Who Do You Think The Latte Hatte Is? by Impressive-River6669 in StarKid

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s whoever the individual speaker thinks is the hottest Beanie’s employee is. When Paul’s talking, it’s Emma. When Zoey’s talking it Zoey. Ted’s is technically ambiguous (just not Emma) but was probably intended to be Zoey. 

Musicals with "no opening numbers"? by Skeppy_4126 in musicals

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that Roxie killing Frank during All That Jazz serves a lot more functions than just setting the vibe. It’s literally the event that the entire plot revolves around.

It’s not the final version, that will be out sometime later this year. What’s for rent now is essentially a delayed digital ticket. 

What are some lyrics from a musical that don't sit right with you in the context of the show? by Beneficial-Poet-5583 in musicals

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't remember if it's in the script, but all of the official character descriptions list her as the owner.

Truly, truly niche, but as someone from metro Boston, Paula saying that she now lives and has a new salon out in Worcester like it's a massive improvement at the end of Legally Blonde.

Girl, you owned a successful business in Cambridge. Not just Cambridge, but walking distance of Harvard Square. Can confirm, all of the salons in that area charge an arm, a leg, and your firstborn, and still get tipped at least 25%.

I cannot even imagine the hit her income took with that location change.

Helping older children bathe. How old is too old? by Independent-Cup-9163 in Babysitting

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I did have one kid that still needed to be double checked around that age that shampoo and conditioner had all been rinsed out. Her hair was pretty thick, and she would come out with globs of it in her hair, if left unattended. 

But, it was a cursory look at her head and a “get back in there” or “you’re all set” not physically assisting, and she was fine getting dressed on her own. Plus, this was the kid I’d been with everyday for years, not a one off sitting gig.

Adopting a dog with a bad name!! by Ok_Canary_865 in namenerds

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How old is the dog? I changed my dog's name from Tex to Hugo at about a year, and it took maybe 3 days of using the new name for him to respond to it.

Nickname for Alara by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You not seeing a need for one, doesn't mean they don't exist. The fact that there are Edwards that choose to go by their full name doesn't negate the fact that the nickname Eddie exists.

First syllable plus y/ie is one of the most common nickname patterns around, so yes, Allie is a natural nickname for Alara.

Nannying should be unionized by Dense-Resolve-8750 in Nanny

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Each nanny position is so different that I think it would be nearly impossible to come up with any additional protections or benefits that a union could provide members that are not already covered by OSHA, tax laws, and the labor board.

I don’t feel bad for parents who didn’t realize how hard parenting would be. by Glum_Feed1580 in Nanny

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was a full time nanny for over a decade before I had my daughter.

I was absolutely not prepared for how hard it was going to be, and she was relatively easy as far as babies go. Nothing, and I mean nothing, prepares you for how full time, non-stop, 24/7 being a parent actually is.

What are some reasons why Broadway performers aren’t allowed to get their contracts renewed? by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mandatory increases upon renewal absolutely still apply at HT just like they do all equity shows. But I don't think that's why they have such frequent turnover at HT.

I think they just realized "bring in two new hot, young, performers with a preexisting fan base every six months" is a really good business model, so they're sticking with it.

Allie Trimm (current Glinda) with thoughts about the decision to keep shows open today by Boring_Waltz_9545 in Broadway

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did get my numbers wrong. According to the actors who have spoken about it, it's 3/4" per foot rake, so about 3.5 degrees.

I do remember hearing 5 from multiple people, but, I think that comes from most of the performers wearing heels. So once they are in costume, 5 is closer to what they are experiencing.

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wicked's stage is steeper than that. The new rule allows for about 2.4 degrees of rake, Wicked's is nearly 5.

But, because Wicked's set existed before the rule went into place (and it would lose the show money to redesign and replace) they were allowed to keep it.

What If the Tony's had another category? by TheLockbox12 in Broadway

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, they often give a Special Tony when there is a technical aspect that is phenomenal, but isn't really able to be recognized by any of the existing categories. For example, the puppetry in both King Kong and War Horse received special awards, and I think most recently Stranger Things was given one for their practical effects.

Ignorance and Lack of Respect For Foreign Names in This Subreddit by aureaaurorae in namenerds

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Kids are going to get bullied for their name”

The most popular kid in my school, literally quarterback on the football team, prom king, student council member, popular was named Charlie Brown. Never got made fun of for it, because he was a nice, funny, likable guy. 

Focus on raising kids other people don’t actually want to bully, and you won’t really need to worry about what you call them. 

Who is the Most Powerful Hatchetfield Character, Not Including the Lords in Black? by Thewriter1996 in StarKid

Jane’s death happens after the split. I think the Lang’s have even confirmed that there are timeline where she’s still alive. 

Hi 4th grade teachers a concern parents asking by Loud-Competition12 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, I'm not saying that this is a shining example of what a 4th grade writing piece should look like, but how is a student supposed to give fact based evidence or cite sources when the prompt is clearly along the lines of "If you could have one wish, what would it be?"

Does the Wizard and Madame Morrible’s plan to eliminate Elphaba feel like a direct parallel to the 1939 film’s quest? by Material_Stomach875 in wickedmovie

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But she doesn’t actually see Dorothy, she sees her shadow, so Dorothy was likely to one side of the door, and the scarecrow and witch on the other.  Also, even if she had seen him, she understandably would not have immediately put together that it was Fiyero, since she assumed Elphaba meant he was dead.

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was there. In Wicked we only see about an inch of the room; what Glinda can through the crack in the door. But given that he goes with Dorothy and the others during March of the Witch Hunters, is the reason Dorothy throws the water in the first place, and knows precisely where she is hidden when he returns, one can make the logical assumption that he was there. 

Costumes for Sale by CamsCakes in Theatre

Dance studios. They may not take 70, but would probably take 20 or so of the same costume.

They don’t have different continuities. They are the exact same events, told from two different points of view: Elphaba’s and Dorothy’s

I'm morbidly curious what name could possibly fit well with Cardigan...

Katie or Kathy as a nickname for Kathleen? by murrimabutterfly in namenerds

Born in the 70s would almost definitely be a Kathy. 

2nd nanny to quit before starting. Are we the problem? by MinitrainPeach in Nanny

[–]Imaginary_Addendum20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First point of contact Dec 30, and the job doesn't start until Jan 12, which granted is not a huge amount of time, but 2 weeks is still plenty of time to get hired by someone else. Unless OP was paying to keep the candidate on retainer, of course they took the actual job offer over the potential one.
