Yes please, we can never have enough Joe content 🙂
yes please
Definitely, thank you Jackie!
Yes, please!

I was in the audience for both shows yesterday, it was absolutely incredible, he was born for this. I even got to see him as the stage door. One of the best moments of my life!
I’m very, very jealous!
I know I'm overly sensitive, excuse me in advance, but I'm so happy and relieved knowing lovely supportive people like you were there cheering him on. He has been through too much, tough boy.
His career trajectory is mind blowing! 3 years ago Joe planned to go study law (we know how political and social aware he is and what a great advocate) and now he made his way from Netflix to Off West End to Marvel to Broadway. The stars aligned for this rising star!
Isn’t it!
His voice is absolutely stunning. The fact that he said once that he didn't think he had the voice for a musical shocks me because his voice is so perfect!
It’s the fact he said that and his voice isn’t just good it’s amazing is something else. He’s going to have such a great career.
@@JackieRossLavender Definitely. I'm not going to lie, I actually cried when I heard him sing. He is just so amazingly talented.
I hate how Joe is always downplaying himself. He doubts his talent and skills, he downplays the horrific bullying he has been facing for months. Being humble is one thing and I love him for this and think it's rooted in his upbringing, but his self deprecating jokes, all keeping inside to himself isn't the solution to the negativity surrounding him. Nevertheless, he continues to shine so very brightly.
@@user-qs9zm2wo1tsounds a lot like Charlie Spring, too, tbh
OMG, he just told Seth Rudetsky that apparently he likes playing damaged characters, rofl
(Context, had just said he'd love to do Gabe in Next to Normal, though wouldn't want to take the role from Jack Wolfe.)
I was in the audience and I can say with certainty that his singing was pure magic. I’m still getting goosebumps, days later, just recalling the memory of his voice.
joe plays such a gentle and layered toby. his vocals are some of the best i’ve heard to play toby, and he’s so resonant and technically sound. he’s effortlessly talented and i’m so proud 😊
He is working with two exceptionally good tenors, Aaron Tveit and Nicholas Christopher, I'm sure both of them are more than happy to help. I somewhat think Nicholas kind of reimagined Sweeny, he is Pirelli/Sweeny standby and his Sweeny isn't as much about vocal accuracy but more about emotion, and the whole cast seems to be doing that now.
That boy is going places. I hope industry people are taking stock cause he's so talented.
taking is very low key working class non-professional background into account .. his career trajectory continues blowing my mind
I really appreciate your break down of this. I went to the Wednesday evening performance and the applause once he finished was longer and louder than anything I have experienced as an audience member before! It felt like witnessing the start of something really big!
I love to hear that!
I was a choir and theater kid for 8 years and I was geeking out this entire video with you! Joe's technicality is just OUTSTANDING for his debut!
So outstanding! I want to talk to him and understand what technical training he’s had!
What’s technical training?
From the tiny IoM without any professional experiences on stage or screen, only doing local amateur theatre, to co-leading a hit Netflix series, making his awarded stage debut, co-leading a Marvel/Disney+ series and now debuting in SweeneyTodd on Broadway: Joe Locke! Our humble lovely gorgeous talented young man. Star on the rise!
Kit has said that Joe will take over the world, and it’s soooooo true. He’s such a star. We gotta manifest his dream of being the first gay Disney Prince now!
@@xcreativecobrax spoiler
joes disney+/marvel character wiccan technically will be kind of a gay prince
I’ll be honest. One thing I STUPIDLY did when I heard the news of Joe joining Sweeney Todd was question his singing ability. I was like “I don’t really see him as a singer. Can he sing???”. Let me tell you, I will NEVER question his ability EVER again because WOW!!!!!🥹👑🤩
Same! Just naturally for some reason assumed he wouldn’t be a singer. Even though I knew he was a huge musical theatre fan! Won’t make that mistake again lmao
@@la.uralox Same 👑❤️
It was absolutely breathtaking in person. I had no clue what to expect and he literally had my jaw on the floor and tears in my eyes
My theater and choir kid heart was just in awwww of his voice…I seriously can’t believe he ever said he couldn’t sing well enough…his voice is stunning
Stunning is the correct word!
