Saw someone say musicals were never made to be sad, never meant to be tragic and I'm ????? There has always been a very special kind of sadness in musicals. Some undefined melancholy.
#please tell me its not just me ?#ive never seen a musical that was 100% happy tbh. before you ask disney doesnt count#they have always been some pensiveness some melancholia in musicals especially in solo songs#just like any play or any movie you'd tell me and you would be right#but imagine someone come into your house and say 'video games were never meant to be sad'. bullshit.#like what video games did you even ever played#well same about this. what musicals did you even see to say some bullshit like this 😭#musicals#musical theatre#aura wanders again#I MEANT TO WRITE 'THERE' IN THAT THIRD TAG I PROMISE I KNOW THE DIFFERENT ITS JUST A TYPO AND WAS TOO LAZY TO CHANGE IT

One of the (many) reasons I deeply dislike the "Annie and Finnick's wedding was only a propaganda move that meant absolutely nothing to anyone" take is that is... simply not accurate?
It is often claimed Plutarch had Finnick and Annie intentionally wear Peeta and Katniss' outfits to send some type of message, but that means to completely ignore how it was Katniss herself that offered to give Annie a dress for her wedding:
“when Plutarch has a fit over what the bride will wear — I volunteer to take Annie back to my house in 12, where Cinna left a variety of evening clothes in a big storage closet downstairs.”
How Peeta himself also made their wedding cake:
“As surely as the embroidery stitches in Annie’s gown were done by Cinna’s hand, the frosted flowers on the cake were done by Peeta’s.”
And to also disregard how everyone else felt and how happy and excited they were to be part of it:
“When it’s announced that children are wanted to sing District 4’s wedding song, practically every kid shows up. There’s no shortage of volunteers to help make decorations. In the dining hall, people chat excitedly about the event.”
All in all, it means to brush aside how everyone perceived their wedding as simply something good, genuinely so, and nothing linked to a false spectacle:
“Maybe it’s more than the festivities. Maybe it’s that we are all so starved for something good to happen that we want to be part of it.”
#like sure for plutarch and coin it was just a show and an event to exploit#but compared to how absolutely everyone else felt#do those two opinions' even matter?#no one saw this wedding as theatre or a propaganda show except for the two of them#was it an act of rebellion through joy and love and dancing and songs? absolutely#but for annie and finnick and katniss and peeta and the rest of the people from district 13#it was clearly far more than that#anyways that's just me rambling#odesta#finnick x annie#finnick odair#annie cresta#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#thg#the hunger games#meta

"And I'm askin', "Why, Lord?"/ If this is how I die, Lord/ Why be left with no family and no friends?"
The Ballad of John Doe, or, "haha what if the original souls of Luxu's vessels became Lingering Will-esque ghosts who could not remember who they were in life, and can only remember that they were someone at some point. wouldn't that be fucked up or what."

curt and kim being dance partners in all the scenes at the castle is something that is so special to me
#theyre so cute i looooove couples in theatre shows so much#like i know it’s helpful for stage entry and blocking if angela and lauren dance together#and mariah is also on stage left hence the centre pairing w jeff and curt is on stage right the whole time#and jeff in the centre placement so he can quickly grab his sword after the song finishes#and also for practicality reasons of the two of them being able to practice outside rehearsals if they need#but STILL THEY ARE EVERYTHING TO MEEEE#the way they walk off together after neon light as well <3#i wish i had the digital ticket for longer there’s so much background detail i still haven’t picked up on#the costuming in neon light is so good as well I CANTTTT DO THIS I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH#i am so fucking excited for the cast recording to hear all the harmonies in hd#starkid#tilda rambling#cinderella’s castle#cinderella’s castle spoilers

I have a lot of respect for the Just Stop Oil protestors who interrupted Les Mis last night. I've done disruptive actions before and it's fucking hard. Any kind of direct action is hard, and anyone who participates in civil disobedience (or uncivil disobedience!) will know that.
But still. It's incredibly disheartening to see the negative responses from people who (presumably, seeing as they either follow the account and/or bought tickets to the show) are fans of Les Mis.
And like, I don't know, it's just making me reflect a lot on how popularised versions of Les Mis (mainly the musical) still fail to get through to people. It doesn't hammer home the message in the book's prologue, it's too easy for people to see it as that was then and this is now, that was over there and this is here, etc, etc. Like... I can't stop thinking about how quickly the protestors were thrown under the bus by both the audience and the theatre. How it's easy for people to exercise hypothetical solidarity towards a bunch of fictional characters yet not extend that to real life contexts. How everyone will unanimously agree that the National Guard are the bad guys and then turn around and cheer on the IRL cops for removing protestors. I don't know.
And I've been to productions of Les Mis before where people will cry during the barricade sequence or comment on how upsetting Fantine's story is and then come out of the theatre and walk straight past the unhoused people on the streets. It's not new. But it is particularly jarring when as soon as the lights come up people seem to forget how fervently they hoped that things would be different, and not realise they have to play a part in that change in order for that to happen. Like, the message of Les Mis is supposed to be if you do nothing, nothing will change.
The amount of people who don't seem to grasp that Les Mis condemns people exactly like them, who stood by, who turned away from the people trying to change things, it's just... It's so fucking frustrating.
#anyway i blame turning. fuck that song#and like. i will be the first to admit i don't agree with all of jso's tactics or targets. but i think this was a pretty good one#if only to expose the absolute hypocrisy at play between the themes of the show and the corporate interests of those at the top#it wasn't too long ago that lots of theatres had fossil fuel sponsorships. they're certainly not innocent here#and the people that i know within jso are some of the loveliest people ever. it hurts to see how much hate they're getting for this#les miserables#les mis

