i had never once mentioned it and honestly i don’t know why but my production of urinetown had puppets. we learned how to use puppets for a show about piss. my off night puppet was the best looking one cause i got my connections (me and the techie making the puppets are friends)
okay but actually more about the puppets because they were so cool
-the character who used the puppets the most were the poor character and poor ensemble
-the whole thing with the puppets was that it was like physically showing how the poor were like puppets following orders from the rich
-bobby had this really big puppet where u could control the hands
-at the end of follow your heart hope KISSED the PUPPET and then bobby like became free from his puppet
-it’s showing how he became his own person cause this is when he gets the idea for the revolution yknow
-and then at the end of look of the sky is when all the poor ensemble (minus little sally) shed off their puppets
-because!!! bobby convinced the poor the join the revolution!!!! its showing the rich losing their power!!!!!! its cool trust me
-also don’t be the bunny had puppet choreo which is was the coolest
-also side note while the rich and cop ensemble didn’t have puppets they were like their own thing
-rich people were real life marionette dolls who all dressed the same
-cops were robots
-yes barrel was also a robot
-this does technically mean that lockstocks only friends were a robot and a child
-anyway back on the puppets
-so about little sally!! her thing with the puppets was so cool
-so!!!!! with the puppets basically all poor characters would talk through their puppets. like when they speak the puppet also speaks. opening their mouth and everything
-but!!!! little sally doesn’t control her puppet
-lockstock does
-HEAR ME OUT so basically every single time little sally says a line lockstock is somewhere with the little sally puppet controlling it
-but little sally would give him the puppet!!! like willingly
-it shows how lockstock was like manipulating sally but she was letting him yada yada
-so like whenever lockstock wasn’t on stage and little sally wasn’t yapping she held onto her puppet like a teddy bear
-yes a puppet of herself was her teddy bear dont think too hard on it
-anyway so little sally was the last person to become free from her puppet
-basically during act one finale when she says to lockstock “this may not be a happy musical but its still a musical! and when a little girl like me has been given as many lines as i hav theres still hope for dreams!” is when she SNATCHES her puppet out of lockstock hands
-she SNATCHES her own free will guys!!!
-yeah so the puppets weren’t used to much for act 2
-but!!! during the end of i see a river is when everyone (even rich and cop people) pull out a puppet
-we had this whole ending scene with all the puppets in the sky
-AND MALTHUS OR WHATEVER HIS NAME WAS
-HE WAS THE TRUE PUPPET MASTER
-we have like this balcony thing on the top of our stage and one of the techies went up there to be malthus
-also!!!!!!!! at the end of the musical when everyone gets their puppet back lockstock gets sally and sally gets lockstock!!!
-they’re both manipulating each other!!!
-healthiest father daughter relationship

WONDERFUL question @magentagalaxies :]
so picture this. you're in the middle of a 20 year water shortage. a shortage so bad water consumption has to be strictly regulated. by getting rid of private bathrooms, and only allowing people to do their business in public, pay-to-use toilets. if you can't pay, you don't get to go, and if you try to do your business in the bushes or in jars in your home you'll get caught and arrested. breaking the public health act gets you sent to Urinetown. no one knows what Urinetown is, but it's a bad place
our narrator is a cop, Officer Lockstock, who throughout the show talks to the audience and a girl named Little Sally about the show. he gives the show's twist away halfway through act one
our leading man is Bobby Strong, an assistant custodian at the poorest public toilet in town. his boss is a lady named Miss Pennywise. in the opening scene, Bobby's dad's short on cash and can't pay the fee, so Miss Pennywise won't let him in. when Bobby won't help him out he ends up doing his business on the sidewalk and gets exiled to Urinetown
our villain is Caldwell B Cladwell, the guy who runs the public restroom company and put the fees in place. he bribes the lawmakers and cops to do his bidding and let him keep raising the pee fees, promising the people his company is looking for longterm solutions to the water shortage, but it seems all they do with the money is go on vacations
our leading lady is Hope Cladwell, bastard daughter of Mr Cladwell and Miss Pennywise, just returned from the most expensive university in the world to work at her dad's company. character of all time. she meets Bobby, hears of his guilt over his dad, and encourages him to follow his heart and do what he thinks is right
so Bobby starts a revolution at the toilet he works at, letting the poor in town pee for free
shit hits the fan after that! Hope spends most of act two as a hostage. people die. the two cops have a literal honest to god Destiel Superhell moment, where Officer Barrel tells Lockstock he loves him, Lockstock says "I see" and then Barrel immediately gets murdered
it ends with a stinger joke that exactly two people have laughed at throughout this entire run, and I had to look it up to get it
it might be my favorite show that I've worked on

are you ever coming back to the urinetown fandom? we miss you so much 🙏🙏🙏
if you ever do headcanons of the poor ensemble like soupy sue, billy boy bill, robbie, tom, etc would be so cool omg!
