35MM: A Musical Exhibition my beloved

reasons to listen to the cast album I've been looping for the past few days 😌 under a cut because this got long, content warnings at the end (for those thinking "huh that name sounds familiar" it may be because this is where The Ballad of Sara Berry comes from

Origin of The Ballad of Sara Berry (also Leave, Luanne, but I think LL is possibly more popular among already-fans of 35MM? As opposed to Sara Berry's transcendental popularity)

OG cast has Alex Brightman, of Beetlejuice fame-- today's teenage theatre children like Mr. Brightman, don't they?

But actually the cast recording is full of fantastic voices + actors: not only Alex Brightman, but also Ben Crawford, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Lindsay Mendez, and Betsy Wolfe, in alphabetical order

It's a song cycle rather than a traditional musical, so you can easily get much fuller of an experience simply listening to it + looking at the photographs for each song than you would get if you only listened to the cast recording of a more """normal""" show (did I steal this from the commentary album? maybe)

Who doesn't love murder? (Sara Berry)

Each song has a corresponding official photograph, which are as much part of the show as the songs. Is that not cool?? (It's cool.)

Nice lyrics! Although I did raise my eyebrow at some of the Genius annotations, I did very much enjoy seeing a deeper delve into the meanings-- for which the official commentary album was also very nice

Both The Seraph and Mama, Let Me In are about Queer Experiences™ and as we all know there's a lot of Queers™ in theatre spaces, so common experiences can be found 😌

I am not immune to ending songs that reprise several other songs from the soundtrack-- And Neither Are You

Genuinely the whole concept of 35MM-- the themes of photography, the accompanying photos, the transitions, the themes of the songs-- is just so tubular

If you love harmonies, you will be very pleased listening to these songs

35MM has a wide array of genres that therefore appeal to everyone: Vampire love(ish) duet (Twisted Teeth), everyone have fun (Why Must We Tell Them Why?), everything is batshit (Crazytown), I Am Crying (Cut You A Piece), etc

Who doesn't love demon children? (Caralee)

Also I am not going to pretend that I am a musical technique expert for every instrument ever-- at most I can offer some opinions and advice on the trombone-- but as far as I can tell the instruments are all well-played

35MM also has songs with a wide array of perspectives about (generally romantic) relationships, therefore appealing to everyone: Twisted but in love (Make Me Happy, also debatably Twisted Tweeth), developing (On Monday), Oh No This Is Unhealthy (Hemming & Hawing, also in a way Good Lady and The Party Goes With You), yearning™ (The Party Goes With You), I Am Crying (Cut You A Piece and The Seraph, but in different ways for different reasons)

The parts of The Seraph where [redacted for spoilers] and Cut You A Piece when [redacted for spoilers] come in are actually vocal arrangements that can be so personal

Since every song is its own story, if you're not fond of one then you can stop dealing with it as soon as the next song hits

Remember that post going around about specific narrative songs? Yeah.

👌 arrangements

Who doesn't love some good old-fashioned chivalry and knights? (Good Lady)

As popular as it is, I do also hold the opinion that 35MM is underrated

Adding on to which, the non-Sara Berry parts are Definitely underrated-- half the people who know 35MM only know Sara Berry (a statistic from I Just Made It Up But I Think It's Likely Labs) and that's such a shame because the rest of it's so good as well but it gets much less attention

As I've mentioned throughout this list, the show has an official commentary album, ft the composer & photographer, the og cast, and a few others, which is just so funky-- and it's really interesting to listen to the process and some of the thoughts behind the show

Who doesn't love vampires? (Twisted Teeth)

Relating to item 9, the transitions (Transition 1, Transition 2, etc) placed throughout the soundtrack also reprise (or pre-prise in one case) other songs from throughout the soundtrack and it's very neat

The lyrics Spotify gives you for the last song (titled "Finale") are actually the lyrics to the Legally Blonde finale, which I find amusing

Relating to item 7, there are not only genuinely very good lyrics, but also gems such as "You make me happy all the time/And you know that I'm a fucking fuck"

Speaking of lyrics, The Seraph's lyrics are just So Much slash pos. Like "You've shown me there is faith without fear or regret/You are a love as close to Heaven as I'll get" with the context of queer love? Screaming wailing sobbing slash pos

The whole message and lyrics of Cut You A Piece is just. screaming wailing sobbing slash pos (reprise)

The soundtrack is very symmetrical and I think that's neat :)

In conclusion, please listen to 35MM: A Musical Exhibition; it's so good and I've been thinking about it nonstop for the past three days

Now for CWs: While I wouldn't say it's an Edgy Show With Dark Themes™, there are definitely heavy themes and topics. Christianity is woven throughout the soundtrack, esp in The Seraph, Mama, Let Me In, Immaculate Deception, and Leave, Luanne off the top of my head

Also some death, such as in Cut You A Piece, and straight-up murder, more graphic in Sara Berry and implied in Leave, Luanne

Leave, Luanne also deals heavily with domestic abuse and Twisted Teeth contains one comparison to rape

iirc the show isn't very sexual, other than this one bit in Crazytown, and there's some slight language but not very Much iirc, but feel free to shoot me an ask about any possible other CWs/elaboration on anything I mentioned above!

If you're still here: congratulations now listen to 35mm pls <3

#my journey w 35mm has been listen to sara berry -> listen to the whole soundtrack -> meh it's okay #-> years later decide to listen to the whole thing again -> hey this is good -> three days later wow this is excellent #can't stop thinking about it etc #anyway #35mm #35MM #35MM: a musical exhibition #35mm: a musical exhibition #alex brightman #betsy wolfe #jay armstrong johnson #lindsay mendez #ben crawford #ryan scott oliver #matthew murphy #the ballad of sara berry #og #english language musicals

Did some testing on a dollar tree sketchpad (brand is crown jewelz!) and besides the paper texture being a bit scratchy to the touch, it's actually not that bad! It even took markers/highlighters pretty well too which made me hella impressed!

According to Genius Lyrics the song “Twisted Teeth” from 35mm is about vampires???? Was I supposed to just figure that out myself??

I mean it makes sense but I genuinely didn’t notice. How are y’all just picking up in context clues without having to be told? Is that something I can learn or?
