Why is it 2017 and I’m still not seeing trans actors on the Broadway? Heck, we still have Hedwig played by a cis guy! Heck to the no! I wanna see a trans guy play Enjolras, I wanna see a trans woman play Elle Woods, I wanna see a trans guy play Prince Charming, I wanna see a trans woman play Cinderella, I wanna see a trans guy play Jack Kelly, I wanna see a trans woman play Elphaba. At last year’s Tony’s, James Corden said, “to the boys and girls, transgender too, to every Broadway would-be - don’t wonder if this could be you, it absolutely could be!” He clearly agrees; it’s time we see trans actors on Broadway.
!!! happy Pride Month ya’ll !!!

My side blogs!
Hey guys! So I two have side blogs that I wanted to let everyone know about! I have one for the Mermaids of Eriana Kwai book series @imadescendantoferiana it’s all about my absolutely favourite books by @tianawarner (and if you haven’t read it then please do!!) and @iamchangedforgood it’s a blog for musicals!! I have a huge love for musicals so I felt it was time to nerd out about them to the fullest!
How it would really happem
Me: Oh yes, it is a Friday, time to engage in the social activities™
Me, lying on my bed and aggressively sobbing to the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack at three in the morning: Well shit
Me: okay no offence but-*fucking screams the entire of Hamilton: An American Musical™*
“what do you like most about your generation???” probably how committed we all are to high school musical

Favorite Lyrics in Newsies Songs
Santa Fe (prologue): “Don’t you know that we’s a family, Would I let you down? No way, Just hold on kid til that train makes Santa Fe.”
Carrying The Banner: “Uptown to Grand Central Station, Down to City Hall, We improves our circulation, Walkin’ til we fall.”
The Bottom Line: “And the power of the press, yes! Once again is mine!”
That’s Rich: “Hey baby, I was just talkin’ bout you.”
I Never Planned on Someone Like You: “I got no use for moonlight, or sappy poetry.”
The World Will Know: “And this ain’t for fun! And it ain’t for show!”
Watch What Happens: (the whole song tbh) “This is big lady don’t screw it up!” And “So he’s a flirt, a complete egomaniac.”
Seize the Day: “Once we’ve begun if we stand as one, Someday becomes somehow, And a prayer becomes a vow.”
Santa Fe: “Where does it say you gotta live and die here? Where does it say a guy can’t catch a break? Why should you only take what you’re given? Why should you spend your whole life livin- trapped where there ain’t no future, even at 17, breaking your back for someone else’s sake” And “Just be real is all I’m asking, not some painting in my head, cause I’m dead if I can’t count on you today.”
King Of New York: “I gotta be either dead or dreamin, cause look at that pape with my face beaming!”
Watch What Happens Reprise: pO0r GuYz hEaD iS spInNînG
The Bottom Line (reprise): “Like the pied piper you know what to play, til those kids all believed you were right.” (Don’t really have a favorite in that one tbh)
Brooklyn’s Here: “They’s a joke but if they’s thinks we’re joking!”
Something To Believe In: “You’re not really scared of my father.” “No… But I’m pretty scared of you.” “Don’t be!” (I know it’s not technically part of the song but still. Also the second to last “Now that I know you believed in meeeee” you know the one I’m talking about)
Once and For All: “THERES CHANGE COMIN’ ONCE AND FOR ALL, YOURE GETTING TOO OLD, TOO WEAK TO KEEP HOLDING ON, A NEW WORLD IS GUNNING FOR YOU, AND JOE WE IS TOO, TIL ONCE AND FOR ALLLLL YOUUUUURE GONE!”
Finale: “Don’t take much to be a dreamer, all you do is close your eyes, but some made up world is all you ever see.”
OKAY THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH ME ON THAT BYE
