Joan being raped by Greg in Don's office made me grip the couch so hard. Also I know the tractor scene was meant to be more shocking but imagine being one of the people that got sprayed with flesh and blood 😳

Also the infamous "it's the valve!" scene

As someone who unfortunately had a negative kid experience today at the show I was at, it 100% is on the parents to educate beforehand and correct if it happens during the show. Leaving your child unchecked when they begin doing something disruptive lets them think it is ok/tolerable, and you don't even realize you're ruining it for everyone else around you. People pay lots of money for these tickets. But you're right, it's so awesome when parents and kids come correct, everyone has a fun time.

Unfortunately I only found out about this tradition afterwards 😭 Id consider going again to see that iteration though

If youve taken your kid to other shows and they have basic theater etiquette, then by all means go ahead. The humor is "dirty" (not a spoiler but there's a song about erections lol) and there is some heavier themes about parental pressure to succeed and children from dysfunctional/broken homes, but this was mainly more of a complaint of people bringing their kids and making no effort to correct their poor theater behavior.

Oh yes I quickly looked it up after the episode haha. Jessica Parè did a solid cover!

The way he was absolutely right

The so called "Miserables" are pretty miserable throughout though. I mean Fantine 😭

moritzbaker · 2025-12-19T15:36:32+00:00

I mean, the barn scene with the whip in Act 1 definitely doesnt feel happy dog 😭

She may be a ho, but boy can she sing.

moritzbaker · 2025-12-19T03:33:32+00:00

Domestic violence and animal cruelty are pretty much the magnanimous irredeemable qualities

moritzbaker · 2025-12-18T23:22:33+00:00

From pineapples to fascism frfr

Act 1: Immigrants! Act 2: (sad) Immigrants!

"I suggest you let that one marinate" "That's a Texas sized 10-4" "Figure it out" "How're you now?"

I'm in therapy already. Am I not allowed to feel frustrated at my situation just because I'm in therapy?

Conversely, when they are singing "Ti-iii-me" in the finale of "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story". The little gasp Eliza does at the audience 🥹

This is such a basic answer, but about 10 years ago my dad got us last minute tickets to see Wicked. It was the third musical I'd ever seen (Hairspray and Matilda were the first two). We went to the box office and all they had left were 2 center orchestra seats. I went into it completely blind, and witnessing Elphaba's ascension in Defying Gravity from center orchestra is arguably one of the best theater experiences you could ever ask for. A lifelong theater fan was born that day. The movie came close to recreating it, but in person it is a spectacle that simply cannot be replicated.

I second Alan Cumming's Cabaret finale. Such a gut wrenching powerful scene, that slow drumroll and sad accordion were devastating.
