I’m really appreciative of the opportunities I was given in high school, and of the facilities I was given access to. I know I was incredibly lucky, as were the other members of my cast, but in an effort to demonstrate our appreciation for the facilities and faculty we had, the entire cast put on our all, at each rehearsal, each performance, and put on a kickass show. I wish music was more focused on in schools nationwide, it’s easily one of the most formative experiences I’ve ever had in my life.

I WISH my school had the talent OR the budget for this, but alas.

@@ArianaCapraro Middle Tennessee, overpopluated ghetto broke ass school. We ended up doing a play on a no to low budget (which I can’t remember the title) But it was about a school and school life drama. Alot of us were goofy kids and when the night came for us to perfom, 98% of the cast (myself included) improvised our lines because we didn’t remember them. Probably due to nerves. the outcome...absolute comedy. I played the school body president named sylvia. I also improvised by poking fun at the other characters on stage which was hilarious. We were all making dweebs of ourselves but with no regrets. the audience got a good kick out of the whole thing and even our director couldn’t keep a straight face. Instead of being angry with us he admitted that it made the show better. A golden moment in time, due to silly teenage drama nerds.

Luckily I went to a school that had a good budget for theatre, and reading a lot of the comments makes me realize how lucky I was. I had an awesome time (but stressful too lol) doing musicals and I wish a lot more people can have that experience too..Music and theatre is so great to have in your education and it should really be included in every school.

I always wanted my HS to do this, but it is way uber expensive because it’s STILL on Broadway 😜

Um why is everyone so good-

Imagine having your show not cancelled 💀

It's so awesome to see a new generation of talented performers treat this show with the respect it deserves! I'm sure you guys did great!

The fact that they actually have the chandelier- oh my god I wish I went to this high school 😭

That chandelier fall is better than 95% of the professional shows. The Broadway chandelier took approximately 12 minutes to fall.

Bruh my school can’t afford good lunch let alone this

I want the full show :(

Okay but like that chandelier crash was B to the AAAAA

dang i wish i couldve been in a highschool play, but i got denied the first year i tried out, everyone said my acting was decent so it had to be because the director was like "nah she's sick too often" (I had a low immune system at the time so, fair) and then i never got to try out again bc i switched to homeschool :P also the director refused to do musicals so whats the point really. i mean the plays were good every year but it lacked that musical pizazz yknow?

Omg y’all so lucky!!!! Since freshman year, I keep bugging my theatre teacher to do Phantom and he tells me “find a chandelier” but he also said we don’t have the money for something as big as Phantom. Y’all sound amazing though!!!

I came to see you guys, and you did amazing! Everything from the singing to the props was crazy good for a high school

This has showed up in my reccomend. And I am very pleased from the energy of fellow theatre kids. Thank you so much.

The amount of talent there is most impressive! When Red opened her mouth, I was blown away, frankly....

It’s insane that you guys are doing this as a high school show!! You guys are so talented!

5:46 "We just spent two hours on the prologue so it's going well" wow MOOD

Thats so cool! At my high school we tried doing Dear Evan Hansen, but literally only me and two other girls signed up for an audition 💀💀

I dont even know how to feel. I'm stinkin jealous but also THAT IS SO COOL IM SO HAPOY FOR YOU😂

you also have an amazing voice , all of you! great looking sets & costumes ! I do theatre too so seeing that is brilliant

THAT'S SOOOO COOOL Imagine having talented singers and enough actors.

Love this is in my recommended, videos like this give me a lot of serotonin

I really want to see the play now! It’s always been my favorite play ever and it’s great seeing people my age perform it at such an amazing level!

Wow! What a talent! I would love to have those voices! Your school chose the play very well and I also saw that you loved it! I loved the video!

I wish I did youtube back when I did high school theatre. Reading these comments makes me realize that my school's productions were like top tier compared to what a lot of schools have. Competition to get roles was hardcore with all the insane talent. And the quality was so professional

gurl- you are living one of my dreams, enjoy it very much

Imagine having a whole ass theater to perform in. My school get the stage in the cafeteria/gym/intermediate dismissal room.

The only show my school actually bothered to built a good set for is Alice the musical and Scheherazade the rest of the shows used the same set with props And when we did beauty and the beast the only thing they built was the bridge were Gaston falls off And these huge blocks with printed paintings on them The rest was just 9 small tv’s in the background stuck together to make the visuals :) Edit: And I just remembered, they guy who played Gaston broke one of the tv’s in rehearsal

I love that this feels like a Broadway dot come backstage vlog, right down to the title "Behind the Beating Stick". I remember falling down to hole in like 2009-2010 where I just watched every high school production of Phantom and Les Mis I could find, and this took me right back. This also has the smol crackhead energy of Eva Noblezada's Hey Little Songbird vlogs for Hadestown and I stan.

Reminds me of my old private school. Loved being in their productions

When people were talking about the falling chandelier and audibly gasping, I was like oh it can’t be *that* good. But I involuntarily gasped. Just incredible. Honesty I so wish I could’ve seen this. I love Phantom of the Opera so much and it looks like this company and this production was a fantastic love letter to the epic tale. “Brava! Brava! Bravissima!”
