I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.
"That is Signal, the Last Follower of the Old Law."

This very production of Orpheus & Eurydice is now available to stream, free, for the month of June.

Justin McElroy talking about accessibility in live theatre (June 9, 2019)
“Art is happening everywhere all of the time” but an awful lot of it seems to only ever happen in New York and London, doesn’t it?
hell I’m someone who’s seen a LOT of theatre shows. we have a local theatre that does performances a few times a year and occasionally I’m able to get tickets when there’s a tour (even the closest location is like at least a two hours drive) and like. even if I’m actually fucking able to go to them the amount of times the Only Space with wheelchair access LITERALLY CAN’T see the fucking stage is wild. the last performance I went to I was seated somewhere where I wasn’t able to see anything except peoples feet unless the performers were on the far left of the stage. i was AT the live art and I wasn’t able to see it bc accessibility at theatres is That Dogshit. like even if somehow the geography and financial issues are somehow fine (they’re not) I think it’s Interesting how James completely ignored the disability part Justin mentioned. “art is happening everywhere” but no one cares to let people like me see it even if we’re fucking there and paid money for it.
LOVES me a comic relief character w/ a reputation for The Melodrama—but once you consider their backstory/working conditions you realize they are actually holding shit soooooooooooooooo much closer together than most-o-us could manage in the same situation.
there are MANY goons and mooks and goofy best friend characters this applies to, but i wanna give a shout-out to the Living Prima Donna Embodiment from phantom of the opera.
woman with 20+ years experience, most respected professional in her field, refuses to work under unsafe conditions (aka shitty colleague literally trying to murder her) and instead of listening to her massively justified concern, the new tech bro investors decide to just have an entry-level employee fill in for her.
Carlotta shoulda personally been allowed bring that crummy chandelier crashing down on her shitty bosses' heads!!!
YES! YES! YES!
“These things happen” On what planet Mr French Multimillionaire?!? On what planet is that an acceptable working environment! And the Phantom is picking on her and taking her voice because he, one out of thousands, doesn’t like it! And the owners just… fold?!? No!
"UNTIL YOU STOP THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING, THIS THANG DOES NOT HAPPEN!"
hell yeah Carlotta invoking 👏 her 👏 worker's 👏 rights 👏
idrk why i made this but
Recently did a little deep dive into the costume props for the Dear Evan Hansen show that were used for Connor. In particular his shoes and his bag, that is. Turns out both are actually military equipment or were rather used for military purposes.
I’m not sure about the exact models of of each but it does look like they used jungle boots as well as these military canvas bags that were used in WW2 apparently? I’m no expert in either fashion nor war theory so don’t quote me on this, it’s just what I found online.
However, I’m wondering if these were conscious choices for Connor or if it was purely a style decision. The buttons and his character in general give more of an anti-war and anti-military impression so these definitely raise some questions

I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful
if you're not from the us american south, there's some amazing nuances to this you may have missed. i can't really describe all of them, because i've lived here my whole life and a lot of the body language is sort of a native tongue thing. the body language is its own language, and i am not so great at teaching language. i do know i instinctively sucked on my lower teeth at the same time as he did, and when he scratched the side of his face, i was ready to take up fucking arms with him.
but y'all. the way he said "brutus is an honourable man" - each and every time it changed just a little. it was the full condemnation Shakespeare wanted it to be. it started off slightly mock sincere. barely trying to cover the sarcasm. by the end...it wasn't a threat, it was a promise.
christ, he's good.
the eliding of “you all” to “y’all” while still maintaining 2 syllables is a deliberate and brilliant act of violence. “bear with me” said exactly like i’ve heard it at every funeral. the choices of breaking and re-establishing of eye contact. the balance of rehearsed and improvised tone. A+++ get this man a hollywood contract.
why is the hill silent. it's supposed to be alive with the sound of music
this is meant to be read in the tone of an exasperated gay theater director
I've only seen Hadestown once. It was in a high school theater, put on by a relatively new youth theater collective. Nothing terribly special, but there's one thing I'll remember forever.
The Fates, in myth, weave threads of life. This performance gave the fates a red string. In Doubt Comes In, the moment Orpheus turned around, they cut the string and used the two halves to pull Eurydice back to Hades and to hold Orpheus back from going to her. And, more than that, Orpheus didn't sing her name. He screamed it.
That moment, that Orpheus screaming and lunging after Eurydice despite being literally held back by fate, is something I'm never going to forget.
I got this while scrolling on instagram to try to convince me to join threads and I—
We did it. We finally saved her.
have seen multiple people ask for a hadestown movie adaption post wicked and we truly have such different world views because i would never want that like to me some musicals are for stage only and hadestown is one of them
idk
darren calling out how helen shouldve been nominated for best lead actress i know thats right
By request, pulled from my tiktok.
This element of Carlotta IS present in the musical, but not addressed to the point where the general audience will usually pick up on it. Carlotta in the musical is a very classically-styled role with very challenging vocal sections that take a lot of skill to do right (in fact, iirc, she hits the same high notes Christine does, just in a different context/style). There’s also the line about how Carlotta must actually act in the Phantom’s Don Juan, rather than just “strutting around the stage”. However, most general audience members with no real knowledge of vocal performance will not puck up on this.
what do you mean lin manuel miranda dropped a hamilton nightcore album today i dont see anyone talking about this. Are you guys aware
