Featuring [fellow Pentatonix vocalist](http://time.com/4544713/pentatonix-hallelujah-video/?iid=sr-link3) Kirstin Maldonado, the trio run through the film’s major plot points and songs all within the low-fi confines of a casual makeshift studio space. From the pensive “City of Stars” (complete with Ryan-Gosling-style hat tricks) to a dizzying version of “Someone In the Crowd,” they bring a whole new spin to the modern movie musical, which just garnered a [record-tying 14 Oscar nominations](http://time.com/4635815/2017-oscars-nominations-list/?iid=sr-link2). And their fans love it: the video has racked up over half a million views in the two days that it’s been live. Watch them bring _La La Land_ to life in a new way, above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4650755/la-la-land-medley-pentatonix/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4650755/la-la-land-medley-pentatonix/"},"headline":"Watch This High-Energy La La Land Reenactment Race Through the Whole Movie","datePublished":"2017-01-26T22:20:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:30.139Z","description":"Buckle up for a wild ride through 'La La Land.'","url":"https://time.com/4650755/la-la-land-medley-pentatonix/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","movies","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4650755/la-la-land-medley-pentatonix/","name":"Watch This High-Energy La La Land Reenactment Race Through the Whole Movie"}}]}] ```
