Bekah, 24, she/her. A sideblog for all things musical theatre, lots of Newsies, Laura Osnes and Jeremy Jordan. Main blog is lyriumrebel.
Have a nice day :)
Now look, i fully went through the Lin Manuel Hamilton phase of reading every take I could, every musical choice he explained for why chracters say this, or what inspired that rhyme.
And Jorge is out here doing it again, in depth, letting us know the process behind the music, the arrangements, the instrumental choices as it happens. Giving us insights into lines and connections I wasn't smart enough to make myself. I wasn't looking to follow the creation of a musical or animation or whatever this ends up being for several years already, but Jorge gives us so much detail to really show off just how intricately beautiful every aspect of his work is, that I can't stop looking.
And I love that.
Gotta wonder what it’s like being Jorge Rivera-Herrans knowing that you’re the one who wrote, “When does a ripple become a riddle wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster?” AND “Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves” AND “The line between naïveté and hopefulness is almost invisible”
Like, how does it feel to be THAT good with words and know that not only are they phenomenally arranged, but people love them so much that they’ve found life outside to context of their origins. Like, people are going to remember these words dude. I STILL get chills listen to Epic and I know most of the words by heart
Ahh lucky you! I'm still mad i didn't dive across the couple next to me to get the paper they didn't pick up from the aisle after they fell from the rafters. It had been cleaned away the next time i looked 😔
Finally hung my newsies paper in my new place (one month after moving in)
Honestly who gave Wicked the RIGHT to express what's expressed in For Good.
You've changed me and I've changed you. Permanently and inescapably and completely and nearly beyond recognition, certainly beyond being able to undo it or even knowing where to start, where to begin to untangle the twisted threads of our intertwined lives.
Was the change for the better? I'm not sure. The change has been too deep and too complete; i don't know who i am without you.
But i think it was for the better. In any case it was for good.
