[noneuclideanwhimsy]

Yeah, this is really cool! I agree with most of your Act 1 decisions, except for me IMBBTBS is a clean tie. In terms of Act 2 I have much more complicated feelings about Juicy/WWMO because… I really dislike Juicy because of the lyrics, they make me genuinely uncomfortable, but it feels so weird to just not give Violet an exit song (plus WWMO has its own set of problems, it absolutely does not approach this very controversial part of the story with enough care). In this case I think I’ll say that my favourite is You Got What’cha Want from the UK tour, which handles Violet’s exit quite a bit more tastefully considering the unfortunate existence of… that part of her fandom. Also, and I don’t mean this as a personal attack at all, I think the Veruca demise decision on Broadway was absolutely unnecessary and actively harms the show‘s tone, and when combined with how Willy acts on bway it all makes the ending feel kind of jarring with how much messed up stuff it completely overlooks and the audience ends up more concerned for Charlie’s safety than happy they won.

A lot of my opinions here are to do with how I feel that making catcf darker than the book is usually just doesn’t work if you want to preserve the tone of the ending, for the reason I mentioned above (you’re supposed to be happy that Charlie’s going to run the factory and you can’t convey that without feeling contrived and whiplash-y if you spend the rest of the show filling said factory with traumatic deaths).

Also I’d love to hear your thoughts on which songs you prefer from each version!!! I can share my own opinions if you’d like too!!

YEYSYSYEYEYSYSYES THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME YAP ABOUT THIS!!! 

Just a heads up, this is going to be a VERY long post. VERY VERY long. Hopefully anyone reading has enough patience 💗

Btw I am not going to be comparing the songs visuals, because if we were to do that the WE would very easily win every single one. I will also not be mentioning Candyman, as it is placed pretty weirdly. This is simply a comparison of the two cast recordings, West End, and Broadway. There are some other songs you won’t see mentioned, like A Little Me, Charlie, you & I, and The Amazing Fantastical History of Mr. Willy Wonka, either because it’s pretty self explanatory, or because there’s nothing to really compare it too. The random is so small so this very long ramble is prob gona go nowhere lmfao 

First off; 

Almost Nearly Perfect/Willy Wonka! Willy Wonka! 

Yeah this one goes to ANP. WWWW is good for telling the story, and showing the dynamic between Wonka (in disguise at this point) and Charlie, but takes away from the bonding time of Charlie and his family. ANP is also far better at introducing the character of Charlie, and showing that no matter how poor he is, he finds enjoyment in all the little things, while also showing his infatuation with Wonka. 

A Letter from Charlie bucket 

I’m bouta be rlly honest, I dont know for this one. They’re both very similar, besides the fact that Charlie’s father is dead in the Broadway, so I’m gona call this one a tie. 

More of him to Love

Again, more or less the same. This one’s probably a tie too. Although I will mention I actually do prefer the dynamic between Augustus and his mother in the Broadway, even with WE being arguably the superior version. 

When Veruca Says 

Ah yes, one of the most iconic original songs of this musical. Personally I find the Broadway more enjoyable to listen to (specifically because of the Russian accents lmfao) but honestly, the girl as Veruca in the WE recording did arguably better at showing Veruca’s extreme personality. Gotta love Emma Pfaeffle tho. 

Queen of Pop/ The Double Bubble Duchess

Oh my god this is a hard one. They’re both SO CATCHY OH MY GOD. And the actresses are so fucking talented it’s crazy. Although I listen to Queen of Pop more frequently, TDBD is arguably more impressive specifically since Violet is played by a child in this version. So yeah there’s things like that to consider. I enjoy listening to both though.

What could possibly go wrong?/ It’s Teavee Time! 

Yeah this one obviously goes to WE. Mike is easily my favorite character in all adaptations of Catcf, which is why I personally prefer Teavee Time, because it does a great job at introducing Mikes character. WCPGW is funny and all, but it barely tells us anything about Mike. A very common problem with the musical (in both versions) is that they focus more on Mikes mother (this was mainly a problem in the broadway bc she was played by Jackie Hoffman who’s a legend). That’s js my opinion tho.

