Top five musicals?

Thanks so much for asking!!! There's definitely a lot more over which I've completely obsessed over the years and presently than just the top five, but these have stayed pretty consistent for me:

5. The Producers: Should I have been allowed to see this as young as an age as I was? Probably not, but in my family, Mel Brooks kind of took precedence over 'age appropriateness', and so it's been since woven into my DNA! Structurally, it's pretty much perfect, which is fitting for a love letter to Broadway. The score is pretty much perfect, and the fact that That Face was written about Anne Bancroft absolutely melts me just the same as Where Did We Go Right? and Keep It Gay leave me in stitches. (To say nothing of the absolute setpiece made out of Springtime for Hitler.) There's not a single skippable song, every joke lands wonderfully (including the updates from the original film!), and every character is an absolute joy to watch. I know there's debate as to whether the gay jokes have aged well, but imo Roger and Carmen are arguably the most moral - and lovable - characters in the show. Likewise, there's really no other musical that ends Act One with the protagonist saying "I got this" and solving a major conflict by having sex with an entire chorus of old ladies for money.

4. Wicked: Yes, yes, the quintessential "I was an outcast girl in the 2000s" musical, but it holds up!! There's a marvellous spectacle and such a strong focus on women and female relationships (which you really, really don't get in way too many shows), and a truly engaging fantasy setting with contemporary yet instantly classic songs by the incomparable Stephen Schwartz. It's a reinterpretation of a classic that'll make you look at it completely differently, and For Good still hits different. Also, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished is like...Epiphany: For Her! We love to see it! I love the magical and stage effects, and done right, the ending always tugs at the heartstrings.

3. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: There's nothing quite like the joy of being told in no uncertain terms you're not supposed to watch something, and sneaking to watch it anyway, but that's how 10 year old me got introduced via the Burton film, and subsequently found the Hearn/Lansbury proshot online - and the rest was history! This is probably my favourite score in any musical - Sondheim pulls out all the stops, and it is just gorgeous to listen to - seriously, go listen to the 2012 London Revival version of God, That's Good or any version of Kiss Me/Ladies In Their Sensitivities, or the triumphant build to the end of A Little Priest. This tale of Victorian vengeance, squalor, love and loss and deceit is delightfully ghastly, with a truly complex leading lady in the form of Mrs. Lovett, humour that still holds up, and a sense of foreboding that no other horror musical has ever quite reached. I absolutely love how it explores the fears of dehumanization through industrialism while juggling the man-devouring-man plotline, hope versus cynicism, and hypocrisy. And so, so, so much blood. The foreshadowing is Greek Tragedy levels, and I literally can't get enough of it. Absolutely the show that got me through my angsty teen years.

2. The Phantom of the Opera: Is not only still there, inside my mind, but is largely responsible for a good portion of my personality. Seeing it as a bookish twelve year old is basically the quintessential brain-rewiring experience, and my tiny chatterbox self was left in absolutely stunned silence for several hours after leaving the theatre. (I then proceeded to never shut up for it for the following thirteen years, so.) The music is the absolute best of Andrew Lloyd Webber's work, and it's still the biggest visual treat of any show - those stunning sets and those gorgeous costumes are the best in the biz and absolutely transport you into the heart of the story. The play-within-the-play elements of the operas pastiching various popular operas are so delightful, and Masquerade is one of the absolute greatest sequences in theatrical history. The spectacle, the dancing, the effects...pure magic. And of course, it really is the gothic romance in my mind, complete with a truly compelling, admirable, and fierce heroine. And yes, I do still cry at the appropriate moments.

Les Misérables: There really is no other choice but this one. I was lucky enough to see the revival with Norm Lewis as Javert (greatest performance ever!) as a kid, and though much of the plot was lost on kid!me, I stayed with it before getting back into it something fierce in middle school. The book is my all-time favourite book, and the musical is an absolutely incredible feat in adapting All That. The word 'epic' has been run into the ground, but there's no other word to describe the show. The constant reprises of melodies to indicate the cyclical nature of both the narratives and the themes of injustice and unrequited love is absolutely masterful (also, the use of the exact same melody for Valjean and Javert's soliloquies, one for the birth of a new life, the other a death after being unable to accept one! unbelievable), and paired with the turntable, is something incredible. The songs are unforgettable, the characters stand the test of time and still resonate for a reason, and it successfully gets me to laugh, cry, and cheer every time. It may not have invented the Act 1 Multi-Part Reprise Finale, but by gum, it perfected it. It's really the perfect musical in every sense of the word, and it all comes down to how a single act of kindness can change everything.

