Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
as per usual, most rambles are in the tags,,, but also here are some doodles from the watt hadestown au it all fits in my head somehow so idk how clear these are
more info on the general story under the cut: but also, read the existing tags for this post first!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
sign on the line 'cause you're running out of time
a/n: a scene from watt/hadestown (but i go off on too many tangents in brackets)
riley steps forward. 'she can't go. she signed a contract. she belongs to the team.'
kate stares between eva and riley, and back to eva. "is it true?"
they speak in unison. 
"she does." "i do."
(kate thinks, sometimes, about eva and 'i do's and their wedding song. this is not the 'i do' she wanted. this 'i do' she dreamed of only in her nightmares, on the track to here, this hell.)
"i can't leave the team," says eva, "i signed. 90k, my scholarship, for me to be on the team. climatology, kate! any way the wind blows," she sings bitterly.
"you can't leave- please not you- not you too-" comes kate's response, words spilling, falling from her lips, the same ones she said to chess before she left and never came back and now eva is going too- there isn't even a promise to skype, to keep in touch, to let her follow- "come home with me," she begs, "we can fix it-" 
(she knows they can't. riley is the richest girl in the area. the school can't afford to lose her. 90k scholarship, fancy gym- giles corey would bend over backwards for this girl.)
eva laughs sadly. "you don't know what it's like to be hungry." 
(i have worked so hard for so much less, eva thinks, remembers being unable to study for college because she was always working, how the stress got to her. thinks about how annleigh said kate would make her feel alive- but she can't quite remember how it felt. being a tiger has dulled her inside. riley is rich, and she knows how to use the money and power she has- a world where all the wrong kids keep getting all the nice things, she thinks wildy for a moment, watching kate stare at her brokenly, and she loves kate but sometimes she doesn't get it, lost in her music, lost in her grief.)
from the side, cairo watches. 
(the memory of seeing eva flashes through her head. up on top for spring, above and away from this basement, pouring drinks for everyone in the sunshine. kate had cried, "she will always fill our cups," a praise, a challenge, a reassurance to the girl next to her, staring at this bringer of life with skepticism. cairo had noticed, and looked directly at this girl, hungry and tired, and chimed in with "i will," watching her face grow hopeful. kate grinned, strummed her song and toasted, "and we will always raise them up!")
(growing up, despite appearances, kate never hated cairo. "i'll play my song and you and riley can kiss and make up," she told cairo as a child. cairo looked at this mortal girl, fingers red from holding guitar chords, and scoffed a disbelieving "sure.") there was a frenemy sort of passive-aggressiveness between kate and cairo, and out of all the gods, cairo was one of the rare few she trusted to help. like now.
(she thinks to annleigh turning to her, looking haunted, saying that cairo and riley were behind chess's death, and her immediate reaction being to defend cairo- "cairo never hated chess!")
kate turns her head to the side, and cairo, lost in the tumultuous thoughts of an immortal who has lost so many (her mind, right now, is thinking of farrah) looks up. "cai," kate pleads, and cairo steps forward, into the dull glow of riley's basement, so different from sunlight above. riley's voice hums, a calming technique cairo taught her long ago, and cairo can nearly hear the words with the tune. "please forgive me for doing what's best for you," echoes riley's voice in her head, sad and desperate.
"riley," she starts, and her friend looks to her. riley's hands are shaking, something cairo remembers from fourth grade. "make this easier" riley sings softly, voice trembling, and looks at her.
"eva means nothing to me!" says riley, defensive, mind whirling with 'cairo must think i have a crush on eva or something and now she hates me just like i got mad at farrah when cairo started spending so much time with her but farrah was bad for her they kept getting drunk and please forgive me for doing what's best for you i love you i love you i love you please she means nothing to me it's always been you-'
and maybe the two of them know each other too well, maybe they're too in sync, because cairo looks at riley and sees how much riley cares for her, and also thinks of farrah, and the suspicions she has, and her heart breaks because she knows how to fix this and she doesn't want to do it.
"i know," cairo says (reassuring, i care for you too, do this to please me) and then, "but she means everything to her."
riley is beset with phantoms that take cairo's voice and face and rip them off, because suddenly, even though she is looking at her best friend, all she can see are ghosts.
chess floats near her face, and riley can almost feel her nonexistent breath beside her cheek. "damned if you don't", she sings, hauntingly persuasive. let them go. the guilt claws at riley's chest. she can't breathe. 
chess then glares at farrah as her double braids flop onto riley's head. with fake cheer, she somersaults through the air and grins at riley upside down. "damned if you do!" mocking, taunting. you can't win.
clark appears, broods by her side. choruses with the other two before they fade- "whole damn nation's watching you."
even as the apparitions subside, drifting in front of her instead, their song continues around riley- "what you gonna do when the chips are down, now that the chips are down?"
