I keep thinking oh man, I’m so immature. How am I allowed to be an adult.

Then I spend time with teenagers.

And it’s like, wow, okay, yeah. I am an adult. I am so adult. Look at me adulting all over the place.

A little update:

Hey everyone! So I’ve been super busy because I was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor for Usnavi (*cough @linmanuel love me) at my regions High School Musical Theatre Awards! Super super excited, but it’s gonna be a super busy time! I was lucky enough to get to perform last year as well with Cats.

Good Lady Lyrics

From Ryan:

“This version is most current, though it doesn’t match the recording.  The photo showed a guy seething with rage in what appeared to be a grungy middle ages scene.  I was inspired to write a relationship song about a guy who is freaking out that he hasn’t heard from his girlfriend and is going insane and was intrigued also by the hyper-masculine notion that a knight of the highest order could never bore a simple woman… I wanted to put knighthood and chivalry on its head. The latin text is from the Carmina Burana, the ‘profane songs.’”

“GOOD LADY” …  the Long-Tethered Knight, with Ambient Voices (A Medieval crusade for a lost maiden—via rock concert.)

AMBIENT VOICES Fortune plango vulnerat Stillantibus ocellis Quod sua michi munera Subtrahit rebellis… (They continue variously, creating environment.)

THE LONG-TETHERED KNIGHT Gone is my Lady in White. At dawn, I roused to the sight And I, her long-tethered Knight, Found no answer.   I tore my blade from the wall, Ran through each chamber and hall, But naught for search nor for squall, Won no answer.   What Man’s so jealous yet To steal my Lady away? My maid with hair like jet And skin like pearl in ocean spray, O   I beg you hear my call, Good Lady. Athwart this earth, I follow, Good Lady. Your deathless scent Is all that keeps me from my torment, So if you hear my plea, Won’t you answer? Lady, won’t you answer me? Oh, oh…                                  

AMBIENT VOICES Fortune plango (etc.) THE LONG-TETHERED KNIGHT So sure t'was some other knight, I took my fellows to fight. I ran through each man aright, But no answer.   I drove through cave, creek, and ditch To slay each beast and each bitch, But bathed in blood black as pitch, I’d no answer.   If not a man or beast, Then where’s my Lady been drawn? I’ve hunted west to east To find no sign where she has gone, O   I beg you hear my call, Good Lady. Athwart this earth, I follow, Good Lady. Your deathless scent Is all that keeps me from my torment. So if you hear my plea, Won’t you answer? Lady won’t you answer me?   Good Lady! O, Good Lady!   Now, to a Witch of Hell To cast her seeing spell And in a pot of puss There, the answer— There, the answer— There the answer comes, thus:   No need for search or sword. No further earth explored. Good Lady just got bored.   Now life is naught but a sieve, To drain what joy’s left to give. How I preferred life to live With no answer.  

AMBIENT VOICES Verum est quod legitur Ronte capillata Sed plerumque sequitur Occasio calvata…

not-so-fun fact

ben platt has to go to physical therapy twice a week to keep him from physicalizing evan too much and adopting more of evan’s mannerisms (since he already started biting his nails and developing hunched posture because of the role).