#ask night!#thank you!!!!!#musicals

You cannot convince me that Lasko isn’t/wasn’t a musical nerd. He’s always quoting shit. His favorites include: Be more Chill, Hadestown, Natasha Pierre and the great comment of 1812, Mean Girls, Hamilton (because he’s basic let’s be honest here.

And once he finds out a certain Freelancer was really into musical theatre too? Oh he lost his shit. These two are always quoting musicals, and acting them out together (in front of Gavin). Gavin has caught them belting songs from Legally Blond. OH I FORGOT TO MENTION LASKO LOVES FALSETTOS, shows it to Gavin, he cried like a mf.

Karaoke with Lasko and Freelancer is hell because all they choose is musicals. They make Huxley sing with them.

Lasko was a theatre kid, but really stage shy. He can sing really well tho, Damien too.

I love Lasko being a theater kid bc it just fits his character. Bc he’s a air elemental he can sing really fast and not run out of breath (coughcough guns and ships coughcough)

Asking FL and Lasko singing musicals???? Fuck yes!!!!! All I can imagine is Lasko and FL singing “Kiss Me” from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (bc that’s my favorite song from that musical also I like singing Joanna’s part)

Hux as no fucking clue what he’s singing but that man has a nice deep singing voice and he likes seeing his friends happy

Damien won’t join in as much as Hux will, but when he does it’s like a trio. Lasko, FL, and Damien sounds so good together

Gavin just record the entire thing, whether they preform a whole scene or not, bc he thinks it’s ducking cute

Caelum also likes being there for when they preform while scenes bc he thinks it’s fun

#I now want the whole DAMN group to just be a quartet #that would be amazing #leto_talks #redacted asmr #blu 🥨#redacted huxley #redacted damien #redacted lasko #redacted freelancer #redacted gavin #redacted caelum #redacted damn polycule

I’m Here

Pairing - Tadashi Yamaguchi x gn!Reader

Word Count - 513

Genre - fluff / angst

Synopsis - Yamaguchi comforts the reader as he remembers promises he made himself.

a/n - I wrote this for a musical collab! This story was inspired by Not While I’m Around from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. It’s one of my favorite musicals and the song is absolutely hauntingly beautiful. @drxxmofyou put this together!

As Seen On Screen masterlist!

He cradled you in his arms as you quietly sobbed into his shoulder. He could feel his wet t-shirt sticking to his skin, but it didn’t bother him. The only thing he cared about was you and making sure you knew you were okay. He whispered so many things to you, specifically how amazing you were and how things shouldn’t have happened the way they did. He still remembered the day you expressed how comforting it was to be around you. Even though it was just a passing comment, it made his entire life that much better because of how much you meant to him. If only he would have seen how uncomfortable you were when you left; If only he had picked up his phone that much sooner; if only he would have shown up a moment earlier; if only he could have kept you from that demon with the charming smile.

Yamaguchi knew that it was useless for him to make pointless scenarios that turned out for the better. What happened wasn’t going to change no matter how badly he wished it. It hurt that he couldn’t save you, especially because he had sworn he would always be there for you. He wanted to be your rock, the person that you needed in your life, and he found out that he could pretend he was that for you, at least a little bit. When he was around you, he knew you were safe, and that nothing could hurt you. He was fine not being your person.... because he knew that whoever you chose would make you happy. He just hoped that on the day when he spoke the truth his heart yearned to yell, you would accept and reciprocate. It was a silly little thing, but the fact that you were here with him, soaking his shirt with your tears, made his heart swell, because at this moment… you had chosen him. He could feel himself calming down and sighed as he held you tighter, and that was all that mattered. He felt you relaxing into him and he carefully helped you down onto the couch before wrapping a blanket around you.

