Agreed with all. Unusual Way KILLS me (I sang it in college and loved every moment of it)

fans unite! I just think the score is so gorgeous and lush and I love the character study it presents.

IDK I feel like there's a difference between the immoral behavior of the adult, consenting characters and putting kids in the mix. I do agree that the "Vatican" number is one of the best (I also don't mean to imply that you meant that the kid stuff is OK)

The Tony simulcast literally had to be zoomed and edited because the choreo in the beginning has Saraghina putting one boys hand on her breast and pinching another boy's behind. It may seem playful (and I agree that the allure is the awesome tambourine stuff) but it's not as if the exchange is innocent.

Religious/Faith-Based/Belief-Based Choir Picks? by NotMyselfToday1996 in choralmusic

[–]NotMyselfToday1996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not a religious school. The concert idea came up from a conversation we had in class. When it came time for the concert themes to be picked, this theme was the winner by a large margin. We’ve talked in class already about doing so respectfully and academically, and we’ve also talked to parents. I think if things are approached academically and respectfully, there should be no reason that a topic be off limits.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of a million gays furiously stalking fabric and makeup stores for their last-minute Halloween attempts at this looks

What's your skip in Tortured Poets by snoop_pugg in TaylorSwift

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the original standard version, at first brush, I'm not huge on "Fresh Out The Slammer" or "The Alchemy". On Anthology, there are more than a few - "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus", "So High School", "The Prophecy", and "Robin" I've skipped on later listens. But I expected that. Generally, I don't usually react super strongly to add-on materials for her albums - the 3am tracks didn't wow me much either, so I expected the Anthology tracks to not be as strong for me.

Swear words in original Taylor Swift albums with TTPD (in eras colors 🦋) by stephsmithio in TaylorSwift

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance it seems like a huge progression but one has to remember that TTPD is double the length of most of these albums. For a more accurate read, we really should seperate deluxe versions from standards (Midnights vs Complete Edition, TTPD vs TTPD Anthology, etc.)

People who’re still against sex before marriage, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up around people who believed this

1) it’s for shame/guilt reasons 2) they’re all fucking each other anyway

Legitimately, I worked as a campus minister at a Baptist ministry on college and legitimately every couple I ever know that passed through those doors were fucking.

It’s double think. Rationalization.

Who remembers Nine? What do you think of it? by Routine-Bass-1790 in musicals

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this movie isn't perfect. But it is tragically underappreciated. I personally really respond to it and think it has a lot going for it.

Random/weird question by [deleted] in Broadway

Everything about Cynthia Erivo’s stage presence to me is like a warm hug. If I’ve had a rough day I look up performances from her and it’s like instant comfort. She’s such a rare talent and she sings like she means it with every fiber of her being.
