She/her I like pretty much every musical I’ve been exposed to. People who sing good give my brain the molecule of serotonin that it craves

i don’t know if this was just my show or if this is like Part Of It but at the start of hadestown like as everyone walked on stage and got into place, hermes put his hand on eurydice’s shoulder and smiled, and she put her hand on top of his, and then he came to the front and did a little breathing exercise and started the tale. to me, that was hermes comforting eurydice the character as they prepared to walk through this tragedy together once again

Because that other one left out WAY too many formative musicals (at least for anyone older than, like, 20). I'm definitely still leaving out a lot but I made an effort to cover a wider range of musical history.

Imagine you get arrested for a crime you didn't commit. It's super dramatic and the cop arresting you acts like you personally killed his dog the whole time and you're so confused. Eventually you go to trial and you find out the horrible crime not-you committed was violating parole. You're just about to be convicted of this crime you didn't commit and the fucking mayor sprints in and shouts "It was me! I did it!" Then proceeds to get arrested instantly. You'd be so fucking confused right

Orpheus scribbles ✨

ID: Four digital sketches of Orpheus from Hadestown. He is a young man with short hair who wearing a shirt, bandana, and pants with suspenders. In the top left image he shouts “Wait for me!” as he holds his hands up in fists. In one hand he holds a flower. A guitar is slung over his shoulder. In the top right image he sits on a barstool with a pen in his hand. Eurydice, not shown, shouts “Orpheus!” and he looks up. In the bottom left image he is down on one knee with arms outstretched and says “All the rivers’ll sing along!” In the bottom right image he sits on the floor holding his side. His clothes are slightly torn and he has scratches on his face. He says “Is this how the world is?” End of ID.

Dissertation

I’m at university in the UK, and as part of my final grade I have to produce a report about a particular subject. I have chosen my report to be about musicals and how they have created a new audience for history.

For part of this report, I want to use data about how musicals have educated people on history. I have created a short (should take about five - ten minutes) form that asks a few questions about musicals.

All information received will be turned into graphs, and there is no requirement to answer any questions.

It would mean a lot to me if you could respond to this and/or share it so it reaches a wider audience. Thank you!

Musicals as a way to educate

I am a third year history student looking at how historical musicals have created a new audience for history. As part of this, I want to use

No, they aren't. They are singing and dancing around in the living room, pretending to be a newsboy striking.

I feel so bad for people who can't get into musicals because they just can't comprehend that the singing and dancing is a part of the storytelling. No, Jack Kelly did not just start singing and dancing to a random song in the middle of the movie, the song is exposition, back story, a soliloquy, ect. The dancing is a visual representation of his emotions. The lyrics matter and the composition is a blend of motifs reused through the show to tie themes and characters together. They aren't pausing the movie/show for a concert or something, they're telling you important and relevant pieces of information about the characters and what they are thinking, feeling, and experiencing.
