Ok so far the SCAB writers have

Given us a Terry/Yuri kiss

Had Ava fess up to Sonny so we can get at least ONE of these storylines moving

Shirtless Chase

And gave Dante one of the funniest lines he’s ever delivered

So far so good I think?

If they fix Sasha's storyline, as well as Sprina's, then I'll applaud them.

I’m a little confused. Are Finrod; the rock opera and The Lay of Leithan two separate musicals? Cuz looking at their Vk pics I see pictures of what I thought were from lay of Leithan on the Finrod page and Vice versa?

(Also if you have any links to some English subbed YouTube videos I’d appreciate them 🙏🏻)

They are two separate musicals! But I understand, they do appear similar in photos.

Do be careful though, the rivalry between the Finrod and Leithian creative teams runs deep. The fandom doesn't care, we love them both, but just be aware.

The Finrod rock opera was written in the early 2000s, and has gained a lot of popularity recently- especially because they have an entire subtitled performance on YouTube! You can watch it here.

They have also started broadcasting their performances live! Right now we have 6 recordings- 4 from late 2022, and 2 from last weekend. They are not subtitled, but I'm working on it, I promise. If you are interested in purchasing them, message me and I can arrange it. You can follow along using @quixoticanarchy's Ao3 translation as external subtitles.

In the meantime, here is a clip from a performance of Finrod in October 2022, as a preview.

The Lay of Leithian rock opera is more recent- it was written as a one-woman bardic performance in the early 2000s, but it was adapted into a musical in late 2020, and celebrated its 2nd anniversary this past weekend. They have 6 recordings in total, 3 of which are fully subtitled (I'm hoping to publish another set of subtitles this weekend). You can find that full list here, which includes purchase links. Subtitles are always free.

The last one on that list- the oldest- I have made available for free on YouTube. It was their first time broadcasting and has a lot of sound issues and a missing section, but I have lovingly recorded and restored it to the best of my ability.

I've also published a bunch of subtitled Leithian clips on Tumblr- you can find them in my subtitles tag, here.

.

Hope this helps? I'm always happy to answer any questions you have about either of them.

Omg there were two blogs on this site that flooded all the Cumberbatch related tags with those psychotic theories. I reported both as spam cuz in this day and age saying things like that can make the people involved unsafe!

Report and block!

I have most of this ppl blocked so I don't have to see their bs, thank goodness.

He's having new project after new project, so his career is not declining as they predicted. The last movie with Wes Anderson announcement must be so confusing for them.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you think there’s any chance at all that we’ll see White Vision in Doctor Strange 2? That seems the most likely place he’d turn up next if at all. Sidenote I’m just really happy Paul Bettany is still in the MCU I honestly was afraid he’d be done with it after Wandavision.

I kind of hope so--I mean, of course I want to see him, but I am worried that they’ll handle him as they did AoU through IW. In tiny snippets where all of his actual character development is in between movies and different writers seem to have vastly different interpretations on the character. If that’s the case, in an ideal world I’d rather they hold off on him until there’s enough space to explore and develop his character.

@ladyrock18 replied to your post: “ Would you consider The Snow Queen fairytale to be...”

@lady-janet I didn’t even think about the heart of stone / glass in the eye thing! Good comparison!!!!

Strangely enough, that is the only part of The Snow Queen that I remember with any kind of clarity. I’ll have to read it again one of these days and see what other Tam Lin parallels/comparisons I can find.

How do you think Webber feels about the monstrosity that is the restaged tour? I’m asking because if he fights Cammack for production rights would he be able to make any changes he wants or would it only be for the West End?

From what I know, the restaged tour was pretty much all Cameron Mackintosh’s doing, with little to no involvement from ALW. How ALW really feels about it is known only to him, but from what I’ve read from other fans (which, fair warning, is only speculation), he has not spoken much about it and does not care for it, and still has great affection for the original.

But I don’t think having the restaged tour, at least the one that last toured the US, is a worry no matter who “wins” the battle over Phantom. What’s more likely is that the original will be replaced by the modified UK tour that began playing in February 2020 and was prematurely closed. However, ALW’s tweet was that he wanted to bring back the original, so unless he goes back on his word, that’s what he seems committed to doing.

As for whether any changes would make their way to other productions... that I do not know. International productions tend to follow the Broadway production, and on Broadway, the man keeping the show as close to the original was possible was Hal Prince. With him gone, it’s hard to say. I know he has some “successors” in terms of resident directors and stage managers, but how much influence they might have to keep changes from happening is unknown.

So as usual, we’re just going to wait and see what pans out.

I wonder what it was like back then sneaking in a big old camcorder or something into a theatre to film a boot? Lol

Seriously! I’ve thought about this a lot and have never quite managed to wrap my head around it.