“Thank you, Yams.” You whispered, burying your face into his neck. He laid one of his hands on your back and let his fingers dance across your clothed skin.

“I would do anything for you, you know that.” He spoke gently, hoping that his words would lift your spirits, at least just a little. “You’re okay. I’m here.” He felt you take a deep breath as if the worries of the world were leaving you. Letting his mouth rest on your head, he applied the tiniest bit of pressure in a sweet, tender kiss. Whether you noticed or not, he had no idea, but he didn’t care. It was the little things he did that let him express how he truly felt. The deep connection he felt with you was something that he would cherish forever, and being close to you was enough. At least for the time being.

taglist: @kxgeyamasmilk @kneeshinoya @namyari @kingkagss @oyakags @cosmictooru @yams046 @shouyouwrites @hanibuni @makkihoe @over5feettall @spicyness @janellion @j-brielmalfoy @spriteandnicotine @shoyosun @dorkyama @sushimii if you want added, click here! if you want off, just let me know :)

what musical you should watch/listen to based on your fave Danganronpa 1/2 characters

the series in general: just watch Fame

Makoto Naegi: Singin’ in the Rain. watch it even if he isn’t your favorite.

Sayaka Maizono: Legally Blonde. please don’t ask me how many of these i’ve seen because it’s a shamefully small number but the music slaps and I can see her singing the songs from this one.

Leon Kuwata: Damn Yankees. yes, there’s baseball musical. Leon would probably hate it.

Mukuro Ikusaba: Wicked. “I’m Not That Girl” is very very her.

Chihiro Fujisaki: Annie

Mondo Oowada: West Side Story. you should watch this anyway, but you should especially watch this if you are mlm.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: Fiddler On the Roof

Hifumi Yamada: i’m not sure if he’s even anyone’s favorite or what, really, would fit him so i just kinda wrote down Hairspray because of the body positivity

Celes Ludenberg: there were like four i considered but in the end i think Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street fits her best.

Sakura Oogami: Aida (i’m thinking of the song “Fortune Favors the Brave”)

Aoi Asahina: Annie Get Your Gun

Toko Fukawa: Chicago

Byakuya Togami: How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying which is, i assume, his life story (or at the very least sounds like a book he would write)

Kyouko Kirigiri: Kiss Me, Kate

Yasuhiro Hagakure: Bounce

Junko Enoshima: Heathers, naturally

Monokuma: dear god, why The Devil’s Carnival; it’s short and please for the love of god read the trigger warnings

Hajime Hinata: Company. he just gives me strong Bobby vibes.

Twogami: Merrily We Roll Along

Teruteru Hanamura: A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum

Mahiru Koizumi: Newsies (this is such a low grab but like)

Peko Pekoyama: Gigi

Hiyoko Saionji: Into the Woods. she has big Little Red Riding Hood vibes to me.

Ibuki Mioda: American Idiot. like it’s a punk rock opera what more do you want.

Mikan Tsumiki: Spring Awakening, no real good reason why but something about the tragedy of it all seems to fit her for me

Nekomaru Nidai: i don’t know. i really don’t. like i’m just gonna throw Oliver! out there.

Gundham Tanaka: again kinda bounced around with this one but I think at the end of the day the best one for him would be Little Shop of Horrors, which you should absolutely watch if you have not seen it already

Nagito Komaeda: Les Miserables and please don’t ask me why

Chiaki Nanami: Matilda

Kazuichi Souda: Be More Chill. it’s what he needs tbh

Sonia Nevermind: i was gonna be that basic bitch that said [redacted] until my friend reminded me that Assassins exists, and that’s far more Soniacore

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu: Guys & Dolls. that’s not even a fucking question that’s just his personality. bonus points to you if you watch the film version which is not nearly as good but has Frank Sinatra in it and you get to look at Marlon Brando for like two and a half hours

Akane Owari: My Fair Lady. she’s got eliza doolittle energies.

Monomi: something real freakin nerdy like School House Rock Live (yeah, that’s a thing, no, i don’t want to talk about it!)