If your Mother/Father were here 

This one’s actually a lot different from each other, hence Charlie’s father being dead in the Broadway version, so the meaning of the song is sort of shifted. As much as I adore the dead dad ballet sequence in the Broadway, I think the message of If your Mother were here is a little more intriguing, because while IYFWH is reminiscing of a dead husband/father, IYMWH features both the parents and seems to be saying that because of the Buckets family/social situation, it’s very easy for Mr and Mrs Bucket to feel incredibly distant from each other. That’s all I will say about that 

I’ve got a Golden Ticket/ Doncha Pinch me Charlie

I’m going to be so honest I’m not really a fan of either songs, but if I had to choose it would be Doncha Pinch Me Charlie, because it gives Charlie the same spotlight that the other golden ticket winners did in my opinion.

It must be believed to be seen 

Friendly reminder this is NOT about visuals. I actually prefer the Broadway version of the this number. Maybe it’s because of my love for Christian Borle, but for some reason the way he sings it just feels more smooth to me. Also, in the West End, there was like… no backing from the ensemble which I personally enjoyed that aspect of the Broadway a lot, especially the harmonies. I also find the timing of some of the things in the WE (reminder I’m referring to the cast albums) version of this song to be a little bit weirder? If anyone wants further evaluation I can give it, but for now I don’t think I need to. In the end it’s js a certain something about the Broadway that makes it sound better to me ears if yk what I mean. 

Strike that, reverse it 

I think this song does a great job in both musicals!!!! I don’t really have a preference for this one honestly, I feel like both do a very good job at expressing the dynamics between the characters, and Christian Borle and Douglas Hodge both do a great job with this song. Although I’m not a fan of listening to songs with dialogue constantly being interchanged with the music, I think these shows did a very good job with it, and I do actually enjoy this song a lot!!

I do not wanna express my opinion on the placement of Pure Imagination in both versions rn bc I don’t want this post to end up being WAY too long (it alr is but I’m doing what I can, okay? Also yes this means I wont be discussing any of the ending songs bc uhhhh I js don’t rlly feel like it rn. I’ve alr expressed my opinions on a lot of the ending songs before as well) 

Auf Wiedersehen Augustus Gloop

I mean… I’m not really a fan of the way this is done in either version, so I don’t rlly know what to put here, but something I will say that doesn’t rlly have anything to do with my preference is that the little lines Augustus has in this song in the WE has me even more convinced that Augustus barley did anything wrong. 

Juicy/ When Willy met Oompa

Juicy is better I don’t even feel like this needs discussion at all. 

Verucas Nutcracker Sweet 

Okay. Attack me all you want but…. I actually prefer the Broadway. Like storytelling and visually wise I prefer West End, but idk there’s js something about the Broadways more menacing tone that I actually sorta like. I do think tearing Veruca apart was a weird addition, but i don’t really hate it. I mean, Violet  supposedly gets her limbs sold to her fans in the WE version and I don’t ever hear ppl talk abt how dark that is. 

Vidiots

The catchiest song in both versions. One of the best songs in the show. It’s literally so funky I love this song so much you don’t even know. The Broadway actually did pretty great with this one visually in comparison to their other sets. I do prefer the lyrics of this song in the WE, bc it sorta has more of a point, but I like the key Broadway did it in a lot, I think I prefer it higher. Ik it doesn’t change much but there’s smth about it. 

[caedmonfaith]

I love your Fergus and Osgood pairing so much that it broke my heart that it wasn't canon. Thank God i can go back whenever i need a Fergus fix and read your fics. You are my fic dealer as i lovingly refer to you as.

C’mere, you.

We’re still planning on doing a sequel to WWMO that follows Fergus and Oz (as well as Ian and Rose), and I’ve considered doing a prequel to Shopgirl that follows Fergus and Oz, but I wasn’t sure if anyone would read it. I’m stuck on Ineffable Husbands right now, but Ian and Rose (and Fergus) are in my blood. I’ll be back!!