oh fuck man I have the attention span of a labradoodle I don't know if I will 😔😔😔
your support and love is not ignored, though, and I'm very grateful, so for you troubles I will offer you this:
soupy sue has the biggest heart (I'm aware she helps kill barrel. don't worry abt it. soupy sue said acab). maybe she used to work at a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter? maybe some of the poor knew her before the drought and maybe she was known as Soupy Sue because she worked at the soup kitchen?
in our production Billy boy Bill, tiny Tom and robbie were all a trio but with this beautiful air of stupidity. like. loveably stupid.
I really like robbie in the Broadway version. he's this big stocky guy I could totally see chilling at a pier somewhere.
hungthefuckover staring out at the river with his fishing pole next to him
damn robbie wouldn't be able to fish anymore :(
tiny Tom looks up to Bobby like an older brother
our hot blades harry had some post apocalypse biker chique going on it was pretty cool
little Becky two shoes gets so much support from the other poor. they source out baby clothes and maternity clothes for her
genuinely I think the ensemble/the poor folk have to be so united. they're kind of all in this together and that's what binds them together as one entity.
they pilfer and steal from each other but I don't know that they would start fighting amongst themselves because they know at the end of the day that's only going to make them weaker against the rich
they'd have to exist in this sort of awful us vs them mindset because if they don't it leaves them vulnerable?
they do unethical and immoral things because a) they have no other choice and b) they know there's no better alternative. it's going to suck but at least it's going to suck together.

My favorite parts of my production of urinetown (Part Two)
The sound cue on "Miss Pennywise" and "Caldwell"
Getting slow-mo beaten up
Bobby flirting with hope the entirety of run freedom run
Everyone being madly in love with bobby in run freedom run
Officer lockstock and little Sally sobbing hysterically into handkerchiefs after follow your heart
Little sally's look of utter horror as Lockstock calmly narrates everyone's demise
Hot blades harry using an inhaler like he's doing drugs after snuff that girl
"YOU CAN PUNISH OUR BODIES MR CLADWELL BUT YOU CAN NEVER PUNISH OUR SPIRTSSSSSS!" (demonic elmo pose)
Ghost arm wiggles after Tiny Tom and Old Man strong speak
Cladwell mewing on "you're making me BLUSh now"
"A RIVER?" Absolutely possessed voice of Ol' Ma strong
Hotblades Harry slinging an arm around Mcqueen and leaning his head on his shoulder "with whomever you like"
Hotblades harry blowing his nose with hopes hair after tell her I love her
the disgusted looks on the poors faces during the "i'm not sorry reprise"
"WHY NOT" (throws a Hotblades tantrum like child)
"To manipulate great masses of people daddy" (sad face as Cladwell dismisses said great masses of people)
Bobby high fiving the poor during look at the sky
Barrel and Lockstock posing in kung fu poses as bobby shouts "run, run for your lives!"