A Musical Analysis of Sweeney Todd ; the Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Original and Revised Score Composed by Stephen Sondheim.

How would you present a great theatrical tragedy as a film?

A Soundtrack Comparison ; 1979 - 2007

The original cast soundtrack for the 1979 broadway production of Sweeney Todd ; The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is far longer than its later film adaptation. The 1979 broadway score had 31 songs including optional songs. This does not include songs that are in two parts. The soundtrack of the 2007 movie adaptation had fewer songs, a total of 20-21 songs.

Many songs from the theatre production of Sweeney Todd were cut for the movie. Some songs, like all versions of “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd” from beginning to end, were combined with the song before them, coming in at the end of a song as an instrumental. An example of these combinations is in the song “My Friends” on the 2007 official soundtrack, the composition for “Lift Your Razor High Sweeney” is added in. The words from it are cut.

With as many songs as the theatre version had, many songs were cut from the movie entirely. Johanna loses two whole songs. This is because the movie put less focus on the love story between Anthony and Johanna. The entire song “Kiss Me” was removed, leaving “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” as Johanna’s only song. “The Contest (Part 2) - Tooth Pulling Scene” was removed for the movie, “Ah, Miss” was removed almost entirely. “Ah Miss” was cut to only Lucy’s part near the end, becoming “Alms, Alms”. The middle part of Green Finch and Linnet Bird, from measure 25 to 44 was cut. All the Parlor songs, Wigmakers sequence, and more are cut from Tim’s adaptation.

Emotion Conveyed Through Music

The base storyline of Sweeney Todd is an absolute tragedy. The story is anything but lighthearted, having heavy topics such as murder, rape, canibbalism, child abuse, and child labor. To quote Sondheim himself, “it’s a tale of obsession”. Minor key is this musical's best friend. Earlier developments of the story were slowly made more in depth to show just how demented the mind of Sweeney Todd was. Sondheim had written his musical adaption seeing the take on this stage play by Christopher Bond. It was heavily exaggerated, and more dramatic. Sondheim has beautifully written a score for this piece.

Organ or Celesta, many various string instruments, brass, and Timpani drums among other percussion were used for the 1979 theatre production. It consisted of a 26 piece orchestra. The organ or celesta, and Timpani are some of the loudest instruments used in this orchestra, both creating loud booming music. The music is really what gave the show its magnetism. Hearing a noise or seeing a character come up and sing directs the audience's attention on that part of the show. If the story is not easy to follow, it’s important to have characters be up front.

Use of Leitmotifs and Dies Irae

Dies Irae, a latin composition often associated with evil, is used throughout the score. It is most prominent in all versions of “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd”, or its name in the film, “Opening Title”. Dies Irae begins with the lyrics “Dies irae, Dies Illa”. It reoccurs in the musical multiple times as a leitmotif, often when a character enters a room, or a close up shot in the movie is taking place. It’s used for dramatic effect.

Whatever patches between dialogue or direct song in the film adaptation that could be filled by quiet music, was filled by quiet music. Pianissimo, soft enough to hear noise, or during dialogue, soft enough to understand the subject speaking. The most common background music or leitmotif is a melody similar to the end of “The Barber and His Wife”.

A vocal type is the range of notes a person can sing from low to high. There are 6 base vocal types.

The lowest vocal type is bass. This vocal type is pretty much always sung by people assigned male at birth.

The second lowest is baritone, this is also a common vocal type for amab* people. This is the vocal type of Sweeney Todd, or he can be played by a bass-baritone.

The third lowest and second highest masculine vocal range is tenor. A tenor lies somewhere between countertenor (highest amab vocal range) and baritone range. Adolfo Pirelli, Tobias Ragg, and Beadle Bamford can be categorized as tenors.

Countertenor is an masculine equivalent of the feminine mezzo-soprano or contralto. It is the highest adult masculine vocal type.

Tobias Ragg can also be categorized as a vocal type called boy soprano, a vocal type for boys with voices that haven’t deepened yet. This vocal type is almost exact to the feminine soprano. This makes boy soprano technically the highest masculine vocal type.

