Never shared me experience meeting Bryce Pinkham but this is only going to be relatable to all you broadway nerds out there:

So I went to Lvl Up Expo this year and I was soooo excited to meet the Helluva cast and see the Hazbin Panel. The lines were super long so I only met Bryce and Brandon this time but I had a question I’d been wanting to ask Bryce for a while.

So I lived in NYC until 4 years ago (had to leave for family reasons) but I was there for theater. My biggest broadway idol has been Hugh Panaro for years and I was so fortunate to see him in a few shows over the years. His voice has absolutely captivated me for so long. It’s so unique and emotional and always makes me feel so many emotions. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone quite like him before.

Then in 2015 I saw A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder and was awed by Bryce’s performance.

Years go by and I didn’t think about Bryce for a while (idk why prob cuz I never saw him in anything else) and then when I got into Helluva I was so drawn to Stolas immediately and how emotional and captivating his VA is. So I was like I gotta look up who this is and lo and behold I was like holy shit!

So I went to Lvl Up this year and I approach Bryce and I was like hey I have such a random question for you. I know you do broadway a lot and I used to live in NYC and my absolute favorite actor has been Hugh Panaro for forever and I bring this up because you remind me so much of him. I can’t think of anyone else who has such an emotional and genuine singing voice and I was curious if you know Hugh at all.

He smiled and was like I’m actually really good friends with Hugh. I’ll tell you a story. When my wife was pregnant, Hugh used to come over and sing to our baby.

As well as being a close friend, he said Hugh is also an idol of his and it just made my little broadway heart so happy. Then he signed a photo in his Stolas voice as he wrote everything which also made me die.

But all this to say, Bryce is the absolute best and if you get a chance to meet him definitely do! Also if you don’t know Hugh Panaro you are missing out big time.

I have lots of pics from when I’ve met Hugh I may or may not post idk but if you want to see my Lvl Up pics and what Bryce wrote for me I’ll tag my post here.

Idk if anyone will care but if you’re a broadway nerd like me you’ll probably appreciate this too 🖤

i'm going to cry??? i love her so much it's so amazing to have queer actors, especially non binary actors and hes. talking about it and it's just... i've never really seen myself in anything, like yeah in some cartoons and in community but there was only really one cartoon ive seen with a character so much like me with an autistic and queer storyline and in community he's not canonically queer and yeah May isnt canonically autistic but it's like... a non binary character. with a story so similar to mine, and they're talking about it, and i just feel so seen whenever Justin talks about being queer.

being non binary can be so lonely, but when i see things like this, or talk to people like me, or just remember that theres people like me, like her... everything feels so much safer. so much more secure. yes, it can be lonely, but it can bring us together and it can create a community. i love being non binary and May helped me accept that i am. because when i was so scared of being outside the binary, and when i was trying to convince myself that if i'm not a girl i can be a boy, i saw May and they helped me. because non binary actors help me know that this wont stop me from doing what i love and having a good life. because if theres people like him, it's okay.

I was watching a Broadway play and one of the actors was in a spandex Spiderman costume. I got into a fistfight with him in the lobby after the show.

Batfam Goes to See Hamilton (Thanks to Jason Todd)

note: based on the fact that i saw hamilton on broadway today!

So, Jason somehow managed to drag the entire Batfam to see Hamilton—because yes, Red Hood is a theater nerd, and apparently, none of them can say no when he’s excited about something. Here’s how it went down:

Jason Todd: Living for it. Jason knows all the lyrics by heart and is practically singing under his breath the whole time. He’s vibing hard to every song, mouthing along to My Shot like he’s in the show. You’d think he was a one-man standing ovation from the way he keeps reacting to every scene. He also goes full nerd mode explaining all the historical inaccuracies and why they don’t matter because the storytelling is incredible.

Bruce Wayne: Very confused, but engaged. He’s trying to get into it, but you can see the gears turning in his head, over-analyzing every political angle and historical context. He does appreciate the themes of legacy, sacrifice, and honor (classic Bruce). He might’ve even shed a few tears during It’s Quiet Uptown, but he’ll deny it forever.

Dick Grayson: Having the time of his life. Dick is the one clapping the loudest, laughing at all the jokes, and crying during the emotional songs. He’s completely caught up in the performance, and by the time The Room Where It Happens comes on, he’s all but bouncing in his seat. He also loves the choreography and probably made a mental note to learn the dances later.

Tim Drake: Secretly loving it but pretending to be indifferent. Tim walked in like he was only going to humor Jason, but by the end of Act 1, he’s fully invested. He tries to keep a straight face, but you can catch him mouthing the words to Wait for It and tapping his fingers during The Room Where It Happens. He’s obsessed with the way the show mixes history, strategy, and storytelling, and he’s definitely taking mental notes on things to google later for a deep dive into historical rabbit holes. After the show, he’s already re-watching bootleg clips on YouTube, but if anyone asks, he’ll just say, “It was fine.”

Damian Wayne: Not impressed. Damian doesn’t see the appeal. He’s sitting there with his arms crossed, giving side-eye to everyone clapping or singing along. “I could’ve done better,” he mutters after Guns and Ships, but you catch him tapping his foot during Yorktown, and he seems unusually focused during the duel scenes. Maybe it’s growing on him… but he’ll never admit it.

Stephanie Brown: Living her best life. Steph is totally into it. She’s laughing at all the jokes, especially King George’s bits, and probably even got Bruce to crack a smile. She’s belting out Helpless and Satisfied in her seat and whispering excitedly to Cass about how they should come back for the next performance. She’s already planning a Hamilton-themed karaoke night after.

Cassandra Cain: Loving the energy. Cass isn’t much for words, but she’s totally feeling the performance. The choreography and intensity of the actors keep her fully engaged. She’s watching every movement with laser focus, and you can see her appreciating the way the actors tell the story through body language. She’s not super vocal about it, but afterward, she signs to Jason that it was “powerful.”

Duke Thomas: Totally into the music. Duke is all about the beats and rhythm. He’s vibing in his seat, really feeling the music and lyrics. You catch him nodding along during Wait for It and The Room Where It Happens, and he’s probably already added the soundtrack to his Spotify. He’s impressed by the storytelling through music and keeps shooting Jason looks like, “Okay, you were right—this is awesome.”

At the end of the show, Jason’s the first to stand up, clapping like his life depends on it, and despite the varied reactions, everyone else follows suit.
