Time to pester my mother with the rtc production that's 4 hours away because one of the days it's being performed is legit my last day of school

When I was younger, I used to think that I didn't like musicals. But now that I have grown and matured, it just turns out that I held in my heart an absolute burning hatred for Frozen. And I still do.

Hi, I kinda hate the casting of Nick Jonas as Jamie in The Last Five Years but instead of being a hater, here’s a list of roles I think Nick Jonas would be a better fit for if he wanted to do musicals again

Also before people get mad at me, I am not saying Nick Jonas is my number one choice for any of these parts, or even in my top ten, I just think he’d be a better fit for this part than Jamie Wellenstein.

Marius in Les Mis

I know he’s done this, and idk if it’s a hot take to say I like his Marius. He’s not my favourite, but he’s solid.

Corny Collins in Hairspray

Flynn Rider in Tangled

This assumes that Disney does a Tangled Stage musical

Brad in Rocky Horror

Fieyro in Wicked

Dr. Pomatter in Waitress

Curt Mega in Spies Are Forever

Anthony in Sweeney Todd

Tommy Ross in Carrie

This assumes all the other cast are also adults in their 30s playing teenagers

Warner in Legally Blonde

Billy Flynn in Chicago

One of the Princes in Into the Woods

Anatole in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812

I don’t know if he can actually sing that high, but I think he plays a very convincing douchebag

Monty in A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder

[girlcockholmes]

people who say starkid is a good entry point for people getting into musicals i feel like youre insane. like just bc its parodies of popular stuff still doesnt mean people will find it appealing

[adaptations-polls]

Which version of this do you prefer?

how planned and thought out do you think everything was when it came down to the setlists of 2023 and 2024 (thus far)?

the interview with patrick where he said “i want to play this song [headfirst slide] that we haven’t played in a long time, it’s still on my pedal and everything,” to fans rallying to convince fall out boy to play it by setting dates to increase stream counts at once and starting hashtags, then to pete saying at one of the pre-release shows “you said your faces would melt off if we played this,” to it becoming a setlist staple for two legs now. how much of that was planned, and how much of the abundance of additional deep cuts, demos, and even soul punk songs were part of that plan? or how much of it snowballed off that stab in the dark of “well, they said they wanted it, might as well give it a shot.”

on one hand, they are very methodical in what they do. but on the other hand, what’s not to say they finally saw what people really wanted - so much more beyond the hits + current album - and they felt so much love from the reaction of headfirst slide’s first play in over a decade that they said, “why not?” and spread the entire discography across the table, leaving no one out (except mania, rip).

in the likelihood that it was just something to say in passing to a question that is probably asked on the regular, and not an elaborate plan put into motion before the question was even asked, i think it did everyone wonders and showed love to everyone across the board. love to the fans. love to the songs. and love to the band.