Contralto is the rarest feminine vocal type, and the lowest feminite vocal type. A contralto range is almost identical to a countertenor. Nellie Lovett can be categorized as a contralto, or a mezzo-soprano. A mezzo-soprano is the vocal range between a contralto and soprano. Mezzo-soprano translates to “half soprano”.

A soprano is the highest overall vocal range, and almost always sung by people assigned female at birth. A male singer being able to sing a soprano range through a falsetto or head voice would be called a sopranist. Lucy and Johanna Barker are both Sopranos.

Playing the roles (1979 - 2007)

The acting varies widely between theatre and film, especially in this case since it was a broadway musical. The singing was of course a big difference between the two, doing a live performance with just your vocals on an extremely large stage is far different then doing a lip sync to a pre recorded version of your song. The set dressing, or positioning of actor on stage, is slightly different as well, especially with how much choreography or dancing the broadway play held. The broadway performance also had a lot more movement than its film counterpart, which at times gave the illusion of it being more fast paced than the movie. The acting in the theatre version was a lot more expressive, because it had to be seen by the audience from far away. With how far away the audience can be from the stage, plus a lack of lighting in certain parts of production, the movements had to be bigger to

be seen. A lot of the recording in the film adaptation is taken as mid shots, which shows actors from the waist up, taking up ⅓ or less than ⅓ of the frame. The movements were smaller in the film as they could be seen extremely easily. Some scenes that were intense or emotional had scenes shot at medium long shots, where the actor is show from the legs up, to capture more of the movement.

interview.

broadway babies: what it’s like to grow up on stage

Story by Elizabeth Schuyler, reporter for Playbill Magazine.

Famous friendships have been made on the stages of Broadway, but none quite as close as youngsters Madison Henderson, 21, and Holly Blake, 24, who are singing and dancing their way into our hearts.

The two met during an Off-Broadway production of a musical adaption of the cult classic 80s film Heathers, and moved in together halfway during rehearsals. Despite playing bitter revivals in their first show together, the two couldn't be friendlier.

I was welcomed to their apartment when Madison opened the door, one shoe missing but positively beaming. She's very excited for this interview - even if she hadn't already told me, it's obvious in her energy as she bounces over to me and greets me with a wonderful hug.

When I'm ushered inside, I see that the apartment is quaintly furnished, with a few small plants dotted around; there's a couple of scripts placed on the coffee table, one for each young woman; overall, a pretty minimalist apartment, dressed in black or white and accented with the bright colours of plants, the odd painting, and books.

I follow Madison into the small kitchen/dining area and take a seat at the table when her counterpart comes in from down the hall. The two bump into each other for a second and Madison goes on the hunt for her missing shoe and Holly laughs, steps aside for her friend, before stepping over to me. She, too, greets me with a hug, and tells me to take a seat.

Holly makes a pot of tea – the correct way, she jokes, by warming the teapot first – before bringing the tray with matching milk and sugar bowls over to the table. By the time she sits down, Madison has given up on the second shoe and returned, barefoot.

Madison is no stranger to Broadway. She had small parts in a few shows as a child, debuting as Molly, the youngest orphan in Annie. She says she doesn't really count it, though, and says that she feels like her time as Liesl in the first all black Sound of Music was her true Broadway debut.

"I didn't really know what was going on when I was that small. Like, I was singing some songs with my friends. Liesl is different, I actually remember being nervous about auditions. It's also very important being an all black show of what's traditionally very white."

She's currently playing Natasha in the new musical Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812. It's one of the roles she's been most excited to take on – this is the first time she's ever originated a role, especially one so weighty. The show, she tells me, is adaption of Tolstoy's novel War and Peace.

"Oh my God." Madison laughs, touching her forehead and retelling the story of the phone call. "Our producer was like, the part's yours, and I just cried. I get emotional. I've been emotional about certain roles before but this was so different. I'm the first! I still see myself as a kid from New Orleans, not a Broadway actress."

"Or Tony nominee." The redhead opposite her interjects, grinning.

Madison's nomination for best actress as Natasha is her first ever nomination for any role, and doesn't expect to win. Holly scoffs, confident that her friend has it in the bag.

