#derek klena the man that you are

[faded-florals]

I will love you until my dying day

[izloveshorses]

You absolutely do not have to answer this, but... I just find it so interesting that you have Anya being the one to jump Dmitry given she has no prior experience.

🤷‍♀️

i mean, to put it simply, it's a show about a woman wanting things for herself and going after them. she wants home love family, she wants to feel safe, she wants to belong to someone... i think this includes wanting to jump a man who has professed his undying love for her lol.

anya is also a character who goes after what she wants as soon as she decides she wants it, you know? like when the dowager tells her dmitry refused the reward, she's like oh! okay! where is he 😤 and i like anya being the one to initiate things because that's how she kisses him in canon lol. once he tells her he loves her that's all she needs. and the kiss takes him by surprise and he is slow to catch up and kiss her back. so this is why i personally enjoy writing her this way 🙈

also if you're a grown 27yo woman, and a man who looks like derek anthony klena says he's in love with you... wouldn't you hit that?

[tending-the-hearth]

Tell me dear mutual, who is this 'Moulin Rouge' character, and why am I seeing his screaming face all over your tumblr?

Does he offer much angst in these trying times? :D

screaming face moulin rouge man my beloved 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The character is Christian, and he is VERY angsty but also VERY romantic and i love him very much. Not to get into spoilers but the entire show is centered around his “doomed by the narrative” romance with the main Moulin Rouge performer, Satine, who is just… so tragic, they deserved so much better 😭

The specific screaming man is Aaron Tveit whose soul is tied to the Moulin Rouge musical because this man was part of the OBC, left, and has returned to the show like four different times

The specific song he is seen screaming is “El Tango de Roxanne”, which has become iconic for Aaron (and other Christians) doing an INSANE opt-up at the end of the song, and after seeing him performing on Friday, i can confidently say the hype is worth it because i was changed in my soul after seeing it live.

Aaron was also in Next To Normal, Catch Me If You Can, Wicked, and most recently before Moulin Rouge, he was Sweeney Todd in the bway revival, but a LOT of people probably know him best as the most angsty of all angsty Broadway men

beloved <3

i will also say my one of my other FAVORITE Broadway men also played Christian on Broadway

i’m so normal about Derek Klena as Christian i promise

He was Dmitri in the OBC of Anastasia (one of my favorite musicals ever), and I would give my soul to see him as Christian tbh

but also fun fact is that the character of Christian was originated in the 2001 movie by none other than the man the myth Mr. “Hello There” himself Ewan McGregor

his “Roxanne” lives in my head rent free tbh

it’s honestly because of their performances and Karen Olivo, Ciara Renee and Jojo that I’ve become obsessed with the show, it is the ONLY jukebox i will listen to and enjoy

ALASTOR If you could see the Way that you look to me I bet that you'd be amazed at the sight You'd see a heart that's Fearless and true From my point of view Oh, you shine.

ROSIE (spoken) What about you? Why is everything so easy for you?

ALASTOR (spoken) Man, if you only knew. Half the time I'm just faking it, hoping that no one will discover I'm a complete fraud.

ROSIE I think you hide so much you feel inside But I know deep down there's A fire burning bright From where you stand It might not be clear But you shine from here.

BOTH No doubts, no more fears I see you shine and the dark disappears.

ALASTOR Then I know everything is gonna be fine Because you shine, oh how you shine You shine.

ROSIE (spoken) What a surprise, gazing into your eyes I swear that I still Get lost in the light No photograph could possibly show The you I know.

BOTH No doubts, no more fears I see you shine and the dark disappears I'll be your mirror and you can be mine Look to me and you'll see Just how you shine.

ALASTOR (spoken) Oh, damn! I have to go pick up my tux before they close.

ROSIE (spoken) Alastor? Thank you.

ALASTOR (spoken) I love you.

ROSIE (spoken) ... I love you. He'd never said that before That's what I remember Most about that day.

ROSIE No doubts, no more fears I see you shine and the dark disappears Then I know everything is gonna be fine Because you're mine You shine.