I need to watch Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure to reach my final conclusion on if she's even attracted to men
#girl help i keep thinking about sharpay and ryan being each others only friend growing up#theyre not very good at interpersonal relationships#romance is foreign to them. they dont care about playing romantic interests because they only view romance through the lens of theatre#fake. not real. an act to entertain an audience. so they dont understand why it would be weird#neither of them have ever kissed anyone#sharpay likes things that make her look better#because her whole life is a performance#so she wants troy because hes a shiny accessory to her#thinking about hsm 2 where once again when she tries to perform a romantic song (with troy this time and not her brother)#she still barely fucking looks at him#all of her attention is on the (nonexistent) audience#and ryan. ryan hm#ryan usually performs alongside sharpay#its usually an in universe performance. theyre on a stage. theres an audience#and all of his attention is on pleasing that audience#an exception to this is during the gay baseball song#where theres a different kind of audience BUT#ryan barely looks at them#most of his attention is directed solely to chad#talking flirting teasing being cocky and annoying but clearly addressing him directly through most of the song#first time this has happened with ryan. take that as you will#ANYWAY i can see sharpay as completely uninterested in romance but she hasnt realized that about herself#and she THINKS she wants it. because she sees it as glamorous#or maybe shes a lesbian i dont know#she might be a lesbian#the deciding factor is sharpays fabulous adventure#if she has chemistry with the guy in that movie then shes just repressed and clueless#if she doesnt shes aro#or possibly lesbian

One of my favorite things about actually joining the Starkid fandom after so many years of loving Starkid but not being a part of the community is seeing how much love and enthusiasm for Starship is still out there. Like, ya'll really love the silly alien-bug-Little-Mermaid musical I was obsessed with twelve whole years ago and it warms my heart so much <3
#starship#starkid#it's big and it's unwieldy and it's way too long with not enough songs and yet somehow all of that WORKS for it and I love it so so so much#it's just a tremendously enjoyable and heartfelt piece of theatre magic that rises above the level that it should#like Denise's mom said it's a show for dreamers#also for a retelling of the little mermaid and spoof of sci fi movies it's so original???#Like never seen anything else like it anywhere#anyways every time I rewatch it I'm blown away by how great a time I have#and I love how the trans and nb community has connected with it I think that's so special and amazing

I’d recommend voting for LL, 3L, or LiL. Those three have enough ✨theatrics✨ to qualify for a musical.
Don’t vote because of whatever alliance you like best. Which would suit a MUSICAL??? Specifically.
#poll#maddie’s rambles#life series#trafficblr#tumblr polls#traffic smp#3rd life smp#last life smp#double life smp#limited life smp#secret life smp#real life smp#as a double life kin and a theatre kid it wouldn’t suit a musical </3#too chaotic#it needs to be part of a satire production with musical edging#they constantly act like they’re gonna burst into song#but never do#it’s like i love youuu with musical stuff.#and then a very unmusical ilyt#secret life is not meant for songs it’s already a musical with that one Grian ep#real life heck nooo#and then we have LiL#now I only want this because Martyn is gonna be a funny asf character#but he can also pull that off in 3L#3L is dramatic enough to qualify as a musical but Last Life would slay#vote last life guys#let’s face it 3rd life is gonna win y’all ain’t NEVER gonna leave the desert

Every time someone comments the state of musical theatre in their country by saying musicals here should be presented in English because the translations are awful, a muse loses its lyre.
I mean, sure, if you think musicals should always be sung in their original language to preserve the exact vocal flow the original artists intended or whatever other purist connoisseur reason, fine. You're entitled to that opinion.
But other than that, the correct statement is this: musicals here should be translated better because the current translations are awful.
Just saying.
#slightly related: Tom Waits's The Black Rider is being staged in Finland and the licence says they're not *allowed* to translate the songs#rumor has it that even having Finnish subtitles for them is forbidden but I'm not sure if that's true#but even if they only forbid singing a translation out loud that pisses me off to no end#I mean. sorry Tom but no matter what your lyrics for the show are like they're not all that#if Shakespeare can be translated to local languages wherever his plays are performed so can this. and any other text for that matter#translation is an art of its own and it deeply annoys me that with this show they're not even allowing anyone to take a shot at it#I honestly think the theatre should've just called bullshit and chosen some other show. just as a matter of principle#sometimes I hate it here#musicals
