did some rambling on my multi but here’s some thoughts on LJ + theatre
lara jean drags peter to waitress on broadway. she cries throughout the entirity of the show, stagedoors & buys the pies they sell at the brooks & the recipe book - goes home and tries to recreate the taste of all the pies. while she used to listen to other cast recordings, or albums while baking, the only one now deemed acceptable is the original cast recording of waitress. she drags peter to the tour, even margot and kitty, and trina & daddy again too. secretly wants to do a couples costume with peter as jenna & jim. it’s by far her favourite musical.
she’s forever upset that she never got to see amélie during its (short-lived) broadway run. listens to the cast recording whenever she’s on the train, pretending that she’s in paris - when she eventually does visit france, she makes sure to visit every place mentioned in the movie and musical.
she has an entire playlist of showtunes in general, and another one of showtunes that remind her of peter. falling slowly (once), you matter to me (waitress), waited all these years (venice), enjoy the ride (bring it on) being some of the songs on it. the entirity of daddy long legs is also on it, simply for the letter-writing.
lara jean isn’t the biggest fan of the mean girls musical, but gets super into it because of ashley park. she gets sucked into it, even buying a few shirts and skirts because they remind her of something that grechen would wear. if there’s ever a k-pop transfer to broadway, she’ll be on the first flight out.
lara jean collects playbills. she doesn’t hang them up, but she does have some playbill binders and carefully stores each one. she also has a list of the playbills she has, with the cast list and date, saved in a notes document on her phone. her most prized possession is probably from the waitress ART production that she found on ebay. one day, she’ll get it signed by sara - and the rest of the cast, she’s currently only gotten it signed by drew since he never seems to leave the show. she’s still waiting for the day that she gets her hands on a k-pop playbill though - and a bonnie & clyde one, simply for the novelty of it being bonnie & clyde.
whenever she needs a pep talk, she blasts the legally blonde cast recording. she’s watched the proshot more times than she can count.