I’m so incredibly proud of him. He was born for the stage
I cried all evening with tears of joy and pride…every post I saw, his curtain call, the smile on his face! I wish I could go see it in person! He deserves all the love and praise, he’s amazing! Love that you reviewed this…❤
I'm so insanely happy seeing all the love for Joe and how much he is getting celebrated at the moment. I fear he needed this. I'm not much online on social media but even I was made aware of that horrific homophobic bullying that has been going on. Seeing security and police officers with Joe stagedooring made me feel a little bit better. It's still sad how that might have tainted his experience.
As a former kid on broadway(Sutton of all people was my “star to be”, iykyk), I love seeing a breakdown of Joe’s vocals. I was honestly blown away! I’ve gone back and forth whether his first “but in time” is a choice or not. His mix voice is SO SO GOOD that I’m more inclined to think it is a choice, but no matter, I can’t wait to hear some audio further down the road to see if it evolves. It shouldn’t surprise given his acting abilities, but the amount of emotion you can hear in his voice is stunning. There are so many amazing singers out there, but when you’re able to convey the amount of feelings he does it’s next level. I thought it in jest the first few times listening to his voice, but I legit think he could be the IT broadway star. Moveover Aaron T, Jeremy J, and Jordan F, Joe Locke is “taking over Broadway” lol
He was born to be on that stage plus so much more ❤️
He's certainly got the youthful look to play a kid. He has great dynamics! I actually liked the contrast in register on "but in / time".
It sounds greats but it’s a change in dynamics that I don’t think was a choice for anything but how hard that navigation of the passagio is.
Oh, I do think it's a choice, and I love it! The softer, lighter voice on the first "time" is SO GORGEOUS and it's made more so by the contrast with the crescendo on "but in". Maybe there's a bit of strain on the word "in", that could be improved, but the dynamic contrast at the top of the phrase is *chef's kiss*
FWIW I'm an American choral singer. A soprano. The phrasing there is *goals*.
I’ve been loving all the attention Joe is getting; he wholeheartedly deserves it. I stop to listen/watch every video/clip because he’s just so good. I normally don’t condone recording live shows, but I’m grateful for it this time because I know I wouldn’t be able to hear/see him in this. I’m also hopeful it will encourage people to go see him. I cannot wait to hear him with Aaron and Sutton - he’s getting to work with Broadway royalty IN HIS DEBUT! Like, he’s going to learn so much from them and I’m so here for all of it.
Also, Jackie, you’ve got a phenomenal voice! I’ve never heard your Phantom performance and it’s amazing!
seeing joe finally get the deserved praise, attention, support and love he was always deserving of is what i've wanted for him since like 3 years ago
I don’t condone videoing shows as it’s distracting for everyone involved but audios are harmless in my eyes.
Thank you so much. All of my phantom recordings at here on my channel if you scroll back to the beginning of my videos ❤️
Just returned from seeing Sweeney Todd in New York City. Joe’s singing, acting, and timing were all beyond fantastic! You can tell that he is in his element, having a good time, and at home with the cast; especially Sutton and Aaron. Our seats were no more than 100 feet from the stage. What an incredible experience!
I’m going to NYC next month and I will definitely be heading to see him in this!
Enjoy your trip and don’t forget a tissue! (Our seats were orchestra, row R, centered with the stage.)
I saw it last night and it was a revelation! Joe was born to be on stage!
Joe Locke is such an amazing young actor,I am so glad that he has apparently done so well with his Broadway debut
I am seeing him this week so I will be able to confirm that he is doing incredible!
@@JackieRossLavender You managed to get tickets!!!!!! I'm guessing a trip to America then for you. Quick reccomendation like 10 minutes away from the theatre their is a cafe called Schmackary's which is a highly reccomended cafe near the theatre plus they do theatre themed cookies some times. Just a reccomendation from a brit theatre fan always watching broadway vlogs.
Yeah I saw the show last week. Joe was by far the standout for me.
Honestly, I really liked his performance, he has a talent that I couldn't even describe, he's just incredible.
