“no beauty could move me

no goodness improve me

no power on earth, if i can't love her.

no passion could reach me,

no lesson could teach me.

how i could have loved her,

and made her love me too.

if i can't love her, then who?

- if i can’t love her, beauty and the beast

new in your blog but what's your favorite Hamilton song? What's your 2nd favorite musical? ( mine is Guns and ships, Nonstop) and (Heather)

Today? Today it’s Non Stop because i just sent my friend an entire essay about just the argument between Eliza and Alex. The motifs, the symbolism, the callbacks, the apotheosis, the appeal of humanity vs the allure of hubris *chefs kiss*. Honestly? One of my friends doesn’t think Hamilton is sad. And yet i’ve spent most of the morning obsessing over just how sad this one little conversation is. And the implications it has to say about Eliza! Incredible. This song, this argument, is the first time Eliza says his name in the play. Period. Hardstop. And the implications are insane!!! You know what? I’ve been debating writing essays about Hamilton, but a this point i’m seriously considering it because there is so much to talk about 😭

Omggg it’s soooo The Fiddler on the Roof. The history. The motifs. The comedy. The tragedy. It’s all soooooo sublime.

Note: The show notes and the story synopsis are not final, this is just currently what I have in mind. Just not that I thought that Rogers: The Musical in Hawkeye was cringe and I want this to be an Avengers musical with a much higher quality.

Assassins In Love (An Avengers Musical)

Production Notes:

The story and the production design will incorporate elements from the comics, in particular the 616 timeline, but there will be references to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. References to the Avengers Assemble and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoons are very welcome. The goal of the production is to be fan service in good taste, but in such a way that non-fans can also enjoy it. Action scenes/language/sensuality will be kept at the PG-13 level.

The songs will be in the style of classic Broadway and Disney musical numbers, with touches of hip-hop and big band jazz. The superheroes and villains in their fight scenes will wear bright, colorful costumes based on their comic book and film counterparts.

The majority of the story takes place in 2010s New York City. Scenes with flashbacks and travel to other places can be depicted with lighting and stage effects.

Genres: Action, Romance, Romantic Comedy, Suspense, Spy thriller

Characters:

Starring Characters: Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier and Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow

Supporting female characters: Sharon Carter/Agent 13, Maria Hill, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch

Pepper Potts appears at the party in Act I and in the Finale

Supporting Male characters: Steve Rogers/Captain America and Sam Wilson/Falcon; Tony Stark/Iron Man, Nick Fury, Phil Coulson, and of course Clint Barton/Hawkeye

Villains: Alexander Pierce/Red Skull and Madame B from the Red Room; Kingpin also appears briefly in Act II

Avengers Chorus: Vision, Thor, Bruce Banner/Hulk, Scott Lang/Ant-man and Hope Van Dyne/Wasp; Doctor Strange; Peter Parker/Spider-man, Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver; Rhodey/War Machine

Villain Chorus (for opening Avengers battle): Including but not limited to Loki, Baron Mordo, Mysterio, Doc Ock, Whiplash, and Zemo

Extras: NYC Civilians, SHIELD/Hydra agents

Clint Barton’s family from the MCU will be mentioned throughout the play and appear in the finale

Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter will have a romance that parallels and foils Bucky and Natasha’s relationship; they will be a couple by the end of the show.

Story Synopsis

ACT I:

Prologue—(The prologue will be depicted in a montage of scenes and dances with minimal dialogue).

Steve Rogers/Captain America and Bucky Barnes were best friends and fought side-by-side in World War II. At the end of the war, Captain America goes missing and Bucky is captured by Hydra. Red Skull turns Bucky into the Winter Soldier and uses him as an assassin to enforce Hydra’s agenda.

Meanwhile in Russia, the Red Room headed by Madame B trains young girls to be assassins but incorporates ballet into their program. Young Natasha Romanoff is one of the best pupils in the Red Room. Red Skull and Madame B arrange to have the Winter Soldier train with teenaged Natasha.

In modern times, Captain America returns. He fights the Winter Soldier only to discover that his opponent is his long-lost friend Bucky. Bucky goes into hiding.

Present Day

The Avengers save New York City from a team of supervillains. After the battle, Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff have a personal chat. Steve is adjusting to the modern world. However, ever since his encounter with the Winter Soldier he suspects that Hydra could be building in secret. He is also looking for Bucky but so far the search is fruitless. Natasha Romanoff is content with her existence as an Avenger, but she wonders if she can ever have a normal life and do something besides be an assassin. Sam Wilson arrives to tell Steve that Bucky has turned up.

At the headquarters of SHIELD, Director Nick Fury suspects that Hydra is rising again and warns Phil Coulson and Maria Hill to be on the lookout. Hydra is, in fact, operating under Fury’s nose, led by the Red Skull disguised as Alexander Pierce. Pierce works in a high-profile position at SHIELD. Madame B pays Pierce a visit, and together they plot to destroy the Avengers and help Hydra take over the world. Throughout the play, Madame B is in the background of various crowded scenes, spying on the characters.

After spending months in hiding, Bucky Barnes is in Brooklyn, his and Steve’s childhood home. Bucky is living in the streets while trying to remember his past and put his Winter Soldier days behind him. Steve Rogers finds Bucky and offers him material help. After some persuasion and argument, Steve gets Bucky to move in with him and Sam. Steve also invites Bucky to a party that night being thrown by Tony Stark.

