Ep79 Evan's Last Hurrah w/ Andrew Leeds! (Hollywood!)

3 dudes are in a room bitchin' as we're joined by Mr. Andrew Leeds - who's gone from strength-to-strength since debuting on Broadway as a 6-year-old! (Say what?!) This week, we bid fare-thee-well to Evan with the final part of the Falsetto's trilogy, Falsettoland, as well as Adalitas Way and their self-titled album. Plus we chat the Falsettos movie that never was, Mandy Patinkin, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist- and other titles, Groundlings, as well as gender-swap the characters in Marvin's trilogy- among so much more!

I know this might hurt to hear for some but the ending of Falsettos is the necessary climax and conclusion to all of the men's character arcs.

Bill Finn didn't write it just to be a downer ending. He wrote it so Marvin would have to overcome his misogyny and take on a caregiving role and so he could learn to rely on his family for support.

He wrote it so Whizzer would have to overcome his pride and allow himself to be cared for and loved. To bring him and his family together.

He wrote it to knock Mendel down from his g-d complex. To show him he doesn't have the answers, that he has to help his family process their feelings instead of just pretending everything is fine.

He wrote it to teach Jason to give up his king, to concede, to learn from his mistakes. To teach him about being a man.

Whizzer's death happens at the end of Jason's bar mitzvah because it symbolizes all four men finally growing up. Becoming men. It is their final step out of falsettoland. Ignoring the ending robs them of their growth.

Why I love the big grey cube

The cube starts very uniform and rather out of place as it seems just I bit odd to the audience.

But as it gets ripped apart it becomes clear to the audience how it is just a collection if blocks that are used by the characters to play pretend.

This shows Marvin's attempt to control everyone by viewing life as a game and trying to get everyone to play along to his delusional view on life.

After Meldal is engaged to Trina, he tries to draw her out of the fictional world Marvin has created by physically moving Marvin's blocks and fighting with him in 'a tight-knit family reprise'

As trina breaks free from Marvin's childish world, more props are introduced on stage to signal her newfound freedom from him. She gets to move into her new life with Meldal, and u see them decorate their house together (which is incredibly sweet).

The second act starts with a set made from the cubes arranged in a dolls House like formation as if Marvin will continue living in him fauls reality.

But Marvin himself tears down the formation just before 'its about time' to show how he's developed and is awhere that he can't live life as if its a game.

In the second act it is clear that all the characters are living in reality instead of playing Marvin's pretend both due to the important topics Charrlotte is trying to fight for and the increased use of props spread out across the stage.

(I love their little house plant collection)

When Whizzer gets ill, the set completely shifts to be highly realistic with no use of the grey blocks at all. This shows how Marvin can't ignore things anymore and has to face Whizzers health.

RLDR: The set is amazing. I love it so much!