I am in awe.. Loved Joe before because he does a really lovely portrayal of Charlie in Heartstopper.. But I did not know he could sing like this... He said in some interview that he wasn't much of a singer, i believe.. but this voice? This voice just doesn't happen by chance. You hear that he has technique.. you hear that this voice HAS trained for a longer time, you can't just get there in six month unless you are really freakily talented. I have to say that when I heard he was going to do this part I thought it was just a producer choice to get a known name in order to draw audience. Gaten was that type of choice even though we have known for a long time he can sing. But Joe? They clearly knew something we didn't... I will happily follow him because his future IS in Musical theatre, clearly! He almost has a lyrical tenor sort of voice and he will break hearts on Broadway and West end... Just think of him as Marius in Les Miz in a few years time... or Dear Evan Hansen?.... the list goes on.
i think joe sadly likes to downplay his own talents (and lots other stuff too) when theres no need for it. theres being humble which he cleary is, and then downgrading what he is capable of. i for one still am blown away.
I don’t know if he quite had the vocal range for Evan Hansen (notoriously one of the hardest male roles ever written) but he would be a fantastic Marius!
My life is complete, now that I discovered Joe Locke musical voice ❤️
Discovering the talent that is Joe Locke has completed my life.
I have to go to NY again. Joe is phenomenal and I NEED to see him live. His voice is absolutely beautiful and Sweeney Todd is my favorite musical.
I could barely sleep after hearing this recording last night. I agree with everything you just said and also that falsetto at the end wraps the entire song beautifully. I wish I could hear/see him live, but I will have to wait until he returns to West End again...if Broadway ever returns him to us after this.
OMg I couldn’t click this fast enough!! I’m blown away…to think HS was his first professional acting job. I was a little nervous about his singing voice because I don’t think there are any good examples before this out there, but he was awesome!!
Yes, he only did local amateur theatre pre-HS and not even amateur screen work. When Kit said Joe was a natural "raw" talent, he truly was right (and Joe in saying Kit is an old pro, too).
I was blown away by his singing voice. It’s so beautiful. After his Broadway debut I drew this little Joe Locke fan drawing of him singing Wild Uncharted Waters from the live action little mermaid for fun. I could picture him singing that song. I’m hoping he does a show in San Francisco someday. Can’t wait to see where else his career goes from here because he’s taking over the world ❤
Saw him last night and he was on another level. Really truly special to witness a talent like him.
He did so good! I’m so happy for him 🥰
Isn’t it amazing the effect he has on us? Like, he’s cast a spell on us and I’m here for it! I heard those first couple of sound bites of him singing and I like full on snot sobbed! Omg! How cringe am I?! People at work thought someone died, I was sobbing so hard. I cannot wait to go see him at the end of the month!
Also I just saw he’s going to be on Bake-off which is another dream I’ve had of him that’s coming true. Joe is doing all the things!! The boy is doing so well at 20 years old and I’ve done like nothing in my 40 years. Keh!
The "spell on us" part is hopefully even more true after his Marvel show will be airing this fall..
Joe is so great 😍🤩
Joe locke we love you ❤
i fear he needs all our love 💔❤🩹 he has been through too much in my opinion
@@user-xz9vk2el1d Joe Locke and very strong he knows that there are people who love him 🫶🏼
This is my first time hearing him. Even in interrupted segments I got full body chills and tears. To see him in person sing this - 😂
Joe is amazing, I’m so so proud of him!
Me too!
Yes Jackie do more videos of Joe please❤
Also, I never knew that Joe could sing until it was mentioned on a tiktok clip yesterday. I was a big fan of Joe up until yesterday, but now I'm a HUGE fan of Joe's acting and singing skills. Thanks for putting this up Jackie.
I was soooo blown away because it seems like Joe has always doubted himself in interviews!! Thank you for this!!!
sadly joe loves to downplay his talents and make himself small - he is very charlie in that sense
He was born for the stage, it’s insane he could do some of the singing and the vibrator!! Insane!!
Thank you so much for creating this video! I am so proud of Joe Locke's success. When I heard he was cast in this role, I immediately wanted to travel to NYC to see/hear his performance. Sweeney Todd is one of my absolute favorite musicals. And, I love this song. Unfortunately, attending the show is a luxury I cannot afford. But, I am thrilled to hear Joe's beautiful singing thanks to you. --Fabulous!!
I'm late to comment and see this review however being there that night and that Friday also. Jaws dropped and mouths hanging open with stunned looks when he started singing!! He was absolutely incredible, and no, the recordings don't do him justice!!! Mrs Lovett was absolutely amazing also!! I wish I could go back and see him again and again!! If anyone has the chance to go GO!
