Staircase parallels in Hamilton/Bridges
hey guys!!
so, i finally made a website for myself, aspiring to become an actor/director and all. if you guys feel so inclined, i’d love for you to take a second look at it (spelling, links not working, aesthetic problems that maybe my mac doesn’t have but a pc/phone browser/ipad does). also, disclaimer, my head shots are SUPER old..i'm getting new ones taken on Tuesday. message me off anon and i’ll send you the link!!
audio gift!
An Evening with Rebecca Luker! i was lucky enought to see an idol of mine in concert at a university half an hour away on Sep. 13. The original Lily in The Secret Garden, Marian in Susan Stroman's The Music Man, Broadway's original Mrs. Winifred Banks, and so many more incredible credits. I'd like to share this beautiful woman and her gift with you!! The set list is as follows:
do you know where i can find the lyrics to He Forgave Me? I have most of the song figured out, but there's a few lines I'm still iffy about and I'm dying to know what they are
I have three different versions of this song (Williamstown Previews, Broadway before it was cut and Benanti’s Subculture) and all are slightly different, but considering the Broadway/Benanti ones came after, I assume they’re what JRB considers final. So here’s what I believe the lyrics are from those and I’ve added the Williamstown differences in brackets for you. There may be some errors - feel free to correct me!
He Forgave MeChiaraI told Ferruccio I was sorry with a voice like melted butterI swore I’d never even notice any other boy againAnd do you think he was a man and threw me back into the gutter?No, FrancescaHe forgave meI kissed Ferruccio and I still could feel my lover’s tongue caress meI washed ten kilos worth of laundry, cursing all these stupid menI made him gnocchi and reluctantly allowed him to undress meSo FrancescaHe forgave meMen are weak, men are blindMen believe whatever foolishness we feed themIf we ever should let on that we don’t need themThey crumble into dustMen are scared and inclinedTo allow a woman anything she wishesJust as long as we don’t make them do the dishesOr ask them to adjustAnd in a snap I’m back, Ferrucio’s wife and Angelino’s mother“But will I lie to him again?”, I think it isn’t if, but whenI’m sure he’s tortured in his soul that I surrender to anotherOh FrancescaHeaven save meI betrayed himAnd I shamed himStill FrancescaHe forgave meChiara & FrancescaWhat we do, what we take (Men are just little boys)Is a substitute for what we once expected (They start crying when their favorite toys get busted)A connection when our hopes are disconnected (Immature and far from ready to be trusted)In a way that we survive (No brains above their necks)Let it grow, let it break (They can sure make some noise)And return to our accepted definitions (Make him feel like a confessor and your savior)For a moment we were more than our relations (Let him justify his own obscene behavior)We’ve got to feel alive (So he can write the cheques) ChiaraYou think that marriage is uncompromised, a sacrament, anointedBut what was passionate goes past within a year, or five, or tenYou’re so concerned with being perfect that you’re always disappointedHe won’t notice (So your actions)Or outlive you (Will outlive you)Chiara & FrancescaHe’ll be hurt (They’ll be hurt)He’ll be lost (They’ll be lost)ChiaraBut you knowHe’ll forgive you
