- Mod Squip

so i wrote this super long post about how i totally loved the @bemadisonchill performance and everything about it but then i accidentally deleted EVERYTHING so a summary literally everyone was perfect for their roles. the cast i met out in the lobby were some of the literal nicest people i’ve ever met and my queer heart sang for all of them tbh. I’m really glad I came out to this show! some things im gonna mention: -jeremy and michael dabbed in unison. during more than survive. b y e -christine was literally the cutest oml and when she took out the stepstool to be as tall as jeremy i cried -squip song was awesome! its kinda hard to belt that one for sure and they did a great job -everything about two player game. everything -“what the fuck” instead of “jesus christ” in be more chill pt. 1 which totally threw me off guard but i loved -jeremy flinched when the squip told him how terrible he was :( but jere seemed nervous like a teen boy throughout the show which really made me happy -FEMALE SQUIP. AND SHES A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL??? -brooke and chloe killed do you wanna ride i’m so- -the interaction between chloe and christine got me legit upset (especially finding out from chloe later in the lobby that they’re best friends irl?? oh my god) -guy i’d kinda be into was killer holy fuck -UPGRADE UPGRADE UPGRADE UPGRADE the entire thing was pure bliss -“I already know what it’s like to be the loser” he pointed at Michael and i hurt -HALLOWEEN SKDJF the drink-off between jake and jeremy was beautiful and then they did the worm. brb. -jEREMY WAS SO GOOD AT ACTING CLUELESS BEFORE DO YOU WANNA HANG AND HIS AGGRESSIVE HEAD SHAKING HAD ME ROLLING -MICHAEL!! IN THE BATHROOM!! HE KILLED IT. never heard a better rendition of MITB before it was SO good (besides the O.G. of course) -DO YOU HAVE ANY MOUNTAIN DEW RED? *CHECKS THE ALCOHOL TABLE 4 TIMES AND LOOKS INSIDE BOTTLES LIKE THERES GONNA BE A SOFT DRINK FROM THE 90S IN A RUM CHATA BOTTLE* -the smartphone hour was so good. everyone killed it -PITUFUL CHILDREN. i loved it sm and the choreography was so good i swear -when jeremy called his dad a loser my heart dropped through the center of the earth -PANTS SONG OH MY GOD THE HARMONIES WERE SO GOOD -Mr. Heere “do you love him?” Michael: “uh, what?” -all of the play was great, especially Jake’s upgrade reprise MMM -HOW DOES MICHAEL JUMP THAT HIGH?? WHAT THE HELL -“Jeeeereemy, I love youu” Michael looked so sad in the corner my heart sobbed -Michael booking it out when everyone screamed was a mood -the squip just taking off her shoes and getting off the platform all defeated, love -the entirety of the hospital scene, rich’s bi cast made everyone cheer oh my god -Michael started to wheel Rich off and then just pushed him and let him roll offstage -MR. HEERE WALKING IN WEARING LEATHER PANTS I CRIED -voices in my head was hella cute and i liked how the squip limped in all disheveled for her part in the song -MICHAEL AND MR. HEERE RAN ON AFTER CHRISTINE AGREED TO GO OUT WITH JEREMY AND MR. HEERE PICKED CHRISTINE UP AND KINDA CARRIED HER ON HIS SHOULDER I THINK BUT MICHAEL PICKED JEREMY UP BRIDAL STYLE- that’s all for now tune in next time on “never let josh go to see a musical because he’ll obsess over it”

and my project is finished! none too soon either, since i see one of @bemadisonchill ’s shows today! i’m super excited, i hope y'all enjoy this bi boy (in his boyfriend’s jacket) for pride month :)

Can’t wait to see you!

Going to see @bemadisonchill today and I’m so excited! I’ve heard so many good things about the production!

Say hi at in the lobby afterwards! we’d love to meet you!

im gunna start this off by saying HOLY SHIT. THE CAST ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT. THE SHOW WAS INCREDIBLE. ALL OF THE ACTORS/ACTRESSES WERE SOSOSOSOOOOOO TALENTED AND DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB. FROM THEIR LOOKS, THEY RANGED FROM LIKE 17-EARLY 20S??? LIKE THEY WERE YOUNG AND IN TERMS OF BLOCKING AND VOCALS THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB!!!

-the harmonies in two player game were 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌there were tears in my eyes

-at “will you be too cool for me– video games?” the look on jer’s face was like “i would never” and he was like desperately trying to comfort michael

-the squip was the sassiest little bitch ever…. in be more chill part 1 she was sitting on the platform behind everyone and filing her fucking nails…. she did that a lot it was so fucking funny

-the smartphone hour was fucking. AMAZING. they had ensemble members in the aisles singing at people like “did you hear did you hear?”

-at one part an ensemble member looked me in the eye and during “when rich set a fire cause he knew he was gay” and I died it was amazing, the look on her face was hilarious I LOVE YOU ENSEMBLE GIRL

-do you wanna ride had me SHOOK, Brooke was INSANELY TALENTED DAMN,, and then when chloe joined I think my brain exploded

-also during smartphone hour, everyone had their phones out (duh) and some of them had a snapchat convo open that read “omg rich set a fire last night!!!!” and stuff like that, while others of them had a badly photoshopped picture of the guy who played rich standing in front of a burning house I was dying

-because it’s just a small local theatre I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be this good but wow

-i might add more details later, i’m super tired rn,,,

Oof there is so much here i don’t know where to respond! this makes the entire cast so happy!! i’ll start with my comments and have devin add more

I’m actually a freshman in high school, i’m the youngest principal, and our oldest is michael at 24. so you were right with the guess that we are pretty young!

also ur 100% right about how attractive everyone is(as a bisexual i feel you)

also it makes me laugh because you called me and alto but...sadly i’m not! i’m actually a soprano but i had to really get down there to hit some of those notes so oof

sassiest little bitch is how i’m describing myself from now on

Austin(mr heere) says that he loves whomever that is

Thank you so much for supporting us! you guys are truly the best

im just gonna come out and say it

someone should draw art i the bmc midwest cast because i love them

We love you too! And we would absolutely love this! If anyone draws art of us, please send it our way, we'd all really love to see it!
