#this choreo is EXQUISITE

[smimon]

But have you seen Squidward's big delulu number from the SpongeBob Broadway musical?

[obscurecurse]

idk if you can convince me that this scene wasn't product placement/brought to you by the white tee industry like hanes or fruit of the loom or some shit. every single time i see Kim in this outfit i'm like, "a crisp white tee truly looks good on everyone. i need to re-up."

[jemmo]

ok i just finished binging opla and as someone who is like the most distant fan, who doesn’t even have any previous emotional connection to the show, i just have to say this is spectacular. like really. and no matter whether you’re a fan, whether you’ve seen the anime or read the manga or not, or whether you’ve even heard of one piece before, watch this show.

i can’t remember what one it was, but i was watching a video essay about the barbie movie yesterday, and this is really an extension of what was said there, about the nature of so called things made for kids, and about the point of visual media. first off, i just adore how much of an absolute spectacle this show is. it’s visuals, it’s story and writing, it’s pacing, it’s characters, the fights, the sets, the wardrobe, just the feat this show is, it’s such a visual and auditory and sensory feast and oh my god is it so fun and thrilling to be along for the ride. and this is what media lacks so much for me, this unbridled sense of fun. bc this is like being on a white knuckle ride. you’re propelled from story to story, from heartfelt moments to exquisite fight choreo, from twisted, terrifying clowns to pure dumbassery. there is no consistent, coherent tone bc that’s the point, and that is the tone. the tone is chaos through and through and it’s so thrilling to go along on the journey. and it’s one of the best examples of showing how something you see as childish can not just resonate with adults, but should be watched by adults. bc it’s not a kids show at all, but it has the joy of a kids show at its heart, and i don’t think it’s silly to not outgrow loving seeing pirates go on adventures and follow their dreams and the fucking power of friendship. its fun!! idk what else to say, it’s just so fun!! and it’s so much more!!

5 kpop songs that live in my mind rent-free

okay maybe this will flop or maybe this will just live in my drafts forever anyway but I've been feeling like rambling about some of my favorite songs lately (especially bc I feel like all of these are songs that don't get talked about enough lol). so. here goes nothing:

1. Victon - Mayday

what can I say. she is beautiful, she is stunning, I love her. this song is in my spotify wrapped top 100 every single year and I will not shut tf up about it to the point that I made a friend who doesn't even listen to Victon become obsessed with it as well. this song is my roman empire.

2. Golden Child - ONE(Lucid Dream)

everything about this song is just engineered to be perfect for me, specifically. the instrumentals, the vocals, the anti-drop? it truly scratches that one very specific itch in my brain and I have yet to find any other song that hits even close to the same.

3. ONF - Why

LISTEN. listen. this song? literally altered my brain chemistry the first time I listened to it. ONF just have such a unique sound and this song specifically just really hits different. also the cinematography in this mv? stunning. please god go listen to ONF.

4. Verivery - Lay Back

honestly there are a lot of Verivery songs that I could have added to this list but this one made me listen to them in the first place so I feel like it deserves this spot the most. something about this song - especially in combination with the choreo - is just so incredibly satisfying to me.

5. Imfact - The Light

I'm not gonna lie to you, I don't even listen to Imfact that much but this song? I've listened to it a truly unhealthy amount of times. I can't even quite tell you why I love it so much, I just do. The vibes are just simply exquisite.

well if this somehow doesn't flop and you see this, feel free to ramble about 5 of your favorite songs and tag me, I love to see what people listen to 👀

ENJOY!

"Hey, Gayoung!" Jongho chimed from behind her. Gayoung turned around with a shy smile. "Oppa, hi!"

Gayoung shared looks with Hwayoung and Zora, who walked away while giggling, leaving them alone. "How are you? I haven't talked again since you ran off," he grinned. The girl blushed as she looked at her feet. "Sorry about that, I just-"

"I wanted to apologize about it, I am really sorry about that comment, it came out really weird and I did not mean to make you uncomfortable at all, Gayoung-ah," Jongho said with a serious look in his eyes.

Gayoung-ah. That's so hot.

She bit her lips as she checked him out. She loved the leather-type of looks on a guy, and it looked truely exquisite on Jongho. "I actually... wasn't that uncomfortable... I just didn't know what to do because my mind...went places," she stammered, still looking at her feet. Her left heel tapped against her right one a few times as Jongho took in what she said. "Your mind went places? Are you saying you had dirty thoughts?" He laughed.

