(ALMOST) EVERYTHING I NOTICED FROM BAC BMC
NOTE: spot check me!
It was the Two Rivers script, but I still haven't read the whole Two Rivers script so if I mention something I noticed thatās actually just⦠in the script⦠lmk!
Also: if you also saw the BAC production (or if you are the BAC people???) and I missed something, let me know!!! Literally anything at all I will put it here Iād love to approach comprehensiveness!!
ALSO: Spoilers! If you plan on going to Jakeās Halloween Party maybe wait? Or donāt!!
CHARACTERS
Madeline
Putting Madeline here because the first thing I noticed in the whole show is sheās ACTUALLY A FRANCOPHILE and itās so funny ldksjfjsfksdlf. She wears a beret, and people put on a stereotypical French accent whenever they quote her djslkfjsfkfds And during the play backstage someone (I think Chloe?) runs up to her, smacks her beret off and yells āYouāre not French!ā
Jeremy
OH oh oh oh oh. Bac Jeremy my belovedā¦. I swear like 30% of Christineās autism was generously donated to Jeremy for this production jlkdsfjdls
He has this habit where heāll put his hands in his cardigan pockets and push his them around in front of him or on his body to feel the tension of the jacket stretching. Patrick said this quirk was based on a neurodivergent kid he knows. I donāt have photo evidence and IDK how to describe it perfectly but i did draw it here (x).Ā It wasn't exactly like that though OTL
He does it whenever heās nervous (so almost CONSTANTLY) up until BMC P.1 when the SQUIP tells him to take his hands out of his pockets. During that song you can see him trying to put his hands back safe in his pockets but afterwards he never does it again, even after The Play. He also doesnāt do it when heās with Michael, even at the beginning, so I take it to mean it goes away when heās comfortable.Ā
I think he flinches and cowers a lot (compared to other Jeremys, that is). Whenever Rich surprises him, Jeremy jumps and protectively throws his arms over his face. I think he reacts similarly to other people a few times - I donāt remember when exactly though⦠Thereās also several times where heāll stand totally petrified out of fear, like when Rich is writing āboyfā or when Chloeās coming onto him. By all of this I basically mean itās really obvious heās been physically abused (presumably by Rich).
Just in general, his freakouts are very physical, heāll kinda do these stiff arm movements or cover his face in his elbow etc. Off the top of my head this happens during Upgrade and also at the end of The Play when Christineās singing to him.
All this to say he has a very very visible physicality to his awkwardness and I love it. I donāt just mean that on a character acting level, I also mean like if youāre sitting behind him in class your attention will actively be caught by his awkwardness.Ā
He also has a deeper register which he uses mostly in a joke context? He used it in normal conversation a few times too, I think more towards the end.
I noticed him standing just a little pigeon-toed near the beginning. I donāt know if this carried through the whole thing though.
Clothes: his cardigan is blackish with a blue outline, and he wears it over a green shirt with a question mark (I perceived it as a Gravity Falls shirt but might be wrong). The eminem shirt is black and I dont remember what he wears it withā¦. At the party he has a cyborg shirt and a visor, and after the party he has a white shirt with a flannel and khakis (or maybe light corduroys). In VIMH he has another fandom shirt on but I donāt remember what it was sorry it was 11pm ljfsdlkfjdslkfs
Its so obvious Iām a Jeremy stan this entry is the largest one sorry š§
Mr. Heere
He seemed less depressed and more just out of touch in this one? During Two Player Game, he seems decently chipper, if annoyed, though of course heās still unable to dress himself and unwilling to put genuine effort in with his son.Ā
When he says āGood talkā he gives Jeremy a friendly shoulder punch. Right before Pants Song, as usual, he says āI could ground you!ā Jeremy says āI donāt think you could,ā and gives his dad the same shoulder punch while saying āGood talk.ā AAAAAAH.
