In order to compensate for the fact that someone decided Cats needed to not have cats in it, we will replace the human characters in at least one musical with cats. We are hosting a poll to determine which musical will go full Jellicle in order to restore the balance of the universe, lest we unleash the flesh monster which resides in Patti Lupone's basement.
Every character Jeremy Jordan plays just becomes a silly little guy by virtue of the Jeremy Jordan Is A Silly Little Guy Principle. And the characters get sillier if he returns to the character
Jack Kelly - silly little guy with newspapers (silly guyified between OBC and proshot)
Clyde Barrow - silly guy with a gun (soooo much sillier of a guy in proshot vs OBC)
Dr Pomatter -silly little doctor guy
JM Barrie - silly goofy little guy with bonus trauma ending
Seymour Krelborn - the og silly little guy and Jeremy makes him the silliest
Jay Gatsby - a very silly little guy (the only role I’ve seen him in live and can confirm indeed very silly)
Feel free to explain why whichever one you pick is your favorite! I love forming discussions around movies, shows, etc and lsoh has a lot of things to talk about!
Also I know there’s more like West End productions and tours but I just stuck to the main ones. Oh and if anyone picks the cartoon as their favorite, I wanna talk to ya. I’m not mad I’m just curious as to who actually likes it better than literally anything else 😂
I need more Jeremy Jordan content because I'm running out.
Something that's not death note, newsies, the last five years, supergirl, tangled the series, hazbin hotel, bonnie and clyde, the violet hour, the great gatsby, the greatest showman, waitress, heathers workshop version, it's all coming back to me, disney medleys, spinning gold, joyful noise, smash, little shop of horrors, even the livestream he had during quarantine with Ashley and Clara.
oh also, fun little tidbit about orin's songs: dentist has very prominent and consistent percussion (im convinced it was inspired by "oh yeah, maybe baby" by the crystals.) this sets him up as a character who is stable, powerful, methodical, and consistent in his actions. its also a musical contrast to audrey, whose music is very melody-focused
now (it's just the gas), on the other hand (specifically during orin's parts) is the complete opposite. the rhythm speeds up and slows rapidly, which not only makes it a horrifically difficult song to play and perform, it also symbolizes his slow fall toward death! as he gets weaker, that steady rhythm he once had fades and it becomes more erratic and inconsistent. its super clever and im surpised i havent found other mentions of this
