*I am defining a “sondheim musical” as a musical that stephen sondheim was directly involved with and helped create (ex: sondheim did not compose the music in west side story, but he wrote lyrics for it therefore I still consider it a “sondheim musical”)
**he worked on NINETEEN musicals I couldn’t possibly fit them all in here

"Patience"
Said, woman, take it slow, and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar, take the time, cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it
Aw, I'll never break it
Cause I can take it
Tumblr media
It doesn't matter where you are or where you go; it's always hot on April 8th. 🔥
Happy Birthday to the talented and respected, sexiest bastard on the planet.
Izzy Stradlin.

"Think About You"
Somethin' changed in this heart of mine
You know that I'm so glad that you showed me
Honey, now you're my best friend
I wanna stay together 'til the very end
Ooh, it was the best time I can remember
Ooh, and the love we shared, is loving that'll last forever
I think about you, honey, all the time, my heart says yes
I think about you, deep inside I love you best
I think about you, you know your the one I want
I think about you, darling you're the only one ...

"Dust N' Bones"
There's no logic here today
Do as you got to, go your own way
I said, that's right
Time's short your life's your own
And in the end we are just
Dust an' bones
Dust an' bones
Dust an' bones

All of my love. Happiest of birthdays, Izzy. You have my heart. (My heart says yes!)

Was thinking while watching that scene where Pol tells Ada about her abortion.
Polly really doesn't take on the mum role in the family to my mind, or even the matriarch/aunt tbh. And I think, there was some summary somewhere that referred to her as the consigliere and while she does perform a certain bouncing-board, plan formation role with Tommy (and only with Tommy, and only with insight into certain parts of his plans; I'm struggling to think of times the others listen to her without Tommy backing her up, S3 as example of when they don't), her other behaviours in the family also mean this isn't her role at all.
She's the wild older sister who is loving and explosive and hurtful, and incredibly, incredibly fragile, afraid and she feels so very scared, vulnerable and alone, most of the time. She just wants all her loved ones to be happy and safe and in achieving that, Tommy is frequently as much of an obstacle as he is the vehicle to get her that. I do headcanon that Polly lives 99% of her life in fear and on that edge of breakdown, it's just that she's lived with it so long she probably doesn't even acknowledge it any more. Her reactivity is so high.
So yeah, it's no wonder Tommy sort of plays that joint patriarch-matriarch role (arranging marriages etc), because Polly is *not* playing the matriarch.

Just lived through the best class I ever had in my life. Romani language teacher invited a famous Sinti Public figure (can't disclose who BUT I WAS SO THRILLED) to teach some sinti language and he talked about some stuff that felt so cathartic to me. When it comes to background and culture I thought my family was an anomaly because none of us speaks Sinti and we are actually very mixed with a lot of different ethnic groups that we don't even know which ones, but he verbatim said that was a pretty standard experience like !!!! He said he himself had to relearn the language and that his grandpa (a very, very big jazz musicizn, cant disclose the name) did not speak the language either. He said that in my country, 70 years ago the new Sinti Generation came to think of the Sinti language as backwards and ugly so they rejected it. And then he played music with a Romanian Romani musician who was also there. Afterwards I got some coffee with that Romanian Rom and we complained about how being settled sucks and how many Romani people (he was talking about Romania, I was talking about my country) don't speak the language, and then we shared family pictures lmaooo

Your addition to that one post about your grandma actually made me smile. I wish I had an eighth of her aura. Can't wait to be ancient and absolutely amazing. Tell her I'm a fan <33
XD I'm glad I can put a smile on someone's face during these times. We call her 'The Lady of Charm.' She is a firecracker, for sure. Not without the regular issues facing 96 yr olds, my mom goes over every day to check up on her. Basically, her body is breaking down faster than her mind, but damn, she is going to go out kicking.
Not that you need to know, but that whole side of my family is batshit crazy. We're Romanian Roma, on that side. So my great aunts all belly danced, and would do it on tables at parties, I had one who went after her husband with a butcher knife. All the women (myself included) are strong willed, stubborn and opinionated.

Not to mention the immense irony that the 'farewell' speech Tommy gives to his family opens exactly as would a politician’s speech about honouring his promises.
Emotion the enemy of oratory, etc.
