i just adore the fact dylan mulvaney appeared as one of the guest producers in gutenberg! the musical

for those who don’t know: she starred in a production of book of mormon! and now she’s appeared with josh gad and andrew rannells like i’m obsessed my heart is full

[understance]

doing this in one sitting bc i want to!

1: marvin!

2: marvin 😡

3: …marvin

4: cordelia :/

5: marvin & whizzer bc their relationship shows how imperfect relationships can be, but they learn from their mistakes and change for the better

6: ‘what more can i say?’ or ‘the games i play’, because i love the solo songs and the spotlight it gives the characters (also they’re just amazing songs)

7: ‘marvin hits trina’ solely because i hate seeing trina go through that 😕

8: whizzer laying on marvin’s chest in ‘what more can i say?’ because GODDD IT MAKES ME SO UPSET. seeing them so happy makes me wanna cry bc they’re so sweet

9: literally every-time they’re dancing stupidly tickles me half to death

10: “we’re just gonna skip that stage” AAAHHH

11: basic answer but marvin for obvious reasons

12: MORE LESBIANSSS. i would’ve loved to see their friendship with marvin more

13: loved mendel until he said “i know more than you do” to trina cause SHUT UP

14: ‘days like this’ but i need to be singing every single part

15: unrealistically, MARVIN. however i am not a man and therefore will never 😕 realistically, cordelia bc i’m a non-jewish lesbian who can’t cook (and i can sing her parts decently well). i’d LOVE to play trina but i don’t wanna take away from the jewish representation

16: charlotte bc RICH BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHOS CONFIDENT AND DETERMINED AND AMAZING

17: every single character bc i need to know all of their thought processes during every single event

18: whizzer leaving marvin was definitely for the best that first time around. ik it wasn’t really his idea bc he got kicked out but you get it

19: i need to sing with marvin bc CHRISTIANS VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL

20: andrew rannells my beloved

21: i actually DID convince a friend to watch falsettos, and i literally showed them pictures of bald christan borle, and i think i made them watch TTOFL

22: act 1 bc i love drama

23: marvin’s entire character is something i could talk about for days on end (+ m&w’s relationship is smth i analyze SO MUCH)

24: kevin price bc i just wanna see what the fuck would happen (honorable mention is connor mckinley, cause i feel like whizzer would help him realize he is, in fact, very gay)

25: MARVIN. (ik it’s not a good thing but a lot of him resonates with how i am)

26: whizzer and jason’s friendship makes me SOB

27: “whizzer, kid you’re looking very good today” but also “i’ll let you win, whizzer” “don’t let me win” “i’ll let you win” tears my heart into little pieces

28: marvin hitting trina will forever make me want to break smth

29: LOOK AT HERRR

30: fire musical 🔥 (it changed my life)

[southparkthetwosidesofacard]

tony award thoughts. glad to see gatsby getting only one nomination, they dont deserve more than that, despite the fact that the cast is quite good. disappointed to not see james monroe inglehart nominated for spamalot he put his whole heart and soul into being as goofy as possible and he deserved it, but happy for leslie rodriguez kritzer finally getting her flowers. also glad to see shaina taub getting her flowers even if i have mixed opinions on suffs as a piece of theater and a concept. im happy for merrily, and am pleasantly surprised that gayle rankin was nominated for cabaret. seeing the list of best musicals and seeing that only one of them is a truly original piece (even then, it's based on a moment in history) is incredibly disheartening. also why was gutenberg nominated but not spamalot (ik its clear i have favorites but it was a much better show and clearly not just a vehicle to bring two stars to the stage and stupid cameos and stuff-- no real hate i think andrew rannells and josh gad are very funny especially together, but :/) I hope that jaja's african hair braiding wins, i was really sad i couldnt see it. cabaret will win best revival, though merrily winning wouldnt be shocking-- in fact i could easily see merrily winning and the cabaret fans being very very upset in the way that people get online lol. i am a best musical category hater, but i guess i can root for suffs on principle, though i am interested in the outsiders and apparently its quite good. the tonys are all one big ad, and every year the nominations (and winners, real ones know what im talking abt *stares forlornly and vindictively at 2017*) prove this, but it doesnt make it any less demoralizing.

[dilatorywriting]

I'm sorry if any formatting is wrong, this is the first time I've done this. SPOILERS(?) for 2016's Falsettos

I absolutely LOVE your Reaper Rook. I was originally a bit iffy with him (the character), but your characterization of him made me fall in love!

After I found you a few days or so ago, I binge read all your posts (your Valentine's special, Teacher's Hero vs. Villain, and Monster Mayhem Malleus have all found special places in my heart) and everytime you update I'm over here in a flash. Anyway, your answer to "What if Baker!Yuu got a bounty placed over their head?" got me thinking. And I'm dangerous when I think. I also connect any brainrots in my head to a song; the song I thought of for this brainrot was 'You Gotta Die Sometime' by Andrew Rannells from the 2016 musical Falsettos.