😘

🔥+ Mun's opinion on the Broadway show

//I mean, I guess my entire opinion of the show is unpopular because I really enjoyed it, and thought most of the humor worked really well (it is weird and dark and that’s my jam).  Unpopular within the fandom: I think both “Juicy” and “When Willy Met Oompa” are lyrically underwhelming and should have gone back to the drawing board (WWMO is slightly more musically catchy).  Within some parts of the fandom: the adults playing the children on Broadway played more realistic, interesting kids than the actual children in the West End production.  The West End kids were very one-note/had no redeeming qualities.  This is a directorial fault if anything.//

[justice-for-jacob-marley]

I will stand in support of WWMO forever. But only the unused version.

但最近可以說是到了相當火熱的程度>///<

以下就直接開始跟大家開箱，

以及分享大家最喜歡看的穿搭>///<

有看我之前風格部落客聚會文章的朋友，

應該都有注意到，

我跟花兒有拿著他們家的皮夾，

上台「拉拉鏈比賽」XDD

我們兩個超怕拉壞，

可是他們直接跟我們說

「沒關係，拉壞代表我們品質不夠好」

真的有夠帶種！！

 最後也還真的沒有被我們拉壞，

而且這個小方包這幾個月用下來，

也真的完全沒有被粗魯的我給操壞，

（我老是拼命往裡面塞東西，又很愛亂丟亂甩包轉圈...）

 是說有附上防塵袋，

對我來說就已經是大加分了♥

首先，

這個金屬牌就做的好有質感>///<

 灰色搭上金色配的恰恰好，

所以當時我才會一眼命中這咖小包♥

 而且他們的金色是美美的玫瑰金～

完全沒有抵抗能力啊！！

金色鍊子也一樣是美美的玫瑰金，

而且不是那種塑膠或很輕的質料，

是真的很有份量但又不會太重的金屬鍊。

翻蓋的扣子是有磁力的，

因此不用害怕很難蓋拿個東西��要蓋半天，

位置靠近的差不多就會自動扣上囉！

翻蓋後這一層有一個拉鍊夾層，

可以放稍微重要的東西，

我都拿來放公司鑰匙。

內層部分，有一個拉鍊夾層＆一個內袋，

內袋夠深又夠結實，

我都把我家尖尖的鑰匙放在這裡，

到現在都沒有任何損壞♥

（依照我的粗魯程度，

以往大概2-3個月我的包包就會斷或破了...）

背後還有一個夾層，

就可以拿來放衛生紙之類的♥

拿取非常方便，

就不用再翻包包翻半天！

斜背鍊帶是可拆式的，

拿掉就會變成手拿小方包，

Omg! This is soooooooooooooo much like chapter 2 of WWMO!! Just swap Ian for Martin and badabing! So eerie! I guess great minds think alike, eh? LOL

Give it Another Try

@timepetalscollective Pete explaining how Jackie is still here after the events of AOS/ROTC.

The man was looking at Jackie with confusion.  “Pete, I’m afraid that I don’t understand.  Your wife was Cyberized last year.”

“She very nearly was, yes,” Pete gently ‘corrected’ him. He inhaled deeply, steadying himself, preparing for the largest lie he’d ever told.  “I can assure you, it’s been frightening for the both of us.  To see your wife…” his voice broke at the memory of the screams as the original Jackie of his world had been converted into a Cyberman.  “Truth be told, I don’t know what I’d do without her,” he squeezed Jackie’s hand.

“Pete,” the man began.  “I don’t want to rain on your parade, I don’t think… Just,” he paused. “Tread carefully.  That must have been a traumatic experience, I’m certain, but I’m worried that this will only be a short-term reconciliation.  I know that you both have been having problems recently and –”

“And we have both recognized that we don’t want to live without each other,” Pete interrupted firmly.  “Martin, you honestly haven’t a clue as to what my marriage to Jackie wa- is truly like.  You’re not even married yourself.”

“No,” Martin agreed, “I’m not.”

