i love musicals as an art form so much they are my beloved. the way they can externalize the internal experiences of characters and lay them bare in front of the audience! when characters are singing individual parts and they build together into a single climax! patter songs! they fuck they simply fuck
Musicals as colors
Umm...
I literally can’t stop thinking about this Will Power video I found on YouTube.
Shakespeare going off on what looks like a saxophone thing, taking some handkerchiefs from women, and also some guy’s codpiece.
Only 66 years until Newsies is released into the public domain
So what you're saying is only 66 years until I can reenact newsies using only live rats I've taken off the streets of New York City, and nobody can stop me?
@projectbway event 04 : free week — Manson Trio
“Why’s it called the Manson Trio?” Paulus recalls. “He said, ‘Because Bob was very interested in Charles Manson.’ It was the idea of the Leading Player as a kind of charismatic leader, kind of a cult leader. That’s a particularly dark way to see it, but it was really illuminating to understand that reference had significance for Fosse: the juxtaposition of song-and-dance and people being killed.”

Steel is cold as Moonlight Steel is sharper than Sight
did i do this right
Noooo bro... the soundtrack is playing your recurring musical motif but this time in a minor key to indicate you've turned evil :( aha
The Little Shop Archive (aka Best Channel on Youtube) uploaded an audience bootleg of the Pasadena Playhouse Production of Little Shop starring Mj Rodriguez and George Salazar. This is Act I. Act II is also on the channel.
So do the subtitles just not change for the entire play or what
what is this and why did I make it
WHAT A QUEEN
someone PLEASE explain how the costume change works! i have watched it on LOOP
anyways the version of much ado about nothing starring catherine tate and david tennant as beatrice and benedick is a Classic. david tennant’s benedick is FULL chaotic dumbass, and catherine tate’s beatrice is past being full of rage and is completely done with everyone from the very beginning. plus, they just work off each other so well.
not to mention the costumes and props. benedick in drag? BENEDICK IN JORTS AND A SUPERMAN SHIRT? beatrice wearing a suit? beatrice swaggering around with a beer in her hand, while benedick sips on pink, fruity cocktails? benedick writing his love song to beatrice on one of those stupid little electric keyboards? unparalleled artistry.
nothing makes me happier than this moment
oh absolutely ICONIC. and the fact that he gives his whole monologue after whilst covered in paint. “love me? [beat, looks down at his paint covered self] why?” truly how shakespeare intended it
I also love this. what a way to kick things off.
[Image Descriptions: Three images of David Tennant as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. Two gifs of him wearing cut-off jean shorts and a superman shirt, smearing paint all over his chest and face. One still image of him sitting in a golf cart covered in union jacks with his feet up on the steering wheel, sort of hanging off the thing. He’s wearing a military uniform. This is Benedick’s entrance in the play. End description.]
It’s been deleted 😟
New link!
It’s hilarious that the thumbnail makes this look like a Serious Thing that needs to be taken Seriously.
(Help me, I love this version of it.)
I watched this last night and truly it was a masterpiece. David and Catherine were brilliant in these role - the slapstick of it that moves into complete sincerity and seriousness in part two is hard to manage but these two manage it. 10/10 will watch again.
Something Rotten!
omg a musical song about COMPLAINING ABOUT WRITING My whole life I have been waiting for this. MY WHOLE LIFE.
OH MY WORD
YES.
I REBLOG THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME IT COMES ON MY DASH AN I HAVE LOVED IT EVERY TIME
…we also know that this actor and director’s entire direction for this was ‘CHANNEL TIM CURRY’
