NEXT MUSICAL!
Added 2023-05-26 06:35:55 +0000 UTCFirst, I'd like to say I am so sorry for it taking awhile for me to get to doing another musical reaction! I have been so busy with traveling, then playing make up with work and reactions in the in-between that I've not had the time to record a full musical reaction... BUT! In saying that, I will be home for the next entire MONTH! so lets get to cracking on some!!!
Musicals are coming, and so is much much more! and I'm stoked!

Phantom of the Opera is epic! The music is timeless. Would love to hear your impression.

2023-05-26 15:36:16 +0000 UTCThere's no losing vote here. I kinda would advise you finish out Rent Broadway while the movie is still kinda fresh in your mind and so is Tick Tick Boom, but I get how the viewers might be kinda over the vibe for now and wanting something else. Phantom is a spectacle and would be the bookends of style to Rent. Where Rent is very blank stage empty set bare minimum production value with all the focus on the story, Phantom is high production value. The story is also good, and has seized Western imaginations for over a century, but you can't do a performance of Phantom without a Phantom-sized production budget. Phantom released in the 80's and encapsulates the richness and opulence and extravagance and spectacle which 1980's reckless spending and borrowing culture empowered for the Boomers and Yuppies. Rent in the 90s is the bare-bones misery-fueled existence under AIDS crisis in the 1990s. Phantom will be a good next show. It will show you a more operatic and high budget style of production that, ironically, in Tick Tick Boom, Jonathan Larson was railing against as being soulless and not daring to say anything. So, no wrong choices, just interesting ways they all interact over history and the philosophy of Broadway and West End Musical Theatre for their time period.

2023-05-26 15:05:06 +0000 UTCTough choice, but I'd really like to see you do Phantom next. The movie is kind of terrible (can't stress enough that it doesn't do this amazing musical justice), so like others have said, the 25th anniversary at the Royal Albert Hall is the way to go. Whatever ends up winning, I'm looking forward to seeing it!!

2023-05-26 10:48:38 +0000 UTCIt was tough for me between Phantom and Les Mis. Really, you can't go wrong with any of them. I would also like to see your reaction to Rent Broadway. I saw a comment about Miss Saigon and that would be amazing too!

Les Mis is probably done best movie first (it's really not that bad) and then concert in that order lol. And Rent Broadway is more understandable, in my humble opinion than the film. Would love to see that one with you too!

2023-05-26 09:41:16 +0000 UTCI haven’t seen Starkid’s “Twisted” yet but their musicals “Starship Ranger” and “Holy Musical B@tman!” are two of my favorite musicals ever!!

2023-05-26 06:44:31 +0000 UTCSo torn between RENT and Twisted but since you've already done the film if RENT it's got to be the Broadway version next