Oh I don’t doubt - audios never do it justice! I’m hoping to see him at the end of march. Very excited!
I love love love how passionate you are about music! It is inspiring! Joe‘s performance was wonderful, but your detailed closer ‚hear‘ is something else. Thank you!! 🌈
What a lovely comment. Thank you so much!
Love how you do this. So entertaining and educational. I agree, Joe is a delightful surprise. Saw the original Sweeney on Broadway, as well as this revival in the Summer, and Joe’s vocals are by far the most beautiful and nuanced I’ve heard. Thank you for explaining the dynamics behind it. You have a new fan!
You’re welcome! I completely agree! I’ve worn out every cast recording I can get my hands on and have seen multiple productions around the world and Joe’s Tobias is my favourite I’ve heard. I’m hoping to see him for myself at the end of next month!
So exciting a video. Your enthusiasm, and your analysis, not to mention your own voice, had me on the edge of my seat. This song begs being lingered over, and you gave it the full, generous attention Locke’s performance deserves. I was a chorus and a bit part member in a community theatre production of Sweeney in upstate New York some time ago, and our Toby was so good we felt we had a god in our midst. Do that role, that song justice, and people will look at you in wonder for years.
Saw him last night live. Phenomenal. I had no idea he could sing like that.
Jackie, it’s Sunday evening and I’m finally able to watch/listen along with you. Thank you for breaking down the various aspects of the music.
Wow, Joe exhibits so much power and tenderness in his voice!
Bravo 👏👏👏 Joe Locke
Thank for posting this video, I've heard his singing on multiply videos - but you breaking it down and explaining things made it so much more amazing! Joe doesn't realise his own capabilities I don't think. He's on the horizon and like Kit said a couple of years ago. Joe is taking over the world, slowly but surely and he's so young too.
Joe notoriously downplays his talents. Maybe he actually doubts himself and what he is capable of, maybe he thinks he isn't deserving all of this or still cannot believe in how much everything has changed.
I would have thought there’d being one shakey note from nerves but no this was an insane debut! I’m seeing him in two weeks and I can’t wait! Great review
I love this so much. Joes so amazing ♥️🍂
Thanks so much for this, Jackie! I am going to see Sweeney Todd next week and am very excited to watch Joe perform. This video really whetted my appetite for the show and for Joe’s performance! Great analysis and commentary! 👊👊
You also sound absolutely incredible ❤️
Thank you so much 🙈
@@JackieRossLavender I always love listening to you sing on patreon before you do your reactions ❤️
@@cathymills4175 I know right?
@@erinyablonsky1481 love hearing Jackie sing ❤️
SLAY JOE
Goosebumps. The end. 🤩🎵
Jackie, thanx somuch foryour underlining of Joe’s successes in his debut on Broadway! I do love his choices in the music.
Yes, i would like to hear your takes on Joe’s other songs.
You’re welcome! My 2 worlds collided with this one with Heartstopper and Broadway so I couldn’t wait to film this. I am going to be making mother video about him very soon!
I cried all the time with all the videos! Thank you Thank you thank you for your review!
I'm so sad that I couldn't see this. But thank you for giving me the experience of hearing it. ❤❤
Thank you for this video, I have understood and discovered so much. Listening to Joe Lock brought tears to my eyes
I saw Mr Locke (and Heartstopper co-star Will Gao) in London in The Trials in 2022. He was absolutely the standout of an ensemble cast so it comes as no surprise he’d kill it on Broadway (in what is also my #1 favourite musical of all time, too). ❤️
I saw The Trails too and thought they were both wonderful. I loved the show as a whole. It’s so great seeing Joe in such a variety of roles!
@@JackieRossLavender Sebastian Croft (with Simone Ashley) was there on the night I saw it. It was like a mini Heartstopper reunion. 😊
that WoS award for best debut clearly was well deserved!
I love this reaction Jackie!!! I would love to hear you react to other videos of Joe and other theatre videos in general! This video makes me so happy, and I love how you break down and explain the technical stuff so clearly! You are amazing, and this is making me very excited to go see the show! Keep up the good work sir...
I’m so glad people are enjoying it… maybe this is another series of videos we go down!