"Yah!" Gayoung scream-whispered, "not so loud, oppa, everyone will hear you! Yes. Yes, dirty thoughts. You said you'd split me in half for gods' sake," she muttered. Jongho laughed, not believing what he was hearing. ''You're joking right?''

She shook her head. ''No, oppa, I'm not kidding~ Is it not obvious I have a big crush on you?'' Jongho recalled all the touches and glances they've shared, the time they drank coffee together, the time they sang together. Jongho wanted to say something but the words wouldn't come out. ''What do you think? About me... being into you?''

Gayoung stepped closer, gently letting her fingers brush against his. ''I had hoped so, yeah,'' he breathed out, feeling his heart thump against his chest. His mouth went dry as she clinged to his arm. ''Is it a bad idea, oppa?'' ''You've just debuted so...It might be, but bad ideas can be quite fun,'' he smiled.

♡

The mid of May meant that the temperature went up, making the city hotter day by day. That's how Wooyoung felt right now, getting hotter day by day. Now his libido was out of this world he couldn't hold himself back any longer.

At 9.30PM on a Monday night he found himself wandering down the halls on the second floor, hoping to find Evelyn dancing again. Lucky for him, she was right there. He smiled as he heard her thumps on the floor as she moved to the beat of an Ariana Grande song that he vaguely recalled.

Wooyoung sneaked his head in, gasping as he saw her perform in just a white sports bra with grey sweatpants. Grey sweatpants clearly worked on girls for guys as well. He softly closed the door and swallowed thickly as she whipped her hair and rolled her body to the music.

''Hey.''

Evelyn turned around, surprised. The tension immediately rose as they locked eyes. Wooyoung was still standing against the door, biting his lip. Evelyn walked closer to him, taking a breath. ''I was hoping you'd be here... the choreo looks good,'' Wooyoung breathed out. ''I was hoping you'd come,'' she whispered. ''Do you wanna help me with my... dance, again?''

Click. With a simple wrist motion, Wooyoung locked the door behind his back.

Wooyoung smirked as Evelyn wrapped her fingers around his wrist, pulling him to the middle of the floor. He wasn't sure if she noticed the click, but he just went with it. ''When I sway my hips like this, does it look awkward?''

Evelyn swayed her hips seductively as she stood before Wooyoung. They locked eyes in the mirror and it would be a total lie if he wasn't eye-fucking her. ''Nothing awkward about that, Evelyn,'' he said in a low voice. She had never heard him talk like this, maybe it was the arousal, the tension between them.

Maybe it was the outline of his hard cock pressing against her ass as he stepped closer to her. Evelyn gasped as he rocked his body with her, crotch still pressed against her ass. ''W-Wooyoung,'' she breathed out, unsure of what to do. Wooyoung turned her around and looked her in the eye, searching for some form of consent.

The two panted softly as they stopped their movements, Wooyoung's hands sliding to her waist. Evelyn felt as if she finally let go of the brake as she kissed him passionately. Her head tilted to the side, letting her long blonde locks fall over her right shoulder. Wooyoung was taken-aback, eyes half-lidded and looking at her, before finally closing them, giving into his desire.

His hand brushed over her cheek, cupping it gently and caressing her jaw with his thumb. Her breath shuddered as he pulled her closer. He felt the beating of her heart becoming more rapid as his fingers slid over her neck. Evelyn parted her lips slightly, her tongue sliding over Wooyoung's bottom lip. She slightly bit his lip before exploring his mouth with her tongue.

She felt like her skin was on fire, nipples perking up as his hands slid over her chest. His thumbs grazed her hardened nipples, making her moan into the kiss. 'She's so sensitive.'

Wooyoung withdrew his lips from hers and attached them at her neck. He tasted her skin, smelling like the most delicious fruits and flowers, a scent that was so seductive he wanted to drop to his knees to eat her out right there. 'Why don't I?'

Just like his imagination told him to, he dropped to his knees, helping her out of her shoes and pants. He nibbled on the skin of her thighs, slightly digging his teeth into her milky flesh. Evelyn gasped as he swung one leg over his shoulder.

