To say she's a Diva in the most literal terms is an understatement, but in this case, this seems like the most innocuous thing Patti LuPone has said all week.
#the show is objectively extremely loud and it shares space with another theatre housing a quiet and intimate play#making sure sound design does not affect another show's performance is a perfectly reasonable thing to do#asking the show to do so in a private request is not unreasonable#if the show had refused that too would not have been unreasonable#sending flowers to thank the stage managers for being considerate of the show next door is a gesture of goodwill#the booth already has to deal with the fucking pedicabs blasting that fucking song along the northern wall along the right orchestra

Kathleen Ní Houlihan | Ireland Personified and Irish Nationalism
Kathleen Ni Houlihan (Caitlín Ní Uallacháin, literally, “Kathleen, daughter of Houlihan”) is a mythical symbol and emblem of Irish nationalism found in literature and art, sometimes representing Ireland as a personified woman. The figure of Kathleen Ni Houlihan has also been invoked in nationalist Irish politics. Kathleen Ni Houlihan is sometimes spelled as Cathleen Ni Houlihan, and the figure is…

#i feel like. um. tours go where the audience is#and uh. perhaps. just a theory. two english speaking youtubers are going to have a larger audience#in western counties and especially english speaking countries#they even only have two shows in the very south of canada#wait dam ni did not know canada's population is TEN times less than the USA. that explains a lot#anyways i was just getting to the point that they definitely have dedicated fans all over the world who would love to see them#and they know that#but they have to consider whether they're going to have 50 people in a theatre or 500#and if they're going to be forcing those 50 people to travel great distances or 500 ppl who live right next door y'know#to be quite frank despite the rennassiance i'd say they're still less popular than at the II era#damn WAD had SIX canada shows something's up with that.... maybe it's just bigger venues#seems like WAD has a lot more shows in a lot of places but i did compare the venues in my area and the TIT one is 2.5x bigger#anyways yeah my own example. i'm not sure if i'll go. even tho i'm watchign them again i'm not a Fan like i was back in 2020#damn THREE shows in florida that's insane. why#but yeah even looking at the USA map there's nothing in the northern midwest#i'm sure there are at least 10 phannise in montana who are scrimping and scraping to travel to washington right now#but the fact of the matter is the northern midwest is the most sparsly populated area of the USA#so it just won't pay off to travel there - even tho the % phannie is probably the same as the rest of the USA#the population is low enough multiply by that % = too few people!#and on the europe map we can see they're only going to northern europe#they're not even going to france or spain#now i'm not an expert in europe but i am under the impression that northern europeans speak more english#so more of them will be fans of english-lanuage dnp#and tbh i think the reason they haven't said anything is um. that they expected people to know this.#dnp#also um. ppl talking about this in context of latin america and asia um there's another big continent missing: africa.#but nobody seems concerned about that one because nobody expects there to be dnp fans there#so like people must understand this to some degree#also if dan lost money on WAD it makes sense they'd be more conservative booking venues#it's entirely reasonable to be heartbroken ofc just saying this bc i saw ppl say The Only Possible Reason is racism

