“once is a romance” no that’s just how good music makes you act
“Oh my soul, is it here? Or is it rotting somewhere with my head?”
I'm doing that therapy thing where you cope with negative emotions by focusing on what you're grateful for. But the only thing I can come up with is that the Moulin Rouge film was made before Tom Hooper could get his slimy pitch-deaf hands on it.
Never seen cats, never intend to watch it, don’t care at all, but I love this.
I love all the comments saying “how many cats ARE there in Cats?!” because this isn’t even all of them lol
This is why I can watch Cats (the broadway version) over and over. Every single person on stage is doing so much character acting with their body language constantly; there are always new interesting background details to notice. <3
do you love the color of the Gone I'm Gone
i say im fine then i remember this part of the original hadestown nytw production

Drug market, sub-market, Sometimes I wonder why I ever got in. Blood market, love market, Sometimes I wonder why they need me at all.
Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)
Ok it's been a few years now so I think it's safe to say that I'll never get over "He's come to get me, and everything's ok." in For Forever in the Dear Evan Hansen musical. Because that's not what happened. Evan broke his arm after his suicide attempt and he was alone in that forest and nobody came to get him. He was alone. But there's this moment, the way that song is sung, where he believes and Connor's family believes, and even I am briefly convinced that maybe that wasn't the situation. And then the actors voice cracks or the chorus starts up again and Evan and I are both reminded that this is just a lie. A lie that was meant to comfort Connor's family and is now also comforting Evan, and isn't that really the story of the show itself? We want to desperately to believe these pretty lies, believe that we aren't alone, and then the song ends and the truth comes out and we are shocked back to reality.
The difference between film and theatre is that if a movie used desk chairs and told you they were motorcycles you'd be mad about the low-budget chase scene but if a musical theatre production does it nobody shuts up about what a genius effect it was.
