Can it be gay?

My chest is squishy and perfect for being a pillow. I’ll be right there.

Hook me up my dude

I need to hear this omg

YES I love this show omg

Listened to It | wtf is that | LOVE IT | meh | um…hate it | heard of it | yes!!

Rate: 1-10 I would give it a 7 or 8!!!

Favorite Lyric: "I’d hoped and wished/My life would feel enchanted/Wished and prayed/The fates would hear my plea”

Favorite Song: Either Beyond My Wildest Dreams or One Step Closer!!!!

Favorite Character: Ariel, she’s a doll. I love her.

Best Moment: One Step Closer is probably my favorite moment? When I saw it at the 5th Ave over the weekend I cried tbh.

Something that makes me angry: There were some issues I feel with the plot and character development, I think they tried to develop too many characters too much and ended up with some of them feeling really fleshed out and others falling kind of flat so it was unbalanced. I loved the new story and characterization we were given for Ursula in the stage version, but I really felt like Ariel was kind of.. two-dimensional, almost? I mean... we get more songs for her in the stage version but despite that I still feel like they didn’t write her the best. I think it really depends on the actress at this point to add more depth.

Gives me the chills: Part of Your World reprise!!! And Her Voice, golly dang.

Overall opinions: I really really like it overall!!! It has a lot more character and depth than the film, which is typical of a stage adaptation but I’m always extra pleased with Disney adaptations, they do really well. I’m glad I’ve finally had the chance to see it live; that really deepened my appreciation for the show. I still do have issues with the weird characterization though, as I talked about above. 

2. Best Act 1 ending I’ve totally got a soft spot for Man Up from The Book of Mormon. I love all the musical themes coming back in and how much it gets me pumped up, especially live!!!

3. If you could go back in time to see a certain production, which one would it be? Either the OBC of RENT or the OBC of Into The Woods!!!! Or the Pippin revival, that was really recent but I never got to see it live even when it was touring and I’m super super sad about it.

BINCH

Listened to It | wtf is that | LOVE IT | meh | um…hate it | heard of it | yes!!

Rate: 1-10 I give everything I love like a 10 tbh

Favorite Lyric: It’s not a lyric really but it’s in a song so I’m counting it so--”Don’t wait for everything to be perfect, just go!”. It’s a very sweet line and something I try to keep in mind.

Favorite Song: Ten Minutes Ago honestly. It’s probably everyone’s favorite but it makes me feel some type of way and I can’t help but fantasize about getting to perform it onstage someday :’)

Favorite Character: ELLA!!!

Best Moment: I really like the whole show a whole lot but I do especially love Marie and Ella’s transformations, stuff like that makes me cry happy tears.

Something that makes me angry: I don’t think anything about this show makes me angry honestly???? It’s just.. pure.

Gives me the chills: All of the instrumentals really, and there are lots of other little moments here and there!!!