The Northern Town Percy Jackson Peter Johnson Musical: (another) Appreciation Post
Quick Intro: So I made a previous appreciation post (short and sweet) about the official TLT musical here, a musical I would also greatly recommend to any Percy Jackson fan stumbling on this post who hasn't seen / heard of that musical, but that is not truly relevant to this post. I've decided that in the spirit of appreciating the adaptational musicals more in this era of us finally having a TV show, here's a post dedicated to a musical many of you have probably never heard of...
youtube
Calling all Percy Jackson and musical fans! Calling all Percy Jackson and musical fans!
If you haven't seen them, take this to be a recommendation post appealing you to check out the Northern Town Percy Jackson parodies!
To start on vibes: if you have seen or heard of Starkid's A Very Potter Musical (AVPM), the humour is quite similar I feel but a bit more Gen-Z-esque. This musical has managed to coalesce the entire plot of Percy Jackson and the Olympians into 1.5-2 hours in a way that greatly pays homage to the books and wraps everything up in a cohesive yet bonkers way (very similar to the way AVPM managed to form a cohesive yet bonkers Harry Potter plot combining the elements/events of all 7 books). You can tell from the watch that the people writing an acting in this are Percy Jackson fans, and have read the entire series again looking for ways to reference and and joke about the series in ways that convey their enjoyment of the original series too.
It has different vibes to the official TLT musical, but somehow is just as camp? The 1st version (linked above) is a jukebox musical filmed in essentially a patch of grass with a terrace, including some classic songs: for a start, it opens with I'm Just a Kid by Simple Plan (which is pretty PJO core honestly, and really echoes that "borderline-emo borderline-teenage borderline-angst" I associate with my first readings of Percy Jackson-), and has Poker Face by Lady Gaga in the Lotus Casino scene (I think that alone should be a convincing point). The 2nd version (linked below) is updated with snazzy outfits, 2 videos for the 2 acts and an original score with some banger songs (I would recommend Achilles Heel and Nobody's Sidekick as personal favourites- particularly Achilles Heel, which I believe has some really well done lyricism and composition).
The running jokes in this show are killer, with bits like Percy repeating his age constantly ("I'M TWELVE") and Luke's age increases pretty much every time it's mentioned. If you had to watch 1, I would say watch the 2nd version just so you can appreciate the original score more, which likely reflects theythe emotions are trying to portray much better as the lyrics apply specifically to this production. For instance, there's a song called 'Backbiter' sung by Luke, the title referring to the name of Luke's sword that I find makes a very interesting comparison. You also get better audio and lighting, aspects like that that make it better to watch on youtube, as well as more running jokes. However I'm always one to appreciate the silly 2000s energy of the initial version, and it feels like something you'd do for fun with your friends (which it was for them, according to this article!). If you appreciate that energy too, then here's your recommendation to watch that version right now.
All in all, I cannot stress how fun this musical parody is, even though it seems pretty underrated- at the very least, not many people are out here referencing it on this site. I believe this deserves to be recognised in the Percy Jackson fan consciousness for its ingenuity and just general fun nature. This post probably won't reach a lot of people, but I'd like to think it reaches enough people that more of us can appreciate this adaptation online. I've seen a lot of people say in the lead up to and the release of the TV series: "FINALLY we have a good adaptation". While I am as stoked as everyone else about there being a well-made show as well now, I'd also like to remember and appreciate the adaptations that came before and left a mark on this world as good adaptations of Percy Jackson in a time where the movies were all that most people knew about, and all we thought we'd ever get in way of adaptations. Between the TLT musical and the Northern Town parodies, I believe these musicals gave us the adaptations that the unhinged PJO gang and their just-as-unhinged fan following deserve.

#Youtube#I think I've said what I needed to say on why this goes hard but if I have more ofc I'll come back here and add to this#major props to northern town parodies for pulling this off AND putting the whole thing on youtube for free TWICE#it's always nice to have an official recording uploaded on youtube itself given some of us wouldn't be able to watch it at all otherwise#major thank you to all of the people who were involved in this production (even though they'll likely never see this)#OH YEAH also they ARE on tumblr even though I'm not sure how active they currently are on there so find them if you like!#they have character posters on there and stuff from the original version of the musical#it really was so fun to watch#northern town parodies#ntp#pjo#pjo tv show#percy jackson#peter johnson#riordanverse#percy jackson parody#musicals#musical theatre#appreciation post#posts originating from my brain

OHHH so THAT's why my high school USAmerican english teacher asked me if I'd ever been to New Zealand!
The best thing about new zealand english is we get to pick and choose what we like from american english and british english.
The bad thing is that sometimes we choose wrong.
Like. Americans have fries and chips vs brits have chips and crisps. Both valid.
Here? We have chips and chips.
Youd think it'd be fine and that you can figure out which one a person is talking about from context but trust me a good percentage of the time you cannot. And often the person will try to differentiate them by clarifying they meant "Potato chips" only for them to realise a second later that both chips are made from potatoes
#for context#I lived in USA for like 2 years in elementary school#so my pronunciation and basic vocabulary are very USAmerican (specifically northern californian)#but after returning I had a HUGE Agatha Christie phase (still do)#so most of my more complex 'grown-up' vocabulary are britishisms#BUT I'll pronounce all that with an aforementioned NorCal accent + a bit of pronunciation deterioration from not having to use it a lot#same when spelling#it's 'realization' and 'fulfill'#but also 'theatre' and 'dialogue'#sorry the alternative spellings are just wrong you guys are both wrong okay?#mmari rambles#amazing tales#linguistics

