[sagegreenconverse73946]

Christmas Kids by Roar is so Calypso and Odysseus coded like-

"Ronnet my dear don't ever disappear do what you want as long as you stay here"

"And love is a tower where all of us can live"

"If you ever try to leave me I'll find you Ronnie"

"I'm leaving Phil, I'm leaving now I'm going to escape but you won't know how"

"I'll drink myself to death inside, this prison cell"

"So get me out of here"

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES IT RIGHT??

HELL YEAH IVE BEEN WAITING 4 THIS QUESTION--

long story short, yes, it was incredible and if ur able to see it I would HIGHLY recommend getting tickets

Going into detail tho...

Let's start off w/ Jordan Fisher since he was (imo) the weakest link of the main cast. The end of Joannah was kinda anticlimactic and his vocal range wasn't the best. You could tell he didn't have opera lessons or smthn whilst the whole cast was very classical sounding, but I'm going to take a guess he just didn't have enough breath support since he sounded a bit shakey towards the end. He was stronger in the second act tho he wasnt rlly belting then. Jordan Fisher has never rlly surprised me vocally, but that's not rlly a bad thing, I just kinda wish they casted someone a bit more fit for the role.. but if that was the "worst" thing abt the show, I think it's going to be just fine.

The ensembles dancing was either hit or miss, some of it was very awkward whilst other numbers was incredible and clever. For "there was a barber and his wife" They had two dancers on a platform where they danced in the dark and it made them seem like silhouettes in the moonlight. Seeing as the show is still in previews, tho, they still have time to patch it up :).

Gaten Matarazzo was great as Toby and had nice vocals. I was also able to see him in deh and although he was more a talking role I think he is a great singer and actor. He definitely pulled off the ending as well and didn't worry about looking attractive or something while conveying to the audience that he had succumbed to the stress of his situation. Believe it or not I've seen a few shows where an actor would try to make themself look hot but also insane and its just kinda annoying tbh-- like they always sacrifice being believable over being handsome/pretty. All in all, he is a great performer and had wonderful stage presence.

Johanna was incredible. Like actually incredible. Green finch and linnet bird is one of my favorite numbers and she did it justice. I forget her actresses name unfortunately, but she was truly Johanna when she was onstage, and embodied the character beautifully.

Beedle was hateable as was the judge, but that's good because it means that they did their job well. Funny thing is that when he said his line "Deceiving slut!" A person behind me just went "oh-- 😨" and it was clear everyone was surprised.

The beggar woman was so good omg-- like she was great at switching between personalities when begging and it was so funny at times but other times it had the audience sobbing or thinking.

Mrs. Lovett was so incredibly funny it was unexpected. She's no Angela Lansbury but I think it's unfair to compare them to each other since no one is going to be as great as her. She was very lively and I never felt bored when she was onstage! Well-- I was never bored during the show but you know what I mean! Her songs were great and she has her own little twist on things. I don't know if they changed the key for "worst pies in london" bc I haven't listened to the og recording a lot but I wouldn't be surprised since every Mrs. Lovett has had a different key it seems. I really hope I get to see her in something else because she was just so fun to watch and I just loved her so much!

And finally...

JOSH FUCKING GROBAN LEZZ FUCKING GOOOO--

I love that man! I fucking love that man so much 😭!

He was absolutely incredible. My mother said she doubted he would be able to pull off an insane middle aged man but my god, he did it. It was strange to see him being so mean and malicious considering he seems so nice irl, but he was so great and I'm so glad he got to play Sweeney. And I'm even more thrilled that I got to SEE him play Sweeney. His vocals were stunning and he was incredible at acting (even if Todd himself is a rather silent and monotonous man).

So yes, all in all, it was amazing and I rlly hope I'll see it again! Here are some pictures of the stage and playbill :)

music recs uuuuh lessee

nerdy folk/filk: Vixy and Tony, any album really. their newest "We Are Who We Are" is their best imo, but I have a particular soft spot for some of the tracks on "Thirteen" (specifically the title track, Mal's Song, and Companion).

