#three dates with marvin and whizzer

[phierecycled]

The sound Whizzer makes after Marvin goes “After he left;” just screams “Bitch, you and I both saw you put that suitcase on the ground.”.

Life was like saukerkraut, good if you put it on a hot dog. Hell, I want more than just a hot dog.

I need everyone to listen to "Three dates with Marvin and Whizzer: A true story" right now it's such a good song and I'm actually so upset it didn't make the cut

Also, it's hard to make the lyrics out so here are the lyrics!

[yuenity]

Forever mourning the loss of Three Dates with Marvin and Whizzer and the This Had Better Come to a Stop reprise. Marvin and Whizzer fixing their relationship? Marvin working to fix his mistakes and change his behaviors? Whizzer giving him another chance but not forgetting what Marvin did to him? IM SICK

[richie-shitlips]

darling can you please tell me about My High School Sweetheart. i am so normal about Sweetheart.

yes definitely absolutely

i feel like i've told you a lot of this but shhhhh no i haven't

as you know i see the show as marvin telling his story to whizzer (which i haven't actually said in these posts yet! just hasn't been necessary, but this is the one i have the biggest evidence for actually)

but it starts out in sweethearts perspective! marvin has trouble figuring out what's real and not throughout the musical (i'll make a different post explaining why i think he's schizophrenic at a later date) so the repetition of "i'm a person" is sorta a mantra for him. and in the process, he forgets that other people are real too (*cough* npd *cough*)

this whole song is confusing cause i also get the boys in the band vibes from the first verse ("Michael, you are a real person" "Thank you, and fuck you!") but that doesn't fit anywhere else in the analysis so it's going here

"i want to hold him, but he's not alive" is a line only in the 1985 version, and i think it's foreshadowing for I Feel Him Slipping Away! but also it just ties into the general metaphor of love and death in in trousers :)

"i say a person has her wants and needs, i'm not a greedy person! he says i'm just ridickalous!" i'd assume this is marvin calling her greedy for wanting/needing affection and love from him

"put me onto your bed, not a pedestal" is just a really good line in general but like. she's still saying to treat her like a person. even in bed, don't worship her, she'd be happy with just being treated decently. it's really fucking sad

then we meet miss goldberg for the first time in the show, and wow what a way to introduce a character! you get high expectations of her and also jealousy from sweetheart and also makes you wonder just what her relationship with marvin is?

"she gave me words to say" could mean just lines in the play, but i also see it as her telling him to lie about what happened between them. if you're new here, i see miss goldberg as a groomer, and i'll talk more about that if you ask me about set those sails or the r of miss goldberg...

unrelated but i like to think that marvin's moms name was nina and that's why he gets so happy about the boats! (in the dialogue. for fans of only the 1979 version, it goes as such: "Queen Isabella, as you recall, had three ships: The Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. The Santa Maria being the best looking of the three, lots of gold and carved wood. Even the Pinta had its admirers. But it was the Nina Christopher was fondest of- for it was named after his mother, Nina Columbus!" which is a blatant lie but shh he's infodumping)

another interpretation of that dialogue is that it's a metaphor for the ladies, as in the trinity college production he gestures to wife, sweetheart, and goldberg respectively as he talks. which says that he sees goldberg in a sort of maternal way at first, which is really sad

then, after goldberg sings her part, marvin repeats it with her, which is what i say him telling whizzer about. bragging about what a good actor he was and such "i love the way marvin acts, i do"

the second dialogue is interesting cause goldberg is compared to isabella in a way, and marvin is obviously columbus, which implies that there was something romantic or sexual between them (which there was, no matter how you look at it)

I want an apology letter from William Finn explaining why Three Dates With Marvin and Whizzer: A True Story and The Chess Game Reprise didn’t make the Final Cut.

