its kaeruu yap time again. this time it's a play by play of the rtc production i saw today. its midnight and im extremely ill about this show so here. a comprehensiveish list of things i liked about the show
(not even close to)EVERYTHING I LIKES ABOUT MY RTC
karnak is played by a woman and she is the most MESSY BITCH EVER. also her robotic style movements were INCREDIBLE!!! She like genuinely looked like an animatronic it was freaky but also cool!
her tone of voice during "family fun novelty mode" and like tbh that whole monologue was sick
virgil was such a goofy stagehang and he slayed agressively. the virgil mask was sooo funny
karnaks costume and wig were also just gorgeous
during uranium ocean kept stepping infront of noel and noel kept looking at her like "bitch?" it was so funny
the most gorgeous harmonies ever. this group blended so beautifully omgggg
i just love uranium suite ok?
during minor turn, the karnak talking bit (its called minor turn still in the music but its still uranium on the spotify n stuff) they had this lovely mime of like buying rollercoaster tickets and getting on it was silly
they did the same roller coaster pose as the original does just with a different order
ricky coming in during the "sailing through space" bit and being SOOO loud such an incredibly strong voice
uranium is one of my faves i think its jist such a perfect opening number.
every ocean and karnak interaction was fantastic karnak was soooo sarcastic and such a diva. they're both bitches/pos i love them. the girls sre fightinnnggggg
"if only you hadnt blown those three questions right at the top" deapan is so funny
all of the nonverbal characterization during that first scene with the introductions is sooo good and so hard too. mad props to their mischa esp
"being the only gay man in a small rural high school is kinda like having a laptop in the stone ages. i mean sure you can have one, but there's nowhere to plug it in"
generally noel being a lot more confident then kholbys version. like more of a diva, less of a shy gay boy yk? both are fab but his actor ate so hard
"ricky you can talk?" "thats nothing watxh this" in the actual script it just says 'do somethint cool' and ricky decides to do that trick whete you like move your elbow joint around from your back to front its awdul to watch but very in character
noel hitting the same poses as kholby basically when announcing the prizes
"aunlight beings another day" just slaps so hard im mad it isnt in the album
janes entrance, her just basically poking everyone. legit the directors note for her was "baby with a watermelon head" and thats how she walks its so funny
ricky just stares at her in awe during that (this show he canonically has a big fat crush on her :3 spacedolls enjoyers rejoice)
karnaks booth will occasionally go closed to let the actor rest but whenever theres tea on stage it reopens like the messy bitch she is <3
oceans stupid little speach before wtwn
"ocean conceades." "she does what?" is so funny
during all the intros they have absolutely AWFUL pics of all the characters (school ID style) on the cyc. they are so damn funny
during wtwn "this one here hes raring to fail" and also rickys bit mischa and ricky are both so dang funny with their silent acting. mischa flips everyone off it's hilarious
halfway thru the song costume chane everyone is in colourful gospel robes thats spell out ocean on the back, durin the "0 or 0 or 0 or 0" bit they all turn and reveal that to the audience
karnak scolding ocean about the human pyramid thint (not typing out the whole line rn too lazy) is sooo damn funny im actually obsessed with their karnak
oceans charactizaion is so funny she looks like shes barely holding it together at all times and fake smiling her way thru its hilarious
the entire i love you guys bit <3
"no one gets to play the tamborine. theyre always made to plau the tambourine. no one want to go home with the tambourine guy." such a banger line omgggg
"nooooeeeel i love youuu. you challenged my preconceived notion that all gay dudes are fun to be around" eyeroll
her standing basically on too of noel on the same chair when she sings, she teies to push him off but he doesnt move so she gets up anyways
"sweet jesus christ on a bike make her stop" the delivery is perfect
"his mother realized two things" gay ass pose "the second-"
the "i hear it gives you and erection" scene was SO DAMN FUNNY cause he still had the wand from the harry potter bit so he holds it infront of his crotch and jus wide stance its so funny "or we could just go to the manger josep?"
noels whole monologue is so silly goofy i just love it
THE WORLDS MOST AWFUL HORRENDUS PICTURE YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE OF NOEL IN A TACO BELL UNIFORM APPEARS ALONG WITH THE TACO BELL DONNGGGGG (this made me loose my shit no clue why) "wots that?"
"god dAMN IT can u keep it in ur pants for one second you horrible sucubussssssssssssss" he just holds that s for forever "ssssssss" then after he like hissed like a cat it was so funny
his noels lament was a litle more forceful, a little more assertive and a little angrier which honestly i loved
the girls had fansssss. they covered noel with fans as he changed
he wore a tiny lil purple laungerrie set it was so cute honestly looked a bit like pjs lmao. complete w fishnets and the monique bob
"ten times in his back" hes hugging mischa from behind :3
the dance sequence. he like passes a rose to mischa from his teeth. also. fully. stops the music. JUST SO THEY CAN KISS LONGER IT WAS SO DAMN FUNNY. they made our for like 10 secs bro
also for some reason hes just slapping everyones asses lmao i swear its half the choir by the end of the song
after the "take lovw where u can" verse he fully. straddles misch in the chair and AGAIN THE STOP THE MUSIC as the girls with fans cover then, then resumes as noel gets off
ALSO noel did some just GORGEOUS deviations from the music with some runs during the "so now i sell my love for opium" verse and i about died they were so damn gorgeous
also they were ripping up their fishnets the whole time it was so funny
can you tell who my fave is?
