Tell Her I Love Her - Ensemble CLIP

I love this song so much and being Little Sally has been such a gift! I can’t believe we open tomorrow :0

The ensemble section is so pretty in this song… I wish I was part of it (I say as if the entire song isn’t practically a Little Sally solo)

ANYWAY- That’s how you know i’m hyper-fixated on something. When I make a self-cover of it.

not kids media but this reminds me of lockstock and little sally

adults being totally useless in kids media is also a reflection of how adults interact with kids irl, adults are often deeply uncaring toward the needs and problems that children face so this is just a reflection of reality for children.

do you think in Urinetown they’d have super bougie toilets that would cost like 2k to use that look like this

If you love the plot of the musical “Newsies” but wish it was less serious, didn’t have a happy ending, was set in a fictional dystopia instead of New York in 1899, had more murder in it, and was about a drought, then boy do I have the musical for you.

And on the flip side, if you love the plot of the musical “Urinetown” but wish it was less comedic, didn’t have a sad ending, was set in New York in 1899 instead of a fictional dystopia, had less murder in it, and was about newspapers, then boy do I also have the musical for you.

Okay so of things I did not expect: Micky Dolenz, one of the Monkees, that 60s band with a goofy TV show who sang "I'm a Believer," sang a song from Urinetown, the musical that yes, is about urine. Specifically about a dystopia where you can only pee in bathrooms that you need to pay to use, and no one has the money to do that. It's. Uh. A musical alright. The music slaps, but the writing is not good.

But anyway. Micky Dolenz absolutely KILLS at "Don't be the Bunny" from Urinetown. Like I was surprised enough that he even knew Urinetown existed, and then he's great at it?

I highly recommend. Thank you @70snasagay for being the reason I know about this.

The worst part about liking musical theatre is that sometimes you will go see an absolutely life changing show where the music makes you cry and rethink your life

And then you get home and look up the original track and it’s just not it

[blimp-of-evil]

so im in a production of Urinetown rn, right?

and saying good luck to other is obvi bad luck, so the classic substitution is "break a leg"

BUT MAY I PROPOSE

"Go piss girl!!!"

Me when my musical has a -town suffix, town represents where you go when you die, narrator/character who is aware its a story but actively participates, story repeating being mentioned in show, 75% through gets a good ending, instantly goes downhill, is not a happy musical. its a sad song, two main characters are a love story representing capitalist vs. anti-capitalist ideals, two love stories in different generations, main villain utilizes people in poverty’s needs for his own gain, deep voiced male main villain with an out-of-love tough woman lover who has a big solo song. who also ends up siding with the protagonist in the end, somewhat clueless but hopeful young man mc, begins with music interlude, introduction to show, then song about how poverty affects your life, is mainly brass accompanied by piano, ends with epilogue explaining how things will always go the same way, has the ensemble as greek chorus, underhandedly addresses the consequences of economic inequality, the entire beginning of the show’s problems is climate-related, main couple fall in love very suddenly, it is their first time & are eventually separated as one of them dies, the second act is when the sheeple wake up and decide to fight for their lives.

urinetown fandom be like:

[ollievoil]

saw urinetown yesterday and I know this sounds weird but this shit changed my life

[hope-cladwell]

obsessed with the fact that a multitude of characters in urinetown literally only have names if you're A) super into the show and already know them or B) literally in the show. because never once do they say tiny tom or soupy sue or hot blades harry or ms millennium's name. you just gotta know

My Buddy in theater posed the question “is ICUP a slur in Urinetown” and I think he was onto something