In both of the pre-choruses, Death is personified. In the first, it's more platonic/slightly romantic.

'Death is not a friend/but I hope in the end/he takes me in his arms/and lets me hold his face/he holds me in his arms/and whispers someting funny/he lifts me in his/and tells me to embrace his attack/then the scene turns to black'

I feel like this is kind of how Baker!Yuu thinks of Rook. He's not their friend, but more of someone who is just there a lot of the time; a friendly acquaintance. If they were to have a bounty over their head and Rook had to kill them, they'd hope it was peaceful and that he'd be nice about because of their relationship (if it was this early on).

The second pre-chorus is more sexual/romantic.

'Death's a funny pal with a weird sort of talent/he puts his arms around me/and walks me to the bed/he pins me up 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'

The first line is self-explanatory. Moving on from the very obvious first line, the next verses Baker!Yuu would only think if they were given the time to fall in love with Rook. Now, they probably wouldn't think this exactly as they're more dry than dramatic like Whizzer is (the man singing the sing), but they'd think something similar if they were attracted to the reaper.

Another few verses that strike me as relevant that are early in the song are 'Death's gonna come/when it does, screw the nurse/I'll be eating hors d'oeuvres.' It makes sense that when Rook comes over, Yuu isn't that freaked out as it's become part of their daily routine. Though, I don't think there would be any nurse involved.

I'm sorry for how long this is. I've had this stuck in my head and needed to get it out. Originally, there were two more paragraphs about the plot of Falsettos, but I didn't want to bore you. Hope you can make sense of my word vomit. Please take care of yourself and drink water!

I've never seen/listened to Falsettos, but that all does sound like it matches up CRAZY well. I am a massive sucker for personifications of death in media (I mean, obviously enough that I had to vomit up one of my own with the help of a very lovely anon lol) I always get super excited when songs and things manage to line up with something I'm brainrotting about.

And thank you!! I'm glad Reaper!Rook managed to drag you into his clutches too ;)

ANDREW PLEASEEEEEEE COME BACKKK AND DO A SHOW PLEASEEEEEEEEE I NEED TO SEE HIM SO BAD MY GODDDDD IDC WHAT IT IS JUST PLELAYDYSEEEFWFESEESES

[kookies2000]

Just wanted to get this off my chest. About why I think Trolls 3 outshined Wish big time on this years villain song.

I can't say anything that hasn't been said about "This is the Thanks I get" song. It's plain, sounds like a Lin Manual song without the talent, Disney lost their touch, ect. I wanted to talk about Chris Pines' performance and using Trolls 3 as a comparison because they both come out in November.

I like Chris Pines voice, but he sounds like he's performing, that's it. Gives a good performance, stays in tune, and does his growl/rough voice for the anger part, but that's that. I can't put my finger on it. He doesn't sound like he's into his role. He JUST sounds good.

Trolls 3, Andrew Rannells and Brianna Mazzola "Mount Rageous". Just listen to it on YouTube.

Not only does it sound villainous while also making it clear their villains who are trying to manipulate everyone into thinking their good. The performance Mazzola gives is beautiful! Listen to that girl belt, sing, hum, the little voice cracks, and acting. I haven't listened to her work before, this is the first time I have heard her. And wow! She sounds like she fell in love with her singing role and sang that song with every tiny drop of passion in her heart. Rinsed it all out! Dipped it in more heart and soul and rinsed out again. And Andrew Rannells is just backing her up. 🤣 The poor dude got drowned out by the lady. Which makes sense if you've seen the film already.

That's what I miss about older Disney villain songs. The actors are in love with their roles! They sing out of passion, they reach deep into their souls, and sing it proud. I like Chris Pines, but he sounded like he wasn't into it. Or maybe he just wasn't given much to work it? Could be that, too.

Had to get that off my chest. I may be disappointed that Disney failed in a good villain song this year, but at least Dreamworks filled in that void with Trolls 3.

In Too Much Is Not Enough, Rannells takes us on the journey of a twentysomething hungry to experience everything: new friends, wild nights, great art, standing ovations. And at the heart of his hunger lies a powerful drive to reconcile the boy he was and the man he might have been with the man he wants to be. As Rannells reveals how he merged these Andrews into the one who made his Broadway debut at 26, he also shares stories from his path to the Great White Way, from horrible auditions and behind-the-curtain romances to the exhilaration of landing his first gig in Hairspray and the heartbreaking death of his father at the height of his ascent. Along the way, Rannells learns that you never really leave your past--or your family--behind; that the most painful, and perversely motivating, jobs are the ones you almost get; and that sometimes the most unforgettable nights are marked not by the hot clubs you danced at, but by the recap over diner food after.