The male gawked at the sight of her dripping wet pussy right in front of him, and he couldn't waste any more time before diving his face right into her core. Evelyn let out a high-pitched moan as Wooyoung lapped and sucked on her clit. He looked at her from below, eyes twinkling as he smirked, slurping at her wet cunt.

She ran her hands through his hair, pulling it slowly as he worked his tongue inside her. ''Fuck, Wooyoung, fuck me with that tongue, that's so fucking good,'' she cursed. He ate her out for nearly fifteen minutes, although it felt like only fifteen seconds. She let out sinful moans and gripped Wooyoung's hands repeatedly.

Finally she felt herself getting closer to the edge, breath picking up as she felt the familiar warmth in her abdomen. ''Oppa, oppa I'm cumming, cu-cumming, oh, c-cumming, fuck!''

Evelyn came hard, squirting over her lovers' face with a loud whine. Wooyoung chuckled as he rode out her orgasm, licking her clit a few more times. ''Well that was a surprise,'' she panted out as Wooyoung stood up again. He wiped his face and nodded, licking her arousal off his fingers, ''So was this.'' She blushed and laughed at his squirting-comment, pushing his shoulder lightly.

Now it was her turn to bring herself to her knees, leveling herself with his crotch. Evelyn pulled down his cargo pants, only to find him not wearing any underwear. ''You were prepared weren't you?'' ''Well, maybe a little,'' Wooyoung confessed.

His cock was so thick, her mouth started to water. Pre-cum was smeared over the tip of his length and the veins running from the tip to the base was enough to nearly make Evelyn cum right on the spot. She wrapped her lips around the head, swirling her tongue around it.

Wooyoung groaned as her tongue played with his tip. He slid his hands under his shirt, playing with his nipples as he fucked his cock down Evelyn's throat. The arousal could not stop him anymore, he was totally lost in his pleasure.

His breathing picked up as he heard Evelyn choke and gag around his dick as it hit the back of her throat. ''I wanna cum in your mouth so bad babygirl, so good, letting me fuck your mouth like that,'' he grunted.

Evelyn nodded eagerly, looking up at him with big doe eyes from below. Her lips looked so good stretched around him like that he felt like he never wanted anything else in the world, only her sucking his cock.

''Baby, you feel too good, you're gonna make me cum,'' he moaned loudly. Evelyn got so into it, bobbing her head down on him as he kept thrusting into her face. Spit dripped down his cock onto his balls and he felt his hips jerk as his dick twitched in her mouth. Wooyoung came with a loud moan, pumping all his seeds into Evelyn's mouth.

She looked up at him, sticking out her tongue after she swallowed. Wooyoung smirked and nodded, ''that's a good girl, such a good fucking angel,'' he commented, although it felt more like devlish than angelic.

The two soon got startled by a bang on the door. ''Hey, this door is shut.'' ''Well, probably because people are doing the nasty in there.''

Their eyes widened, realizing they haven't been quiet at all. They were quick to put all their clothes on again. They quickly told each other good night after Wooyoung proposed to do this again sometime, properly.

When he got home to his dorm he felt elevated. He sat in the empty living room as he felt a note in his pocket.

''Hey oppa,

Here's my number and this is my Snapchat, you can expect some cute (nasty) pics if you'll add me

x Ev''

Finally watched RIIZE's Memories and ooOoOOH

It's just such a nice fun summery bop !!

Also the choreo is c l e a n

Especially with the juxtaposition of fluid motions with hard stops, the attention to detail w/respect to angles here is exquisite !

But what really stands out to me in this live stage is just how much Shotaro comes alive when he's performing :')

like truly the constantly-moving camera angles in other videos detract from this, but from the static camera video it's so SO clear that shotaro is their center and he shines in the spotlight

nhk thoughts

i'm sooo happy to see sota on the podium -- i do wish for better, more original packaging from his team for next season.

kaori's skates always make me cry. i love how large and open her movements are, and how fast she skates across the ice. she is just different, so powerful. kaori always seems so nervous before she goes on the ice, that it makes me nervous ... but then when she gets on the ice i just forget everything. the running edge on some of her jumps is just incredible. i hope she recovers from her illness soon and gets her confidence back. her ex gala was wonderful.

kazuki's skating is so fun. really whimsical. i would like to see him skate to a more serious, minimalist program, too.

idk i just feel very neutral about jun. beautiful jumps, ina bauer.

