Forrest Gump: The Musical (parody)

My go at the movie-to-musical adaptation. Check out the live 100th episode of my friend Eli Tokash’s Take A Bow Podcast here, where I performed this song (and where we talked about the origins of this musical lol): https://open.spotify.com/episode/5amF... I also have my own episode!: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Uvm... They are streaming on the other platforms as well. Highly recommend the podcast to anyone interested in Broadway. Thanks Eli for inviting me to The Green Room 42 for this, I had a blast! (This is a parody made for laughs. I don’t own any of the properties related to Forrest Gump. That goes without saying, right? Is this a case where I need to have this for legal reasons? Better safe than sorry I suppose.) (Also, my singing isn’t generally THAT bad. This is for someone who was thinking of casting me in a musical.) END OF THIS VIDEO SECTION ———————————————————————- LIFE UDPATE SECTION Hope my niche YouTube crowd is doing well. Sorry for ghosting you my entire high school life, and for the tragic death of all your comments (thanks YouTube). I am currently in my senior year, and am on the verge of a whole new chapter! I think my absence boils down to a change I wanted in my life, where I could explore more who I was as an individual rather than a branded personality I kind of created for myself. And to see the other forms of art I potentially wanted to pursue more. I would say I did both of those things these past years, though a pandemic certainly did make that journey a little less fun for all of us naturally. I will say that I miss the fun and constant creativity I had with this channel! As well as all the enjoyment it brought other people, which is even more surreal to me now than then. The fact a small amount of you are still here is even insane to me, following me that is. I appreciate everyone who still shows support now and then and has seen me grow up. I have so many creative passions and dreams that I’m bursting at the seams, so hopefully they’ll all explode soon and you can get a peak! Oh, on that note, here is a short film I made with my close friend Olivia Himes and a few other real ones. It’s her baby, she wrote and directed it, but you’ll see me in it, as well as in the assistant director and editor credits (and soundtrack, which is silly). It’s called “Leftovers” and is really funny, heartfelt, and fresh. I highly recommend the watch:    • Leftovers (2022)   I worked on another of Olivia’s movies as editor and actor in a surreal spoken word film called “The Pigs”. Short and beautiful. Check it out:    • The Pigs (2021)   Also, stay tuned for Elle Mill’s short film “REPLY”! I was lucky enough to play the role of Sam Trottier and it was such a pleasure working with her after knowing her for a while. She is an amazing person. Here is the trailer:    • REPLY - Official Trailer | A Short Film by...   Final plug. A play I wrote a while ago was read by some people for TheaterMania’s Young Playwright’s Festival. I was an honorable mention for the contest. It’s called “Coffin Story” and tells the story of a girl buried alive who talks to an ant. I cringe at it quite a bit a couple years later, but it sure felt good to write a play, and I sure am set on becoming better. Here:    • Coffin Story   Okay, that’s all for now. All the love! Really, I love you all! Anthony P.S. oh oh oh one more thing. My Hotel California/mashup on my second channel. Again. I’m so sorry. I’m just too proud of it. More than I should be.    • Видео   P.P.S. This is a fun thing I was a part of at 54 Below before the world got crazy. It’s called “Hell on Earth”, an original musical by Young Actor’s Theatre Camp about puberty and middle school. My song was about me in an all-around unrequited love triangle with a girl (who I like) and boy (who’s gay). Check it out:    • "I'm in Love..." - A Hysterical NEW Song w...
