#shitty broadway

[booigi-boi]

I started reading the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and it made me remember this masterpiece exists

[probably-crying-over-the-village]

literally screaming at everybody “pete and ted can’t ever interact with each other, they’re played by the same actor : (“ DO YOU FORGET WHO WE’RE DEALING WITH HERE??

there are the insane quick changes of which we have: joey richter himself playing what i can only assume to be the entire population of independence (plus an ox) in one song:

and then, of course, the master himself, brosenthal, playing frankly 80% of the cast, but ESPECIALLY in this one scene. ONE SCENE:

“oh but joey left the scene for some of the quick changes in tto, he can’t do that if the spankoffski bros are supposed are supposed to have a conversation” FINE, the other option: just play two characters at once. which starkid has done before.

exhibit one, twisted. these two are not the same:

exhibit two, tgwdlm, a hatchetfield show. this already happened in a hatchefield show:

(also, it is two different characters, do not fight me on this. this scene is too confrontation from jekyll & hyde-coded to be the same character) SPEAKING off confrontation:

joey did already. play two different characters at once. i’m not here to argue the semantics or implications about personhood of saying confrontation and let it go has two different characters each, i’m just saying, acting-wise, there’s two distinctive characters in both songs. like. guys. absolutely joey could just simply play both of them simultaneously. they literally do this all the time. what’s your excuse now

I got distracted by reverse torture tango again

also because it's funny to me:

[aliceisaperson]

I think I’ve watched the shitty broadway version of agony because every time I listen to the actual song I expect to hear Joey’s little “what?” After the “agony far more painful than yours” line

My two sides

[either-way-it-means-something]

This is my Roman empire

[starcanwrecked-confessions]

me personally i think we sleep on joey richter's vocals too much. just rewatched confrontation and GOD he sounds so good as jekyll. cool as i think i am??? absolutely stunning. one step ahead and the coldest goodbye reprise???? completely destroys me.
