Evangeline Blanchard. 19 years old and currently attending AMDA. I'm an aspiring Broadway actress and I'll stop at absolutely nothing to achieve my dreams. Be sure to watch this space and bear witness to my rise to stardom

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

That’s a shame, since in such a different and dire situation, this might’ve been the most prudent time to be positive.

Fine then. But as soon as that changes, let me know. I have absolutely no shame when it comes to my body.

[evangelineblanchard]

I suppose, but it’s not. So whatever.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for that if I were you.

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

You never know until you try. Are you always this negative?

Because I’m ridiculously hot? Unless I’m mistaken, girls like looking at ridiculously hot boys.

[evangelineblanchard]

I’m not usually very negative at all. However, I do make exceptions during situations that I was literally sold into.

Yeah, I guess. But that doesn’t mean I want to see you naked!

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Would letting me call you one trick your brain into thinking you can tolerate me? Maybe? 

Fine, fine. Nudity that’s not you works too. Would seeing me naked make it easier for you to let me see you naked? Because I’m totally willing to take my clothes off.

[evangelineblanchard]

Or it would make me hate nicknames altogether. 

Great.  Oh my god, no!! Why would I ever want to see you naked!

Books are boring and take too long. Movies are way more fun and usually have more action, which is a plus, and besides, a lot of movies don’t come from books or comics or whatever and are still totally great. Haven’t you ever heard of a nickname before?

It’s rude that you won’t let me see the performance I want to see for your own silly reasons. And rude that you won’t let me watch a show with nudity. Nudity is a totally natural part of human life.

[evangelineblanchard]

Oh my god. We seriously seriously are never ever going to get along. I know what nicknames are. I only let my friends or at least people I can tolerate call me them though. 

I can show you a bootleg of the original Broadway cast performing Spring Awakening. I have no problem with nudity, I just have issue with letting you see me like that.

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Woah, really? Why do people bother writing something that’s just going to turn into a movie or whatever? Seems like a waste of time. What should I call you then, musical theater nerd?

You’re rude. Does anyone get naked in Evita?

[evangelineblanchard]

Aside from the fact that books are a wonderful thing, those movies do need source materials in order to make them in the first place. ..No..You should call me Evangeline, since that is my name after all.

That wasn't even rude, I was just being honest. And, no. I wouldn't have suggested it, if it did.

[evangelineblanchard]

I didn’t even know there was a Wizard of Oz book. Weird. Maybe musical theater can be pretty cool. You’ve got good tastes, Evange.

Why not? It’s just a performance, right? Are you really going to deny someone the pleasure of watching you perform?

[evangelineblanchard]

...the Wizard of Oz has an entire series of books and wicked was written by another author and that was also a series. Musical theatre is the coolest and don't call me that.

It is just a performance but I'm not letting you see one where my chest is out and I'm doing things. If you want to watch me perform so bad, I do have my high school production of Evita that you could watch.

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Woah, that’s hardcore! Who knew the Wizard of Oz came from a bad-ass story? 

I definitely don’t mind mild nudity or simulated sex in the slightest. You wouldn’t happen to have a recording of that performance anywhere, would you?

[evangelineblanchard]

I know right? That's the magic of musical theatre for you though, especially since the book is depressingly bleak in comparison.

Oh yeah, everyone in the cast received a cop-Wait! No way in hell am I letting you see me like that, even just in a performance. Never in a million years.

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

That actually makes sense in a really weird kind of way. Like they need to use all their life’s energy at once while cats only use up a 1/9 of their life each time.

So he was like an actual dude that got turned into a scarecrow? That fucking blows! He lost his humanity and his title like all in one day, but hey, what a player for getting both of the witches. Wicked sounds like the high school drama version of Wizard of Oz. They made a musical all about sex, with rock music? Now that I need to see. Is it good?

[evangelineblanchard]

Yeah, probably.

Yep, exactly. It’s even worse because the whole reason Elphaba had to turn him into a scarecrow was to save him while he was being tortured by the wizard’s guards. I guess it kind of is? Only it’s mostly in college and the second act is really just a different perspective of the events in the Wizard of Oz. They did! It’s amazing, I mean, if you don’t mind the mild nudity and simulated sex in the scene that takes place before and after the intermission. I starred in my school’s performance of it last semester and it was absolutely an invigorating experience!

