#unfortunately mr sondheim and i disagree about the whole ‘meh singing is fine if the acting is great’ thing. peace and love may his memory

anyway if we’re talking movie musical adaptations. hunchback would be amazing but it would HAVE to be done correctly. like must have roma ppl cast as roma roles (including quasimodo i fear many forget his mother was roma). every character needs to be able to sing their mf face off and tbh they gotta get rid of the whole “going to heaven means being cured of disabilities thing” like that is genuinely crazy. it NEEDS to feel gothic and scary. patrick page literally has to play frollo its not often i am deeply attached to the original actor but he just. IS frollo. they should also get me in that mf recording studio for the choral features of course

my brother said spring awakening at a24 and honestly. not no but i raise him a24 bare a pop opera. that would fix me

also catch me if you can. SUCH an underrated show all around but brenda needs life breathed into her i think if they developed her as a character more it would be perfect. it’s just such a classically MT score i would die for it

next to normal would be great however it reaaaally would have to center diana. i fear the movie route for this in terms of marketability would be to focus it on natalie and gabe which is just simply not the show
