ok i’m making an entire post dedicated to bill from the guy who didn’t like musicals. why, you may ask?
well, corey dorris is a phenomenal actor and was absolute perfection for playing the role of bill. he made us laugh, made us cry and all things in between. he gives such a great performance that tugs at your heart strings.
he’s just so pure and too good for this world, he just wants to see mamma mia with alice
throughout the show we begin to know more about bill and start to love him even more (and we also see that he doesn’t like deb)
he really cares for his daughter alice, and all he wants is the best for her, and everyone around him for that matter. no matter how much of an idiot ted is towards him, we know that bill’s still going to be his friend and stand by him after.
and then comes the most emotional scene from the show, when he sees that alice has been infected. his face shows his emotions and sorrow, and he blames himself for being the reason that the infected got to her. and then, your own heart breaks when you hear alice say it is his fault.
and you’re left sadly bopping to not your seed, because it’s such a good song but if you actually think about what’s happening, it tears you heart in half in such amazing ways. corey’s acting is at it’s best at this point, and you can truly believe that he is actually sad.
look at his face. don’t you want to just give him a hug and reassure him that everything is okay?
and of course, he tries to kill himself because he can’t stand seeing his baby alice like this. then he dies right after paul tells him he isn’t going to let him die. and is killed by his own daughter. that is the most tragic death in starkid history, i don’t care what y’all think. the last thing he sees is his infected daughter and the last thing he hears is someone telling him he isn’t going to die. i actually was crying at this point.
in conclusion, corey dorris and bill are both underrated. and i want to thank nick and matt lang for writing the show and making such an amazing character. that is all, keep scrolling.