"One of us has to be optimistic for you."

Madison's other previous roles include being the first black Elle Woods in Legally Blonde: the Musical, Mimi Marquez in Rent, and of course, Veronica Sawyer in Heathers: the Musical (off-Broadway).

"We met during Heathers. It was her first show in New York, and so we had to show her how it was done." Madison nods towards Holly, who smiles modestly.

The elder between the two has been very successful in Australia, where she was born and raised, having a resume just as impressive, including Sally Bowles in Cabaret (for which she won a Green Room award), playing both young and grown up Cosette in two different versions of Les Miserables, and Janet Weiss in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

"Australian theatre is different. We have one cast that tours, instead of various casts across the country like it is here, so I travelled a lot growing up."

Holly played Heather Chandler opposite Madison in Heathers: the Musical, but her first show here was the national tour of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Currently, she is taking her Broadway debut as her ultimate dream role as Penny Pingleton in the Hairspray revival.

"Penny's my be-all-and-end-all. If I never worked again I wouldn't even be mad." She laughs, only half joking.

We break into conversation about various things, including Holly worrying I made it to their apartment alright, Madison's "low-key" addiction to Flaming Hot Cheetos, before the topic of fellow actor Thomas Jefferson comes up.

Jefferson, 31, plays Seaweed, Penny's love interest in Hairspray, and is nominated for best supporting actor in a revival of a musical. Similarly to Holly, the show is his Broadway debut.

Holly laughs as Madison scowls. It seems the two do not get along. There's a quick exchange of words between the two:

Madison starts, "He's a pig."

"Thomas Jefferson is a doll and you're basically in love with him." Holly fires back, tongue pressed against her cheek as she fails to hold back a grin.

Her friend is riled up, but turns to me. "Eliza, she's a liar. It's terrible, really. It's such a shame, she'd be so nice otherwise-"

Holly laughs, swears at her friend (it's the thickest her accent sounds throughout the entire time I'm with them), and turns to me.

"He's great. Really witty. Brilliant dancer." Her eyes flick to her friend. "Good kisser."

Of course, the two lock lips multiple times a week, sharing various kisses throughout each performance, but it unsettles Madison all the same.

"That's disgusting. Apologise to Eliza."

"Eliza, I'm sorry that Madison doesn't realise how much she wants him. It's a really painful situation to walk into."

Madison throws her teaspoon at Holly, who gets hit, but laughs all the same.

A week passes and I catch up with Madison again, just as she finishes her first show on this two-show Saturday. I've sat and watched the show and the youngest cast member is phenomenal: emotional, brilliant, and memorable. It's no surprise that she's nominated for the Tony.

As we're walking over to the Richard Rodgers Theatre, where Holly is performing (which is right next door to the Imperial Theatre, where Madison is performing), we chat about what it's like to grow up on stage.

"It's weird. It's a weird kind of fame." She remarks. "I can be getting coffee or food before a show, just waiting in line, and then somebody asks for a photo or whatever and everyone else is looking at me like, 'Who are you and why are you important?'"

We slip in through the stage door and we go through and sit in the dressing room that Holly shares with her two castmates Abigail Smith (who plays Tracy Turnblad) and Dolley Payne (who plays Amber von Tussle). The room is decorated with a string of lights at the window, and an old purple couch at the end of the room where we sit. There’s a group of three candles in yellow, pink, and green (to represent Amber's, Penny's, and Tracy's pageant dresses), all matching and sitting on the small side table where a docking station sits. There’s a phone plugged in, softly playing hits of the late fifties and early sixties.

Live music pumps from below us as Madison starts to rifle through the shared mini fridge, where there's a small plastic bag with a note taped to it, bearing Madison's name. She takes it out, and inside it is a bottle of water and a bag of Hot Cheetos. She reads the note aloud:

"Madison, hope you managed to break in alright. Tell Eliza she's welcome to whatever she wants from the fridge, if anything, but I bought you these so you'd stop taking Abigail's snacks. Love, Holly."

