Day 8 — Match
Too soon, BJ…
But not me. Holy shit is this late, but oh my god have I had a bad week. And, to be honest, this one gave me some trouble too. Figuring out the composition took longer than I would’ve liked and, of course, working all day and then having to come home to make some food wound up taking more time than I’d like.
Now to get…maybe 4 hours of sleep and get to another shift that I’m sure will be just as frustrating as the last few have been.

Notes:
Closing Night! Lots of applause and loud audience including lost of crying from me behind the camera. The first act I have to work around a head on the right side of the screen. I do my best to work around it and you don't miss much because of it. Act 2 was perfect with very little obstruction. some shakiness due to me constantly crying. Overall a great capture of closing

C, G, T for the musical prompt ask game!
Yes! I'm so excited to share more of my thoughts about this musical! ✨️
C) Favorite song?
-
The Whole “Being Dead” Thing. Easy.
As much as I love Say My Name and Creepy Old Guy (I'd argue they're like my top 3). The Whole “Being Dead” Thing, both in live performances and in the album, are what made me realize, "Ah shit... I love this bug guy, don't I...?".
I also love seeing the animatics for this song on YouTube! I mentioned in the past that my gateway animatic (and in part the inspiration for my Beetlejuice design) is by shnikkles.
I just remembered like... even without the context of the musical, absolutely enjoying the hell out of this song because every single line could be interpreted in a completely different way. It's something that I feel is not as possible with a song like Say My Name, where there are specific story beats being told in the album. I'm kind of surprised that there are not that many people using this song for like their own demon/ghost OCs.
G) Favorite actor who’s been in the show?
-
Tell ya what, I will list my favorite actor for each role! ✨
I feel like I can't just boil it down to one actor, because I like different ones for different roles. Spoiler alert: The majority of them are from the Broadway cast.
Beetlejuice - Alex Brightman (Broadway)
Lydia Deetz - Isabella Esler (Tour)
Adam Maitland - David Josefsberg (Broadway)
Barbara Maitland - Kerry Butler (Broadway)
Charles Deetz - Adam Dannheisser (Broadway)
Delia Deetz/Miss Argentina - Leslie Kritzer (Broadway)
Skye the Girl Scout - Dana Steingold (Broadway)
Otho - Kelvin Moon Loh (Broadway)
Maxie Dean - Danny Rutigliano (Broadway)
Maxine Dean/Juno - Jill Abramovitz (Broadway)
T) An underrated song?
-
I was listening to Barbara 2.0 a little while back, and I almost forgot how beautiful that song is!
It's an important moment for Barbara and Adam, because this is when they decide that they will protect and support Lydia no matter what. In a way, I also see it as them standing up to Beetlejuice. They're not gonna let him pull them around like they're his puppets anymore.
My favorite moment in the song is when they say, "Ready, set, let's go!". The music hits it's highest point, and in the show, that's when they kiss - I couldn't forget a moment like that because of how well it was structured...
When I hear it, I like to imagine that they kiss, and their outfits transform from what they had in the beginning of act one to what they wear at the end of act two/curtain call, with a couple more embellishments, like sparkles. ✨️
Tumblr media
I feel it would be a nice visual representation of them getting stronger as characters. I could go on about how I can imagine the Maitlands gaining newfound powers and learning how to hone them as ghosts over time, but I feel like I've rambled enough about how good this song is.
One last thing I would like to say is that I'm kind of upset that the song is called Barbara 2.0, and not Maitlands 2.0. I understand that this is because Barbara is the one to encourage Adam to stand with her and let go of their fears, but I always felt that both of them played a significant role in the Life or Death scene later on in the show - without Adam, Charles would've been dead, and without Barbara, Lydia's plan would've crumbled immediately.

Nancy is actually there to do an internship, Niko is not killed until after she gets there. He kind of takes her under his wing and she gets rather close to him before he dies. Nancy is the only person Niko liked.
Ellie and Mason have no love affair.
Nancy walks in on Gray crying about Niko, which is the fuel for his rage against her. 
Victor leaves when Niko dies, Nancy tells him she is a detective, so he thinks of a way out for a couple of days.
Ryan is a still a gummy bear sis, but she’s older. Also, she is less afraid of the charges. She knows she's innocent. 
Same a**hole culprit.

Notes:
Very nice video of Dana from the left orchestra. The video is on a dutch angle but it doesn't take too much away from the video. There is a loud obnoxious drunk lady behind me who wouldn't stop screaming at the actors during the show. Alex told her to shush at the puppet show. She stopped in Act 2 for the most part. Overall a really nice video of this show nearing its end.