10. Something bad is happening reprise/ Another Miracle of Judaism (specifically the original cast versions)

11. Marvin or Mendel (I have literally written things about Mendel’s development and as for Marvin his growth is really important to me for so many reasons I’ll have to write a whole thing on it omg)

12. I would maybe give the lesbians more scenes but I also understand that the reasons why they don’t have as many yk the run time and stuff. Either that or I would add ‘Three Dates with Marvin and Whizzer’ back in

13. Cancelling the Bar Mitzvah change my mind about Mendel because it really shows his development

15. Trina

23. The songs and characters rahhhhh (and I have ranted)

24. Anyone from the ‘The Boys in the Band’

25. Jason, he and I are very similar as well as Jason’s relationship with his dad. Me and my dads relationship is very similar to Marvin and Jason’s

26. Whizzer and Jason (I’m a sucker for good paternal relationships, Ik this is off topic but this is the same reason I love the healthy batfam stuff)

27. “Go ahead and kill your mother. Not with guns, but kill your mother”

28. Marvin hitting Trina

29. Omg I have so many artists/editors in this fandom that I love it’s hard to chose one, but off the top of my head. I love @nova-ish ‘s art it’s so beautiful and for editing rn @late4dinnerlateagain is really great I love their Marvin weatherman edits as well as the other stuff they make

30. I don’t have anything to add other then that I love falsettos so much and it means the world to me

That’s it :D I’m going to try and post more again soon , I have been very busy recently with school ending and life stuff. I’ve also been doing a lot more theater stuff so I might post some performance pictures and videos if you guys want it idk. Also sorry for any grammar issues in this post I don’t have time to proofread it.

I REALLY HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE HEARD THE MASTERPIECE FROM THE FALSETTOLAND WORKSHOP THAT IS THREE DATES WITH MARVIN AND WHIZZER

(here it is if you haven’t heard it)

[findroleplay]

hello !!

i am 18, looking for a rp partner who is 18+ to roleplay some MUSICALS with me!! i mostly write over discord but wouldn't mind any alternatives — please allow me to have slow replies from here to there because of life.

LIKE THIS POST IF ANY OF THIS PLOTS INTEREST YOU! i will get back to you!

PLOT ONE :: WHIZZVIN

(marvin x whizzer from FALSETTOS — specifically the 2016 revival as i like their storytelling just a tad better)

— we can do something either based around act one or act two as im completely okay with either one. im okay with nsfw, angst, happy, et cetera. it could be fun to explore marvin and whizzers relationship more within act one when they first move in together or even their relationship in act two when whizzer gets in the hospital. LOOKING FOR A WHIZZER!! (although i would not mind playing him for act two only).

PLOT TWO :: MCPRICELEY

(elder price x elder mckinley from THE BOOK OF MORMON. although i would be open to any other ships between the elders!)

— mcpriceley can be fun to do either during their time with the church or their time out of the church. it can be up to discussion whether we want them to be falling for each other or denying it ,, this is a plot to talk a little bit more in specifics when we get to dms. open to nsfw, angst, happy, et cetera. LOOKING FOR AN ELDER MCKINLEY. or any other elder like cunningham or what not.

PLOT THREE :: EMMETT AND ELLE

(emmett and elle from the 2007 LEGALLY BLONDE MUSICAL)

— they could be fun to do more of a slice of life sort of roleplay, to have girl winner and boy loser go out together. we could explore their time together and them really getting to date and learn about each other's life. maybe their first summer together as a couple? obviously more can be worked on. open to nsfw, angst, happy, et cetera. LOOKING FOR AN ELLE WOODS.

[phierecycled]

Marvin canonically getting emotional support from the lesbians before his second first date with Whizzer >>>>>

[kentucky-fried-thea]

Falsettos, my beloved

yay!

before i do this, I am a Jewish homosexual

ok so a huge Cube, whizzer, marvin, mendel weisenbachfeld (that is honestly the most jewish name I have ever heard) and jason are on stage. they are all (minus the Cube) dressed as miscellaneous biblical characters, and sing a song containing the word 'bitch' 72 times and counting. the song ends with them saying they are Jewish, ending in whizzer shouting "Half Jewish!", then take off the costumes to reveal normal clothes, while Trina collects the costumes in a laundry basket and reminds them that she also exists.