Bobby opting up in run freedom run after blowing a kiss at little becky
little becky passes out from too much bobby strong
the memos Bobby was handing out (heart, BS)
"Hello Bobby" Angry "Hello hope"
Our fipp hopping around on the floor as a bunny, fully scrunched up
Hotblades has a toliet tattoo
Everyone killing someone new every night with different methods and degrees of violence
Pennywise grabbing Bobby strong's face in look at the sky
the multiple fights and mental breakdowns happening in look at the sky whilst being frozen
Possibly More to follow this one

staring at you with big autistic eyes what musicals do you think the rest of the young justice crew would like
sorry i took awhile to respond because,,, big state test (my brain exploded but i'm ok now) anyways,, musicals!!!
kon
the lion king
cats
chicago
overall i think he's a big fan of musicals that just kind of,,, don't translate well to screen format (see into the woods, as well!). like stuff that's so overtly theatre it's hilarious. kon and cassie have a lot of overlapping taste imo (cause kon likes the theatrics and cassie,, is a theatre kid)
bart
oklahoma
footloose
cats
overall, big fan of musicals with lots of dancing numbers (so stuff like west side story & newsies would also be a lot of fun for him!) and anything from the 80s cause,, i hc that he's a big fan of the 80's that's all. probably overlaps with kon because a lot of the theatrical stuff has big dance numbers.
tim
phantom of the opera
west side story
company
overall, tim is a big fan of the really dramatic and sad musicals - les mis, perhaps. also stephen sondheim is his KING. in his opinion stephen sondheim never misses. he's simply better, simply built different.
cassie
the pjo musical
rent
urinetown
basically, think of any musical you've ever seen. cassie LIKES IT. she was that hamilton kid. she was the deh kid. she was all of it. she's soo cringe. new favorite rn is probably hadestown for her though!!!
cissie
les miserables
waitress
mamma mia
overall, her taste is really basic cause she's not a theatre kid.
greta
creepy. she is stage tech anyways she likes
ride the cyclone
the sound of music
wicked
overall she likes a lot of the magical-nonsense stuff involved. anything involving kid protags is fun for her.
anita
wicked
six
little shop of horrors
overall, anita is a big of any musical with big belty mezzo roles, so a fuckton of modern-day musicals. she will sing it. she also like a lot of the darker musicals, but with a lot of humor!
slobo
beetlejuice
the rocky picture show
six
overall likes a lot of the musicals with darker humor like cabaret and chicago, if that makes sense? like that kind of crude musical with big fun numbers.
traya (*BONUS*)
evita
frozen on broadway
west side story
overall, happiness and true love. she loves stories about true love.

the other day, my Spotify played one of my favorite songs from Urinetown and I just broke down and cried LOL. I’m scared that now that I’m done with school, I’m gonna regret not auditioning for it. like there was no practical way I could’ve done the show, even now, but still that has not stopped me from regretting things before.
I think my big issue rn is that I’m convinced I’m missing my window to play a lot of my dream roles, and convinced I’m never gonna be able to do theater again. I was like “that’s it I guess, I’m never gonna be able to play little Sally, I’m aging out” as if my entire typecast isn’t “precocious child” and every role on my resume isn’t a child or teenager. & I’m acting as if nobody’s ever gonna do these popular shows ever. Like nobody’s ever gonna do Urinetown again? no one’s ever gonna do Carrie again?
