#a few broadway songs

[elizabeth-dicewielder]

Making a wedding playlist for your lesbian wedding is very difficult because you really just want sapphic songs but those are in extremely short supply and a lot of them are very sexual and among the ones that aren’t you only like half of them, but if you have to hear a man singing about love or a woman singing about loving a man you’re going to go insane so you’re just stuck staring at each other until one of you finally says “1812 Overture?” “Yeah we’re adding 1812 Overture”

Batfam Goes to See Hamilton (Thanks to Jason Todd)

note: based on the fact that i saw hamilton on broadway today!

So, Jason somehow managed to drag the entire Batfam to see Hamilton—because yes, Red Hood is a theater nerd, and apparently, none of them can say no when he’s excited about something. Here’s how it went down:

Jason Todd: Living for it. Jason knows all the lyrics by heart and is practically singing under his breath the whole time. He’s vibing hard to every song, mouthing along to My Shot like he’s in the show. You’d think he was a one-man standing ovation from the way he keeps reacting to every scene. He also goes full nerd mode explaining all the historical inaccuracies and why they don’t matter because the storytelling is incredible.

Bruce Wayne: Very confused, but engaged. He’s trying to get into it, but you can see the gears turning in his head, over-analyzing every political angle and historical context. He does appreciate the themes of legacy, sacrifice, and honor (classic Bruce). He might’ve even shed a few tears during It’s Quiet Uptown, but he’ll deny it forever.

Dick Grayson: Having the time of his life. Dick is the one clapping the loudest, laughing at all the jokes, and crying during the emotional songs. He’s completely caught up in the performance, and by the time The Room Where It Happens comes on, he’s all but bouncing in his seat. He also loves the choreography and probably made a mental note to learn the dances later.

Tim Drake: Secretly loving it but pretending to be indifferent. Tim walked in like he was only going to humor Jason, but by the end of Act 1, he’s fully invested. He tries to keep a straight face, but you can catch him mouthing the words to Wait for It and tapping his fingers during The Room Where It Happens. He’s obsessed with the way the show mixes history, strategy, and storytelling, and he’s definitely taking mental notes on things to google later for a deep dive into historical rabbit holes. After the show, he’s already re-watching bootleg clips on YouTube, but if anyone asks, he’ll just say, “It was fine.”

Damian Wayne: Not impressed. Damian doesn’t see the appeal. He’s sitting there with his arms crossed, giving side-eye to everyone clapping or singing along. “I could’ve done better,” he mutters after Guns and Ships, but you catch him tapping his foot during Yorktown, and he seems unusually focused during the duel scenes. Maybe it’s growing on him… but he’ll never admit it.

Stephanie Brown: Living her best life. Steph is totally into it. She’s laughing at all the jokes, especially King George’s bits, and probably even got Bruce to crack a smile. She’s belting out Helpless and Satisfied in her seat and whispering excitedly to Cass about how they should come back for the next performance. She’s already planning a Hamilton-themed karaoke night after.

Cassandra Cain: Loving the energy. Cass isn’t much for words, but she’s totally feeling the performance. The choreography and intensity of the actors keep her fully engaged. She’s watching every movement with laser focus, and you can see her appreciating the way the actors tell the story through body language. She’s not super vocal about it, but afterward, she signs to Jason that it was “powerful.”

Duke Thomas: Totally into the music. Duke is all about the beats and rhythm. He’s vibing in his seat, really feeling the music and lyrics. You catch him nodding along during Wait for It and The Room Where It Happens, and he’s probably already added the soundtrack to his Spotify. He’s impressed by the storytelling through music and keeps shooting Jason looks like, “Okay, you were right—this is awesome.”

At the end of the show, Jason’s the first to stand up, clapping like his life depends on it, and despite the varied reactions, everyone else follows suit.

10 points to the person who can identify every single musical I reference in the chapter titles in the new fic I'm writing

Not really for the ask game but how many songs do you have in your top 100 that are not from musicals and not written by lin?

only 34

Me: I do not care about Descendants enough to watch that new movie. I barely cared when I saw the original ones. Me: *Watches one behind-the-scenes dance rehearsal of Brandy and Paolo* Me: *Silently SOBBING* Me: Ok fine. Fine. I know they have barely any screentime but AH ok. Fine.

The Last Five Years has been popping up on my FYP on TikTok. Some people are saying Jamie makes some good points (specifically in “If I Didn’t Believe in You”)

Now. I could write an essay on this show, but for now, I’ll say this:

JAMIE IS MAKING “GOOD POINTS” BECAUSE HE IS MANIPULATING CATHY! THAT’S THE SONG!

SHE IS SAYING SHE ISN’T HAPPY GOING TO THESE PARTIES BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T LIKE BEING LEFT ALONE IN A SITUATION THAT MAKES HER UNCOMFORTABLE AND JAMIE TURNS THAT INTO HER NOT SUPPORTING HIM AND HIS WORK WHEN THAT IS NOT THE CASE!

That is all. Thank you.

(I understand this is my opinion and that others can see the song differently)

Modern musicals love to take the most un-musical theatre books and make it into a smash Broadway hit. Oh, you want to make a musical about a reimagining of Oz that explores human/animal rights, terrorism and evil as nurture/nature? A graphic novel memoir about a lesbian’s relationship with her closeted dad who possibly kills himself and her coming of age while exhibiting OCD behaviours? A non-fiction BIOGRAPHY on one of the FOUNDING FATHERS?! All right, ALL THE TONYS!

you tagged a post as bmc (u were right) and me listening to it this morning…somethings in the water

🫣 i was watching some unrelated tiktok or something and got absolutely brainblasted by a bmc song the other day.. the emotional response that show drags out of me.....

[darkjusticiar]

I wish the mixing on the west end american psycho recording wasn't so abysmal. The bass and instrumentation really did the heavy lifting when I saw it on broadway. But the opening number morning routine still rocks

So sorry to report to my fellow live-action remake haters but... My older sister wanted to go see TLM with me so i did and........

IT'S REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD
