That’s it, no surprise: the 3rd confinement in F That’s it, no surprise: the 3rd confinement in France is here to stay! We know these are hard times for many of you, we hear you, and that’s why we are bringing Dear Neighbors back! Yay! Yay but keep reading, because WE CHANGE THE RULES. Because we all need to challenge ourselves with new stuff, this time we are not going to ask you to record a classic video of yourselves singing Broadway, nope… This time we invite you to a BROADWAY RACE, meaning videos will be shorter and you can totally lip-sync! Here’s an example from the wonderful Ben Platt: https://twitter.com/t_3official/status/1369379158493720578?s=12 And here you have the rules: - Deadline is Sunday 18th of April - Videos have to be less than 1 minute - You can lip-sync (although in the example Evan Hansen doesn´t, we know). We repeat: you CAN lip-sync, and actually for comedy reasons we encourage you to do so! - We recommend this time to shoot videos in vertical format, but you can use horizontal if you prefer - Broadway tunes ONLY, and please do NOT use the following musicals: Hamilton, Waitress, Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen, Frozen, Frozen 2. Yes, we’re serious, please don’t use any of these. - Videos have to be new, for the Dear Neighbors musical, not old videos, or audition videos, or videos you have already published somewhere else. Yeah, just like Eurovision! - This time is about fun videos, don’t forget it 😉 - Please state your name, name of the song(s), musical and COMPOSER in the video - You can do your video on your own, or do a (virtual) duet, or a (virtual) group number, or drink wine on camera, or duet with yourselves, or sing with your cat, or… You know the drill! - Once you have the video, please send it to amtlive.openmic@gmail.com, you can use a Dropbox link or WeTransfer Let us know if it’s not clear, but basically we are asking you to get in touch with the Muses (if Hercules allows) and write a 1 minute script to put a smile in everybody’s faces. Once again: you can lip-sync, and you don’t want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity! Are you excited? Call your friends and start having fun brainstorming, it’s gonna be super mega awesome!
⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - The Croquet Syndrome C ⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - The Croquet Syndrome Company. This is the last video of this current episode of Dear Neighbors, and how ironic it is ending it saying "bonjour" from different continents! The Croquet Syndrome Company did it again, because there's no challenge they cannot overcome... Do you want to congratulate these wonderful artists? Here you have their names: Sydney, Caroline, Cécile, Maria-Cristina, Fabio, Danny, Dov and Jon! This time it wasn't Sondheim but one of our favorite Disney movies, and who would have thought that Gaston had to be Italian and Belle Canadian instead of French, ha! Thanks very much to all of our Dear Neighbors! We love you and we miss you very dearly...
⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - Matt. We are almost do ⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - Matt. We are almost done with this 4th episode of Dear Neighbors, but before we go let's welcome one of our regular singers: Matt! And Matt wants us to travel with him to Ireland and discover the musical "A Man Of No Importance", by the amazing composers Arhens & Flaherty. Don't forget to love and comment the video, and bravo to Matt!!
⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - Caroline. We needed so ⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - Caroline. We needed some Disney in this new episode, and Caroline is here for us! Also, it's always a pleasure to hear you singing but also playing your own instruments, because hey, that's how talented our community is! Let's enjoy this sweet and smooth version of "He's A Tramp" with Caroline and her guitar!
⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - Something Musical. We ⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV ⭐ - Something Musical. We are really tempted to say nothing and just let you watch the video with no introduction... We salute the choice of the song, we salute the production, the imagination, the special FX, the fidelity to the original Brodway production... What's not to like in here? Ladies and gentlemen: the company Something Musical with Avenue Q! Enjoy! (And the internet is not ONLY for p...)
⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS VI ⭐ - Mathieu. We continue o ⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS VI ⭐ - Mathieu. We continue our Broadway aventure with one of the best musicals from the Golden Age: the fabulous "Guys & Dolls"! (And one day we will need to discuss the translation of this title in France, ehem...) Once again, Mathieu surprises us with a song very different from the ones that he has previously sung for us, and he challenges himself (and the rest of us!) with a company number all on his own! Let's give a big round of applause to Mathieeeeeu!
⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV⭐ - YANNICK. Today, Yannic ⭐ DEAR NEIGHBORS IV⭐ - YANNICK. Today, Yannick: This neighbor needs no introduction: Yannick! And Yannick brings a beautiful tune from one of the most charming musicals ever written, "My Fair Lady". Yes, wouldn't it be loverly if we could meet again in real life, and sing and dance in person? In the meantime we can, however, sit down and enjoy masterpieces such as this one... Let's open this new chapter of Dear Neighbors with multiple Yannicks this time!
