how was the great gatsby musical?
overall, one of my favorite theatre experiences. to the level that i have been looping the cast recording nonstop since it came out last week
i do have a lot of specific points that i could talk So Long about with this show, most of which i'll put under a read more, but first: casting
anyway. spoilers for the great gatsby musical (things that were changed from the book for the production)
the 'main four' being Jeremy Jordan, Noah J Ricketts, Eva Noblezada, and Samantha Pauly, were all absolutely incredible. show stopping in their own ways. i was genuinely so scared that when i saw it that any of these 4 wouldn't be on, but i got so lucky and all of them were!! i am 100% convinced that many of the songs were written just to showcase certain actors voices (jeremy jordan).
let me tell you. getting to see jeremy jordan and eva noblezada live was unlike anything i've ever seen before. i was like. genuinely honored to be there. their stage presence, their voices, their acting ability, oh man... and Samantha Pauly was just incredible, and her big number was so. show stopping. Noah J. Ricketts was amazing the whole time, but his emotion in finale as he was saying the lines that are basically quoted exactly from the book... yeah i cried.
but so many other actors were also so amazing! John Zdrojeski as Tom was so good at the role, because Tom really was genuinely awful, but not in like an evil villain way, because he's much more realistic than that. i also find that a lot of times Tom is kinda seen as stupid or whatever for not noticing a lot of things going around him but in the musical he really like. could tell what was going on. and he worked his way into finding out secrets (kinda more on this later bc of my favorite song)
another main this was just. the design. Linda Cho costumes MY BELOVED im so glad she won the tony because this show DESERVED IT. it was definitely a glorified image of what those 1920s outfits would actually be, but most musical theatre isn't meant to be an exact replica of history, it's meant to dramatize it, and Linda Cho understands the assignment when it comes to costumes. the lighting and scenic design were also just incredible, especially their use of the green light shining from across the bay...
the show started out with Gatsby onstage, reaching for the green light. a set piece is moved across the stage, passing in front of him, Nick standing where Gatsby was. within that moment i was like "if they don't end the show with Nick standing there, the set piece passing in front, and leaving Gatsby behind, reaching for the green light, then what is the POINT" and then they DID and it was just as great as i'd imagined.
there were definitely changes to the story to adapt it to the stage, which i actually enjoyed (i've read the book, but didn't love it mostly due to a bad experience with reading it in school so. yeah). it is kinda more romance-centric in the first act, which i have heard people complain about, but i kinda see reasoning for it. yes, the first act is very much centered around the various relationships (especially the romantic ones), and in the second act, while certain characters (mostly gatsby) try to keep it centered on the romance, there is a much bigger, darker story going on all around them. so i really liked that meta perspective of it.
they also gave a lot more character to mr wilson (idr his first name), effectively intertwining him with both Gatsby and Wolfsheim as he, from the very beginning, plans to move him and Myrtle away from the city (its been a hot sec since i read the book, so idr if that's there but i don't think it is).
the relationship between Nick and Jordan is also taken a lot further in the musical, to the point where they are engaged, but after Myrtle's death, it gets broken off. this is because, in this version, Jordan ends up lumped in with both Tom and Daisy, in with the old money. throughout most of the show she is much more aware of society and doesn't want any part of what her role 'should' be, but when things go south, she is just as quick as the others to abandon what's 'right' in favor of what's better for her. and ik some people might not like that change but i actually did.
Myrtles character is also taken a lot further in this, which i find really fascinating. she is given her own big number right before her death as she tried to go after Tom, saying that he'll leave Daisy and marry her instead, but then she realizes she'll become just like Daisy in that situation, and the only choice is 'love or money.' she eventually decides that she wants to go back to her husband, and the moment she turns back, she is killed. this was Such a big number and, looking back, might be one of my favorites story-wise.
while i absolutely adored most everything, genuinely, the music was by far my favorite part (besides maybe jeremy jordan and eva noblezada...) a personal thing for me was that Every. Single. Song. has SUCH a good bassline. man i need the sheet music for this show. (side note: i got to talk to the show's bass player for a few minutes after the show! i was super nervous about it but im glad i did. he was super nice)
there's def a mix of more modern showtune styles, along with bringing in a lot of jazzy elements, which was GREAT. i love jazz. like i mentioned before, certain songs were definitely written for actor's voices (Past is Catching Up to Me) which is absolutely not a bad thing because they were AMAZING
two of my favorite songs were 'Only Tea' and 'Made to Last.'
only tea is when Gatsby is stressing about Daisy coming over for tea. this was hilarious. I kid you not jeremy jordan jumped a fence at the end. it was iconic. (you can Feel the nerves in just the cast recording alone).
made to last takes place in the scene in the Plaza. it's mostly Tom, revealing the secrets he learned about how Gatsby got his fortune, then Gatsby trying to get Daisy to tell Tom she doesn't love him. there are So Many Good lines in this song (everyone kinda drags Tom a lot its great) but this is where the characterization of Tom was really just. top notch. because he really is freaking Awful. but he's also smart and not going to let go of what he owns (not good that he considers Daisy a possession though...), and he knows exactly what is going to happen to Gatsby--he's not Made to Last.
(also the song Shady is iconic. spinny tailcoats)
another just. singular line that i need to draw attention to, sung by mr wilson (he has multiple songs directed to the Eyes of God), and this line is right when he decides to go after Gatsby. "God sees everything but he's slow on his commands/You've got the eyes of God, Doc/Who's gonna be his hands?"
(this line is reprised in the middle of Gatsby's song right before the gun goes off. fun fact)
i'm sure there are So Many Other Things i could talk about (i s2g i could write 13 essays about this show) but in general like. while it wasn't groundbreaking to the theatre, it was still Such a good show and absolutely deserves better yknow. attention then it's getting. like jeremy jordan is here for a Reason this is a Good show. and mostly this is my begging people to listen to the cast recoding because its SO GOOD.
anyway. if anyone has questions about specific things i am So Happy to talk but here's a lot of my more general thoughts... (god i haven't even Talked about Eric Anderson as Wolfsheim...)
#constance answers#asks#the great gatsby#the great gatsby musical#i brought my flapper dress to new york just to wear to this show and it was Worth it#i did not stage door because i knew it was gonna be crazy but its ok because i talked to the bass player instead.#also i enjoyed sitting next to my mom during this show. because she didn't know the story pretty much at All.#so during intermission she said to me 'i don't know what but i feel like something bad is going to happen. this is too happy'#and i tried to get her to guess What would happen but she didn't.#and then watching the end... everything from myrtle dying all the way to the murder/suicide...#lets just say it took her until After that to realize that the edge of the stage was decorated to look like a pool#it is idk how late at night rn so sorry if this is not at all coherent#one more thing: the shirt i bought from this show is the best musical shirt i have Ever owned. its so pretty

