Jordan Fisher Christian… I fear this might actually make me post again

so Derek left again now what

I can’t express how happy I am I got to see The Outsiders a few shows before the Tony’s—that energy in the building, the full cast, and the passion onstage was insane. Now I look at the ticket prices and go oh wow! Guess that’s never happening again!

JOJO AND AARON BACK AT THE ROUGE… this is so funny they truly have Aaron ready to call up whenever they want, excited to see more of this pairing because WOW that surprise JoJo and Aaron performance was something

I just wanna talk a bit about how powerful the choreo/blocking, lighting, and sound work in tandem in this show, especially in the scenes with any violence. Like there is no good way to describe it without seeing it, but everything is so purposeful and makes you really feel every punch or slap. When Pony gets knocked unconscious you have to sit with it for a second, you hear the ringing of his ears, it makes you feel its weight. Time slows down as the actors movements are in slow motion. It’s seen again during the second fight in such a powerful way I wish I could accurately describe. Or whenever stars or trees are projected on the back of the stage. Or the shutter film sound effects and grainy film projections whenever we go into Pony’s narrative dialogue. It’s all so detailed and really set on making you take in everything you are being told and shown

I’m so so so proud of everyone in The Outsiders. I knew it was gonna be special when I first heard Great Expectations, and man, it exceeded what I thought it would be still. Seeing it this week was absolutely one of the most impactful theater experiences for me. Passion pours out of every part of this and I could ramble about it for days. It doesn’t feel like your average musical, every detail feels so intentional and the artistic choices absolutely take what could have been just a plain old remake of a story and made it into a new fresh and powerful new way to tell it. LETS GO!!!!!

BEST MUSICAL THATS RIGHT!!!!

oh my god three wins already. lighting. sound. director. OUTSIDERS LETS GO!!!!!

I love the lyrics in Far Away From Tulsa in the background of Run Run Brother. It’s like Pony and Johnny’s thoughts and wishes coming back to haunt them. They got what they wanted, but as a curse instead of a blessing. They’re leaving Tulsa behind for good, living quietly, but it’s not the way they intended whatsoever. And then the echoes of lyrics from Grease Got a Hold in the different context? "You’re a greaser now and you ain’t going back"—it’s no longer you have a family in us and there’s no way you’ll lose it, it’s all they will see you as is a greaser, there’s no other way they’ll be perceived differently because of what took place, and that’s it. There’s no going back to what you knew before or what you wanted. It’s just sooo good

My god The Outsiders cast album. I don’t care if it’s not the perfect show, it is so so good. Like WOW that band and the melodies?? THESE VOICES??? TALENT

apparently there’s already an outsiders audio?? what does a girl gotta do for that🙏
