- How to Kiss A Girl

- How I Spent My Summer Vacation

- Beth_Harker

- “Jack’s chin goes up, his arms cross, and there it is, after all this time: the opening, the weak spot, the news breaking, and David dives for it. “Prove it.”

Musical Theatre Tropes/Things I Never Get Tired Of

• The Runaway New Yorker - mc wants to leave NYC because they feel like they aren’t achieving anything there. Like a typical New Yorker, they want to leave for someplace warm and sunny (probably Santa Fe). They almost leave when they lose hope, but then they realize that their home is in New York City with their friends-turned-family.

Ex.Usnavi(In The Heights),Jack Kelly(Newsies),Mark, Roger, Angel, and Collins (Rent)

• Kickass Female Trio - probably have a song where they sing about how powerful they are and how everyone bows down to them. Adored by the whole fandom. They also have this iconic pose that everyone can recognize. Also have a distinct colour palette among their outfits. The leader is the most powerful, popular, and feared of them all and is in the center of their pose & the main singer of their song. She’s somehow defeated in a later part of Act 1. The second-in-commandtakes over for the leader and is at her right. The innocent sidekick is at the leader’s left & she’s very youthful and childlike. Has yellow somewhere in her outfit. She’s likely to be an alto.

Ex.Angelica(leader),Eliza(2nd-I-C),andPeggy(IS) - the Schuyler Sisters (Hamilton) | H. Chandler (leader), H. Duke (2nd-I-C), H. McNamara (IS) - the Heathers(Heathers) | Regina(leader),Gretchen(2nd-I-C),Karen (IS) - the Plastics(Mean Girls)

• The Seductress Song - hot young woman breaks into lead male’s house in her own song where she belts some mad vocals and then flirts with him cause she wants him.

Ex.Mimi Marquez - Out Tonight(Rent),Maria Reynolds - Say No To This(Hamilton),Veronica Sawyer - Dead Girl Walking(Heathers)

• The “My Life Sucks and I’m Struggling Because I’m Poor and I Have To Work and I’m Too Young For That BS, but life goes on” song - It’s probably a bunch of oppressed New Yorkers singing that.

Ex.In The Heights(In The Heights),Carrying The Banner(Newsies),It’s A Hard-Knock Life(Annie),Rent(Rent)

• The romance between the Girl Who Has It All and the Boy Who Has Nothing trope - also self-explanatory. The girl’s father is probably wealthy or respected.

Ex.Alexander & Eliza(Hamilton),Jack & Katherine(Newsies),Nina & Benny(In The Heights)

• The Silly Little Banter Between Two Love Interests song - the two characters are lowkey into one another, but they’re like, fighting-flirting.

Ex. I Never Planned On You (Don’t Come A-Knocking)(Newsies),Light My Candle(RENT),Anything You Can Do(Annie Get Your Gun)

• The “Let’s Have Some Fun In The City!” song - super upbeat instrumentals and ensemble, the characters are exploring the city and having fun.

Ex.When You’re Home(In The Heights),One Short Day(Wicked),The Schuyler Sisters(Hamilton)

• The Badass Revolution Song - the song that makes you want to take down capitalism and scream something at the top of your lungs. take down the oppressors. the poor kids are taking over now.

Ex.The World Will Know(Newsies),One Day More (Les Misérables),My Shot(Hamilton),Yorktown(Hamilton),Defying Gravity(Wicked)

There’s probably more to add.

“so’s tha Bronx!” is the Newsies equivalent of “and Peggy!”

Jack [to Pulitzer]: YOU WANT MY 60 CENTS?

Jack: *chucks them the other direction*

Jack:go GET IT!

Jack, running off west to Santa Fe:S T R E E T S M A R T S

you know it’s true.

a concept: a Broadway musical production held in the Nederlander Theatre in West 41st St., Manhattan about a group of New Yorkers living in the slums of Manhattan, who protest against this guy - who cares deeply about one of the female leads - and his capitalist agenda, which is to sell something that will make the characters more broke than they already are. The main character is an artist who’s full of angst and nearly runs off to Santa Fe, but then realizes that their home is in New York. The characters also sing a song about their New York ideals while dancing on a table in a restaurant in an upbeat number. It’s also set at the end of a decade.

But like,,, what’s it called?

Jack [about 2 seconds into the strike]: I don’t feel good about this.

Jack: I don’t feel good about this!

Davey [shouting]: When do you ever feel good about anything?

Jack: Crutchie is my best friend but so are you.

Davey: You can’t have more than one best friend.

Jack: Says who?

Davey: Says logic.

Jack: Well, I call bull on your logic, ‘cause you’re my best friend too.

Davey [smiling]:Okay.

Newsies: hey pulitzer, it’d be really great if you could maybe give us the time of day so we can settle the stri-

Pulitzer:no.

Newsies:

Davey [to Jack]: How did Pulitzer not throw you into jail immediately when you first met him?

jack: well, thank ya for askin’. you see, i used the bittenbinder method. when i saw the perp approaching, i reminded him that i was dating his daughter. now ive thrown him off his rhythm

Ben Tyler Cook twerks in the Mean Girls Musical pass it on

and YES you read that right. When he’s wearing his Mathletes costume. I’m pretty sure there’s a GIF from the bootleg somewhere around here. (At least, I hope so.)

UPDATE:
