bugs and webs -A-MAZE AMAZE AMAZE!-

changed lyrics in you tied up my heart (and all the songs). i do think the lyrics were the weakest part of the original (and most hatchetfield shows tbh).

bill hugging alice in not your seed. hoooooly shit. the woodwards are my everything

in inevitable, during the show stopping number segment, everyone just gesturing to emma, the spotlight hitting her and her seeing the audience... LITERAL CHILLS

paul doing the grace chasity twirl at the beginning of inevitable

watching pete get infected...

ruth, max, frank pricely, and barry swift being in la dee da da day

also the bit after la dee da da day where they exit saying random actor things was HILARIOUS

new trash tattoo bit

the bit before show stoppin number where ted and emma try to get hidgens to not play the piano

all the new choreography, especially let it out, show me your hands, la dee da da day, and tied up my heart. James Tolbert absolutely cooked with this one. should I do a choreo analysis as a novice choreographer? maybe i should

THE GIRLS HANDING BILL THE GUN AT THE END OF NOT YOUR SEED. CHILLS LITERAL CHILLS

BILL FULLY BITCH-SLAPPING TED WAS HILARIOUS

The original reflected Paul's infection through numerous dance moves that were very clearly reading musical theatre; But he was doing them on his own. (The Hivemind standing rather still and waiting) This time? The way the hive mind synchronises - or he synchronises with them as the spores take hold? I'm fascinated.

for Inevitable, Emma doesn't have a spotlight on her until the end. because until the end, the point is that Emma's alone now. only Paul gets a spotlight, it's Paul's song, Paul is the focus, Paul is being celebrated. Emma's fear, her attempts to escape, don't matter, she doesn't need to be lit. Paul's corpse basks in the light, flaunting how separated they are now, while Emma runs and screams in the shadows. Emma's not part of the show, Paul is.
