for the ask game hadestown cuz it's the first musical I thought of

ok well i haven't actually listened to hadestown but this is my blog and i do what i want & ik you like falsettos also so im gonna do falsettos instead . ok falsettos has a Lot of songs so im gonna try not to put too much thought into any of these & im combining songs that are combined in the cast recording

four jews in a room bitching: i'm neurotic / he's neurotic / they're neurotic / we're neurotic

a tight-knit family/love is blind: love is very often debris / when you find / what you find / then never never never never never do it over again (see: what more can i say)

the thrill of first love: we ask for passion at all times / we stand to passion and drink this toast / still it's awful trying / and we're not denying / that of all the lesser passions / we like fighting most

marvin at the psychiatrist: does she sleep in the nude / no

my father's a homo/everyone tells jason to see a psychiatrist: i think you like playing chess alone / that's not normal / what is normal / i wouldn't know

this had better come to a stop: chop chop chop chop chop i chopped it / i served his food the asshole forced me / and still the bastard divorced me

i'm breaking down: i wanna hate him but i really can't / it's like a nightmare how this all proceeds / i hope that whizzer don't fulfill his needs

please come to our house/jason's therapy: so you feel alright for about 10 minutes / feel alright for 20 minutes / feel alright for 40 minutes / drop it and smile / why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life

a marriage proposal/a tight-knit family (reprise): oftentimes lovers are crazy people / sometimes they kill each other / just like a biblical brother / did to his biblical brother / back in biblical times / biblical times? / biblical times / oh those biblical times

trina's song/march of the falsettos/trina's song (reprise): they fight too hard / and play too rough / they sometimes love / but not enough

the chess game: life's a sham and every move is wrong / we've examined every move as we move along

making a home: loving our / liking our / hating our lives / making a home

the games i play: play again the music / it's a song that i've been waiting to hear for much too long / years, years too long

marvin hits trina: mendel plans to rub my back / mendel's not a maniac / and he's sweet / and he's warm / and he loves me so

i never wanted to love you: i never wanted to love you / i only wanted to see my face in yours / jason's wild / save that child / how he adores / and hates me

father to son: a man, kid / you'll be, kid / if nothing goes wrong / sing for us all / as you march along

falsettoland/it's about time: one day i'd like to be / as mature as my son / who is 12 and a half / and this tall / that's all i'd like to be / that's all (honorable mention to: shiksa caterers / short insomniacs / hypochondriacs / yiddish-americans / feisty families / radiologists / intellectuals / nervous wrecks)

year of the child: there'll be food / like food never before (this line has always been SO hilarious to me for some reason)

miracle of judaism: would they come, though / if they were invited / and not / laugh at my hebrew / and not / laugh at my father and his friends

the baseball game: just what i wanted at a little league game / my ex husband's ex lover / isn't that what every mother dreams about / having at a little league game / looking at whizzer is like eating treyf

a day in falsettoland: in the 60's everyone had heart / in the 60's we were all a part of the same team / in the 60's we had a new world to start / could this / oh god don't say this / could this be / the new world we started

everyone hates his parents: everyone hates his parents / that's in the torah / it's what history shows / in fact, god said to moses / moses, everyone hates his parents / that's how it is / and god knew / because god hated his

what more can i say: can you tell / i have been revived / it's so swell / damn it / even i'm surprised

something bad is happening/more racquetball: my spirits sag / when i read the magazines / men dressed in drag / next to their moms / passion and fashion and filler / but not a word about the killer / i like the ballgowns but jesus christ

holding to the ground: i hold to the ground as the ground keeps shifting / keeping my balance square / trying not to care about this man whom marvin loves / but that's my life / he shared my life / yes that's my life

days like this: i think you need to play some chess / jason, sit down and begin / i'll let you win, whizzer / don't let me win / i'll let you win

canceling the bar mitzvah: why don't we tell him / that we don't have the answers / and that life can be grim / life's not all about him / and things rarely go according to plan / tell him things happen / for no damn good reason / and his lack of control kills what's best in his soul / and this is the start to his becoming a man

unlikely lovers: i can't help but feeling / i've failed / let's be scared together / let's pretend that nothing is awful / there's nothing to fear / just stay right here / i love you

another miracle of judaism: i don't know if you exist / i can't hear your fingers snapping / are you just a big psychiatrist / or can you make things not happen

something bad is happening (reprise): something that kills / something infectious (this was my attempt to not just do the entirety of this very short song lol)

you gotta die sometime: death's a funny pal with a weird sort of talent / he takes me in his arms and walks me to the bed / he pins me against the wall and kisses me like crazy / the many stupid things i thought about with dread / now delight / then the scene turns to white

