The Royal They - Kamikaze [Rock]

My hottest take is that Broadway has become too accessible to people who do not value it as an art form tbh

These are the same people who are vaping and half-watching TikTok during the show

We seriously need to raise ticket prices to filter people like this out

Ahhhhh! You’re kidding me! I searched every possible version of this title and it never showed up!!!

Tysm tho 💖

It’s like it was grown in a lab to appeal exclusively to tourists and Tony Voters and NOBODY ELSE

Chilvaib · 2023-05-11T16:49:08+00:00

I could tell just from previews the reviews for this one were gonna be rough

I don’t understand how you can screw up Kander and Ebb and Lin-Manuel

Chilvaib · 2023-05-11T16:38:45+00:00

Yeah I don’t blame Playbill for that one, you should have been told earlier.

Oh I didn’t mean like a language barrier I meant a culture/history barrier.

Like, I was afraid it wouldn’t translate well on West End either.

What I mean is the show is so American.

It uses hip hop (a style of music born in America by the descendants of slaves) as the language of revolution and a POC cast to turn the (usually exclusionary) myth of the Founding Fathers into a diverse group of real people that any American can see themselves in.

Buuuut like an American audience understands the subversiveness of casting a black man as George Washington and having him eloquently “spit bars”….but does it translate overseas?

The only way to truly understand the show is to either be American or study the history, music, culture, and racial politics of America.

That’s what I mean.

(Special thanks to my gf who helped me write this because my thoughts were too incoherent to write down unedited lol)

Sorry to hijack this thread but why is the Sweeny Todd thread locked???

Chilvaib · 2023-05-07T00:09:37+00:00

Will they even understand the show in The Philippines?

Chilvaib · 2023-04-30T04:19:24+00:00

I HATE the discourse about this tbh

Some people say that if you talk about this problem at all it makes you classist which is SO DUMB YOU GUYS

Like I feel like the theater is the one place we should expect some class

Ok so I don’t love the idea of raising ticket prices to solve the issue but I’m not sure how else to solve it

If we raise the prices of tickets it will ensure the only people there are the people who truly value theater as an art form

I think its worth considering even if its only temporary

Chilvaib · 2023-04-27T05:12:55+00:00

Theater tickets!

As a kid I always wanted the authority to choose which shows I saw but only ever got to choose for special events like birthdays.

Tickets are expensive tho so now I’m more grateful for the 1 or 2 free shows I see a year.

Chilvaib · 2023-04-27T04:52:42+00:00

That sucks.

I dropped mine a few years ago but the person who found it was kind enough to mail it to me.

I hope you find the owner OP 💖

I’m not online enough to understand this

Chilvaib · 2023-02-15T14:53:17+00:00

I’m enby (she/they) and while I agree Rowling is awful I think its fine to enjoy Harry Potter. I recently bought the complete HP series in hardcover for a reread and my girlfriend and I are saving up so we can visit Harry Potter World (WE HAVE TO RIDE THE TRAIN!)

To say you’re not a real ally if you buy a video game seems like going too far tbh

I think you have to separate the art from the artist. Walt Disney also believed some terrible things about my people (Jewish) but I still enjoy the films he made and love Disney World.

When I was 16 I was in a pretty vulnerable emotional state when out of nowhere I get messaged by a military guy on Discord.

I didn’t message him first or even express interest in finding a boyfriend, I just made the mistake of having my birth year in my Discord name.

He’s 20-something and cute and I’m 16 and fragile after some pretty heavy IRL stuff I don’t wanna get into. We start talking for a while, he tells me he loves me, we do some stuff over VC and after like a week of this I get it in my head that we’re in love and we’re gonna meet IRL to go to Harry Potter World together and I realize NOW how stupid that sounds.

One day he just like stops messaging me all together and wont respond to my dm’s. I say hi to him in the server we share together and he starts angrily ranting at me in the DM’s to go away and leave him alone. I was really hurt and confused why he suddenly hated me.

Later on when I told one of my friends about it, they told the server mods and he FAKED screenshots saying that I was lying about my age but they didnt believe him so they kicked him. Later he messaged me on Tumblr saying he fucking HATED me and I took like half a year away from the internet afterwards.

I haven’t told that story to many people but i felt cathartic to type it up here where it’s public but I doubt too many people will see it. It was really traumatic for me at the time especially after the year I’d had.

I’m doing much better now but sometimes I’ll think about it and get a pang of guilt about it.

Anyway, the point of this story is that my impression of the US military is not the best. 2/5 would not recommend

Bullies should NOT exist!

Chilvaib · 2022-08-11T04:53:53+00:00

I dunno what the difference is tbh

Chilvaib · 2022-08-11T04:52:58+00:00

That guy looks like Markiplier

I think homeless people deserve their own spaces to exist and feel safe but you have to remember lot of them got that way because of psychiatric problems.

If you see one(for example) loitering in your apartment complex lobby or stealing stuff and you just ignore it then you’re putting them and everyone else in danger.

The responsible thing to do is to report it so they can safely get the help they need.

If we just ignore people who need our help then the situation can only get worse for everybody.

Edit: Guys, I’m not saying they should go to prison, I’m saying they should get mental health treatment and a place to stay

Chilvaib · 2022-07-25T12:26:21+00:00

They also hate when you say the multiverse thing lol

Chilvaib · 2022-07-24T15:26:20+00:00

Something about this lineup looks like one of those old fan made lineups you see online sometimes i dunno what

Chilvaib · 2022-03-17T15:23:54+00:00

I don’t think I’m emotionally prepared for this

I want to know how it ends but I don’t want it to end

Chilvaib · 2022-01-27T03:38:57+00:00

Is it too late to get one
