OKAY, SO I JUST STARTED TO FALL INTO THE PATTI LUPONE RABBITHOLE- DAMN

Okay, I'll start from the beginning.

As someone who started to call myself a musical nerd, I want to listen to more and more pieces and enhance my knowledge. This is also important to me since I live in a non-western country, seeing Broadway someday is my dream. So I mostly spend my free time listening new recordings and fixating on them till I jump to another.

And then, Agatha All Along happened. And god, did Patti Lupone rock my world. Her voice is just so strong and even I can feel there is a huge technique and experience in her singing with my non-musician ear.

Then of course the re-discovery of her "Anything Goes" performance just blew me away. So, my musical obsession plus AAA, I decided to listen other musicals she was in.

AND EVITA!!! God, it is GOOD GOOD. I only finished listening "Good Night and Thank You," so I am still at the beginning, but I just NEEDED to write here. Patti has such a good technique of using her voice that you can immediately recognize her timbre.

I am obsessed, she isn't just a national treasure, she is the TREASURE. And if there is anyone who just started to discover her genius, go and listen the 1979 recording of "Evita"!!! I promise you won't regret.

Traditional studies🖤

Some traditional drawings of films and productions I did for a daily journal exercise in one of my classes because I do also draw traditionally sometimes

The page for the Joan one got a little messed up which I’m very sad about and I had to turn up the saturation for the Patti one just slightly cause the red looks very muted on camera but they turned out alright in the end

i'm kept up at night sick to the stomach by the fact that i may never see evita (2019) (at the new york city center) (starring solea pfeiffer and maia reficco) again. this is the problem with being absolutely infatuated with productions that weren't particularly popular the bootlegs just don't exist. if i ever came across a slime tutorial of this show i'd cherish it more than a first born child you have no clue how important this production of evita is to me

Dream Animated Movie Musical Tournament Seed Round Group D

For information on this tournament as well as the seed poll for group A go here

Why these musicals should be animated movies (in my opinion)

Evita: the way this musical fictionalizes her life is as much of a dark/more-adult fairytale as any given attempt at "adult"-ifying a classic fairy tale Disney made famous

Natasha, Pierre, And The Great Comet Of 1812: if this could be adapted to film at all (and if it could it would do better than you think thanks to potential appeal to the Bridgerton fans) despite the immersive elements of the stage production animation would both more suit any fourth-wall-breaking that could translate to film and suit how hard (in the freaking gorgeous sense) the aesthetic goes

Anyone Can Whistle: while its book might need a facelift if it can be done while keeping the core elements and themes of the story, it's one of Sondheim's most overlooked musicals and deserves the kind of second look Merrily We Roll Along got with its revival (it's just ACW is more obscure so it could need the hype of a movie not just a revival) and I feel like animation would suit the magical-realism of the story

Brigadoon: it's been seeing some renewed interest because of Schmigadoon (which some people unaware of all but the name might think this hypothetical movie would have something to do with) and despite how it's, well, kinda old-fashioned in some of its themes (but then again so's some classic Disney) it's got a certain fairytale-like quality that I think would lend itself well to an animated movie

Shucked: this is essentially a "modern classic" (not quite in fame yet but in the sense of modern musical in the style of classic ones) so it on the movie screen esp. in animation could straddle both worlds enough to appeal to a wide audience without losing what makes it special

Amelie: just like Anyone Can Whistle it's got the kind of magical-realist larger-than-life-ness that'd translate better to animation and just like a lot of musicals in this tournament was previously a movie so animation would help separate the movie-of-the-musical from the original movie

Beetlejuice: this is not just another separate-the-movie-from-the-movie-musical one as I think the musical is enough of its own separate entity but I do genuinely think it'd work better animated especially if we could get Laika on that shit
