SADLY I DIDN’T GET A LOT F PHOTOS BECSAUSRE I WANTED TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND (EVEN THOUGH I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE PHJOTOTZS,) WE COULDN’T ANYWAYS BECAUSE WE COULD GET KICKED OUT AND I DIDN’T WANNA RISK THAT!!!

Ok but now getting on to the actual performance, during Deaths At my Door, when Pony says “you’d be better off without me” he pulls pout the switchblade and OPENS IT. That motherfucker was going to KILL HIMSELF. And oh my god, that is just so important to me that they showed that, idk why. But I LOVED that detail!!!!

During Dallas’ death, that started to get me full on SOBBING. And I ended up crying for about the rest of the show after that, it was portrayed SO WELL. (For context, Dally ends up killing himself by jumping onto the train tracks and getting himself hit instead of his original death.) I really liked this change, it makes it more blunt that he killed himself, and I think that it’s just a nice change overall. It’s one of those things that you LOVE but just cant explain. Pony says “We thought that he was gonna catch the train to the next town over, just like he always did. But that’s not what happened.” And after “Little Brother” He says something along their lines of THIS. “I imagined Dally with his shoulders squared and his heels digging into the gravel as he looked towards the oncoming train ahead. I imagine that he must have felt pure again, just for a moment, with that train ahead. They buried what was left of him exactly 27 steps away from Johnny Cade. They didn’t even bother putting when they were born on it. Johnny Cade, 1967. Dallas Winston, 1967. That’s all they read. I like to imagine that some parts of Dally made it back to New York, the last pure parts of him.” WHAT WAS LEFT OF HIM. I LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT SOME PARTS OF DALLY MADE IT BACK TO NY??? THAT PURE PARTS OF HIM??? HELLO??? HOLY SHIT THIS BLOCK OF DIALOGUE GOT MY TEARS FLOWING.

“Do i look like Julie Andrew’s???” -Ponyboy Micheal Curtis

“You know, the funny thing about being unconscious is-“ AND THEN THIS MOTHERFUCKER (ponyboy) GETS KICKED IN THE FACE😭 (this is literally like the first scene when he’s getting JUMPED, btw)

“its a hersheys baaaaaaar…👀👀👀” (dally finds Jonny sitting outside his house while his parents are fighting and offers him something to eat, and johnny declines, and then dally offers that hersheys bar and literally waves it on the side of his arm so he can see)

“EAT SHIT MARCIA”

(They’re about to cut their hair) “Oh yeah, with what?” *johnny flicks out the switchblade he killed bob with* “There’s still blood on it….💔”

“I STOLE ONE OF THEIR HUBCAPS!!!” Two-Bit jumps on top of the car, then he turns around, bends over, and rubs it aaaaalll over his ass it’s the funniest shit EVER😭

How they did the smoke for the burning church scene was SO COOL. They used smoke and orange lights to get that effect, it was soooo cool!!!!

After Johnny and Dally’s deaths, Cherry says that she was volunteering at the hospital and says that no one came to get Johnnys stuff; She found it in the lost in found at the hospital. She said that she believes that Pony should be the one to get Johnny’s stuff. She hands him his shoes and jacket, and when I tell you, he picks up the jacket and HUGS IT AND BURIES HIS FACE IN IT AS HARD AS HE CAN it was the saddest shit EVER. Oh my god the actor who was playing Pony was SO GOOD. (It was Jordan DeAndre Williams!)

“Holy SHIT its Goldielocks and her ugly sister!” -Dally, after seeing Ponyboy and Johnny after they cut, (and in ponyboys case,) bleached his hair.

“I LOVE YOU SUPERMAN!!!”

During “Little Brother,” at the beginning, I believe its Darry, Ace, Steve, Soda, and Two-Bit who go out, and pick up a handful of gravel, stick it out in front of them, and let it fall out of their hands as it falls back to the ground. I really like that for some reason.

During “Far Away From Tulsa,” the entire thing was just really cute. I LOVED it!

During “Justice For Tulsa,” there’s a scene where Darry and Sodapop are being interrogated, and it’s not on the recording. It’s really cool to see! (Same with other songs, i wish that they added these scenes into the cast recording. I dont know why they dont include the mini scenes in the middle of songs!)

The ENTIERTY of “I Could Talk To You All Night” was PERFECT. I loved it!”

Ponyboy ends up getting walked home by Johnny after the drive in scene, and ends up staying long enough to witness Pony getting slapped. But, during the line in “Runs In The Family (Reprise)” when Darry says: ‘eat my food” he points to JOHNNY. As in thats what he does, he doesn’t work, Darry kind of just sees him (in this fit of rage, that is, because i don’t think that he would have said that if he wasn’t,) as a freeloader. He didn’t work for that- Darry did. After he says that, he runs out and Soda runs after him. Johnny ends up coming back in though, and in the show it’s actually Johnny who ends up saying that they need to leave instead of Ponyboy.

“FIVE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FOUR FUCKING PAGES!? That’d take me like…ten years to read….” -Sodapop

“Oh…i usually dream of flying sauces and hamburgers….” -Sodapop, once again🥹
