ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WHY DID THIS RB TO CLARKBAXTRESSER I NEED TO STOP DOING THIS.
the wicked movie casting ariana as glinda still IRKS me. she is so talented and i'm sure she will do ~fine(?) in the role... but it is such an obvious stunt casting and there were likely COUNTLESS other better actresses for the part...
update: i watched the trailer and she did Not sound good...

last night i had a dream that hadestown reopened on broadway starring harry styles as orpheus, beyoncé as eurydice, and corpse husband as hades. gabbie hanna played one of the fates even though she told people on twitter that she would be playing eurydice
both are sung by the three main characters from their respective musicals, about each of the characters’ strongest desires and dreams which actually demonstrate a greater outlook on the overall themes of wishes and destinies that are heavily present in both productions, and are act one closers from comedy musicals that on the surface are not to be taken seriously even though they’re both actually really!!! fucking!!! deep!!!!
happy ending from twisted and who i’d be from shrek the musical are sister songs
starkid fans act like black friday is the first starkid production that blatantly criticizes capitalism and poignantly depicts many of its flaws through a comedic parody musical as if twisted: the untold story of a royal vizier isn’t right there
ok but seriously... “follow the golden rule” transitioning to “follow the gold and rule”.... “i never dated for stories // until you entered mine // and now my only wish is that // our plots may intertwine” —i am SWOONING.... “science says you’re dead and gone forever // reason says i’m talking to the air // but something in my heart // some secret hidden part // illogically insists that you are there”—that subtle juxtaposition between science/reason and illogical!!!!! .... unironically, the rhyming genius of no one remembers achmed (my personal favorite is the whole “superior / posterior” instance in the first verse)..... “the question then is whether ‘tis nobler in the kind // to be well-liked but ineffectual, or moral but maligned?” and basically the entirety of twisted (song) .... “if i do have power // beyond what meets the eye // the source of all my hidden value // is the morale you supply // if i’m capable of greatness // it’s not innateness, don’t you see?” LIKE DAMN PRINCESS GO OFF???
let’s talk about the lyrical masterpiece that is the entire soundtrack of twisted: the untold story of a royal vizier (2013).
