UK + IE + EU Timezone Guide !

Hi everyone!💜 As we enter the final leg of the Terrible Influence tour (😭), I've put together another timezone guide for everyone! It's a little different to the AU/NZ guide as there aren't as many timezones as there were in the last leg; but I hope it'll still help and that it's easy to understand!

As the previous guide, this one follows the time that M&G begins at 5pm (and may vary due to venue allowances!) To find what time the show starts, add 3 hours! Currently, information about the January 26th matinee show in London has not been released, but I'll update with the timing information for that as it comes !! We once again apologise that we are not able to include every time zone in this guide, but attached to this post is a world clock site in which you can look up your time zone and add the dates you are wanting to track + it also comes in a mobile app! https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

Thanks again for following our blog on this journey, and we look forward to bringing you content from the final leg of the Terrible Influence tour! 💙💜

Petunia: Lily likes to win. When she was 12, a little Girl Guides friend of her bragged she could sell the most biscuits. Petunia: Damned if Lily didn't walk the neighborhood till she got blisters on her feet, and won by 10 boxes. Petunia: Best part is, Lily wasn't even a Girl Guides

Your guide is feeling a touch vulnerable today, so I'd like to ask you all to be extra nice to him. Maybe take a little trip with him to an art gallery?

Ok, ok. Some of you don't know all of the art. You can look through the paintings mentioned first, or as you listen, if it helps you.

Heeeeey, so, we're doing a fundraiser this October! 100km dog walk for Guide Dogs UK!

Obviously I'll be on my mobility scooter but my dad will be walking, and more importantly, so will Fuwafuwa!

We'd be extremely grateful if you could reblog!

You probably know my mum lost her sight a few years ago, and while a guide dog didn't suit her personally, I can say that, while I'm not blind, having an assistance dog absolutely changed my life, so Guide Dogs UK in particular is a very important combination of both for us.

ok so for uk davey to have a costume change in act 2. he needs to look more like racetrack.

i don’t know if this is purposeful in the previous broadway and tour productions, but race’s base in the past has been a plaid-patterned shirt that was either stark in contrast (ryan breslin’s dark on light) or stark in color (ben cook’s blue and green). and bway davey’s is a mix of both with a bright blue, thicker stripe on a white base.

uk davey already has color, but it’s a green, and he and les are alone in this color compared to the rest of the ensemble (besides like. albert for some reason. but i kinda think they fucked that up a bit lmao). the rest are in paler colors made stark only by suspenders, kerchiefs, or caps. they are far more unified. race still sticks out- his cap is actually & interestingly green (at least.. it was for a while), but he also has a red pocket square and a nicer vest and a Pattern. he’s got a blue pin-striped white shirt.

and davey i think. first of all gets a kerchief. i think he might come into world will know with one honestly. and davey i think maybe doesn’t shift patterns—i think les might be more inclined to that—i think he shifts to a color that more unifies him with the newsies. and more with crutchie and race. it’s got to be some kind of paler blue, and since crutchie, jack, and kath have solid colors i think davey still needs to. maybe it’s also a bigger shirt too. enters kony setting his vest on the table & does kony sans vest. yeahg.

for jack i think. i just truly and desperately want him in an undershirt that is paint-RUINED. i think jerjor’s undershirt had like…. two swipes of paint…. and the first time we see jack in act 2 is his most vulnerable. he’s chosen officially to leave town after whatever this is all ends, he’s back to painting santa fe, he believes that he, specifically, failed everyone. i need that undershirt rife with colors and therefore emotion. it needs to be literally on his sleeve ! yk! bc what he says in the wwh(r) scene is mostly delivered stonily, with less emotion. just sort of hopeless. i think it’d also be an interesting visual to go with “you look like hell”, bc if his attire is covered in paint it could mean he’s stayed up the whole night, or was super careless, etc etc. gives More to go on than every-time-without-fail’d underwhelming makeup lmao.

then i think during the pulitzer office mayor/snyder scene he changes back to the red or puts the shirt on over the undershirt…. and then the rally. we know he can’t change clothes bc boy was basically in newsie jail down there. but we DO know that the delanceys further beat him up (they do it during bottom line reprise’s outro upstage if some of u weren’t aware) before tossing him on the ground. so we Know he looks. even fucking worse at the rally. maybe a piece of the undershirt is ripped off and wrapped around the fingers morris steps on. maybe it’s on underneath the red shirt for the first time to hide bruising. maybe the injuries we saw from the strike get quickly worsened while brooklyn’s here plays. there has to be an even further disheveled shift. this kid has been ruined now, not just his attire. not just his facade. his actual self.