Identidades Festival celebra 10 años de creación y programación artística en el Desierto de Atacama
La iniciativa cultural presentada por Escondida | BHP y la Corporación Cultural La Huella Teatro se desarrollará entre el 5 y el 12 de octubre en Antofagasta, San Pedro de Atacama y Baquedano.
La comunidad puede asistir de manera gratuita, revisando la programación en www.carpaidentidades.clDel 5 al 12 de octubre Identidades Festival, celebra su décima edición en el Desierto de Atacama, con una programación que incluye espectáculos de artes escénicas provenientes de Rapa Nui, Brasil, Perú, Antofagasta y Santiago.La curaduría 2024 del encuentro internacional de culturas del mundo, presentado por Escondida | BHP, se ha enfocado en convocar propuestas interdisciplinares que inviten a celebrar estos 10 años de quehacer cultural, y con ello, el crecimiento robusto de espacios creativos que promueven el intercambio y posibilitan nuevos diálogos entre culturas diversas, a través de los lenguajes que ofrecen las artes vivas.
La programación compuesta por ocho espectáculos, tres seminarios, cinco trueques y un conversatorio se expandirán por Antofagasta, San Pedro de Atacama, y por primera vez, en Baquedano, reafirmando el interés original de la organización: contribuir a la descentralización artística en la zona Norte de Chile.
Todas las actividades programadas en Identidades Festival son gratuitas y el ingreso a los espectáculos es por orden de llegada.
“Este es un momento de doble celebración. Con La Huella Teatro cumplimos 20 años de trayectoria y con Identidades Festival, 10 años. Valoramos que una compañía de teatro, desde un territorio como el Norte Grande, haya generado un festival de artes escénicas que ha logrado posicionarse, a nivel nacional e internacionalpor su sello curatorial y por su encuentro con las comunidades del territorio donde se emplaza. Creemos profundamente en la capacidad de gestar proyectos situados que marcan la diferencia, por eso seguiremos adelante muchos años más”, comenta Alejandra Rojas, directora de Identidades Festival.
En tanto, Cristóbal Marshall, vicepresidente de Asuntos Corporativos de Escondida | BHP indicó que, “en estos 10 años, más de 100 mil personas han sido parte de Identidades, siendo un gran ejemplo en la generación de audiencias y en la descentralización de la cultura. Agradecemos a La Corporación La Huella Teatro por todo el tiempo que hemos trabajado juntos para seguir aportando a la construcción de la identidad local”.
El principal escenario que acoge a Identidades Festival es el Anfiteatro de las Ruinas de Huanchaca, ubicado a los pies de una otrora fundición de metales en Antofagasta, actualmente considerada Monumento Histórico Nacional. Mientras que otras funciones se localizarán en espacios públicos como bordes costeros, plazas de poblaciones, gimnasios y barrios transitorios.
Entre los espectáculos de esta Edición Aniversario hay propuestas familiares y también para mayores de 14 años, mientras que los seminarios están enfocados especialmente en la formación y especialización de trabajadores de las artes.
: “Me parece increíble que ya han pasado 10 años desde el primer Identidades Festival, por el año 2014 y en verdad es un orgullo como Seremi de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio, el poder hoy día respaldar este tremendo trabajo. Es un esfuerzo muy grande el que hace Alejandra
El Seremi de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio, Claudio Lagos Gutiérrez, destacó esta nueva versión de Identidades Festival y su trayectoria. Rojas y el equipo de la Huella Teatro, pero principalmente, es un orgullo tener un festival de la envergadura de Identidades, aquí en la región de Antofagasta”.
