Crew is Life

i’m a simple bitch, i see the use of a turntable on theatre sets, i lose my fucking mind

Look at this! Look at this fucking thing! This was done in 1986, and used absolutely no CGI whatsoever. It was ALL practical, and ALL done through puppetry. Look at the last gif. Over a dozen vines are moving at once along with its head, lips, and tongue! In interviews Rick Moranis has stated he often forgot he was working with a puppet, as opposed to a really ugly guy. Even today it looks so real. Audrey ii is nothing short of miraculous

IM SORRY WHAT

WHAT

It took over 60 puppeteers to operate Audrey II’s final form in the film. You can read more about the puppet’s creation and operation here.

never i repeat never put on time warp at a party unless you want the theatre kids to destroy your house

a bold assumption to think I would allow theatre kids within even 500 feet of my home

*begins waltzing with broom* I could have DAAAAANCED all NIIIIIGHT

*hits broom handle on the ground and tap dances* LOOK AT ME! IM THE KING OF NEW YORK!

*gently places broom against a wall* I’m the belle of the ball in my own little corner!

*broom starts dancing of its own accord* BE. OUR. GUEST!

so apparently musicals have a thing for brooms huh

we all love a sweeping musical number

All I can think is, “It’s too late. You’ve awakened the gazebo.”

Getting friends in to musicals is hard because when they ask what it’s about you have to be like “15 year olds having sex” or “a plant from outer space that takes over the world” or “teenagers killing people for fun” or “Alexander Hamilton”

“7 minorities deal with crushing poverty and the looming specter of death by being a dick to their landlord”

“Sesame Street, but like… for adults”

“This one time in the 1830s a bunch of college students decided to fight the entire French government and…it didn’t go very well.”

“A nun and a retired naval officer fight Nazis with cute kids and the power of song.“

“It’s the Bible by the guy that did Cats. No, no, it’s like…really angry.”

“Cannibalism”

“Newsboys that are super gay, but like, strike for their rights, while being gay.”

“A couple gets divorced but, like, in opposite directions.”

“Hey you know the 1200-page Russian novel War And Peace? Yeah, it’s part of that, with like 16 different genres of music blended together.”

“So it’s about people who were in these planes during 9-11 and ended up being stuck in Canada…but it’s also kinda a comedy…”

*blows a kiss under the stage* for the pit orchestra

*blows a kiss behind the stage* for the run crew

*blows a kiss to the rafters* for the phantom

It haunts me that celebrities are just theater kids that made it
