There is something so satisfying about Mr Wormwood saying the line "good hair means a good brain" as he reveals his green hair

Mrs Wormwood is the ultimate bimbo and it is SO FUN to play her

Okay we blocked a couple scenes today and I gotta say... I actually adore the people I'm working with

My Mr Wormwood is an ICON and we work really well, and one of my best friends is playing Matilda so it's just really fun and we all have a really good dynamic

I have come to terms with my role. Still not overly happy but the girls playing Miss Honey are SO TALENTED and they'll be incredible so. I can accept it

So I did not get Miss Honey. I am trying to be positive even though they double cast so I had twice the chance

I got Mrs Wormwood but we might not be allowed to do Loud so. That's fun

Auditions for matilda were last saturday and we have to wait until NEXT saturday for parts and I want them now please

#i'm so impatient #matilda 2021

[musicals-and-music-halls]

I am willing to believe that Elphie is a bi woman and actually liked Fiyero. But Glinda????? That's some serious comphet, babyyyy

#i was literally JUST thinking about this #like legit this morning #glinda is a repressed lesbian #and no one can convince me otherwise #glinda #wicked glinda #wicked #gelphie

[musicals-and-music-halls]

So the next show is Matilda, but it doesn't start til September, so obviously everyone is speculating on who should get which parts

And ya girl obviously wants Miss Honey because that role is PEAK

And apparently everyone else is precasting me as that role so FINGERS CROSSED LADS

Story Time

So I'm in a play and we rehearse and perform outside (because covid) so I usually have my hair tied back. I never really thought anything of it, and I mostly have it in a high ponytail because that's what my character wears

But yesterday, the day of the first performance, we'd been rehearsing all day and my hair was a mess so while we were sat around on break about an hour before the audiance started showing up, I took my hair down with the intention of putting it up again later so it'd actually be neat for the play

But as I did, one of the guys just went "wow..." and turns out he'd never seen me with my hair down and just thought I looked really pretty and I can't stop thinking about it like it was so sweet and lovely

Moral of the story: say the nice things you think, even if you don't know someone that well. It might just make their day

I was rehearsing for a play the other day and I saw a mouse!! She was in the wings (it's an outdoor stage) and I love her

So we blocked Mama I'm A Big Girl Now today so the song is obvs in my head

And I was just, absent-mindedly singing Amber's part because she's my fave kid character. But I uh. Mixed up the words a little and made myself laugh so here:

Once upon a time I used to play with boys~

But now I'd rather play around with teenage toys~

So yeah. Safe to say I'm glad I'm not playing Amber because my cast would mock me MERCILESSLY for this error

#hairspray 2021

[musicals-and-music-halls]

So, new show started today lads. It's Hairspray which, I have to admit, I wasn't initially sold on. HOWEVER I decided to do it and I'm SO GLAD because I am immediately getting into the soundtrack AND I got cast as the part I wanted... Velma VonTussle

I'm so excited

#hairspray 2021 #plus #added bonus #immediately got added to the group chat #in the first batch of people #step up from what happened last time #i'm very happy #and excited #just an all-around good time

@thewittyphantom (sorry I have to keep replying like this, I'm on a side blog lmao)

Yes I totally agree that like, the lines themselves portray him as just a man who misses his wife and can't deal with it super well! My issue was in the delivery - to me, it felt kind of villain-y at points?

And yes they DEFINATELY do

Thanks I'll check those out!!

So I've only just joined this fandom and know almost nothing outside of the musical soundtrack itself, but I would sincerely love a Hadestown revival in which Hades isn't played as a villain.

Like, sure he and Persephone are having marital issues but they do really love each other and their iasues come from self doubt and significant time apart every year. Because if you look at the lyrics alone Hades could DEFINATELY be played as a slightly grey-moral god who doesn't have all that much time for mortals (but alp the gods seem slightly grey-moral when it comes to the mortals so...)

If instead the villainious one wasn't Hades, but The Fates

Imagine if instead of being seen to narrate the inner monologues of characters, they are actually planting these thoughts in their heads. They tell Hades that Orpheus would become a martyr without a catch, they tell Orpheus that Eurydice isn't behind him

I just think it'd be cool

@thewittyphantom

Oh that's so cool!! In the soundtrack the Fates didn't come across as villains but I just saw some potential for that to be played up, but Hades definately came off as a little too controlling to me. I'll definately look up what Patrick Page said though, that'd be super interesting, thanks!

I think after broadway reopens they should just put great comet back and pretend it was there all along

Had such a good time blocking numbers today it was SO FUN and I am PILING ON the gay subtext

In Defying Gravity we fully just ignored the OG blocking at one point to stare lovingly at each other when we were singing together and I just

I love Glinda and Elphaba so much and I'm so glad I get to play her
