Singing the last song. If you even care. (The Ninth Hour, Epilogue // Hadestown, Road to Hell Reprise)

[lovelandfrogman]

been having thoughts

[cptapathy]

I think more tumblr lesbians should be obsessing about the ninth hour musical

Specifically, "punish you"

Like violent sexual tension, monsters, and the myth of beowulf. What's not to become a rabid beast for

[vampiiric]

god. the beast is slain. you won. but was it worth it. when you looked into his eyes. when you saw his mother scream in agony. when he stared up at the night sky for the last time. the blood on your hands and the blood on your sword. are you a hero or a killer. are we all villains or victims. did either of you have a choice.

I am going to-(remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health)- surrender to the tide, let the water be my guide, I'm a wave on the ocean wide

It's honestly baffling to me that people here don't rave over The Ninth Hour by Kate Douglas and Shayfer James. Like, this musical has everything!! A retelling of an old classic? Tragic timeloops? A tragic, morally gray swordswoman? Amazing fucking music? What's not to love??

[regicidal-defenestration]

One of the most fucked up things the Ninth Hour did was give a character the line "You'll make any lie a lullaby/If it helps you sleep at night" and then later, when that character has been left for dead, give him the song Lullaby, where he expresses the belief that it didn't have to end like this

Musical Theatre meme 2023

↳ [7/10] Shows → The Ninth Hour

The full show can be watched here

[theoakleafpancake]

It’s always “I love you” but never “IBIPBIIGTWFYAIBITBIBIWLFYIBILBIBIWKFYAIBIPBIIGTW”

[patch-of-roses]

Musical recommendation that is fully available and less than 50 minutes!

I just watched The Ninth Hour: The Beowulf Story (like I finished it thirty minutes ago), and I am utterly in awe of it.

The show starts with a coin flip meant to determine the actor who plays Beowulf and the one who plays Grendel. The stage is a church. The main actors have such a commanding presence. It has one of the most homoerotic songs I have ever heard between a man and a woman.

I highly recommend watching this performance. It's fully uploaded on the Met's YouTube page. It's phenomenal.

"We’re all guilty of something For every gift there is sin It depends on where you’re standing, Where you are and where you’ve been. We’re all guilty of something Cutting corners, casting stones We are none of us immortal We are all of us alone.”