idk how i feel about adam. I think he has great quality of movement, but i didn't like the programs or choreo themselves all that much ... it just felt a little maximalist/inflated? that's just my onion idk. very fun ex, more skaters hsould use swords/lightsabers/props.

ted shut up dude. but i thought it was really funny how he kept trying to make sota's name rhyme. soto yamamoto. sota yamamota.

shoma

i rly liked this gravity -- a major improvement from SCI gravity, with the musical timing. not sure why people don't like this program -- at the beginning when it was still very messy, yes, but now? his performance is just so incredibly intense, intensely human and raw. it's what i wanted from dancing on my own, but didn't feel like i got 100% -- i just feel like he's so sensitive to movement here, to the timing and performance and emotionality. so much tension in that ending pose, like there's a real sense of emotional turbulence and ...gravity... here, that just wasn't as present in DOMO, a similarly melancholic program. i just love it. love it so much.

ok one major issue i have with shormenta is the transition between bach and orlinski -- it seems very hard for shoma to get the timing right, to do the little hop right as tormenta comes in, b/c of the ritardando at the end of the bach. maybe he just needs to practice it more, but if he can't get it perfectly timed maybe they should change the choreo so that it doesn' t look like he's off time every time the music starts?

padam padam gets better every time. exquisite cantilever. thank you to whoever was in charge of the lights.

Antis choking, mouths foaming with Jimin’s success lol 🤭 AOTY 👑

Oh I never expect anything from charts and things like that but I've been enjoying this so much 😭 never imagined the album would do so well. He deserves it. Both on personal terms and artistic ones because it really is a great albums and the performances so far have been nothing short of brilliant. That Jimmy Fallon stage is exquisite. Now my only wish is that he'd want to watch the world burn a little and he'd shift the formation so the male dancers are where the female ones are in the current choreo. C'mon Jimin you can do itttt 🫂🙏🫂🙏🫂🙏🫂🙏🫂🙏. We should all manifest this.

Youtube is killing meeee tho what is wrong with them?!? AND HANTEO DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT

[macaroni-rascal]

Just caught up on the FD, and dare I say, the best-dressed event of the GP?

Holly - our sexy Aussie mermaid - what a look. Absolutely stunning. The shape of the skirt? Perfection? It moved beautifully. The only thing I'd change is that little ruffle along the back. Jason, though. If this isn't a Shape of Water program, then why in the hell is he dressed like the Amphibian Man? Why the bolero with the awkwardly placed fins? Pretty boy done dirty. He is a Canadian novice champion, a title that famously not even VM have, so he deserves better. If he just had a dramatic shirt with flowing ruffles reminiscent of her skirt, it would've been stunning. Possibly the best program they've ever had, none of that Chaka Khan nonsense.

Hannah and Ye - perfection. Exquisite tailoring, fabulous colors and fabric, really accentuating their best features, like her gorgeous back. Stunning performance, I was completely carried away. Underscored.

I actually like Katerina's dress, it had a sense of drama, the skirt drapes and moves beautifully, maybe just the front could be a bit lower. She has the Bradie problem where she pulls her hair back too tight. The hair piece, if they're already going to use one, should've been lower on the forehead. I'm sure Oksana is delighted at the reference. His costume is barely even there, he needs to be in a lighter shirt, he completely disappears. The confusion here is why a brother and sister duo are doing Swan Lake. Like, what is the story they're telling? Big, dramatic music suits them but the choreo is just not ready for the big leagues.

The Browns again with perfunctory costumes and god-awful music. All I could think about was that moment in Clueless to this song, so I don't know why they'd give a sibling team a tune from a movie where step-siblings get together. It bothered me that the blue on her dress and his shirt didn't match. She's definitely a Gabi fan girl, she was literally doing her facial expressions. Great skating but they need a makeover.

Olivia and guy - oh, brother. This is less Elvis than Elvis impersonator. What is this man doing skating with this queen? He's not looking at her to connect with her, but to try to keep up with whatever she's doing. Even Chris called out the lack of chemistry. Again messy on some elements and at risk of getting them invalidated if the tech panel wasn't fucking asleep. They spent almost the entirety of the program in the middle of the rink, which was really confusing? There's no actual concept to this program, they even said themselves she doesn't have a character and they don't know what story they're telling. Maybe how this huge celebrity moved a 14yo in her house, married her, and then later raped her when she told him he was leaving him? Because that's the story of Elvis, and it's been out there for decades, so why choose this? Otherwise her bodysuit is a slay and just shows what Amber's could've been if just the waist was in the proper place, I just wouldn't have bedazzled the buttocks. His outfit is fine, the jacket is too big, but I don't even care what he wore, I like to pretend he wasn't even there. Find Liv a Partner on her Level 2024! I liked her hair and nose ring, what a star.