the Cube is taken apart to represent each scene as needed. this is universal throughout act one, so I'm not gonna mention it anymore til act 2.

marvin is trina's husband and jason's dad. more importantly, he's a weatherman. he explains that he really wants a tight-knit family, then immediately cheats on his wife with whizzer. he and whizzer are kinda concerned that they're falling out of love, although its likely the weight of reality is just crushing down on them (or something)

oh and also trina goes to a psychiatrist bc her marriage is imploding and his name is Dr. Mendel Weisenbachfeld (could this man get any more Jewish I s2g) and then marvin goes to the same psychiatrist and mendel the simp basically just asks him about trina because he wants her or smthn idk man

then jason has an identity crisis and calls his dad a slur and everyone tries to make jason also go to the psychiatrist because everyone in this family is fucked up and basically jason shows favoritism to whizzer, forces mendel to make a house call, and mendel's tiny dick explodes

then whizzer gets fed up with Marvin's bullshit and tries to break it up and trina has a mental breakdown featuring a knife, a banana, and a safety hazard

so then mendel comes over to give jason his therapy and jason basically pulls an uno reverse and therapies mendel into proposing to trina, and mendel does so with a really shitty bible analogy featuring Biblical Times

then the guys sing a song so high into their falsettos I wouldn't be surprised if their warmup is kicking each other in the balls, and trina is like 'these geeks are so immature' oh also the guys are wearing glow in the dark socks and spinny hats

then marvin loses a game of chess to whizzer and his superiority complex is broken so they break up, and trina and mendel move in together and set a date for the wedding and marvin is so butthurt he slaps trina in the face and then everyone has a therapy circle and basically forget about it. oh also jason officially comes out as straight and marvin promises to be a good dad (he's already failed)

act 2

hey look, the Cube is back! it's arranged in a precarious array that kinda looks like a house, Nancy Reagan is in there somewhere, the guys in the band are acknowledged, and cordelia (caterer) and charlotte (doctor), spiky lesbians, are introduced, and then the Cube pieces fall. oh also its been two years. and marvin is still into whizzer.

jason's bar mitzvah is being micromanaged, then he has a baseball game and sucks very much at baseball. turns out he invited whizzer, and when he shows up, marvin hides from him like a child, then makes fun of his hairline and somehow snags a date. Basically everything is fine and dandy and peachy keen and jason officially has three dads and three moms. then jason gets cold feet about his bar mitzvah and dr mendel is back at it again with the poor bible analogies informing him that everyone hates his parents

marvin and whizzer are sleeping together, and while whizzer is asleep, marvin is like, 'weird how I really love him, huh?' and charlotte discovers AIDS. marvin and whizzer's competitive streak returns for racquetball, but then whizzer collapses (bc he has aids)

at this point, the Cube is no longer a set instrument, and now there whizzer is in an actually hospital bed, and reality is looking over everyone's shoulder and whispering expletives into their ear. everybody tries to lie to whizzer and say he looks great, but then jason goes in and just fucking wrecks him.

jason really wants whizzer to be at his bar mitzvah but he's in the hospital, so he considers canceling it. then marvin climbs into bed with whizzer and they agree that they are an apple fucking an orange. also, charlotte is very concerned about whizzer's state. You Gotta Die Sometime deserves her own paragraph so here we go

Whizzer spends 3 minutes and 3 seconds fantasizing about gay shenanigans with the likes of Death himself. He is literally flirting with Death. In the homosexual way.

anyways

jason decides to hold his bar mitzvah in whizzer's hospital room, and then directly after, whizzer dies. then marvin has a vision of whizzer from beyond the grave and they sing to each other about how much they love each other. then mendel sings a song that makes me cry, and the Cube returns. a slice of the Cube is used as whizzer's gravestone, and jason places a chess piece, specifically the queen, on his grave

thank you so much for this one, I really enjoyed writing it! if I got something wrong or I missed something, feel free to mention it!

like to create a Cube, reblog to inflict a Cube upon others
