#seesaw musical

[owlpuddle]

What I've been listening to recently

Just to collect up stray thoughts every so often

- Sweet Smell of Success. The music is really fun, but I read the libretto too and it just... lacks narrative tension. Which is very weird for a noir adaptation. Anyway I picked this up because one of my favorite podcasts is Movie: the Musical (now defunct, rip) and they did an episode on it.

- See What I Wanna See. I incidentally picked this up at the same time and it also has some noir flair. LaChiusa's music is so satisfying to me.

- The Fantasticks. Because I really like the piano in it, and I love the overture, and I aspire to get a keyboard piano soon so I'm making a little list of pieces I'd like to learn.

- I Can Get it for You Wholesale. Already posted about it at length, very weird selection for a revival but I appreciate not just cycling through the same dozen shows to get revived.

- Bernarda Alba. More LaChiusa, really good. All his albums I know so far have this quality of sounding very... put-together, like the shows aren't sung through but may as well be. I read the play along with it and it's very good.

- title of show. Good lord my tastes have changed. I wrote recently that I don't like the musical sound or lyrics of contemporary theatre, and this is... exactly that. I do still like a few songs.

- House of Flowers. I tried this a few years ago and it didn't stick; I thought I'd try again now to see if my tastes have evolved. But the music is just sort of generic; sorry Harold Arlen. Anyway I've accidentally thought of it as House of Leaves a couple times, if someone wants to musicalize that instead.

- Dear World. No idea what's happening but I'm having fun! This show was first pitched to me as "Jerry Herman's version of Anyone Can Whistle," which I'm extremely here for.

- Seesaw. I love Cy Coleman, and Dorothy Fields and Neil Simon are also both here, so it's like getting a little more of Sweet Charity. Also reminds me of Promises Promises because of the brass orchestrations. Hilariously the album is just songs angling to become standards, I don't think I'd recognize it as being a musical at all if I didn't already know.

"Did you see Saw the Musical?" Seesaw the musical? Yeah, I have. And it's not Cy Coleman's best but still worth picking up if you're a fan!

“saw the musical” saw what musical? rent? yea i’ve seen rent

BANGTAN SONGFEST, ROUND 1

[tangyangie]

— 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐊𝐈 𝐊 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒!!

we all know that saiki isn't too excited when it comes to romance.

so... how did he land you? he doesn't know either. all he does know is that you're the only person he'd actually accept romantic gestures from.

hugs, kisses, cuddling—don't expect him to jump into it suddenly at the beginning of the relationship. he'll definitely need some time do do these things, if he'd do them at all.

but, once he does sort of settle down, he basically lets you do whatever you want. so what if you're harassing him? he prefers it be you over anyone else.

and maaaybe he's okay with cuddles. a little bit. he gravitates towards you in his sleep.

cafe dates!! or, anything with sweets, at all. take him to hershey park, for all he cares—as long as he gets to buy all some candy.

he watches your TV shows with you. he does his best not to get spoiled, and if he does, then he keeps it from you and acts like he wasn't.

he takes interest in the things you like. the music genres you prefer, your favorite hobbies, and so on. unless it involves bugs, he'll probably give what you like a chance.

he tells you about his powers eventually. he doesn't really know how he expects you to act, but he definitely doesn't expect you to just shrug it off. which is exactly what you did.

"you're a what, now?"

"a psychic."

"oh. you're serious?"

"...yes."

"oh.. cool."

please buy him coffee jelly. one second of seeing him in pure bliss is filled with enough joy to last you ten lifetimes.

one time, you tried feeding him coffee jelly while making an airplane "brrrr" sound. you did the whole, "here comes the airplane!!" as you'd spin around and twist the spoon until it came to a rest in saiki's mouth.

"and... that was supposed to taste better, how?"

"it just does. i don't make the rules."

you will playfully flirt with him all the time. doesn't mean he'd respond, but he tolerates it.

from time to time, he may humor you with a quick remark to counter your statements. but, it's always out of the blue, and always will leave your face feeling like an oven with your jaw dropped.

if you think he's one to do it in public, though, then you're crazy. pda is a big no-no.

you got him a pair of sunglasses once, and he stared dead in your eyes (with his glasses on). he asked you why you thought he needed it, and you responded that they were for when his green glasses got tired.

he blinked slowly, shook his head, and ruffled your hair. (it was an excuse to wear his glasses for a bit. don't think he wouldn't read your mind. not like he can help it, anyways.)

if you're cold in public, he stands near you and uses his pyrokinesis to warm you up, and may hold your hand. in secret only. if you tell anyone, his hand in yours is as good as gone.

he doesn't really get jealous. he's fine with being alone, but if you ask him to come along, he most likely won't say no. but if teruhashi is coming along, forget about it.

you play with his hands. like... i can just imagine gently grabbing his fingers and bending them like a seesaw or a bicycle.

he makes you come with him to take care of yuuta, hoping you don't have a resemblance to anyone else in cyborg cyder man no.2, or else yuuta will be all over you.

notes: okay guys 5 finals to go 🫡

[vivacissimx]

A Game of Thrones' first chapter being Bran I and last chapter being Daenerys X, and those two chapters being in such strong conversation with each other will forever be what sells me on ASOIAF as a series. The set-up is just it. Consider: AGOT begins with an execution, of Gared the Night's Watch deserter who witnessed The Horrors. It's presented as a part of Bran's coming of age, this complex situation which he's now old enough to grapple with. Gared is sympathetic to us as readers (he witnessed The Horrors!!!) but his life is forfeit. He dies by Ice. After, Jon and Robb argue over whether he died brave or afraid. Ned says it doesn't matter—death is necessary, it is part of a larger Cycle which Bran will one day be a part of though he shouldn't enjoy it any more than he denies it... what makes it necessary though? What is this cycle—because if it's only about justice, well, Gared's execution doesn't feel just. Now we have our first true question of the book.

Daenerys X follows a similar format with a sympathetic Mirri Maz Duur having forfeited her life after killing an unborn Rhaego. Why? Well she also witnessed The Horrors. This time in the shape of a Dothraki invasion & the Stallion Who Mounts The World prophecy. She is set to die by burning (ice and fire babyyy). In the moments before, she appears defiant... but when Daenerys says it does not matter how she dies, then fear creeps into MMD's eyes. Again the interplay between bravery & fear. Again the seesaw, the balance. So now we can return to the first question. Why is this necessary?

Because only death can pay for life... and because you should strive for life. There should be hope and yearning for birth, for rebirth. Gared & Mirri have both given up on their own lives due to their fear while Bran asks, and Daenerys answers, that yes, you must reach for life even when life as you know it has ended. It's a coming of age for Daenerys too. When the dragons burst forth their newborn cries are called music—it's a song!! A Song of Ice and Fire. So yeah. Five fucking stars.