Michael
He seemed less frenetic and anxious than the Troy!Michael Iām used to (sorry thatās my only reference for Michael lol).Ā
He was generally loud and exuberant. A very excitable but down-to-earth Michael.Ā
MITB was amazing. I was nervous because itās obviously (obviously) the best song so thereās a lot of pressure but no it was done perfectly. Sad as fuck. Perhaps moreso because this Michael was especially normal until now. (Also because pre-MITB Jeremy was extra mean in this production)
For some reason, I found it easier to picture this Michael being a childhood & school friend? Maybe just because this production seriously pulled my psyche straight back to highschool in a way the others havenāt been able to lol.Ā
I maybe got the sense that heās really trying to act like he doesnāt care as much about Jeremy as he does.Ā
BTW Iām obsessed with the fact that his idea of a creeper costume is a mask and a shirt that just says creeps on it. I know thatās kinda textual at this point but taken together with the mask its lkesdjfsdjflksdf
Christine
Amazing ballet (?) choreography going on during her intro. I think that might be standard Christine choreo but still! Stunning.
I could actually picture her as an averagely popular girl in this one? Not sure why. Maybe more nervous in her relationships but more confident in other contexts, but I could be pulling that out of my ass.Ā
I could also be thinking this because she has cool hair (space buns!) and likes Taylor Swift in this one.Ā
Some of her songs had these really melancholy notes where I didnāt expect them - particularly in GTIKBI Reprise (/pos! I was like oh shit!!! every time)
Rich
He has painted nails! Theyāre black.Ā
He had fruity energy the whole time but it got progressively more intense. No I canāt elaborate actually I donāt know why I perceived it like this but I did sldjkfsf
After he comes out it gets more explicit; he starts wearing a pink headband in VIMH (he also gains glasses I think? Unless theyāre still Michaelās) and during bows he flashed a paper fan that had the gay flag inside.Ā
IMO, it was implied that the house fire was a suicide attempt. I say this for purely textual reasons -Ā because he doesnāt mention trying getting the SQUIP out of his head, and because Jeremyās SQUIP later implies it was a suicide attempt. But his behavior around the fire - looking dazed while rhythmically flicking a lighter - could also indicate squipzophrenia. (Maybe itās the same amount of implied as usual - To be fair, Iāve never really understood why Rich set a fire in the first placeā¦)
Brooke
Very wholesome and I love her. IDK Broadway Brooke is very campy, and BAC Brooke is more like a normal sweet girl but maybe thatās just meĀ
Compared to Broadway, way more respectful of Jeremyās space. She doesnāt really try to physically seduce him in upgrade instead they just have a cute lil conversation. Also when she tells Jeremy she got cheated on, she doesnāt initiate contact by petting his hair (like in Broadway) - instead the roles are reversed and they hold hands comfortingly, and Jeremy is the one to escalate that by rubbing her hand in a slightly forward way.Ā
Her French was awful!!! sdjkfldjsfkdsf It was the whole time but Tres Magnifique = "Trays Mag-nuh-Fike" is the one that really killed me
Chloe
Not to be backhanded⦠but she was really good at being a bitch??? Especially the scene where sheās giving Christine advice
Maybe closetedly wlw based on the delivery of āI like gay peopleā and the events of The Play??
The Chloe Jenna friendship intrigues me so much⦠whatās going on thereā¦
JennaĀ
Sadder than Broadway Jennaā¦Ā
When Chloe mentions her in play rehearsal she jumps up from across the room and says āIām here!!ā to no reaction.
Later in Smartphone Hour - Ā J: ā....because you are my closest friend-ā C: āNo Iām notā J: āYeah I knowā¦.ā Jenna sounds kinda genuinely bummed lol. Either she wasnāt expecting that or sheās *very* aware of it and itās making her sad. My impression was more the latter.
During VIMH sheās wearing a sweater thatās colored like the lesbian flag??? (EDIT: the actor, Diana, said this was intentional and her Jenna is a lesbian!)
Idk idk actor so good she made me care so much more about Jenna dsfljdf
Jake
Maybe a touch more upfront about the fact that he feels a lot of pressure in his life
He was dumb <3
Mrs. Reyes
Sheās a woman in this one!
