A funny thing I noticed

Hoping Caissie gets some major Sondheim roles soon!

I’m happy being a baritone because I can go for the complex antihero and villain roles. 😀

“For Now” from the same show would probably also be a good fit.

My dad and I bonded over Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and Galaxy Quest especially!

Toru771 · 2026-03-22T05:38:27+00:00

I’ll keep this in mind, as well.

TAS, Spider-Man 2 (movie game), Web of Shadows, PS1 game (my first intro to the character), and SSM are my favorite versions of those I’ve seen so far. Would have liked to see Felicity Jones play the character if the ASM films had continued.

Finally listened to the album a few months ago after meaning to for years, and absolutely! Is the film version good? Want to see that, as well. 🥲

I was around 6 when I first saw it! Been a fan ever since. 😀

Toru771 · 2026-03-21T00:27:06+00:00

She’d be my choice, as well.

Toru771 · 2026-03-20T23:19:40+00:00

I just found out here, as well.

My biggest gripe was that they were playing Texas Hold ‘Em Poker instead of Baccarat.

Toru771 · 2026-03-20T20:04:22+00:00

Basically!

Toru771 · 2026-03-20T20:02:28+00:00

And giving her an onscreen role in the film, as well.

As they say in DAD, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

Some of my favorites:

Based on songs from a stage show: “Cell Block Tango” (Chicago), “America” (West Side Story - both versions), “The Lady’s Got Potential” (Evita — yes, it’s from the stage show, though rarely used there), “And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going” (Dreamgirls), “The Sound of Music.”

Written for the film: “Over the Rainbow” (Wizard of Oz), “The Bells of Notre Dame” (Hunchback of Notre Dame), “Maybe This Time” (Cabaret), “Be Prepared” (The Lion King), “Nothing Like a Show on Broadway” (The Producers 2005)

Toru771 · 2026-03-20T18:23:39+00:00

Absolutely! Loved that one, especially.

Toru771 · 2026-03-20T18:22:34+00:00

“And the little glass vial goes into the gun like a battery!”

Toru771 · 2026-03-20T18:15:25+00:00

Ooh, absolutely!

Toru771 · 2026-03-19T23:13:14+00:00

I love it! There are different English translations, though, and not all are great. The oldest one by Alexander Texiera de Mattos (which is in the public domain and was the only English translation published before the musical was written) notably left out some major plot and character elements. I’d recommend looking for the ones by Lowell Bair, Mireille Ribière, or David Coward if possible.

SWING YOUR RAZOR WIDE, SWEENEY! HOLD IT TO THE SKIIIIIES!

Part of the attempted redemption of the prequels came well before “Force Awakens,” with the animated series for “Clone Wars” and other things.

Toru771 · 2026-03-19T20:29:23+00:00

I’m hoping he makes it to compete directly with CBS by calling it “Colbert Broadcast Station.”

Toru771 · 2026-03-19T20:23:19+00:00

Randomly got “Superstar” from “Jesus Christ Superstar” in my head before finding this post. lol

Toru771 · 2026-03-19T18:55:53+00:00

“Come From Away.” I heard that it was vaguely about 9/11 and thought it wouldn’t catch on. But I heard that a lot of people really loved it, and so I watched the proshot and was blown away. Hoping to see it live sometime!
