i like this. particularly since i have incredibly ineffective methods for removing fake blood.
btw, if anyone puts any potential ideas for staging macbeth up in the next four months, i will steal them, fair warning.
This would be interesting for so many of the tragedies!
The older Capulets and Montagues being caked with faded blood, but they’re so used to it they barely notice .Romeo’s clothes being stained with both Tybalt’s and Paris’ by the time he reaches the Capulet tomb.
Brutus still being bloodsoaked before and during Mark Antony’s speech.
Claudius wearing multiple layers over his clothes and removing them to reveal a blood soaked shirt as he wallows in regret.
Coriolanus’ scars being hidden by remaining covered in blood and being one of the only actors to be so until his death.
Iago’s clothes remaining pristine as he manipulates other people to his bidding, allowing his hands, clothes and conscience to remain clean and clear
honestly I kind of love how well the actors are conveying their characters with non-cartoony costumes and their faces not even showing though
TBH I’m expecting this to be an unexpectedly poignant and touching musical.
Why is no one talking about how Lilli is playing sandy!?! Like a WOC playing a popular character!!!
“The musical will feature songs from a mixture of classic and contemporary artists, including Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of the band Aerosmith, Tony winner Cyndi Lauper ( Kinky Boots), They Might Be Giants, Jonathan Coulton, Dirty Projectors, The Flaming Lips, Sara Bareilles, John Legend, Lady Antebellum, Panic! At the Disco, Plain White T’s and T.I., with an additional song by David Bowie and additional lyrics by Jonathan Coulton.
“All of the musicians got a brief on where their song fits in the story, so they weren’t randomly writing songs on the topic of SpongeBob,” Jarrow explained. “They knew where it fit in the story.“”
um holy shit???
okay this is either gonna go terribly or it it will be arguably the best and most moving musical of our generation either way i cant wait
how many people are gonna be writing dissertations on how they wanna fuck the squidward guy
American Idiot: “Don’t let anybody else ruin your life. Because it’s your life. You should ruin it.”
Les Misérables: “Hey ~ How ya doin? Well, I’m doin just fine. I lied. I’m dying inside.”
Rent:The “Completely Giving Up” vine that has all the characters named Me
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: “My god, they’ve been in there forever.” “Eh, they probably just-” “WHOA WHAT THE FUCK WE’RE THE SAME PERSON” “HOLY SHIT” “HOW DID THIS HAPPEN” “STOP YELLING AT ME”
Waitress: “Why did you seat that couple before us?” “It’s a table for two.” “Yeah?” “You have ten people.” “Yeah?” [”We Like To Party” by Vengaboys plays]
Chicago: Could ya stop playin that damn music?” “Don’t talk shit on my music!” [GUNSHOT] ♪ say you’ll remember me ♪
The other day I had a really good idea for a story:
A high school Shakespeare club angrily splits into two groups when they can’t agree on the correct interpretation of Romeo and Juliet. One group thinks it’s a cautionary tale about the stupidity of youth and shallow lust; the other group think it’s a beautiful tragedy about poisonous hatred conquered by love. Reconciliation seems impossible-
–then a person from one group falls in love with a person from the other
#it would be better if somehow EVERY OTHER SHAKESPEARE WAS HAPPENING AT ONCE#like you got a benedict and beatice b-story#and then somebody see’s their dad’s ghost#and there’s cross-dressing#and three upperclassmen tell macbeth he will be drama club president