She has a hippie thing going on i think?? Like a boho mom (affectionate)
Pronounces Reyes with a (several second long) rolled R at the beginning
Doesnāt do the stiff announcer-like angle that the broadway guy does. Her comedy is more crazy cat ladyish
The hot pocket breaks were preceded by an actual alarm sound I think???? bonkers fkljd
Ensemble
BIG ENSEMBLE WAS SO FUNā¦. They had so many funny bits going on in the background it was soooo good and another reason I wish I could watch it over and over because I couldnāt be paying attention to everything at once OTL
Scene by scene
Organized by song, but scene notes are in there too!
More Than Survive
"Madeline was all like-" *bad french accent* "ohohoho, I'll only sleep with you if you beat me at ze pool~"
āOh my god he is like totally getting off on thatā ā right before this Jeremy starts pointing at them awkwardly from a distance, I think in an attempt to get to his locker??Ā
āI like gay peopleā - the way Chloe says this is kinda like āidk what the big deal is because *i* think gay people are soooo neatā which got a lot of audience laugh. I think she was talking to Jenna but I donāt rememberĀ
āI donāt wanna be a ballerā (or whenever the class scene is) - Jeremyās sitting in the back of class and everyone turns to throw paper balls at him. I was like oh my god heās being genuinely bullied so hard in this oneā¦. Then again maybe thatās just how he feels?
Thereās this awesome chair choreo at the end where everyoneās laying down chairs in front of Jeremy for him to walk on and taking them away from the back to put back in the front as he makes his way downstage.
Scene: Michael's "You don't have to do this!" kind of came across as a shout of protest. (But of course still tempered with, "of course i'll make fun of you forever if you don't)
Play Rehearsal
"This is where you meet for the swim team" --- Instead of looking confused, Jeremy immediately acts like ok byeee - he might be eager to back out of the conversation and/or immediately accepts her answer as literal and wants to leave asap out of embarrassment.
āI also have a touch of ADDā - she trails off and stands there kind of in a daze for a moment, before remembering that sheās in the middle of a song.Ā
āAnd can I mention that was really one of my best roles, DID YOU SEE THAT?!" She shouts this very proudly. And after her 'do you find that?' bit she doesnāt give Jeremy time to even try to respond, so itās a little less rude lol.Ā
Jeremy was very anxious, and somewhat in a bad way? As in the exchange was a bit off-putting to him.
Scene: āthank god the popular kids are hereā - there are SO MANY kids entering. Iām not sure what to make of it! Popular as in everyoneās popular compared to Jeremy and Christine? Or is this a whole clique? Or is Reyes just talking about the popular kids and the other guys also just show up?Ā
Mrs. Reyes: ~"Our funds will be diverted. To the frisbee golf team. What even is frisbee golf?" Across the room, Jake holds up a frisbee and silently points at it, trying to get Reyes' attention. She doesn't notice.
After scene: Jakeās āpressure to be the best at everythingā is said very genuinely, not for laughs at his arrogance which is how I usually read it
Squip Song
Rich actor KILLED it just gotta put that out there
āSo itās likeā¦.ā Jeremy takes an extended moment to walk to the edge of the stall and look behind to make sure nobodyās there - ā...drugs?ā
In the end of the song, Rich rubs his dirty hands all over Jeremy's arm.
The Squip Enters
Scene: Payless: āWolverineā was great djklsfjdsf Iāve never thought about him before. (It was also the actorās birthday!) When they enter heās playing the knife-finger game. He threatens Jeremy with the knife at some point (either ā400 dollarsā or āall sales are final!ā I think?). I canāt really describe the character acting but he was very entertainingly unhinged. He's called āScary Stockboyā in the script & playbill and I thought that was a misnomer until the scene happened lmao. No that was accurate.Ā
Scene: when they enter the food court thereās like a photo of a mall food court on the back wall but not from the perspective of the scene at all it was like a background that abstractly tells you where you are?? As someone who loves kitsch I enjoyed this, it happens with a few other scenes tooĀ
Thereās a couple making out obnoxiously at the mall that someone (I think it was Michael?) had to step over to get to the table. I think they had some great thematically relevant background acting in this scene but I cannot remember it exactly I am so sorry OTL
Michael is buying Ecto-Cooler!Ā It tastes like ghosts.
