i’m tired of seeing posts saying that releasing proshots of musicals will kill the musical theatre business because it really won’t. it’ll reach a bigger audience that way. folks who have never even considered watching hamilton before it was on disney plus are starting to watch more musicals after seeing it. after watching the proshot of into the woods i’ve never wanted to see it on broadway more. legally blonde is one of my favorite shows because i got to watch it recorded, but i still want to see it performed as a part of the audience. i watch the heathers bo0tleg like three times a week! i still want to see it in person because it’s an experience.
and also, how could i not mention that broadway is an american thing and west end is a UK thing. there are so many other countries out there who don’t have the money or the ability to see big shows. same thing goes for disabled folk who don’t have the ability to go because seating for them is limited and sometimes even nonexistent. i mean, think about it. if someone’s deaf, at home there’s subtitles. if a show doesn’t have seating for people in wheelchairs, there’s a proshot at home they can watch. if someone doesn’t have the money to travel to new york and then purchase tickets to a show, they might have the money to stay home and watch it for 3.99. non-english speakers can have dubs or subs for a famous professionally recorded show.
musical theatre should be for everyone. not just rich able-bodied people.
#yes #whatever this is i like it
tis the season
the worst thing in the world is doing things. the second worst thing in the world is not doing things. how has no one ever come up with a solution for this
It’s just me and my silly little books against the world
OKAY BUT PICTURE THIS!!!!
soc spin-off, right? We get through the whole ice court heist, we’re on our way back to ketterdam. In the book, now is when we get the “I will have you without armour, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.” But we’ve already gotten that scene in the show. Inej is already off on her own journey, and she’s had to come back for the heist. But the point is she (and most likely Kaz as well) have gotten through more character development compared to the books.
Which means that THAT scene will have to be replaced with something BIGGER, a step further into their relationship. I can’t even begin to think what it could be like (no gloves??), but I know it will definitely have me screaming.
But do you know what that means as well? The scene of Van Eck noticing Inej as Kaz’s tell and kidnapping her (which happens right after this) will have ANOTHER whole new level of ANGST, and I’m not sure I can handle it.
I’m going to get my money, Kaz vowed. And I’m going to get my girl.
I’m screaming, I can’t wait.
#back on my leverage kick bc its trending on tumblr??? #im not mad tho
i love the part of leverage where someones like ‘hey nate it seems like youre taking this case really personally’ and hes like ‘no im not im so normal everything is so under control’ and then ten minutes later hes like . in a stolen car chugging from a flask getting shot at by the mafia with cops chasing him
a reminder that we are lucky to have gotten a soc adaptation at all. the books are so perfect that nothing was going to live up to them anyways. if u think of them as separate entities, i promise you’ll enjoy yourself much more!
do you want me. have you wanted me. will you want me. when will you want me
Part of the reason why the leverage crew works so well together is because they are all varying degrees of theater kids but only Sophie is willing to admit it.
thinking about this moment again:
particularly in regards to this conversation:
thinking about inej, who is actively dying, asking kaz for an apology. inej, whose native tongue leaves no room for triviality here. this isn’t “you were mean to me and you need to make nice,” it’s so much deeper.
this is “promise me you won’t treat me like a piece in your chess game again. promise me you won’t keep acting like i’m replaceable. promise me i’m not just another one of your investments.”
this is the first time we see inej holding kaz accountable, the first time we see her ask him to be more, to do better. this is the precursor to the “without armor” conversation. and i think it’s fitting that we never hear whether or not kaz did apologize. because at this point, i don’t think he’s ready to give inej what she’s really asking for here, and in a way, it’s best that she doesn’t hear him say the words. he’s not ready to mean them yet.
I'm a simple girl; I see disaster characters who are simultaneously dorks and I bring out the adoption papers
