aaip for the musical thingy ask stuff!

send me a show ! please ?

the first song from this show I heard. i mean, it probably was a song from the movie as a small kid ? that’s a tough one because i couldn’t tell you if i wanted, i have no dang clue, i’m a gershwin baby and grew up with those. from the show production specifically, well. i listened to the châtelet radio broadcast as it was airing, so. litterally, listened to the show in order.do I own the cast album ? yes, physical and digital, and i’ve been hoping to get some monies for over a year to buy an overpriced signed copy on eBay.favorite song. stairway to paradise. which surprises nobody. they can’t take that away from me is close though.least favorite song. that one’s tougher. i don’t really ? i love all those songs, wtf. uh. fidgety feet ???? which i love, it’s such a great number, insane to see live, but - only gonna use the ‘song’ basis and not the staging round, i guess. but i still love it, i’m just. yeah. favorite character. henri baurel. which again, surprises nobody. least favorite character. again i love all the characters they’re all my kids ?? for the sake of getting one out, mr. z. shrug emoji. OTP. adam n henri, tbh. and jerry and lise, because who wouldn’t. and ‘for fuck’s sake give milo davenport happiness wtf’BROTP. the three musketeers !! also a big fan of henri’s relationships with lise and milo, gotta say, but i love anything involving m’boi, so.NOTP.  ?? i don’t think i've ever came across an aaip ship i can say i notp mainly because there’s not really ? any. so, i don’t ? really have one. song I didn’t like at first but now do. i mean, it’s still the one i put down as ‘least favorite’, but fidgety feet i originally... ‘oh okay, shrug’ at, and being able to see it ( thru bootlegs, then live ) really made it grow on me. i love this song.song I used to like but now don’t. but not for me made me cry too many times, i don’t like it anymore.is the fandom annoying ? i mean, i’m not big into fandoms, i try to stay far from them and the whole ‘group factor’. for the longest time the aaip fandom was ? five people, tops. then the falsettos fans discovered the show, thanks to branuran ( loml ), and we got a vague influx of content but - still definitely not much. i don’t know, honestly ? the few people i talk about aaip constantly with are rad ( ok, there’s especially one, they’ll recognize themselves ). the people who think being ‘kin’ with a character entitles them to steal other people’s fanwork without credit and block them when they ask for said credit are shit. but that’s people, again, not a group or anything like that.do I read/write fanfic for this show ? i’m not a big fanfic person in general because i don’t trust other people with some characters i love. or with this show in general. so, not really. i’ve been writing henri for a few years on a rp blog though. favorite non-sung line. can i put down a whole scene in here ? bc the dressing room scene, i mean. again, i’m not surprising. but then - ‘ you know so much about other people. you are so wrong, my friend. i love her more than my own life. lise is the one i devote my life to despite whatever name you choose to give me. artists are supposed to see more. understand more. what do you even know about this woman you say you love ? ‘ #thelecture, don’t you just hate when french people are right, jerry mcmillan. and, while i’m at it, same scene, later. ‘life is already so dark. if you have got the talent to make it brighter, to give people hope, joy - why would you withhold that ? it's gotta be a celebration, this whole ballet. ( goddamnit ! i hate it when french people are right )’ bc, yeah, that’s where it’s from. whenever i hear that line i see the wonderful piece of art from the sketchbook andrea selby wrote to accompany it, and i honestly want to cry. the baurel’s segment is also really important to me so. *points at everything around stairway with all my 5895156 fingers* aLL THOSE LINES.favorite lyric. picking one is tough but - the harmonies on ‘we may never ever meet again on the bumpy road to love’ are my personal idea of heaven. then that’s more the moment than the lyric, but in general - any kinda lyric in they can’t take that away from me. ‘our romance won’t end on a sorrowful note’ to the end, i don’t mcfuckingcare. this song’s a masterpiece of delicatesse when performed properly. overall rating out of 10. 1806/10
