you can like and agree with erik phantom of the opera’s decisions in his private life without enjoying his opera it's called seperating the art from the artist

the less reason any given christine has to break up with raoul the funnier the situation is. like obviously relationships are always more complex than "ah! you've earned enough Divorce Points to redeem 1 Breakup" but like... oh you're like a conventionally beautiful AND generationally wealthy suitor who ALSO somehow is not like a completely warped demonic being despite the overlap of those traits? you're very genuinely trying your best to understand me and accomodate my emotional and material needs? you're down for cunnilingus and you'd pay my rent forever and wouldn't even be like "christine we should move in together like couples do" because you're being patient with me??? Cool. i have to go suck dust out of the lich though. sorry. yeah the one with all the felonies

[opera-ghost]

on some shit you couldn’t even begin to fathom

[demonbarberofbeepbeep]

I had a dream that Lucy and sweeney jumped into hell at the end of the show together but it was Ruthie Ann Miles and Johnny Depp for some reason

[demonbarberofbeepbeep]

I have the entire plot of sweeney todd 2: love never pies laid out and rotating in my head and I really want to write it but I only get 8 minutes of free time per day so it might not be done until I'm 50 years old

actually, the central romance of Music Man makes more sense if Harold Hill is wildly desirable, floats from town to town selling the Brooklyn Bridge on the strength of his charisma and how much everyone wants to fuck him.

mostly because that means when he shows up in river city and hears that Marian the Librarian seduced a secure and permanent position out of the elderly town miser, he would think: ah, another creature like me.

(not that “sadder and wiser girl” isn’t a phenomenal song on its own, but it takes on a different tenor if it’s game recognizing game rather than HH just refusing to go after nice, church-going girls.)

plus, leaning into that characterization would mean that marian is sadder and wiser, did in fact befriend (or seduce) specifically to have access to books and then later, to keep accessing them; she’s a con man too, just on a lesser scale due to lack of opportunity.

romance between two people who think of sex as largely a way of getting what you want, except that one of them likes to read, and the other can play the piano by ear.

also….who are we kidding when it comes to her ‘‘little brother’‘ Winthrop.

[notbecauseofvictories]

#let’s all be honest: marian and her mother left to “help out a cousin in Chicago” and then came back with a baby     #marian only ever referred to this baby as her brother. mrs. paroo only ever called him her son.     #but if you were the family doctor. or maybe someone who knows a little bit about gestational math and menopausal women.     #you might have some follow up questions.     #anyway stay tuned for other hot takes about this american musical from the 1960s.

“What’s the other thing I’m entitled to know?”

[Harold Hill gazes meaningfully at Marian, then looks back to Winthrop]

“Well, the other thing’s none of your business, come to think of it.”

I’ve seen both Josh Groban and the understudy Nicholas Christopher. Nicholas Christopher’s version of Sweeney is also excellent but I feel like the funniest change is he was OVERTLY disgusted with Lovett’s advances at every turn. Like where Josh Groban was thousand yards staring in catatonic depression during By The Sea, he was like 🤢😡😾

this reminds me I saw Chess with my mom and I was like "yeah and that guy was sweeney todd, he was so scary" and she was like " NO WAY, HE WAS SO DARLING AND GENTLE AND SWEET, THERES NO WAY HE WAS SWEENEY" and I showed her and she was like D:

“The red on my nails is the result of Johanna's self harm that she puts herself through to kind of, you know, take her mind away from all the turmoil in her life, with, you know, being captive by Judge Turpin and that awful reality that she has. Me and Tommy Kail just kinda came together and thought this would be an interesting and gruesome little easter egg for Johanna.” - Maria Bilbao

SHE NEEDS TO GO TO CONEY ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
