Saw someone say musicals were never made to be sad, never meant to be tragic and I'm ????? There has always been a very special kind of sadness in musicals. Some undefined melancholy.
#please tell me its not just me ?#ive never seen a musical that was 100% happy tbh. before you ask disney doesnt count#they have always been some pensiveness some melancholia in musicals especially in solo songs#just like any play or any movie you'd tell me and you would be right#but imagine someone come into your house and say 'video games were never meant to be sad'. bullshit.#like what video games did you even ever played#well same about this. what musicals did you even see to say some bullshit like this 😭#musicals#musical theatre#aura wanders again#I MEANT TO WRITE 'THERE' IN THAT THIRD TAG I PROMISE I KNOW THE DIFFERENT ITS JUST A TYPO AND WAS TOO LAZY TO CHANGE IT

Plays
Round 1
A Doll's House :
youtube
Cyrano de Bergerac :
Oh my how do I explain ? I guess I could say this play has panache
Well you have an English translation here to start with - as far as I've seen it's okay-
It's a -by the looks of it, heavily- fictionalised version of the life of the real Cyrano
Cyrano's a great duelist and a good poet but he's very self-conscious about his nose (even if ladies reportedly don't mind).
For starters, Cyrano isn't older than Roxane and Christian – he's supposed to be about 21 at the start of the play and not middle aged as in many adaptations. He's in love with his cousin Roxane, who's in love with Christian, another man in Cyrano's company. Roxane is an intellectual and Christian isn't good with words, so he seduces her with the help of Cyrano, who writes his letters to Roxane – and prompts Christian discreetly when he talks to her

2023-2024 Broadway Season Ranked
I saw every new show that opened on Broadway in the 2023-2024 season. Once more, perfectly normal and not at all cost-prohibitive. Compared to seasons' past, this one was plentiful in new musicals and utterly bereft of quality. Usually I have at least four shows that rewire my entire circuitry, but not this time.
Do you have strong opinions on any of these new shows? Are you filled with unstoppable rage at this list? Do you agree wholeheartedly? Discuss.

#personally i know taako is taako but like cmon. barry.#have u seen him as the red robe#barry's mom forced him to do theatre as a kid to get him out of the house#and he ended up being rlly good at it. v important to have a sense of showmanship as a necromancer#i have no opinions on his transness but if he's trans he was the one trans guy who always got to play men cuz there werent enough dudes#icarus is talking#taz

sorry but i hate that claudia's dress is hung up like it's in a museum. i know why it is, and it's sweet and tragic and i don't blame louis for trying to both honor and grieve her in this way, but i hate it <3 that her clothes fitted perfectly just for her by her immortal companion, just like her diaries, her own private thoughts penned down throughout her life, have been preserved and made perfect in bright open spotlight for gloved hands and watching eyes to feast on even in death. kinda hate it here
#j watches interview with the vampire#sorry i can't stop thinking about claudia she is haunting Me#like i understand keeping it! i'm assuming he got it from the theatre before burning it down since santiago clearly kept it#and i was struggling to think of how louis could treasure it in a way that didn't feel almost. exhibitionist#and i was like well. actually lots of people keep and treasure personal mementos like this#they just don't have the money or desire to put them on display#they tuck them in chests or boxes labeled keepsakes and pull them out to hold and breathe every once in a while#they're private reminders of love and life just for us#but a tragic thing about louis i think is both that living post claudia has felt more like playing house for so long#and his own grief being back burner-ed for decades at a time leads to processing in a more poignant and visual way like this#for louis i think it's fine tbh! i think it's what he needs to feel close to her beyond the rocks in his ankles#but for claudia i hate it#if that makes sense. there is no reminder of her after her death that can't feel a little Displayed and i think it's by design#it's a story about memory and the exploitation of writing it down and publishing it#putting your own personal everything on display to be consumed by onlookers#and since claudia now only exists in memory of course she highlights this in a most emphasized way of all the characters#it just sucks. guys it SUCKS

With the release of From The Rehearsal Room - Tokyo to Ramin's youtube I finally, finally, continue and finish this side project I'm doing.
Initially, I used AI to mastered it because the first version I got from bilibili were not in good quality but I wasn't satisfied and I found the much better quality. But with Ramin uploaded it to youtube, I re did all the mastering just with audacity for both Part 1 and Part 2. The Part 2 is still from the better version I found from bilibili, by the way.
What you need to do is just download the file and put it on your music player. The metadata is all completed as if it's whole legit album. Enjoy, guys!!
And I'm being weird so all the lyrics that are put there are from my listening although I still use what I found online but I still listened and compared. They made few ad-libs and changes and I notice because for the songs that I wasn't familiar, the lyric that I found online and what they sang was slightly different. Perhaps they sing the newer version of the lyrics or mistakes? Even each Sheytoons songs they sing one in both parts differ from the ones I found online.
Another sample from my favorite:
Source and Credits Part 1 | Part 2 (Ramin's upload) Album cover Photos
Vocal & Guitar: Ramin Karimloo, Hadley Fraser Piano: Ryohei Mori
#from the rehearsal room#ramin karimloo#hadley fraser#more to come probably idk we'll see#i should've also continue that eight letters project *sigh#sheytoons#edit: the lyrics hehe#add: tbh after i read steal our moments lyric so many times i even transcripted this mostly myself#bcs this is the only one among all the songs in this session that doesn't have the lyric online because they sang this so rare like soo rar#why am i starting to feel this song is about sierra lol sorry but my inner shipping heart can't resist#i even consult chatgpt (i know why idk but just asking really)#aren't all sheytoons songs written when ramin was in LND? written exactly in his dressing room in adelphi theatre???#and tbh most of sheytoons song are mostly about observing women but who idk it could be different#one of them could be about mandy and the other could be about rosalie because i know at that time she and hadley were dating already right?#or it could be some random lady#steal our moments: perhaps it's about a fleeting or secret relationship#the first verse is that the girl is full of life (house full could mean fulfilling life) but she is lonely and sierra lived alone in london#the singer and her share dreams and memories and then she plays her game of make believe could indicate that both of them are actors#every night and every day this is what we do: that's their work. they're on stage together every day every night. and ofc spending time tgt#and then the reff is about the singer doesn't want keep living like this bcs it makes him guilty maybe? he's tearing his soul apart#the singer can't stop thinking about her so he prays that things work on in the correct way even though they can't do anything about it now#so yea :D#fish noodle couple

To say she's a Diva in the most literal terms is an understatement, but in this case, this seems like the most innocuous thing Patti LuPone has said all week.
#the show is objectively extremely loud and it shares space with another theatre housing a quiet and intimate play#making sure sound design does not affect another show's performance is a perfectly reasonable thing to do#asking the show to do so in a private request is not unreasonable#if the show had refused that too would not have been unreasonable#sending flowers to thank the stage managers for being considerate of the show next door is a gesture of goodwill#the booth already has to deal with the fucking pedicabs blasting that fucking song along the northern wall along the right orchestra
