One thing I’ve learned through my years of consuming live theatre and bootlegs of live theatre is that you can almost always tell when someone used to be a Newsie.

They always have this like indescribable quality about how they move even compared to other incredibly well trained dancers. I think it’s just because Newsies is such an insane, other level caliber of dance that it just brings them to another quality of movement.

I don’t know how to describe it. I just know that whenever I watch something the Newsie always stands out.

if anyone happens to have a deaf west american idiot bo*t or even just clips they’re willing to share i will be indebted to you for life

i can trade for other bo*ts (i have dwsa, jlp, bom, deh, falsettos, and bmc i believe) if that’s a thing that is required but please please please please

sincerely, a deaf person with an extremely intense emotional attachment to this musical and this production especially

I'm already using my stupidly large hard drive to store doctor who episodes :], but there is a TON of space on it.

also where do you find musical bootlegs. i feel like this is an osmosis thing that i havent been privy to

I'm actually fairly out of the loop on that front these days. it used to be that everyone in the scene had big organized websites with lists of everything they had, and you'd email them with a link to your own list and ask to do a trade, or if you were a newbie you'd find the people who seemed the least scary and ask "hiii I'm new to all this and am trying to build a collection... could I pretty please have this dear evan hansen video from june 2018? also the codeword is vermilion" and most of the time they'd respond "yeah sure, here!" but there was still a good 10% chance that they'd try to kill you with their mind beams instead and submit a vague about you to the trading confessions blog. I think it's all mostly on invite-only discord servers now?

Anyone else think about how much more aggressive the Optic-Nerve Blocking is on Off-Broadway (comparisons below)

They’re pretty low-quality but you see what I mean right

I've been thinking about race styles recently, and particularly about the three main locomotives and Pearl:

I feel Electra is confident enough in her skills that she likes to play games with her opponents--often alternating between falling behind intentionally to make her opponents think they're winning, only to use her lightweight speed to overtake them in a sprint. It's a great way to psych out her opponents and stay out of the way while also continuously gaining the lead. She and her primary race partner (Volta) are well trained in this technique together--that being said, she is capable of skating at a steady pace when the situation calls for it. She's all about flashiness and style, but don't underestimate her skill.

Rusty is focused on stamina and agility--above all else, he's small and quick, and good at evading hits. His technique focuses mostly on keeping a steady pace while dodging conflict and allowing his competition to tire each other out, saving the last of his energy for a final sprint. In some cases, he'll even plan out exactly how much water and coal he should be carrying to stay as light as he can. He prioritizes taking curves in the track as close to the inner edge as possible, occasionally falling behind only to dart around his opponents and overtake them by taking as tight a turn as possible. Tight turns are dangerous, but he's practiced them enough that he has an advantage whenever he attempts them.

Greaseball is all about brute force and getting + maintaining an early lead; he expends most of his energy on an initial sprint to gain a lead, and then focuses on taking out or blocking his opponents. The drawback, however, is that by the end of a race he's typically losing quite a bit of steam (well. not really. ykwim) and is relying on the early lead that he gained at the beginning. He's very experienced in techniques that involve staying in front of others, such as different maneuvers to cut trains off and throw them off balance.

Pearl is, overall, a formidable racer despite having nearly no prior experience. She excels on her own in solo-carriage races, but is also an extremely valuable asset in partner races due to her adaptability. Even if she's never raced with a locomotive before, she can pick up their race style with ease. She reads the tiniest changes in their stance and technique almost instantly, and adapts to them so quickly that other trains joke that she can read minds. In reality, she's just extremely observant and quick-thinking, making her a sought-out coach for partner races. Although she enjoys the thrill of solo racing, she loves the coordination and technique involved in partner racing. Although she's late to the game, her career in racing is only beginning.

does anyone have an almost famous slime tutorial that Isn’t the one with daniel sovich?? i’m sure he’s awesome but i wanna see casey as william

[tamaharu]

okay thats interesting! in the SF try-outs during the song "legally blonde" she sings about how she cant be legally blonde, while in the official version AND THE DEMO she sings about letting her be legally blonde. which means that at some point they changed the lyrics around, and then changed them back! laurence o'keefe.... nell benjamin.... what occurs in your twisted minds

[westofwordss]
