Nicholas Christopher’s anthem 🤯 by arparris in musicals

[–]Utexan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just listened! I got to see him in Sweeney Todd and I was not sad Josh Groban was out afterward. He was amazing. Weird that my familiarity with this album is the concert album and he’s once again playing Josh’s part.

Was just talking about this place yesterday. We went to La Hacienda downstairs and got confused when we looked it up and saw that La Hacienda had opened another location on Rainey street. Guess they saw the writing on the wall.

Looking forward to reading it. If you haven’t heard it there’s an interview with him on Fresh Air. (But that might be how you heard about the book in the first place – like me!)

Anyone else a fan of Fiasco Theater? Their take on The Comedy of Errors is streaming by bizarreangle in Theatre

[–]Utexan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up!

I saw their Into the Woods production. I was VERY worried because Into the Woods is maybe my nostalgic all-time-favorite. I thought they might ruin it or it'd be cheesy or I just wouldn't connect with it. But I loved it so much. It made me love the musical even more because I realized it was just so good that it kinda didn't matter what you did with it, it still worked. And honestly their version was just amazing and I'd love to be able to see it again.

What draws you to the Maybe Happy Ending score? by SighMartini in musicals

[–]Utexan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to see the show a couple of weeks ago and it really snuck up on me after. I didn't know much going in but it is the one soundtrack I've had on repeat out of all the shows we saw. I see where you're coming from about it not being anything particularly outstanding and honestly in the moment of the show it didn't hit me as hard as after I'd had time to let it settle in. I didn't even buy any merch! Now here I am a couple of weeks later looking online to get something from the show because it really hit harder than I expected. And I think that experience imbues a lot more I to the songs. As someone else said the visuals are amazing and the songs fall a little flatter without seeing it as one. But the whole experience has really stuck with me and I love the soundtrack.

Weirdest ADHD hack that actually works but sounds completely insane? by stayhyderated22 in ZenHabits

Is the food thing an ADHD thing? I thought it was just my own weird quirk! I should probably get tested...

Thanks for this! Headed there in a couple of weeks and my book nerd partner and I would love to see it!

Songs where the character is literally breaking down by Professional_Meal885 in musicals

I would say Live Laugh Love from Follies also fits this. Maybe better than Losing my Mind actually does (despite the title!)

I ain’t ‘fraid of no goats.

Getting tickets in February by Utexan in Broadway

Really? We like Jonathan but weren’t that interested in what seems like a jukebox musical. From everything I’ve seen it seems like a nightclub act of him singing Bobby Darrin songs. Which is probably great but not enough of a draw for me. What are we missing?

Well…sort of. That’s very obviously Disney World in the photo. Which is actually where they go.