About twenty minutes pass and Holly appears at the door in a bright pink dress and riding on the back of John Adams, the actor who plays Link Larkin and the Anthony to her Johanna in the Sweeney Todd days. Hairspray is a mini reunion for them - actors George King and Louis Roi, playing Corny Collins and Wilbur Turnblad respectively, were Toby and Sweeney Todd in the tour.

Holly squeals and slides off his back before he races off, calling for Baron von Steuben (yes, that Baron von Steuben, who plays Edna Turnblad) as he races off. She comes in, pulls off her shoes, and sits in her seat opposite her mirror. Her dressing room neighbours dart in, change quickly, and rush out to meet fans at the stage door, whilst the redhead begins to undress carefully so the three of us can get coffee (I’ve been invited to their Saturday ritual of coffee and food between shows).

Madison is talking about John Laurens, her Pierre, as her friend listens intently, removing her wig and pinning it to her wig stand. There’s something very familial and sisterly about the two of them, and it’s heartwarming. The two giggle as they joke about something I’ve missed whilst looking at the photos pressed to Holly’s mirror.

Previous casts, two of her and Madison, and a couple of her family back home. Madison points out Holly’s parents to me as she changes from her costume into her regular clothes.

The door is opened and a young man walks in. Madison's up first to hug him, and he smiles at her. His name is Usnavi, and he's the brilliant tech that works at each show that Hudson Theatrical Associates oversees in alternating weeks, or whenever there's a problem. He's spent most of his time over at Natasha, making small changes every week as new shows go through scores of changes every so often.

He walks over to Holly, who hands him her mic belt and headset. She introduces him to me, and he shakes my hand, but his attention is quickly turned back to Holly, whisking her away for a quick mic check before the second show.

Madison snorts. "That boy keeps telling her that her batteries are going out so he can spend time with her."

I ask if he has told her that. She responds with: "He don't need to."

We eventually make it to coffee and the girls converse so regularly that it's difficult to believe that they're winners and nominees of highly revered awards. It's a wonder how two people so young can be so accomplished and talented and still find time to be young. Madison enjoys the New York night life, and makes sure to dedicate time to spending a night out with her friends whenever she gets a few days off, and Holly has a teaching degree.

The Australian throws her head back in laughter at something her younger friend has said, and Madison is beaming with a dazzling brightness, giggling too at her own joke. It's so odd to see these girls in lights and costumes and then twenty minutes later see them curled up in hoodies and leggings, talking about culture and coffee like us normal people, especially when so many young people who grow up under a spotlight end up stressed or arrogant.

"There ain't no reason to be arrogant. I'll pull it with my brother, you know, like, 'Oh, I'm Tony nominated, what are you doing?', but it's never serious." Madison says, shrugging.

Holly adds, "I used to think I was it and a bit for a while, but then I went to uni and I had no friends so nobody knew who I was really, and then it hit me. Sounds bad. It's nice to be important, but it's important to be nice."

The two girls will finish their runs soon enough. Madison finishes about three months earlier, but is greatly looking forward to the time off, but will likely be featured in the Tony performance that Natasha is bound to do. She can't confirm, but I'm certain of it.

Holly, too, is likely to perform, as Hairspray is a show with big, crowd pleasing fan favourites. With the Tonys less than two months away, I for one can't wait to see what these ladies and their respective shows will pull off.

As for their future beyond these shows, the ladies confirm the Wicked rumours – they will, in fact, be starring opposite one another in the roles of Elphaba and Glinda.

They've known it's been a goal for them to appear together on stage again since Heathers, and there's nothing more iconic than that duo. Madison will be painted green and Holly will wear Broadway's most glittered crown in a date yet to be confirmed.

"We can't say much about it. We know the parts are ours, but we don't have scripts or anything yet."

"We both know the show by heart though."

"I think everyone does."

It's nice to know that Broadway's still producing sweet, clever leading ladies, both on and off stage.

See Madison in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 at the Imperial Theatre, or see Holly in Hairspray at the Richard Rodgers Theatre! Tickets are selling out fast for both shows, so don’t miss out.

Don't forget to catch the Tonys on June 12, at 6/7c, and look out for all of the latest Playbill articles to keep you up to date on all your favourite show business!
