More pics of 2018/Seattle! Ricky but specifically spacedolls

[finleyforevermore]

Observation I made:

During this part of WftD, the closer the choir is to the front, the more violently they thrash around.

Ricky doesn't really thrash and only raises his crutches.

Mischa and Noel are slightly more intense but it mostly looks like they're reaching for something.

Ocean and Constance have the most intense and violent movements. Ocean's hair flips around and she twists; Constance flails then snaps right back into place

Maybe everyone knows that XD but hey I was the first person to make a post about so there's that! >:D

Waiting for the drop AAAHHHH

I actually love this opening (but tbf I love all the openings)

Like I agree it’s a bit too upbeat for the song that features their deaths, and I can see why they scrapped it

But it’s catchy asf and at the same time makes me super sad 😭

Like it really points out to me how they were just trying to enjoy themselves at the fair and aashshshhfjhfh

The first verse is literally them having fun on the Cyclone believing that they had their whole future to look forward to 😭😭

And then the second verse of them realizing that the Cyclone is broken ☹️

Listening to the whole 2018 production and. Karnak says “at 6:18 they boarded the ride, fizzy, dizzy, young, their whole lives ahead of them” like whyyyyyyy 😭

[rtc-confessions]

people treat the 2016 cast like they’re the only cast. ‼️THERE ARE OTHER ACTORS‼️ Trinity Theater Ferris Wheel cast has SUCH an amazing actor for Noel, RVJ has an amazing Ricky (my personal favorite is Connor Russell as Ricky in 2018 Seattle), Chaz Duffy is such an amazing and under appreciated Mischa, Chance Theater’s Ocean is so amazing, Trinity Theater Ferris Wheel cast has such a cutie patootie Constance, and Stone Soup has such an amazing Jane Doe. I personally feel like 2016 RTC is overrated. Today I’ve watched four different RTC productions, and they were all so amazing to watch. Looking at all the different interpretations for the characters is so amazing to watch. No hate to the 2016 cast, I just personally feel like people need to pay more attention to different actors, because they put in a lot of work for their roll.

[perfectdolls]

i think my top three favorite rtc productions are 2016 off broadway, 2018 seattle, and rgc theater 2023

[derrypubliclibrary]

OKAY im not sure how well this will work but i made a combined version of the 2018 Seattle version of RTC. (All the songs are together, so you don't have to manually play them)

[finleyforevermore]

Reasons for liking them:

Waiting for the Drop:

The only opening that actually takes place on the Cyclone!

Makes the audience truly understand how they're all just kids who wanted to ride a roller coaster.

Perfectly walks the line between lighthearted carnival fun and tragedy.

Has probably the scariest (/pos) version of the crash.

Despite being the most separated from the earliest opening, Tragic Fact, it still works in the ascending scale and Jane's operatic notes.

Lots of pretty harmonies!

The Uranium Suite:

Is probably the best opening musically.

Subtly blends material from other openings into it.

Has this dreadful and ominous feeling throughout.

Feels too dark, but at the same time, the darkness is what makes it so good!

ALSO lots of pretty harmonies!

Microsoft's mobile strategy: Create 

Windows-like app 'experiences' for smartphones

Windows watchers worried what would become of Microsoft after a sweeping reorganization that emphasized “experiences,” rather than Windows. As Microsoft kicks off its Build developer conference in Seattle on Monday, we now have a better idea: Microsoft is investing in Windows experiences on mobile devices, with a new app called Your Phone; a migration of Windows 10's Timeline productivity feature to phones; and an update to its launcher app for enterprises. While Microsoft is also expected to discuss some of the features of its next Windows 10 update (code-named “Redstone 5”) at Build, the company indicated that it will be emphasizing cross-platform apps instead. Microsoft will discuss some of these in a Tuesday presentation by Joe Belfiore, who leads Windows “experiences” as the corporate vice president in the Operating Systems Group at Microsoft. The idea, Belfiore said in a briefing in advance of the show, was that Microsoft needs to know what users are working on, across any device. “Whether you look at a Word doc on Android, iOS, or Windows, is irrelevant,” Belfiore said. Belfiore was talking about Timeline, the feature that tracks your work in the Office apps or Edge, recording your activity in what Microsoft calls the Microsoft Graph. But Belfiore could have been talking about any hardware platform. Microsoft sounds like it wants to elevate Microsoft mobile applications to the level of importance of a PC—making the actual hardware, and operating system, irrelevant. Why this matters: After the demise of Windows phones, the reorganization that seemingly downplayed Windows was chewed over by analysts and fans alike. A developer conference that continues to de-emphasize Windows won’t be well-received by fans. Still, Microsoft seems to be beefing up its mobile apps for iOS and Android, projecting "Windows" onto platforms Microsoft doesn’t intrinsically own. Two years ago, we suggested that Microsoft's "Plan C" for mobile phones was toseed Microsoft apps and services everywhere it could, and let a garden grow. That future is coming to pass.

Timeline, here shown on a Windows PC, will be coming to phones. 

