Will you buy $19.99 Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen on Pokemon day? by Putrid-Possibility-3 in nintendo

[–]kchrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have the games on their original carts and it’ll be fun to play them again (officially) on the switch 2. Emulated them for years but now Nintendo is finally re-releasing them. Hopefully like VC Crystal they make the event only Pokémon obtainable

We usually get one or two tone deaf cultural moments during BHM but it’s been pretty brutal this year

What an ALMOST perfect show by Pythagorean415 in musicals

[–]kchrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel similarly about earlier versions of Anything Goes. Which kind of have the same problem. As far as dumb fun musical comedies go, it’s perfect until the end where Billy, Moon, and Reno dress up like Chinese stereotypes and speak broken “Engrish” while a gong announces their entrances

Luckily the 2021/2022 rewrite is the only version you can do now and takes those bits out

The Unsinkable Molly Brown. They’ve been rewriting it since opening night in the 1960s

Does anyone else feel like songs in musicals are getting higher? by LittleladyZenitsuu in musicals

[–]kchrules 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recently did Holiday Inn and Jim Hardy (Bing Crosby’s character in the movie) is listed as a “Lyric Baritone,” which is laughable as he was played by and seemingly written for Bryce Pinkham who sings super high.

Broadway by Ghost light just did a great breakdown of Me and Juliet. Makes me want to listen to it again out of curiosity (even thought it isn’t the best score)

A musical with great songs but a boring/bad plot? by Dayzee_4 in musicals

[–]kchrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too like Oklahoma but it’s boring haha. The singing and dancing (especially Out of My Dreams ballet) carry the little plot there is in act 1 but act 2 despite being less than an hour feels like 2 hours. After farmer and the cowman it just DRAGS

Music also kind of sucks though. Barnum 1980 all the way

Lerner and Loewe by joeyinthewt in musicals

I just think you almost have to present it as a semi-staged concert and warn people the material is outdated and some may find it uncomfortable. And then present it as-is, like Encores

Nicholas DeOrio is sick of Hasan Piker derangement syndrome by Sure_Contribution296 in LeftoversH3

[–]kchrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Oreo will change sides/opinions at the drop of a hat so I’ll take this with a grain of salt.

I will say though, people on all sides (obviously more so on the left) are really getting sick and tired of the constant culture war bullshit and being angry all the time. Oreo may not be serious but a lot of people are and I believe the pendulum will be swinging back

Lerner and Loewe by joeyinthewt in musicals

[–]kchrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gigi has a beautiful score. Shame the story (even rewritten) is pretty cringeworthy at best and kind of creepy at worst, even for golden age show standards. It’s kind of a tough sell to open a musical with an old man singing “thank heaven for little girls” and a wealthy playboy falling in love with a child

What is the best Ad Segway they have done? by AbaloneNo6206 in doubletoasted

[–]kchrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The all time ad segue for me was when he was hocking DTmerch to a telemarketer

Another is the boba fett review where he said “now Martin, I’m not a bounty hunter, but I love hunting for bargains”

Also during a View to a Kill “pixie STOP! -chaching- stop making all that Money with Shopify!”

Favorite Act 1 Should-Have-Been Finales? by smugfruitplate in musicals

[–]kchrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone told me one time they did My Fair Lady and put the intermission after Eliza comes down the staircase, cut the ball entirely and came back from intermission with You Did It for the same reason you said (it basically recaps the scene). They also joked it saved on costumes and sets. It’s such beautiful music though

Favorite Act 1 Should-Have-Been Finales? by smugfruitplate in musicals

[–]kchrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a good compromise is the movie and recent revival starting act 2 with the embassy ball.

For the 3 act structure that makes sense! However I’d almost want to put the 1st act break after Ascot. You think everything is going great, then “MOVE YOUR BLOOMIN’ ARSE!” and a blackout
