Since one of my mutuals (hehe shoutout @nato-obenkrieger) was posting about the Be More Chill book, I thought I'd post about some stuff in the book that I found intresting/or liked (I wanna yap, let me yap):
Michael stimming and singing Weezer when Jeremy says something that reminds him of a weezer song
Jeremy getting a chocolate shakespeare for Christine ( SO CUTEE- LIKE AWWW)
Jeremy being uncoordinated and missing a handshake and Michael lets him redo it:
Jeremy litterally having problems with motor control (he's me fr fr)
Jeremy struggling with mental math:
Michael reaction to Jeremy saying he'll drive by himself. It just feels so real and so sweet:
Book Jeremy is just so giving ADHD to me and I can't get over it (Also, gotta love Michael being there for Jere)😭😭:
JEREMY SAYING HE WAS IN "YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN" ONCE?!? (I got so fvcking excited about this one because I've been in YAGMCB beforeeee. I was Sally :D )
Jeremy saying "Rockin' " as, like, a subsitute for saying "cool" or whatever. I love it.
Jeremy doing jumpkicks when he's nervous
Jeremy's humilation sheets (When I read it, I was like, "That's some shit I would probably do. 😭😭")
Jeremy having RSD?? (I've posted about this before)
ANDDD probably more that I can't quite think of right now
reading splinters finally made me listen to youre a good man Charlie Brown and omg?? this musical!! im so obsessed and so happy that you might do a spin-off about the rehearsals. I know Nikolai is Snoopy plus a few others that you've mentioned in the fic, but are you able to confirm the rest of the cast?
EEEEEEEEEEE im glad you listened to it! :D listen yagmcb is so silly and i could talk about it for HOURS because like. there's so much to take in. (also im beyond curious about whether you listened to the original or if you listened to the revival; both are fantastic, though the revival has a few changes and additions!)
regarding the cast for yagmcb in the fic, the show actually has a very small cast! i based it both off my research and also when i did the show myself. the named characters are actually very small in the show-- there's only a few, plus the ensemble! depending on the production/director, they might add in named characters/scenes (i know my director did). also, originally, sally wasn't a character-- her role was instead peppermint patty's. they changed it later on (and ofc then kristen chenowith the legend played her which was iconic af), but--
sorry. got sidetracked LMAO
ANYWHO! Here's the castlist!
Charlie Brown - Ace
Lucy Van Pelt - Lucy Montgomery
Linus Van Pelt - Karma
Patty - Tanizaki Naomi
Schroeder - Nathaniel Hawthorne
Snoopy - Nikolai Gogol
the director for the production at yokohama high elected not to have an ensemble considering the wild cast above. it was probably the best decision he could make, plus not abnormal. (iirc i made bram stoker the director but dont fact check me on that. in fact there is no way to fact check that SHDFKGHSDKJGHDS)
the crew includes Poe, who is a student director, Margaret Mitchell, Lovecraft(? i wrote that a while ago) and more though i cant rm who rn
again, glad you listened to the musical! :D its literally so fun and so silly and charlie brown literally is just a pathetic little guy the whole time
Hi im auditioning for snail in frog and toad and can't find any good short monologues
We could absolutely cut some. If you go for monologue #5 here and take it from "Lunchtime is among the worst times of the day for me. If that little red-headed girl is looking..." to the end, it should be nice and short. This one from Annie Jump and the Library of Heaven may work for you. Or you could look at Schroeder's monologue (YAGMCB is a honestly a pretty great source for short, G-rated comedic stuff)
two of my favorite underrated moments from the yagmcb soundtrack:
“sturdy roof beneath my head”
when the whole gang is listing ridiculously extravagant things to do for beethoven’s birthday and schroeder says absolutely nothing, but then charlie brown recommends a bake sale and all of a sudden that’s too commercial
i was sally brown in my school’s production of YAGMCB and im really proud of how it turned out, and i kinda wanna post the audio of me singing but idk :]
#Throwback to when I got to dance around the stage with a blanket and it was totally acceptable. Even though this show was a year ago, my #YAGMCB fam is still bonded as ever! #GetOnTheBus #MissingMyBlanket (at Pacifica Spindrift Players)
