Private Lives

Does anyone have a copy of the Private Lives recently done at Donmar Warehouse this spring? Would sell my soul to see it! Help! Thanks!

Who wants to be rewarded with a bunch of slime tutorials <3 (you know you do, if you have requests, put them in my asks but tomorrow I’m gonna post like a million)

I think the funniest thing about watching musical bootlegs is that you can often tell who the recorder’s favourite character is, because they won’t. stop. zooming. in. on. them. no matter WHAT else is currently happening.

hello! I've requested from you before because I'm just obsessed with the way you write for Erik... so I'm on my knees as I come to you with another ask...

what do you think would happen if Erik had a partner who (usually pretty level-headed and composed) randomly asks him about his past during a calm evening together, only to start crying when he's done explaining? how would he react if she says that she wishes she could have been there to at least make him feel even a little less alone?

maybe he's just composing as usual when she asks and he's completely taken aback by her reaction because no one has every seemed to care about him so deeply?

I adore his character and he just needs some love.... <3 thank you for all your beautiful writing, they always make my day!!

erik destler (poto) x reader

warnings/tags- insecure erik, comfort on both sides, fluff with a pinch of angst, this one is a little more based on movie!erik (gerard butler)

word count- 718 words

The candlelight flickered over the aged sheet music, casting restless shadows across the grand piano where Erik sat, his gloved hands poised over the keys. The night was quiet, save for the distant lapping of the lake against the shore of his underground world. You sat nearby, curled in a chair, watching him in comfortable silence.

It had been an evening of rare peace—no operatic disasters, no intrusive thoughts of the outside world. Just the two of you, wrapped in the stillness. It was in that moment of quietude that the thought slipped past your lips before you could stop it.

“Erik,” you murmured, voice soft but certain, “will you tell me about your past?”

His fingers stilled over the ivory keys. He did not look at you, but you saw the tension creep into his shoulders, the way his breath slowed and measured itself before he spoke.

“There is nothing in it worth telling,” he replied at first, though you both knew that wasn’t true. You didn’t push. You never did. That was why, after a pause, he began to speak.

And so, he told you.

Of a mother who never looked at him, whose rejection was colder than the iron bars of the cage he was forced into. Of the jeers and the cruel hands of men who saw him as less than human, as something to be displayed. Of loneliness so deep and vast that even his music, the only thing he had, could not fill it.

He spoke evenly, factually, as if reciting a dull history lesson rather than his own suffering.

You had expected the pain in his words, the darkness of it. What you had not expected was the way it hit you.

Your throat closed. Your chest ached. And before you could stop yourself, hot tears welled in your eyes and spilled over.

Erik had turned back to the piano, but when the first quiet sob broke from your throat, his head snapped up. His golden eyes, sharp and piercing even in the dim candlelight, widened in alarm. He had seen many reactions to his story—fear, disgust, cold pity—but never this.

Never tears shed for him.

He rose from the bench as if unsure what to do, hands twitching at his sides. “Why are you crying?” he asked, his voice thin, bewildered. “Did I say something to upset you?”

You shook your head, wiping at your face. “No, I just—” Your voice broke, and you took a shaky breath. “I wish I had been there. I wish I could have done something. Just—anything to make you feel even a little less alone.”

His breath hitched, as if you had struck him with your words. He took a step back, his entire body rigid with something unnameable. No one had ever said such a thing to him. No one had ever wished to be by his side in his suffering.

“I—” he started, but his voice failed him. He pressed a hand over his mouth, as if physically stopping whatever might come next. His other hand clutched at his coat, fingers curling into the fabric as if to ground himself. “You…you are crying for me?”

You nodded, sniffling. “Of course, I am.”

The silence stretched between you, thick with something fragile. Erik did not move for a long time, but his eyes never left you. There was something wounded in them, something raw, as though your sorrow had stripped away his carefully constructed walls.

And then, hesitantly—so hesitantly—he moved closer, sinking to his knees before you. A gloved hand reached out, hovering near your cheek, uncertain. You leaned into it, and he exhaled shakily, as if that small gesture had undone him completely.

“I do not deserve your tears,” he whispered. “No one ever has.”

“That’s not for you to decide.” You reached up, placing your hand over his. “You are not alone anymore, Erik.”

He stared at you, wide-eyed and trembling, as if he couldn’t quite believe what he was hearing. And then, with an exhale that sounded dangerously close to a sob, he pressed his forehead against your lap, his fingers curling into your dress.

You ran your fingers through his hair, soft and slow. He let you.

For the first time in his life, Erik did not feel alone.

Have theatres gotten better at catching and restricting filming or something?? Because there's been a real lack of recent bootlegs😭 Some like it hot? West end hadestown? Current broadway hadestown? Darren criss little shop? WE USED TO BE A COMMUNITY

[johnnyvalance]

is this a safe space to say that i think the vibe around bootlegging and taking audios in this fandom is kind of concerning

i think the obsession a lot of people have with seeing every possible debut, understudy, etc is a bit unhealthy!

we won’t be there for every show and we won’t experience everything, and that’s okay!

i honestly just think the obsession with filming actors (who are people) without their consent and acting entitled to seeing everyone’s performance is just a bit disrespectful to the actors? most broadway actors are uncomfortable with being filmed and just i don’t know it feels a bit disconcerting

NO LONGER TRADING THE SLIME TUT! (on hiatus internet wise)

no longer trading sorry gang

old post: [guess who has it ;)

that's right, me.

I have papermill AND broadway! broadway is the opening night slime tut, idk papermill.

Here's a link to an absolute rose from the broadway slime tut! an absolute rose

willing to trade!! won't trade for audios btw, only videos!! you can dm or js reply with offers :00

I WILL trade for other versions of the great gatsby slime tutorial (like on different dates) bc with multiple versions I can compare and see them do different things (<- i'm a weirdo, nobody else would want to trade for the exact same musical i bet)

i'd love musicals with eva noblezada, jeremy jordan, & sam pauly in them (like jeremy in newsies or eva in hadestown, or sam in rent)! but literally offer me whatever and we'll see what happens]

[asthedeathoflight]

My toxic trait as a theater person is that no matter what a play or musical is about im always like you could put Deaf people in this
