So, When I Said I Wanted To Be A Newsie, I Meant Be A "cool Looking Boy With A Vest And Good At Dancing"

I've seen Cabaret, Newsies, Hadestown, and Les Miserables are trending now bc how relevant these songs are

This is your gentle reminder that theater is political

I think Marius is a TS fan

So after he is dishonored by his grandfather, he starts to try distance himself from the toxic masculinity person that Gillenomard wants him to be. So he starts to listen to ""girly music"" including Taylor Swift, and he absolutely loves her, like feral swifty.

He just adores how she talkes about love in her songs or whatever and how she's a girl power yada yada yada and he wants to be in love like she is in her songs.

Then he meets Cosette and becomes and unapologetic fan, like he talks abou how he is in love and compares his love to Cosette to lyrics of some of TS songs. To the point he doesn't even realise that Taylor is not unanimously liked by everyone who isn't a sexist biggot and there are actually legit criticism to her, he just stay that oblivious.

So when he meets the Les Amis he mentions Cosette and how he relates to Taylor songs in his love to her because she's an absolutely amazing writer who represents women of the world, and everyone just stares at him like "what?"

Then the Les Amis (Jehan and Couf being ex-swiftys) starts pointing that she does not represents women, she made a lot of mistakes and is very problematic in her white feminism aesthetic, she contributes a lot to pollution with all of the unnecessary plane travel she does, the bad conditions the workers in some of her concerts had to go through, the fact that she is very privileged since born and still a billionaire, etc.

And Marius just stares at them in shock, completely silent and embarrassed.

I saw so many people say that *insert Les Amis de l’ABC member* is so *insert Taylor Swift song* coded but like. NO. Mind you, Les Amis would’ve hated that woman, and after my fyp is plagued with these edits I cant anymore. Like do you really think that a group thats all about politics and rights would fw a woman as problematic as her? NO. I won’t begin the whole rant of points on how and why she’s problematic (although I could) but long story short, NOT A SINGLE LES AMIS IS SO TSWIFT CODED

musicals that contain rebellion against oppressive authorities are becoming more relevant day by day

So, we all agree that the Underworld Saga is what closes act I right?

Cause Monster is so perfect as a act I finale and than Suffering as an act II opening is so GODDAMN PERFECT

Happy barricade day to the barricade boys and the rest of us

Every time I hear someone say Enjolras is hot I can only think about that time in PJO The Titan's Curse, when Thalia says "Apollo is hot" and Percy is like "he is the sun god" cause he didn't get it

Best time of my life to have my favourite musicals to be Les Miserables, Newsies and Cabaret

Because guess what? People are realising fascism still exists and capitalism is really really bad and we should do something abou it

Who would have guessed that would happen?

les miserables was just like “capitalism and cops fucking suck and cosette is epic” and we all just went “yeah” for 200 years
