JLP at ART

I know I don’t normally post anything these days, but as a trans person who was really torn up by what happened with Jagged Little Pill I’m desperate to hear who Jo was meant to be.  I know there’s a recording of the ART production out there and if anyone could send it to me it would mean the world to me.

“The devil take this Orpheus, and his Belladonna kiss...”

Hadestown is so perfectly and lovingly crafted to my interests it’s hard for me to believe it exists; like someone took a dream from the deepest places of my mind and made it real. Do you ever encounter something you never knew you were always waiting for? That’s what this feels like.

amazing how this site can go apeshit over musicals every day but never remember Telephone Wire from Fun Home when Alison Bechdel shifts between “say something talk to him” and “say something talk to ME” and then just says anything in such a crushed voice

I....I...I don’t know what to say or how to respond, I just feel so sad and so honoured to know that this show had a life and a place in my heart. I can’t think of a show that made me feel like I had a place in theatre this much. It breaks my heart to know I never got to see it.

Can we PLEASE take a moment to appreciate the goddamn AMAZING amount of craftsmanship that goes into making pro ballet costumes?

I MEAN …

COME ON PEOPLE!

GENUINELY FUCKING SPECTACULAR!

THE DETAIL!

THE BEAUTY!!

THE GORGEOUSNESS OF IT ALL!!!

Costume designers are some of the most awesomely skilled people on the planet and I feel like they very rarely get as much admiration as they deserve. Especially in ballet, because a lot of the time at least half the audience doesn’t get the chance to see how intricate and beautiful these pieces truly are. I want to thank the artists who put so much effort into making characters look amazing.
