riddle-of-the-model:

people who use tiktok are like “I hate theatre kids.” meanwhile their favorite sound on that app is from a musical

I like to explain to people that all the actors they love and admire and thirst over are literally just ascended “theatre kids” and watch their faces fall.

If you’re a dramatic (gay) arts person and the pandemic has ruined your potential for cinematic angst, consider doing what I’ve been doing since I was 16 and edgy and looking at The Unsent Project.

Patti LuPone’s vibrato in Gypsy is simply god tier

I can’t stop thinking about how Funny Girl and Chicago are set in the same time period and Nick Arnstein sings to Fanny “You are woman, I am man, you are smaller, so I can be taller than”

And then Roxie Hart sings about her husband in Chicago, “I can’t stand that sap, look at him go, rattin’ on me, with just one more brain, what a half-wit he’d be”

One of them talks about how women are smaller and softer than men and the other is about how stupid men are! In the same time period!! ICONIC!!!!

I think it’s funny that it’s gone from theatre roles being played by exclusively men and ladies being forbidden from being in productions to having half the male roles in shows being filled by ladies because so few men do theatre anymore.

shakespeare’s women x taylor swift songs

i’m making a tiktok abt this cause im a huge classic lit person & swiftie but i need more ideas!! if there’s any shakespearean women you associate with taylor songs please comment them— it would be extremely helpful :)

here are some of my ideas:

ophelia - dear john

• “don’t you think nineteen’s too young/ to be played by your dark twisted games,/ when i loved you so?/ i should’ve known”
• “I lived in your chess game,/ but you changed the rules every day/ wondering which version of you I might get on the phone”

helena - gold rush

• “what must it be like/ to grow up that beautiful?/ with your hair falling into place like dominos”
• “I don’t like anticipating my face in a red flush/ I don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch/ everybody wants you”

desdemona - tolerate it

• “I greet you with a battle hero’s welcome/ I take your indiscretions all in good fun”
• “I made you my temple, my mural, my sky/ now I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your life”

anyways,

rip to ophelia & desdemona, you would’ve loved willow by taylor swift

Absolutely nobody:

Me: ^^^

“there are Theatre Kids and ✨theatre kids✨” shut the fuck up. if you’ve ever cried to an obcr then we all bleed the same blood

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

you need to treat Cats (2019) like extremely bad and misinterpreting fanfiction that also hits James Corden in the nuts and you’ll have the time of your life watching it

My babies are officially a series with updated covers. If you love musical theatre, falling in love, and escaping into a whirlwind romance, I think you’ll like my books.

You can get them here!

The Hearts of Broadway series Book 2 is out now! You can get them both here! 

Enter a glittering world where everyone has a song in their heart. Each book in the Hearts of Broadway series follows a Broadway star on the journey of falling in love. And when these artists fall, they fall hard.

A national tour, a brand-new musical, and a co-star who makes life miserable: navigating a challenging career is already a complicated dance. So when they meet the people who tug on their heartstrings, managing the choreography of their lives gets more difficult… and exciting.

Showtune references abound and each book comes with it’s own playlist, which you can find on your favorite streaming app. Read together or stand-alone, the characters in the Hearts of Broadway series will sweep you off your feet.

It’s here it’s here it’s here! IF I TOLD YOU is available now! All links here, available in paperback, audio, and ebook. I can’t wait for you to meet Paige + Alex.

Hop over to my Instagram to sign up for my giveaway with Creatively Broadway! She made those gorgeous bookmarks!

Two winners will get a signed copy of IF I TOLD YOU and LOVE ME A LITTLE, plus two bookmarks.

(Playbills not included, sorry babes.)

Coming to your Kindle on 9.17! I can’t wait for you to meet Paige + Alex. 

You can pre-order here! 

We are ONE WEEK away from the pre-order date for IF I TOLD YOU!

Looking for a theatre book? How about some sapphic romance? A whole-ass brand new musical? Paige + Alex are the perfect escape.

Paige Parker danced before she could walk. After a lifetime of performing, her wildest dreams come true: she gets the chance to originate a lead in a Broadway show. Determined to make the most of her time in Chicago, where the musical is workshopping, she vows to find herself. No more crushes, no more dating, no more mistakes. But all of that changes when stand-up comedian Alexandra Tate walks into her life.

Sweet, sexy, and fun as hell, Alex sweeps Paige off her feet. Gone are Paige’s rules, as well as her insecurities about not being worthy of love. The magic of Chicago summer surrounds them, and even though they try their best to simply enjoy the time they have, they can’t help falling in love.

Autumn and life-long dreams pull them in different directions. What comes first – a love like neither’s ever known, or opportunities that they’ve yearned for their entire careers? If their ambitions don’t keep them apart, Alex and Paige could find a way to their own happily ever after.

Tomorrow! I’m revealing the title of my next book!

Just felt the need to share that I think the Tick…Tick…BOOM! movie may have just completely changed who I am as a person like I am mid-crisis as we speak
