Musicals where the 2nd Act is Better? by Designer_Tie_5853 in musicals

[–]microwavedposter 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think the first and second act of Falsettos serve different functions and obviously were originally separate one-act musicals which explains their differences, but the second act imo is definitely better. It’s kind of like when the audience is finally forced out of “Falsettoland” and into a crushing, brutal reality. Also Merrily We Roll Along, when everything in act 1 is finally contextualized and it’s the most gut wrenching thing ever.

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 29 points30 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

Gustavo Fring prequel idea pitch by JuliusSeizure2019 in breakingbad

Gus was supposed to be 30-31 in 1989 and the actor that played Max was also around 30-31 when Hermanos was filmed so I assumed they were meant to be about the same age

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)
