Is it too soon for a Harmony revival? I think we need a Harmony revival. And a Newsies revival. And Come From Away. And 1776. And Assassins. And-

sweeney todd audio gift - february 28, 2023

[untracked audio]

CAST: josh groban (sweeney todd), annaleigh ashford (mrs. lovett), jordan fisher (anthony), gaten matarazzo (tobias), ruthie ann miles (beggar woman), maria bilbao (johanna), jamie jackson (judge turpin), john rapson (beadle bamford), nicholas christopher (pirelli)

notes: decently clear audio. this was the second night of previews so the audience was really excited, lots of laughter and applause. you may hear some other chatter from the people around me, most notably the woman next to me saying "aww" very audibly during the final sequence (...), and a man who sounds like the joker laughing at inappropriate times. but this was a great show, the cast was fantastic and audience energy was high! annaleigh ashford was especially hilarious- when you hear laughter in this audio without a clear cause, it will almost always be because of her visual performance. (slight spoiler) there's a moment in "a little priest" that seems to be a planned break-in like in the most recent music man revival, where ashford attempts to jump on a table and misses, then has another try after that before she succeeds, leaving her and groban trying to contain their laughter. when i was keeping up with audience reviews of previews on reddit, this seemed to be a common note across all of them, but the audience loved it either way. overall a really great show with great performances!

I love sung through shows and the shift into a new song is one of my favorite things. I tried to pick the ones that actually transitioned into each other (ie didn't have a definitive button at the end or dialogue), apologies if I missed any.

Thinking about how Andrew and Anthony would do a ritual backstage before the show to make sure Anthony doesn’t forget one of the fast lines in Four Jews in a Room

An excerpt of possibly my favorite fic I’ve ever written (falsettos)

Marvin felt laughter bubble up in his stomach, exiting his mouth in a giddy burst. It was genuine, loud, and it left his stomach warm. A month ago it was a sound that was completely foreign to him. Marvin didn’t laugh much. He had grown into a bitter, neurotic, and unpleasant man who only laughed with sarcasm or to feign politeness. For Marvin, laughter was a tool to win an argument or to lie his way out of a bad situation. It wasn’t something natural and dizzying that made his entire body feel warm. Nothing in his life was natural. He was trapped in a fake marriage, with a wife he didn’t love, a distant, sullen child, and a psychiatrist who, frankly, just annoyed him.

His life changed when he met Whizzer Brown. Or rather, his entire world was turned upside down. For the first time in years, perhaps for the first time in his life, he was relishing being alive. He allowed himself to indulge in the butterflies in his stomach and the heat overtaking every part of his body. He allowed himself to admire, touch, and hold a man he wanted, who wanted him. He stopped bothering to care about the constant screaming and fighting in his house. He stopped caring about the sobs that wracked Trina’s body every time he came home too late. He didn’t even care that Jason had become angrier, harder, more withdrawn and peculiar, taking to playing chess in solitude. After being taught only how to survive, he was finally starting to live.
