i’m tired of seeing posts saying that releasing proshots of musicals will kill the musical theatre business because it really won’t. it’ll reach a bigger audience that way. folks who have never even considered watching hamilton before it was on disney plus are starting to watch more musicals after seeing it. after watching the proshot of into the woods i’ve never wanted to see it on broadway more. legally blonde is one of my favorite shows because i got to watch it recorded, but i still want to see it performed as a part of the audience. i watch the heathers bo0tleg like three times a week! i still want to see it in person because it’s an experience.
and also, how could i not mention that broadway is an american thing and west end is a UK thing. there are so many other countries out there who don’t have the money or the ability to see big shows. same thing goes for disabled folk who don’t have the ability to go because seating for them is limited and sometimes even nonexistent. i mean, think about it. if someone’s deaf, at home there’s subtitles. if a show doesn’t have seating for people in wheelchairs, there’s a proshot at home they can watch. if someone doesn’t have the money to travel to new york and then purchase tickets to a show, they might have the money to stay home and watch it for 3.99. non-english speakers can have dubs or subs for a famous professionally recorded show.
musical theatre should be for everyone. not just rich able-bodied people.
Danny complains, but clearly Steve's methods work.
legolas is such an important character to me because of how at a surface level when you first watch the movies you see him as this aloof mystical tactical elf-prince but then when you really start getting into his lore you realise he’s essentially just some homeschooled kid from the middle of nowhere who applied to a huge university in the big city to get away from home and is genuinely baffled at everything he sees and people assume his confusion is him being mysterious when in reality half the time he’s just trying to process what the hell is going on
thinking about this moment again:
particularly in regards to this conversation:
thinking about inej, who is actively dying, asking kaz for an apology. inej, whose native tongue leaves no room for triviality here. this isn’t “you were mean to me and you need to make nice,” it’s so much deeper.
this is “promise me you won’t treat me like a piece in your chess game again. promise me you won’t keep acting like i’m replaceable. promise me i’m not just another one of your investments.”
this is the first time we see inej holding kaz accountable, the first time we see her ask him to be more, to do better. this is the precursor to the “without armor” conversation. and i think it’s fitting that we never hear whether or not kaz did apologize. because at this point, i don’t think he’s ready to give inej what she’s really asking for here, and in a way, it’s best that she doesn’t hear him say the words. he’s not ready to mean them yet.
you want me to start dating? why? so I can get married? so I can wear a ring? the thing that killed Isildur and brought doom and destruction upon Middle-Earth? nice try dude! I see through your deception! now you must find another pawn to use in your evil machinations, o Lord of the Rings!
hate when someone asks how are you and you say good how are you and they say "oh not so great" or something. it's always like ohh okay i see we're being honest i thought we were playing pretend. can i have a do-over
I legit thought someone had photoshopped this at first because how are we lucky enough to get a shot this good?!
It’s just me and my silly little books against the world
I'm a simple girl; I see disaster characters who are simultaneously dorks and I bring out the adoption papers
