#Bare A Pop Opera

[winter-asleepening]

It’s a vicious cycle

[aaaaaa-musical-trash]

rock musicals just hit different

[romnianistan]

"matthew lloyd was just a teen who tried to do as much good as he could for his friends, was misled in his judgment by his religious upbringing, made one very big mistake and genuinely, deeply regretted it; he is not the villain of the show but one of its many victims" AND "matthew lloyd was an entitled straight male teenager who got so mad that one girl told him "no" that he went ahead and outed a gay guy knowing this would result in his losing all his friends, his family and his scholarship; even though the audience understands where he's coming from, he is very much a product of a sexist and homophobic society and it's pretty distasteful to victims of (sexist/homophobic) male violence and high school bullying to try and redeem him so hard" AND "matthew lloyd is a morally fascinating character and it's understandable he'd get so much focus from the fans" AND "it's kind of annoying how the only straight guy out of a main cast of 5 characters otherwise only comprised of women and gay guys, is the one who is the focus of most of the fanworks for the show especially when there aren't that many fanworks to begin with", are ideas that can and should coexist

y’all ever realize every 2-3 months that bare a pop opera is the best musical ever written and you need to devote your entire life to it

[narcissusinamirrormaze]

Musicals as things I or other people have said

Hamilton: I always like to take a shot at our right wing audience members

Jekyll and Hyde: I’m going to drink this, and then I’m going to fight my shadow

Dear Evan Hansen: once in a while my mom is like; clean your room. Clean your attitude. Clean your face

Heathers: no amount of bleach can kill my mind

Mean Girls: you are so straight it disgusts me

Next to Normal: if the voices in your head are saying it, it must be true

Beetlejuice: the emo effect just makes you emo

Be More Chill: I can live in the ear canal

Wicked: if a blonde has glasses she’s an oxymoron, if she doesn’t have glasses she’s just a moron

Les Mis: here’s a rock. Go to the frontlines

Waitress: you know what pie makes me think of? DOGS!

Rent: hobos are capable of anything

Book of Mormon: you can’t steal God’s chips

Sweeney Todd: Jacques, I will cut out your tongue

Little Shop of Horrors: I wanted a piece of that guy’s face

Bare a pop opera: I am a happily married gay man

Ride the Cyclone: that rat is prettier than you

Phantom of the Opera: I am going to kill every composer that puts fortissimo in percussion

[almayver]

This is easily one of the most heartbreaking lyrics ever and it's so simple but it tells you so much. So much about their relationship through the years and their dynamic and their feelings

[waffle-bubbles]

Sorry for forcing you to listen to my gay little musicals

[archiveoftragedies]

The way Jason auditions with the monologue that says "I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes/ and but thou love me, let them find me here/ my life were better ended by their hate"

Still not over Bare after 5 fucking years apparently

[kaiskornerart]

[winter-asleepening]

Jokes on you that’s all of them

[dyke-deanwinchester]

“i need you to look at me, mom. i need you to really look at me. and see me.”

spn 12x22 “who we are” / “see me” from bare: a pop opera / “telephone wire” from fun home

[natalie-goodmn]

I’ve said it before but Jack Wolfe needs to be in Bare a Pop Opera to complete the Angsty Rock Musical trio (Bare, Spring Awakening, Next to Normal)

[broadwaymemesandbrokendreams]

i’m watching the 2004 off broadway bare and peter… opens the coffin in epiphany??? does he see jason in there??? does he have some vague memory of seeing jason dead that haunts him through the rest of the show??? i have so many questions this version is fascinating

[deeplyshalllow]

I just can't get over how different Bare: a pop opera and Bare the musical are? Like different songs, different people singing songs, different plotlines, radically different characterisations. It's like two completely independent adaptions of the same story.

Like what is this? Chess?