Jeremy āmourns in his chili friesā by laying his head down on the table. Jake and Christine sit at the table together without noticing him. Then Jeremy pops up and they have the usual exchange (āI didnāt see you!ā āYeah, youāre kind of hard to noticeā). I thought that was a really neat staging!! And it makes more sense why he even tries to talk to her in this scene lol
Mild discomfort - The first half Jeremy just stands next to the table and kinda screams in pain. Then the second half he falls to the ground and is thrashing, again mostly just in pain. (Pretty sure thatās how every production goes but I think the intensity of the spasming is pretty variable so Iām describing it here)
When the SQUIP first appears, he offers to appear as Kermit the Frog, Barack Obama, and Gilbert Gottfried, and does a little impression for each one:
The imitations the Squip does are as follows: Kermit the Frog āhi ho Kermit the frog here, weāre gonna fix your life Yayyyyyā, Obama āMy fellow Squip, if sync up we can change this loserā and Gilbert Gottfried āSo Grandma and the dog are on the tableā¦ā - Courtesy of director Chris Guell because I couldn't remember them OTL (thank you!!!)
Also in the middle of this Jeremy says "That's a terrible Obama impression..."
Be more Chill p.1
Brooke and Chloe are shopping on the upstage side of the clothes rack; when Jeremy picks out the girls shirt, Brooke appears through the gap in the clothes and surprises him.
After the song, one of the ensemble steals the clothes rack and the mall cop chases him off stage in a very cartoonishly stiff sprint.
Do you wanna ride?
After the first rejection, Brooke goes to Chloe, who points out the satchel she has belted around her waist. As she starts to sing again she slowly unbuckles it and holds it behind her back.Ā
Jeremy is very into it by the end and the girls have him dancing along with the music. I think you can see that in one of the promo videos too :P
Be More Chill p.2
Scene: When Jeremyās going to bed after the mall, instead of sleepily singing, he uses a silly deep voice to say something like āyeah be more chill iām gonna be more chill iām gonna be so chill that ice is relatively warmā
After Rich talks to Jeremy (āhey, tallass, whereās my money?ā and then they sync up) he spots a girl across the stage and yells āHey, whereās my money?ā then chases her down the hall.Ā
Guy that Iād Kinda be Into
Scene: during the rehearsal - JR: "Bring me patient zero!" Then Chloe, sitting on the ground, looks through her script for like 45 seconds until finding her line: "Cough!"
At āIāve been activating your pheromonesā - Jeremy starts and looks at his armpits, then as the song continues he slowly pulls his arms up to rest behind his head, it was very comedic djflkdsf. He also uses one hand to waft from his armpit before returning to that position.Ā Guy...
I think this is also the scene he uses a script to hide his boner??
They were so cute at the end!!! Just sitting next to each other in rehearsal and kinda leaning in towards each other. Very real very high school.Ā
Upgrade
Scene: While Jeremy and SQUIP argue about Eminem, Brooke is (silently) describing the accident. She mimes hitting a hockey puck, then being impaled in the guts repeatedly.
Instead of literal bleachers (at least visually), Brooke and Jeremy go sit on the top of the stairs that lead off of the stage and into the audience. They kinda playfully walk around the railings and stuff, and at the point in the Broadway version where they start aggressively making out, instead they just sit next to each other and talk and itās very cute :)Ā
Jeremyās freaking the fuck out in the middle and itās so obviously sensory overload auauuauuauaugh. He was like contorting to cover his head in his arms. Guyā¦
Halloween
Brookeās costume is a sexy dalmatian! She has an eyespot and a black and white skirt + other spotty white clothes. Jeremyās cyborg costume only extends to the shirt & a visor. I think it matched with the squipās visor?
