If there are a million Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them. If there are only two Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, I am one of them (Eva Noblezada is the other). If there are no Reeve Carney as Orpheus fans in the world, Eva Noblezada and I are dead 😔
#hadestown#hadestown obc#reeve carney#eva noblezada#seriously im sick and fucking tired of the reeve carney hate on tiktok#'jordan fisher is the only orpheus that matters' 'jordan fisher shouldve originated orpheus on bway'#'they should replace the obc recording with jordan fisher' 'jordan fisher was the best thing to ever happen to hadestown'#shut up!!!!!!!#i adore jordan fisher but you are missing the point of theatre and hating on reeve in the process!!!!!#you can have a favorite but that doesnt mean the actors who are not your favorite shouldnt exist in that role!!!!!#but also your favorite is wrong!!!!#reeve carney brought more autistic swag to orpheus than anyone could possibly recreate!!!#he was naive he was soft spoken he was unaware of social expectations!!!!!#jordan fisher has such a raw powerful voice and thats not what orpheus needs!!!!! hes just a lil guy!!!!#hes just a lil guy who accidentally had a battle of the bands with the devil and won#because he has nothing in his brain except sing and love his girlfriend!!!!!#i love jordan fisher in everything ive ever seen him in and i adore his voice but please stop putting other actors down#im not a huge fan of the way jonjon briones plays hermes but im not out here talking shit about him!!@#or saying he should never have had the part in the first place#(btw i was joking about the 'your favorite is wrong' thing because - again - literally defeats the point of theatre)#please find ways to say that jordan fisher is your favorite without putting reeve carney down#and also please give reeve carney a chance and dont dismiss him just because he is less conventionally attractive#and hip in popular media and on social media#please give the role a chance for what it is and not just which actor you already like#i was pissed when i first found out they were taking damon daunno out for the obc and adding reeve#the only thing id ever seen or heard him in at that point was the live action rocky horror with laverne cox#and he was fucking riffraff#i was mad!!! i didnt think he could do it!!! but i love the show and i gave him a chance and now hes my all time favorite#between both touring casts ive seen and the pre bway cast recording and jordan fisher#just please stop being mean and give him a chance

JAY GOT HIS MOM TO VOICE ODYSSEUS’S MOM I’M SOBBING
god listening to the underworld hurts so much more after learning that “fun” fact (genuinely it’s so sweet oh my god but i’m using humor to cope)
“i took too long. I ventured too far while you were waiting”
“I’ll always love you”
#i guess beautiful voices run in the family#yes i also audibly gasped when polites showed up#epic#epic the musical#epic underworld saga#epic odysseus#epic odyssey#epic spoilers#epic the musical spoilers#it is an actual crime this saga is only three songs#i’m already on my fourth listen (the first two were the watch party)#correction: now on my fifth i finished the fourth listen while making this post#don’t even get me started on no longer you or the powerful orchestrals at the end with tiresias’s haunting vocals#or jay’s acting oh my god the anger and hurt and betrayal throughout the entire saga#tHE GROWLS I LIVE FOR WHEN ACTORS GROWL IN THEIR SINGING ITS SO GOOD#but also the quieter peaceful moments of love when he sees polites and his mom again#congrats on completing act one jorge!!#i am in your walls!!

The line reads on these, especially the last one, sounded a lot like Zuko in the show proper.
#the actors are doing a bang up job on this show#yes I'm singing it's praises#this scene was great#also Zuko just looks very much like Zuko should??#props to the costume designers & such & the actors too#oh god do not look at the comments on 🏴☠️ sites#anyway really enjoying it so far aside from some stuff here & there#the focus on stuff being centered was a bit weird especially in the first few eps but maybe I've grown used to it?? idk I'm on 4 as my next#the youtube short & tiktokification of some of the framing was very jarring at first thou#dallas james liu you're doing amazing capturing his character!#mine#op#natla#avatar live action#avatar the last airbender#atla#avatar#netflix avatar

