GUYS you can listen to andrew rannells sing the man that got away at ANY POINT FOR FREE incase you forgot btw fyi life is worth living
I was watching different productions of falsettos yesterday because its fun and I found a falsettoland production by trinity college (the same college that made that in trousers production we've all watched) and it's one of my favourite productions I've seen and I'm giving some reasons why and also why you should check it out as well ;)
•Whizzvin kiss ON THE LIPS❗❗ In what more can I say :D
•ALSO. The lesbians have a kiss of the lips aswell during the baseball game which is adorable
•Slide. THE SLIDE MAKES A RETURN MFS❗ I love the stupid slide
•The girl who played Trina in the in trousers production plays her here :D
•Marvin reading a book during the baseball game 💀
•Whizzer brought a blanket with him to the baseball game and when Marvin tries touching his hair he just throws it over his hair to stop him (this made me laugh)
•Marvins goofy pink shorts during the racquetball games
•During holding to the ground Trina gets some water for whizzer and brings Charlotte in to help him 😭
•Whizzers cane. During you gotta die sometime and Jason's bar mitzvah whizzer uses a cane to help him move around and stand he also falls a couple times which shows he's struggling to hold his weight (it irritated me in productions of the show that whizzer even though he's immensely weak and ill would just move as easily as he did before he came in hospital so I'm glad they showed him struggling here).
•Jason and whizzers little interactions during Jason's bar mitzvah 😭 they're adorable
•Trust me here this production is so good check it out the cast play the characters amazingly and they're so talented it deserves more love
I was researching names and their meanings for a fic that I'm writing and I came across two things that i found highly interesting.
First, the name Marvin generally has two meanings: "sea friend" or "great lord". Any people well versed in In Trousers will immediately think of the Columbus theme and How America Got Its Name here, of course. With the amount of overcompenating grandiosity, the second one also feels fitting.
But that's not all. Apparently, in 1960s Britain, Marvin was actually slang.
Hank Marvin = Starving - “I'm completely Marvin.” Hank Marvin was a guitarist in popular band during the 1960s. Cockneys took a shine to his name, and now you can announce your levels of hunger by including Hank, Marvin, or Hank Marvin in a sentence.
Again, this was a thing in Britain. But considering that Marvin is a repressed gay man, desperate (one might say starving wink, wink) for love, not to mention How Marvin Eats His Breakfast, I find this both funny and fitting.
You know, I kinda wanna see Falsettos get the Wicked treatment (two movies) just to see the non-theater kids suffer even more!
(Cue malicious laughter while rubbing my hands like a cartoon villain)

so i’m trying to make a falsettos timeline and i’ve been looking at weather forecasts from 1979 - 1981 trying to match it to the outfits they’re wearing to figure out the months and stuff like that so um yeah how do I stop
the falsettos protshot on youtube had the view count go up by 4k in one day and that will never not make me happy
Falsettos the musical, Amiright?
Ahem.
Fellow Travelers
The Marvin Trilogy
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Perfect Arrangement
Boys in the Band
Brokeback Mountain
I think the reason why i love and fixate on falsettos so much is because its sung through,,like... There's so many hidden messages, And connections and subtle lore drop......
Missing the falsettos 2016 cast like crazy rn (I didn’t even know what falsettos was in 2016)
