@Alexandre - The dept chair (Wagner) was concerned (rightfully, I think) about the bootleg video because it may show some of his students in less than their best voice. The NYC showcase is not a concert, it’s an audition in front of Broadway casting directors and casting agents, and for the Musical Theatre students, it’s a culmination of 4 years of work - like a capstone. This can, and for Michigan students often does, lead to their big break in the industry, so there is a lot of effort to control all aspects, including control of the content. (maybe too much). Ironically, IMO, the informal setting of the video matched with the terrific voices matched with the excellent musical arrangement made it magical and all the nice things @wayneandgarth said above. In the end, no harm done I think, and the Michigan kids will continue to find success on the NYC stages. Go Blue!
