Shoutout to my tragic theatre kids. My girls born to play Elle Woods who have dark hair. My people destined to be Misha Bachinski who are 5'2". My people who should be analyzing newsies choreo who have face blindness. My Cats fanatics with no flexibility. My girls made to be a Veronica but are forced to be a Martha. Female Audrey II s. Male Janet Weiss's. The wrong range for the right role. You are meant for this character but they weren't designed for you and there's nothing you can do

I've seen posts doing this before, but I wanted to make my own. Shout out to everyone in theatre who will never get the roles they want. To the trans women whose roles written for them are always given to cis people. To the trans men who will never get cast as the leading man because their voices are too high. To the white girls born for The Book of Mormon. To the Black girls born to play Elle Woods. Altos and non-belters born to play Lydia Deetz. Adults who never got their chance in Annie or Oliver! Women who want to play Hades. Men who want to play Persephone. Actually disabled actors who likely won't even be Crutchie or Ricky Potts, let alone anyone else. The Leading Player who doesn't have the range in either direction. Jane Doe who isn't a soprano. Adolfo Pirelli who can't do accents. Anyone whose dream roles are from shows where the rights aren't released. I love all of you. Don't let the directors tell you no. You got this <3

it seems to be rightfully impossible for Mike Faist to have a major role in a movie/musical without making it unbearably homoerotic
and honestly? love that for him

COWBOY AUS WOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!
I’ll be doing a poll on TikTok soon to see if anyone wants me to do more of these.
((Full background for an au, then pencil drawings of different ships/characters in that au))
Making this background was really fun and I kinda wanna explore more backgrounds. The next aus that I have in mind for this similar concept would be:
Teacher au (either both are teachers/employees, teacher/coffee (or other) shop employee, but no teacher/student)
Coffee shop (could fall under teacher au? Or the other person is just a busy worker lol you know how coffee shop aus work-)
Beach vacation (gotta have them swim suits)
And if anyone has other suggestions I’d love to hear them! And send in any ships you’d like to see in these drawings. I’d like to make this into like a series or something..so it’d be fun to add more couples to the canvas!

i usually move on from musical obsessions within a few months, but it’s been a year and a half of newsies running and jumping and flipping through my head and there’s still no end in sight