Your Phone ties your PC to your smartphone

Microsoft isn't positioning the new experiences as part of Windows, but as a core component of Microsoft 365, a business solution that includes Windows, Office 365 and a mobile device management solution. It's a subscription service for enterprises and educators that Microsoft launched last year, tying together the nearly 700 million Windows 10 devices and the 135 million commercial users that use Office 365.  Expect Microsoft to characterize these as what it calls "the intelligent edge," complementing the "intelligent cloud" of Azure and other enterprise services. Microsoft wants to unite everything: cloud, device, business, consumer. The new Your Phone app sounds like one of the first manifestations of that vision. Recall that Microsoft tried, and failed, to make phones into PCs with Continuum, which projected the phone’s Windows 10 Mobile OS and apps onto a monitor. With recent versions of Windows 10, Microsoft has gone the other way: You can now reply to texts sent your phone from your PC. With Your Phone, a UWP app, users will have “a window into a user’s phone right from their PC,” allowing them to text from their phone, share photos, and view notifications, representatives said, letting them work without distraction from their phone. Sharing photos would be a new capability for the Windows platform (though photos snapped with a phone, and automatically uploaded to OneDrive, are already viewable with the Windows 10 Photos app moments later).

A screenshot from the Microsoft Store page of the Your Phone app. As of Friday, the app didn't do much of anything.

YourPhone was live in the Microsoft Store on Friday, though the version published then didn't seem to do too much besides connect the phone and the PC, in much the same way Windows already does. The app encouraged users to download Microsoft Launcher after sending a link to the app by text.

Google / Microsoft

The Microsoft Launcher app provides a Microsoft-flavored experience on Android. Look for Microsoft to continue to beef it up.

Microsoft’s other two pieces of client news are also adaptations of existing capabilities. The Microsoft Launcher app for Android (formerly the Arrow Launcher) already provides a Microsoft desktop of sorts, complete with quick access to Cortana and Edge, as well as a personalized feed of news, calendar appointments, and other relevant details. Now, Microsoft Launcher will include enterprise features whose details the company plans to disclose at Build. Microsoft Launcher’s enterprise version will also include Timeline, Microsoft executives said, giving Launcher another aspect of Windows on a mobile device. According to Google, over 10 million users have installed Microsoft Launcher. When you consider that 8.3 million Windows phones were sold in the first quarter of 2015, and just 2.4 million a year later (according to Gartner), the company may see Microsoft Launcher as a Trojan Horse of sorts, sneaking Windows into the Android ecosystem.

Where's Windows? Only Insiders know

It would be rather bizarre if Microsoft didn't mention Windows at Build, but members of the Insider program can already see what Microsoft is working on. Given the unexpected delays in the rollout of the April 2018 Update, Microsoft has already released ten new builds of the "Skip Ahead" track of Windows, also known as Redstone 5 or (probably) what will be called Windows 10 version 1809. Most of the work has been done around Sets, the tabbed interface that Microsoft debuted in the April 2018 Update, then pulled back for further development.  Sets now supports Microsoft Office apps, as well as more basic apps like Mail. Other improvements include a handy feature for monitoring the battery life of Bluetooth devices within Windows itself, and support for the High Efficiency Image File Format, a potential replacement for the JPEG image format.

Microsoft

Sets trades the windowed interface that we're used to for an optional one that looks more like a tabbed browser. It's just another way of working within Windows.

Microsoft has some updates planned for other Windows and Office apps, too. Teams, the collaborative Slack competitor that Microsoft began rolling out in 2017, will gain new APIs and deeper SharePoint integration. Both Outlook and Teams will also see new Adaptive Cards arrive, the name Microsoft uses for the snippets of text and graphics that can allow developers to create rich interactive content—allowing, for example, someone to approve an expense report without leaving Teams. Expect more on PowerBI visualizations in Excel, as well as updates on Windows Machine Learning (Windows ML) to smarten up Windows and your other devices. All of the intelligence Microsoft is adding to apps is part of the Microsoft Graph, part of the comprehensive matrix of information Microsoft began talking about three years ago. Microsoft calls the Graph a way for developers "to connect the dots between people, conversations, schedules, and content within the Microsoft cloud," and add insights. When Microsoft executives talk about artificial intelligence (AI) to make apps smarter, the Graph is what company executives want developers to tap into. And if that's not enough, there's cold cash. In a bid to entice more Windows apps from third-party developers, Microsoft plans to aggressively raise the revenue cut that developers can earn—up to 95 percent in certain cases, executives said in advance of Build. Windows users may be disappointed by the lack of emphasis on Windows and the relatively low profile Windows has at Build, but developers will undoubtedly be thrilled by the prospect of making more money.

Okay, watching every clip from 2018 RTC Seattle at The 5th Avenue Theatre and ACT Theatre, and falling more in love with the cast every second.

Waiting For The Drop was already my favourite opening number, but Connor Russell's Space Age Bachelor Man, Adam Standley's This Song Is Awesome, and ESPECIALLY his rendition of Talia really secured this cast as one of my favourites.

Wish there was slime on YouTube...
