MBTI musical mixes

I spent almost a month on 8tracks making a Broadway mix for every MBTI type; featuring showtunes that are either sung by characters of that type or relate to that type through my analysis of the functions expressed in the song.

So enjoy (and an imaginary cookie to anyone who auditions for a musical with a solo from their type’s playlist)

went to the theatre cafe in london the other day, and not to be overdramatic but it’s the best place in the world probably. they have amazing memorabilia on the walls (inc. the broomstick from the first london performances of wicked, omg) and play showtunes all the time and the wifi code is stagey24601 which sums it up really.

if you’re ever in london, GO - it’s on shaftesbury avenue opposite queens theatre (les mis).

I recently found out that Aaron Tveit will be leaving Assassins earlier than scheduled due to early Graceland filming and when I came onto Tumblr I was really upset to read 90% of the posts. 

I’ve seen some comments saying that people are wanting their tickets refunded, that they aren’t going to bother going any more and that his replacement isn’t going to be as good as him. 

As a fan of musical theatre, I can understand how frustrating it must be if you’re one of the people that have booked specifically to see Aaron. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean that his replacement Michael Xavier should be receiving the amount of judgement and prejudice that he is. 

Michael Xavier is one of the most talented (and beautiful) men in musical theatre currently and I don’t think that he’s being given a fair chance. If you wanted to see Aaron then I understand that you’re going to be frustrated but that shouldn’t mean that after the news of his leaving date you should immediately want to get rid of your ticket. As we all know the show is directed by the immensely talented Jamie Lloyd, therefore you’re going to be seeing an INCREDIBLE show with or without Aaron. 

I think that if you’re an individual with an Assassins ticket you should consider yourself lucky that you’re going to be seeing Michael and that in no way shape or form should you be judging a whole performance on the departure of one actor. 

At the end of the day a show isn’t just one person. It’s the actors, ensemble, swings, understudies etc. You shouldn’t be casting a dark cloud over the whole show based on one person leaving. 

#this#psa#this is so important#like the pippin tour- i was really upset kyle s wasn't in it anymore but i ended up seeing it twice (with two different leads)#because the whole cast was so wonderful#broadway

Stage Door Ettiquette

I’ve been to see a couple of shows recently and I was mortified by the way some people were conducting themselves around the stage door. This post is just me giving you some tips and advice about how to act at the stage door.

  • First of all, always bear in mind that it is not in the actors job description to sign programmes for you and take photographs with you. The performers have lives outside of the theatre and if they don’t have time to stop and chat with you, don’t be offended.
  • Don’t leave before or during the curtain call just to get there quickly. It’s rude.
  • If a theatre employee gives you instructions on where to stand a the stage door, then do it. Don’t crowd the stage door and not allow people to get in an out of the theatre.
  • Don’t shout at people coming out the stage door or try to grab them. How would you like it if a stranger was shouting and grabbing you?
  • Which takes me on to my next point, you ARE a stranger to them. As much as you may love the work of a certain performer and think you know everything about them, they still don’t you and you are in fact total strangers. Don’t talk to them as if you’ve known them their entire lives and absolutely DO NOT force a hug on them (I recently witnessed this and I was horrified by it). Obviously, if you go in for a hug they’re most likely going to be too polite to say no, but you are making them hug a stranger. If they go in for a hug first, then fair enough. Otherwise just don’t do it. How would you like to be forced to hug a stranger? Don’t invade someone’s personal space without their permission.
  • If you want a photo or your programme signed, always ask politely. Don’t shove a programme and pen in their face.
  • If there are children in the show, don’t harass them. When I went to see Miss Saigon, there were two people asking the little girl who had played Tam in the show (who would be either 4 or 5 years old) for a photo. She obviously didn’t want one and it was after an evening show so she would have been super tired. At one point they even tried to take her from her dad’s arms and hold her for the photograph. But then again, I went to see Once and the little girl in that show actually ran up to us saying “I was in the show too!” and wanted to sign our programmes. In that case, it’s absolutely fine. It made her day (and mine too).
  • Thank the actors for their time, after all they didn’t need to stop and chat with you so you need to appreciate that.
  • Moving on from the actors, be nice to the people around you who are also waiting to meet their favourite performers. Don’t push and shove. Be polite. If there’s a lot of people, don’t take up too much time speaking with the actors because there are other people waiting. Also, once you’re done, let other people in. 
  • Now just an overall tip, I found out that most actors on Broadway seem to have their own sharpie with them, however in London the performers rarely do. I would take your own pen with you wherever you go and see theatre just in case the actor doesn’t have one. You don’t want to be disappointed.
  • Another tip: it’s always best to find out where the stage door is before the show so you know exactly where you’re heading after the show has finished. If you can’t find it, ask an usher. They are always very helpful.

As I said, I felt the need to make this post after experiencing some not-so-nice stage door’s recently. One of the was at Once with Ronan Keating. He has quite a large fan base because of the band he was in and there were quite a few people crowding the stage door and blocking the other performers and musicians from exiting the theatre. They also nearly crushed the little girl who was in the show when she came out (the same one I talked about previously in this post). It was disgusting.

If you have any questions about going to the stage door, or have anything to add to this post, then let me know! I hope you all have wonderful stage door experiences, just remember to be polite :)