fully laying on top of ricky's knee during the priest section
pulling a kholby, making the down to me riff just wayyyy oonger then it needs to be
i saw some choreo during the beginning of the last verse that reminded me a lot of the benjamin michael hall noels lament like the ground choreo idk it was silly
the standing on the chair during the high note always gets me GRAAHHHH THEY DID SO GOOD ON THOSE HIGH NOTESSSSSSS WHAT A DIVA
madwickedawesome (their mischa they chatacterize him as much more energetic and sillier which was so goofy to watch esp if ur used to like the gus halper mischa)
"i liked it when the two boys kissed" and noel mouths to constance "me too" LIKE DIVAAAAAAAAAAAAA
aHEM "not always in heels" mishca just looks noel ip and down <- gayyyyyyyyyyyy
"fornicatioj under consent of the king" looong pause. constance: "why?" isk it just got me
"not in my bible baby bonsoir" and like smacks oceans ass like diva whattttt
confident noel for the win like omg i eat itnuo every time
the stupid "i might do and or deal recreation drugs" improv scenero bit eith ocean and constance is so funny. rigjt after every storys got a lesson its so solly
"im still thinking about when the two boys kissed" constance the fujo you are <333333
miscja yapping bout drag race "tey to put mischa in box he breaks out every time" i smell bisexual. ik the 'box' is probably supposed to be homophobia and hes sayinf he breaks out and isnt but i say mischa is bi sooo
for no reason at all mischas monologue is soo funny but also sad. dude when he started talking about talia he sounded like he was gonna cry and mee too bro me too
awesome is always so much fun. omg dude constance was jist HITTING IT during tje dance breaks she ateeee so hard
once again cried during rhe talia monologue
the director talked about how all these songs were what the kids never got in their lives. talia is choreographed like a weddint. putting my hands on your shoulders talia is mischas wedding he never got
talia is played by jane in a veil and headdress
ill never not cry at talias vocals dam. rhe sheet amount of passion and love omg
mischa you tragic tragic lad
ok halfway break cause its almost 1 now and im only here
after talia, no one says anything mischa just runs to noel and hugs him
the "do you wanna know what could have happened with talia" is cut from the script now and tbh its better how it is now. the transition to ricky going is a little strange tho
rickys actor was fantastic though. perfectly showing the nerdy aspect the quiet aspect and the sexy and confident aspect!
sabm costume were FABTASTUC OMG SO PRETTY
i will also forver be eating that rickys voice it was so damn beautiful the entire time
there isnt much to say about sabm it just was perfection. best ricky and best sabm i ever did see like holy shit
"we listen to you now space jesus"
the silver surfer bit </3
"i could never come down" "my turn" "aw man"
janes entire intro is soo spooky
yk how everyone had awful school id pics shown during their intros, jane had a "no photo found" and like the grey no profile guy. heartbreaking
just like what i was saying about talia for mischa, ballad is what jane never got in her life. ballad is janes funeral. crying
her voice holy fucking shit
also not much to say about ballad bc damn it was like perfection
hehe ballad of jane doe is a lament and noels lament is a ballad :3
her last high note shes sitting and reaching for the stage ligjts (life) omg ahes so tragic
jusy. just the concept of the new birthday song. it makes me happy
after jane wanders away, some of the choir want to go comfort her but ricky gestures like i got this
during janes convo abour savanah with ricky. she looks the most human she does in the entire show. lemme repeat
when talking to ricku about the name savanah she looks the most human she does in the entire show
constance and oceans fight is actually everything to me yeah fight back girly. let her know thays bot freaking ok
jus. constances monologue
it makes me cry so much ok? i actually started ceying here during their show it was sobbing ugly crying too
sugar cloud makes me feel feelings. also constances voice was SOOOO GOOD HOLY SHIT SHE IS SUCH A STRONG ALTO SHIIIITTTTT
her hugging ocean right after sugar cloud then ocean gestures to everyone to hug her also its so sweet. they are my everything
ocean and karnaks moment of before she picks jane.
jane HANDS HER HEADLESS DOLL TO CONSTANCE BEFORE SHE WALJS INTO LIFE I AM CEYINT
i genuinely dont have words for game/ride. sich a beautiful closing number. the actors do their best to make eye contact with everyone audience members
dude i feek like im the person theyre singing too ij that song man. its for me. idk game/ride always makes me cry too is beautiful and the harmonies are fantastic as usual.
and jane returning to stage as penny, with tickets to the cyclone. OUUUUU IT MAKES ME FEEL FEELINGS
WOW THAT WAS NOWHERE CLOSE TO WVERYTHING I LIKED ABOUT THE SHOW, jusy what sleepy me remembered. now a few tidbits of after the show!
so i brought art pieces for the whole cast its in a separate post iirc
but basically noel was out getting donations and 1. RECOGNIZED ME from when i did a class with the theater on rtc. we sang noels lament together at one point
and 2. when i showed them the art they ASKED ME TO SIGN IT. LIKE LEGIT. EVEN BEFORE I ASKED RHEM TO SIGH THE OROGRAM. chat i am not ok
theu were incredibly sweet and asked me for a hug too like AHHHHH i got to gush about their performance and all the tiny details about their portrayal of him, like their tiny nervous habits and stuff how hes mt dream role n such fantastic and amazing guy frfr
so now that noel knows me by name and hopefully has the print somwhere in their house.
all the other actors were incredible i gave them all prints as well and rhey were incredibly sweet. ocean saud it was going on her wall and constance said she looked like an anime character
yeah. 10/10 show. uhh its really late now ive been making this post for over an hour and i ahould go to sleep but go wagxj rtc please
(ps. @cerubiaid i am tagging you cause ik toull wanna see this :3)
