every time aaron tveit performs at miscast he uses it as an opportunity to petition to play a slutty diva on broadway. please just let him.

sappy quotes about love as faith

“to fall in love is to create a religion that has a falliable god.”

• if i didn’t believe in you, i wouldn’t have loved you at all.
• ‘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?’
• to love another person is to see the face of god.
• his mind could do without faith, but his heart could not do without friendship: a profound contradiction, for affection in itself is faith.
• love, the future is thine.
• i have something to believe in now that i know you believed in me.
• today, all day, i had the feeling a miracle would happen. i know now i was right. for here you are, and what was just a world is a star!
• i’ll see my love tonight. and for us, stars will stop where they are.
• we’re untouchable; we are in the air; we have magic!
• 'i believe you! you do have magic.’ 'well, of course i do, i have you.’
• for saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.
• sin from thy lips? o trespass sweetly urged! give me my sin again.
• for the first time in my long history of being locked inside things, i knew someone would come.
• there is no answer, but eleanor is the answer.

some of my favorite falsettos lyrics in no particular order

• what do they do for love?
• what you love you devour, what i covet i keep
• yes i’d beg or steal or borrow if i could hold you for one hour more
• don’t touch me, don’t condescend
• condescend, stay my friend. how do i start not to love you?
• sing for us all, as we march along
• is it my mind? love isn’t free, if love isn’t blind, what do i see?
• sometimes you’ll think he’s wonderful, but he’s wild, i’m sure he’s marvin’s child
• don’t know why but he looks like marvin
• you hold my dreams, kid
• i’ll let you win
• what should i say to the man? should i be mean to the man?
• his lack of control kills what’s best in his soul
• tell me why was i chosen, why me of all men?
• keeping up my head as my heart falls out of sight, everything will be alright
• do you know? all i want is you. anything you do is alright, yes it’s alright. do you know?
• do you know how proud i am? if i don’t show how proud i am…
• ‘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?’
• if he loved me, i’d concede it
• if i say i love him, you might think my words come cheap
• perhaps she held back love from you
• he decides the role to assume, building a life
• i never wanted to love you, i only wanted to see my face in yours
• i loved you, i love you, i meant no disgrace
• photographs can’t capture our magic, we’re simply tragic
• it’s tough with love, love’s tough to show
• there’s nothing to fear, just stay right here, i love you
• i for one would take love slower
• are you just a big psychiatrist? or can you make things not happen?
• could you please make my friend stop dying? i am not naive, it won’t be easy
• slap my face or hold me till winter
• how am i to face tomorrow after being screwed out of today?
• let’s be scared together, let’s pretend that nothing is awful
• there’s nothing to fear, just stay right here, i love you
• this is where we take a stand, welcome to falsettoland

he’s always on my mind

does anyone know where these quotes are from bc theyve absolutely ruined my life

-i want to tell you that i think you have the only hands that i’d like to hold in the cold because you’re the only person who knows that i can’t say words like ‘i love you’

-daydreams are many things but most substantially they are flares of faith and for me they are wishes that happen through feelings rather than saying I wish so and so would be here and love me

loving and knowing

• i could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; i would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth, i would know him in death, at the end of the world.
• “it’s you,” i said, grinning foolishly.
  he looked up, and there was bright pleasure in his eyes.
  “i know,” he said.
• a surety rose in me, lodged in my throat. i will never leave him. it will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.
• do you know? all i want is you. anything you do is alright, yes, it’s alright. do you know? all i want is… you.
• if we remember all this in thirty years’ time, we might laugh. but now – it’s heaven.
• “i promise you that, whatever happens to me in the future, however i may alter with the years, you i will never forget.”
  “thank you. you’re still my best friend.”
• i will not ask you why you were creeping, in some sad way i already know.
• when your hat is carried in the air, just so you can chase it, just so i can be there. this is how i know, this is what i see, this is love to me.
• but i knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss.

song of achilles // falsettos // spring awakening [forsyth translation] // like real people do // the light in the piazza // cardigan //

where you go

• “i almost did not come, because i did not want to leave it.”
  he smiled. “now i know how to make you follow me everywhere.”
• “i have no need to forgive you. you cannot offend me.” they were rash words, but i said them with all the conviction of my heart.
• it will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.
• no matter how many times i had asked, he answered me as if it were the first time.
• if you have to go, you know i will go with you.
• can i go where you go? can we always be this close?
• i’m gonna hold you forever. the wind will never change on us. long as we stay with each other, then it will always be like this.
• you said i killed you- haunt me then… be with me always, take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this abyss, where i cannot find you.
• say you need me with you, here beside you. anywhere you go, let me go too… that’s all i ask of you.
• “i promise you that, whatever happens to me in the future, however i may alter with the years, you i will never forget.”
  “thank you. you’re still my best friend.”
• “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?”
• hit me if you need to. slap my face or hold me till winter. oh, baby, please do. i love you too. my lover.
• i can’t help but feeling i’ve failed. let’s be scared together. let’s pretend that nothing is awful. there’s nothing to fear. just stay right here. i love you.
• 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.
• the promise i made to stay and i stayed true.
• remember the pact of our youth, where you go i’m going.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger “He Plays the Violin” - Broadway Backwards 2022

The similarities between Magnus Hammersmith and Aaron Burr are disturbing. Both feel they are the hero, while both are clearly the villain. But it is not until that final moment when either of them realize it, and then they are aligned with us the audience.

Tumblr’s Top 50 Musicals

A few weeks ago, TheatreFlashbacks (@theatreflashba1) on Twitter asked his followers to rank their ten favourite musicals, and compiled the Top 100 favourite musicals in a list. I loved that idea, but was very surprised by the outcome - I’d expected very, very different results. This is why I’d like to do the same here and find out Tumblr’s Top 50 Musicals!

To participate, please reply to this post / reblog this post / send me an ask / a dm with your Top 10 favourite musicals - ranked from 1 to 10.

Since every show will receive points depending on its ranking, I’ll ask you to rankexactly10 musicals, not more, not less.

It’s meant to be a list of your favourite musicals, not those you consider to be the best! Make sure to include the composer/lyricist if there a two different musicals of the same name, e.g. Cinderella (R&H vs. ALW).Movie musicals without stage adaptations do not count.

Please spread this post far and wide! The more people participate, the wider the variety of shows & the more representative the survey: reblog!

Example (not my favourite musicals):
