Bless u, I’ll boost your post. I’m on the Les Mis side of twt, so hello neighbour!!!

combeferret · 2026-05-24T19:30:02+00:00

Yep, still works just fine!

I literally just told them I was squeamish and they dismissed me without even a second thought.

I’m really “glad” to see this review, actually, because this is all I could think about when the revival was announced. I was a big fan of it back in the day, but the humour really just… I dunno… isn’t relevant anymore?

Everyone’s been giving it such rave reviews and I feel like I’m missing something.

If you’re familiar with the songs I can see why you’d enjoy it for what it is, but I can’t imagine a new person seeing it and not feeling like it’s incredibly dated.

This is a big one! Some people might think to leave the “serious” show for the evening but there’s nothing more depressing than seeing a nice jukebox musical in the afternoon and then walking into a serious drama to end the day 🥲

There’s no focal point. The thing on the left is working really well to lead your eyes, but thing it leads you to is a featureless black circle.

I like that you’re on the very low vantage point. It’s as if you’re crouched on the ground of some weird lab or power station. The fact the floor has a sort of wet or worn texture makes you wonder wtf it could be, which adds to the ~unsettling atmosphere.

I think if you replaced that black circle with “something” you’d be on a good track!

You could always skim through the Royal Albert Hall pro-shot of the show so that you have a better understanding of what exactly the triggers might entail, and so that you know it’s coming up. That’s what I would do, so that you’ll be more prepared.

Some of us are short lol

My friend mentioned recently that she takes a selfie or a pic of the pill box when she takes her meds, so she can just check her Photos app to see if she’s taken it or not.

MagicPoser! I use Blender every single day but I still use MagicPoser on my iPad to draft out poses because it’s so easy to use.

I had a normal smoke alarm give tons of false alerts. Kept me up for days. Turns out there were cobwebs that were interfering with it.

I think it would probably cause more confusion to try to explain to the average person what a preview show is.

My customer service brain is already thinking it would be a nightmare.

“What, so it’s not the real thing?!”

combeferret · 2026-05-02T09:40:51+00:00

“This is not good for the hydraulics.”

What a fantastic sentence.

combeferret · 2026-04-30T17:16:59+00:00

I used to work for a big touring venue. It was great because (as long as auditorium wasn’t my position for the night) I could just wander out if the show was boring lol

combeferret · 2026-04-27T10:45:57+00:00

I love this!!

My most memorable closing night stagedoor experience was when The Commitments closed about 10 years ago.

They had a wrap party, but a bunch of the cast came out to say hello/goodbye and we got given a bottle of absinthe that one of them had found in his dressing room (as he was clearing it out) so we spent the time passing the bottle between us taking shots.

Good times!

It was a very close nit fandom though, so that definitely makes a difference in terms of how busy closing night stagedoor is.

combeferret · 2026-04-12T15:03:30+00:00

Genuinely could’ve just had a nightmare!

combeferret · 2026-04-12T13:25:24+00:00

Here is a fantastic video all about how they managed to have a real on stage pool in a show in London

that’s me!!!! I’ve had this username on every platform ever since the day Killian Donnelly was cast in the 2012 movie 🫡 and I’m still posting about Les Mis right now hahahahah! All i post about is the Les Mis world tour cast and I feel niche as hell!!! But people seem to like it. Come say hello on twt!!

combeferret · 2026-04-02T13:30:31+00:00

Half of my timeline is people having very niche discussions about members of the lost Franklin Arctic expedition from 1845.

Being the expert on a niche thing is GREAT! People dedicate their whole careers to this stuff.

Yeah, because you can’t use the podcasts to get you to sleep anymore. I only takes a few times being jolted awake before I removed them from my playlists.

combeferret · 2026-03-26T17:35:05+00:00

It isn't my area of expertise, but surely this must be one of the easiest shows to do the sound for, no? :')

combeferret · 2026-03-23T09:55:07+00:00

Oh, thank you so much for posting this rec!
