fun facts about the production of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals that my gf and her friends did last weekend
my gf, local lesbian, played MRS Davidson, who just really wanted to spit in her husband's mouth and twist his nipples while repping the office siren aesthetic and flirting w Paul
My gf also did her own German translation of the show AND directed it
the homeless man in La Dee Dah Dah Day rips off his beard right before his solo to reveal a young handsome man underneath
During that scene where Emma and Paul flee from the coffeeshop and walk through the audience, Paul's actor managed to include increasingly stupid pickup lines for their improv section ("I lost my number, can I have yours...?")
Sam's blue brain is a prop that falls to the ground once his hat is knocked off, so several characters (usually Bill) have to carry around his brain and act disgusted by it. sometimes, Bill's actor licked the brain in the background - don't ask me why that didn't make him infected 😅
To prove that they're not infected, Professor Hidgens asks the others to sing "that one part from Wicked", upon which they fail to sing the ending of Defying Gravity. Bill still did Circle of Life. For the final showing, it was "that one Taylor Swift song" with several different songs sung at the same time and Bill doing My Heart Will Go On from Titanic, forcing Ted to hold Bill for the titanic pose.
Instead of a Shirley Temple, Bill wants to make a Soda Zitron (if you're Austrian, you know that's the most basic drink 😂 just carbonated water & lemon juice)
I got to crochet some intestines that the infected ppl pulled out of Charlotte's and Professor Hidgens' bellies 😅 then Charlotte returned w blue intestines hanging out for Join Us and Die
After Ted gets hurt by Sam and Charlotte, Professor Hidgens takes care of Ted during Bill's and Alice's call. Ted gets his arm wrapped in bandages and gets a tampon stuck up his nose.
When Professor Hidgens sedates Emma, Ted witnesses it and Hidgens tells Alexa to send a poison dart after Ted, which we hear taking him out backstage as the stage goes black
Professor Hidgens revealed a blue gymnastics ribbon from his blazer when he started singing Show Stopping Number and did silly moves with it
General McNamara was played by the same guy who played the Nerdy teen and Sam was played by a different guy
General McNamara takes Paul's iPhone offstage, several noises (gun shots, shredding sounds) are heard while he destroys the phone and when he gets back on stage, he blows some flour into the air as a stand-in for the destroyed phone
Nora and Zoey are in the helicopter together, Zoey dies in Nora's arms after the helicopter crash (a la Eponine in Les Mis) and Nora pulls her offstage wailing
Alice is onstage during Let It Out and Inevitable and having a wholesome time w her dad <3
some Starkid fans showed up and saw our production after seeing the one in London!! one group even came in cosplay