“I love Jackie,” Pete continued.  “We had some friction in our relationship for the past couple of years,” Martin raised his brow sceptically, “but I think that we’re better for it.”

“Pete, I don’t understand.  You expect me to believe that Mrs. Tyler has undergone a complete personality change-”

“Which several psychologists, whom I daresay are more qualified that a businessman, have diagnosed as a symptom of PTSD, of which my wife rightly suffers from.”  Pete scowled. “And it doesn’t really mattered what happened, does it, when the only thing that matters is that Jackie and I are reconciled and we’re bringing our daughter home.  She’s been away her entire life, at various boarding schools. Only the best for the Vitex heiress, you understand (Jackie’s words, not mine).”

“Your daughter?”  Martin said in disbelief.  “Not only has your wife become a different person, but now you have a daughter?”

“She’s twenty.  Never been home once.  We felt that it would be best-”

“Pete, I’ve been your best friend since we were kids! And now you’re telling me that you have a twenty-year old daughter whom I’ve never met?”  Martin searched Pete’s face, throwing his hands in the air as he slowly concluded that the other man was telling the truth.

“Martin,” Pete was at a loss.  “I expect you to believe it because they’re my family. And now I have a second chance to make it right.  I love her.” God, he loved her.  He’d lost one Jackie Tyler, long before there had been any Cybermen.  “I mean, how often do you get a second chance like this?”  The answer was, of course, never.  Except he had gotten it.  “And I’m telling you, and anyone else who has something to say about it, that we’re taking advantage of this.  We’re happy.” He was happy.  Happier than he’d been in twenty years.

“You know what?”  Jackie finally spoke up, her eyes glinting with pent-up frustration.  “I don’t think that I care much for what you think.  Martin, was it?  I might not have had a relationship with my husband for the past twenty years, but I love him and if you don’t like it you can sod right off, then.”

Martin looked as though there were several things that he wanted to say.

“I wouldn’t say anything, ‘mate’,” Pete advised him. “She might finally be happy with me, but she’s still Jackie Tyler.”

Martin looked from Jackie back to Pete.  “I suppose I’ll let you be, then.  Let me just repeat what I told you twenty years ago. You’re the one who’s got to live with her, mate.”

Pete barely refrained from rolling his eyes.  “Yes I do,” he stroked his not-quite-his-wife’s thumb. “Matter of fact, I was planning on doing this a bit later but since you’ve sort of brought it up.”

“Jacqueline.  Andrea. Suzette,” his voice strengthened as he mentally counted off each of her names, “Tyler.”

“What are you up to, now?”  Jackie asked, bemused.

“I’m getting it right this time.”  Pete slowly knelt to the floor.  “Jaqs, I married you once in 1986.  I thought that I’d lost you forever, but then that Doctor showed up and you were there and we had this new opportunity to be together.”

Jackie pressed her hands to her mouth, already knowing what Pete was going to say next.  Her eyes widened as he pulled a ring box from his pocket.

“I already managed to say your full name, which was a feat in itself.  Jaqs,” Pete felt himself at a loss for words.  He opened the box to reveal the sparkling ring inside.  “We’re different people now.  What do you say we give it another try?”

Jackie swiped hurriedly at her eyes, holding out her left hand.  “Oh, Pete,” she gasped, letting the tears fall as he slid the ring on to her finger.

“Is that a yes, then?”  Pete laughed shakily, already guessing that it was as Jackie latched on to him.

As Martin watched his best friend propose to his wife, he knew that this was not the same Jackie Tyler whom he had know for years. Perhaps Pete was right.

“I suppose that this calls for a toast,” he opened the cupboard, knowing exactly where Pete kept the good stuff.  He pulled out a bottle of French champagne, popping the cork. Once there were three small glasses poured, he lifted his in a toast.  “To new beginnings.  Let me be the first to wish you happiness in your renewal of your marriage,” he shrugged, awkwardly stringing the phrase along as he came up with something to say before the moment was over.

“I’ll drink to that,” Pete said, smiling, kissing his wife once more.
