Miss munroe……

[almosteverythingnerd]

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

You love the LOTR musical and Bandstand??? Where have you been hiding? :D

Hi!! Love being in the mix of this very specific venn diagram hahaha :D

The LOTR musical is a very recent obsession - so glad to discover it! And bandstand is such a fantastic musical.

[almosteverythingnerd]

more lotr sydney bows bc i caved and went again

[almosteverythingnerd]

Happy LOTR Musical Gift Exchange Day!!!!! @lotrmusical here is your gift!!!!!!! I hope you like it and also thank you so much for organizing everything!!!

[almosteverythingnerd]

bows for the lotr musical in sydney!

[almosteverythingnerd]

Slightly more detailed gushing about the lotr musical:

The costumes were gorgeous, particularly legolas

Gildor was in it!!!!!

Elrond said to arwen something like "this would not be the first time that one of our kin wished to marry a common mortal :/" sir that's your ANCESTORS and also your SIBLING IN LAW asdfghjkl. My friends and i cracked up but nobody else did

Having the actors play instruments onstage was sooooo good

The puppets for the nazgûl horses and shelob were gorgeous

Everything about gollum! Very sympathetic and very good. Unfortunately the Gollum Voice™ was, understandably, pretty silly sounding, so there was a lot of laughter in what were probably supposed to be emotional moments

Gimli and legolas!!!

One choice about the script i didn't love was the making everything about galadriel. She's very good in this but like, they really make her and lothlórien The Most Important (is rivendell a joke to you??)

Arwen my beloved!!!! Her getting lots of songs was great

The elf gesture-dancing was beautiful and fit SO well

Really specific thing: when the big battle was happening in slow motion, sam and frodo came onstage walking up mount doom, and that's SO fun and could only be done onstage!

Likewise, there was a bit where frodo and gollum doubled each other, saying the same stuff and moving the same, to show the ring's corruption!

Also they gave us a dilf elrond in a cool outfit. So that's always nice

(@ my friends who went with me, add on please!! I've almost certainly forgotten something lol)

[almosteverythingnerd]

the LOTR musical being so condensed means that Frodo is experiencing The Horrors almost nonstop at breakneck speed.

[almosteverythingnerd]

Since it's bilbo and frodo's birthday, here's two fun facts about the lotr musical:

They had everybody in the audience sing happy birthday to bilbo at the start of the show

There was a fun little party game in one of the aisles that the actors and audience played before the start. And that party game? Ring toss
