#proud and punchline actually tied! i'll do one for each

[wormwoodandhoney]

imaginary musicals >> proud! a modern, lgbt+ version of pride & prejudice

featuring such hit imaginary songs as: proud, universal truth, despite myself, the polite duet (so nice to see you), pemberley, now i’m in the middle, and the wedding waltz.

beto bennet (george salazar) is an outspoken, proud gay activist with a perfect older sister, jane (presilah nunez) and an overbearing mother ready to marry them both off (rita moreno). things take an annoying turn when jane meets the rich and handsome bingley (jelani alladin) and his best friend, equally rich will darcy (ben platt). darcy thinks beto’s family is loud and obnoxious and thinks beto’s mission would be better with a little more quiet dignity.

beto and darcy do not get along- at least, that’s what beto thinks is happening until darcy confesses his feelings in a confusing, sort of insulting ballad. beto is honestly not sure what is even happening.