[justabigassnerd]

okay, I was writing my current wip and I was listening to a lot of show tunes (bc I am a musical theatre STAN) and I started to find some that remind me of Rooster and Hangman so yeah enjoy :)

ROOSTER:

Soul of a Man - Kinky Boots (you cannot convince me this isn’t Rooster after finding out about his papers being pulled)

Seven Wonders - Catch Me if You Can

One Song Glory - Rent (I can't really explain this one, it's like him trying to prove himself in the Navy if that makes sense?)

HANGMAN:

Ladies Choice - Hairspray

Come Back - Dogfight (ngl this whole musical is Hangman vibes)

Santa Fe - Newsies (idk I love the headcanon where Jake leaves home bc he had a shitty home life bc I love angst)

Perfect - Jagged Little Pill

I may add more as time goes on but yeah this is just me being a nerd tbh aha. also I realised that Rooster gives off Aaron Tveit vibes and Hangman gives off Derek Klena vibes (ironically they are my two fave Broadway actors)

Gossip Girl Playlists: Theatre Kid AU edition! —Nate’s

[Blair's] [Dan's] [Serena's]

I don’t even remember exactly how this started, but it’s @strideofpride’s fault. 

The concept began as: if they were in this world, what would be in the GG mains’ MT books? What would be their go-to song? Their 16 bar cut? And then, I got on spotify, and got wayyyy too carried away (typical me), and it sort of morphed into: what are the NJBC’s (plus Daniel’s) senior musical theatre recital programs? And now I have this: a quartet of playlists of repertoire handpicked by me for these fake people, and I am very proud of them. 

All selections based on my very particular taste, honed from a childhood in community theater, an adolescence in high school musicals, and a 4 year degree from a majority musical theatre school

And, as in the tradition of Glee and all plays within a play, the rep reflects something profoundly personal about the character, because you know I love a theme. 

the meta:

Okay so Nate’s was realllllyyyyy hard to pin down, which makes sense because he as a character is hard to pin down, bc the show really only treated him like a whole-ass person for like 2 seasons. But, the beauty of men in musical theatre is they have much more license to just….do whatever the fuck they want—as opposed to women who get put into teeny tiny uncastable little boxes (but that’s a rant for another day). 

The point is, Nate’s type: because of his looks and talent, people try to put him in the romantic leading man box, but he finds that sooooooo boooooooring. He does play some himbos (bc, why not play to your strengths?) but he gravitates to roles that are more of a stretch. The fun roles, the character roles. The ones that less enlightened folk would say he’s “too pretty to play.” He likes to go for the laugh! He doesn’t want to be Billy Bigelow, he wants to be the Emcee! (I also see him having a great run being one of Les Amis in Les Mis in his 20s; and as the hot boy in Mamma Mia.)

His range is—and I hate that I’m saying this but it really is applicable to men in MT–bari-tenor. He can get up there when he wants to, but doesn’t necessarily want to live in the land of the high belt. He has a great low range that makes him prime golden age hunk material, but again, not really his thing. Also, theatrekid!Nate is a DANCER. He’s good on his feet and he knows it!

References: Hugh Jackman, Jonathan Groff, Derek Klena, Killian Donnely, Matthew Morrison (but like, with a better personality); and a kid in my voice studio who I’ll call Bobby, who had the rich low range of a deep voiced angel but could dance his lil heart out. 

the tracklist:

The Streets of Dublin — A Man of No Importance

A story about an Oscar Wilde stan who’s trying his darnedest to put on Salome with his community theater group. He tries to convince his hunky buddy Robbie to join in, but it’s not really Robbie’s thing. 

I’m Not That Smart — The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

A zany raunchy comedy where grown ass adults play 12 year olds battling to the bitter end for a spot in the national spelling bee. 

Leaf, a homeschool kid, is endearing, if easily distracted.

Joey, Joey, Joey — The Most Happy Fella

I’ll be honest, I just like this one because when sung right, it’s soooooo hot. 

A traveling farmhand (can you guess his name?) explains why he never stays too long in one place. There’s lots of plot happening around him, but his only job as a character is to be sexy and cause problems. 

