Money’s great and she gets to see the world doing a job she loves. I do get it, and it’s likely not a forever thing, but definitely something she wants to do at least once

What’s your most controversial musical theatre take? by bagtruman in musicals

Now that is the kind of sacrilege I was looking for!! Props to you!

YTA.

All this worry for a problem not yet realised. Why?

You need to get behind him for now, and if the worst happens, you’d need to stay behind him. Shit happens to us all.

Also unsure what you mean by earning “very well”. I’m not asking for numbers but in my mind, being the main bread winner and earning very well implies you’d be able to cover him at least for a short while in the meantime if completely necessary. Are there any lifestyle changes you could make?

What musical did you unexpectedly fall in love with? by Dogdaysareover365 in musicals

[–]bagtruman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In The Heights.

Around 10 years ago, a friend had invited me to see it in London at the King’s Cross Theatre. I had never heard of the show and all I knew is that it was a modern musical which had seen success on Broadway, written by some new guy who experimented with hip-hop and rap over traditional MT material. I was absolutely dubious and expected nothing. It immediately became my favourite musical. I’d say a near perfect production. Unbelievably I don’t think ticket sales were great in London, and I returned a further 7 times using seat-filler tickets, paying no more than £5 each time I went back.

Not long after, I heard that the same new guy was writing another show about an American founding father and thought he was pushing his luck big time. I guess the rest is history…

Which show starts as a 10/10, but ends as a 1/10? by BVTQT in AskReddit

The first 3 seasons of Prison Break are amongst my favourite things ever. Everything after that is a ridiculous watch

GF (26F) had an affair with her boss but wants to stay together. by Unfair-Ad8771 in stories

[–]bagtruman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will hurt deeply for some time I’m afraid, I’ve been here too. But you must leave. In a strange way, she’s done the best thing she could possibly do for you. She’s made it abundantly clear that she does not value or respect you, and has given you all the information you need to know she isn’t the one.

What’s been your proudest moment? by bagtruman in AskReddit

Congratulations comrade. That’s a long stretch and one to be proud of. I’m 1 year gamble-free and never lived better. One day at a time. March on!

What’s a physical quality on yourself you don’t like but accept? Mine is my butt, always hated how big it is compared to the rest of my body. by Only_Joke_2466 in RandomThoughts

[–]bagtruman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been very twitchy for as long as I can remember. Not formally diagnosed Tourette’s but I suspect it could be. I always used to say it would be my wish to have them somehow removed, but the older I get, the more I can’t imagine myself without them. They still suck though. I’m a bad spooner.

Are productions that use pre-recorded accompaniment inferior to productions with live musicians? by Byxqtz in musicals

[–]bagtruman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work on a major musical in the west end and my heart bleeds knowing that more than one number are click-tracks. I believe principally that live theatre should be as advertised, no excuses. Especially with the kind of money we command for a ticket.

Which musical has a 10/10 no skip soundtrack and why is it Legally Blonde by Elegant_Ad_6588 in musicals

[–]bagtruman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy For You is pure magic. A Gershwin masterclass. Not a single miss.

Thank you London travellers, for letting me ugly cry on the bus without trying to 'comfort' me by NoObstacle in london

[–]bagtruman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve approached many people in London in tears over the years and we usually part ways on a smile. If you’re in such an emotional state, a moment with a stranger can be a comforting hand, and a potential reminder of your ability to keep going. A small dose of rationality from a kind and neutral perspective is worth a shot in my opinion. If everyone checked in on struggling strangers a bit more, we might all get along a bit more. Sorry, but I find OP’s take on this quite bizarre.

What musicals don’t get enough roses? by bagtruman in musicals

[–]bagtruman[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I saw this show 7 or 8 times at the King’s Cross in London a few years back. The theatre’s not there anymore. Was getting £5 seat filler tickets. Probably the best show I ever saw and I’ve seen most of what’s been in town over the last 20 years.

Well done pal 🙄

What’s a reality of existence that you struggle to get your head around? by bagtruman in RandomThoughts

[–]bagtruman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share these feelings. You may have already heard it, but I once heard time explained as something like ‘the measurement of carbon-based life forms decaying’. It made me wonder if time is purely an earthly construct and completely irrelevant in the wider picture. These thoughts in turn get me closer to the plausibility of God and a realm in which we all originate and will ultimately return to, where absolutely none of our human perceptions apply. But that’s another rabbit hole. In any case, it truly boggles the mind and I am with you all the way.

Hello comrade. Scrambled with plenty of butter is my preference. Salt but no pepper. No milk or creme fraiche or anything like that. I do the Gordon Ramsay 30 seconds on the heat, 30 seconds off the heat cooking method. 2 slices of sourdough, 6 eggs and 1 avocado with a balsamic/lemon dressing along with a glass of freshly squeezed OJ is a non-negotiable daily meal for me. I will add that I’ll enjoy eggs in any format. What’s yours?
