sat and seated for first preview of black swan….mr malloy has been spotted. I am so excited.

BRO WHERES THE REVIEW. SNED ME YOUR REVIEW RIGHT NOWWW

[shotbyafool]

Did you see the octet cast omfg……..I have so many thoughts #castmiapak but feeling like we must trust Dave and Lin.

Also not that he’s been ~niche~ for a long time but seeing that made me realize that Dave is really about to get Big. Finally winning his tony with Black Swan best musical 2028 btw

#castMiaPak but also it’s okay because Mia Pak will be in Girl, Interrupted which will either be middling or very good. only time will tell. plus it seems like they’ve already been working on this for a while so she was probably busy. but

I am very glad it was Groff and not Garfield (sorry), and if Tramell Tillman can sing then I’m going to lock that man in the Off-Broadway circuit for years after the movie releases. we are about to make you soooo big baby.

if Rachel Zegler brings about Dave Malloy’s Tony Award then I will never think an ill thought ever again. and/or if she convincingly plays gay in this film. but I remain skeptical …

New York Times readers share a moment when they have felt truly swept off their feet — or have been the ones doing the sweeping. (Bonus: more stories from the comments)

and one more thing. Streets are saying that Rachel Zegler is already cast in Octet (202X, dir. Lin-Manuel Miranda) and that Andrew Garfield is being eyed for it (presumably for Velma and Henry respectively), and when I say that that sent a cold chill down my spine... I'm sorry but those two are not weird enough for the show. they are not freakish. we need more freaks. #castMiaPak

Octet movie adaptation and Amber Iman in Black Swan……it’s a good day to be a dave malloy stan!

I'm getting scared now because too many people are talking about Dave Malloy. like why is it being discussed on Twitter, this should be a tumblr.com topic... plus, a true DaveMalloyhead would know that LMM should've decided to adapt Preludes instead but I don't even have time to get into it because I'm getting too overwhelmed. WHERE did you people come from!!!

the new Broadway cast recording of Ragtime is largely improved from its original (though Marin is above Caissie in my view), but “Success” lacks both Peter Friedman’s punchy delivery of “Right on the corner of Orchard and Rivington!” as well as Judy Kaye’s genuinely heart-twisting read of “Tateh wrapped her in his prayer shawl. What rabbi would disapprove?”. so flop.

Hadestown’s presentation of the “we’re going to tell this story over and over again” totally falls flat for me, but Ragtime’s “It will happen again and again and again” makes me fall to my knees instantly.

my favourite part of the teaser is that lestat is actually relatively mellow for most of it, like he takes louis’ teasing fairly goodnaturedly and talks about painful topics without spiralling or lashing out. even when he’s genuinely extremely upset by the book thing, he’s clearly trying to process it in his own way and even attempts to communicate his hurt instead of just getting vicious. but then he hears armand’s name from across the room and you can pinpoint the precise moment Hysterical Cunt Lestat logs back on. those two syllables is all it takes before he’s visibly deciding to be crazy again, and the very next thing he does is scream in a stranger’s face then storm out. after which point he presumably he went straight home to flush his mood stabilisers and shred his DBT workbook with his teeth, because mommy dearest is BACK and she’s ready to be WORSE THAN EVER!

Amber Gray's honestly got one of the best runs out of like, any theatre performer of the past decade. original Laurey in sexy Oklahoma!, original role in Hadestown who is impossible to separate from her, original role in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 who is impossible to separate from her, Banquo in Sam Gold's recent Macbeth even if it wasn't very good, Here We Are, Eureka Day, and the Warriors concept album. never seen someone be so booked but also have such excellent taste.

in the intervening months since I made this post, she has been in A Wrinkle in Time, Tartuffe starring Matthew Broderick, and is announced to play Riff Raff in the revival of The Rocky Horror Show. no one in the world is doing it like her.

*making small talk on a date* yeah tumblr has been really into the word ontological recently

[phantomrose96]

*continuing the topic despite all social cues* it’s usually as a denomination of “evil”, but there are other things that are ontological

[phantomrose96]

*remembering it’s polite to ask the date questions about themself* do you have any favorite things that are ontological?

the only person with the correct reaction to Heated Rivalry is ME. and the reaction is: this is bad television, but these are some of the blorbiest characters ever created.
