happy sleepover saturday!!!!! if you could only ever watch one of these for the rest of your life would it be sexy oklahoma or don giovanni (i think it's. aioux? production? your special one, you know)

also!! here is spitfire & the girls

A CRUEL AND VICIOUS CHOICE. they are like two sides of the same coin to me.... Well considering i am literally watching the latter right now,

also OMG what fantastic beasts!! Girls Night

[ask meme]

#the dramaturgical parallels between don giovanni and oklahoma have gone unexplored for TOO LONG #also you have to introduce me to the gerbils they are new beasties to me #i like that they are all always in a pile. like the weird sisters from macbeth #ask meme #sleepover saturday #sasha answers #domesticatedanimals #ty jack beloved <3 <3 #living up to your url tonight lol #in more seriousness it's a very tough choice bc both are so heavily dependent on the cast to me #and the Experience of watching #bc sexy oklahoma in its Prime Form to me was broadway with the immersive thrust stage and the cast #it suffered a bit in the move to touring (although the differences were juicy to chew on)#meanwhile the aix don g i've of course only ever seen the videos not live #(gd. if i'd seen this thing live LOL)#and the 2017 aix video not only has an Amazing cast but literally the most gorgeous and effective filmmaking i've seen in an opera recordin #it's just gorgeous to watch. so well lit and shot and edited...#AND there's actually a replica/revival production of this staging out of. barcelona i think it was? somewhere in spain.#with a different cast as well as Much simpler (and. worse) camera and editing work #and it's Also on youtube haha #and. ngl! it kind of sucks! at least in comparison to the grand high that is 2017 aix lol #it's just so much flatter and blander. which is so interesting to me because i think the staging itself is SO good #but the effect doesn't hit right without the right cast...and in video without good camerawork #so it's Really hard to choose one or the other for me lol