Try to Remember — The Fantasticks

It’s the world’s longest running musical ever, so it must be doing something right! It’s an inverse Romeo and Juliet. Two fathers pretend to feud for years, to reverse psychology their children into falling in love. There’s also this spanish bandit? Idk. the fathers go a bit overboard with the plot and some strife happens, but there’s a happy ending!

This is the show opener, sung by the narrator/Spaniard-ex-machina El Gallo

Brush up Your Shakespeare (duet w/ Dan) — Kiss Me, Kate

A musical version of Taming with the Shrew is trying to get off the ground. There’s mobsters and divorced exes with sexual tension and lots of nonsense. And this bop. 

Agony (duet w/ Dan) — Into the Woods 

The only good thing that movie version gave me was Chris Pine tearing his shirt open. Ok, whore. 

Two princes, one in love with Cinderella and one in love with Rapunzel, commiserate on their love lives. I’d call them himbos, but they don’t respect women enough. They’re kinda just sluts. 

I’d Rather Be Sailing — A New Brain

See title for why I picked it. 

The show was written from the composer’s experience when he was diagnosed and treated for an AVM. this song is actually sung by the main character’s boyfriend, so it nautical AND gay!

The Song that Goes Like This (duet w/ Serena) — Spamalot

I can so see Serena and Nate just enjoying being little freaks on stage together, they feed off each other and are big hams. 

Sir Gahalad and the Lady of the Lake tick off the box of the broadway love ballad. And they break some glass. 

I Am Aldopho — The Drowsy Chaperone

Severely underrated musical. This and Curtains are both wild, gershwin-y sounding romps where I don’t really remember the plot, but I remember not being able to breathe for laughing. This show is about a grand 20s wedding, but there’s hijinks afoot, and the bride’s chaperone is drowsy because she’s drunk, and for some reason the Spaniard-ex-machina, Aldolfo, tries to seduce her with this song. I can’t not picture this scene without a cape. 

I Don’t Care Much — Cabaret

I just think. Nate would be such a good MC. I want that for him. I really do. 

MC sings this song as narration, when singer Sally fights with her lover Cliff. Lots of shit is going on, but it’s really about the desperation and precipice and uncertainty that the MC and the Kit Kat Clubbers are living in in jazz age berlin.  

You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught — South Pacific

MT guys get cast in this role if they look good shirtless, so. And it’s a better song than Younger than Springtime, like, yeesh. (this is the soldier set. I think Nate could also play that Miss Saigon guy, I don’t know the whole show well but I tried to listen to the guys big solo and I could not. anyway.)

Even though he’s in love, Lt. Cable’s deeply entrenched racism causes him to be a total jerk to his wartime love, Liat. Nellie’s same deeply entrenched racism ends her relationship with hot french dilf, Emile, when Emile seeks out advice, this song is Cable’s answer. 

Come Back — Dogfight

Everybody was losing their minds over DEH but the real Pasek and Paul opus is this musical. It only ran off broadway but the feelings! And the songs! 

In SF, a young GI meets and falls for a girl the day before he ships out to Vietnam, also the day before JFK’s assassination. This is the eleven o’clock number. He’s returning home, haunted, and broken, a marked contrast to the kid who left. 

Make ‘Em Laugh — Singin’ in the Rain

A classic! Nate the actor would always be going for the bits 

I Can’t Be Bothered Now — Crazy for You

a role for a DANCER. Bobby is a blue-blood banker’s son who just wants to dance. His mission takes him to a small cow town out west where he puts on a show. Gershwinian nonsense like that. It is very cute, though. 

Moon-faced, Starry-eyed (duet w/ Serena) — Street Scene

Street Scene is technically an opera, but it’s a big extravagant blending of musical styles, from romantic 1900s opera to 1940s jazz. Guess which end of the spectrum this one’s on. It’s the comedic dance break before shit hits the fan in this New York apartment building. I can so see besties Serena and Nate being complete hams in this number.

Mae, a tenant of the building, comes back from a night out with her boyfriend, Dick. They are drunk and they are dancing!

Soul of a Man — Kinky Boots

Nate wearing those shoes. Send post. 