I’ll be fine, and I know I’ll be fine, but the demons continue to torment me LMAO

i miss urinetown so here are some little sally character notes i made while i was little sally so i can cope
- she really likes flowers
- like she can look at a flower and immediately name it
- “oh thats a diphylleia grayi” “a what”
- due to the water shortage though there isn’t a lot of greenery
- so she usually just draws flowers everywhere any chance she gets
- “give me your arm real quick :3” she says holding a pen having only malice intent behind those big eyes of hers
- she also reads a lot
- not because she likes it but because lockstock just gives her a bunch of books and she has nothing better to do
- i like to think that on like christmas or smth the poor give her like really run down beaten up toys that could give the average child nightmares
- while lockstock just walks up with a bag of books
- not even childrens book but like whole ass college textbooks
- “idk what kid read these days but i like this”
- little sally is too nice to say anything about it
- this is why she knows what metaphysical means
- mcqueen…. (red angry face with fist up)
- i don’t even know what mcqueen could have done to her she just really hates him
- maybe that one time he didn’t give her a coin really fucked her up
- “one time” it was probably multiple times
- mcqueen probably called her a slur too, before like spitting on her idk
- she’s actually pretty prone to violence
- like she would definitely beat someone up if they wronged her
- the only reason she was so against killing hope is one, in her eyes hope didn’t do anything wrong and two, bobby lovesssss her
- she looks up to bobby a lot
- this is mostly because bobbys like the only character that isn’t completely stupid
- thats not true penny has a bunch of braincells in there
- but penny is scary
- omg theres also her lore with lockstock
- infodumping lockstock and sally’s entire lore
- little sally had pretty neglectful parents
- she was an accident baby and her parents were really suffering from the water shortage so they paid no attention to her
- lockstock met little sally when she was around six and lockstock was still pretty new to his job
- little sally has a big mouth and so one day while talking to lockstock she just casually brings up the fact that her parents piss on the pavement daily
- lockstock of course took action to it and took her parents to urinetown
- BUT but since lockstock was so new to the job he hadn’t fully realized what urinetown was until he was in the middle of bringing sallys parents to urinetown
- so now lockstock feels guilt for killing sally’s parents which is why he acts like such a parent to her
- and also why sally feels pretty safe during the whole rebellion
- i think post tell her i love her little sally joined the rebellion half because she believed in it and also half because she knew that lockstock wouldn’t hurt her
- bro is manipulative
- it wasn’t until she saw bobby literally be thrown off a building where she became scared of lockstock
- it was there when she decided to cut all ties with lockstock
- “oh but don’t they meet up at the end” LET ME TELL YOU
- so you know how after hope is like “yes go pee for free my pookies” the water becomes bad and everyone dies
- because little sally isn’t with lockstock anymore she isn’t protected by the narrative
- SO SHE DIES TOO
- LITTLE SALLY IS DEAD
- so the whole conversation lockstock had with little sally was all a hallucination in lockstocks head
- i guess for lockstock to cope with basically losing the person he considered his daughter
- whoops this turned sad
- little sally braids bits of her hair out of boredom

My school has an audition for Urinetown. I could sing (at least I hope so) just nothing too high or too low. Is there any songs that I could use that would fit or get me a role?
Hey - so exciting! Depends on what role you are going for but some very general suggestions by voice type…
Soprano:
The One Feathered Tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz from Seussical
For the First Time in Forever from Frozen
Never Fall in Love with an Elf from Elf
Alto:
Right Hand Man from Something Rotten!
I Speak Six Languages from Spelling Bee
I Want the Good Times Back from The Little Mermaid
Listen to Your Heart from Young Frankenstein
Tenor:
Bottom’s Gonna Be On Top from Something Rotten!
One Step Closer from The Little Mermaid
Grow for Me from Little Shop
You’ll Be Back from Hamilton
Bass:
Me from Beauty and the Beast
Freeze Your Brain from Heathers
Wonderful from The Wizard of Oz
Hope this helps a little!

urinetown stoner headcanons
it's less than a month to the show and im going fucking nuts. i drove two and a half hours today on a whim. to pick up a toilet seat that my parents didn't need anymore for props. headcanons below the cut >:)
bobby: like i said, he's definitely eaten half a pan of brownies thinking they were normal. he spent an hour trying to scrub a stain off of the side of the amenity until he was told it was spray paint. then he walked to hope's place and started crying about stray cats and how he wanted to adopt them all. he slept for thirteen hours and refuses to admit the incident ever happened.
penny: made the pan of brownies. she does edibles sometimes to destress and decompress and can you blame her? penny on weed becomes the most anarchic, careless person in the best way possible. go piss for free. she doesnt give two flying fucks. the world sucks. commit crimes. just do it. see you in urinetown. bobby once asked her if he could have a raise while she was baked and she said yes and regrets it every single day.
