#come from away musical

[fearful-quartet]

Okay I know I only ever come on here to talk about my random resurgent love of specific musicals but just. Come From Away is so fucking good yall.

The parts that always get me are the songs using multiple languages, specifically "Darkness and Trees (reprise)" and "Prayer" which both have that underlying theme of religion being international.

Now I am not a religious man, I have my own beliefs but they are easily swayed one way or another. However, the way the musical emphasizes and highlights that despite language barriers, a common viewpoint can bridge that gap easily. It doesn't just go for religion either, but that kindness. It took one act of kindness after another to show that words cannot beat actions, and your actions have impact.

I could rant for hours about Come From Away and how masterful it is

Hey so actually I accidentally deleted my blog so i created it again. I am still Lena! and I am still into MT and a bunch of other stuff. I a still unable to be casual about anything i like which is why i have tumblr. Some of my favorite musicals are The Outsiders, Newsies, Heathers Hamilton, Spring Awakening, Legally Blonde, Mean girls, Come from away, In the Heights, Illinoise, and a lot more. I very recently got into Musical theatre so I am unaware of most things. Please feel free to reach out!!!

my Only Good Thought of the day:

Come From Away but staged in the round/immersive. 

I think it would be a fun concept to introduce the audience into the show, it has the focus on bringing people together and community. Because while they are telling a story about the aftermath of one event, the show invites the audience to feel the grief and weight of 9/11 with the characters as they do, and then learn and grow with the community of Gander.

Oh don't mind me just ripping my soul out by listening to the Come From Away soundtrack for the ten millionth time in a row

COME FROM AWAY WAS AMAZING AND AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL AND IT MADE ME CRY AND IT PUT ME ON AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER AND OMG I LOVED ITTTTT

notable mentions to At the end of a Moment and the fact I still, three months later, have nothing between me and the sky followed by the jarring stop of 'the think I love more than anything was used as the bomb'

And Kevin and Kevin being like WE DONT KNOW HOW THE TEXAN WILL LIKE BEING AROUND GAY FOLK and then Diane' literal next line being 'this young gay couple came with us'

I don't know what I was expecting going into come from away while it was on tour but I'm now taking my mum to see it in Bristol in a week or two. It's up in my top five musicals now.

holy shit holy shit why did no one tell me about come from away that shit fucking slaps

'must be something in the water' 'THAT'S WHY I ONLY DRINK THE BEER'

'ya. that's a moose'

'KISS THE FISH KISSTHEFISHKISSTHEFISH'

'you're freaking out and it's making me freak out and we're👏ALL 👏FREAKING👏THE FUCK👏OUT👏'

'i'll give you a speeding ticket and on it i'll write STFD. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN'

'we can't accept any money. you'd have done the same' 'but... i drank all your whiskey' 'i'd have done the same'

'they helped me steal their own grills'

'holy shiiiiiiitttt holy shiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt'

'we've somehow ended up in the gayest town in newfoundland'

'i'm his sexytary I MEAN SECRETARY'

'its cheese and fish. the recipe involves cheese.............and............fish'

'it turns out our gym teacher knows a little spanish *breaks out into a salsa*'

'running away from the gay people who HATE ME'

'YOU ARE HEEEEERE ON THE EDGE OF THE ATLANTIC ON AN ISLAND IN BETWEEEEEN. THERE AND MEEEEEEE'

'because we come from everywhere WE ALL COME FROM AWAY'

i am here and me and the sky making me sob uncontrollably

'the thing i loved most used as the bomb' oh?????????

[noknowshame]

always a fun time when real life people are doomed by their own narratives. like guys you know it doesn’t have to be like this right? this isn’t a stageplay the foreshadowing isn’t real until you make it real

[fantastic-nonsense]

Wicked Act 2 is only a tragedy for Elphaba and Glinda. It's a Grade A comedy for everyone else

[madamemiz]

sad: falling out of a hyperfixation

tragic: watching your beloved friends and mutuals fall out of the hyperfixation while you're still in it

"fuck it we ball" *cries to oddly specific musical theatre songs*

Now there’s a solemn, old tradition for admission - or audition - to transition from a Come From Away…

Kiss the Fish!! 🐟

[starry-bi-sky]

i think i'm hilarious -- aka i made blood blossom danny au memes

all of these come from my DpxDC prompt "i am pushing the batdad agenda--" and it's corresponding additions in the reblogs ksdjlf.

i am. rotating them in my head. forever and always. personally i think there should be more batdad aus in dpxdc, their dynamic could be neat. :)

spoilers? i don't even know what is or isn't a spoiler anymore.

i like to imagine this is what had to be happening at ithaca during the events between little wolf/we'll be fine and get in the water

No, why would I have my comfort musical be *literally any fiction based in the US* when I can have one that is based on the true story of a small community in Canada coming together to house over 7,000 people from around the world after a bunch of terrorist attacks?
