🎭Theater Kid Guy Headcanons🎭
As a former theater kid and current lover of all things musical theater, I can sniff out a fellow theater kid from a mile away, and Guy Redacted made my alarms go crazy. So here’s some roles I think he’s played
His first time on stage was in a 3rd grade play where they acted out various fairy tales. Being a talkative class clown kid of kid, his teacher gave him the role of Rumpelstiltskin and encouraged him to ham it up. As soon as he heard the audience laughing along with his antics, he was hooked.
His first time in a real official show was when he played Jojo in a community theater production of Seussical while in junior high. He still has a big soft spot for the show today, the themes of creativity and imagination really stuck with him.
He was in a musical all 4 years of high school
Freshman year he played Leaf Coneybear in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. He wasn’t expecting to be cast as a Freshman, but he was just So Perfect in the role they had to.
Sophomore year he played Lefou in Beauty and the Beast. His “Gaston” was legendary.
Junior year he had his first big leading role as The Leading Player in Pippin. The role requires a TON of stage presence, and he enjoyed delving into a more serious role while still getting to have fun with it. He didn’t love how much dancing he had to do, (he’s always been what’s we call “a mover” rather than “a dancer”.), but he did his best. It remains one of his favorite musicals.
Senior year he returned to his earliest theater experiences with fairy tales and played Cinderella’s Prince in Into The Woods. It wasn’t as big of a role as the previous year, but he had a BLAST with it. Guy absolutely SLAYED Agony, he had amazing chemistry with Rapunzel’s Prince, and their duet was as over the top and hilarious as a good performance of Agony should be. Occasionally when Honey is giving him shit he will still respond with “Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate, passionate, charming, as kind as I’m handsome, and heir to a throne?? Honey, I’m everything maidens could wish for!!”

Hi! Hoping you're have a good weekend. I wonder if I could ask you for some recs for musicals I can watch (bootlegged or otherwise)? You're like the musical theater expert of my mutuals so I figured I would ask. For reference I've seen three musicals, Wicked, Into the Woods, and Hamilton. Into the Woods was my fave but I loved them all! Take care and stay safe if it's super hot where you are!
the way I have to restrain myself from just listing Every show I've ever seen kshddhjf
okay so first off. my personal favorites (in no particular order): Mamma Mia (jukebox musical more grounded in reality but it's got the glitz and glam and strong female relationships that you probably dig from wicked), Rent (angry and emotional rock-opera about starving artists during an epidemic) American Psycho (based on the book/movie. violent but it was literally one of the best professional performances I've ever seen. lots of fun 80s synth in the music), Next To Normal (about mental health struggles and the effect they have on a family), In The Heights (4th of July weekend for a family as they go through A Lot, LMM wrote it and it, the music is gorgeous and it has more of a plot than hamilton so I tend to like it more lol), Hair (hippies during the vietnam war, essentially changed the face of musicals, fun and funky 60s rock music), Billy Elliot (based on a movie, INSANE dancing, takes place during the miner strike in England in the 80s, mixes classical ballet music with angry protest and some 80s vibes and it's SO GOOD lol), Hedwig and the Angry Inch (concert-set musical about a failing 80s glam rock singer essentially having a breakdown on stage for an hour until they realize they've been emotionally abusing their transgender wife who is the backup vocalist and let's her take over the final performance) Spring Awakening (a play about coming of age and the importance of sex education written in 1891, which was then banned over a hundred times until like 2007 when someone decided to tweak it a little and add some rock music lmfao), The Lightning Thief! (the first percy jackson book lmao it's cheesy but it's SO good!!!), Kinky Boots (guy inherits a failing shoe making factory and decides to market specifically to drag performers, a lot of belting and high energy songs, overall a fun and positive show), Six (the six wives of henry the 8th have risen from the dead to put on a pop concert), Beetlejuice (based on the movie/cartoon and it's so Fun omg)
shows that are kinda Big Popular with theater people that you'd probably like bc frankly most people do lmfao: Dear Evan Hansen, Be More Chill, Heathers, Chicago, Les Miserable, Hairspray, Phantom of the Opera, Book of Mormon, West Side Story, Cabaret, Hadestown, Waitress, Falsettos, Legally Blonde, The Last Five Years
shows I think are severely underrated: Jekyll and Hyde (based on the story but LISTEN the ballad 'In His Eyes' haunts my every waking move), 13 (extremely cheesy story about a boy moving right before his 13th birthday, every high school Ever has put it on so people tend to find it cringy but I'm here to say it's genuinely funny), Drowsy Chaperone (an old man recounts the plot of his favorite show and it's just literally insane and chaotic it's SO funny), Something Rotten (a play write who sees himself as William Shakespeare's biggest rival sets out to outdo the bard by creating the world's first musical. SO funny and creative and I truly think shakespeare would have wanted this show lmao), Dogfight (a soldier tricks a girl he thinks is ugly to coming to a party with him but then he realizes he sucks and falls in love with her, was NOT expecting to like it as much as a I did but it's sweet???), 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (interactive comedy that gets so chaotic)
I'm pretty sure these all have bootlegs (or slime tutorials lmfao) on youtube!!! hope YOU have a good day! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU CRAZY KIDDO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU’RE A BLESSING ON THIS WORLD!!!!!!
2: is your room messy or clean?
It’s kind of a mix?? Like I leave my clothes folded on top of the drawers rather than putting them away bc the drawers stick and it’s just easier access. The messiest thing about my room is that I’m a human magpie who likes collecting shiny/interesting things so I have a lot of stones and bits of metal or ceramic and some nuts and bolts lying around pffft. XD But mostly I keep things kinda tidy.

For myself, personally?

And once recently when I felt super sick for months and months and finally went only to find there was nothing wrong with me?? turned out it was my gluten intolerance but dear god I had never felt that sick.

My all-time favourite lyrics come from Twenty One Pilots’ song ‘The Judge’ (even though I don’t actually like the song itself I love the lyrics):“When the leader of the bad guys sangSomething soft and soaked in painI heard the echo from his secret hideawayHe must’ve forgot to close his doorAs he cranked out those dismal chordsAnd his four walls declared him insane”