Do it!@@JackieRossLavender
Joe, our dear Joe, now featured in what just so happens to be - yes, Jackie, just like you, my darling - my favorite musical of all time! So, what a cultural milestone for me in my decades of loving this musical combined with one of my favorite people on the screen in a long, long time. And, lo & behold, Joe isn't just good, he's stupendous! How did he keep this magnificent voice so under wraps? His vibrato is astounding. Congratulations, Joe, and I am hoping to be able to get to New York before his final date (which no one has announced!). And thanks for this vid, as always, Jackie. GO, JOE!
SAME 😊 but with me its his adoration of my childhood fav movie The Goonies ,THIS voice of an angel moment is, I have no words , my love for #JoeLocke , just PHENOMINAL. NOTHING he cant do ❤
Adore Joe, so happy for him.
I grew up on the east coast and went into NY to see shows all the time. I’m in CO now and wasn’t able to attend. Thanks for sharing! I too have been in musical theatre since age 8 ;) One of my favorite shows ❤
And I thought it was stunt casting 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
What. A. Voice. !!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ CHILLS
You are very well versed in musical terminology! This was lovely to watch. (Musician here. Saw the show last night and I think your criticism is very insightful! --I also use my hands to talk vocal techniques lol)
I love that he’s actually great at singing!
But not even just like good… he’s FANTASTIC. Even if he wasn’t Joe Locke I would listen to him and say my god what a great Tobias!
@@JackieRossLavender one of my all time favorite show tunes too! I went home and told my theater kid child, stop what you’re doing and listen to Joe Locke sing
ahh wow!!! Joe's technique is soo detailed and just incredible. I loved your break down of this! It shed so much light on every moment and choice in his singing. it gave me throwbacks to my theatre days :')
He’s got an absolutely fantastic technique and I’ll be hearing it for myself next week!
Just booked tickets to the show in early March. I’m so excited!
A wonderful reaction video. It is rather shocking the shear talent that Joe has. Your expertise in breaking down his performance is outstanding.
Joe is so good i love him
Gracias por tus comentarios joe es divino su voz angelical brilla ..es un tesoro.❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏👍🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for posting this! I didn't know he could sing, and for sure I would have never imagined he would have sounded this good for his Broadway debut! I so wish I could have been there to witness it :")
He'll perform for twelve more weeks!
@@emilymarausa6730 oh wow thanks for the info 🫶
Hi Jackie !! Thanks for this !! I dont know anything about professional singing... When I heard these audios today I was speechless. How can he sing this way, just like that ??? It´s incredible !! I didnt expectet that... Unbelivable beautiful !!!
Natural talent mixed with a good teacher as a kid I’m assuming. Seems like he was involved in community theatre so I’m assuming he’s has some coaching. Then he would have definitely had professional coaching since landing this role to prepare for the 8 show a week schedule that’s required on broadway. But basically he’s just very talented.
Very talented !!! Thanks for the explanation 😊💓
It's not as spread around, but his god, that's good! (the Is that a pie fit for a king part) is freaking angelic too and he sung it while lying down and being pulled across the stage. Unreal talent
Oh yes I’ve got that too. This video has proved to be super popular so I’ll be breaking God, that’s good and Elixir!
Czekalam wczoraj pół nocy na jakies przecieki z teatru chcac usłyszeć spiewajacego Joe. I to cudowne uczucie bo spiewa tak pieknie że aż mam ciarki na calym ciele. Taki talent ukryty w tym mlodym człowieku ❤ . Caly dzisiejszy dzień spedzilam na Twitterze, TicToku szukajac i słuchając Joe.Jak zobaczylam twoje komentarze na Twitterze wiedzialam że musisz cos powiedzieć na jego temat. ❤❤❤❤i pięknie to zrobiłeś. Dziękuję 🥰😜
I was pleasantly shocked by how amazing he sounded! Now I need a duet with Joe and Kit in Hearstopper Season 3! And I need Netflix to announce that there will be a season 4!
Joe sounds great! (You did too!)
Well damn! I am blown away by YOUR talent in the brief clip from Phantom. Awesome!
Thank you so much! That was 11 years ago… I was just 21!
I got to see the show last night so about three weeks in and he sounds even better now, he’s definitely relaxing into the role and his vocals are only improving. And he was phenomenal to begin with. I’d love to see how amazing he sounds come May
I’m hoping to be in NYC at the end of March and if so I’ll be seeing it then and I can’t wait to see how much he’s grown. I may have to make a comparison video!
