Fiyero: I could fix her

Glinda:Yeah? Well I could accept her as she is! You don’t like the murder? Grow up! The atrocities are part of her. And I’ve decided that they’re funny.

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.

lmao isn’t it hilarious that the wicked witch of the west canonically fucks??

like gregory maguire:

• read the oz books/saw the 1939 movie
• saw the wicked witch of the west
• the most famous witch in pop culture
• who has been scaring children for like half a century at that point
• and he REALLY and ACTUALLY was like
• “ya know what she needs??? what she really needs???? she needs to be a THOT”
• and then he wrote wicked

Good post, but Elphaba isn’t the wicked witch of the west that we see all throughout the film. She’s the witch at the beginning that gets crushed with the house. That part is literally at the beginning and end of the musical

im pretty sure she is.

I… I mean… it’s only a major plotpoint of the musical that she has green skin… And she calls herself the wicked witch of the west… And Nessa calls herself the wicked witch of the east… And it says at the beginning of the musical that she was killed by a bucket of water thrown by a female child…

I gotta ask, like, what the fuck musical was that other person watching???

Alright y’all so after countless hours of grueling work, I am finally almost done subtitling this bootleg with Alison Luff and Jenn Gambatese. I’ve got about 30 minutes of act 2 left but comparatively those scenes shouldn’t be too hard and I expect to have it done by tomorrow

I still have to figure out how to embed my srt files into a video, but once I have a way to transfer the bootleg with the subtitles attached, I’m going to be gifting it for a limited time

If you have interest in receiving the subtitled bootleg once it’s complete and transferable, no matter whether you’re deaf, hard of hearing, or simply want a subtitled bootleg, either reply to this post or message me, and I’ll send you a link once it’s available

Galinda: Does this outfit make me look like a lesbian?

Elphaba:No

Galinda: Well fuck now I have to change