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Oh my gosh, I didn’t even make the connection between reincarnation and having 9 lives. But who are we to say cats are the only animals that can do that? I bet dogs have more than one life- they’re too energetic for just one.

Arjiki isn’t a real place, and I know that Wicked is like the prequel to Wizard of Oz, or at least I thought I knew that, so are you telling me that the scarecrow has a name and a freaking title, too? That’s awesome! What musical is the other name from?

[evangelineblanchard]

Dogs are probably so energetic that they run out of liveliness too quickly to get multiple. Cat’s are chill enough to have multiple saved up. 

Neither is Oz, you’re right it is the prequel. Fiyero was his name before he got turned into the scarecrow. He was also engaged to Glinda the good witch until he left her for Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West. The other name is from Spring Awakening, which is a musical about the effects of discovering how confusing sexuality is during repressive late 19th century Germany, while set to alternative rock music that’s supposed to take place in a modern day “song world.”

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Oh. Fuck, I can’t believe they didn’t get the thing, they totally deserved it! Was that a more appropriate response? If it was a show about dogs and reincarnation, I bet it’d be a lot cooler.

Wow, those names are ridiculous. I kind of like Fiyero, though. Sounds like an Italian car.

[evangelineblanchard]

I guess, so. No it wouldn’t, it’d be even more ridiculous since dogs don’t allegedly have nine lives.

 Hey! I love those names, they’re from two of my favorite musicals. Fiyero is the name of the Arjiki prince and scarecrow from Wicked. It’s not even slightly Italian.

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Holler if you Hear Me; sounds legit! I have no idea what Tony noms are but right on. Oh. That makes sense as a title, I guess.

One really cute kitten coming up. What would you name it?

[evangelineblanchard]

Tony noms, are nominations for the Tony awards. The Oscars of the theatre world, if you will. So it’s not right on that they got robbed. The title is just as stupid as the show.

Thank you. Well, it would depend on the gender but probably either Fiyero or Wendla.

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Then I’ll have to sure your father for false advertising.

There’s a musical about Tupac’s music? No way! And if I liked Green Day, that’d be cool too. That cat one seems a little crazily weird- what’s it called?

Because I wanted to see what you like. And because even though I’m a dog person, I’d be fine either way, and now I want to get you a cat. Preference in color or species?

[evangelineblanchard]

If he told you I was ladylike, you really should.

Yes there is, it’s called Holler if you hear me. it closed last July though and kind of got robbed  by Tony noms this morning. The cat musical is called Cats...

Oh, okay.I don’t have any preferences really, aside from cute, I suppose,

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

You’re not even giving this a chance. Very unladylike of you.

So that is something they do, then? Record the actual thing or just remake it into a movie? And are all musicals about like operas and phantoms or are there any about anything cool?

Ugh, you couldn’t have said dog? Whatever, cats are cute too. We can arrange for a kitty for you.

[evangelineblanchard]

I never claimed to be ladylike.

They do both and most times only occasionally. Like, RENT, Into the woods, and Phantom have both, but there are some musicals that only have one or neither. There are musicals about almost everything, there’s one about the Green Day’s american idiot, one set to the music of Tupac and even one about a bunch of cats awaiting reincarnation and those are just the first three off the top of my head

If you wanted a dog, why’d you even bother asking if I wanted a dog or cat?

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

Not with that attitude.

Oh. They make movies of those too, though, don’t they? I remember my sister talking about some movie about a haunted opera and she said she was watching it on DVD. Fine, then. Whatever. Dog or cat?

[evangelineblanchard]

That’s the only attitude I’m going to have about this, so deal with it.

Occasionally. Phantom of the Opera has multiple versions of it on dvd though, the two most recent an actual movie and a recording of the 25th anniversary stage production. ...Um, I’m partial to cats.

[evangelineblanchard]

I still get to go to school right?

[prestoncalvert]

You think…oh honey, you’re never going to be happy if you keep thinking like that.

So what kind of musical are you talking about then? I have like every movie ever made or a way to get one if I’m missing it so maybe you should show me what you mean one of these days. Regular sized pigs are cute too but you can buy the kind that are tiny forever! They’re totally real and totally adorable.

[evangelineblanchard]

I’m never going to be happy if I have to marry you.

I mean Broadway musicals, the kind that take place on stage. Not movies. Teacup pigs are bad pets. I can’t remember the specifics but I know for sure I’ve seen articles on how it’s some for of animal cruelty on the part of the breeders.