THE PROJECTORā¦. On the background was the funniest background it could possibly be it was like a graphic of a cartoon skeleton holding a wooden sign that said āJakeās Halloween Partyā. IDK if thatās a poster he got printed or if itās an extremely camp way of abstractly giving us the setting or what but I WAS LOSING IT SLKDJFKDSJFSDĀ
I WISH I had a picture of it, but in lieu of that I recreated it for you and I swear it was like 95% exactly like this. just projected on the wall behind the stage.
Do you wanna hang?
Right before this scene, thereās a huge group choreo where people dance with partners, and in the last move one partner spins the other one down, who lands on the floor looking up at them. Jeremy ends up on the floor and Chloe walks up and stands over him while inviting him to come with her.Ā
TW - This scene is always sexual assault, but the tone felt especially dark this time ā maybe it was just seeing it live, though.Ā
Jeremyās standing frozen still as the song starts and kind of visibly recoiling as Chloe walks around him. She walks behind him and shoves her hands into his coat pockets, which makes him flinch. Extra upsetting because like I said before I think his coat pockets are kind of a place of safety for him :(((
Pretty sure the SQUIP's Japanese was different from the Broadway. Wasn't sure quite what he said, but it I think it *didnt* include these from the Broadway one: ćč ¹ć空ćć (I'm hungry) and ćē²ćę§ ('pleasure doing business with you,' i think?)
Michael in the Bathroom
Scene: Jeremy seems very shaken after DYWH and sits on the bathtub sadly; when Michael reveals himself Jeremy flips out.
Michael talks about āhis clever disguiseā and makes monster growls (meant as creeper hisses?) - I think with the tone that heās trying to get Jeremy to respond to the joke, or point out the reference or something. When that fails, he starts getting serious.Ā
āGet out of my way, loserā is delivered very confidently.Ā
After Michael says heās on his period, Jenna opens the door a crack to hand him a tampon dsjfkldsjflkdsjf. He throws it in the bathtub later at āIām a creeper in a bathroomā¦.ā
Also of course, heās in a creeper mask lol
Song: WONDERFULLY done. Honestly donāt have much to say it was just great. I get desensitized to that song after hearing it so much, but seeing it live definitely brought a spark to it.
āAnd I look in the mirror and the present is clearerā¦ā section is like the *key* part of this song to me and Connor Introna did it really well. His voice started breaking at mirror, and of course he did the little sob and everything it was just chefs kiss
Guy that Iād Kinda be Into Reprise
When Jeremy asks why Rich didnāt give him a warning and Rich starts saying āwarningā over and over, he says it at a steady rhythm until he gets off stage. Then Jeremy tries to rouse a drunken partier to say āSo that was weirdā¦ā and Richās āWarningā randomly interrupts Jeremy like 3 times to comedic effect before he can get the words out
"Popular people are messed up" - less in response to Rich & more in response to the guy Rich is talking to passing out drunk (iirc)
This is just a 2R things but it hit me so just pointing out she just says āIām not Julietā in this one (rather than weāre not romeo and juliet) and auuauguughghg poor Christine :(
Weird noises: itās kinda like a dinosaur impression in this one? They both go like RAAHH and make claw hands in the air. Then Jeremy stands up and pretends to be driving a car (I think???? lol) and Christine copies him
Christine starts standing up while Jeremyās still asking her out. As soon as he finishes the question she immediately rejects him. That is to say, she saw where this was going and already knew her answer.
