I'm doing this thing where I have a playlist of musicals that I have not seen or listened to a full cast recording of and the rule is if anyone mentions a musical that fits the brief I have to add it to the playlist.

There are currently 178 musicals on the list; I am at #68

As a system it has flaws; my sister keeps reading out historic Tony nominee lists to me and I accidentally got into a discussion about Andrew Lloyd Webber and created a pocket I'm calling the 'ALW doldrums' of all his less well known (/bad) work.

If tumblr would like to suggest musicals my askbox is open...

An incomplete list of two-show days you can't do anywhere but would be fun thematic pairings

Urinetown/Hadestown - the 'No, I wouldn't want to live in either of them but I'm learning a lot about Our Society' day

Rent/Moulin Rouge - the 'it would have been quicker just to see La Boheme' day

Mamma Mia/the Devil Wears Prada/Death Becomes Her - the Meryl Streep Extended Universe* Weekend

*not featuring Ms Streep

#cast10book3 #as the playlist is just any musical as you think of it #it's fun to try to pair shows thematically

This meme is for the 2001 Olivier Awards where 60% of the revivals nominated were G&S operas. Both they and the Tonys also seem to think that Porgy and Bess is a musical.

Reading the wikipedia page for a musical and seeing it opened on Broadway in the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and going 'ah yes, I know what goes on there' purely because of tumblr user luntfontanne (who I do not follow) and their incredible DBH footprint on this website. I love tumblr

#cast10book3 #luntfontanne #my appreciation for the DBH content is genuine #I have been to Broadway once in 2012 #so my awareness of its theatres is limited to the current happenings at the LFA and the golden #Walking Happy #<- the show I was wiki-ing

if I had a nickel for every time I’ve been jump scared by Margaret Thatcher appearing in a musical this week I’d have 15c.

Which is too many random drive-by Maggie Thatchers and not enough to cover the therapy I need. Especially because in one she was doing shots at a Christmas party :(

#cast10book3 #Just for one day #standing at the sky’s edge #Love actually? The musical parody #If I’m ranking thatcher depictions the best one is obviously Billy Elliot #Which I saw at a young enough and innocent age that I wasn’t viscerally upset by Margaret Thatcher appearing

The thing about listening to every musical* is that, once you've got through the "what do you mean you've never seen Cabaret, Cato? Of course you have, everyone's always doing it" patches you're left with 3 big categories

Bad/unpopular musicals by big composers - people have seen these and they will talk about them. If I wanted to get into discussions about Stephen Ward, I could. I know there are ALW fans out there. This is fine.

Modern musicals that have not (yet) made it big, but which, crucially, people (musical theatre nerds) have seen and will talk about. This is great!

Old/classic musicals that maybe have 1 cast recording but which absolutely no one is talking about. They are probably average musically but there are a lot of Implications to discuss. This is hell.

TL;DR

I really want to find someone who will dissect what the hell is going on in New Girl in Town, specifically in the song On The Farm but I cannot.

*putting every cast album you've not at least heard once on a playlist and then slowly listening to that but also adding to it as often as you can such that you're still only 37% the way through

#cast10book3 #stephen ward musical #I talked a big game about the stephen ward musical but there's only one tumblr post about it #well two now counting this one #new girl in town #my sister was in Cabaret and did I watch it?#no #did i know most of the songs anyway because of cultural osmosis #yeah

Apple Music has become concerned about my mental well-being.

Now, I agree my >225 musical playlist isn't exactly screaming self-care. And some parts of the listening experience have been a slog.

But Mr Van Peebles' work is one I'm actually looking forward to! Don't do him dirty like this

So many musicals I've listened to lately have me all [hissing]: sopranos

and really it's not their fault (poor dears) it's that composers love to substitute technically impressive notes for melody, lyricism and substance

and they've been doing that since *checks notes* Mozart and the classically trained bel canto lot do it better

#cast10book3 #the most recent Queen of the Night I heard notwithstanding #sighs dreamily #altos and mezzos and tbh even just sops being allowed the lower range my beloved
