#bwaycon

bailey ford, jennifer ashley tepper, and gerard canonico were there, as well as some fans whose full names i dont recall off the top of my head (i do remember that one was a great fanartist named nicole who gave out exclusive prints and another was in great beetlejuice cosplay)

somebody asked about ideas for character futures which gave us some rlly sweet concepts:

bailey’s favorite was brooke so she talked about how she can see brooke going to a nice college and eventually falling in love and having a lot of kids which was sweet

jen sees christine as becoming a theater teacher and dating a lot of musicians

gerard said rich probably has to miss out on school for a while due to his injuries from the fire, and might not get to college and such, but down the line sees him reconnecting with brooke, apparently he really likes that ship

(in response somebody shouted WHAT ABOUT MICHAEL and i was scared of an impending ship war but gerard calmly explained that he’d thought about it and he doesn’t see michael/rich as really working in the long run, which is valid, though he clarified george is a great friend lol)

other proposed headcanons under this topic: michael goes to community college before he goes away, and becomes a passionate music mixer / dj. they also discussed jake living in foster care for a bit after his house burned. 

they talked about some stage mishaps, such as britton using the wrong prop and spilling mountain dew red on the stage, and that time gerard!jeremy sweat out his mic and joel!scary stockboy surprised him by spraying air into his face to clear it up.

the bmc team apparently has seen that wiki page with all the weird ship names in the fandom and they love how many options are listed out. they were like “chloe and madeline??? sure why not!”

they discussed whether the squip was truly a villain or not and basically settled upon that it is more about adapting and widening its goals and operating system and such than typically purely malicious “take over the world” stuff. but still definitely antagonistic.

somebody asked about the bmc dating sim and they havent heard of it and it surprised them that it existed lol

they debated the two river cast album vs the bway one but they like both in different ways. though gerard prefers the original “halloween” bc of the bass line.

gerard talked about how hard it was to sing “loser geek whatever” because of how it’s catered towards wrol’s specifically high voice

idk how common knowledge this is but gerard’s mall character is named troy (named long before troy iwata got involved) and originally george’s character carl would offer to buy him things, eventually they tried all sorts of different routines every night (such as speaking in made up languages). one time george hurt his ankle and talked about it to gerard during the mall scene and gerard thought it was in character and acted back like “oh are you hurt sweetie?” but felt mortified when he realized george was being serious dshgjfhgf

again idk if this is common knowledge or not but gerard’s squip is robert downey jr and somebody got him a giant cutout of RDJ that stayed in his dressing room for the entire run.

they almost put the beanie babies subplot from the book into the show and i am dying to know how that would have worked out

Hey Darlings!

So this weekend I was lucky enough to get tickets for Broadway Con in NYC this weekend! I'll be going on Saturday, as Lydia, arriving around 10:30-11:00 for the Beetlejuice panel and SIX sing along.

Anyways, my point being; I'm looking for some Beetlejuice cosplayers (or Delia, Juno, or Miss Argentina cosplayers) to meet up with and get some pictures!
