I was expecting Hungarian and when my Mexican ass suddenly understood I thought I could understand a whole new language for a second
What was he saying?
@@kat7215 What am I doing here? They say my famous lover held my husband while I cut off his head, but that’s not true, im innocent haha I don’t know why they say I killed him.
I tried to explain to the police station
But they did not understand me
Here I have the opposite experience - as a Hungarian I always wondered how would it feel not to understand that part :D Now I get it :D
@@thryanox She has an "interesting" accent so as a hungarian I can bearly understand what the hell she is saying.
@@i.cs.zamodits oh yeah, I felt the same :D it took for a while to understand it properly (especially the "Uncle Sam" part because I didn't know what does that phrase mean and it just didn't make sense), but we, at least, had a chance to understand it as native speakers and it was really interesting :) for everyone else, please note, if you are learning Hungarian do not test your language skills with this text because it's definitely not a native Hungarian speech - to say the least :D

Ballerina is a feminine term.

THE FACT THAT THEY CHANGED THE HUNGARIAN FOR SPANISH. I AM DYING. THAT WAS FUCKING BRILLIANT.
Actually the original wasn't a real language, it was a mix of Hungarian and something else. I know because my friend's dad was watching the movie with her and he speaks Hungarian. He was able to understand most of it but yeah apparently they made a whole new language up for the original song lol.
@@bee458 well even as a native hungarian it's quite hard to understand( i had to check the lyrics after too..) but the original is fully hungarian but with a super srong russian accent...

Oh my goodness, fancy finding this absolute throwback on my recommended! I must give an honorable mention to my stalwart Assistant Designer, Katherine Oswald, who is tragically no longer with us but did such marvellous work styling these gentlemen; this was her favorite number!

@@JewishJeff839 False imprisonment, I only recently found this song so I havent seen the full performance but I do know based on the comments (from the original performance) there was lot of details in the video of the wives
1 major difference between the guilty wives and the innocent wife was the color of the spotlight shone down on them, the guilty wives were in a red spotlight accompanied with carrying a red cloth to simulate the blood on their hands when they talked about killing their husbands while the wife who spoke in a diff language was in white spotlight throughout her turn and was the only one who danced gracefully in that moment too

@@judith.froeschl02 My pleasure!
The only difference between this version and the original one is that the hungarian girl says "I don't know why UNCLE SAM (USA) says I killed him" ^^

@@melinaromegialli4995 Yeah, but did you do it, honey?!
These actors were so charismatic and funny! I kind of wished there were some backup singers for when they dance towards the end because their voices go up and down in volume (understandable given the crazy moves they were doing). But it's surprising how well this song fits with male singers! An entertaining performance.
Camera sound issues. But thank you for being a Karen.
@@JewishJeff839 Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for letting me know! I don't see how I was acting like a Karen when I was just trying to give some constructive feedback, though. I apologise if I came across that way but that was not my intention. I really liked the performance overall.
@@bearowl4101 Do Karen's give unwanted constructive feedback? No life? No talent? But you are giving feedback like a Karen?? Why didn't your parents ever love or care about you?
@@JewishJeff839 Woah, woah, there's no need for all that. You don't know if I have a life or talent, and both my parents love me quite a bit. It seems to me that you got personally offended by my one small critique (which was also sandwiched by a lot of praise since I loved the performance overall. If you got confused by me saying "crazy moves", I meant that in a good way) and decided to take it out on me.
I understand being sensitive (I am too) but it's kind of something that has to be worked on to survive the entertainment industry. I apologise for giving the critique unprompted, but my compliment sandwich was a lot less harsh than a lot of other comments people make about art. I'm sure you've heard way worse things from people in the industry. A lot of consumers of media can be assholes (look at what Star Wars fans say about the actors in the film).
I also feel that you're missing the point of what a Karen is. Karens push antivaxxer propaganda, yell at minimum wage workers or threaten to call the cops on a black person for standing in a park. Giving a small criticism amongst a bunch of praise in a CZcams comment (which is where you go to post feedback, the entire point of having a comments section) is not a Karen-like behaviour, though you are welcome to disagree. You shouldn't dilute the meaning of the term to mean 'someone I don't like'.

I just discovered this piece and this is definitely a different take on it. I feel it loses its sort of oomph because you wouldn’t expect women to murder and men in jail is a bit more stereotypical. That being said, I’m totally impressed with the dancing in this. Like, WOW, that guy who did part of the bit standing on one leg has my respect forever. They still did awesome!
"It loses its oomph"? And then you compliment it, Karen? Where do YOU "dance"? Thought so...
This is a very demanding and athletic number, but nobody misses a beat.

I saw Chicago just last week, and I find it interesting how this gives a different feel.
Overall, I think their overexaggerated movements is well placed, mostly the "Spread Eagle" part because it helps give a bit more visual than what was offered in the play I saw. I mean we know it was about sex, the whole thing is about sex and murder, but it adds a bit more flavor and makes it more engaging. I really liked how they interacted with each other, the caressing of the cheeks during that scene is another part that makes it more engaging.
What was really different was the "Not Guilty" person. In the rendition I saw it was a tearful plea for innocence; in this one, it felt more playful, almost like a throwaway "Ha! I did it, but I'm not guilty" what with his dancing around and a large smile almost as if he could get away with an insanity plea.
IDK I just find it interesting that the same play could be received so differently.
The 'spread eagle' is well-explained with a shot in the movie version too.
YES EXACTLY
Every actor wants to be different and not someone else. Just from my point of view
moonrose100 Late to the party here. But re: “Not guilty” ... the way he played it definitely seemed off to me. But I’ve heard of other companies playing it similarly-like the person is guilty and kinda mockingly says “not guilty” at the end or something like that. Kinda defeats the purpose later on when the character is the only one to die. I just always assumed it was meant to be played as though they were in fact innocent. This guy’s playful performance irks me..
@@drewkolar I suppose in context of the whole play, the part should be more serious. But here, where it's a singular performance of the song, it's more effective and contributes to the lighthearted and humorous nature of the performance to have the part played in a more joking manner.
1:01 I’m crying, why does the “cicero” guy sound so far away???
His mic was probably glitching
I’m disappointed that I’m only now coming across this video, five years after it was uploaded! This made my day! 😍☺️😂
The one who sung 'Cicero'/ Velma Kelly's part is literally goals, I wish I was that flexible 😋
his name is ryan Steele. he is AMAZING! :D
He was the original Specs in Newsies (along with being the dance captain)! I am so blown away by his abilities.
Ryan Steele was also in Matilda but understudied Rudolpho
He was in billy Elliot, West Side Story, Newsies and Matilda on Broadway; The Wild Party (with Sutton Foster) off-Broadway and right now he's touring the US with An American in Paris (wich is an amazing show, if you have the chance to see it I highly recommend it!)
