From YouTube: The Show must go Online Green Team

Description

The Children of Cambridge city have come together to perform a musical online during lockdown. Children came from all areas of the city and have been meeting online once a week to produce these video’s to share with their local communities.

A

Student students- I have some terrible news because I have to tell you right away. I could not wait. Another single second wait um is this is even recording hello.

A

Am I no? No okay. Am I talking loud enough? Maybe if I just get closer, that's better. As I was saying, I have some truly devastating information. Our musical has been cancelled.

A

You've all worked incredibly hard and I was so looking forward to our test rehearsal tonight. But now I'm sorry to report the brushes with greatness attentional hygiene musical will never see the light of day. The world will never witness your interpretation of this great american classic.

A

You know they always say she must go on, but in this case it it just can't.

A

Oh um I'm sorry, that's uh yes, I should go goodbye for now. How do I end this thing? uh Siri end video great. That was easy, um hello, oh principal yeah. I know speaking of thought, what you can't shut down the drama club permanently.

A

I know this musical is supposed to raise money for next year, but you can't just get rid of the entire drama program.

A

It's okay. I understand goodbye.

A

A

Maybe if I just press the button here, it says it will send it will.

B

Calling oilcast and crew did you see that video wow miss himself does not know how to use technology but, more importantly, we have to save the drama department, no matter what obstacles we face. Life mirrors art- and this is just like our musical like buffalo, says the start of brushes with greatness.

C

We don't give up, we don't give in we journey on. We rise again, although we face our greatest.

D

Force we don't give up. Yes, they say.

A

No we'll tell that black and gingivitis to just.

C

B

But you know what I mean. Let me know what you think.

A

Hello, former classmates, I'm speaking to you all from inside my closet, where I was treated as soon as I heard the terrible news I've decided to move in here and hide away from the rest of the world. After all, if there is no musical theater, what's the point of going outside.

A

I will live out the rest of my days, nestled in all my old costumes, my my ballet shoes and my sign poster from last year's production of seasickle, the musical I was a great year for the turtle. Wasn't I don't cry for me for my classmates I'll, be fine I'll, be here tweeting at lin-manuel miranda and humming the school to hamilton for the rest of eternity.

A

Good luck with the rest of your lives, so long, farewell, avida, sing, goodbye and scene. Look. We can't just crawl into our closet. We have to bring brushes with greatness to life and save the drama. I have an idea. You know how we're all sending videos to each other right now. What if.

B

We did the show just like that.

A

I mean if you can buy ben platt's juice to show online. You can totally do a show on not that anyone would buy a used tissue on the internet who what type of person would but spend 40 pounds on something like that. Nobody would. I know I wouldn't yuck. All I'm saying is you can do a lot online. We could film ourselves and then piece videos together.

A

We could ah oh, dear evan hansen. What have I done? Yes,.

E

That's a genius idea, not the 40 dollar tissue, that's ridiculous, but a virtual musical is a great idea. We'll perform the brushes of greatness, the dental hygiene musical at home and stream. It online check it out. I can do the opening number from my living room.

E

Ever since the mouth appeared, we chant some teeth, there's been a silent battle. Just be me.

E

Come listen to their brush brush brushes with greatness a musical inside your jaw, brush brush brushes with.

F

E

Amazing right, the only problem is, I don't think our drama teacher is going to like this idea very much she's, pretty scared of technology. How do we get it to agree.

A

B

I may have an idea for how we could get the drama teacher to agree.

A

I read a little something: I'm not sure if it will be any good, but maybe it could help. I I don't usually perform my songs, but we have to save the drama club. So here.

C

C

F

A

A

So how was it that was beautiful? I must say I am moved deeply moved all of it at first, I was hesitant, but after hearing that song I say we go for it. The show must go online now, as always, please feel free to reach out with me to me with any questions you have whatsoever about the play or about the technology.

A

I have a hotmail account and an aol account. As you know, I am very connected, and I just say you all have inspired me so much and giving me hope, and now let the dress rehearsal begin. Okay, siri end video! No wait! I mean siri scent, that's easy!

A

Oh there you are, I wonder how they found out. The drama department was in danger, mr whiskers mesa did you know I performed in cats once I was tremendous meow.

