some various rambles from the boston jangle ball!
the show started w/ deck the halls of northville high which they called a villain song (which felt like a diss @ robert lmao)
in twisted clark took the "i only wanted a coat made out of puppies!" line and it was great
there was a whole bit about aj upstaging people to do gilderoy
another bit, or could've been a well-improvised technical difficulty, before queen b where they like restarted it and joked about time travel. also the dancing here was SO GOOD
after each of the first few songs they did like a fakeout "that's our show goodnight"
JANAYA DID STUTTER. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND HEARD.
they wrote these little holiday lyrics to status quo it was cute
there was a "capitalism medley" because "the real villain is capitalism" (mood) iirc it had cup of roasted coffee, golden rule reprise, and the wiggly jingle. wasn't part of the medley but corey also did our doors are open
despite being a villain themed act i they didn't do rogues are we/rogues medley??? there was no hmb rep at all unfortunately, same with tto (and mamd but that's predictable)
vhs christmas carol was very much in concert form, they weren't really playing characters a ton or in costumes. james did have the shutter shades for christmas present which was great
the "not in character" part was most evident with dylan-- despite being scrooge he was clearly having the time of his life onstage the entire time and cheering on everyone else it was so wholesome
everyone came out to do the christmas electricity dance
joey carried bholden in on piggyback to play tiny tim
jamie played turkey boy and had the most delightful accent
brerideth played the couple in christmas future and shared a kiss it was so cute
joey and dylan had a little handshake they tried to do in the finale but they messed it up lol
the entire atmosphere was so much fun!! everyone on and offstage was having a great time, i mentioned in another post but people were literally singing along to the intermission playlist it was just really good vibes. as someone who has been to very few concerts, and never been to one alone, it was an awesome experience