"here's a little tip," farrah hums, sing-song, and a bottle of belladonna wine appears in her hand.
"word to the wise," sighs chess, and suddenly her hair is filled with poppy red, flowers blooming and covering the blood from an inconspicuous stab hidden beneath her jacket.
clark, instead, seems to be spiralling, twisting the ring around his finger until it warps into a bloody knife. "here's a little snippet of advice," he sings.
three fates, always singing in the back of her mind, in front of her vision. here, they mock her. clark places the knife he is twisting before riley, and it hovers there as the spirits disappear. "men are fools, men are frail, give them the rope and they'll hang themselves."

#hehe thank you for the pun usage! paimon supremacy!!!! so so beloved#ngl i saw the 'aiyaaa' and immediately loved you a little bit more idk why it's so comforting to have reminders of culture but it Is#too many ideas and no time and focus for them what a mood! jiayou bestie#ganqing ganqing ganqing i love them so so very much#when you take the romanisation of the pinyin of ganqing it also is the same as the pinyin of 感情 even though intonations are different and#iTS LITERALLY FEELS hhHHHHh#hugs!!! *sends you hugs back* hugs hugs hugs ily#i was going to explain the watt hadestown au but it's complicated so for now: it's a mix of hadestown and watt storylines#cairo= persephone riley=hades annleigh= hermes and knows events are repeating but can't change the whole thing#chess clark and farrah = the fates after they got killed and haunt about the living#kate= orpheus and eva= eurydice#cheer squad= hadestown; mattie and reese are part of the squad#tried to get a definite timeline and also details and i would write more about the relationships for each character except i can't structure#cairo riley and annleigh are old souls bc parallel of gods and they've got history#cairo and riley are best friends and in mutual pining but along the way cairo also disagrees more and more with what riley is doing#riley however believes she's doing this for the good of the team and thinks it's the way to get cairo to love her (spoiler: no)#riley is a wallflower parallels the chant between hades and persephone after they go to hadestown#annleigh is hermes: messenger and narrator. childhood friends with kate and a bit of an older sister to her.#she knows events repeat but the story always ends the same. happy ending but with people lost. kate saves eva at the end but annleigh#annleigh never manages to save clark and farrah and as fates they haunt her. (which has layers). some shows she denies this knowledge.#and the rest is in the post because#i ran out of tags like four times bsbsjskajdj#this content is very chaotic and reads like a letter with three lift the flaps and pasted papers all over#but if you read everything good job ily and i'm sorry sksjsk#... did you know there was a ten image limit i have found that out for the first time jshdjsks#long post#watt hadestown au#we are the tigers

It’s Gonna Be May
May. May. May. She is a wild and crazy gal. And she is zipping by.
But there are a couple of constants regardless of crazy schedules, travel, work insanity and general bullshit.
Mother’s Day. My mom’s birthday. Juan’s birthday. Upfronts. The Indy 500.
Happy Birthday and Mother’s Day to Phyl. This year both were the same day.
Juan attended the Upfronts this year. He loved it. Truly one of the coolest things. We are beginning to watch pilots. Does it say we are getting older when we are excited about shows on CBS?? For the past few years, we have coupled Upfronts with an NYC theater weekend to commemorate Juan’s birthday. These things always coincide. So we try to take advantage of that.
We took a vacation day on the Friday before Upfronts and then went bananas. We shopped until we dropped. We did very bad very good things at a place that sounds like Susan Lucci. Without the Susan. And replace the L for G. Shoes are our babies.
Then we began our theatrical endeavors. On Friday night we saw Tootsie. There’s a new musical version featuring Santino Fontana as Tootsie. We looooove us some Santino. The show is really quite delightful. The time has been updated to a more modern day and some aspects of the plot have been modernized but the story is generally the gist of the movie of same name starring Mr. Dustin Hoffman. We laughed a lot. Highly recommend. It’s a fun romp and something the whole family can enjoy.
On Saturday we enjoyed a classic. Roundabout Theater Company is currently staging a revival of Kiss Me Kate at Studio 54. It features Kelli O’Hara. We loooooove us some Kelli O’Hara. Revivals are interesting. Some are staged very classicall. As originally concepted. While others are reimagined and reengineered. This particular version is a big ass classic. Choreography, orchestra, set, cast. It’s a big honkin’ Broadway show. It’s fun. There’s great music. I’d like to sup, y’all. Potentially with my baby tonight, y’all. It’s too darn hot, y’all. Plus Kelli O’Hara. She’s butter. She can come to the Cabaret whenever she’d like. Please and thank you.
