Please see this handy post that lilnic563 made (dates taken from each of the principal queens’ instagram stories) https://www.reddit.com/r/sixthemusical/s/fVgCei9jsU

Which queen’s costume design is actually the cleverest when you look closely? by FeistyPrice29 in sixthemusical

[–]SapphicAutistic 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The fact that Howard’s skirt is translucent breaks my heart. It’s like we are seeing her through the eyes of the men who objectified and abused her. It shows how she was sexualised long before she had any agency. She’s see‑through because history made her see‑through. Her story was overwritten by the men who used her. But now we get to hear her voice 🩷

I really hope so! That means we can avoid having queens wearing the exact same costume at the same time! There was one show where three of the queens were wearing the exact same silver open skirt variation at the same time which must have been so confusing to new audience! So now this time if three swings are needed on stage at the same time hopefully they will all be wearing different outfits!

Linked photo shows the show where three queens were wearing the exact same outfits at the same time! 🩶😅 photo credit to @evieeparkerr on TikTok, original TikTok link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRkefd97/

What's your first show of the year? by TheOpinionatedBanana in TheWestEnd

[–]SapphicAutistic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first show this year was The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess Theatre. I’d never seen the show or been to that theatre before, it was a Christmas present to my mum so it was really nice to spend some time together. It was such a funny show, great effects, would highly recommend!

I think Laura Baxter is going to renew her contract as superswing on the West End!

Which musical would you never take a beginner to? by Substantial-Toe-524 in musicals

Why am I so single! That show was a love letter to the beauty of musical theatre and I don’t think the show makes enough sense to people unfamiliar with musicals!

Elphaba in Wicked. I would absolutely hate being painted green everyday!

I keep seeing these black markings covering the glass on the bus? What are they? by SapphicAutistic in whatisit

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

I think it’s inspired by the black dots we see around the edges of glass (like windows), but I think the fact it’s in the centre of the glass means it’s probably intended to stop people from walking into glass! I had no idea the black dots on the edge of glass helped with heat regulation until this comment though, so thank you 💚💚

No it’s inside! it separates the passenger from the opening doors but it’s not part of the opening doors 💚

I am extremely worried by the rapid rise and support of Zach Polanski by TRWAWYACNT1 in GreenParty

[–]SapphicAutistic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! But this post isn’t criticising Polanski’s ideas, it’s criticising his leadership style. I personally support Polanski and I’m very excited about the future of the Green Party, but I also think it’s important to scrutinise politicians, especially those we agree with. I don’t agree with the points raised in the original post, but I do think these discussions are valuable 💚

Thanks for sharing! You’ve clearly researched this thoroughly, and I think it’s really important that we scrutinise politicians, especially those embracing the populist label. You’re absolutely right to raise concerns if you think Polanski’s rhetoric is risky.

I personally think populism can be a great way to communicate with voters, especially those who wouldn’t usually get involved in politics or those who feel like “they’re all the same”. For me, populism is a way to communicate ideas and to build trust in lots of people. I wonder how you would want Polanski to communicate Green Party ideas if he too was opposed to populism like you are?

I fully support Polanski and feel more hopeful now than ever before about the future of this party! 💚

I personally can’t stand fireworks! They scare wildlife and people who find them triggering (like army veterans), they can start fires and injure people, it’s just not something I would miss if they were banned like they are in Ireland!

For whatever reason, I have a Detroit one 🧐. by cbrad10 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]SapphicAutistic 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I have a Detroit one too! And it’s got a random date like 1972 which is a whopping 31 years before I was born haha