Brb with part deux: Czech bugaloo.

I'm just going to post this and part deux, because people deserve to see these reviews! <3

Ｄａｔｉｎｇ ｔｈｅ Ｋ／ＤＡ Ｍｅｍｂｅｒｓ

Pairings: K/DA! Akali J. Tethi, Evelynn, Kai’Sa, Ahri x Black!Fem!Reader

Genre: Headcanons

Synopsis: My take on the girls of K/DA and how they would be in a relationship!!

Warnings: some cursing, mentions of weapons (kunais in akali’s section)

A/N: When you want to create the content you want to see, you bets do it yourself. So, more K/DA!!

ᴀʜʀɪ

Shopping sprees 24/7

She’s definitely going to spoil you rotten, and all she asks in return are headpats and cuddles

Has the world intrigued on who her partner is - your relationship is private but definitely not a secret

She posts pictures on social media with cute little captions like ‘waking up to my sun’ or ‘on a date, kinda nervous’

Interviewers try to trip her up to reveal your name, a fact about you, something that would give people a clue as to who you are, but she swerves them with precision and ease.

She’s cool with at home dates or going out for a night on the town, so long as she gets to hold your hand doing so

ᴇᴠᴇʟʏɴɴ

Evelynn gives no fucks, she’s showing you off every chance she gets to

Buys you a new car for your 6 month anniversary

You’re her new makeup tester. You have marks of eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, contour, etc all on your poor arms and legs

Buys you a new lipstick every day just so that she can kiss it off of you

She takes you on every trip and tour she and/or the girls have, you’re almost treated as a K/DA member yourself with how much privilege she gives you

Down right tells interviewers to fuck off if they ask about you directly though.

If social media pictures aren't enough she doesn’t know what to tell them, cuz her mouth stays shut to the media about you out of respect for your life and privacy

If she deems you too far away she’ll use one of her tails to inch you closer to her. When you look at her with a raised eyebrow she feigns innocence. Cuz what are you so far away for??

Only the most exquisite for her lover. Five star restaurants and hotels, jet rides to any city you want to visit, and don't even let her catch you looking into a storefront at a new dress or a fresh off the line pair of heels. Cuz it can and will be shipped to your address with next day delivery

ᴋᴀɪ’ꜱᴀ

Clubbing clubbing clubbing clubbing-

Will take you to every club in town just so she can dance on you

Feeding you is her love language, and since she’s lived in so many different places growing up, she has a wide range of recipes under her belt.

Let her ramble on abt her experiences in different countries and she will be putty in your hands

I feel like she prefers outside dates more than stay at home ones, since she’s constantly moving and on the look for new things and inspiration.

You're the first to see her dance choreos, incomplete with mistakes and all, since she trusts your feedback as a fan and audience member

Would want to introduce you to her parents depending on how long you two have been together.

Comes to your apartment in the middle of the night saying she can't sleep, and so you two are up til early morning just talking, cuddling, listening to music

ᴀᴋᴀʟɪ

I feel like it takes a minute for akali to adjust to the concept of a relationship. She welcomes it wholeheartedly, but some actions and mannerisms dont come as easy to her as with the other three.

PDA is something she doesn’t engage in often, but holding hands is a constant thing that occurred even before you two started dating so it wasn’t that awkward translating that into your relationship

Matching damn near everything - outfits, jewelry, accessories, tattoos, piercings, you name it, you two have at least one matching set of it or there is matching set planned in the near future

Biker girlfriend aesthetic biker girlfriend aesthetic biker girlfriend aesthetic-

You have definitely stolen one of her bulkier biker jackets (despite you having your own custom made one) and fans instantly flood akali’s social media asking what the deal is

She never replies tho, she thinks the speculation is hilarious

Very much the music industry’s ‘it couple’ a few months further into your relationship when you two start appearing in public more frequently

“Left hand is steering, the other is gripping your thigh” kinda girl. The girls that get it, get it <3 while we’re on the topic she has some very attractive hands

Once she’s a bit more comfortable with y’alls situation, she doesn't mind making it semi-public. Gives her a reason to post those ‘private but not secret’ relationship pics she takes with you. 