Then on Sunday we saw something special. Something truly original. It’s called Hadestown. So basically the mythological tale of going to hell. Orpheus, Persephone, Hades, Eurydice and Hermes. But set in a New Orleans jazz club with a full jazz score and orchestra. My god. Juan and I were both so moved. It’s really very powerful. The ensemble is absolutely incredible and the Muses are basically narrators in three-part harmony. My god. It’s just cool. Incredibly original. The set is nuts. The lighting is amazing. The singing is so very good. My god. Andre De Shields (Google it....) plays Hermes. He is a gahtdamn living legend. He is nearly gahtdamn 80 years old and he still got it all. The singing, the dancing. He owns the stage. But the rest of the cast is right on time. Eva Noblezada is incredible. Reeve Carney is great and is making up for that Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark fucking bullshit nonsense. Amber Gray is the real deal. We loved her in Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet. And the man who played Hades is a man named Patrick Page. He has the deepest bass voice I’ve ever heard. (That’s what she said.) I cannot stop gushing about this show. I don’t know if it will tour. It’s possibly a commercial stretch but I would just love for people to experience this wonderful show.
And now we are at the end of May. Memorial Day weekend. The weekend when the masses descend upon Indianapolis. Allegedly the best strippers from Vegas and NYC are flown in to entertain the high rollers. That may or may not be true but what is true is we are getting the fuck out of Indy. We’ve done this race thing a couple of times and it’s just too much. I know many of you love May at the track. Too much gen pop. Too much MAGA. I don’t need it. I prefer May in Cali so we are off to visit Mr. Martin Robert Kator. We are going to whoop it up in Monterey, Pebble Beach and Carmel-By-The-Sea. Which sounds fancy AF. It’s going to be an awesome weekend of Pacific Ocean highjinks. Beer, wine, good food, good fun and an aquarium. Bring it.
But for real...how is it the end of May? It is unclear where 2019 has gone. We will just keep on living our best lives. That’s really all we can do.
#blessed

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/technology/entertainment/hadestown-leads-tony-award-nominations-with-14-nods/
'Hadestown' leads Tony Award nominations with 14 nods
Tumblr media
“Hadestown,” singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell’s Broadway debut, earned a leading 14 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, followed by the jukebox musical “Ain’t Too Proud,” built around songs by the Temptations, which received a dozen nominations.
The musical “Hadestown,” which intertwines the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone, bested more familiar names, including stage adaptations of the hit movies “Tootsie” and “Beetlejuice,” which both also got best musical nods. The giddy, heartwarming “The Prom” rounds out the best new musical category.
“Hadestown” also was the only new musical on Broadway directed by a woman, Tony Award nominee Rachel Chavkin, who earned another one Tuesday.
“I’m trying not to swear, but I am so proud of the 14 nominations. There is just not a weak spot on the team. There is no place where we haven’t all been working our asses off to make this show feel as ancient and as ‘now’ as possible, simultaneously,” she said by phone.
The best-play nominees are the Northern Irish drama “The Ferryman,” from Jez Butterworth; James Graham’s “Ink,” about Rupert Murdoch; Taylor Mac’s Broadway debut, “Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus”; Tarell Alvin McCraney’s “Choir Boy”; and Heidi Schreck’s “What the Constitution Means to Me,” a personal tour of the landmark document at the heart of so many American divisions.
Des McAnuff, who directed “Ain’t Too Proud,” pointed to the timeliness of his musical, which charts the rise, sacrifices and challenges facing the 1950s group that sang “Baby Love” and “My Girl.”
“I think when people come to the Imperial Theatre, they’ll find that the story is as pertinent now as it was when they lived it,” he said. “It applies to Black Lives Matter and what’s going on in this country in terms of the tensions today.”
Theater veterans were surprised to see Aaron Sorkin’s adaptation of “To Kill a Mockingbird”; “Hillary and Clinton,” about Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign; and the stage adaptation of the media satire film “Network” not getting best play nods, though they did earn recognition in other categories.
McAnuff said it has been a strong season for plays and wildly eclectic. “To me, that’s what the American theater’s about,” he said, adding he was surprised that Sorkin wasn’t recognized for his “brilliant” adaptation but “that speaks to the fact that there’s so many worthy works out there.”
