Real ones watched this for Christian Borle

I love the characterization of Christian’s character throughout the song. He starts off literally being guided where to stand and sit by the other dancers, and not really putting effort into the choreo (“The buck stops with me” line). He’s pretty monotone with the lines because he’s just a stand in, why waste the effort? At one point, you can just barely catch him looking off the side at one of the extras miming the rumba hands, like she’s helping to encourage him to let himself get into it. And by the end, he does. He’s still being guided by the other dancers on when to move and where to go, but he’s more in character, more emotive, and he’s having fun with it, like snapping Leslie Odom Jr’s but with a towel.

Christian absolutely KILLED this scene! I swear, he is my favorite actor for a reason
😌🤚

[mckennatroup]

This is my favorite scene from all of Smash. I wish that show had gotten more recognition. I think it was one of the best shows on tv in the last 15 years imo

[stephencombes]

"You make a lovely Zanuck, Tom" I enjoy the scenes showing Derek and Tom being nice to each other 🙂

[色夢戦]

2:15 so ironic of him to say "television just won't last" LOL

[emmalifetube]

I love how everyone calls Christian "Vox", "Emmet"... maybe "Marvin"


But I haven't seen Shakespeare yet so I get to call that out

[hylind]

I honestly love that last lyric.

"And then say yes, cuz yes men, I'm finished."

It sounds like an affirmation that, yes, he's done talking, but it could also be read as him correctly calling them all yes-men, just agreeing to everything he says.

I CANT RUN AWAY FROM THIS SONG CHRISTIAN BORLE LEAVE ME ALONE PLEASE (im literally obsessed with smash)

[KarissaTaylor-bklo]

0:34 He was finally in the room where it happened

[miriamcq]

IS THAT LESLIE ODOM JR. IN THE BACKGROUND? I'M DYING

[ineffablecringe]

Christian is so attractive in this scene oml (he’s attractive any time)

[maxfieldjoyner]

I love how half the comments now are related to Borle playing Vox in Hazbin Hotel.

[PiaPancakes]

I am so attracted to Christian Borle in every role he has played.

[fromingpigeon]

I so wish this had been made into an actual musical!

[REXXltm]

If I had a nickels for every time Christian Borle played a mean media executive, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[theyhateLix]

It hurts being a hazbin fan and theatre fan because everywhere you look there's a hazbin fan saying that the actor IS the character 😭

[junipersr]

"That television just won't last" is not something I'd ever thought I'd hear Vox say.

[fightpainwithmorepain]

it took me three times to watch this to realise Jeremy and Leslie were in the dancers lolll love this song SO much Christian’s voice suits it so much <3