Play with her hair, specifically the nape of her neck, she shivers a bit from the feeling but it definitely feels good. Will pout when you stop. And dont do it while she’s driving - just dont. Yall will crash.

If you enjoyed, please leave a like, comment, and reblog for others to see! And don't be shy to send a request!

Fave parts of rtc (may reblog w more later):

Base bass pun +Virgil the rat plays a bass line agsj I can't I saw that and was like 'oh yes this musical has exquisitely funky vibes I think I will enjoy this'

"Like our far-from-the-city-little-itty-bitty pretty hometown" hhh assonance my beloved + that bit where they go from the light hoppy tune to smth else with "fall fair fall fair fall fair-WHEN THE FALL NOT FAIR.." like as soon as it changes w the music and the deeper voices and it's like Woah honestly just the whole Fall Fair number mM (i have listened to the other versions but like,, i like that one the best still idk but I do appreciate the existence of the other versions)

I love all of them I love me an ensemble cast of children to emotionally adopt they all got their baggage their backstories their quirks and honestly I love how they're all introduced in a succinct way yes ty

Honestly the whole premise is 🤌 👌 yes wow i love

Ok this is less a list of cool moments and more just,, thoughts but yeah hm catch me rotating this in my brain like a microwave

[dodgefred]

do you have any ideas as to how you would direct abh/certain scenes if you had the chance

short answer: yes

long answer:

i think overall i would do similar things from mcc because the directing in mcc was exquisite and jessie nelson did a wonderful job, but i would also incorporate some other elements into the show like having an ensemble onstage at all times, having the ensemble integrated into the set like the spring awakening revival does, and i would want everything to feel much more intimate. mcc already does a great job with the intimacy but i really would want to expand on that feeling and make the audience feel as if they’re a member of the bunker listening to this story too.

another thing i would keep is the parallels between bunker visuals and wonderland concepts, like the gas mask flamingos. i would like to expand on this, though, and make the parallels used in the costumes much more noticeable.

the plot structure of alice by heart, in my mind, is alice spencer telling the story of alfred’s death (whether she realizes it or not). i’d have alice begin and end the show reading her book. the music of west of words would begin as soon as alice opens to page one, and the sirens wouldn’t get introduced until after her first verse. this lets us get introduced to alice as a character before we’re introduced to her situation. this also should be the only time alice is alone onstage, and the stage would be bare.

after the siren, the rest of the ensemble would run onstage with furniture and build the bunker in a flurry of bodies and chaos surrounding alice. alfred would run in front of alice before running to his cot, and the rest of this scene would proceed with alice still standing in the middle of all of the chaos around her. her book is still open in her hands. she is our narrator.

my next major point of change would be with down the hole. the bunker kids changing into their wonderland forms would be more clear, and would feature more dramatic onstage quick changes during each of their respective verses or lines. instead of alice twirling into her blue dress, she manipulates the rest of the cast into changing themselves. i don’t think alice would change into her blue dress until alfred sings his “down and down we fall” verse. alfred would playfully remind her to change herself, too. they’re best friends and have played this game countless times and we need to show it onstage. also i think alfred deserves to wear rabbit ears. that’s all.

an alternative decision would be alice starting the show in her blue dress in order to represent how she’s constantly with “[her] head in wonderland.”

i think mcc didn’t do enough with still. a bit of a spoiler for later is that i really want to keep the lobster dance, or at least something similar to it. however, i’d introduce it in still rather than in those long eyes. i’d introduce it as an overarching theme of their relationship. just like wonderland, the lobster dance is something they do quite often; often enough for alfred to know how to do it even when he isn’t fully paying attention. in still, alfred would still try to be evading the discussion and escape alice’s grasp, but she’d try and do their dance together. they don’t finish the dance before the end of the song.

