probably been said before but what if the reason Marvin’s background is yellow on the falsettos cover (2016) is because of the ‘the room is yellow’ line
trying to draw whizzer and marvin/ figure out their faces and the best way I can describe them is a soft square (whizzer) and a pointy circle (marvin)
How DOES Marvin eat his breakfast
With HATRED.
…. And eggies over spinach over toast.
evil falsettos be like Likely Haters
Does anyone else have a crush on such a niche character that it doesn’t exist anywhere, like no fanfic, no community to talk about it, etc. bc that’s definitely me with one specific character:
Christian Borle’s Emmett Forrest
Like he is just so ridiculously hot and attractive in that role and character, like please I’m in love with him and all I can do is malignantly daydream about it and listen to the legally blonde musical on Spotify
marvin unironically saying “you’re looking sweeter than a donut” is insane
Two truths and a lie:
“Do you know how great my life is?”
“Do you know all I want is you?”
“Everything will be alright!”
then I start violently sobbing
Can you just imagine. Marvin and Whizzer. They're back together. There's no more of that raw aggression, there's cheeky jabs and jokes. The passion isn't the fighting, it's the time spent together. They've probably learned to talk together. They're sincere, they're open with their feelings, they're in love
Then AIDS
hey here are some theories I made (to my knowledge, if you have a similar one feel free to compare :) ), copied from my notes app:
Four Jews and March of the Falsettos are from the perspective of Trina / are inside Trina’s head:
In both songs, the men are being immature, wearing costumes, and have very repetitive lyrics (“Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch // funny, funny, funny, funny” and (“March, march, march of the Falsettos, March of the Falsettos”). Jason is portrayed as helpless/ needing Trina’s help (“In case of smoke please call our mothers on the phone…” and the covering of his eyes in MOTF, showing he is blind (or Trina what perceives him as) to the ‘struggles’/ problems in the family.
Marvin faked the STD’s (Love is Blind)
In In Trousers, Marvin, by Trina (or ‘Marvin’s Wife’, as she is referred to then), says “We lay in bed, he plays dead” so he doesn’t have time to have s3x with/ humour Trina.
In Love is Blind (MOTF), Marvin is said (again, by Trina, but also Marvin this time) to have syphillis and hepatitis, but in a following line she says “Which appears now… [hepatitis and syphillis are] …well forgotten” meaning that Trina herself never had them.
Now, that could be because Marvin used it to not have s3x in the first place, or that they did have s3x, and he used it as an excuse after to not do it again (going off of the line “I am probably diseased”). So, that means 1; that Trina never certainly knew that she had an STD (or two), or 2; she either didn’t go to the doctor, which doesn’t seem like, as they’re all described as neurotic — prone to worrying (especially considering my previous theory; Four Jews went on inside Trina’s head, the men say “we’re neurotic”, showing she also considers herself neurotic too). And so if she did go to the doctor, they didn’t find anything, because she isn’t certain. The doctors probably said to forget about it, or that’s how she interpreted her words, so she still had the inkling, but not the confirmation.
Chess — Whizzer; Queen to King
Whizzer is portrayed to resemble the queen when he and Marvin play chess, saying “I fear I’ve lost my head” used as an execution method for royalty (moreso queens), and picking up the queen instead of a pawn (this is important in my opinion because he could’ve picked up any other piece; a bishop, a rook, a knight, or even the king. I find it interesting that it was the Queen specifically).
Another thing to mention is that Whizzer is shown as the narrator (moreso in MOTF) and less of the family. He moves around the most, narrating in places that he isn’t physically in, instead metaphorically to narrate to the audience. A similarity to the Queen in chess; moving anywhere on the board, in any direction (besides the knight).
However, in act 2, when Whizzer falls ill, he stays on the hospital bed; in the hospital; in one place. In his solo (“You Gotta Die Sometime”), he moves from the bed, yes, into the chair; one square on the board. Like the King.
Cool thing I also found: in “The Chess Game”, Whizzer moves his h2 pawn to h4 and Marvin moves his h7 pawn to h5 :)
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 VILLAIN FANDOM WIKI FOR MARVIN IS DRIVING ME INSANE WHO PUT ALL THIS
I physically can not listen to whizzer going down without thinking that marvin randomly screamed at the top of his lungs while whizzer was blowing him
People on Pinterest be acting like crediting artists is the hardest task known to MAN.
NORMALIZE GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. It is nOT that hard 💔
The instrumental break at the end of Thrill Of First Love is prime material for ballet. send tweet
Since we're back here, can we get this revival back too?
Side note, I think this is the most serious, emotional, and opinionated I've ever seen Christian be.
My mother can’t watch act 2 of falsettos because it upsets her so much; oddly, I think one of the reasons I’ve fallen in love with this show is because it is so sad. Falsettos is a story that is disgustingly human, and that includes awful decisions, and bad situations, and even death. But there’s also love, there is so much love and something about that is so beautiful
yo do not mess with the book of mormon fandom
there's like five of us but we're strong
Sigh
I wish andrew rannells would come to *my* local mall and solve homophobia...
When I get a boyfriend, I’m taking him to Ikea so we can sing The Thrill of First Love while pretending to be a toxic gay couple
Whizzer is the type of person who will not check the sizes on anything whilst thrifting, and just buy anything he likes,(or force marvin to buy anything he likes) and when he gets home and something doesnt perfectly fit him as if its tailored for his body, he'll get pissed and take it out on marvin by placing things he needs where he can't reach them, trust this is fact 💖💖
watching falsettos again. sorry for being a theatre kid on main
I have looked and will continue looking everywhere but does anyone have the sheet music to Marvin’s Final Words from How America was Discovered and/or the reprise
thank you
OH MY GOD ITS ACTUALLY OFFICIAL
autistics vs hyperfixating on musicals that end of having the two main leads fall in love knowing it wont last forever
blair pfaff is just whizzer if he dressed like marvin
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
