HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN

Screw you, Roméo et Juliette's your Les Mis

If I weren't lazy I would do R as Juliette and Montparnasse as Tybalt, but alas I'm just a girl, so just have the triumvirate as the montacrew for now

Also go listen to RetJ if you haven't yet, its better than 80% of Broadway musicals

European musicals explained really badly:

Woman keeps seeing her imaginary friend well into adulthood. This ruins lives.

Rich guys new wife is obessed with his previous deceased wife. This is the only thing she and the housekeeper agree on.

Child prodigy realizes that being an adult sucks.

Village boy battles vampires and bisexuality.

Two kids decide that dying is better than enduring their families’ bullshit.

Girl just wants to perform in the Opera, forced into a love triangle where both men suck.

Adolescent girl is under a lot of pressure in her new school, starts talking to a statue in the garden.

Crownprince only has dysfunctional relationships and he is very sad about it.

When everyone is talking about Romeo and Juliet on Broadway but the only version of this story you're willing to consume is this 20+ years old french musical (and all the adaptations because of course you need to watch them all, how else would you know how crazy and iconic the hungarian one was)

absolutely in love w every retj screenshot i occasionally save to pureref (also greetings to RetJ fandom nice to see yall)

[joodeegemstone]

i wish there was a bigger audience for musicals that didn't originate in english. i wish these musicals were getting movie adaptations where the fandom could speculate and complain about casting and cut songs and changes.

I'm still very attached to the French musical and I turn to it when I'm a little stressed out about study, so… THEY. THESE ARE WONDERFUL GUYS. I LOVE THEM.SO…

og!tybalt and revival!mercutio had to be kept in separate productions because otherwise they would have burned verona to the ground and then fucked nasty on the ashes

After years of saying I will make cute lil chibi European musical stickers I have finally done it! Forgive me for drawing more Der Tod's than any other character, I'm biased towards him. Hopefully I covered most of everyone's favourite Euro musicals.

They're spread across 2 listings because Etsy only lets you have a max of 70 options in the drop down. Volume 1 has German and Dutch musicals and volume 2 has French and Russian musicals.

All the musicals here: 3 Musketiers / 3 Musketiere, The Count of Monte Cristo / Der Graf von Monte Cristo, Der Besuch der Alten Dame, Elisabeth das Musical, Demon Onegin, The Last Trial, Ludwig2, Master and Margarita, Mozart das Musical, Mozart l'Opéra Rock, Notre Dame de Paris, Rebecca das Musical, Roméo et Juliette, Rudolf Affaire Mayerling, Schikaneder, Tanz der Vampire, Vivaldi.

I can’t link to my Etsy without risking Tumblr hiding the post from tag search results, but the link is in my pinned post, my carrd, I’m emptymasks on Etsy. Reblogs help support artists more than likes ❤️

[ID: Individual pixel art chibi drawings of 70 characters from various European musicals (listed above) that are available as stickers. These drawings are also available as badges where they are placed inside circles to show what they will look like as physical button badges, some of them with plain colour backgrounds and some with 1-3 different pride flags as examples of how you can customise the backgrounds.]

Europeans translating American musicals: So we worked closely with the original composer to make sure our translation is as faithful as possible while remaining a singable rhyming translation. If a literal translation is not possible, we use a localized replacement that works in the target language. Please don’t hate us, we tried our best!!!

Literally anyone translating European musicals: *splotches lyrics on a plate like spaghetti, spits in it, and shoves it in your general direction* Here’s your stupid Eurotrash pop slop in English, happy now???? Also, we turned your corny-ass fauxpera into a comedy and replaced half the score with useless reprises. As is PROPER.

TOP 10 THEATER ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS, SINGLE CATEGORY TAGS ONLY VERSION (2009-2022)

If you want to see the Theater bar chart with the multi-category fandoms included, please check this post.

To make these bar chart race, all series titles in the Theater Category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, manually filtered for fandoms belonging in only one category, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

The high-ranking Les Miserables tags (Les Misérables - All Media Types & Les Misérables - Schönberg/Boublil) are both in multiple categories (Books & Literature & Theater) so it has been excluded in this bar chart. You can see it multicategory version.

Fandom tags that are no longer in the Theater category tag as of posting this are left out of the bar chart race. These tags are usually either miscategorized or already have other tags referring to the same fandom.

Please refer to this post for more fanfiction bar chart races.

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