A

Siri troublemaker: okay, I've got this, so a teacher talks to cats good to know anyway, dress rehearsal. I was thinking since we're at home. We could get creative like some of the toothbrushing songs. We could do in an actual bathroom with an actual toothbrush and toothpaste check it out. This could be great for the big black battle at the end of the show, when the plaque is all like.

C

This mouth is my domain. Now I don't want you around. I'm sick of dealing with your flossing.

D

Brushing sound, then our heroes come in to save the day.

D

A

Great right- oh, that was some great toothbrushing amazing form, though I guess it was kinda hard to hear the lyrics. Well, we'll welcome that later. I've been in the grey gum, canyon working on the plaque song all day, and I think I found the perfect way to perform it at home. I had some interruptions before, but we're all good. Now this is scene. Three take six.

A

Hush away from the buzzing.

C

G

Hi guys guess what I got a cat.

H

This is grizzle mcsquizzle.

D

Squeezo weasel the second point: two: she.

B

D

B

A

Stay and eat she eats a lot. Actually, she she, she also sleeps a lot I'd, say: she's, a stellar sleeper, also pretty great.

D

At sniffing things and licking things, which is great of being the best.

A

I know this doesn't have anything to do with the musical, but I just wanted to come here and say how cute she is. I mean.

B

Have you ever seen anything cuter than that face.

A

That's it bye so back to the musical it's your trusty costume designer here now, even though our costumes are still at school, that doesn't mean we can't get creative at home. This is our dress rehearsal. After all, now, as we discussed last week, our base costumes will be all black. No logos, no designs, yes, toby. That includes your olaf t-shirt. Let it go now, listen up everyone, because I have some tips and suggestions for all of you for tommy tooth and my other toothbrushes.

A

I want you to take some hair, brushes and tape them to your hands like so.

A

See it's easy now, the other one.

A

Well, I guess once you have one on there, it makes it a little bit harder to to do the other.

A

I guess you can just hold it now. You can sing and dance like you're a toothbrush with bristles, though I suppose, if you need to pick something up.

A

ugh Just get creative people, don't let me down.

I

A

I

The costume tip this next song is the emotional center of the whole story. The heart-wrenching moment when tommy tooth apologizes I've been practicing my expressions in the mirror all day, and I think I've achieved an audio mcdonald level performance now. All I have to do is capture on film, but that's easy enough here I go.

I

When you look at my face, you can clearly see, I need you and you look in my heart. You will understand. I can, if you take a deep look into my eyes, you'll see a soul that never lies my face, my heart, my smile, my teeth, my eyes.

A

Wow, that was um your voice sounded great, but the camera work was a little bit off. I imagine.

B

That making things easier, what if tommy the toothbrush.

A

Was played, buy an actual toothbrush that way, you could really see his body parts when he's singing brilliant right. When you look at my face, you can clearly see. I need you amazing right. When you look at my heart, you will.

C

Understand I care.

A

What a performance, if you take a deep look into my eyes.

A

My face my heart, my smile, my teeth, my eyes.

B

Okay, maybe it's not a great idea.

E

Hello from your lighting designer I thought I'd demonstrate some ways you could do lighting designing at home. For instance, you could turn the lights on or you can turn them off blackout. If you have a dimmer, you can dim them, which I don't. So I can't really sorry and hmm what else I guess you could have some on and some.

E

Off uh you could use a lamp too.

E

And that's about it! Good luck! I guess.

A

Lights up spotlight on me. As you all know, this next song contains the most important information in the entire musical, which is why I am demonstrating it for you. It's the big.

C

Reveal and the stakes are extremely high.

A

C

A

Misses this, the whole show will fall apart. We mustn't let that happen, so we need to be extremely clear, like so.

C

As we ready for this battle, our biggest battle, yet I'm reminded of a hero who I never could forget, the one who makes the evil forces wins and his name is.

A

Like what was the line? Okay right, sorry going.

A

A

Find a quiet spot to record yeah. It's not that hard.

A

Remember your lines, especially the important ones, don't sing with a toothbrush in your mouth. I'm begging! You make sure the camera is pointed at your face. When you are singing about your lovely face and for goodness sake, don't buy a 40 pound use tissue online. It's not about the show, but just don't do it. Okay, we're about to go live! Remember! This is just for friends and family. No pressure just have fun and.