No I mean the Avatar live action isn’t overall GOOD but it’s got its moments and it’s not good in interesting ways and I will certainly watch all 8 episodes
Plus I mean the Zuko and Iroh stuff is wonderful and on some level that’s kinda all I need
#TALES OF BA SING SE MUSICAL THEME REPRISE#GOT ME FUCKED UP!!!#the action and overall design is gorgeous#some of the actors are so good#and some are so very bad#how they’ve chopped up combined rearranged the events of the show is interesting#some of that works better than others#the script really is#phew#I never want to hear the word responsibility again#but alas it’s the only one this writers room knows

idk with all the discourse about who's allowed to sing and who not, I feel like a lot of people forgot why humans sing in the first place, where singing comes from culturally...
Especially the Thai culture and fandom reminded me of that you do not have to be a perfect singer to have fun with each other. Singing is originally a fun or emotional activity to share vibes with your group, village, tell stories. (side note: the pagan folk genre is basically also a good witness of the past in that regard)
The whole Thai actor fan meeting and concert habit seems to be a very Thai culture thing just mixed with pop culture and capitalism.
Observing the Thai folks I see at my local yearly Thai festival, they are very similar. They still party hard even if the singer is not that good. They constantly go to the stage to slip the singers some money or gifts, request them to sing certain songs.
#music#thai culture#bl drama#thai actors#it doesn't always have to be an unforgiving competition ya know#let them have fun#you can just not listen or not show up don't click on it if it's not your thing#that too is a way of showing your disinterest instead of relying on bullying and hurting them intentionally#someone in some rude comment said they are just that mean because if that actor was in a casting show they would lose that hard..#ok but they aren't in a casting show and you aren't asked to be a TV show judge???#that said I am still not a fan of characters singing within the drama setting unless it's relevant for the plot#but outside of it ? i don't mind I either have fun with them having fun or I skip it. literally not that hard#like I really love when they just party and sing for fun during live streams#many of the fan event concert bits are neat too imo#also fan events is how they finance actors and dramas since the dramas themselves don't give that much money#(we get many of them free to watch online!)

Warlin Door having access to different worlds is already so good and compelling as a character, but it’s even more perfect that he’s presented as a TV host every time we see him, both with Night Springs and the talk show. He’s across different channels at all times, able to narrate and interact within the medium, but as far as we know, unable to change and mold the world around him like Alan and other artists in the dark place. It’s the perfect persona for him to have (and he better have a big role in that Night Springs DLC!)
#saga how are you and everyone in your family so cool#alan wake 2#this is the Most Obvious post ever but i needed an excuse to talk about Mr Door more#his presence in the game was INCREDIBLE for how little he showed up#David hardwood is a phenomenal actor. the joy when he’s dancing and singing. then his talk to Alan in the Masks section. captivating#slightly off topic but it IS cool seeing how characters present themselves in the second game#especially with the live action segments#Alice with her documentary and photos. Zane with his movies. Door with his tv shows#and all of them putting up some mysterious persona/mask (until that end scene w Alice at least)#technically door could have other abilities and influence i know nothing about. I haven’t played quantum break either#so I could end up changing my thoughts#warlin door#mr door#ALSO also again. ahtis discussion w Alan about Door. Implying Alan could put him in his story but rn he isn’t#lots to think about

tfw you go see a musical comedy and it makes you cry
#noopa rambles#the show was built around my ave band's music#I almost teared up twice before#and then this frigging. kid actor starts to sing rakkaus on lumivalkoinen#while sitting alone at the edge of the stage in the rain as everyone else has left her behind#all somber and sad singing abt how love only lasts for a fleeting moment#and I'm just 😭😭#the character did get a happy ending and then I was emotional abt that too#but my god how dare this maybe 12-year-old make me cry!!!#I certainly wasn't the only one tearing up#and the rainy weather (was an outdoor play) fit the moment so well#it must feel great for a fledgling actor to make your audience Feel(tm)#the song she sang is one of the band's biggest hits too#like. I'd place it in top 3 in terms of significance for the band#not my personal fave but a very good song nonetheless#getting to sing that sort of a part in a play when you're a kid must be so cool

