notable be more chill moments (7/15/19)
i haven’t been in the bmc fandom in a couple of years, but i finally got to see it on broadway today!! i haven’t been following the show too closely since the exit 82 run, so here are some fun little things that happened that surprised me (aka, were different from the original off-broadway run!)
the set is gorgeous! much more complex than the original
canon bi jeremy?? (”hhh girls!! BOYS!!” in more than survive’s instrumental break)
christine was adorable. i understand why jeremy was in love with her
THE BACKGROUND PROJECTIONS!! tpg was super cool bc the projections made it look like they were in a real Bideo Game
gerard was on for jeremy that night! he fit the role surprisingly well (and of course, “don’t touch me, tall-ass!” was changed to “short-ass” for this performance)
he posted that he’d been a little sick on ig i think?? but he didn’t really sound like it, except during some falsetto notes that were a bit raspy
he was v sweaty. like, wet patches appeared on his costume from where he was clutching at it during “loser, geek, or whatever”
gerard had a mic malfunction, it sounded as if something was stuck/caught on his mic, muffling it?? so to remedy this, joel waggoner (on in place of jason sweettooth williams) brought a can of compressed air into the payless scene and did a whole bit where he used the can to intimidate jeremy by spraying him, when in reality he was spraying the mic to clear it up! i didn’t realize this wasn’t a part of the show until i later saw someone who had seen today’s show comment on its unusualness!
