What’s the name of that Bible musical you’re obsessed with and will it come to the US someday?

Umm... Which one? 👀

Right now, I’m obsessing over Daniel the Musical by Sight & Sound Theatres. It’s in Lancaster, in the U.S., so if you live there, it’s perfect for you! But you better hurry, because they’ll stop showing Daniel after this year.

The same group will bring back David the Musical next spring, but it will be in Branson!

The other one I’m into is called Beloved King: A Queer Bible Musical. It’s still in production, similar to Epic the Musical. So far, only a 6-song EP has been released.

Priorities: The Lawrence Gordon Edition

i think the reason queer kids feel so safe in acting class and the performing arts is because these spaces encourage them to do something the public school system would never dream of: be weird.

normalcy is never encouraged and always critiqued in theater spaces. you’re to be big and loud and bold. you could land the role of your dreams because you happen to be great at mimicking bird calls, could debrief the whole cast on your extensive knowledge of mini-golf while they listened intently.

queer kids so often feel alienated by schools, by trying to fit in and be nothing.

but the best part about acting? you get to be everything.

Ghost Story: a new musical is up on YouTube!

Two love stories between Chinese American and Polish American men haunt the same Montana ranch house — one century apart. As past and present intertwine, the lovers confront long-held fears in their quest to determine if they love one another for the right reasons.

GHOST STORY is a new musical exploring queer interethnic intimacies between working-class immigrants in the early Mountain West, as well as the complicated racial past of modern gay relationships. Through a story about love, culture, and identity, the show asks: In making meaning from the overwhelming tragedies of queer history, how do we balance seeking truth and beauty?

This presentation includes mature language and some mature themes. Stream our live cast album here on Spotify (and look up Ghost Story Melliot on other streaming services to find it!)

Okay so. For those of you who are out to get me over ANY opinion of mine ever.

I'm a minor. I just had my first day of high school today. Some (most) of the people who have given me shit over my thoughts (again of any kind) are GROWN ASS ADULTS. Like, in their bios, they list themselves as 25+

So. When I have an opinion that you don't like, that's not okay at all, but when you, again, a grown ass adult, send me hate in my asks and tell me off for voicing my opinions and dm me telling me all the reasons why my opinion is not valid, then its totally chill and fine.

Additionally, you don't know me, adult or not. You have no clue who I am and you shoot hate my way like nuts. You don't know that I struggle with mental health, and you don't know that the musical I'm talking about literally saved my life, you don't know that the post I made about my queer identity were made after getting chewed out relentlessly just for who I love, you don't know that I'm shit at reading people and often come off as harsh because of that.

But you make fun of me for saying that I was anxious about something, saying I'm just a dumb teenager being anxious over nothing. You rip into me for having a favorite musical. You make my post about being bi all about how you think bisexuality is a sin. You mock me for being blunt.

So. Fuck off. I don't give a shit about your opinion. And, adults, don't you think cyber bullying youth is taking it a little bit too far?