i don’t know where to find other people who were disappointed in Geekish Celibacy Advocates Gotta Go to commiserate with. don’t wanna clog up the main tag with negativity because people just browsing abojt a musical they like don’t need that. but holy shit was this show a letdown for me and i cant find one other comment or review anywhere that acknowledges Any flaws :(
edit: censored the name of the show and didn’t tag @ all w/ the show’s name, but this’ll still pop up in searches for starkid and the effort required to edit tags on tumblr is INSANE, so i’m adding Starkid Negativity to the front of the post for blocking purposes of anypony doesn’t want this in their search!
#starkid negativity#letdown for a lot of reasons but it’s still probably just a 5/10#it isn’t. horrible. i just do not get in Any Way the praise being lathered on it#especially the music#it wasn’t even that funny :(#i’ve never felt like one or two actors have ever CARRIED a starkid show alone before#max and chastity being the ones who carried hardcore here#they were funny and well written and even got most of the Not Bad songs in the show. good for them#but a lot of what they’re surrounded by is just :( underwhelming#i didn’t expect the Story here to be AMAZING WOWWWW bc that’s rarely what i watch starkid for. twisted knocked it out of the park but#for the most part starkid shows aren’t drawing me in with their Plots#the comedy and fun music and nice acting is the appeal for me and this show only really had 1 of the 3 in spades :(#that’s the acting. the acting was good nobody phoned it they were all clearly acting their asses off and enjoying themselves. that’s great#would’ve been greater if they jokes they were delivering and the songs they were singing were#also good#i’ve been a starkid fan since before the third very potter musical dropped*#i usually love starkid’s productions. they were a very good portion of my childhood and adolescence#trying to keep my criticisms here focused on Being Subjective. not saying any of my thoughts here are objective facts abt the show#using a lot of I Feel and To Me statements here. if this does show up in the N//P//M//D tags i’m not saying anybody is dumb or wrong#for liking it. if they did like it#but For Me this show really was a letdown compared to the rest of the starkid catalogue#starkid is allowed to change and evolve. of course it is and it deserves to. but id hope that a Starkid Spirit remains as a througline for#their entire catalogue#yknow. the quintessential essence of Star Kid. and it didn’t feel very present here :(#i have removed the title of the show from the post and it isn’t in the tags. but i’m gonna add a tag for blacklisting just in case

guess who finally started only friends!!!! the way I have been liking posts about it since even before it aired but never actually had the guts to go watch it but the TIME WAS RIGHT yesterday and I watched it and why is it... so flipping good?
#i was scared at first cause everyone said it was jusf full of... a lot of physical intimacy but it is so much more than that#ive only just finished episode 3 but its so gripping because of how invested the actors are in their roles and embodying their characters#like RAY OH MY GOD MARRY ME??? nah jk khao is just 😘😍🥰#and ofc my bby first - he plays sand so well even if im not the biggest fan of the singing 😭 i love HIM too much to care#only friends the series#ive always been wary of top cause force is a liverpool fan and if ive learnt anything from my 18 years on this planet its dont trust them#immediately at least#some of my best friends are liverpool fans but this would be my first show of his and so far so... hmmmm#one major thing which put me off even starting was that i saw a clip saying boston and gap aka neo and drake hook up episode 1#and i CANNOT watch that after watching cause youre my boy like these are my babies but it was fine in the end because i just skipped it 🤣#ive come to realise i could literally not care less about sex so i just skip all those scenes because the show has more depth than that#anyways i will keep watching and hopefully catch up before next saturday!!!