SJ Tucker, also most albums, she's a little more fae-leaning in topic, and her album Mischief is my favorite.

folk/indie/rock/idek: The Amazing Devil, their album ruin. All their albums are great, The Horror and the Wild and Love Run are both wonderful, but ruin is just blast your butt off amazing

Juniper Vale, Everything is Color. Juniper Vale is just... really pretty music idk man. The singer's voice is so pretty. Slightly poppier sound but then they're pure folk when they go full acoustic, so I think it goes here.

indie rock: James Marriot. He's only got like one EP out, Bitter Tongues, but it's worth it, and his singles are also great. He started putting out music during the pandemic and he's relatively popular in certain online circles but like, the music's actually REALLY good.

Lovejoy, EP Wake Up & It's Over has already been recced and at this point even if they're new and not yet SUPER well known they're not obscure by any means, but I'm seconding it. it just goes so fucking hard.

Wilbur Soot, Your City Gave Me Asthma. Wilbur Soot is the online... persona? stage name? of Lovejoy's frontman Will Gold, and this was one of his solo projects before Lovejoy's creation. It's quiet, mostly just one guitar and sometimes a drum, and it's a melancholy depressing sort of album, but it's great for like sitting with your headphones on staring out the window at the rain, if you know what I mean.

Sub-Radio, EP Past Selves. If you've seen that "Stacey's Dad" tiktok go around? That's Sub-Radio. They're queer (or at least the frontman is) and they're just so uplifting musically. Even when the lyrics are a little less happy, I'm constantly filled with joy listening to their music. Highly recommend.

that's all I've got. I'd recommend the Mechs but I'm preeeeetty sure you know them already. ;)

this is so many thank you i appreciate it!!!

i didnt realize wilbur soot was a music person, i've only seen him mentioned sometimes on tumblr and i think i thought he was a video game streamer lmao.

i admit i dont rlly like the amazing devil but i usually like music that sounds like them, idk its nothing against them tho

and yeah i love the mechs <3

Stand by me, pretty in pink and dirty dancing 😗✌️

Stand by me: why did you last go on a road trip?

me and my family went to the countryside since my grandparents live there, and we basically go there every month or so, so yeah :)))

Pretty in pink: what's your signature 'look'?

ooo nice question. I go back and forth a lot between all black and pastel and pinks, but some constants are gold earrings, lip gloss, and open hair (if its cooperating). if I had to choose like one look tho I guess I wear all blacks a lot, esp now that its getting colder and I can rlly get into my good wardrobe

Dirty dancing: where were you when you first heard your favorite song?

okay so I don't really have one favourite song at a time, and its usually like a couple which keep changing, but one song that I've been super into for a couple months now is 'mr. e. m. forster, sir' by chuck coleman, and I highly highly recommend it to my maurice mutuals and followers if they haven't heard it, or even if you like cute lil songs and haven't read/seen maurice give it a listen !!!

so I basically heard it at home when I was going through a playlist made by @cianishere on spotify and I was like oh??? this slaps??? and that last stanza is just everything and yeah I love it 💜

was the stuff u got from ur haul good??

it was pretty good for its price ☺️ I wouldn’t say its super amazing like branded stores but quality was v nice for its cheap price

my personal favorites were:

white giraffe embroidered blouse (7/10) - the design was v cute but the cloth was somewhat see through

floral mock neck top (9/10) very nice!!! I love the floral print bc its perfect for summer + the quality was better than I expected

black sandals (10/10) I rlly like how comfortable it is and the simple design it has 👡 theres even a white one available and I’m tempted to get it hehe

Burgundy criss cross shirt (5/10) kinda disappointed bc it had lots of good reviews. it was too big on me but probably bc I have a smaller frame

ankle boots (9/10) very nice quality!!!! this has been trending a lot and I’m rlly happy I finally got a pair

plaid pleated skirt (9/10) I’ve been eyeing these bc they look super cute and reminds of a uniform haha + its a skort ♡ its a little short tho so be careful

floral embroidered bomber jacket (7.5 /10) its supposed to be a bomber jacket but its more of a kimono but its still really lovely ✨

flames sweater (7.5/10) I rlly liked the sleeves bc it looked cool and it reminded me of the bts song “fire” 🔥 the material is slightly thin tho

camel suede skirt (10/10) my favorite item bc its rlly AMAZING and it rlly looks good when u wear it. highly recommend this
