what she says: I’m fine 

what she means: I don’t understand why they can’t professionally record broadway shows and release them to the public, there would be no need for bootlegs, broadway fans FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD could watch, it would help expand the theatre community and preserves something that is so beautiful and special to so many people.

Happy International Lefthanders Day, August 13! 

Did you know that the Phantom first was presented as left-handed in the 1986 musical? This because the man originating the role, Michael Crawford, is left-handed in real life. So the green quilt pen was placed on the left side of the organ. Though most Phantoms to follow him has been right-handed, the pen is still placed on the left side.

Let’s take a minute to recognize, Spring Awakening’s performance is the first time an actress who uses a wheelchair is on the stage at the Tony Awards

What she says: I'm fine

What she means: People interpreting On My Own as an unrequited love song are completely missing the point of the entire song, not to mention Eponine's character. Why do they do this why must I see this all the time? The point of the song is flat out her saying that she's not in love with Marius at all, but rather the IDEA of being with Marius ffs. It has nothing to do with unrequited love. She's basically saying "I have nothing to live for and I'm lonely af so it looks like my fantasies are the only thing keeping me alive at this point." Eponine is in no way a simple victim of unrequited love, she's a victim of shitty circumstances and abuse who feels like NO ONE loves her and when this guy was nice to her she attached herself to him despite not ACTUALLY being in love with him at all. Fuck unrequited love, the love was never there, and THAT is what makes Eponine such a tragic character.

Why do people assume that just because someone loves theatre they want to be an actor?