Charlie makes the bold—but sound! —business decision to redirect the family shoe factory to produce shoes designed and marketed towards drag queens. When Charlie snaps from the pressure of running the business, he ponders his family legacy and “what does it mean to be a Man”? Nathaniel-coded!

Not the Boy Next Door — Boy from Oz

I just think….theatre kid!Nate is soooo gay. And being in the “gay by may” MT major world, he grows into himself in a marvelous way. 

Aussie musical legend Peter Allen returns to Australia after his separation from Liza Minelli, and realizes he’s grown out of the place. Also he’s so very Not-Straight.

[justapurrcat]

anastasia au with Tom as dimitri? 👀

Tom + one of my absolute favourite films/musicals ever (the title of my blog kinda gives it away, huh?) + my no.1 dream role??? I’ll have you know that you just opened a Pandora Box... no seriously, I could go on and on for literal hours about this.

Dimitri was probably my first crush EVER. And have you seen Derek Klena in the Broadway musical??? 👀👀👀

And the fact that Tom has a musical background... sir, would you just audition for the role already???

A dashing, sassy con-man with perfect hair who acts all tough but secretly has a heart of gold??? Oh yes, sign me up.

Picture him eyeing you up and being very impressed by the resemblance...

... yeah, just like that 😏😏😏

Anya!reader having a cat and Tom whining "I’m allergic to cats!!!" (because I am a cat-lady and I don’t have the heart to make him say that he’s allergic to dogs 🥺) like the big man-child he is when she refuses to leave them behind;

Tom in a snow field with snowflakes in his hair and red cheeks and a red nose bc of the cold (he would be so adorable!!!)

The banter??? 10/10. "I don’t like being contradicted!" "That makes two of us!" / "This one, Vlad? I get it, there’s a vague resemblance, but... oh. Oh." "Why are you circling me? Were you a volture in another life?!" / "I’ve seen longshoremen more graceful than you." "Says the one who just walked into a mirror."

The princess training??? "Keep your posture!" "Where did you learn that?" "... I didn’t teach her... She’s a natural!" "Is that how you drink tea?" "Now elbows in and sit up straight!""Your hand receives a kiss..." 🥰;

Dance practice with Tom...

Bonus: "Where did you learn to dance like that?" "Wouldn’t you like to know, darling..." yes, I had to put the "darling" in this somehow;

🎶("I never should’ve let them... daaaaaance...")🎶;

Paris. With. Tom. *enter THE video he posted, you know the one I’m talking about 😏*

But then it ends on a kinda sad note because... "Paris holds the key to her past / Yes, Princess, I've found you / At last. / No more pretend / You'll be gone, / That's the end..." *pterodactyl screech*

Him breaking into Anya!reader’s room in the middle of the night because he heard her screams and he’s READY TO FIGHT TO PROTECT HER and then he stays with her to calm her down after her nightmare;

... and then they talk, and he understands she is Anastasia and that makes him realize he’s been in love with her since he first saw her when they were kids and right as he’s about to kiss her he steps back and kneels before her (literally copied this from the musical version and I don’t regret it bc it’s probably my favourite scene)

Also, him saying "Your Imperial Highness" with that wonderful voice/accent of his???

And Anya!reader playing it cool, but secretly dying inside, like "... but I wanted to make-out..."

The staircase scene SHUT UP!!! Reader all dolled up and him staring at her like... "Uhm... yes... hello... pls, would you kindly husband me up? Right now, if possible?";

Watching ballet together and him holding Anya!reader’s hand because she’s terrified of meeting the Dowager Empress 🥺;

The fight, the separation, but then he comes back to her, and then they run away together AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH 🥺😍

OMG I WANT TO WRITE THIS PLS HELP ME

Whoever sent this, I love you 💜

[izloveshorses]

“Anastasia has found herself another kind of prince. One of character, not birth.”

remember when Anya goes “he’s not my young man” and dima was all like “she’s not my girlfriend” and “I'm not your prince, anya” lol they’re so dumb

This is to @christinealtomare for always being so kind and letting me come cry to her about this show <3 hope you like!
