THEY!! ARE!! DOING!! A!! DPS!! THEATRICAL!! ADAPTATION!! IN ROME!!!! THIS WEEKK!!! AND I'M GOING TO SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!
okay nobody asked but I NEED to talk about this.
let's start saying I loved it so much and it was SOO similar to the movie that I started seeing the actual actors and hearing their voices.
these are some points about it:
of course they forgot about our boy pittsie, but they called meeks "meeskie" so they kinda included him 😭😭
the lines were practically identical, even the breaths they took, EVERYTHING was perfect, even if some lines were switched from character to character
knox was called xanax by charlie ALL. THE. TIME. it was fucking hilarious.
meeks actor seemed so shy and cute I wanted to squeeze his face
cameron's actor even had the same haircut
they included ALL the deleted scene. including: the explanation of the four pillars (charlie coff coff said the discipline one bc meeks got too shy idk?? because he was asked first but he was stuttering for some reasons), the one where todd helps neil with his lines (even if mr perry interrupted them)(a girl behind me when todd said "what? shakespeare" said "what, me?" LIKE SHE REALLY KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING), the "I would replace your dad with mine", chris & knox's kiss (...BUT THEY DIDN'T PUT THE PARTY SCENE ✌️✌️ which was great, they did not make knox a creep at all, they wouldn't give a shit about their romantic story and I stand that), the meeting after the play (they even made keating read the poem where the frequent line was "have you washed in the blood of the lamb"), even the 'hoi polloi' line!! I mean the details they added
during neil's debut mr perry bumps into the stage and takes neil away in the middle of the scene (someone behind me whispered "you moron")
while the boys, keating, and chris were having the final meeting there was neil, who was turned, and the scene switched from todd who was reading his poem, and neil who acted the final puck monologue (that was my final fucking straw)
todd's parents gave him a yale cup for his birthday 😭😭
knox and charlie were literally the cutest, when knox was all hyped for the poem he read to chris he JUMPED on charlie!!! like on his back, and charlie was carrying him so adorably <3 these idiots
chris had brown hair and brown eyes, that was pretty hilarious
todd's actor always kept his eyes half close, he looked like either he didn't want to see what was happening or was just sleepy, and that made really sense to me
when chris and knox kissed someone said "OHH CMONN"
charlie was HELLA ATTRACTIVE, when it was the moment of the single bow everyone screamed for him, "WOOOOOOOO", i would have lost my voice for him
also charlie when he first saw chris he KISSED HER HAND??? LIKE BRRRUHHH WISH I WAS HER WTF
actually they were all pretty gorgeous, todd and neil had curly hair they were so cute!!
when charlie did the saxophone GOTTA DO MORE GOTTA BE MORE thing, the actor actually learned the EXACT sound of the one in the movie, even the fake little stupid notes at the beginning and then when he actually played it I saw charlie so much it actually made me cry.
at the todd's impromptu poem neil had THAT face and he stood up to clap for him
at the phone call from God keating was standing next to nolan secretly laughing (it was so cute)
when charlie said to todd neil was dead todd melted into his arms screaming :(
they didn't use the original musics, but for the final scene they actually put "keating's triumph" that made me really happy
all the actors were so awesome and so talented and I'm so happy they brought this to life again! I would come back to the theatre and watch it again if I had the chance.
