thank you for this blog i need to confess this somewhere but it’s embarrassing to say in public. i’m really normal generally but when that video was posted a few days before the tonys, when emotions were already running high, where the cast was reading stories about people’s family connections to operation mincemeat i was so distressed that tash was a. alone while everyone else was in pairs. and b. given a story that upset her. that for some reason i blocked felix on both instagram and twitter. idk why but in the pre tonys hysteria i felt deep on my heart that he was somehow responsible. sorry felix. you do have really beautiful hair.

Montlie + actors » [3/?]

[marchofthewitchhunters]

maddie is just SO GOOD as monty god i’ll never get over her

[marchofthewitchhunters]

zoe roberts doesn't get enough credit for how good of an actor she is like. flemming haselden and bevan are all so different from each other but she plays them all so well and distinctly that sometimes you forget they're all played by the same woman

Alex Young sounds like dry white wine, and, crucially, not like Ewen Montagu.

Trust me that's canon

(And btw it's been a long long time since I read anything from the book so I got a little creative with the designs tho I used the movie cast as a base :v)

What's he like? What's he... what's he got?

[marchofthewitchhunters]

I am obsessed with operation mincemeat so I'm going to list my favourite songs/ moments

All of the harmonies/ overlapping voices because there are only five people singing it doesn't get too confusing and sounds amazing

It's actually funny

All the songs are good - there are lots of musicals that there are a few songs that I really like but the rest I don't. For this one, I love every single song

Jean - every single time she sings I am in awe

The songs are so catchy

DEAR BILL

'penny for me governor?' 'what century are you in?' 'YAYYYY'

Monty in the glitzy finale

The way they changed between scenes in just for tonight - SO SMOOTH

My absolute favourite songs (I love all of them though) - born to lead, God that's brilliant, all the ladies, making a man, DEAR BILL, just for tonight, das ubermensch, act as if, glitzy finale

THIS MUSICAL IS SO AMAZING OMG

[marchofthewitchhunters]

sorry for disappearing for months on end i’m not doing much art these days. anyway listen to the meat musical
