voice but it is ABSOLUTELY PERFEC FOR AUNT SPIKER!

They did amazing ! I loved the acting of the narrator. James did amazing and the aunts. Great job everyone!😄😄

The girl who played James is an incredible actress and singer!

I love how everyone died at the end of Shake it Up and James just doesn't question it.

My best tip would probably be to relax! It's a first rehearsal, so I'm guessing you'll probably just run through the script, maybe sing. Our first rehearsal was just a read-through and we listened to the songs. If you're nervous about singing in front of people, Sponge as a character isn't supposed to have a gorgeous voice anyway :). Most people won't be judging you, because they'll be just as nervous as you :). Have fun!

Spider was a great singer! And spiker killed it to!

I'm in this play as spider and we are starting on Monday! I am so excited!

I remember doing this in 2018! This was a summer camp production! I was part of the ensemble! This was my first theatre show I did. It was a blast.

I was raised by some people like Spiker and Sponge who treated me as a slave and seeing this play has provided some great therapy for me. So thank you. :) I'm grown now and I promise to be kind. And I still love bugs and spiders and all animals on the planet :)

@emmaanderson9520

Awww I am sorry

This was so awesome! well done everyone. :) I loved how mean they made the 2 aunts. The ladybug did a good job with character and she has a beautiful voice too. James did awesome :) and I loved the jazziness of the narrator. I liked how the grasshopper always added jumps in even when no one else was jumping around, I liked how he got into character. I got a better understanding of centipede's bitterness and pain, you did a good job showing how he lost everyone in his family too and how this makes him angry and alone and how he slowly warmed up to the other bugs and James and joined the family. And it shows the truth that if you keep on offering love and family and invitations to an angry alone person who lost everyone, they will eventually come to love you and join you in your friendship or family. :) So that's an important thing you taught your audience. I think spider did well and seemed to be coping much better than centipede and worm even though she lost her fiancé. She used the pain to drive her to take care of poor James who felt stifled like no one cared about what he had to say. She said to whisper in her ear. When your pain drives you to be kind to others, this is the best way to use your pain. Worm was very believable as a really scared anxious person that became less scared as he found the support and love of his family, which is also true for humans. Anyway good job ensemble. Good job everyone. This meant a lot to me. :)

i just got casted as grasshopper! really excited to sing floating along!

Love this! I am James in my school play. This was great!

Im super exited! The cast list for the production that im doing of this came out yesterday and i got earthworm! Im super exited. Good job the the people that were in this! This by far is my favorite version of the show!

Auditions are in a week... Wish me luck!

i loved the production it was so cool :)

I’m James in my play and this is so good I love it great job 💕

My school is doing this play in about 2 weeks! in May! I am in ensemble but it's still amazing and such a great time whenever I am on stage rehearsing with everyone else, plus being in ensemble means you get to be many different roles to be many different people, I am so excited just as some other people in the comments are for their play!

TBH I was expecting this to be really bad bc usually middle school plays are but this was SO GOOD! Great job

I'm a lot of roles and this helped me so much thank you! We already started the play though

Who else is doing this and is James???

Spiker and Sponge are the stars of the show!!

My schools doing this for the winter show, really excited 😆

I loved it 😊

In my summer camp we're doing this, and I got casted as Spider! I heard she's a lead role but I don't sing slot which I'm kinda sad of. But I'm so excited to be an insect! :))

I just finished doing this play and it was one of the most fun things i have done in my life. It was basiccally the same as yours but with different coreography (obvuisly) and our costumes we made with a victorian steampunk vibe in mind.

I just audition today for the musical and I think we are doing this one! Yay!

This is absolutely amazing! Everyone in this is so talented. I am auditioning for this show and I don't know who to audition for!