I don't know the story of this show, nor any of the lyrics - but based on what little I heard of Joe singing, I hope he will one day release an album of musical tracks!!!! He is BRILLIANT!!!!🥹🥹🥹
I would buy it in a heartbeat
Love this review and wow! Your voice is amazing too ❤
Is this full version online somewhere? Would love to have it to listen to x
Yeah they’re all over TikTok and I’m sure people have posted them to CZcams now too
I think he will have a great career and it's amazing that a few years ago he was just a student.
and he did so well in his a-levels, too! he is very hard working.
This was great! Vocal gymnastics is a fantastic way to describe Sondheim ❤ Because of Joe I finally planned a trip to NYC to see as many shows as i can in 4 days. Already have my ticket to Sweeney - one month and counting! Look forward to listening to the 2012 version - I haven't heard that one and I've loved this show for ages.
It’s a fantastic recording. Imelda Staunton as Mrs Lovett was just incredible. I don’t *love* Michael Ball as Sweeney as I like Sweeney to have a rich Baritone voice personally but he was great in the role.
I've got tickets for Saturday. Absolutely cannot wait.
I couldn’t be more jealous!
TAKE ME WITH YOUUUUH PLEASE
@@JackieRossLavender update: Holy fuck. He was absolutely incredible. How to say this while avoiding spoiling the show for anyone…. The regression at the end broke me. Hopefully that’s non-specific enough.
I just read a review of Sweeney Todd, written after Aaron Tveit and Sutton Foster joined the cast. The reviewer said that Joe's performance was worth the entire price of admission.
IMO it was the only reason to purchase a ticket. It’s a show I adore but this production was not good. Joe was outstanding though!
SLAY! 🤩
Joe and Kit - HEARTSTOPPER the Musical. Think about it, Alice.
Incredible commentary. Do more Sweeney Todd and whatever else you like. So informative to get this level of analysis from a trained and passionate theatre insider.
Thank you! I’m so thrilled with the response to this video. I will definitely be breaking down Joe’s other songs in Sweeney!
Kit, time to propose now before someone takes him away.😮
Slayyy Joe
I get to see him in one week. And with Sutton and Aaron taking over the leads I’m so excited.
BTW: that audio of you as the phantom was amazing!! legit could have been fooled into thinking that was Ramin Karimloo!! (is that rude to say?)
Nope that’s not even remotely rude as Ramin has always been my favourite phantom ❤️❤️❤️
Loved Ball and Imelda in the London show -was lucky to see them live
Me too - it was a glorious production.
OMG YESS someone posted a clip on twitter from a Tik-Tok #JoeLocke is AMAZING
What the fuck WOW
RIGHT
I've really been trying to convince myself to go back to see this production (I saw it in June) now with Joe in it. It's an expensive ticket for a production I didn't love the first time.
Hearing this just makes me want to book a hotel near London, travel there from my hometown in the Netherlands and go see the show. This sounds amazing! ❤
Well don’t go doing that because it’s currently playing on broadway in NYC!!
@@JackieRossLavender Oh, my bad!
Of course Broadway is in New York, not in London. I probably said London because the story of Sweeney Todd is set in London. 😅
I have played in the ensemble of an amateur production of Sweeney Todd in the Netherlands by the way, so I'm very familiar with this musical.
Back in 2017 (the year we performed it in May) two of our actors were even nominated for an Amateur Musical Award for their roles as Anthony and Judge Turpin. Our guy playing Anthony was only 14 years old at that time.
As a singer yourself (with a lovely voice I might add), your familiarity with show music gives you permission to rave about Joe Locke's performance! It's wonderful he's been given the chance to show his versatility. I'm old enough to have seen Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou in the original production - it sure takes stamina to get through it.
My fantasy scenario: A future Heartstopper scene when Nick is going through a difficult time and Charlie sings 'Not While I'm Around' to him. Get the Kleenex out!
Great voice love this show was in chorus Sweeney Todd last summer
It’s just the best show. Seeing it last year in Stockholm was mindblowing.
Very challenging music but we had some amazing talent from Europe as our leads this guy Tobias great talent
I will make it to see this cast, for Joe but also for Aaron Tveit. I am speaking it into existence
