#Aaron McGregor

It’s incredible (/neg) to me how many celebrities (and people in general) have fallen for the pro Israel propaganda. You’d think with all the people and money celebs have access to that they’d have people trying to educate them on the actuality of the situation.

Especially when being misinformed means these people will broadcast propaganda to millions of people/fans who will eat up everything they say. Esp people whose platforms are usually ones that would seem to naturally lean toward freedom and against genocide and colonialism??

Like how many people are just hearing the one side and are so afraid of being labelled as wrong or anti semitic that they just refuse to challenge the point of view they’re fed? How can we get through to them that the state of Israel is the one in the wrong?

How can we penetrate the walls of people arming themselves with the most available information as ‘the right’ information, who will claim any point of view if it seems like the majority in an attempt to duck out of controversy?

Aaron Tviet singing the original arrangement of El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge! (2001) with BOTH opt ups is exactly what I needed in life and I can officially die peacefully now.

My Favorite Guys❤️

i watched moulin rouge! 2001 today. let me just say while i did love ewan and while i get the appeal i just find it so much less compelling than the stage show… the broadway vers just has so much heart and soul, SO MUCH INTENSE ENERGY so much love and talent and heartbreaking scenes versus the confusion and frankly, low energy, i felt the entirety of the movie. seeing ewan freak out over a hot woman (me too boo) just isnt as impactful as seeing aaron scream his heart out through song. while i believe in the love between the movie counterparts MUCH more, as the show has less romantic development, i BELIEVE in the characters much more in the broadway show.

So, my best friend told me there was a MOULIN ROUGE musical out there and I was VERY curious. Because I love musicals and this movie eats my brain 24/7 since I started to dive into the star wars fandom (Ewan McGregor's filmography really is something else), I gave it a try.

At first, I wasn't convince by the songs they chose. I was nowhere near impressed by the lead singer either. But THEN. I noticed the name.

Aaron Tveit.

"Take me or leave me" was one of the first musical songs I've listened to. So, I gave it a new try. I still don't like to listen to the record but I saw his performance for ROXANNE and... Okay, I can see the ✨

It really isn't his fault if Ewan McGregor's voice is imprinted in my brain for this role. You did just fine Mister T. I guess this is one of these musicals you have to see.

I found the best Christian

I'm here to settle the debate on who is the best Christian in Moulin Rouge, you're welcome.

so I've definitely been here for a while, the movie has been my favourite for almost a decade now at this point and I lost my shit when I found out about the musical, naturally I'm an expert and completely correct (there is a tldr)

my favourite Christian for a long time was Ewan McGregor when it comes to the overall picture, which is pretty basic ngl, but he just had the right amount of stupid retriever boy and good voice. however the original obviously has issues with racism/orientalism etc. when it comes to vocal performance Aaron Tveit takes the cake, but he's way too old/mature for my personal likings. all the other ones I've seen were great too (looking at you Muscato stannies), sure but none of them did it like it was supposed to be done.

BUT NOW, yesterday I went to the show in Cologne (with my princess @uncooldotcom ) which was truly spectacular, I've been looking forward to it for months. Still I was a little disappointed because the main Christian is Riccardo Greco and idk he's giving everything but Christian I'm sorry. Well we didn't see Greco though, because his understudy Markus Fetter went on and let me tell you he's the one.

From the moment he went on he was smilling from one ear to another, eyes glistening, truly no thought behind these eyes golden retriever vibe. He had all of Ewan's childishness/excitement. Young, a bit hunky, but a short king, clumsy and all, not a single care in the world. Even when he was not the centre of the scene he never snapped out of that role. When the betrayal hit he still stayed in character, boyish and still not quite understanding of what's happening before his eyes. The rage and the anger seemed so genuine and not malicious like I've seen so many times in the musical adaptation. He didn't seem old and bitter when his heart got broken, he honestly just seemed like a confused kid AND THAT'S HOW IT HAS TO BE.

(Satine was also amazing really, played by Shanna Slaap (also an understudy), it gave raw and seasoned queen, conceal don't feel etc. I will worship her until the end. She was the perfect grumpy black cat match to the bubbly retriever boy)

And don't get me started on the voice, the range! at first it was all clear and angelic like his whole look and then as the tragedy went on it grew more raspy. Satine and him harmonized perfectly, not overpowering one another and they both filled the theatre easily. Since the whole thing was in german too I thought it would be challenging because of the lyrics, but my man really made all the songs his own, no cringy dub, I know it's hard to believe. needless to say the crescendos in "el tango del Roxanne" were the best I've ever heard, it had low notes, high notes, crisp sounds and raspy sounds, perfect enunciation despite the volume or the choreography. I'd be happy listening to that and nothing else until I die. everything was so sincere so unknowing, so aaaaaaaa (I will not stop talking about it for months) (also I don't think he could be more different irl... bbgirl definitely)

tldr: Christians understudy in Cologne was the perfect characterization and vocalisation of Christian (stupid, happy, boyish, honestly angelic, golden retriever) and I have literally one person in the entire world to talk about it, no cast recording, no way to see it again so I'm writing essays on tumblr to cope with the frustration :)

(here's a picture of them from Shanna's and Markus' story for proof)
