Between Zoom birthday parties and three-hour House Party hangs, people are finding new ways to stay connected with their loved ones while practicing safe physical distancing. Tumblr Creatr Jennifer Xiao (@jxiaoo) has a few new ideas for friends to stay #TogetherWithYou if you’re feeling particularly adventurous.

Is Your Theatre Friend Okay?

How to Tell if Your Theatre Person is Okay 

(based on the musical they’re listening to on repeat)

From Least to Most Concerning:

Tuck Everlasting: Probably fine. Your friend might be yearning, though.

Heathers: Probably just routine ennui or angst, but if they’re only listening to “I Am Damaged,” “Lifeboat,” and/or “Kindergarten Boyfriend,” then they’re going through it.

Beetlejuice: If they’re only listening to “Dead Mom” on repeat, then you might want to worry. This is an “I am misunderstood” musical.

Waitress: Typically a chill one, but might be nostalgic and/or feeling stuck. Worth asking if they want to talk about it.

Dear Evan Hansen: Also in the safe zone, but if you hear too much of “Words Fail,” their self esteem is probably in the gutter.

Into the Woods: They’re either genuinely fine and just enjoying Sondheim, or actively having an existential crisis. Very little in between.

Cabaret: They’re either having a fresh and sexy time listening to Alan Cumming sing “Willkommen,” or you need to ask them if they’re all right.

Fun Home: Is your friend a tortured theatre gay? Because this is a tortured theatre gay musical. Just FYI.

Next to Normal: If Next To Normal is on repeat, like honestly on repeat, you might have cause for concern. This is a very high caliber depression musical.

Les Miserables: Your friend is wallowing. They’re probably crying about Gavroche because it’s easier to cry about French revolutionaries than process whatever they’re actually going through.

Spring Awakening: Please worry if someone you know is listening to any part of Spring Awakening on repeat. This is a peak depression musical.

SAGE’S SA SCALE

here are my eleven commandments for my ideal production of spring awakening. for each of the productions i’ve watched, i will give a ranking from one to five on each scale (adding up to a potential total of fifty-five) and i will explain my rating for each. i am aware that a lot of these are subjective and just based on opinion. deal with it. this rating system isn’t serious- i know there are other parts of a production that are important, too. these are my favorite parts of the show as a whole and my goal for doing this was to compare and contrast how different productions implemented these individual pieces. additionally, my reasoning for these are written with complete stream of conscious so they aren’t edited or proofread and if you don’t understand something, feel free to ask! feel free to debate me on these as well, because i love a healthy debate. let’s just be kind, though. you can keep up with this series of reviews under the tag #sages sa scale.

the weirdest thing about the education system is that pretty much every teenager ever is so stressed out about schools that they pray for disasters or fake illness or try to kill themselves and yet nobody has ever thought to themselves “hey maybe our system is flawed” and instead all they ever think is “kids these days are so lazy and selfish” like what the fuck is up with that man
