#In The Heights

If you ever feel like you’ve made bad decisions just remember that somewhere out there is a theatre director at an all-white high school about to choose the spring musical

“Musicals are bad” “musicals are overrated” they are amazing and they have brought us some of the greatest songs, plays and movies ever and some of you just hate having a good time

Inspired by @thatoneteen ! :)

(I’m not trying to get notes or attention, I just keep putting off watching these and I need a push so I’m using this method)((Basically I’m a bad theatre kid cause I procrastinate and want help))

From the amount of notes I get, I’ll watch the musical/movie!

And yes my thoughts will be linked!

Please feel free to leave any extra suggestions, I’d love to see more!

Stephanie Beatriz talking about being very conscious about choosing queer roles to play because she doesn’t want to have bad portrayals of her community out there.

Also, she feels very lucky now people reach her to play queer roles, like Vivienne came to her with the Vaggie role.

Why are people being so mean??

Like I didn't even know that hating on Lin Manuel Miranda was a thing?

Are you guys ashamed of your Hamilton phase to the point that you hate the guy for just having a successful career?

Idk for you, but for me Lin being everywhere is the funniest shit ever.

damn i sure do love in the heights i wish new york was real

[kim-the-miserable-rat]

MY THERAPIST: Lin Manuenjolras can't hurt you, he is not real.

LITERALLY

LIN MANUENJOLRAS:

THE TIME (WHOOOOT?)

IS NOW (WHOOOOOT?)

THE DAY (WHOOOOT?)

IS HEREEEEEE (YOOO!)

So, we all know the "I Want" song type – but what about the "I Wanted" song? A song where a character bitterly reflects on their former dreams, and they chastise themself for having been naive enough to believe they'd come true?

For instance:

I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables

Legally Blonde from Legally Blonde

Breathe from In the Heights

No Good Deed from Wicked

Pretty Funny from Dogfight

There's a Fine, Fine Line from Avenue Q

Flowers from Hadestown

What do y'all think?

EDIT: Just noticed that these are all sung by female characters. Anyone got any examples for a male character?

i need need need headcanons for anthony with a gf who’s like got a career in STEM and she’s super smart and as an actor he’s amazed by her lmao.

this is so cute! thanks anon

I’m looking for a woman in STEM - Anthony Ramos x F! Reader

prompt: headcanons for Anthony who’s girlfriend is in STEM - i’ve picked biomed for a degree since my mom wanted me to do biomed in high school

TW: mentions of academic stress and panic attacks, mention of drugs used in medicine, mention of mental illness

🔬 when you both first met, and he first asked for where you graduated from, let me tell you - mans did NOT expect you to say ‘Cambridge’

🔬 ‘Oh, so like Cambridge College in Massachusetts?’

🔬 This man omg

🔬 When you said ‘No, England’ he felt goosebumps cause like ‘geez louise CAMBRIDGE?’ and when you casually said you did biomed he was like ‘wait what-’

🔬 ‘Me? Oh, I did Musical Theatre’ he says matter of factly, and you’d add ‘Oh, I played piano when I was in elementary-’

🔬 You’d be the definition of a perfect golden child. He knows that couldn’t have been easy

🔬 When you two do start dating, he’s always bragging ‘Oh my girlfriend does lab research for this new supplement for this drug for schizophrenia in children-’ HE’S A PRO YAPPER. Especially in interviews.

🔬 He’s so proud of everything you’ve done - doing medicinal research at NYMC (New York Medical College)

🔬 Maybe in the winter as you two are baking (you always make sure the measurements are perfect, never letting him measure anything out lol) he always says baking is an ‘art’

🔬 ‘Actually babe, it’s chemistry’ you’d chuckle, taking a bite out of some gingerbread cookies, and ever since, he’s jokingly kept a lab coat and goggles and chides you for ‘not tying your hair in the lab’.

🔬 You’d tell him about how hard high school and college was for you, having to get a scholarship, going to British private schools because the medicine industry is mad competitive and honestly, you need to show something off in your application.

🔬 You’d tell him how even though you did Cambridge IGCSE and A level courses all throughout high school, it was no match for what England had in store for you - panic attacks became a weekly thing.

🔬 I mean, you did Pure Math, Biology, Chemistry and Psychology A and AS levels for gods sake - its an absolute mindfuck.

🔬 He’s always there to reassure her how smart she is and that she’s human no matter what - that college is over, and the drug trials will end up great, and a bunch of kids will get some damn good medication.

🔬 He LOVES it when you come watch his shows and movies. It means the absolute world to him.

🔬 Soon, he kind of drifted away from theatre after Hamilton, and started in film, and would always get super excited whenever he’d get some remotely science-y role.

🔬 Like in In Treatment, he’d come to you for help for some advice on his role, on some deeper level analysis (not as deep as an actual therapist guys, just a psych student level) and you’d be squealing with pride when you see him on TV.

🔬 And when he got into the more Sci-Fi movies like Transformers, he’d tell you ‘it’s not that deep, baby.’ whenever he’d catch your brows furrow in confusion at the misuse of a niche scientific term

🔬 He’d be so happy when he landed Twisters, even though you weren’t a meteorology student, your use of organic chemistry would def have some revelations when watching Kate use some form of polycarbonate.

🔬 ‘they’re right! they use silver iodide for cloud seeding!” you’d giggle.

🔬 affectionately calls you ‘nerd’ all the time.

— for anyone not british, igcse is from grades 9-10 and a levels are a bit like AP! but like they have a lot of depth. you’re not expected to do more than three.
