Listen to what the music does in this clip, and pay attention to what the Beast is saying about Belle. What can we get from that?

Broadway has turned into something commercialised and all about money, rather than stages for stories to be shared. people only care about how much money shows make, but people never give new shows a try so amazing new shows that tell important stories and production and soundtrack and actors close. if there's not a big tv (specifically tv, people don't care about actual BROADWAY legends anymore) name for the media or it's not a revival people don't care. new musicals that tell historical stories that shouldn't be forgotten close after a few months, no matter how amazing the story or score or set or actors are. Broadway isn't about the heart anymore, it's about money and big names. it's barely even for theatre people.

Lempicka is closing and i am devastated for so many reasons. Harmony already closed earlier this year.

Tamara de Lempicka was a famous painter. she was married to a rich man, and originally painted their daughter or landscapes and things like that, but she eventually painted Rafaela -- her girlfriend. she painted her mainly naked and they loved each other. she was a bisexual painter, and more than that a brilliant painter, and she is being forgotten. she was part Jewish, too. she fled to Paris with her husband, which is where she met Rafaela.

there's a musical about her. it's closing on May 19th. it opened officially on Broadway on April 14th. both this year.

The Comedian Harmonists were a band. they were an internationally popular German band between 1928 and 1934. 3 of the 6 of them were Jewish. Nazi Germany started in 1933. you can probably piece together what happened, but i'll tell you anyway. they were separated and erased. they were not forgotten, they were erased. Nazis destroyed almost all of their recordings. the Harmonists never saw each other again. their names were Ari Leschnikoff, Harry Frommermann, Robert Biberti, Roman Cycowski, Erwin "Chopin" Bootz and Erich A. Collin.

there was a musical about them. it closed on February 4th, and opened officially on Broadway on November 13th (2023).

do not let Tamara or the Harmonists go forgotten. listen to Lempicka and Harmony. research the people. find bootlegs of the musicals if you can. learn about them. teach about them. please, don't let people forget about them.

this isn't about the musicals closing, these are about important people being forgotten and erased from history. please, don't let this happen.

One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

The Belle of New York / Vera-Ellen as Angela Bonfils

Actually, it's a little tricky to say whether Vera-Ellen is supposed to be Angela Bonfils in this scene or not, as it's a sort of fantasy sequence based on Currier and Ives prints. Maybe it's Angela's self-insert past fantasy? (Also, props to Vera-Ellen and Fred Astaire for doing their own skating.)

Anyway, the ermine-trimmed coat and hat are very cute. Raising the skirt for purposes of skating makes the dress look more like the 1950s, which is also when the movie was made. Helen Rose was responsible for the women's costumes in this film.

Listening to instrumentals from the silly doo-wee-ooo show is actually something that can be so painful.

This took me a while to get back to but I finished updating Bard Jams through the season 2 finale!!

The final song reference in the Oddysey/Legacy storyline is Move On from Sunday in the Park with George. This puts the first two seasons at 262* individual songs referenced in total!

I’ll continue updating this playlist through s3, but also Will’s upcoming campaign, The Peachyville Horror! Because I’ll be including his second campaign, I’m interested to go back to Fetch Quest and add any additional references from in between the ones for s1 and 2. Would y’all like those on the playlist if there are any?

* Kidz Bop WAP where are you….. please come to spotify……
