“Musical about a green magic girl who's totally alloaro, trust me, where are you going she's alloaro, I have a whole powerpoint presentation stop backing away from me I have proof she's alloaro just listen to me” - Things I tell my friends to try to get them to watch media I like
#okay; i don’t actually have a powerpoint presentation or an essay or detailed notes yet#and that’s in large part because i don’t have a good way to access the story beats that occur not in song#and that has to do with the fact that stage musicals need to be treated differently than movie musicals#when you want to go about analyzing them;#so it’s entirely possible that there’s parts of the story i don’t remember that either#make it hard to view elphaba as alloaro; or make that interpretation/headcanon problematic;#but cmon. if you look at the original broadway cast recording she’s _clearly_ alloaro#the green the ostracization the voidpunk the imperfect girl she isn’t#and the motifs! so many motifs! don’t know what they all mean yet but there’s so many motifs!#wicked#aro#alloaro#allosexual aromantic#aromantic#aspec#queer#lgbtq#original#media analysis#unpolished media analysis

If there are a million Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them. If there are only two Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them (Eva Noblezada is the other). If there are no Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, Eva Noblezada and I are dead 😔
#hadestown#hadestown obc#reeve carney#eva noblezada#seriously im sick and fucking tired of the reeve carney hate on tiktok#'jordan fisher is the only orpheus that matters' 'jordan fisher shouldve originated orpheus on bway'#'they should replace the obc recording with jordan fisher' 'jordan fisher was the best thing to ever happen to hadestown'#shut up!!!!!!!#i adore jordan fisher but you are missing the point of theatre and hating on reeve in the process!!!!!#you can have a favorite but that doesnt mean the actors who are not your favorite shouldnt exist in that role!!!!!#but also your favorite is wrong!!!!#reeve carney brought more autistic swag to orpheus than anyone could possibly recreate!!!#he was naive he was soft spoken he was unaware of social expectations!!!!!#jordan fisher has such a raw powerful voice and thats not what orpheus needs!!!!! hes just a lil guy!!!!#hes just a lil guy who accidentally had a battle of the bands with the devil and won#because he has nothing in his brain except sing and love his girlfriend!!!!!#i love jordan fisher in everything ive ever seen him in and i adore his voice but please stop putting other actors down#im not a huge fan of the way jonjon briones plays hermes but im not out here talking shit about him!!@#or saying he should never have had the part in the first place#(btw i was joking about the 'your favorite is wrong' thing because - again - literally defeats the point of theatre)#please find ways to say that jordan fisher is your favorite without putting reeve carney down#and also please give reeve carney a chance and dont dismiss him just because he is less conventionally attractive#and hip in popular media and on social media#please give the role a chance for what it is and not just which actor you already like#i was pissed when i first found out they were taking damon daunno out for the obc and adding reeve#the only thing id ever seen or heard him in at that point was the live action rocky horror with laverne cox#and he was fucking riffraff#i was mad!!! i didnt think he could do it!!! but i love the show and i gave him a chance and now hes my all time favorite#between both touring casts ive seen and the pre bway cast recording and jordan fisher#just please stop being mean and give him a chance

les mis enjoyers i have a question okay
#i have a lot of opinions about this btw#namely that the ranking of which ones are the best goes:#1985 london cast recording#1991 paris cast recording#1980 recording (disco enjolras)#and then everything else is irrelevant#and it always catches me out when people quote things with different lyrics#like drink with me#because fr i'm exclusively used to the original english lyrics#les miserables

like literally the entire reason why the movie is on a whooooole other level from the original stage production is BECAUSE of the crazy meta commentary it accomplishes with casting beyonce like truly none of THE MOVIE'S writing could've worked out as well as it did if it didn't have her period because they wrote it AROUND HER
#not to mention ok i did watch a production fancam and also read the og theater script and saw recordings of the first musical cast#and it's quite literally a completely different story#deena AND effie are completely different characters and so is lorrell! and JIMMY was soooo#like in the original he was just jimmy. in the movie. woo boy#i think watching the theater productions help me realize that curtis was absolutely supposed to be gay tho#i think jamie foxx did REMARKABLY portraying it in a more subtle If You Know You Know way that's impossible to unsee when You realize#and this was before me looking up the plot of the movie that the actor deena subplot was in reference to. so.

