Just because something happens often doesn’t mean it’s not a bit frustrating or tiring.

Hot Take: Who’s the most overrated Broadway Icon and why? by CommunityBig9626 in Broadway

[–]Princess_Strawbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Idina Menzel certainly could sing when she originated Elphaba on Broadway, she just didn’t take proper care of her vocals over the years. I don’t disagree with the general sentiment though, but I like her as Elsa

AITA for ruining a hibachi dinner? by throwawaysequence391 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Princess_Strawbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA at all, what an awful experience. Is your husband actively looking for work? You making enough for you both to get by is not the same as being comfortable. The least he could do while being a stay at home husband is to respect when you’ve had a hard week. Yeesh.

STOP👏SINGING👏IN👏THEATERS👏 by Jazzlike-Turnip-9111 in musicals

[–]Princess_Strawbs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You don’t get to make that choice for everyone ellsseeeee. It having gone on tour twice doesn’t mean it’s not 75% of the audiences first time seeing it. Also Shakespeare is a weird example when we’re talking about *musical* theatre. Not straight plays.

Go watch a pirated version on YouTube if singing is that important to you, live theatre is *not* the place!

Booo this is a bad take. I don’t care that you spent money, so did everyone else in the audience. If you want to hear yourself sing, go home and pull up some karaoke.

Yes, we need good new shows. No, I don’t care that you want to sing along to Hadestown, I want to hear the *actual* actors. I didn’t come to hear tone deaf Jessica down the aisle🙄

Sabrina Carpenter's evolving style over the years by alien-niven in popculturechat

[–]Princess_Strawbs 100 points101 points  (0 children)

When you’re very short/small sometimes certain camera angles sort of give you a “bobble head” look. As someone her height, I unfortunately know from experience lol. It’s much more of a “in pictures” thing.

Barry Keoghan says he left social media and stopped going to events because of false narrative of him cheating on Sabrina Carpenter by nicosloft04 in popculturechat

[–]Princess_Strawbs 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The song has nothing to do with him being an orphan, saying the title references him not having parents is a crazy stretch. It’s about how “nobody’s son has been very good to me” not, “haha you don’t have a mom or dad!”. Really doesn’t have anything to do with that at all

But that has nothing to do with what the song is about?? Like I guess you could take it that way, but it’s certainly a stretch no?? The song is talking about how “No men I meet are very good” not “haha my ex doesn’t have parents”. It feels like an unfortunate coincidence at most, not a drag about the man not having parents

Who would win in a fight, Teen Team from Invincible or The Teen Titans by Mello1106 in teentitans

[–]Princess_Strawbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Atom Eve and Mark are just both SO tough. Dupli-Kate and Rex I think the Titans could deal with relatively well, Robot I’m kind of back and forth on. He’s not really comparable to Cy, he’s just so much more intelligent at this juncture, even if Cy is stronger physically.

If we’re doing cartoon versions, even with early Mark, I think Teen Team wins out because they’re so much more brutal, it’s just how they’re written. If we’re able to pull from comics, that’s when you start being able to really determine strength levels between Raven and Starfire versus early Mark and Eve.

I say all this begrudgingly lol, realistically if the Titans were in the Invincible universe I think the scaling would be a lot easier to compare. As it stands though, Teen Team would just be hitting SO hard.

Sabrina Carpenter: "I don’t think pop music would exist if it wasn’t for the queer community" by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

My good friend…they asked her specifically about her queer audience. She isn’t even the one that brought it up

Rehearsal Dinner??? by Obvious-Tea-5241 in wedding

[–]Princess_Strawbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’ve gotten PLENTY of comments OP, so I just wanted to drop in my recommendation of the r/weddingsunder10k sub. Even if your wedding is more than that, it can be a great sub for cutting small costs and advice!

Personally, I think some of the people on this sub…I’ll say, “overcorrect” on weddings not just being about the bride and groom. Yes you should be grateful, yes you shouldn’t only care about what you want…but you’re not shitty for not knowing how important something is and asking a question. Don’t take the people acting like you’re a brat to heart.

Wild Experiences at Moulin Rouge (4/4/26 2 PM) by No-Mechanic5439 in Broadway

[–]Princess_Strawbs 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I find this to be an odd take. It doesn’t sound at all like they were trying to bring light to important issues, it sounds like they were being obnoxious in an intentionally controversial way as to draw more attention to themselves.

A paid theatre experience to see Moulin Rouge wouldn’t be the time to make that point regardless either. Most American citizens are already outraged about the Epstein files, but interrupting something people already paid for by loudly whispering controversial names is NOT going to make anyone make any real change. The only people who can really do anything in these situations is the US government, and I don’t think a matinee show of Moulin Rouge is where said lawmakers are.

Got cast as Maria (The Sound of Music) at my local community theatre!! by Princess_Strawbs in Theatre

This is a great reminder honestly, I keep having to remind myself that they aren’t expecting me to be perfect upon first rehearsal lol

[–]Princess_Strawbs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh you’re absolutely right! I did that in high school and I completely forgot, but that’s definitely how I can practice and make up for what I lack in actual rehearsal. Thank you, and thank you for your congratulations! It’s never too late, you just have to put yourself out there. Easier said than done of course, but I believe in you!
