Started off with snake videos.
Ended all soft with cats and watercolors
Now you’ve made me all nostalgic and I did not ask for this
beginning of the album vs the end?
I was JUST thinking how it started all dark and it’s now watercolors and cats and I’m emotional.
IM CRYING
Very perceptive of you…
Me: I can't wait for my CD to come!
Uncool friend: Sick! What band?
Me: Original Broadway Cast
us: happy 3rd birthday shake it off
taylor: :) GET WRECKED BITCHES (:
remember this fandom said we were ready for ts6 cause of how long it’s been? I call bullshit, we all square up but shit like this happens and LOOK AT US, WE BECOME MESSES! WE NEVER READY! TAKE US TAYLOR TAKE US.
okay but think, JUST THINK, why is this happening on the 1989/Shake It Off anniversary announcement???? WHY? and also, remember that GMA THINGY that said Taylor would be on GMA on August 19? GUYS.
full offense but I’m getting pretty darn sick of y'all obsessing over your gay ships in the most Heterosexual™ shows ever while sleeping on actual queer theatre
"Not all men..."
you’re right. ben platt wouldn’t treat me like this
I believe in giving people bootlegs they really want, even if they have nothing to trade, because the whole point of bootlegs is making sure that people who were not able to see their favourite musical for whatever reason get to experience the parts of the show they don’t get from the soundtrack. Bootlegs expand the musical theatre audience to those who live far from New York, or don’t have the money to pay for tickets; people who just want to see their favourite actors or their favourite shows however they can. It is cruel to keep that from someone who so passionately loves musical theatre. Broadway is all about inclusivity so include those people who are not privileged enough to go to Broadway! Much appreciated.
Hey, reblog/like if anyone out there has watched a boot but is still dying to see the show live, it just doesn’t work out financially, geographically, or timewise (it’s already off Broadway/tour). I’m trying to make a fucking point.
LGBTQ+ Representation in the 2017 Broadway Season
For a long while, Broadway has been considered somewhat of a haven for the LGBTQ+ community (the past few years, though, have been monumentally lacking). For this post, I’m making a list of LGBTQ+ representation currently on Broadway. This will not include fanon opinions or implied LGBTQ+ characters. I’m talking about characters who either say “I am LGBTQ+/not cis/not straight” outrightly or are seen/discussed as being in a relationship with a same-gender character. I will also only be discussing musicals, as plays have very, very limited accessibility.
Shows that I have not seen before and/or do not have enough information/knowledge to confirm one way or another are labeled with a question mark. If you know about any LGBTQ+ representation in these shows, please reblog with that information, and I’ll update this post accordingly! Also, if I have missed or somehow misinterpreted any representation, please send me an ask, or something, just tell me, and I’ll make the appropriate changes!
Here we go! Happy pride!
A Bronx Tale -?
Aladdin - None.
Amelié -?
Anastasia -?
Bandstand -?
Beautiful: The Carole King Musical - Nope.
Cats - Nada.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - No.
Chicago - All straight and cis here.
Come From Away - A lot of non-straight characters are in this show! Two of the most prevalent supporting characters are an interracial gay couple! Also, LGB (sadly, no transgender/nonbinary/or otherwise non-cis characters are ever mentioned) family members are mentioned by various other characters. No discussion of non-cis people, though, and all non-straight characters are supporting, not lead.
Dear Evan Hansen - :/// None.
Falsettos - The best! The greatest! The lead character is a Jewish gay man who is in love with another Jewish gay man! Also! An interracial lesbian couple!! The most representation of LGBTQ+ people on Broadway since Fun Home. (Still no non-cis people, though.)
Groundhog Day: The Musical - There is a very minor gay character in this show.
Hamilton - Noooope!
Hello, Dolly! -?
Kinky Boots - Yes! The secondary main character, named Lola, is a self-described “drag queen”–which, of course, is not, under any circumstances, the same as a trans woman–who mostly uses she/her pronouns and, if my memory is correct, is attracted to men and women.
Miss Saigon -?
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 - Nope, nope, nope. (Apparently, at one point, Dave Malloy may have confirmed Anatole to be bisexual, but this is never explicitly mentioned or confirmed in the show itself).
On Your Feet! -?
School of Rock: The Musical - Yes! The parents of one of the main characters are gay!
Sunset Boulevard -?
The Book of Mormon - There is a gay male supporting character who eventually overcomes his internalized homophobia and leads a self-accepting life.
The Lion King - No.
The Phantom of the Opera - Not at all.
Waitress -?
War Paint -?
Wicked - Nope.
Simply put, there’s a lot of work to be done on Broadway, in relation to LGBTQ+ representation, as well as representation overall.
Elle Woods was hollering back before the movement. This is why i love this movie. It’s so progressive. Elle is a femme feminist who comes by it the hard way. She doesn’t change for the bookish people, the elitists, or for the feminists. She just does what she needs to do, and what she wants, even when at first it was chasing a boy. Then the movie drops the romance. IT DROPS THE ROMANCE. chick flicks don’t do that. Emmett asking her out is a footnote at the very end. And this whole time, she is classy, and lady like, and has pride in herself and her work. She’ll go to a costume party as a playboy bunny, but like hell will she sleep with her professor for an internship. Elle is my feminist role model
Elle Woods 4ever
I remember listening to my DAD defend Legally Blonde. An uncle was saying “Oh look, it’s that stupid movie again.” as he flipped through the channels. My dad responded with “Oh yeah, that movie where the blonde girl with great grades works really hard to get into pre-law, studies hard and proves herself to her peers and bosses while maintaining her integrity and not sleeping with her boss? What a terrible message to send girls.”
Also, I love this movie because Reese Witherspoon.
And don’t forget that she has serious female friends and wins the case by way of her specialist knowledge of so-called “feminine things” that no one else takes seriously enough to even bother with.
The movie also passes the Bechdel test.
LET’S NOT FORGET that even though it starts with a situation where two girls are rivals for the same guy, they BOTH choose to ignore the social codes (and hollywood bylaws) that tell them they should be cat-fighting and trying to one-up each other, and instead they realize that they make good working partners and better friends and screw rivalry, AND ALSO HAVE EACH OTHER’S BACKS RE: WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARASSMENT. And that it portrays sororities as places where women can learn to work together and respect each other and help each other out, which sets the stage for the way Elle treats everyone she meets for the rest of the movie. OH AND IT HAS A FAT SIDE CHARACTER WHO OVERCOMES EMOTIONAL ABUSE, IS NEVER FAT-SHAMED OR USED AS THE BRUNT OF A FAT JOKE, AND LANDS THE HOTTEST MAN IN THE ENTIRE FILM.
ALL. OF. THIS.
LEGALLY BLONDE IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE FIGHT ME