one of the best things about a seeing a play or a musical in person is the little quirks and unique ways the actors play their characters and how even their appearance or voice can fully influence your perception of a character. unfortunately this is also one of the worst parts of seeing a play or a musical live
#i speak#because then the official recordings are DIFFERENT and its not the same guys :(#i just saw a show and looking at the official broadway recording its like. hm#this cast utilized silence So Well and idk if the original one does it the same#this exact thing happened when i saw a local production of rent a few years ago. the recordings are just different#anyways. sign my petition to have every production record their show and sell it afterwards so you can keep it Forever

Dad went to put on the Les Mis soundtrack after thanksgiving dinner by using voice commands. Immediately, my siblings and I all jumped up to correct him before it could play the Incorrect One. But it’s okay. No need for panic. We managed to get the 1985 Original London Cast playing before there could be any bloodshed.
#we are very particular about our preferred Les Mis recording in this house#dad once bought the original Broadway cast on cd when he couldn’t find the London cast in the house#there were almost riots because it was Wrong#I’ve been in this fandom since infancy and I regret nothing#Les Mis was the soundtrack to my entire childhood#les miserables

*emerges from the crypt*
Hey guys. Long time no post 🥀 I started a class on quantitative reasoning back at the end of June and it has had my soul strung on a wire since. When I tell you I've been exhAUSTED TO THE POINT OF DESPAIR — I have. But I feel kinda better now. I still have one week to go, so wish me luck, but hopefully after that I'll be active again.
I'm sorry I've neglected y'all and the blog, but passing math has been my top most priority and sometimes we have to prioritize things we don't particularly like.
How's everyone been? Knowing my luck I've probably missed something hilariously scandalous on TESblr. 🤣
#not tes#i think I'll pass math with an a that's what i need for my 4.0#there's no such thing as effortlessly smart when it comes to math#i just want to play skyrim and headbsng to the phantom of the opera original london cast recording is that so wrong?#oh yeah the only things that have sustained my soul for the last 7 weeks have been my new violin (a present) and my current poto obsession#if i use the poto musical as a quotes source then it'd be all over for you people#BEHOLD SHE IS SINGING TO BRING DOWN THE CHANDELIER#yeah#mod post

I saw Newsies live again after too too long and man every single time it’s like I’m thirteen again, just pure excitement and joy being poured into my system
#it really is newsies forever huh#y’know back in the day on my original blog I was real active in the newsies sphere#ah the memories hope the old mutuals are doing well#anyways the show was spectacular wonderful cast - real big fan of the casting for Albert they were so perfect#I have to see it again before it closes but my schedule is already so packed with another show and a concert and ttrpgs#I will be so so so tired but y’know that’s what taking days off work is for#the real question will be if I see it three times - a new record for me#on the ‘how many times will I see a version of newsies’ scale#beating out the two times I dragged all my friends to the proshoot when it was in movie theaters#I know I’m rambling and only making sense to myself#but I am sleepy and also very happy because goddamn have I mentioned I love newsies I love it so much#brain thoughts

any og followers know my feelings about ghost the musical
well i just saw the uk tour. and i liked it a lot. yay!!!
#i wore my ghost london hoodie#and yes the special effects were crap but you know what wasn’t crap?#the cast!!!!#i will take cheap sets and dodgy effects for a cast that can act and sing#josh was so good as sam#some of his speaking parts sounded so much like richard on the cast recording it was eerie#urgh but when it was (partly) the original overture? chef’s kiss#and l*s dennis was off praise be hallelujah!!#i still miss the original version of ghost#but i’m glad i had a version i could enjoy for the first time in 12 years 😭🥺

WEST END!!! WHY even make an official cast recording IF IT DOESN'T FEATURE JAMIE MUSCATO'S LONG ASS "WHOAAAA" IN DEAD GIRL WALKING
Heathers is THEEE teen musical. I feel absolutely no shame in how much I loved it back then, 10/10
#this felt like a bucket of ice water... oyu know when you are so sure you know what comes next in a song and it rugpulls you#i never listened to the west end cast recording in full bc i prefer the og one but i remembered i REMEMBERED jamie muscato's insane vocals#that made me go ''oh how come this isn't the original way it's meant to be sung this is ELITE''#well. TURNS OUT. THE CAST RECORDING IS THE REGULAR SHORT ONE. IT'S A BOOTLEG THING. AND ALL COMPLETELY DROWNED OUT BY AUDIENCE CHEERS.#i guess i just dreamed it. i guess i dreamed the crystal clear whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a-a. sad#eernatalk#like why are you cheering have you never seen a bra before??? shut up and listen to jamie ripping a hole through the fabric of reality
