[Schedule] [FAQ] [Answered asks] [Got a question? Ask the Crew!]

Ever wanted to know what slang words musical cast and crew are using, and what they mean? ✨ Fear not, mod Anna has you covered! 

Let us drop some knowledge and fill you in!

♪ Mugging

“Mugging” is when an actor’s expression feels inauthentic, like for example if they’re meant to be in love with another character, but it just doesn’t feel quite right.

♪ Thank You Five!

“Thank You Five” is a term commonly used in the theatre, although the number isn’t always the same. When one of the crew or another actor tells you you have five minutes until places, you respond, “thank you five!” to acknowledge that you heard and know how much time you have left to get ready to go on stage.

♪ Going Up

“Going Up” is what happens when a line has completely and totally escaped you, and your mind is a complete blank onstage.

Hey everyone! ✨ 

We hope you’re as excited as we are to see what our fabulous cast has in store for you! ✨ Production period is underway! Everyone is rehearsing their pieces and working hard to give you the best performance!

But in the meantime, can we entertain you with some sweet Musical Curiosities? 

♪ Les Miserables – The eternal Revolution

An audience of 60 million people, 42 countries, 22 languages, 96 international awards, 30 years of worldwide performances, 125 thousand audience members for a live performance in Sydney in 1989. These are just some of the record numbers for Les Miserables, one of the longest-running stage musicals, based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo. After the initial success of the original production in Paris, the musical came to the attention of producer Cameron Mackintosh, who decided to make an English-language version. It has been running continuously since 1985 in the West End in London while on Broadway it won 8 Tony Awards and ran from 1987 to 2003 and then again from 2006 to 2008. It is, quite simply, an eternal success.

♪ Grease – It could have been Leia and Fonzie

Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta were not the producers’ first choice. Carrie Fisher, Star Wars Princess Leia, was considered for Sandy’s role, while Henry Wrinkler, who played Fonzie on Happy Days, was almost cast as Danny – however, Wrinkler declined and then Travolta signed on.  

♪ La La Land - Another Day Of Sun… and wind!

The opening scene, set on a Los Angeles freeway, includes a hundred dancers. The dance moves were first rehearsed in a parking lot while director Damien Chazelle filmed the performance on his iPhone, in order to plan the sequence and every camera frame down to the last detail, with the help of a model and tiny cars. When the actual day of the shoot rolled around, though, it was 38°C/100.4°F and the winds were so strong production designer David Wasco feared someone might fall off the freeway ramp and get killed.

Rules: Answer the questions and then tag 9 people you want to get to know better.

Q1: Relationship Status?

Single

Q2: Favorite Color?

Orange

Q3: Top 3 Ships?

Hmmm, I’m not a huge shipper by any stretch of the imagination, but, uh. Um. IDK! I can find myself shipping pretty much anything so long as it’s well-written enough ^^’ 

Q4: Lipstick or Chapstick

Chapstick. Hands down. I very rarely use makeup of any kind, and I hate to have chapped lips, so! Chapstick. 

Q5: Last song you listened to?

Hög - Darin. It’s a Swedish song, and it’s pretty good! XD

Q6: Last movie you watched?

Deadpool! They showed it on TV last night, so I obviously stayed up to watch it. It’s awesome ^^

Q1: Relationship Status?

Single.

Q2: Favorite Color?

Red, blue, or green.

Q3: Top 3 Ships?

Almost all of them, as long as they’re well-written, and make sense to me, I can get behind pretty much everything. I’m currently reading a lot of Sesshōmaru/Kagome though.

Q4: Chapstick or Lipstick?

I really like red lipstick, but I’m mostly wearing chapstick for everyday. So chapstick, I guess.

Q5: Last Song You Listened To?

Collide by Howie Day (the acoustic version). I tried out the Soft Rock playlist on Spotify. It’s nice.

Q6: Last Movie You Watched?

Isn’t It Romantic - it’s hilarious and I loved every moment of it. Also has a great message.

Q. 1: Relationship Status?

Complicated. In that, I was dating someone, it turned very long distance, now we barely talk, but we haven’t officially broken up. [facepalms]

Q. 2: Favorite Color?

Purple, Black, White, Grey, Silver, Blue. Cannot pick one.

Q. 3: Top Three Ships?

Yikes. I’m a multishipper, so this is hard. Uh, I’ll go with my favs in the main fandoms I’ve written for, I suppose?

KHR: X27, 8018, Trinisette Trio

FFXV: Ardynoct, Ignoct, Ravus/Ignis (and promnis and gladnis and promtio polyshiproadtrip)

Bleach: UraIchi, GrimmIchi (an old flame that got rekindled thanks to @askerian ’s gorgeous writing), Shinji/Ichigo

I’d have offered up ships for One Piece, except I don’t read ships for that. 😅

Q. 4: Lipstick or chapstick?

…how exactly am I supposed to pick. I hate chapped lips, but I’m a compulsive lipstick hoarder. Both? Both. [nods]

Q. 5: Last Song You Listened To?

Uh. Hm. iPad, why are you at home… It was something by BTS, that’s for sure. And it was something by Coldplay before that.

Q. 6: Last Movie You Watched?

Last full movie? Captain Marvel. I’ve seen like half of La La Land since then, oh, and like a third of Battle Angel Alita. I’m currently watching Umbrella Academy.

Committed 😍

2: Favorite Color

Black. Red. Violet.

3: Top 3 Ships

Changes all the time. Currently, it’s Steve/Bucky (Marvel), Yuuri/Viktor (Yuri on Ice), Kuroko/Aomine (Kuroko no Basuke)

4: Lipstick or Chapstick

Well. Answer is ideally chapstick because my lips are so dry, one split this morning when I smiled. But honestly, I forget to put it on. So neither, I guess.

5: Last song you listened to

Sexyback - Justin Timberlake

The lyrics are relevant to my relationship

6: Last movie you watched

Captain Marvel. Twice.

Gonna watch another movie today tho

1. Relationship status

Engaged 💍

2. Favourite colour

Pink 💖

3. Top three ships

If we’re talking of all time? Yuuri x Victor, Lucy x Loki, Phantom x Christine buttttt I haven’t read for the last two in a while 🙈

4. Lipstick or chapstick

Everyday? Lipchap. But my lipstick collection is two make up bags large 🙊

5. Last song you listened to

Wait for it - Hamilton

6. Last movie watched

Is it sad I don’t remember the last movie I watched cause it’s been too long? The last movie I saw in theatres was avengers infinity wars (yeah it’s been a while) and just in general? I think it was love never dies with @littledancer8-writes and tone 😂

“Clearly this is a mistake. Why else would there be roses on my desk?” A detective AU inspired by Brooklyn Nine-Nine where Yuuri is clueless and Victor is smitten. Read the story here.
