Personal notes

-The Narrator and the Mysterious man being played by different actors was not something I thought of before and I'm kinda glad Sondheim and Lapine changed that. No reason why tho.

-the father, stepmother, and steward not being with Florinda and Lucinda Oh my stars.

-The Giantess looks genuinely horrifying

-"What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't suffer" AAAAAA BAKER'S WIFE PLEASEEEEEE

-Mr. Baker why is Little Red taller than you

-Little Red telling directly to Cinderella "I think he's asking you to go back with him" because she's aware that both Cinderella and Baker don't understand shit about romance 😭

-CINDERELLA AND BAKER KISS AAAAA I LOVE THEM SO (sorry folks I just AAAAA I love them so much) though I enjoy them, I feel like they would take five years to get together. Slowass burn

-Children Will Listen is not the finale song but I believe it was mixed back in act 1 with Second Midnight, but it was later cut (obv. I'll post the original second midnight soon) Instead it's a little It Takes Two reprise

-Jack's "Excuse me" is so sassy I love him (stereotypes are harmful but FUCKIN LOOK AT HIM)

-I ADORE how one of the Witch's beans grew into a stalk at the end with the Mysterious Man pointing it out and the main four running to it and pulling it out the ground before it grew any farther ehehe

How they both got to see the outside world before they can process anything else. How they both mention that nice is different from Good. That the Witch likely sees herself in Little Red.

Pointing at her with "broke a little vow" which they both did. When the Witch asks Little Red "when was she so squeamish" she probably saw herself in the girl.

AAAAAAAAA I FUCKIN LOVE THIS VERSION I WISH THEY DIDN'T CUT IT

but I get why they had to cut it as it would be weird if the characters learnt the lesson in the middle of act 1. But still.

Reasons why I adore this version is that we get more insight on the parents and the children's perspective on each other as roles. Also that they acknowledge they ALL HAVE FATHER ISSUES THANK YOU

What if you adopt the village.

Happy Little Women Month

If you like Harry Potter but don't want to support J.K. Rowling, WATCH A VERY POTTER MUSICAL.

AVPM is completely separate from J.K.R. and the Warner Brothers. It's a musical written by some college students in 2009. AVPM has a wonderful queer romance, great music, and is made by creators who openly support trans people. They have also made two sequels which are equally good, if not better (A Very Potter Sequel and A Very Potter Senior Year). Darren Criss stars as Harry Potter. This was before he joined Glee or became a celebrity. The group that wrote, produced, and acted in it are called Starkid, and they still make musicals to this day, posting them in full length on YouTube for free!

plus, just look at these skrinkly skrunkos :)
