notable be more chill moments (7/15/19)
i havenāt been in the bmc fandom in a couple of years, but i finally got to see it on broadway today!! i havenāt been following the show too closely since the exit 82 run, so here are some fun little things that happened that surprised me (aka, were different from the original off-broadway run!)
the set is gorgeous! much more complex than the original
canon bi jeremy?? (āhhh girls!! BOYS!!ā in more than surviveās instrumental break)
christine was adorable. i understand why jeremy was in love with her
THE BACKGROUND PROJECTIONS!! tpg was super cool bc the projections made it look like they were in a real Bideo Game
gerard was on for jeremy that night! he fit the role surprisingly well (and of course,Ā ādonāt touch me, tall-ass!ā was changed toĀ āshort-assā for this performance)
he posted that heād been a little sick on ig i think?? but he didnāt really sound like it, except during some falsetto notes that were a bit raspy
he was v sweaty. like, wet patches appeared on his costume from where he was clutching at it duringĀ āloser, geek, or whateverā
gerard had a mic malfunction, it sounded as if something was stuck/caught on his mic, muffling it?? so to remedy this, joel waggoner (on in place of jason sweettooth williams) brought a can of compressed air into the payless scene and did a whole bit where he used the can to intimidate jeremy by spraying him, when in reality he was spraying the mic to clear it up! i didnāt realize this wasnāt a part of the show until i later saw someone who had seen todayās show comment on its unusualness!
