Stage Manager, Props designer, writer, lover of the art. I also friended all the actors on Facebook, so I can't complain about them.

Broadway lost a wonderful talent today, someone who’s career I was so happy for. Thank you for making history for being not only the youngest, Valjean, but for the first black Valjean. You will be missed, and my thoughts go out to your family and friends. Rest in Peace. [x]

I think it does. It will. But you will be the judge of your own experiences.

A message to anyone who doesn't think The Arts are hardcore as fuck:

You’re wrong.

If a dancer sprains their ankle they’ll just wrap it and smile through the pain as they do crazy-ass jumps and turns and shit on it. Like, how even, Id be crying and falling over but they look like fucking deities

Theater kids rehearse for hours every day. HOURS. Like, 8+ hours on a SUNDAY for gods sake I don’t see no football player doing that tbh

Don’t even get me started on music kids. Not only do they have to have SUCH A HIGH TOLERANCE FOR BULLSHIT but reeds are fucking hell and strings fillet your fingers into little strips of flesh. Ew, I know.

And like the art kids (painting and sculpting and that shit) holy hell do they have patience. Anyone else who stares at a canvas for 6 hours consecutively would probs go insane and commit mass murder. And holy hell batman paint hurts like a soda can up your ass when it gets in your eyes like nooooo

Makeup artists have to deal with your ugly ass faces and somehow (probs by using black magic) turn trashcans into gods.

Then there’s photographers who will literally sometimes crawl down drainpipes or fall head-first out of trees to get a nice picture. I wouldn’t do none of that shit wasted as fuck, let alone sober.

Conclusion: Art ppl= hardcore as peaches

So we know everyone is excited for Spring Awakening to return to Broadway… but isn’t it also awesome that it’s going to feature Deaf actors and American Sign Language? This video about making a Deaf musical is fascinating!

Convo 1 Me: So you went to dance school for 3 years? that's cool. Boy 1: Yeah. I stopped when I started acting professionally, got to be too much work. Girl 1: Like Oh my god, I think she turned down that show Girl 2: I have a friend in that show. Boy 1: I know like 5 people in the city Girl 3: I only know like 2 people. Girl 1: I can't believe she turned down that role. Girl 2: I think it was an off-Broadway show. Boy 1: It was. THESE ARE CHILDREN PEOPLE. CHILDREN!!! THEY ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 12. Well fuck me that I didn't start stage managing when I was seven. My friends tell me I shouldn't be butt hurt because if I started handing my parents paperwork and telling me where the furniture should go they probably would have through I was crazy.