jason's bar mitzvah: son of abraham, isaac, and jacob / son of marvin / son of trina / son of whizzer / son of mendel / and godchild to the lesbians from next door / sing, oh sing, oh sing

what would i do: do you regret / i'd do it again / i'd like to believe that i'd do it again and again and again (see: love is blind)

falsettoland (reprise): this is where we take a stand / welcome to falsettoland

send me an album & I'll pick my favorite lyrics from every song

[thatsuhboldchoice]

since i'm now on at least my fourth time watching the falsettos proshot AND i spent this afternoon watching falsettos highlights on youtube i'd like to share my underrated trina moments in act i

the entirety of four jews in a room bitching because the entire point of her in that song is that she's underrated

i see you exasperated and picking up that block furniture, trina

love is blind vocals and harmonies just thanks everyone i have been blessed

there's a moment in thrill of first love where trina has to look away and it's such a touching moment so thanks stephanie for your acting and thanks james for keeping them all onstage so i can watch a masterclass in character work and staying present

ditto with her watching jason throughout marvin at the psychiatrist

in everyone tells jason to see a psychiatrist i don't exactly know what is happening in the music but there's some sort of descent of half steps she does when she's tugging on jason's shirt and it's just beautifully executed musically and acting wise

(it's the same bit she, marvin, and jason do in harmony after the photograph which is also beautifully executed)

GET THEE TO A PSYCHIATRIST

i mean this entire song is full of brilliant choices from everyone

the little chastising gesture she does on "late for dinner late again"

i live for trina and whizzer moments and in this had better come to a stop when marvin leaves them centerstage to go back to mendel and they're just left there and whizzer is his indignant self and trina is upset and they're literally saying the same words and dealing with the same shitty behavior from marvin i'm emotional already

chop chop chop chop

the cross stage push and the hand off to whizzer and the duck you know what i'm talking about

what can i even say about i'm breaking down

i know it's not underrated but i will say that i am STILL seeing new things in that song every time i watch it

this time i'd like to give a shout out to the small movements/isolations stephanie does in time with the music because i'm obsessed

there are some with the knife that are hard to catch and i still cannot believe the number of perfectly executed individual beats she squeezes into that song

the perfect housewife pose she freezes in when taking mendel's hand in jason's therapy

"i'll wait for you" and the nose scrunch and the head shake and the little steps in time as she exits

trina n the boys as background dancers for feel alright

the sweetest way jason brings her down off the block for a marriage proposal

in a tight knit family reprise i barely even hear the guys literally all i can see is trina in the back with her head against the block and it HURTS

and then when the men all line up facing her that visual does things to me

which brings me to the most underrated song which is trina's song which reaches into my chest and rips my heart out every time

except what i'm feeling is tired

i'm tired

i honestly have cried every time i've watched that song

and then she comes back in with a costume change and confidence and BELTING

i'll try TRRRRY

i'll cry

no i'll laugh

and then the men come back into the line AGAIN and then she does this little eyebrow raise to the audience as she leaves and my insides are rearranged

james lapine and stephanie j block i have some words

making a home is entirely a delight but i just want to say

"to show we read"

never clocked before that trina and whizzer are wearing very similar shirts ouch

"and he loves me so..." i just love stephanie's delivery here because yes marvin is a grade a asshole in this scene BUT she uses the line to be crueler than she needs to be which makes her that much more human, which makes the entire end of the act that much more painful

every time trina and whizzer sing the same lyrics together i'm like marvin please stop hurting the people you supposedly love

i know we're far beyond just underrated trina moments but i do have to break down from "do i love him? no" into the slap because the blocking is SO brilliant

to begin it's so clear at the "do i love him? no" (if it hasn't been already clear) that marvin is taking the breakup with whizzer out on trina

marvin goes into "i'm so dumb" and you might think he's going to leave

thus that completely silent still cross builds SO much tension and THEN he hits the arch and it and the music come crashing back into the sustained "why"

and i cannot tell if it is just the filming angle from the proshot, but there's this almost fake out with mendel where marvin sings to mendel first and then turns to whizzer and then when he's turned back to the living room it's trina there and it's straight into the distanced slap

but just the entire way whizzer is 100% part of the emotional flow of the scene, while not actually part of the living room scene, and then the build up of tension, but with no indication that it's leading to the slap, so when it comes it's truly a shock, and then the cherry on top is the choice for it not to be an actual slap, just the implication of one, which somehow stings more and catches everyone off guard

and that's how you bring a scene, nay an entire act, to a climax

*chef's kiss*

and then her little "no no no"

and then finally for act i what kills me is

"i only wanted to love and not be blamed"

let trina have nice things okay