the only major change i would make to chillin the regrets is i’d have the caterpillars lay down more for the scene before. they can get up and do fun choreo with alice afterwards (during the song) but i think she should work more for the attention they give her (during the scene), like alice has to in the original story. they should definitely be more apathetic towards her at first. i’d also like to introduce some sort of dance motif in chillin that alice echoes to alfred in the key is when she tries to get him to smoke. in chillin, i also think it would be cool if there was a smoke machine onstage making the stage as foggy as alice’s head is. if she as our narrator doesn’t know what’s going on, how are we supposed to? i think the smoke can fade for the key is, because we actually need to see that one for the plot, but i think even so there could be some sort of playing with shadows and silhouettes that would be really cool.

i think the bird scene would be really fun with puppetry! the puppets could be made out of items that would only be found in the bunker, like the same fabric the cots are made of, buttons that match the ones on the characters’ clothes, and the gas mask beaks. the birds would just be so much fun as puppets. skipping ahead a bit here, but i also think the duchess in manage your flamingo should have a pig puppet to reference the original a bit more closely.

as mentioned earlier, those long eyes would have a dance motif that would continue throughout the show, and i think while the dance in those long eyes lasted longer than it did in still, it still should be cut off by the sirens and shouldn’t be complete. alice still doesn’t have closure for their relationship by this point, so the dance shouldn’t either.

for most of the show, the cheshire puss should be hooded and perched on an upper platform whenever shes giving alice advice. when alice wont listen to her, she finally snaps and sings some things fall away. she gets on alice’s level and finally reveals her face.

i don’t have many more specific ideas until the end because most of the songs in the middle chunk of the show are just alice running around wonderland and i’m not a choreographer so i’m not really sure what i’d do exactly with these. but i do want to bring up the jabberwocky. i’m obsessed with what mcc does by making alice’s fear of the doctor and the soldiers physical, but i think we could take brillig braellig as an opportunity to bring back the puppets. i think it could be an entirely dark stage except for alice and the jabberwocky. the jabberwocky can be made entirely of white fabric and have images of war and alice’s other fears and traumas projected onto him. the stage can be lit from below so we get some interesting shadows. if we want to incorporate something like mcc did with butridge literally being the jabberwocky, he can be dressed in all white as well and have the puppet follow him around the stage to have more physical interaction with alice. in this scene, i imagine the puppet being pretty big so the ensemble’s place onstage would be helping in puppeteering so the stage would feel emptier than it actually is.

i’m obsessed with the falling rose petals and the coughing before another room in your head in mcc but i think that part could really benefit from some modifications. instead of them being in an empty stage, i think there could be a carpet of white roses beneath them and soap blood could literally come from alfred all over them and all over him. the roses aren’t the only roses in that scene.

in i’ve shrunk enough, i think it would be cool for the characters to go up in a puff of smoke and exit out of a trap door in the stage when alice poofs them out of existence. alice should be the only one poofing everyone away, as she is our narrator. i also think there could be a moment where alfred quickly runs backstage and changes back into his original hospital gown for the final scenes. (in terms of logistics i think the hospital gown could stay beneath his white rabbit costume so he’s able to more quickly change). when he returns onstage, it should be the end of the song. in the vassar reading, at the end of i’ve shrunk enough, alfred says “time’s up” after the final notes of the song. i would want to bring that back. alfred says it as he returns onstage, and the lighting suddenly shifts to two spotlights — one on alice and one on alfred — that merge as the two get closer throughout the next scene.

in afternoon, we bring back the lobster dance. this should be the only time the dance comes to a close. alice isn’t ready for alfred to die, but she’s a hell of a lot more ready than she was during still. she can continue doing the dance by herself after alfred leaves.

after alfred leaves the stage, alice also picks up the book. throughout the show it was probably left downstage in one of the corners of the stage, so here alice picks it back up and finishes it on alfred’s cot. the spotlight follows and doesn’t disperse to reveal the rest of the ensemble until the final notes of the song when alice finally closes the book.

throughout winter blooms, the characters should dismantle the bunker like they brought it on in the beginning. they each change into their wonderland costumes once again (or at least bits and pieces of them, since winter blooms is a pretty quick song, but i doubt their wonderland costumes are too drastically different from their bunker costumes regardless) throughout the rest of the song. at the very end, i’d have alice come centerstage once more, standing in the same place she was during alfred’s death. she’d sing to an empty stage, for the most part, until her final “and there you are.” alfred comes onstage (whether he comes onstage himself or he’s brought up through the stage on a lift or a turntable, i don’t know) in his white rabbit costume once again, and alice pulls him into an embrace as the stage fades to black once more.