After the scene, Rich walks back across the room, flicking a lighter on and off in a daze.Ā
ALSO: Ensemble were very entertaining in the whole party! During this scene there were 3 of them playing spin the bottle downstage left and it had like a whole arc to it sdnjkfdfdsf Also guys passed out on the floor and on the couchĀ
Smartphone Hour
Starts w/ Jenna sitting on the edge of the stage, dangling her legs over the pit.Ā
Brooke is sadly eating Richās loaf of bread. (After she forgives Chloe she passes it to some other actor offstage which I probably wasnāt supposed to see but it was funny lol. communal machete bread)
THE PROJECTORā¦.. Everyone was holding phones and in the background was footage from their front-facing cameras (prerecorded, but it synced pretty well with the live actors). Then you could see the GUI of them typing some of the lyrics (ārich fled to bombay!!ā) into imessage and twitter
AND THEN you see footage of the house burning down on an insta reelā¦. An unremarkable suburban house where you can see flames consuming the roof. This same footage plays on a few peopleās reels, then thereās also footage of firemen coming and putting the fire out and its SO REALISTIC i was losing itĀ
Around āChanged my profile pic to youā it shows a bunch of (presumably) instagram photos of Rich like in his house and at school or wherever and i wont lie it made me feel for him a lot more. They were like actual full staged photos :( like thats a real guy in thereā¦Ā
Pitiful children
Scene: When Jenna asks if the SQUIP is a drug, she does the same extended thing of checking to see that nobodyās watching that Jeremy did in The Squip Song
The Pants Song
Scene: see my notes on Mr. Heere aaaaaauguh
Michaelās sitting on his front steps while smoking weed from a tiny green bong. You can tell itās his front steps because thereās a mailbox next to him labeled MELL BOX in big letters dslkfjdskfjs
Michaelās wearing pants - I think thatās just textually accurate but reporting it anyway
When Mr. Heere comes over (ādo you love him?ā), he puts one leg on the top step and Michael is eye-level with his crotch. Michael has trouble tearing his eyes away. This happens a few times. In my opinion, it made him come off as a lot more high than he usually does lol
If I remember correctly, they get very intense and like shoulder-grabby at one point. Couldāve been a different scene though I dont remember OTL OTL
The Play
Michael comes out of the audience!!! It was cool it was meta lol
PINKBERRY CANON SDLKFJDKLFJKFJLSF. Brooke and Chloe have the Two Rivers dialogue (He didnāt sleep with you? He didnāt sleep with me!) then after Sisters forever! they do these actions to the rhythm of three staccato beats: āJinx!ā *high five(?)* *KISS ON THE LIPS* and instantly pull away. They're extremely normal about it and are just standing there afterwards without moving or acknowledging it.Ā
Despite being in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, Jeremy is dumbstruck and stares at them for a few beats before moving on to the next line. It was amazing. No notes.Ā
Jeremy is horrified when Christine starts singing to him. She walks robotically over to him and speaks kind of like sheās reading off a script (hehehe). Jeremy is backing up against a wall and freaking out almost like heās trying to get away from her. No implication at all that heās tempted.Ā
When everyone starts screaming in pain, Michael is screaming in triumph. (Or at least he looked very triumphant, I donāt remember if he screamed lol)
Voices in My Head
Rich is in a wheelchair. Also he doesn't have a lisp.
Rich is wearing Michaelās glasses. When he starts asking about Michael, Michael shows up and takes his glasses back. I think Rich steals them back at some point too?Ā
Michael acts a lil flirty with Rich - approximately "I'm sure you'll find something very special," then in a tiny high voice: ābut not with meeeeeā¦!ā and he pushes Richās wheelchair so he rolls offstageĀ jdsfkldsfkfd
At āTell her that she excites you sexuallyā Rich does a little wheelie to (presumably) represent a pelvic thrust (all of these Rich moments were excellent I loved this Rich sm)
Christineās squip was Taylor Swift this time!
At āI know the last thing I deserve is another shot, butā¦ā He trails off and thereās a pause before āJust say whatās on your mind, Jeremy.ā I know they get together obviously, but it felt like it could go either way!Ā Maybe because it was live.
(And then they cccccome on lets go and do bows, in character i think, and it was amazing the end)
I was gonna write a TLDR here but honestly all of it was amazing and if you want the highlights itās pretty much just the stuff I bolded!
Also end note the actors were all soooo nice and they let me ramble to them about jeremy for several minutes Q____Q it was amazing im so happy about this still I wish I got their signatures sjdlfkjdsfkdsf
I hope everyone gets to watch the show at some point but otherwise I hope this can be useful to someone!!
