i just read an article and apparently jonathan kaplan (who played jason in the falsettos obc and was 11 at the time), watched his voice teacher who helped him through the show's auditions decline and eventually die from aids related illness during the show's previews.

in this same article michael rupert mentioned how there would be patients who came and saw the show and would go to the stage door just to be near the performers and tell them how much the story meant to them.

one day, heather macrae (charlotte) attended the funeral of her friend paul jabra and immediately after went straight to the theatre to perform in the evening show.

stephen bogardus recalls leaving the theatre and walking through the audience (about 15 minutes after the show had finished) and people would still be there holding each other.

#i feel like what can be so easy to forget is that even though falsettos was on broadway in 1992 which is over 10 years after #the first cases of aids were reported it was only in 1992/93 that the epidemic was reaching its peak #like it was at its worst when falsettos was playing 8 shows a week #i don't know how they did it #mentally and emotionally #falsettos #falsettos obc

Little things from the 1993 Falsettos that I love

Literally anything Chip Zein does

Bitching at the bed

The almost kisses are torture

Mavin introducing Jason to Whizzer

They're so fucking dramatic

These karate moves

More drama

I love that at the end of this one of them goes "MWAH!"

"It's queer Mr. Marvin..oops" and when Marvin says "What gives with you today?" (and basically all of Marvin at the psychiatrist)

Pinch

The way Michael Rupert sings "That's what pretty boys should do!"

I love Breaking Down in the revival but something about this staging just gets me

Honestly same Mendel

This little heel kick

Whatever the fuckl this is

More fantastic staging

Marvin throwing a tantrum

Stop I love them

I don't know what this choreography is but I love it

Get it Jason

"What was the name of that BITCH?"

"I wanna see the BALD SPOT!"

Cordelia braiding Charlotte's hair in Everything Will be Alright

The way Heather MacRae sings "Do you know how great my life is."

Boop

Marvin's little victory lap

"You people are so white."

"Look at your couch it's homo-baroque."

I wish this was in the revival

:,)

Marvin whispering "Stop, stop" during this scene always gets me

This little I love you gesture breaks my heart

He's so fucking over this

Guy's we're in a hospital keep it down, jesus

Marvin's soft "Oh, fuck." at the end of Something Bad is Happening (reprise)

When Whizzer leaves the stage for the final time he doesn't exit through the door and I don't know the symbolism in that just makes me sob

I probably overall prefer the pacing and staging of the revival, but the obc is so so fucking good. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

I absolutely adore the lyrics in this version, and Charlotte's background vocals are heartbreaking.

On June 3rd 1863 Neil Munro, novelist and poet, perhaps best known for his "Para Handy" stories was born in Inverary.

Neil Munro is best known for his ‘Para Handy’ stories these days but his writing career encompassed journalism, poetry and criticism, as well as his novels, making him one of the most visible literary figures of his time. His books fell out of fashion for a while but reprints of his work in the early 1990s and the appearance of a biography has brought him to the attention of a new audience.

Born in Inveraray in Argyll, in 1863, he came from a family of Gaelic speakers and though the language was beginning to lose its currency in that part of Scotland and Munro wrote in English, its influence can be felt strongly in his writing.

He began his career as a journalist on newspapers in the Glasgow area. After the publication of a short story collection, followed by two or three novels, he cut back on the journalism to concentrate on his writing. The appearance of a new character, Para Handy, in a short story in 1905 introduced a new comic strain in his work and the three collections of Para Handy stories (including The Vital Spark) were immediately successful. They transferred to the small screen in two separate sitcom series with the eponymous hero played by Duncan Macrae in the 1950s/60s and Gregor Fisher in the 1990s.

Munro returned to journalism during the First World War, becoming editor of a Glasgow evening paper in 1918.

Although we know Munro best for his Para Handy he was a very accomplished poet and it is his poem To Exiles I have chosen to highlight this. I hope all our overseas members with Scottish blood can take something from this work, I particularly like the last two lines "Fond are our hearts although we do not bare them,-- They're yours, and you are ours for ever-more."

To Exiles

Are you not weary in your distant places,

Far, far from Scotland of the mist and storm,

In drowsy airs, the sun-smite on your faces,

The days so long and warm?

When all around you lie the strange fields sleeping,

The dreary woods where no fond memories roam,

Do not your sad hearts over seas come leaping

To the highlands and the lowlands of your Home?

Wild cries the Winter, loud through all our valleys:

The midnights roar, the grey noons echo back;

Round steep storm-bitten coasts the eager galleys

Beat for kind harbours from horizons black;

We tread the miry roads, the rain-drenched heather,

We are the men, we battle, we endure!

God's pity for you people in your weather

Of swooning winds, calm seas, and skies demure!

Wild cries the Winter, and we walk song-haunted

Over the moors and by the thundering falls,

Or where the dirge of a brave past is chaunted

In dolorous dusks by immemorial walls.

Though rains may thrash on us, the great mists blind us,

And lightning rend the pine-tree on the hill,

Yet we are strong, yet shall the morning find us

Children of tempest all unshaken still.

We wander where the little grey towns cluster

Deep in the hills, or selvedging the sea,

By farm-lands lone, by woods where wildfowl muster

To shelter from the day’s inclemency;

And night will come, and then far through the darkling,

A light will shine out in the sounding glen,

And it will mind us of some fond eye’s sparkling,

And we’ll be happy then.

Let torrents pour then, let the great winds rally,

Snow-silence fall, or lightning blast the pine;

That light of Home shines warmly in the valley,

And, exiled son of Scotland, it is thine.

Far have you wandered over seas of longing,

And now you drowse, and now you well may weep,

When all the recollections come a-thronging

Of this rude country where your fathers sleep.

They sleep, but still the hearth is warmly glowing,

While the wild Winter blusters round their land:

That light of Home, the wind so bitter blowing --

Do they not haunt your dreams on alien strand?

Love, strength, and tempest--oh, come back and share them!

Here’s the old cottage, here the open door;

Fond are our hearts although we do not bare them,--

They're yours, and you are ours for ever-more.
