spring awakeners but they got modern au'd

[wearenotasfarwest]

Literal years ago (the first one I made, the DEH one, was made in August of 2021) I had an idea to make a full ten edit set of letters in musicals. But then... well, a lot of things happened and the project never got finished and in fact, I stopped making musical theatre gifs at all. Without any note or explanation, I just kind of disappeared, and then only recently resurfaced to start posting about Death Note. But while looking through my hard drive, I found these.

They were hard to make and I'm proud of them, but I also know the final four will never be made. I don't even know if I remember now what they were supposed to be. So here.

My final general musical theatre gifset and the farewell I owed you all years ago. This blog will remain, continuing to post about Death Note with a heavy preference to my personal favorite version (the musical) until the hyperfixation passes and then it will probably go dormant again, but I will always be around, even if I'm not posting. If you send an ask or a DM, I will almost always get back to you within 24 hours, usually even less, but if you want daily posts, then you'd have to go find me at @probablygayattorneys which is my most active sideblog, dedicated to the DS puzzle games of the aughts, primarily Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Trace Memory/Another Code Recollection.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the last of the musical theatre gifsets, and so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye.

thoughts on martha ? and the dark i know well?

(Tw for sa)

Oh my gosh i love martha so much she deserves so much better but i do hate how she was kinda used as a plot device to get wendla ro talk to melchior and the beating scene

The dark i know well - Its so haunting and it really shows how alone and isolated martha and ilse feel in their experiences. The lyrics are definitely less metaphorical compared to some of the other songs in the show and im so glad of it because it gives a clear view on what the two girls are going through, how they are feeling and how their abusers take advantage of them and the excuses they use - “child the lord wont mind.” The repetition of “theres a part i cant tell, about the dark i know well” showing how martha and ilse are scared and unable to speak up about what is happening to them, weather its because of how they know how society might treat them, the fear of being shunned and never seen the same, or because they know how it might end if their abusers find out, the fear of it only getting worse. Having to keep their experience of abuse a secret only furthering their isolation and loneliness.

Spring Awakening Fandom Tag

(By @winter-asleepening )

Doing this bc i miss springy wakening😔

1. how were you introduced to the show?

when i was really into hamilton in like 2016 jonathan groff was white boy of the month for a while and i was consuming all the groff content that i could and i came across that video of him talking about when he fucked up left behind. and then i listened to left behind and cried and read the wiki page and watched the obc boot and then i woke up here

2. Seen a production live?

yus i've seen 3

3. Dream role/character you relate to most

i've been in love with wendla since i laid eyes on her and i would die to play her. im obsessed with her, she's got so much more depth than people realize and that was cut during the transition from play to musical fuck you s*ter and i would love to bring that to my rendition of her. and i was also assaulted when i was her age, i was also suicidal, i was also confused af and my mom was not helpful, i also wanted to be loved so badly, i just see a lot of my teenage self in wendla. i related to her so much when i first saw the show and that's a big reason i got so obsessed with it.

4. Favorite male character

prob moritz or hanschen. they are 2 sides of the same dramatic ass coin. they also have daddy issues and are gay like girl me too.

5. Favorite female character

all of them? wendla holds a special place in my heart but like. there is so much to love about all of them even anna and thea who we know almost nothing about have the building blocks of great characters. i've always loved combining what we know about the characters from both the musical and the play to make more complete characters especially because s*ter cut so much of the girls characterization bc he's a sexist pos fuck you and i def do that with anna and thea.

6. Deaf West Revival or Original Broadway Cast?

dwsa for life but obc walked so they could fly

7. Favorite song

AAAAAA probably touch me just cuz it's soooooo pretty

8. Least favorite song

probably woyb bc im heterophobic and melchiorphobic

9. Favorite quote/line

musical: "giving yourself over to someone else? defending yourself endlessly until finally you surrender and let heaven break over you? i just put myself in her place. and imagine"

play: "won't you come visit me in my dreams now and then? i'll welcome you with outstretched arms and kiss your breath away"

10. Favorite TV performance

dwsa touch me on seth meyers i have to watch it daily or i get 1 level of exhaustion

11. Favorite cast member(s)

i can vouch that kathryn gallagher is cool as fuck cuz i met her at a ben platt concert but j groff and jgj seem pretty cool. alex wyse and jbw seem unhinged i think i could hang with them. smf and katie whoever are so talented i wish she wasnt an anti vaxxer. andy mientus attacked me with a candelabra just like riff raff did to rocky😔

12. Favorite cast member moment

when josh castille followed me back on instagram when andy mientus, kathryn gallagher, and josh castille covered sex by the 1975 and all the videos the cast made on various social media platforms

alt versions in the reblogs!

[feelssogoodinmyarms]

So i saw God’s show, Spring Awakening, and it was the best version I’ve seen live and I cried seven times. Here are my thoughts :)

The set was really cool, it had this tree with christmas lights upstage on the wall. 

wendla came on wearing sheet and wore same sheet later when she entered the hayloft scene

her fairy queen dress was so cute!!!

love all the costumes were fucking awesome

wendla had a maturity that I’ve never seen her played with

the adults were all played by different actors, some of which were teen ensemble in the other scenes

mama reprise was BANGIN

so stompy and angry i knew we were going to have a good time

melchior was played the most sympathetic ive seen

even though he was intellectually smart, emotionally he was in the same place as everyone else and it worked

moritz was deaf and had an actor playing his voice!!

fun fact, i took an acting class where i did a scene with the actor who played moritz’s voice

