the best part about watching next to normal many times is that every time you notice a character crying in a scene that you didn’t notice before 😃

the way dan screams diana! during i’m alive [reprise] fucking GETS ME. EVERY TIME. particularly in jamie parker’s rendition because yes he might sound a little like a muppet but it’s so full of fear and grief and anger and panic and GOD we just watched this man clean up his wife’s blood and stand by her and do his absolute best and now he is just so terrified for her oh my god.

Feeling the need to point out Diana says Gabe has Jazz Band before school, but Natalie plays Classical

Complete musical opposites

Like you couldn’t project even one of Natalies traits onto Gabe? 😭

[imherethephantom]

is he a boy?? is he a ghost?? is he a hallucination?? is he alive?? alive?? so alive?? feeds on the fear that's behind your eyes??

the two most satisfying moments in n2n both occur during make up your mind/catch me i’m falling and the first is right after “he’s not here he’s not hereee” when gabe falls and his hands go down perfectly on two beats and then during “the visions are just your defense” when natalie runs up the stairs perfectly on beat. love you goodman siblings. love u n2n uk.

propaganda i’m NOT falling for:

-jamie parker sounds like kermit the frog.

-jamie parker’s voice is distracting.

-jamie parker sounds bad.

how gabe joins in towards the end of super boy and the invisible girl like she can’t even have this song to herself he’s always there shadowing her and haunting her…

*puts hands on hollywood exec's shoulders, staring unblinking into their eyes* listen to me. you will never get people who hate musicals to like musicals by making your musical less of a musical. if you hide the fact that your film is a musical in the advertising, you're going to get a lot of low ratings from people who hate musicals and went into your movie not expecting a musical and got one anyway. people who hate musicals will hate them no matter how realistic and diegetic and lowkey you try to make it. they will hate musicals even if you completely excise anything complicated, over the top, silly, or even slightly challenging. they will hate musicals even if you cut half the songs. they will hate musicals even if you cast that a-lister who can't sing worth a damn. stop trying to market to people who hate musicals. they're a lost cause. your audience should be people who love musicals. this half-assed middle ground pisses off both camps. just embrace the fact that your movie is a musical. lean into it. don't try and trick musical haters into coming to your film when you could be marketing to the theater kids. better cringe than a coward.

I think I just realized I’ve been so obsessed with the line “please hear me calling” in N2N because it’s exactly what Baby’s do when something’s wrong,

They cry and call for someone to help them

Just saw a tiktok video about the Goodmans set to DEH's Requiem and now the wistful thought of having Eleanor, Caissie, and Jamie singing it (with Jack lurking in the background) will not leave my mind.

Something something Dianas life stopping after throwing a black coat over a blue gown and Nats life beginning after removing a black coat from over her blue gown

The fact that Caissie brought her own children's clothes for this still kills me
