[izzy-mccalla]

The Prom 7/23/19

idk what this is read it if you want

Seats we like back mezzanine right in the middle

The longacer is so like small and intimate, it felt like the actors were like right there

The overture is so good you go orchestra

Changing lives is such a good opening number cause it just pulls you in right away

“What didn’t they like? the hiphop?” “Well yes but that’s not it”

After Barry gets dragged in the press Dee Dee’s like ‘well that’s not that bad’

Trent is known from being in a sitcom instead of a hair commercial

He also just quotes complicated shit a lot

Angie says that they should abolish the electoral collage and Dee Dee raises her hand and says “As an exercise lets pretend that we don’t know what that is”

“What’s trending?” “Trump” “uuh” “Trump” “uuh” “Trump” “uuh” “Trump” “UUGH”

When they do the les mis line angie is waving a white towel behind her head

I have said this before but CAITLIN KINNUNEN I LOVE YOU

Emma is a mood

Alyssa has sass and I love her too

nick/hockey stick it’s true love

goddammit emma says the gay white rosa parks line kill me

“At least you aren’t on meth; I talked to the other principal, all he deals with is meth”

mrs. greene fuck you

“WILL THERE BE HOMOSEXUALS AT THIS PROM” dude chill

Alyssa is on the student council (get it babe) and Hawkins asks what she thinks, but Mrs. Greene interrupted her

“i’m as gay as a bucket of wigs” is a great line that we should appreciate more

Barry’s dancing is.. interesting

The girl who dee dee thinks is Emma looks traumatized for the rest of the scene

beth just went for it in its not about me we love an icon

why did people cheer on the straight people like broadway line, go away

I could write essays about izzy’s alyssa

she’s so scared I just want to hug her

the godspell costumes are worse than they were in atlanta

seriously

the acceptance song is just so bad

they all play kazoos

instead of the black sheep BARRY wears a shirt that says I’m a lesbian when everyone else has the we’re all lesbians shirts

#FirstWeKillTrentThenWeLeave

I’m so glad Emma still canonly drives a pickup

Barry let her wear the vintage tux

It’s really clear that finding out that Emma’s parents kicked her out is one of the first things where Dee dee is actually like “This is wrong”

The background to you happened is that because the prom is back on literally every single couple is doing promposals on the same day

behind them when emma and alyssa are singing you can see the other ensemble members all doing promposals in different ways

Kaylee and Shelby see Emma and Alyssa during you happened and figure out that they are together which is why they don’t tell Alyssa about the fake prom

when Mr. Hawkins hears Dee dee’s Eleanor he asks if she’s choking

Michael Genet was really good, his voice was super nice and low in we look to you

I’m pretty sure Emma was wearing the same medical bracelet as the tonys!

Barry never came out in high school which is why he didn’t go to prom

Alyssa tries to come out to Mrs. Greene during tbty but Mrs. Greene interrupts her

okay the tonight belongs to you reprise is HEARTBREAKING

Alyssa and Emma are standing back to back in the middle of the stage while Emma talks to Mr. Hawkins and Alyssa talks to her mom

The lighting is purple on alyssa’s side and blue on Emma’s

Mr. Hawkins and Mrs. Greene are standing in the same place on the different sides and they each explain taking turns talking

ex. 

Hawkins: “The courts told them they had to hold an inclusive prom”

Mrs. Greene: “Everything’s fine we did what we were required to do”

and so on

Alyssa and Emma say oh my god at the same time in the same voice and my heart SHATTERS

Then Alyssa has to face Shelby and Kaylee who tell her they know and are like “We’re doing what’s best for you”

The tbty music picks up after Emma sings her verse and picks up the phone

Alyssa is just so scared someone hug her

someone hug Emma too

Dee dee just wants to go home

Every fucking stop on Trents tour is cancelled

“Seek out the young people; talk to them, converse... rap”

the lady’s improving was phenomenal like holy shit just overall beth leavel was AMAZING she was all in

the entire 7/11 scene is just pure gold trent has obviously never actually interacted with a teenager

Trent has been jc in three different things

or as he says “I’ve been crucified three times (twelve if you count the reviews”

alyssa greene almost made me cry

I don’t know what I can say about it other than give Izzy a tony

Emma has so much faith in people, protect her, but also it’s unrealistic teenagers don’t have faith in people anymore (fact checked by me a teenage lesbian)

When brooks sings barry is going to prom he’s just alone in the motel room

and he uses it

he twirls and runs back and forth and leans dramatically against the door

unruly heart basically made me cry

the ensemble in the pajamas? I love all of them?

There is another reprise of changing lives the cast recording lied to you

Alyssa tries to come out again after the video but Mrs. Greene interrupts her again and tells alyssa it’s not actually her and the only reason she is thinking those thoughts is because of whats happening

Trent has such a nice relationship with his new students

I don’t know what to say about the end because its just so good mrs. greene realizing she doesn’t speak for the community? alyssa declaring her love? Trent telling his “class” to settle down? Barry telling mrs greene that she's going to lose her daughter because he knows? mrs. Greene telling alyssa that she just doesn’t want alyssa to have a hard life? Alyssa realizing that coming out feels good when she does it on her own terms? barry hitting on that random parent? dee dee telling barry not to let her destroy hawkins? the weird suit like leotard with stars or something on it that one of the background lesbians wears? the kiss? all perfect

I stagedoored! I met 10 ensemble members, Michael Genet, Brooks ashmanskas, and Izzy mccalla
