pierre’s character arc of “i wanna die” (‘pierre’) to “so what if i die?” (first half of ‘the duel’) to “aw man i didn’t die?” (end of ‘the duel’) to “is this how i die?” (‘dust and ashes’) to “maybe i don’t wanna die (‘pierre & natasha’) to finally “i’m alive and life is wonderful!!” ('the great comet of 1812’) is one of the most beautiful character developments to exist in all of contemporary musical theatre, reblog if you agree

musical theatre challenge: [3/10 performers] ↳ denée benton

When you’ve got incredibly xenophobic type of civil leaders, the media and film and theater have the power to transcend that nonsense and red tape. You can make a TV show normalizing the way a family looks. We should never be comfortable with erasing people from color to the story. There’s never been a time on this planet where people of color didn’t fully participate in civilization. I have a hard time of enjoying any type of story that doesn’t include a story of a person of color, because it’s not the reality. I’m really over the Golden Age of Hollywood, a beautiful white woman and handsome white man — I’m ready to see a trans-woman save the world from aliens!

Surrounded and sprinkled on all sides by stars shines The Great Comet of 1812

All of my life I spent searching the words of poets and saints and prophets and kings Now at the end all I know that I’ve learned is that all that I know is I don’t know a thing

I spent a lifetime seeking signs, reading lines But I know now that I know, I know now that I know nothing

Renée Elise Goldsberry (Sbjct):

PC Your role as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton shines a spotlight on another important woman in history whose story was relatively unknown until recently. Do you think that role prepared you for Henrietta?

REG Distilled into its purest state, acting is an act of service. When I started the journey of being an actor and storyteller, I was not able to articulate that. Then I was blessed with Hamilton, and given the honor of playing Angelica Schuyler. Like Henrietta, Angelica was a powerful woman that we don’t know about, and we should.  These women can teach us so much. And playing them could have been a very daunting task. There is a huge responsibility to get it right. But Thomas Kail, the director of Hamilton, used to always remind us that some stories are bigger than all of us. Some stories are so powerful and so ready to be told that we can’t mess them up. Having experienced Hamilton helped me recognize that same power in Henrietta immediately. It is freeing to forget about yourself and just be grateful for the honor of introducing the world to a powerful woman who is ready to be known.
