An improvised musical on Broadway (my friends are working on making this happen, IDK if FLS counts because I never got to see it and I don’t know if they do a full narrative)
Spamalot revival with Bonnie Milligan as Lady of the Lake
Legally Blonde revival with Stephanie Styles and Dan DeLuca
Jacob Kemp as a lead in literally anything except the things he’s too white for (I’d even see his Evan Hansen although he’s 33 and a half)
Waitress revived AGAIN. Jenna Ushkowitz back as Dawn (after she has her baby). Kevin McHale as Ogie. Amber Riley as Becky. Ben Fankhauser as Pomatter. Ally Bonino as Jenna.
Fun Home revival but the small Alisons are the medium Alisons this time
Hairspray 2: Tracy’s In Her Mid Thirties And Can’t Dance Anymore Because She Fucked Up Her Achilles But Still Fights Racism
Brandon Uranowitz as Seymour in Little Shop
A “10 Things I Hate About You” with SJB as the guidance counselor
I just realized that in the half of decade I’ve been obsessed with falsettos I have yet to come across a bootleg of the 2016 revival with any of the standbys in does anyone know if this exists?
“if you are intolerable, let me be the one to tolerate you,” i said, and then i kissed her and tasted the lemon juice on her lips.
and what does it mean that we have not spoken in a decade but i still hear your voice in my head every day?
now the only person i think about is you.
let’s get married right here and now. me and you. in this bed. you don’t even have to put on a white nightgown.
"so please don’t say you’re proud of me when i’ve lost my way” “then can i say: i couldn’t get my mind off you all day”
you are a call to motion. there, all of you, a verb in perfect view.
slap my face, or hold me till winter.
let’s be scared together. let’s pretend that nothing is awful. there’s nothing to fear, just stay right here.
“do you regret?” “i’d do it again. i’d like to believe that i’d do it again and again and again… and what more can i say?”
as she sees him, her heart skips, just once. like it used to. he hears it.
“you dreamt of me?” “no, i thought of you”
now you hang from my lips like the gardens of babylon, with your boots beneath my bed, forever is the sweetest con.
i don’t know where this road will end but i’ll walk it with you hand in hand. do you let me walk with you?
i was thinking that i would like to never have to leave this room. what do you think about that? …let’s just stay here.
sometimes… i still wish we never left that room.
yes, now i know that home is where you are.
in the low lamp light i was free, heaven and hell were words to me. when my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. no grave can hold my body down, i’ll crawl home to her.
“i’ll take care of you.” “it’s rotten work.” “not to me. not if its you.”

quotes i like from depressing introspective musicals i love part 1
i don’t know why people run, i don’t know why things fall through…i could say no and goodbye, but why, jaime, why?
see, we’re laughing… i think we’re gonna be okay… see, you’re laughing and i’m smiling… and you’re mine… we’re doing fine.
wait for me… i’ll hurry!… wait for me, hurry!
you’re sorry-grateful, regretful-happy.
you don’t live for her, you do live with her. you’re scared she’s starting to drift away- and scared she’ll stay.
marry me a little, do it with a will. make a few demands i’m able to fulfill. want me more than others, not exclusively.
you’re always wondering what might have been, then she walks in. and still you’re sorry, and still you’re grateful, and still you wonder, and still you doubt, and she goes out.
make me confused! mock me with praise! let me be used, vary my days… for alone is alone, not alive!
we’ll be the one thing in this world that won’t hurt.
you know i love you. i love you as much as i can.
let’s be scared together. slap my face, or hold me till winter.
do you know? all i want is you. anything you do is all right, yes, it’s alright. do you know?
the last five years/company/next to normal/falsettos/
the falsettos lyric parallel from “love stinks, love is pretty often debris, when you find what you find then never never never never never do it over again” to “do you regret?” “i’d do it again. i’d like to believe that i’d do it again and again and again” is so pretty my god
“say the word and i will follow you. share each day with me, each night, each morning.”
“i don’t know where this road will end but i’ll walk it with you hand in hand… do you let me walk with you?”
“wait for me?” “i will.”
“i’m gonna hold you forever. the wind will never change on us. long as we stay together, then it will always be like this.”
“let’s be scared together. let’s pretend that nothing is awful. there’s nothing to fear, just stay right here.”
“do you regret?” “i’d do it again. i’d like to believe that i’d do it again and again, and again. and what more can i say?”
“do you know? all i want is you. anything you do is alright, yes, it’s alright. do you know?”
“there’s a place for us, a time and place for us. hold my hand and we’re halfway there.”
“whatever may come we’ll come through, and who can know how when all i know now to be true is this promise that i make to you.”
“knowing one day we’d remember that joy, you’d remember that girl i’d remember that boy. till we do the promise i made- i’ll make it brand new. a promise that i made to you.”
“all afternoon, doing every little chore- the thought of you stays bright. sometimes i stand in the middle of the floor, not going left, not going right.”
“sing out this song and i’ll be there by your side.”
“i love knowing you’re there, i love sharing this island and everything we do. i love now, i love here, and in case it’s not clear, i love you.”
“there’s no need to roam ‘cause home is where you are.”

“good things get better, bad get worse. wait- i think i meant that in reverse.”
“deep talks, long walks, telephone calls. thoughts shared, souls bared, private names, all those photos up on the walls ‘with love’. ”
“what’s the good in being good if everyone is blind, and you’re always left behind?”
“anywhere you go let me go too. love me, that’s all i ask of you.”
“faces! drink it in, drink it up till you’ve drowned in the light, in the sound. but who can name the face?”
“i chose, and my world was shaken, so what? the choice may have been mistaken; the choosing was not. you have to move on.”
“the tune seems sad, but are the words sad? what’s he saying? is he praying? and why does it get to me?”
“and i don’t know what i feel and i don’t know what i know. all i know is i feel something different.”
“i’ve been a lot of places, yes i’ve travelled near and far… but now i know that home is where you are.”
“in the depths of her interior were fears she was inferior, or something even eerier. But no one dared to query her superior exterior.”
“i can’t promise you fair sky above. can’t promise you kind road below. but i’ll walk beside you, love, any way the wind blows.”
“to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time. i learned that from a friend of mine. ”
“he told me how he loved me, how he needed and or valued me.”
“why don’t we tell him that we don’t have the answers? and that life can be grim, life’s not all about him. and things rarely go according to plan. tell him things happen for no damned good reason, and his lack of control kills what’s best in your soul.”
