Janet Krupin sings "Wind Up Doll" from the musical KPOP by Helen Park & Max Vernon

They fumbled the ball with the Broadway transfer of this show but I've been loving the soundtrack- I think it would have lasted a bit longer if they'd released the cast recording while the show was running rather than [checks notes] seven months after it closed.

[meandmypagancrew]

[much-brighter-ink]

helloo! :) for character analysis,, maybe a comparison between elizabeth, kaitlyn, and zoe’s annleigh? that or literally anything about farrah because i just love her a lot fjdkdjs

fljksjfkdj thank you so much for this and sorry it’s so late!!!!! Annleigh (& her and Farrah’s dynamic) is my absolute fave to analyze and the timing is so perfect because I have so many thoughts I need to get out about recent canon

Note: this was written over the span of about a week and isn’t proofread so may be a bit incoherent or repetitive at times

(under the cut!! TW for brief mentions of alcohol, death, a lot of neglect, and abuse)

Ok so for a starter about Annleigh in the script: I initially disliked her for her brittleness - she’s very bright and peppy and shiny with quite hard exterior (her treatment of Farrah, etc), which breaks open quite a few times in the show. I’ve definitely grown to like her a lot more over the past few months, but the little bit of backstory we’ve gotten softens her slightly and gives her a lot more depth, which I love.

Something interesting I learned a few weeks ago when reading an interview with Preston is that he said over the drafts of the script, Farrah has changed the most and Annleigh has changed the least, but considering how different the Annleigh portrayals I’ve heard are, that probably means a lot of Annleigh’s characterization relies on playing off of Farrah. For example, a very vocal, bitter, angsty, emo Janet!Farrah who isn’t afraid of her addiction is balanced out by a very warm, more subdued, but extremely open Elizabeth!Annleigh who’s much less “feral” and more “lovesick teenager” (and as @letalloursingingfollowhim pointed out, it wouldn’t be surprising if the roles were reversed and Annleigh was the one who actively tried to form a relationship with Farrah but Farrah was the one to push her away because she’d rather go through all the hurt alone) whereas off-bway’s Farrahs are both much softer, more insecure, and trying as hard as they can to fit in balanced out by very blunt, energetic and soft yet brittle Annleighs. I would say Janet!Farrah is probably trying to distance herself from Elizabeth!Annleigh’s “perfect” persona because she doesn’t want to be associated with any of that and wants to break away from her family, especially assuming she comes from a family of abuse and alcohol overuse (and her drinking stems from a lot of that before she and Annleigh even met, while off-bway Farrah’s seems to be more recent and stem from loneliness and rejection), Caroline!Farrah feels like she’ll never meet Zoe!Annleigh’s standards for her and thinks she’ll be loved more if she does, and Zoe!Farrah is convinced that she has to keep trying because it’s not her constant mess-ups that make Kaitlyn!Annleigh “hate” her, it’s her dislike as a person and exasperation with responsibility, so if she just shows enough love she’ll finally feel enough. I’d also say that with both J&E and C&Z, Annleigh does feel like the older sister role (because canon) but the two don’t actually have much of an age gap (this could superficial because of height stuff and vibes, etc), but with Z&K, Farrah definitely feels at least a year younger and seems a little scared of Annleigh. While E!Annleigh is a little overwhelmed by J!Farrah, she does want to help her, but she’s not in the right mental place to do so because she’s still trying to move on from the loss of her dad - but she doesn’t blame that on Farrah - compared to K!Annleigh, who kind of uses anger to cope with the fact that she’s hurting inside and projects that all onto Farrah. She’s not ready to accept that she has a sister because doing so would be accepting who she’s lost and how her life has changed and can’t go back, because thinking about that would break away her “perfect” facade. And I think Zoe!Farrah knows this, a little, and wants to help if Annleigh would only let her in but doesn’t know what to say or do, but instead she pushes her out because she sees her as someone looking for trouble and taking away her emotional energy. I see Zoe!Annleigh not really having any strong resentment towards Caroline!Farrah, really just not understanding her, pointing towards an effort to keep their lives separate and an “I will look forward and pretend my problems don’t exist because that’s how my world works or it crumbles since I’m the perfect child in my family and teachers’ eyes” attitude, and Caroline!Farrah thinks that’s her fault, but Annleigh doesn’t really get what she’s doing wrong or how she’s hurting her. Watching the concert, I don’t have much to judge Elizabeth!Annleigh by (I would love to see her perform Move On, though), but I think she’d start off in complete and total denial (not even Kaitlyn!Annleigh’s “Clark and Farrah deserved it” but just refuse to even mention Farrah) and then unraveling to a complete mess because she’s heartbroken that she’s now alone and never got to have a relationship with her step-sister. On the flip side, Kaitlyn!Annleigh’s denial seems very anger-centered because she needs a reason not to grieve - she definitely has a little survivor’s guilt, but she’s not going to admit that she misses Farrah until she feels actively threatened (IDK) and her emotions in Move On seem very concentrated, like it’s years of bottled up trauma that she never fully let loose but she’s doing it now because she has no one left to lean on. A mix of the two, Zoe!Annleigh’s very quiet and I guess… “trembling” is the best word? during Move On like she just has no idea what to do because she’s lost everyone who cared about her and no one seems to get it, and she definitely doesn’t seem to believe what she’s saying about Farrah and Clark being punished, etc. (Also, quickly acknowledging the “you pray to god and wonder if he’s there” line in Phoenix - that’s SO SAD?!?? Annleigh’s faith is her one firm belief she’s held no matter what, the one thing she’s confident in despite her peers’ comments on it, and probably the primary thing she used to cope with her father’s death - and NOW, after losing her sister and boyfriend [the two people who would listen to her and get her through a rough year], she’s doubting the beliefs she used to lean on like a crutch? Poor girl please please give her a hug)

