Hi, everyone it's me, Seth Rudetsky rehearsing "They're Playing Our Song" for the Actor's Fund, Monday August 30th buy tickets ASAP, all right
Everything about this feels right
Everything is perfectly fine at this minute and this time I'm finding that light
Shining on me looking so bright
feeling alive
I'm gonna recreate a few of my favorite moments from They're Playing Our Song. One is just a rehearsal moment, not in the show
But I'm obsessed, okay features first of all Matt Loehr
an amazing dancer, abs, got it going on and Tyler Maynard, known for his high notes, and his unprofessionalism
It's his signature! Anyhoo so I was in
rehearsal and Matt was rehearsing uh one of Dennis Jones's amazing choreographic sections from the show
And I was just watching Matt do it
and Tyler walked by and made a comment that I'm obsessed with so this is actually what happened in rehearsal, all right?
So Matt start from your dance break girls here. 5 6 7 8
Matt you're such a good mover
it's amazing! inappropriate
(singing)
I'm here with my co-star Sutton Foster. Who's wearing more makeup?
I am. Anyway the point is I'm focusing on the end of her big 11 o'clock number [yawn]
I decided she's basing it on Gimme Gimme if you recall which was what Sutton Foster? Your ending? My favorite
(sings)
Straight to vibrato wow. Now. I will show the difference.
Maybe a lower key.
first first let me hear the boring all straight tone ending
I still believe in love
No release. No release and now the headachey "I train with opera" all Vibrato ending
I still believe in love
Where's the earthquake? and now finally the ending that it should be I'm talking straight
You wait to the last possible moment as the orchestra holds it and adds the sassiness you add the sassiness yourself
the pressure.
I still believe in love
Thank you. Thank you
First one the first one was looking here
And then the second one is looking towards each other and then we step oh yeah
Then you step with your downstage foot and like try to get a better view so this is audience
something's about to happen and it's over there
Uh-huh, and nothing happens. [I] think we want to pick up the last, the last two hits there. Yeah
All right, so I'm obsessed with some of the steps he came up with in the song "Right"
So you know Sonya has these three voices in her head that sort of represent like her subtext and her inner thoughts so she sings
I can she's going on this weekend with this guy
She just met essentially and she sings "I can hear those voices inside of me telling me my heart would not lie to me"
Very very positive so Dennis how did you come up with your your hilarity well
I mean, she is presuming that the voices in her head are going to be on her side in her corner
But they actually completely disagree
They are against the relationship, and they're saying you know to go the other way lady
so I love that
I love that the actual thinking that they don't agree is actually choreographed for the head cock
I can hear those voices
inside of me, telling me my heart
Wouldn't lie to me
yeah, we call that move say what
I'm also obsessed with the Kristen Chenoweth flip flip
Where'd that come from?
It's a 70s flip flip. I don't know it seems, sort of Charlie's Angels inspired
Anyhoo, my other, the other thing I'm
Obsessed with are the paddle turns at the end
What's up with that?
They have a repeated lyric over and over "Gonna get it right, gonna get it right"
Two of the egos are doing paddle turns to the right and one's doing paddle turns to the left
So it's literally the cheapest joke
In conclusion come see They're Playing Our Song with this cast of equity members
It's starring Sutton Foster
Tony Award winner and myself it is Monday August 30th. You can call to get tickets besides going to Actorsfund.org
It's this number right below me
Can't afford the graphic - PS It's an amazing part for me
It's like crazy dramatic
Hilarious I have tons of songs to sing it's literally a dream come true. Tyler's seen me run the whole show
Seth is such a good pianist
