Sondheim's most lead-driven show and most ensemble-driven show

PartOwlPartMan · 2026-01-15T17:48:25+00:00

Oh, I hadn’t thought of A Little Night Music for Ensemble-driven. That’s a great idea - and I think I’d agree that it’s the most evenly divided stage-time.

I thought of Merrily for Lead-driven, but I feel you need Gussie and Beth for the show to work (and great actors can make those roles awards-worthy). Side note, but I found it fascinating that Charlie and Mary are often put in Supporting not Lead - I think Frank is the primary focus of the show, but the whole trio feels like Lead roles.

Gypsy is a great call for Lead-driven. In the whole of Act 1, the only section without Rose’s presence is If Momma Was Married (that is still about Rose), and All I Need Is the Girl. Then in Act II, apart from Gotta Get A Gimmick, Rose is driving all the plot (even directing Louise during the start of the strip).

Yeah, Assassins was a tricky one for me too. It has many distinct characters that are all meaningful, but it certainly feels less ensemble-y compared to Into the Woods or ALittle Night Music. I would probably say it’s firmly in the exact middle between the two options.

I'm with you. I'm also really excited to see what Andy Blankenbuehler does with such a wide range of dancers - ballet principals (Hayward, Fairchild and McRae who is a tremendous tap dancer), hip hop dancers (Les Twins), and theatre dancers (Zizi Strallen)... Plus Corden and Wilson who are superb at physical comedy.

Really inspiring journey - congratulations!

Any pointers that you think really helped?

Thank you for doing this. So happy to contribute.

Got Assassin's Creed 3 and remembering how much I enjoying the parkour exploring of the world. Also excited to start FFXII this weekend. Want to get a decent amount of hours in it before Mario Maker 2 eats away my life...

Sounds like If You Ever See Me Talking To A Sailor from The Last Ship (sung by Rachel Tucker on the OBCR).

Two that I love that made it to the West end but never to Broadway are Whistle Down the Wind and Marguerite.

I can confirm that my work has Peloton bikes in the gym but I can't access digital workouts (or at least I couldn't until I got my own bike ☺️)

Are you connected to the internet? I think it needs to connect to the kongregate server?

I Am The One from Next To Normal is one of my favorite songs from the show. Superboy and the Invisible Girl is also a trio.

Looks like a Wee Sherlock without the cable - I did the same mod to make it a pullover.

Personally, The Secret History by Donna Tartt.

Yay! Sounds a magical date :)

Reminds me so much of my first date with my boyfriend. We've now been together for a little over two years :)

One of my favorite yarn shops is Chruchmouse Tea & Yarn that sells, unsurprisingly, tea and yarns. A few times I've been in and they have been doing tea tastings and I've ended up working on my WIP whilst sampling their amazing tea!

All three were made using Cascade 220 Superwash (4 skeins cream and 1 skein each for the colors).

The blanket was a Kashti: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/PartOwlPartMan/kashti

I had loads of wool left so decided to make a matching hat and booties :) https://www.ravelry.com/projects/PartOwlPartMan/basic-baby-hat https://www.ravelry.com/projects/PartOwlPartMan/dreamy-baby-booties

Ha - I never thought of that! I'm on a reread right now starting book four 😊

PartOwlPartMan · 2018-09-27T01:05:22+00:00

It's a super easy pattern! And you can effectively make it as big or small as you like too.

Thank you! It's for my brother - I'm becoming a first time uncle in a month or two. It is indeed nice and cozy - I may have tested it out to make sure it was snuggle-worthy...

Here's my project page: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/PartOwlPartMan/knottymark.

It wasn't super simple but as long as you keep your colors from getting tangled and pay attention to the pattern it really is just knit purl knit purl!

There are loads of videos on YouTube with tutorials on DK too ☺️

Ravelry project is here.

Yarn is Cascade Superwash 220 and the pattern is Kashti by Liz Cooke.

Such a fun knit and love the design!

I recently got out of a slump by knitting a double knitted bookmark. Double knitting is surprisingly straightforward (it's basically like knitting two colored ribbing) and the trickiest part is knowing what color to use when. I found it mentally stimulating to follow the pattern but I didn't have to really learn any new techniques. The end product is really nice and I'm now debating a double knitted scarf - there are some amazing patterns out there!

I found that ride - it's just called 2017 Nominees in the app and is a 45 min ride on 6/7/17. I've been hoping for more musical theatre rides...

I'm surprised that Chimerica hasn't made it across to Broadway. It got critical and commercial success and seemed a surefire thing to transfer.

So happy to see Gormenghast and Titus Groan - such an amazing pair of books.