lockstock: listen, ok. i have my heart set on the idea that lockstock is fully aware that his career and position in society is ultimately more of a detriment than it is an aid. i think that knowing this bugs him (arguably). that being said, i think he does smoke, if not for pain management then to fucking forget about how awful everything is. i think the people he's killed weigh on his conscious and smoking a fat j turns that off for a little while. that man will lay on the couch with a bowl of pretzels and watch whatever's on tv until he falls asleep.
barrel: the opposite of lockstock. he's convinced he's helping and maintaining order in society. he likes abiding by the rules. so when he bums a cigarette off of lockstock and it turns out to be a blunt, he immediately gets so paranoid. lockstock has to calm him down because barrel is being SO loud and bro we are going to get caught. like 30 seconds after he calms down and eats something, he passes the fuck out on the couch bc its some strong ass ptsd indica. he very begrudgingly acknowledges that it did make him feel better and that he did sleep well. now, sometimes, after a bad day, him and lockstock share a joint.
cladwell: bro smoked so much pot before the stink years but then he rose to power and imposed laws that made it illegal and thinks he's The Shit for doing it. everyone's fucking pissed he did.
hope: little becky offered her a very special tasting gummy bear once and it was some mad sativa. hope did not shut up. for three hours. all she talked about was how she missed bobby. and how spaghetti was so good. then someone put on cartoons and she was absorbed like an ipad kid on an 8 hour flight.
fipp: would not do weed now but has done it in the past. nightmare blunt rotation. he just talks about politics. and not the good kind. it's terrifying. get that man away from me.
mcqueen: same as fipp but he gets like. scared. i think mcqueen knows deep down that what he's doing is wrong, but he constantly ignores it, so when he's high all that bubbles to the surface and he gets really wishy-washy about what he's saying. honestly i think it would be really funny to watch.
little becky two shoes: rolls the craziest blunts. the tesseract joint isn't beyond her skills. got pissed when she found out she was pregananate because she couldnt smoke weed anymore bc she wants her kid to be healthy. little becky knows where to get the good shit. she's dealing like fucking jesse pinkman from breaking bad.
hotblades harry: same boat as becky minus the pregnant part. they have competitions for who can roll the best joint like it's a cup stacking contest. people bet money. that man has smoked more weed than you ever will. his house is almost constantly hotboxed. hotblades harry more like hotboxed harry.
bonus:
old man strong has taken some mad edibles for hip pain.
little sally is a child so shes not on this list but i will be damned if she doesnt constantly bug lockstock about the funny cigarette she saw him smoke once
after urinetown they still use the secret hideout but it's just for smoke sessions. it's just a blunt rotation. it's comfy now, they made it comfy. they added lights.

Okay Part 2! For some reason, i forgot to mention the new Gypsy casting with both girls in the Notebook as sisters! It's so exciting and I'm glad the cast is going into more shows since it's now closing, with John Cardoza going back to Moulin Rouge too. Interested to hear if Mama was Married now but I think all of the casting is good too with Danny Burstein as Herbie. They just announced Jordan Fisher in Urinetown too but I'm not really familiar with that show. But fun fact I have a book on my shelf with the play lol but I wanted to find a bootleg first I guess..idk lol. Are you familiar with it? Should I just listen to the cast album or wait for clips from Jordan Fisher and this cast?