The nomination for “Tootsie” means composer and lyricist David Yazbek could be one step closer to getting back-to-back wins. His show “The Band’s Visit” won best new musical last year.
Laurie Metcalf got an acting nod for “Hillary and Clinton” and if she wins the Tony this year, she will be the first person to win acting Tonys three years consecutively. (She won in 2018’s “Three Tall Women” and “A Doll’s House, Part 2” in 2017).
A sweet “Kiss Me, Kate” and a dark “Oklahoma!” make up the best musical revival category; they were the only eligible nominees. The best play revival nominees are “Arthur Miller’s All My Sons,” ”The Boys in the Band,” ”Burn This,” ”Torch Song” and “The Waverly Gallery.”
Ali Stroker, the first actress who needs a wheelchair for mobility known to have appeared on a Broadway stage, earned a Tony nomination for “Oklahoma!”
Nominees for best actor in a play include Paddy Considine from “The Ferryman,” Bryan Cranston in “Network,” Jeff Daniels in “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Adam Driver from “Burn This” and Jeremy Pope in “Choir Boy.” Pope is also up for a featured role in “Ain’t Too Proud — The Life and Times of the Temptations.”
The category of best actress in a play includes Annette Bening in “Arthur Miller’s All My Sons,” Laura Donnelly in “The Ferryman,” Elaine May in “The Waverly Gallery,” Janet McTeer in “Bernhardt/Hamlet,” Metcalf in “Hillary and Clinton” and Schreck from “What the Constitution Means to Me.”
Those nominated for best actor in a musical are Brooks Ashmanskas from “The Prom,” Derrick Baskin in “Ain’t Too Proud — The Life and Times of the Temptations,” Alex Brightman from “Beetlejuice,” Damon Daunno in “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!” and Santino Fontana in “Tootsie.”
Patrick Page, who has appeared in over a dozen Broadway shows including “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!,” ”The Lion King” and “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,” earned his first Tony nomination for playing Hades in “Hadestown.”
“I think I just appreciate it more than I can say really. It’s something I wanted. It’s hard to want something,” he said. “There have been a lot of times where I have been in the mix and haven’t been nominated. So it’s just a wonderful feeling and frankly a bit of a relief. And especially for such a wonderful show.”
Nominees for best leading actress in a musical are Stephanie J. Block in “The Cher Show,” Caitlin Kinnunen and Beth Leavel both in “The Prom,” Eva Noblezada in “Hadestown” and Kelli O’Hara in “Kiss Me, Kate.”
Leavel, who earned a Tony in 2006 for “The Drowsy Chaperone,” joked by phone that she paced “about 4 miles” waiting for the live announcement: “I got my steps in!” Her musical, about four fading stars whose desperate need for a new stage leads them to protest a small-town prom, earned seven nods. She expects an especially fun performance Tuesday night following the nominations: “It’s just a special evening,” she said. “We get to share this moment. It’s really cool.”
Block, a veteran of Broadway shows such as “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” and “Falsettos,” got her third nomination for playing one of three actresses who portray the title character in “The Cher Show.”
“Stepping into the life of Cher each night and getting to tell her story eight times a week is a one-of-a-kind experience I will always cherish. This show has truly changed me,” she said in a statement.
Hollywood A-listers Cranston, Driver, May and Daniels made the cut but some of their starry colleagues did not, including Kerry Washington, Armie Hammer, Ethan Hawke, Joan Allen, Michael Cera, Lucas Hedges and Keri Russell.
For a few theater veterans behind the scenes, the nominations were doubly good: Ann Roth was nominated for creating the costumes for both “Gary: A Sequel to Titus Andronicus” and “To Kill a Mockingbird,” while William Ivey Long earned nods for both “Beetlejuice” and “Tootsie.”
The awards will be presented June 9 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, airing on CBS. James Corden, the host of CBS’ “The Late Late Show” and a Tony winner himself, will host.

Evita Falsettos Finding Neverland First Date Frozen
Hadestown
Hadestown | Broadway | January 2020 | MP4
Cast: Reeve Carney (Orpheus), Eva Noblezada (Eurydice), Patrick Page (Hades), Amber Gray (Persephone), André De Shields (Hermes), Jewelle Blackman (Fate), Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer (Fate), Kay Trinidad (Fate)
Notes:  Shot from the front mezzanine, front of stage action is captured great from between the bar. The bar obstructs a bit when performers are on the upper levels of the stage but overall very watchable. Capture includes the entire show, including partial curtain call (missing We Raise Our Cups). With my other master, you can get a great visual of the entirety of the show's beautiful choreography and staging.