2018 Philadelphia Theater Critic's Awards -- The Recipients
2018 Philadelphia Theater Critic’s Awards — The Recipients
Excellence, bred from assurance, has become a constant in Philadelphia theater.
Gone, in particular, is the self-consciousness that plagued the early years when Philadelphia morphed from a touring town to one that boasts several dozen homegrown theaters, a cadre of able actors, and the confidence that puts all of the above to good use.
Philadelphia can compete with any city in the world for…

   Beetlejuicethe Broadway musical differs in crucial ways from Tim Burton’s 1988 comic horror movie, as the character Beetlejuice himself (portrayed by Alex Brightman) makes clear from his first appearance on stage.
The musical begins with the funeral for Lydia’s mother, with the teenage Lydia (Sophia Anne Caruso) singing movingly of her loss.
Suddenly, there’s Beetlejuice perched on the coffin
“Holy crap! A ballad already?” he exclaims, shattering the melancholy mood. “And such a bold departure from the original source material.”
If you remember the movie (and I didn’t; I watched it again this week on Amazon), Beetlejuice doesn’t appear until about the half-way mark, and his high octane obnoxiousness and show biz wisecracking are delivered in memorable but limited doses. The musical’s Beetlejuice, hyper and foul-mouthed, takes center stage nearly from the get-go, and without letup. Most to the point, the demon sets the turbo-charged pace and loud tone for the entire proceedings. I’d say this was a fatal mistake, but in a musical comedy about death and the netherworld, that might sound like a good thing.
Still, if you can tolerate the bombardment, and don’t mind sappy scenes mixed in with the comically macabre plot, Beetlejuice the musical does have its pleasures – principally a few standout performances and especially the vivid visuals.
The  story in outline is more or less the same as in the movie. Young couple Adam Maitland (Rob McClure) and his wife Barbara (Kerry Butler)  die by falling through a hole in their living room. Lydia’s father Charles  (Adam Dannheisser) moves in with his family.  Adam and Barbara don’t want them in their house, and Beetlejuice tries to scare them away, but it backfires. Lydia, wearing black and in mourning for her mother, makes a connection with the deceased couple. Beetlejuice would like to make a connection with Lydia…by marrying her.
Alex Brightman, who scored big as the original star of School of Rock, makes the most of the meta theatrical wisecracking in “Beetlejuice”; does what he can with Beetlejuice’s crude jokes; wears out his welcome (through no fault of his own) with the character’s extended hyper-adrenalized antics.  But the musical’s “departure from the original source material” helps create showcases for a couple of the other cast members.  Leslie Kritzer portrays Delia, whom Charles hired to be Lydia’s life coach, and is secretly having an affair with Charles. Kritzer makes comic hay from quoting her conman guru Otho (Kevin Moon Loh), e.g.: “Sadness is like kale salad. No one likes it. Throw it out.”
Sophia Anne Caruso, 17, who has wowed New York theatergoers for years with her startling talent and uncomfortable precocity in such shows as The Netherand Lazarus,  has a show-stopping number early in Beetlejuice, “Dead Mom.”  Despite the cheeky tone of that song, the musical allows her to mourn, which makes her character less of a cartoon. But then Lydia tries to enter the Netherworld to retrieve her loved one – a plot served to much better effect by another new Broadway musical, Hadestown, especially musically.
Indeed, few of the songs by Eddie Perfect are anything more than serviceable in Beetlejuice, though the lyrics can be clever and funny. They can also be puerile and profane.
The book, too, by (former New York Magazine drama critic) Scott Brown and Anthony King, feels at odds with itself. At the end of “Beetlejuice,” there is a sentimental family reconciliation and also a crass, loud game show parody – reflecting the two contrasting, and conflicting, tones of the show. I suppose mentioning these could be considered spoiler, if they weren’t both so overdone and predictable.
Yet, one aspect of “Beetlejuice” does stand out — its design. This makes sense. The movie won its sole Academy Award for best makeup. Five of the seven Drama Desk Award nominationsthat Beetlejuice the musical received this afternoon were for its design, as were three of the four Outer Critics Circle Award nominations.(Both also nominated Leslie Kritzer.)
Set designer David Korins (Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen) gives a Tim Burton vibe to the show, not just from Beetlejuice but from other movies Burton directed, including The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands, as he offers three different versions of the Victorian house — first one being restored by the Maitlands, preservationists at heart; then the tasteless redo by Charles and Lydia, and finally the ghoulish abode inhabited by, well, ghouls, once Beetlejuice takes over.   Puppet designer Mark Curry (Frozen, Young Frankenstein) brings some of the monsters from the movie to life, most effectively the giant sandworm, and creates some of his own. Jeremy Chernick and Michael Weber create the special effects, like burning hands and levitation. Costume designer William Ivey Long and projection designer Peter Nigrini do their usual spot-on spectacular jobs. As a result, when Beetlejuice suddenly replicates into a chorus line of clones, you don’t cringe, you revel in all those stripes.