If you want to know my ranking of bootlegs I watched for comparison, it would be Gatsby, Lempicka and then Gutenberg. However I missed the end of Gatsby, found Lempicka okay but somewhat hard to follow for some reason and dont remember many songs. Gutenberg didn't really have songs and a silly humor but I enjoy both actors a lot and think their humor together is great. However Book of Mormon is not really one of my favorites, so if you don't enjoy that, you probably wouldnt like this. It also took us days to watch but I think it picked up a lot in Act Two and got more bizarre and funnier. But it was also hard to follow since they kept switching characters and the plot isn't supposed to make sense anyway. I also didn't have a chance to listen to these cast albums yet or again besides Gatsby though. I also found a Merrily bootleg and I'm so excited to watch it but have to wait until I can be fully into it and not too tired I've also never listened to all of it except a few songs so I'm excited to see what I'll think of it and I'm a big fan of the revival cast. I've been into a Sondheim mood lately too and his shows always make me so emotional. So at some point I will listen to these along with the Merrily one when i watch it. I'm so excited cuz you love it so much as well!!! I also found Joy Woods and Jeremy in Little Shop that I might watch at some point..maybe closer to Halloween. It's such a different role from the Notebook too even voice wise so I do want to check it out at some point.
I did watch the Death Becomes Her movie last night and am now trying to imagine the upcoming musical. Have you watched it? I do think they are younger compared to the movie when age and looking younger is a big part of it. I also don't know how they would do some of the stunts or fake deaths so maybe they changed some stuff. But I liked it and think it has potential for a musical although I don't know what kind of music would work. Pop doesn't really make sense..idk. what do you think? I love Megan Hilty and think its great casting but that's basically all I know so far. Also the taste music video makes a bit more sense now lol.
Omg that's so cool you're seeing her tour! I saw a few clips of performances the other day on Twitter and it just looks really fun and she put thought into some of the sets and transitions too but idk if you saw or want to be surprised. Juno would be sooo fun live. When's your show? I hope you have a great time! I tried and failed to get Zayn tickets for his SF show in a month but he has never toured so it sold out. Not sure if I will as the show gets closer since it's less than a month now. But I am planning to go to Wicked in the next few weeks if I can. After that is Hamilton and also Kimberly Akimbo and Some Like it Hot is in January. I wanna go to all of these but they're so close together and it depends if I can get rush tickets, but the other shows I haven't listened or seen at all which is why I wanted to go and it seems fun going in somewhat blind but we will see.
I'm hoping to get back into reading more. I'm excited for Sally Rooney's new book but I also never read Beautiful World so maybe I will read that too. How is it so far? I only read the synopsis once I think. Also I'm excited for Jandy Nelsons new book that just came out. I loved the snippet I read but not sure when I will read it. I will go back to reading I'll Give you the Sun at the same time probably so I am excited for that.
I was listening to all of Katy Perry's music before her album and then the new album. Unfortunately I did not like it as much but it's growing on me. It reminds me of Dua's album sort of if you liked that and go in not expecting much..but my sister loved it and now I'm just accepting it as it is. It is not as bad as people said in my opinion and pretty similar to her other albums. Anyway now Lady Gaga just released a short album with a few new songs and covers from the new Joker movie. I feel like it's perfect timing cuz I always pair them together and grew up with following their careers. This is not her new album though..apparently that's coming in February. I know it's not really a musical, more like a jukebox musical with more classic type songs which I don't mind. I did watch the first one anyway so I will probably watch it and she will make it better and also with the songs. I remember they played send in the clowns at the end of the first one so I hope it could be similar to that. I also loved her in Star is Born but this movie will show the more campy Gaga style but the songs are almost similar to her singing with Tony Bennett since they're classics. I'm just a fan of her though and like that she can sing different styles. I do really love her new song with Bruno Mars that almost reminds me of a Broadway duet with a classic type of sound so if it's like that, I'll enjoy it. I'm listening to it later today and can tell you what I think.
Also one of my favorite bands The Cure announced a new song and a album coming out the week after Soccer Mommy! Both of their music really saved me these last few years and it totally shocked me. Their new song is so good and you should give it a listen to see if you like it since it's the same as my favorite type of songs from them lol but they do have more upbeat songs too. If you like it, I recommend their album Disintegration or Wish for more upbeat stuff lol and any Soccer Mommy album. Anyway since you mentioned musical recommendations, I recommend The Violet Hour with Jeremy, Santino Fontana and Erika from Mean Girls. I listened to it after Gatsby and thought it went well. The title song is so beautiful. I hope you like it. I hope you're doing well and have a good weekend! I went to six flags last weekend and might go again in October. My asks will probably be once a week from now on since I feel that works better anyway though. I always read your blog and posts and see your beautiful edits though and it makes me smile!
