i swear to god NOTHING makes me more pissed off then when everyone is like “oouheuehghoughough ough [thing] is so good it’s a classic you’ll love it” and they say it SO OFTEN that you resolve on principle to loathe [thing] with your entire being but when you actually get around to experiencing [thing] it literally IS That Good. physically trembling with rage at the fact that hamlet actually is one of the best plays ever written. DIE

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!

this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).

pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

in middle school i knew a guy named alexander hamilton because his parents just thought it would be nice to name their son after a historical figure but then this poor guy went through hell because he was 13 years old in 2015 and his name was alexander hamilton

The thing with amateur local theater is it is almost always bad BUT keeping it alive is the most important thing

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

The joys of artistic expression cannot be limited to talented people everybody needs it to survive

[nirruti]

This is such a hilarious take we should give untalented people who make bad art money you know just because guys

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

Exactly. Glad you understand 💗

"we have the ability to change people's minds and hearts - that's what we want to do with theatre. that's what theatre does... period."

absolutely heartbroken to hear about the passing of gavin creel.

gavin was truly one of broadway's greatest talents and he was taken from us far too soon.

Spring Awakening 2001 Workshop

The 2001 Workshop of Spring Awakening.

as heard in this workshop, gavin was also the first melchior. this was only a small part of an incredibly successful career for him, but it was my personal introduction to his voice and his work.

broadway will truly miss him. rest easy, gavin.

[unironicallyconfused]

I barely just understood that the reason Jane Doe looks like that throughout the entire show is because she's using the head of the porcelain doll she's holding as a substitute for her own missing head (hence why her doll is missing her head, not just for ✨aesthetics✨ lmao)

The best thing about being a theatre kid is that when you could never actually "leave" a fandom, because theater is technically just a big fandom,

you have a hyperfixation, stop watching it, float around watching/looking at other theatre content you've seen beforr, find a new hyperfixation and repeat
