subjective best musicals list:
tanz der vampire! always and forever. this show is everything i love in the world and everything i hold very close to my heart. you know how people sometimes say that the things you were obsessed with at age 11 stay with you forever? this was mine! i don’t even have a good explanation as to why i love it so much. the story, the music, the characters, they are all so fun and beautiful and delicious. this might be one of the few stories ever in which i don’t have a favorite character, because i like everybody so much. the first fandom to produce a fanfic that made me cry, the reason for my tumblr username. other musical obsessions might come and go, and temporarily enjoy the honor of being called my favorite, but i live and breathe tdv forever and ever.
rebecca das musical! if i hadn’t discovered tdv first, rebecca would undoubtedly be my forever favorite, but i’m (un)fortunately very loyal to tanz. i’ve spent more time crying over this stupid gay musical than anything else. ich war ihr nah is the most beautiful thing that can happen in under two minutes. nach dir, rebecca? i’m already on the floor sobbing. it is unbelievable how much emotional damage i can receive in the span of three fucking words. danvers is my favorite person to ever exist in fiction. my obsession also peaked at a time in which i was very unstable and stressed, so it’s kind of like a forever coping mechanism for me now. rebecca das musical is also responsible for leading me down the daphne du maurier rabbit hole, which has been incredibly fun; i love her writing style very much, and i have used the book several times on ap english assignments/exams.
elisabeth das musical! if i think about elisabeth for too long, i start thinking about human existence and time and being dead, and then i start to spiral. the most majestic, beautiful, banger music there ever was. everything about der schleier fällt makes me want to scream until my voice is gone, like that is EXACTLY what i imagine dying feels like. the suffering was temporary, and it has all come to an end, and now everything is wonderful again. also, i named one of my teddy bears der tod.
wicked! another one that has a very special place in my heart, the first musical i ever loved, and the first i ever saw. how much of and about it do i remember? very little, i’m afraid. my love, however, is unwavering.
der besuch der alten dame because weißt du noch? is one of my most favorite things ever, and this musical just generally made me feel a lot of existential dread :)
phantom of the opera another musical of which i remember very little, but this was a huge obsession in my life when i was 12 ♡
six she’s so fucking fun.
frozen i am not sure if i was just really unstable during my very brief period of obsession, but i remember feeling INSANE every time i thought about this musical.
matilda i cried to revolting children the other day
