well it’s been done, we’re officially down to ONE (1) Broadway-based video master thanks to people leaking videos on YouTube! One of the last remaining filmers quit releasing today after a leak. That is ONE person left filming broadway shows. y’all were warned again and again that the instant gratification of ‘sharing’ a video and having it right away would have long term consequences, and you just didn’t care. So now we have one. (Also for what it’s worth, very likely ZERO MORE beetlejuice videos that aren’t crappy phone boots because immediately following the leak of that video, the Winter Garden upped their security tenfold making it virtually impossible to get any recording equipment into the theater.) Hopefully this will make you see that keeping bootleg videos under wraps and out of the public eye is not about selfishness, or capitalism, or entitlement - it directly affects EVERYONE’S ability to have more videos in the future. Now that your actions have made a significant negative impact on LITERALLY ANYBODY who benefits from broadway bootlegs, I hope to god y’all will start respecting the one master we have left and protect her videos.

jessie mueller’s broadway credits really be like: *has a bad marriage, gets abused, is a single parent* *has a bad marriage, gets abused, is a single parent* *has a bad marriage, ge

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: if Deb is a ‘hardcore stoner’, why is the only line we ever hear her say ‘then maybe we’re out’ in reference to smoking weed? is she simply being protective of Alice’s clear discomfort and efforts not to get involved with these kids, putting her own love for weed aside to protect her girlfriend? contrary to this, however, Alice seems to be interested in Deb mostly because she’s rebellious and is, in fact, a stoner. she shows no resistance to Deb’s stoner tendencies and even brags about the rebelliousness of the relationship. is she only attracted to the idea of doing drugs in the context of her girlfriend? does she just think bad girls are hot? she is afraid of being pressured to do drugs by other teens but Deb discourages her from smoking and discourages the other teens from pressuring her. is it this protection from actually having to do drugs while still being able to have the bad girl image the reason she is with Deb? is she taking advantage of Deb’s insístance on keeping her safe to appear rebellious? Deb seems to be a very good girlfriend, but all of the description we get of her from other characters is as a stoner and kind of a bad kid. why is the only direct characterization we see of her a kind and nurturing action toward Alice? is this Deb’s true character? are we supposed to view Bill as an unreliable narrator who simply fears his daughter growing up? is Alice’s apotheosis lying about Deb’s drug habits to manipulate Bill into feeling guilty and like he’s lost control? is this initial scene between her, Alice, and the stoner kids meant to mislead us regarding Deb’s character and create more of a shock later on? is it to establish Deb as the one who will protect Alice over her father, causing her to flee to her for safety during the attack? is her dependence on Deb meant to be viewed as her downfall? or as a tragic loss of young love?

Jenny DiNoia holds the record for playing Elphaba the most times having done the role in 7 productions and 4 countries, while Jemma Rix has performed the role in the most countries (I think like 8?) and Willemijn Verkaik has done the most performances as Elphaba with over 2,000. Willemijn also has the record for playing the role in the most languages - English, Dutch, and German, and Louise Dearman is the only actress so far to have played both Elphaba and Glinda. Lindsay Mendez, Mandy Gonzalez, and Hannah Corneau are the only Elphabas of this decade to come into the role on broadway never having played it elsewhere before and Hannah (current) is the first actress to do so in 5 years

edit: Mandy Gonzalez had not played the role prior, not Caroline Bowman
