The outfits in question.
There is NOTHING funnier than THE Christine Daae arriving at coney island with the most ICONIC outfit and hair and slowing down time with the most beautiful entrance music and just fucking RAOUL APPEARING IN THE BACKGROUND WEARING THE UGLIEST FUCKING THING KNOWN TO MAN
I love that Jesus Christ Superstar ends at the crucifixion instead going through the whole resurrection. It's the perfect ending for their portrayal of an extremely human Jesus. It's like it's saying that whether or not the resurrection happened doesn't matter, not this time. We know that's the most vital part of every other telling, but this time we're talking about Jesus the man. And if anything crawled out of that cage, it was no longer a man. Whatever happened next, this is where this man, as he knew himself, ended. And so that is where we leave you.
my boyfriend just asked me for a "review" of The Count of Monte Cristo and i had to send him this as a warning
actually i am still thinking about dan goodman from next to normal. at some point during the course of the play, you start wondering why he isn't also still grieving his son in some way, since loss like that never really leaves you. when his solution to di's amnesia is to just not tell her about their son and his death, you think, oh, he's probably repressing his own grief and loss, likely because he's had to prioritize supporting his family.
but to get to the end and have him be the one to reveal gabe's name? that gabe's ghost stays with him and flips "i am the one" in such a chilling reprisal, to take the song about support and stability and flip it on the guy who's been trying to be an anchor in his family's life, to make it about gabe being the anchor the same unhealthy way he was for diane--and then to have "light" come back but it's moved onto dan and nat???? and gabe just lightly touching his sister's hand even though he isn't real and they've never met. when you're struggling, your whole support network struggles!!!!!!!
