Owen Wilson: I had a nice conversation one day where I was talking with Tom and he quoted something, and I said, "Is that Shakespeare?" And he said, "Yes, Hamlet." And I was proud just that I got the Shakespeare part. - Marvel Studios Assembled. The Making of Loki

Most purpose is more burden than glory. You just choose your burden. And trust me, you never wanna be the guy who avoids it ’cause you can’t live with the burden.

I’m loving Season 2 so far!

While focused more on flair than historical I have to admit I adore the costumes of the musical. Especially the use of color theory, the musical is no novice when it comes to its very intentional use of red throughout the show but I want to talk about more. Specifically the final outfits Christian and Satine have for the last leg of act two

Christians primary colors are blues, from a bright robins egg to the dark purples of his first overcoat and scarf. It usually is paired with a black/grey waistcoat and dark blue pants. As the musical goes on he starts getting darker and darker in his clothing, his shirt starts to change entirely. By the end he’s in reds and blacks almost entirely. Roxanne he has a red striped shirt and a black leather trench-coat. This is also his lowest point, he is burried in desire, jealousy, confusion and confusion.

Satines final dress is stunning. It’s sort of illuminaient in three different colors at once. It’s her feelings and the feelings Christian (and the Duke) project onto her. Black and blue are her own colors but then it’s still retained the deep crimson of her Roxane dress. It also shines green- as I feel like the audience (and some actors) tend to forget Christian is still absolutely out of his mind drunk. The feelings are intensified, swirling and confusing one for the other- just as she’s equally caught in a world wind of progressing disease and the dukes rein.

I used to be incredibly pretentious about Jukebox musicals, until seeing moulin rouge. Really I think it’s the acception to the rule simply because it knows how to properly use the music it’s chosen. It also isn’t always word for word- they mash and mix as well as changing lyrics to better suit characters and situations.

Something I like particularly is how certain genres and artists work for certain characters.

Christian’s main songs come from Elton John. He gets the slower, sweet songs that have a underlying sadness to them. Love songs for the lover. But, he’s not all sweet and sad- he has an edge to him. Angst, jealousy. His other major songs are by The Police- a “edgier” music group, their songs tend to be darker.

The Duke’s main songs come from The Rolling Stones. His introduction to satine is a literal medley of their songs. The flash, the glamor, rock and roll! I’m a big deal and everyone should fucking know it! Them using Sympathy for the devil as his intro is actually everything.

Satine is a interesting case because she has a mix of main songs where it’s hard to draw the line. There’s “the sparkling diamond” and there’s Satine. Most of her songs are women lead numbers , unsure of their love and who had been scorned before. What’s love got to do with it? Love is a battlefield. Diamonds are forever is arguably more satine than her on stage— it’s about the vulnerability of knowing she’s used by men and most don’t genuinely care- how she can see right through all of them etc.

It’s that they properly know how to assign the songs to the characters and aren’t afraid to alter them. It doesn’t feel clunky and it fits! Despite being a historical musical. I have to love them for it
