#stage adaptation

Omg?

OMG??

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME IT WAS THIS FUCKING GOOD???

I CAME IN EXPECTING AN EXTENDED LOWKEY-MID EDITION OF THE MOVIE AND GOT A WHOLE NOTHER EXPERIENCE ENTIRELY

The changed backstory! The more realistic sequences of events!! The downright HOLY choir and harmonies and belted notes!!! DEAF QUASIMODO!!!!

And holy shit the NEW SONGS?? KILLED ME. The ending?? RIPPED OUT MY HEART.

I WAS ALREADY CRYING DURING ‘MADE OF STONE’ AND THE FINALE DID NOT CARE ONE IOTA. IT JUST KEPT HITTING ME WHILE I WAS DOWN

‘Someday’ is probably the thesis of the show and BY GOD DOES IT DELIVER! It should be a crime that it wasn’t in the movie

Because of this, Aladdin plays up and Batb plays down. By that I mean goes for the older audience v. Younger/full family (not that both aren’t a G/PG show)

I think it allows Aladdin to be a bit more serious, dangerous/stakes are clear etc. where as Batb goes for more dance spectacle heavy and a bit lighter despite having action and heavy implications.

As a certified Dorian gray fan I do wish we had more photos of Jeremy playing him

But regardless, the fact he played both Basil Hallward, Dorian gray, Sherlock Holmes, and John Watson is hilarious. Does he have a bingo sheet for super queer coded characters he needs to play or what/j
