Broadway on YouTube
Who knew that YouTube hosted more than home movies and viral videos?
I was looking for news about the upcoming film version of Dreamgirls and found the following video clips on YouTube:
- Behind the Scenes (much longer the clip on the Dreamworks website)
- The Fight Scene & “I am Telling You I’m Not Going” (from Dreamgirls in Concert)
- A H&M commercial using the music from Dreamgirls (this version on David LaChapelle’s website is higher quality)
There’s tons of clips from Wicked, Rent, and Phantom of the Opera; but YouTube also has some more deliciously obscure clips. Here’s a few highlights:
- The original deleted ending from the film version of Little Shop of Horrors
- Stephanie Mills singing “Home” (from The Wiz)
- Mine, All Mine (a song added to the UK version of Bat Boy)
- Josh Groban singing “Anthem” (from Chess in Concert)
- John Hill & Michael Arden singing the title song from Bare
- A mashup of songs from Annie, sung by casts around the world (the Australian Annie is precious)
- The Temptations, singing a psychadelic medley from Fiddler on the Roof (and Part 2)
- Diana Ross, joining the Temptations, in “The Rhythm of Life” (from Sweet Charity)
Old commercials for 3 Broadway Shows:
Of course, there’s still plenty of mind-bogglingly odd home movies:
- Two guys at night in a parking lot singing “Defying Gravity”
- A homemade trailer for Carrie: The Musical
- And tons and tons of Japanese animation and World of Warcraft video set to show tunes (in this case, Avenue Q)
Wow, great finds!