Tony Stark throws a party at the Avengers Tower in Manhattan. While the other guests enjoy the party, Bucky sees Natasha Romanoff from across the crowded room. He remembers her from the Red Room. Natasha sees Bucky also, and she recognizes him. They meet and they talk briefly.

A few days after the party, she goes to Central Park and she sees Bucky again. They discuss their shared past.

Steve gets Bucky a job at SHIELD as a super-agent. For his first assignment, Bucky is sent out with Natasha Romanoff. It is at this point that Bucky recognizes that he has a growing romantic attraction to her.

ACT II:

Bucky has a hard time hiding his feelings for Natasha from the other Avengers. The Avengers and their coworkers at SHIELD believe that Natasha might like him back, but she is in denial. Nick Fury sends Bucky and Natasha undercover to a party in Manhattan hosted by Kingpin. Natasha and Bucky dance together at the party, and then they fight Kingpin’s thugs and arrest the crime magnate.

After the party, Natasha and Bucky frequently go on assignments together, but they also start seeing each other outside of work. Bucky is unsure about where to take his relationship with Natasha. He goes to Steve for advice, and as they reminisce about old times, they rekindle their former friendship. Later, Bucky summons up his personal courage and he tells Natasha that he loves her. They start ‘officially’ dating as a couple, but Madame B is spying on them. Maria Hill, however, is in turn spying on Madame B. Hill tips off Fury that Hydra is going to make their move.

Natasha rented an apartment in Manhattan (furnished by SHIELD) for an ongoing assignment and she is staying there while she and Bucky are dating. Madame B breaks into Natasha’s apartment while she is getting ready for a date with Bucky. Natasha is overpowered and tied to a chair. Then Madame B disguises herself as Natasha and she goes out and captures Bucky.

The Avengers receive Nick Fury’s call for help and they ‘Assemble’ to take out Hydra. Sharon Carter makes a phone call to Natasha and learns that Natasha has been captured and that Bucky is being lured into a trap. While the Avengers go to save Bucky, Natasha attacks her guards and frees herself to go join the Avengers.

When the Avengers come to rescue Bucky, Alexander Pierce reveals himself to them as Red Skull. There is a battle between the Avengers and the Hydra sleeper agents. Natasha arrives, and during the combat she and Bucky steal several moments to ask each other if they are all right. Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes take turns fighting the Red Skull. Red Skull attempts to set off a bomb, but Natasha disables it. Bucky kills Red Skull. Madame B and the other Hydra agents are arrested. Bucky asks Natasha to marry him and she says yes.

Finale: The Avengers throw a big wedding for Bucky and Natasha.

why are so many people in like yt comments only there to complain about modernized/nontraditional/nonhistorical stagings and costumings of operas. “rossini wouldn’t have wanted il barbiere di siviglia to look that plain and ugly” “der freischutz doesnt work if it’s not set specifically in early 19th century germany” “ohh don giovanni shouldn’t be wearing a modern 3 piece suit” why not. there’s a hundred productions a year. as long as the director is Doing Something Interesting with the opera i don’t really care if it’s “period accurate” or not. if you can’t engage in the story without some pretty period costumes to focus on that’s a you problem

#really the insistence by some commenters on Only Historical Productions Ever is really annoying.#like the existence of nontraditional/'modernized' stagings doesn't erase the existence of tradaitional/historical ones #nor does it prevent those operas from being staged traditionally/historically again?#like i promise you the met is not gonna stop staging 18th century shows in the 18th century #just cause some random theater festival in europe didn't.#and of course i know that a lot of 'modernized' productions miss the point of the operas they're restaging. and a lot of them Are Bad #but like i don't think that's a justification for complaining about restaging shows to be more 'modern' as a whole #or a reason to get all pearl clutchy about the death of opera or whatever #sometimes to bring out new meaning in a text you have to give it a fresh coat of paint. simple as #and i think it's creatively a bit boring to think that The Only Way to do a show is with a specific historical aesthetic #again i have the same gripe with musical theater too but at least i've seen productions of multiple different operas that #Do Something Different with the staging and costuming from the traditional. sexy oklahoma is pretty much the only major broadway work #that i know of that does the same thing. sigh!#sasha speaks

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde The Gothic Musical Thriller (1995)

I honestly had no idea this even existed until last night! It's a gothic masterpiece. Anthony Warlow as the lead is equivalent to his role as lead in Phantom of the Opera, fucking ridiculously talented!!

🎼 "All that you are is a face in the mirror! I close my eyes and you'll disappear!

I'm what you face when you face in the mirror! Long as you live, I will still be here!"🎼

🎼 "I'll live inside you forever!

No!

With Satan himself by my side!

No!

And I know that, now and forever

They'll never be able to separateJekyll from Hyde!"🎼

For any other 90's kids in Tumblr-land who happen to also be theatre kids...Marc Summers is coming to an Off-Broadway stage this summer and he is bringing slime!!!

I had gotten hints that this was coming from his interview on the "Hey Dude The 90's Called" Podcast but this sounds even better than I expected! I mean just the pictures of the set are a huge nostalgia bomb!

Summers developed the show with Alex Brightman (yes Beetlejuice's Alex Brightman!) and there is going to be music by a composer, Drew Gasperini, who I am just learning the name of but am apparently a fan of his work (Skittles! The Musical!).

I can't wait!
