best moments - The Other Side edition
the way Phillip says suffocating
Barnum’s little peanut toss and catch
Phillip’s disgusted face after the first shot of the song
Phillip’s face when Barnum puts his finger in his face
and walks his fingers on the bar
and makes scissors with his fingers
and when the bartender comes in and Phillip just stares after him
Barnum only fills Phillip’s glass. not his own. there’s barely a drop in his and he makes a point to throw it back anyway
actually Barnum never drinks another shot at all until the end of the song. meanwhile he spares no drop when it comes to Phillip
Barnum playing with Phil’s tie
Phil’s tie being undone in general. he’s so done with that play of his
Phil’s face when Barnum jumps on the table
actually just his face the entire song
Phil’s red hat
the quick sweep up of the peanut shells Phillip please that’s a mess
how Phil collects his coat, hat, scarf, and then produces to not only toss his coat back down and keep singing, but step up on the bar, tap dance, and spread his arms in a ta da! pose upon jumping off
Phil reaching for his glass off the top of the piano and missing
Barnum’s subtle little gestures to the bartender throughout the song
synchronized putting on of the scarves
the bartender also puts his towel over his shoulder at the same time
Barnum why are you putting on your scarf you weren’t leaving yet
he knows he has him
Barnum knows he has him
Phillip’s smirk and that exact moment where you see him so excited
how the music pauses for them to pay
that shot sequence choreography. nuff said
they’re so bad for each other
but so good
this is why they’re great partners
how flustered Phil looks when he first gets there. he runs into everyone and falls over a box
how Barnum keeps a hand ready to help him up or guide him along because yes it’s only his first day there
hat switch!
Lettie’s unholy amusement at their shenanigans
how Barnum mostly just shoves him straight out the curtain to experience the show
of course the music and framing transition to the moment he meets Anne