I had to seduce them in the scene and it was over zoom it was a nightmare

they had moritz’s voice say litota multum lines 

idk why they didn’t do what dwsa did for that scene

they didnt pull out mics to sing which i liked

melchior ran stage right all the sudden during all that’s known and i was like go white boy go!!!

bol was awesome but could have been like 2x explosive

an ensemble guy sang “it’s like just kiss some ass man”??

hanschen’s so extra he fuckin put his foot up on a chair to talk to ernst to say the achillies and patrolcus line

every time frauline knuppledick and herr knockenbruch exited they did this synchronized step turn to leave and it was weirdly funny

the girls laid on their stomachs and kicked their legs during my junk chorus!!!

hanschen masturbated facing away from audience

he was so dramatic and hilarious it was a good time

they gave otto’s my junk solo and thea’s second my junk solo to ensemble girls, one of which was my friend and she killed it

it was a good choice

ernst signed part of his touch me solo

melchior and voice of moritz touched moritz during ernst’s solo it was very beautiful and gay

melchior finger spelled genitalia for moritz

my friend in teen ensemble’s character had a gf in teen ensemble and they were very gay during touch me

wendla was really gay with an ensemble girl during touch me

and there was cool choreography!! bol, my junk, touch me, even mirror blue night and guilty ones had awesome choreography without being too distracting 

obc eat your heart out

melchior was just as confused as wendla in woyb

she had this great balance of being curious and then hesitating with him 

she was also very matter-of-fact about having to be home by five it was cute

wendla and melchior didn’t touch each others hands but like put them up close to each other and moved them 

martha👀👀👀

she was angry and recognizes that she’s being abused and i loved it

she nodded after anna’s line

i’ve never seen martha played like that and it was refreshing

they signed beauty during tdikw

for ilse’s verse, martha was sitting behind her on the bed and ilse layed back on her and two ensemble girls put a sheet over her lap

they had a set peice that martha and ilse knelt on for part of tdikw and the girls spun it like in dwsa

they wrapped sheets kind pf restraint-like around martha and ilse toward the end of it

martha and ilse held hands and sang last part of tdikw to each other

all the boys except hanschen hugged moritz at the end of the i passed scene!!!

moritz’s dad signed “what” “failed” and “thank god my father never lived to see this day” to moritz and it BROKE ME

moritz screamed after he left and my heart shattered

the guys were bopping in a rock way with moritz at the end of attwn

shout out to whoever’s android ringtone went off when moritz pulled the gun out

melchior was crying at the beginning of the hayloft scene

i thought wow this is a young boy who doesn’t understand what he’s feeling

the actor really got it

wendla was trying to cheer him up with her line about running through the rain

and he took it as an invitation!!!! bitch!!!

wendla was confused and hesitant during i believe, it was clear that she didn’t understand what was happening

they held up a sheet in front of wendla and melchior while the father was speaking during guilty ones but i could still see them bro

wendla had no idea what had just happened and it was heartbreaking

melchior looked regretful but he still pulled her in and kissed her at the end of the song

she didn’t really kiss back

ilse signed some of her dialogue and part of blue wind to moritz

she was the only person who signed to him👀

she was wearing the big white shirt but just for dds 

in the next scene at the funeral she was back in her dress from earlier in the show

when moritz signed laundry line he mimed hanging himself from it

moritz yelled for ilse after she left like in dwsa and it was heartbreaking

so was ilse’s line about lying on some trash heap

her voice was incredible

moritz’s voice walked off and moritz looked for him before killing himself😭

left behind BROKE ME

frau gabor and frau bergmann entered with their respective children

martha cut herr stiefel this look when she dropped her flower on the casket 

she looked angry the whole number

my friend came in with her gf and they sat at the front of the stage and held each other

MORITZ’S VOICE WAS AT THE FUNERAL

they glared at herr stiefel and slammed their flower down😭

herr stiefel collapsed onto the casket i died

martha’s mascara was running😭

totally fucked was LIT

melchior had awesome energy

they did that weird choreo jonathan groff did in obc but it worked

melchior yelled YEEEEEES it was so funny

vineyard scene WAS THE BEST IVE SEEN IRL

it was a funny scene because hanschen was so extra, not because two boys were making out

you could see he really cared about ernst

ernst was so horny u could tell he was waiting for hanschen to make a move

they didn’t actually kiss, they did the hand over the mouth thing

both of them went in for that second kiss it was adorable

“and so you should” was not manipulative or creepy at all

hanschen and ernst did some of wendla and melchior’s choreo from woyb AND THEY INTERLACED THEIR FINGERS INSTEAD OF NOT TOUCHING

the end of the song was about them and it wasn’t just ilse delivering the letter

h and e hugged and ran off stage holding hands😭

you could see a shift when wendla realized what she did that got her pregnant and it broke my heart

she had the sheet from earlier wrapped around her during whispering and gathered it up and held it in front of her stomach at the very end of the song

i still find the reformatory scene weird and unnecessary

again, the actor who played melchior really understood the character and the show as a whole

he gave himself a minute to realize what he’d done when he saw wendla’s grave before breaking down

this director really got this show

wendla and moritz were physically restraining melchior from cutting himself in part of those youve known

he would not let go of their hands it was heartbreaking

ilse signed and sang the beginning of purple summer

then moritz showed up and signed with her while they looked at each other and they hugged at the end of the verse😭

ernst (who i’m kind of friends with) and vo moritz and were crying at this point and i was also crying but that made me cry harder

i talked to the actor who played moritz in my very broken asl after the show

it was cringe but he seemed to appreciate it (i said “wow!! you wow!! my name r-h-i-a-n-n-o-n. my asl bad. you wow!!”😭)

great show i cried 7 times and am crushing on like 4 different cast members
