i could never be a theatre critic or do a tiktok where i rank shows i've seen bc i'm so easily pleased. i'm either a "i loved it, i'm obsessed," "i loved it," "i liked it," or "i liked it but it's not for me." type of person
The nerdiest people you know are freaking out about niche a cappella musical theatre songs being sung by the most insane assortment of theatre turned tv/movie stars you can think of and I think that’s just beautiful
i love it when hadestown actors bring their cultures to stage. dylan and sebastian saying "aye!" instead of "yes!", rachel saying "my mammy" instead of "my mama", desmonda and maia saying "sing it!" in their own languages, jon jon briones counting in tagalog in way down and so on
dance, opera, theatre, and musicals being so openly disrespected nowadays is insane to me. you can’t say you want old hollywood back but then not appreciate what compounded it in the first place. can’t say you’re cultured and into film art but find at half of these dreadful.
