i only got into TBoM and Falsettos in 2020 but I 100% resonate with reading every mcpriceley fic on ao3 because i’ve done the same thing. i would KILL to see the book of mormon on fucking broadway like that’s probably on my life bucket list. and, oh my god, falsettos is like the only musical i’ve routinely cried over :( the proshot essentially DESTROYED me

The Falsettos 2016 revival is truly a work of art, William Finn's lyricism is one of my favorites of all time. It's neurotic, it's intricate, it's some of the smartest I've seen. Every day I still have to Google the words and phrases he uses and I've been watching it since 2017 (along with bom). The staging is gorgeous, using play blocks taken from a bigger box and using it exclusively as the set design and furniture to show how immature all of the characters really are. They're not in the real world, they're still playing with blocks. That is until the second half of the second act where the first real piece of furniture we see is (spoilers I guess) Whizzer's hospital bed. The tragedy finally brought them all back to reality and their petty family drama suddenly looks like child's play.