Hugs <3 Send this to the first ten people on your dash, okay? We’re giving hugs!
Thank you for the hugs! Once again, sorry for the late reply. Please everyone who reads this, consider yourself hugged, and enjoy this TMBS WIP snippet as I have actually, surprisingly, been able to write today (I'm as shocked as any of you).
“And uh…who are you?” asked Kate.
“Jim Pressius,” declared Mr. Pressius boldly. “But you children can call me “Mr. Pressius.”
“Okay, Jim,” said Constance, rolling her eyes.
Edit: And thank you, Sophie, for reminding me of his first name!

Hi! More Plant Company please :D
Of course! Here are your sentences.
WIP Wednesday Game - Plant Company (original story)
Mark himself got a job at one of the local plant nurseries, putting his degree to good use, though he was very careful to make sure nothing came home with him for Sorenson's sake. It was Allan's job that surprise everyone the most.
"Like a daycare daycare, with kids and all?"

With my fanfic having the "Weirdsister College" character, Nick Hobbes, being Snape and Hardbroom's secret son, he would've been born during the "Hogwarts Mysterty" years. Specifically on November 5th, 1986.
With this, a part of me wants to feature a chapter where Snape wants to watch a 3-4 month old Nick while Constance had to go to some teacher's convention. Yet, with Hogwarts still having classes, Snape had to work up a plan with Dumbledore and McGonagall (they knew what was really going on).
While they had staff and students think McGonagall was babysitting little Nick for a friend, Snape would care for his son during his free time.
Yet, with the staff and students thinking McGonagall had gone mad and pawned an innocent infant off to the sadist known as Snape, they were understandably worried.
Enter Tonks, Penny Haywood, Bill, Charlie and Ben to spy on poor Snape. Merula may also be there too. Still, they were surprised (and still a bit suspicious) with how good Severus was with the mysterious child.
Next thing you know it, Snape was either called on due to some accident or a staff meeting; giving him no choice but to let the six watch baby Nick.
Long story short, either Tonks and/or a visiting Myron Wagtail would be performing a certain song from a certain Muggle movie that came about at the time of this story...:

Back to my Party Down rewatch. lets' skip ahead past the part where I inevitably mention some things have not aged well.
It is always an instant downer (ha) when I hit that point in season 1 where Jane Lynch gets Glee and disappears. I mean bless Jennifer Coolidge, but she was clearly working with a script written for Constance. And she did her best, but on that first non-Constance episode I just go 'NO' with my whole body. I think what I miss most is that cool, dorky friendship dynamic between Constance and Kyle.
Anyway. I am enjoying it a lot, despite the awkward/uncomfortable 'edgy' comedy shit of the era that pops in.
#party down#I have now reached the Megan Mullally portion and I don't know if I like her more as the Constance replacement or just resigned by then#and anyway Adam Scott got poached for parks and rec anyway so it's moot#and I may not think Glee is worth killing this show but I would die on a hill for Ben Wyatt

I loved this time so much. This was like the second golden age of RS RS for me. Asellus and White Rose shipping in our faces. Actual NPCs besides the same bosses and dev faves getting Styles? All of the art was great and the event itself was pretty cute.
Hoping for more of this in 2024. I need some of 2022's energy back in RS RS!
#i also just like raphael and constance a lot#i was looking forward to the remaster intently partially just for them#and it was so worth it!#and i'm so happy we got them in rs rs!#actually#i should have taken more screens but the jamil trio banner/event was excellent too#rs1/ms fans were eating wonderfully at those times#i'm glad the lords are finally hitting gl tho!#i'm going to give it my all for them~~~