I’m doing this acting camp that’s High School Musical (not my thing, I know, but there’s not exactly a lot of choices where I live) and I’m just so upset because I HATE HATE try outs that give you a song to sing and give you 5-10 minutes to memorize it before you go up and sing it in front of everyone. Because of neurodivergency, I can’t fucking do that. I need time to prepare and be told what I’ll be doing ahead of time, like they ACTUALLY do in try outs in the acting world. So of course I did horribly and forgot all the words and my pitch was off and the 10 year old children did better than me. Then of course the dancing portion of the audition I sucked at because I can’t fucking dance for the life of me, but I KNOW I did good on the acting portion because I CAN act!! That’s why I do this!! I had so much fun doing the acting portion!! But I don’t think they gave me enough of a chance because of how bad the other portions went and now I’m literally stuck with a character that has 3 lines (Which is a huge blow for someone who played Dorothy Gale in the 5th grade) while little kids have bigger parts than I do.
#it just makes me think sometimes that im not cut out to be an actor#but i know i AM its just that musicals suck ass because i cant dance for the life of me and i have to prepare for the singing bits#it just makes me feel the way all those adults look at me when they ask me what i want to do with my life and i tell them an actress#(along with being an author and activist)#and they just look at me like im some immature & naive kid who doesnt know how the world works#and that i have some impossible unattainable dream#and part of that is true#im 16#ive never worked a day in my life#i dont pay taxes#i dont drive#i cant do shit on my own#but i have not given up on this dream that ive had since i was 7 years old#and its NOT impossible'#i want to show the people who doubt me#but i dont know how when i cant even fucking get a bigger part than a bunch of kids#idk it just sucks#and i feel like i suck#like my friend literally gets to be gabriella and i did just as well at the acting portion as she did#i just wish i didnt fucking have adhd because then i would be better coordinated and my processing speed wouldnt be shit#nothing would stop me#i might delete this later#personal#acting

do i have any right to call buffy a cringe show when im currently browsing old heroes sylar/peter fanfiction?
yeah
#ohh you talk about a cringe show? the writers strike of 2007 to 2008 fucked heroes HARD#season 1 is a good and engaging television. seasons 2 to 4 are a trainwreck in slow motion#and honestly the only reason people kept watching was because of sylar. and the show was paaainfully aware of that#an exercise in beating a horse to death#and i watched. i watched those terrible seasons. because zachary quinto causes pussy derangement#and im not ashamed. have you fucking seen that man#anyways. season 1 is good#at least as far as i remember. the actors are great. and the editing/score is very good#iits very like. gripping#i think season 1 of heroes was the Peak of that genre of television that happened when LOST was popular#that genre being We Wanna Be LOST So Baaaaad#i saw heroes before lost btw#but looking back and having rewatched heroes since. it's so got that lost copycat vibe#in a good way! during season one!#large ensemble cast of fucked up people#and theres mysteries and intrigue and everybody is connected. it's great#also heroes does something i consider fucking inspired: when they change the scene to somebody else#theres text at the bottom telling the audience which character(s) we're focusing on (and their location)#its their version of an establishing shot and i really like it. it's simple but effective. and helps one keep track of everybody#heroes turned out bad but to anybody who has seen it: when you start the show and you hear that weird wail singing#mohinder's narration all like ''where do we come from?'' over shots of several of our characters#don't tell me you don't feel chills

because I ran out of space in the tags I’m also adding here. PUPPET SHOWS!! I loved seeing them as a kid and now getting drunk/high/tripping while seeing them is so fun. God I could go on forever about all the shows I’ve seen. Def more than 25 tho
*by live theatre i mean plays, musicals, operas, ballets, concert versions of musicals, staged readings, & things of that nature. EDIT: YES this includes amateur, local, kids, high school, & community theatre. almost every show i've seen has been local
if you want, list the names of the shows you've seen in the tags!
#I think 25? maybe more maybe less#i live in nyc so it’s not too hard#my aunt would take me to see a show for either my birthday or Christmas#and then I was a theater kid so for our class we would go see shows for trips#technically 25.5 bc there was this one man play that got closed halfway through cause the actor was sick#but they ATE in the first half#like they were very sick but they still performed till they couldn’t#like you could not tell they were sick at all#also in my elementary school the 4th graders would perform they’re own play#HOWEVER THEY STOPPED THE YEAR BEFPRE I WAS GONNA BE A FOURTH GRADER#like#i was so disappointed#since pre-k I had been hyping up the ‘opera’#idk why they called it an opera when no one was singing#these are a lot of tags#idk if there’s enough space for me to add all the shows I’ve seen#I’ll put my favorites that I’ve seen#be more chill#shucked#prima facie#BRO PRIMA FACIE WAS SO GOOD#OHHH OHH#my moms friend did Hansel and Gretel and it gave me nightmares#that one is very memorable#the lion king#first show I saw that I actually wanted to see#a long days journey into night#peter pan goes wrong#there’s more#but that’s all I can do now and we’ve done it. we’ve reached the 30 tags
