Phantom Of The Opera/Seth Rudetsky debacle

I like you. :)

"Phantoms maaaaask" LOL!!!!!!!!

1. You are so charming.  What's so funny is how talented and smart you are, while throwing away the things you say and do like it's nothing. Very funny and lovely/humble. 2. I LOVE listening to the music the way you do. Pointing out techniques with the singers as well as the orchestra...very educational and enhancing my experience with excellent music. 3. At the very least, it is fun to just listen to a song with you, even if you don't deconstruct it that much. love, a growing fan : )

XD I am laughing too loudly for this late at night.

Seth, I love you, your stories are fantastic, your deconstructions are amazing, but I have to ask one question: why the film soundtrack? I mean...Michael Crawford>Gerard Butler.

HAHA, I love this. Also, I sat in the second row when I saw Phantom, and when I looked into the pit, I'm pretty sure I saw that bass player. Wearing the mask. I was thrown. It was a few years ago :p

lol i love how its the film soundtrack :P

YOU ARE A BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT musician and comedian! Thank you for making me laugh!!!

I wish I could play piano for Phantom, I do an amazing overture :D

Oh, that is too FUNNY!!! YOU are to funny! I am also a female Bass player, used to sub a LOT for Phantom in Sydney Australia. I now live in NY - is that where you are? If you are, I know who the female Bass player is for Phantom in NY...Ha, Haaaa!!! Yours is one of the funniest Pit stories I've ever heard - THANK YOU!!! :)

i;m seeing this production 2 weeks from Friday. SOOO EXCITED.! sucks that Tour 3 is closing

Seth, you need your own show!! I'm also a pit player, and you described the absurdity and abject boredom that forces us to play around perfectly.

You are tOO funny!

Too funny!!! Lol! He is so hilarious! Thanks, Seth, for bring so open.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Laugh at that every time :)

ikr?! haha....ixnay....bwa ha ha he's sooooo freakin hilarious:)

omg. i've watched this like 100 times, and it never fails to make me laugh (:

Don't worry, I won't show it to ALW.

my thoughts exactly.

You are a RIOT!

Me too! Being a Piano performance major is tough stuff, but hopefully it will be worth it after I graduate! Playing on Broadway would be so awesome!

I love this video. I saw Phantom of the Opera last Friday with a friend and I thought about this little story. You're hilarious!

ahah that is hilarious! Theater mishaps can be funny sometimes lol. You are sooooo lucky you can play in the pit for Phantom. Im a young pianist and performer, and id love to be able to one day play the piano for a Broadway show.
