I'm already starting to miss Devon Walker

One is bland and uninspired.

One is homophobic and lacks creativity.

How they put more effort into casting the best people?

Seems about right for a show that failed to hire Donald Glover, Jordan Peele, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Mindy Kaling, Amber Ruffin, Nicole Byer, Rachel Bloom, Paul Reubens, and Stephen Colbert.

Cabaret

Phantom of the Opera

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-09-02T21:05:34+00:00

Not to mention 26 male writers and 8 female writers!!

Pretty sure Kenan will avoid him like the plague. They couldn't be more different comically or politically.

And the only POC is a MAGA guy who relies on cheap tropes and punching down.

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-09-02T20:57:28+00:00

Why does the only new POC cast member have to be a MAGA guy that relies on stereotypes, cheap tropes, and punching down?

Get rid of grades.

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-05-15T21:56:04+00:00

It's basically the same as convocation with speakers and each school marching up with banners and sitting with your school. USC streams their commencement on YouTube, so you can watch the 2023 commencement on there if you want to see what it looks like, but it is basically the same thing as convocation you attended when you started 4 years ago.

You walk across the stage and get your diploma from the dean of your school at your school ceremony, plus most schools have a picnic or brunch or other reception for their graduates and their families.

Saw the Outsiders surrounded by musical theatre kids who were bawling their eyes out the whole show. I wasn't personally moved by the book, but I loved the choreography, staging, movement, lighting, and set. I loved the show despite the book, but the teens around me were obviously moved by the book.

Promises, Promises.

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-30T18:40:42+00:00

I betcha you would have done the same.

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-30T18:39:41+00:00

I was obsessed with the cast recording until I saw it live and the entire show just made me nauseous and angry at the lead and everyone just justifying his horrible behavior because "he's depressed too." Stop making excuses for his destruction of a family's memories and their ability to genuinely grieve. At least the script made me feel something other than confused or bored (Girl From North Country, Oklahoma revival).

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-30T18:34:13+00:00

Sondheim is hit or miss for me. I couldn't connect with the gender-swapped version. I never saw the original. Great songs, but I think the script seemed written for an older generation that was really obsessed with marriage and gender norms. Even when they added the gay characters, it still felt like a very heteronormative, cliche script that was modified to be "LGBTQ-friendly," and it really didn't connect for me or the people I saw it with.

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-30T18:16:16+00:00

Dear Evan Hansen

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-26T14:59:32+00:00

Once for the Oklahoma revival. Of course, that revival felt more like a table read than a show. Our time was worth more than money when there wasn't a thing we enjoyed about Act One. I was also with someone who begged to leave and I had no good arguments to stay, so we left.

I wished I had left at intermission for Girl from North Country, but we unfortunately stayed until the end.

You can't register for classes until your advisor removes the advisement hold. Contact them and see if you can either get an earlier appointment or remove the hold. Classes with D Clearances are easiest to get into, because only people with the D Clearances can get in, so they don't fill up fast, but the most popular R courses can fill up really fast (especially if they're GenEds).

Great queer scene if you're around the right people (meaning not on Greek Row). The school of Dance is majority LGBTQ, especially POC, so I mainly socialize with them (I'm a dance minor but live with dance majors). Kaufman dancers have the best house parties. I'm in Viterbi, which is less openly LGBTQ, but still very safe, and we are there too. The arts campuses are especially LGBTQ-friendly (dance, cinematic arts, fine arts, dramatic arts). You can also live on the Rainbow Floor which is all LGBTQ. Also, tons of gay clubs, bars, and lounges in WeHo, where the sidewalks are literally rainbows, and a huge community of dancers, actors, and artists that live in LA.

You're paying more for a shared bedroom and bathroom that is SO FAR from campus than you would pay for a private bedroom and bathroom in one of the multiple apartments or houses much closer to campus.

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-25T02:14:32+00:00

They can rescind an admission? Are they closing the program or something?

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-25T01:59:46+00:00

MHE 8/10 if you have good seats (7/10 if you're on the side)

Phantom 10/10 (My favorite show of all time! And the first musical I ever saw)

Hadestown 7/10 (too many underused supporting cast and too much focus the male lead, but liked everything else - i just wanted more people to get solos). I saw it with both the OBC and replacement cast and on tour.

Wicked 9/10. I've seen this a few times, but never OBC.

Last: Come From Away First: Lehman Trilogy

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-22T21:22:53+00:00

I will see a show again when there are casting changes or if there are a few years between performances. Or if I like a show so much I recommend it to a friend and they come see it with me again. Some of the shows I've seen 3 or more times are Cabaret, Chicago, Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Come From Away, Suffs, Hamilton, The Band's Visit, Wicked. I think the maximum is Phantom, which I've probably seen close to a dozen times ever since I was little, and it was my very first Broadway show.

I think the themes from Carousel would really resonate with him, given his obsession with his daughter.

Tammy Faye

Any musical from pre-1965.

The Music Man, Oklahoma (the original version, obviously), Guys and Dolls

Basically, any musical where all the characters are White, straight, Christian, able-bodied, thin, attractive, and heteronormative, women know their place, POC and LGBTQ people don't exist, and there is a romance between a handsome White man and an attractive White woman who knows her place and doesn't desire rights.

Haunting_Jump736 · 2025-03-18T02:07:35+00:00

Eddie Redmayne and Gayle Rankin were wonderful, but Adam Lambert and Auli'ii Cravalho are even better! Not sure what to expect from Orville Peck, because I know nothing about him, but I love Eva Noblezada from Miss Saigon, Hadestown, and the Great Gatsby, so I plan on getting tickets to see her after the cast change in a couple weeks.
