what if annabeth was called anna-beth

[tophuukiey]

Was listening to the Sweeney Todd revival album when I remembered Todd also calls Mrs. Lovett "my sweet"... so I had to quickly draw a Sweeney Todd AU for gelphie

[hamletthedane]

My conspiracy theory is that one of the reasons they fired Stephanie J. Block for the role of Elphaba in 2000 and replaced her with Idina Menzel at the end of the OBC workshops is because SJB played the role SO gay that it was quickly crossing the line of plausible deniability. Like she doesn't seem to be able to help herself.

And thank god she eventually got to play the role on Broadway (arguably one of the best - if not THE best - actresses who ever did), because we finally got to see her get super fucking handsy and stare lovingly into Glinda's eyes inches away from her face for three hours:

Like holy shit why do you keep looking at Annaleigh Ashford like you want to eat her alive??

Plus I cannot emphasize enough just how effective and moving this particular version of For Good is. Straight up feels like wedding vows.

(Ironically, she also has the best chemistry with Fiyero's character, and arguably the very sweetest performance of As Long As You're Mine in the entire slime tutorial universe.* So I'm just reading this as a Thropple Truther performance.)

*But that's just because she was (and still is) literally married to him. So they get uh. A little carried away in their performance. *cut to Sebastian Arcelus holding lantern up, his face covered in green makeup from aggressively making out with his wife on stage for several minutes* Apparently the makeup team HATED that song for them.

Two dumb bitches telling each other “exactlyyyy”

[youvebeengalindafied]

"Then I'll go and tell them! I'll tell everyone the truth!"' "No! They'll just turn against you!" "I don't care!" "But I do!" "El-" "Promise me that you won't try to clear my name." "But-" "Promise. Me." .

Stephanie J. Block (E) and Annaleigh Ashford (G), October 9, 2007

Dedicated to @hamletthedane and @myheartisbro-ken ' excellent commentary on SJB and AA's insane, intense chemistry and acting choices during their run. They basically spent three hours looking like they wanted to eat each other alive.

(Those last two gifs just break me every time.)

there is SO much depth and beauty in the stories we hear in sweeney todd. a murderer who was once a doting father, so blind with hatred and anger towards the world that he couldn’t even see his own wife and daughter, staring him right in the face. a woman down on her luck and in love, trying so desperately to make a connection with a deeply broken and disturbed human. an unfortunately innocent and unknowing boy who ended up being the one who could sense the dark truth. a love at first sight that refused to die, even when torn apart by the disgusting perversion of a greedy abuser. sweeney todd is about all of these people, doing absolutely horrible things, all out of some form of love. that’s the beauty of sweeney todd. sweeney killed for a father and husband’s love. lovett baked real people with real lives into pies to maintain a shallow, lustful relationship she impossibly dreamed would bloom into true romance. turpin destroyed an innocent family because he could not contain his ‘love’ for a pretty woman and her daughter. toby slit a throat because his mother figure was all he had, and he loved her, simply and purely, as an innocent child loves a mother. their love is the purest of all in the story.

but my point is — yes, sweeney todd is about a murderer and his accomplice who cannibalizes and sells his victims. but it’s not. sweeney todd is about love. how love is even stronger and more dangerous than the deepest hate. it’s about how love can destroy people. this show is so beautifully, deeply, disgustingly human. and this dark, telling tale is somehow warped into some of the most gorgeous music to ever be written and made hilarious, lovable, and entertaining. musical theatre is truly magic. human nature is love and filth and greed. sweeney todd perfectly embodies both of these ideas.

Sketched some stage show gelphie pairings I've enjoyed (so far) and by enjoyed I mean that their thank goodness & finale performances low-key hurt my soul

“Anna, you only sided with me because you have more in common with me than the rest of them. You’re selfish. You’re stubborn. You’re proud– that’s a deadly sin, you know. And you just love to judge everyone around you because it makes you feel better than them. I get it, because I do the same. Because I know I am. I’ve been in every single person’s dreams in this hall and I know exactly the kind of people they all are. And i’m bored of it, quite frankly, so bored of all of you pretending to be nice.”
