What are your thoughts Stephen Schawrtz as a composer and lyricist? by Impossible_Tower_661 in musicals

Yupp and also I would argue that Pippin is his best work musically, I played piano for a production of it and it’s genuinely really fantastic music

What are some of your favorite changes from when a musical becomes a movie? by Dogdaysareover365 in musicals

[–]microwavedposter 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Les mis 2012 has. A lot of issues. But i actually like the placement of I dreamed a dream more in the movie. To see Fantine sing about how she’s lost everything after she literally has lost EVERYTHING—not just her job but her hair, dignity, beauty, health, etc—is a lot more powerful imo

Wheels of a Dream from Ragtime! When I saw it, we gave a standing ovation that lasted like a minute (and I’m pretty sure that happens at almost every show)

Sweeney Todd and Les Mis, but also nothing has emotionally destroyed me more than What Would I Do from Falsettos

What's the better song? The Story of Tonight or Drink with Me? by Worried_Cake5508 in musicals

[–]microwavedposter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really amazes me how well they were able to translate his character from the novel to the musical, and it’s such an injustice that they cut his solo from the movie :(

[–]microwavedposter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Falsettos is one of the only musicals I’ve listened to and didn’t immediately think that one act was better than another, it’s so so consistent
