This is not my circus. But these are my monkeys I’m responsible for now. And the guy whose circus this is is really abusing these poor monkeys… And everyone else in the circus… And I’m having an affair with his wife now, also.

Man I was just trying to hop a train

The secret to staying young? Not running away to join the circus. The road don't make you young...

Water for Elephants July 2024 Broadway - $8.75

Cast: Grant Gustin (Jacob Jankowski), Gregg Edelman (Mr. Jankowski), Isabelle McCalla (Marlena), Paul Alexander Nolan (August), Stan Brown (Camel), Michael Mendez (u/s Walter), Sara Gettelfinger (Barbara), Wade McCollum (Wade), Marissa Rosen (Sue), Brandon Block (s/w Caretaker), Samantha Gershman (s/w Vera), Antoine Boissereau (Silver Star), Gabriel Olivera De Paula Costa (Rex), Caroline Kane (Nurse Rosemary), Alexandra Gaelle Royer (Agnes), Paul Castree (Sal), Charles South (Worker), Isabella Luisa Diaz (Ensemble), Keaton Hentoff-Killian (Ensemble), Sereno Aguilar Izzo (Ensemble), Nicolas Jelmoni (Ensemble), Samuel Renaud (Ensemble), Sean Stack (Ensemble), Matthew Varvar (Ensemble)

Notes: MP4 format. Filmed from rear right mezzanine.  Mix of wide shots and zooms. Obstruction often from shooting as best I can around heads and the aisle railing. Decent amount of washout at times across the board. Only video with this specific camera as I didn’t find the zoom sensitive enough. NFS forever except through master and NFT through August 24, 2029.

ok what do we think. is this controversial at all (explanations below) template: https://tiermaker.com/create/w4e--water-for-elephants-musical-song-tierlist-18840594

ok i could actually make a full post yapping about why i love zostań so much so i'll save my thoughts on it for if i ever work up the courage to make that post. just know it's been my favorite since i first heard it :-)

i actually didn't care at all about anywhere/another train the first time i saw the show. i didn't really understand what was going on bc i am admittedly a bit slow.. 😭 however after seeing it a second time it became my favorite act 1 song and also the most memorable moment for me

i feel like the A tier needs no explanation.

okayy i have a lot of thoughts about the B tier songs. overall i like them all but not as much as the ones above them + most of them are way more meaningful with the performances that go with them.

i really like the grand spec in the show but listening to it outside of it feels kinda pointless. not in the sense that there's no sense in it but in the sense that it doesn't have the same energy i guess?

i rlly like the lyrics of what do you do but i don't usually care for slow songs soo. opposite thing with the world don't make you young the lyrics aren't that memorable imo but it's a banger

similar situation w/ ode to an elephant and silver stars as anywhere

i like squeaky wheel and funny angel solely bc jacob is very cutesy in them :-D

C tier is basically B tier but i don't really listen to them at all. i don't hate just our luck but i wish they included the full thing in the cast recording bc i remember there being more to it :/

D tier are songs i actually don't care for at all. i really wanna like wild but i just cannot see the vision for it + i haate the ending of the show sorry i don't see the vision for that either which makes me sad bc i usually love finale songs

i shouldn't be surprised wasn't performed when i saw it so i feel like i don't have enough context to judge it sorry
