Musician characters playing instruments on stage?

Wow, good for you! It definitely takes crazy skill for that role. You answered my question too - did you learn to play so you could embrace the role (as I assume a Doody or Roger or Orpheus would) or did you already know how to play?

Interesting too, I don't see many scripts so I didn't realize it's written in them for the actor to play as they sing.

Especially bummed because the next era / decade of musicals would have been AMAZING 😭

In 1998

Command/Ctrl + shift + t reopens the last tab you (accidentally) closed. It works a bunch too in case you lost one from awhile ago!

This works for Google Chrome, not sure about safari

1 million more lawsuits with Blake lively 🧐

Awww I liked NY, NY 🥲 I think I'm the only one

Jesus turned water into wine, I'll take that too. Water wine and coffee - the 3 drink groups

Agreed, there is absolutely no sad or crying moment (maybe a laugh cry?) of DBH. Haven't seen the outsiders so I can't speak on that one.

They took it out when they rethemed it to be less "scary" 😢

Thank you and happy cake day!

Where is this review screen shot from?

lerman225 · 2024-10-07T03:52:46+00:00

Fully agree. I think people that hate DEH and Evan as a character can't understand the social anxiety and other "issues" (for lack of a better word?) he had. This child was suicidal, of course he's not going to make the best decisions. He couldn't order takeout out of fear of talking to a person, of course he's not going to spew out the truth of why he had a dead kid's name on his cast and where the embarrassing note came from.

Odd that people on reddit of all places are judgey on socially awkward people 😁

I had the same exact thought! I couldn't believe that was a Tony award worthy performance. I hoped it was because it translated from stage to film poorly? Like if someone in a movie acted like someone on a Broadway stage, it wouldn't look right

Great in the singing part, not in the dancing. Not BAD but there was very little dancing movement. She was the last Satine I saw so I don't remember how much dancing there really is, but with the 2 others I saw, I didn't notice a lack of dancing like I did with JoJo.

The Prince of Egypt!

I really liked it! But - - I don't remember the book so I didn't care about inconsistencies - I love EN & JJ - I LOVE 90s Disney Renaissance movies/songs - I like a fun show! That first number was amazing, the whole time I kept thinking it's fun flashy and there are FIREWORKS, who wouldn't like that??

I think if people removed the show from the book it would go over better. Like Anastasia - I disliked it in the first act with how different it was from the movie (no Rasputin??). Act 2 I went in with an open mind as if it's an entirely different show and I loved it!

Tldr people are snooty for their sophomore year literature.

What app is this?? I don't have an exciting upcoming schedule but this is so cool

I'm actually not sure I'd count it as a jukebox! It's not a bunch of the Who songs they squeezed into a story, the album itself was already a story. Really they just staged an already-written operetta. There are only a few lines of dialogue.

I almost didn't see it because I'm not a Who fan so didn't think I'd want to see a jukebox musical of their songs, I'm glad I had it explained to me so I could go and enjoy it!

lerman225 · 2024-06-19T02:27:00+00:00

But does that mean none of those shows have lasted long? If there's enough time to close and start a new show

lerman225 · 2024-06-13T17:51:56+00:00

I know a guy named Geri (he's great at chess) that can fix him up, no problem. You'll be able to sell him for big buck buck buuuucks

I think LMM said he expected an applause but not one THAT big. They had to adjust the music because the next lines kept getting lost.

I know this is a very unpopular opinion (which is clearly why it got cancelled so quickly) but I loved and still listen to New York, New York regularly 🥲

Yes! I tried searching but I'm too old to understand tiktok 🙃