I have quite a few more thoughts but I’ve forgotten most of them so I’m gonna post this now and edit them in later - hope this was ok!! (It was mainly an Annleigh ramble/cheer stepsisters dissection I’m going to do a full individual analysis of each and go deeper into Farrah but for another time) Anyway thank you so much for this!!

[lactosefreevanillayoghurt]

*slides in seductively* heyyyyyyyyy

😂

heyyyyy kieraaaaaaa

*janet krupin voice* mkay

off we go

first impression: genuinely it was just oOH PINK cause of your icon?? i was like yes. pink. that is all. :D

truth: ULTIMATE MUM FRIEND PLEASE HUG ME ILY LOTS OMG AAAA also pls write a fic with me im d e s p e r a t e also you're so damn kind im-

how old do you look: this is such a weird question um 16 or 17?????

have you ever made me laugh: all the time. it never stops.

have you ever made me mad: never omg

THIS IS STILL CUTE SO BEST FEATURE UMMM you're just really lovely and really reassuring and good at helping people and also yea so supportive it makes me so happy (oH also i forgot. best feature:::: gay.)

crush??? no *shrug* k cool

you're my stabby family ily omg heck

[one-time-i-jumped-off-a-cliff]

Got any random musical recommendations? I need something new to listen to haha

yes i have many !!! these are mostly ones i don’t talk about a lot bc if you’re here you probably know about like. we are the tigers or six. but in no particular order:

everybody’s talking about jamie: PLEASE it’s so good the soundtrack is original and it SLAPS and i’m gonna go put it on right now. there’s a proshot and apparently a movie in production ??? idk but it’s about a british kid named jamie who wants to be a drag queen and if you’re a fan of six the proshot has courtney bowman and cherelle jay was in a later cast !!!

bring it on: 👌👌👌👌 a+++ obc, ariana debose, kate rockwell, taylor louderman, elle mclemore, ryann redmond (and janet krupin for all the watt in concert peeps), killer instinct is one of the most fun villain songs ever

alice by heart: GOD I LOVE THIS SHOW. it’s a little hard to follow so probably should be reserved for when you have some time to rewatch/rewind every once in a while but it’s so worth it. the score is beautiful and there isn’t a single skip on the album (side note bc i cant not say it: kim blanck loml <33) and it’s just such a beautiful show. it’s by the same guys that did spring awakening so if you like that all the more reason to watch this !!!!

octet: speaking of kim blanck! it’s a dave malloy show so if you like ghost quartet/great comet definitely check this one out it’s acappella and about like tech and it’s not entirely focused on that but it’s so good???? this is the only one i don’t have a boot of so i don’t actually know the entire plot (if anyone does have one PLEASE hmu) but beautiful lives in my mind rent free and little god is a thirteen minute trip and a half

36 questions: podcast musical featuring jonathan groff and jessie shelton !!! it’s about a couple who try to repair their marriage using the 36 question experiment. if you still need convincing it also features a duck named henry who has impeccable comedic timing and loves cheerios.

the mad ones: this show makes me want to turn the radio fully up and drive through nevada all night with the windows open. follows samantha brown as she grieves her best friend kelly manning and tries to sort out what she wants for her future against other people’s expectations. plus the off bway soundtrack has krystina alabado, emma hunton, and ben fankhauser so what’s not to love

random ones i don’t feel like going into but are worth mentioning: willow, love in hate nation, 35mm, waitress, hadestown, legally blonde