sorry for the delay in replying my friend!! 🤍 i hope you're having a good october so far!
i'm so so excited for joy and jordan! i wasn't the most keen on jordan when i saw her in the notebook in chicago (saw an understudy — juliette (who i adored) but i've grown to like jordan more through listening to her on the cast recording. but joy... i cannot wait to see her shine. i'm so excited for joy woods world domination. i want her in everything. and i'm really excited for the new cast too, like anna zavelson who was in the recent NYCC piazza that i enjoyed, and i've heard benji santiago was delightful in the muny in the heights, and aisha jackson is deeply beloved too! i am also really intrigued to see who they'll cast for the tour. and i think john cardoza should play middle noah next (just because i want to hear him sing leave the light on, it's not easy, forever, etc.) but also really want him to do other things (would love him to be orpheus in hadestown, or guy in once, or ... so many other lovely roles). it's just been a while i've seen someone as talented and charming and charismatic and sweet.
i am not very familiar with urinetown! i know like two songs, but i've been meaning to check it out very soon — maybe that'll be my cast recording for next week and then we can discuss? 👀 i have no idea if i should hunt for a bootleg either but i've heard people are quite intrigued by the cast.
i haven't seen bootlegs of gatsby or gutenberg, but my friend who loves lempicka sat me down and had me watch it with her. i wasn't charmed by it. i do not particularly care for book of mormon (have never seen it live, but watched a bootleg back in the day, and have listened to the cast recording before) but they have done a wonderful job of casting talented people (a lot of whom i adore) over the years. i hope you love the merrily boot; this production of merrily is just phenomenal. i have not seen the joy/jeremy little shop boot but 👀 i have actually also never seen little shop 😭 you'll have to let me know what you think of it!
i'm going to watch the death becomes her movie with my friend on tuesday! i know the musical did really well out of town and i'm really intrigued to see if it also does well on broadway! i really love megan hilty so i'm just happy she's employed.
i'm seeing sabrina on november 6th! still no idea what i'm going to wear to tour but my friends and i have finally cemented what we're wearing to eras so at least there's that. i've seen some things here and there but i'm not actively looking for things! so i've been semi-spoiled but not quite! i'm sorry about zayn :( i hope you have fun at wicked! i'm seeing it in november :) i'm also going to see back to the future in december! unfortunately, i'm going to miss kimberly akimbo while it's here in seattle because i'll be in california! but i'll be seeing waitress at the sf playhouse so a win is still a win :)
i'm currently reading intermezzo still — trying to finish part 1 by monday/buddy reading with a friend — but i also started reading razzle dazzle: the battle for broadway by michael riedel! emphasis on trying, because i haven't really felt like reading lately! but i'm going to carve out some time to sit down and read intermezzo tomorrow!
i haven't listened to the new katy perry album! i don't particularly care for her music so it is not very high on my priority list, but i did enjoy the last dua album! did you see the brat remix collab list? i'm most excited for the 1975 on i might say something stupid (definitely laughed at that one), sympathy is a knife ft. ariana grande, everything is romantic ft. caroline polachek, and i think about it all the time ft. bon iver! i have not seen the joker movies actually! but i did get a text from a friend being like "DID YOU KNOW this was a musical" in a very accusatory manner 😭 like yes, i personally know every single musical. and am responsible.
i'm so glad you have their music 🤍 and i will listen to soccer mommy soon, i promise! is there an album i should start with first, or should i just go in order of release date? i'm adding the violet hour to my list!! it's a real list that exists on notion! i've never been to six flags — what's your favorite ride? i haven't been editing much lately because i'm 80% sure i have carpal tunnel so i'm trying to take it easy (also haven't been crafting much for that same reason) : ( but i do have a few old drafts i might post eventually <33333 hope you're having a good week my friend! 🤍
