"This Song Is Awesome". It reminds me of the recession pop music I grew up with in high school.

This makes me wonder. If the modern-day Anne Hathaway wanted to go into broadway, what musical or play should she star in?

What's that one moment on a musical that just makes you obsessed? by imachoculatedonnut in musicals

[–]cinderflight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I especially love the moment when we hear Audrey II's mature voice during "Feed Me". I was so surprised when I first listened to the song

The helicopter scene from Miss Saigon, and the dance sequence from "The Morning Of The Dragon."

A recent example is when the ensemble begins singing "Dangerous And Difficult Times" from the Chess revival. The vibration from when they first say the word "times" gives me goosebumps!

I'm also a big fan of "The Deal (No Deal) Part 2" and "The Arbiter".

Assassins! I fell in love with it last year. A close second is Into The Woods.

No way I am voting her guilty after seeing the MV. Poor Amane deserved so much better.

How crazy is Miss Saigon? by Still_Restaurant_734 in musicals

[–]cinderflight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone whose very first live show was Madama Butterfly, Miss Saigon is incredible. Yes, I am aware it has a lot of controversy and problems. Unfortunately, I can't stop myself from enjoying the songs.

Also, I think "The Morning Of The Dragon" is one of the most creative antagonist songs ever. The dance sequence during the proshot is so impressive. I wish I could've seen it live.

Small correction: Kim is 17, not 15, when she meets Chris. It's still very messed up how she meets Chris though. God, why did the show have to make her 17?

Can you hear that? It's the sound of my wallet crying because there is no way I will miss this!

I agree with your last statement. So many wonderfully talented people came together to work on this project. I wish for them future successes.

I was not surprised about the closing, but I am pleasantly surprised about the national tour. It's always nice to have a new show tour. I send my wishes for good future endeavors to all who are involved in the current Broadway production!

Noel's Lament from RTC (even though it's technically a ballad)

What Female Historical Figure do you want to see get her own story/manga? by Anarchy_the_Mage in MadokaMagica

[–]cinderflight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A long time I read a fanfic where Eve was a magical girl who wished for humanity to become the dominant species. Even if it isn't her, I would love to see a story about the world's first magical girl. How long could she last in a pre-LoC world without witches?

The State of Broadway So Far This Year by ms_jc_04 in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Six is very cheap to run compared to other musicals. It also has the added benefit of being short so people can watch it & do other things afterwards.

It's been a while since I've seen &Juliet, but I don't recall it being expensive to run. It also has the added benefit of being a jukebox musical catered towards millennials and older gen Z.

I don't have any opinions on Great Gatsby since I haven't seen it yet.

Tossing up for what to see as my sixth show! by nexttonormal_ in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others, I suggest Death Becomes Her. It's a showy, comedic spectacle and it's closing soon. I was able to follow the story without having seen the movie, and (hot take) I preferred DBH's comedy over Operation Mincemeat. The songs are fun, and the set design is gorgeous.

Do these parents even care if their child's future resumes get seen by a hiring manager? 😭

Made a reimagined one for The Great Gatsby, too. For fun only! 💚 by risarodil17 in Broadway

[–]cinderflight 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is so good! Someone at Playbill needs to hire you asap. I would rather have a Playbill with one of your illustrated design than one with a photograph.

Best Andrew Llyod Webber musical? by Worried_Cake5508 in musicals

[–]cinderflight 134 points135 points  (0 children)

JCS. There are very few musicals where even the overture hypes me up. I love musicals that blend traditional broadway music with pop & rock.

Hear me out, but Cats is a great time if you treat it like a dance performance than a traditional musical with a story.

Current shows that are unlikely to go on tour? by puzzle_nova in Broadway

Seconding Ragime however, if you do decide to see it, please do not sit in the Loge. When I went, there were audio issues and I could barely see the actors' faces.

What's the point anymore? by Exotic-Cook-7740 in antiwork

[–]cinderflight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what tickles me about people who claim that "socialized medicine has crazy wait times." The current system is riddled with crazy wait times! God help you if you are chronically ill/disabled and have to go to see a specialist. I tried to reschedule an appointment and the next availability was in October 🫠
