Ethan Freeman, Hass and the original production of Elisabeth
Recently, @behindthemirrorofmusic shared an interview clip from her radio show with me (thank you so much!). In it, Ethan Freeman (original Lucheni) talks about, among other things, Hass and the criticism the number has gotten over the years.
Dannii: Several Jewish fans of the show have said it's a rather triggering song and makes them feel uncomfortable - making them feel that Lucheni is turning against them. Did you think about that or does this raise any feelings in you? Ethan: Ah, no. Lucheni is a cynic, but he certainly did not ally himself with the fascistic transition that happens in the course of that number, as it begins to look into the future and towards the growing demonization of Jews in the Elisabethan world moving towards the period of the Nazis. Again, as Che is with the Peronistic fascism [in Evita], Lucheni looks at it with bitter cynicism. I can see people being uncomfortable, but the scene and the number were designed to make everybody uncomfortable [laughs]. And the Austrian audience, who at the time had to - and perhaps to a bigger extent even now still has to - deal with its fascist and antisemitic past... That number was always met with a kind of deathly, breathless silence. Sometimes applause at the end, but first it was always this reaction of "[gasp] This was us!". And that's what the number was there for. Obviously, Harry Kupfer, the director, was a tremendous antifascist, and so he directed the number to hit very hard. I remember we performed the show [one night] and Jörg Haider, the leader of the ultra-right party in Austria at the time was in the audience of the show - and he walked out after the number! I knew I had done my job when I heard he had walked out. Because the number points a finger at exactly the kind of ideology he seemed to purvey. So... As a Jewish person myself, I want to show the world its ugly reflection. If it made me uncomfortable in any sense, watching the Jewish character getting beaten up in that scene, it's because it's supposed to make people feel - "oh, this is not good". I think good theatre is for people with strong stomachs, and if people are extremely sensitive to that sort of thing, then they have to figure out how to deal with it. I don't think for any reason that that [scene] should not be in the show. Because it was a reflection of the history of that time - but not only that time, obviously.

Falsettos is such a genius musical within its symbolism and writing overall. The use of chess in this musical is so beautiful and makes me sob every time. Not only does chess represent Marvin and Whizzer’s relationship, but it represents everyone. In Act 1, you can clearly see how Marvin treats the people around him, especially his family, as pawns in this game of life. Chess also represents Marvin’s issues surrounding masculinity and his love for Whizzer. Marvin wants to be with men, but he desperately wants a woman to fit that role because that’s what he grew up with.
WARNING: SOB FEST
Chess also represents Whizzer. In chess, the player who plays as “White” goes first. Whizzer plays as “White” in both The Chess Game and Days Like This. Whizzer going first in chess foreshadows how he’s the first one to pass away. Jason also kept the promise he made to Whizzer by saying, “I’ll let you win” by sacrificing his king piece to Whizzer one last time once he places it on the block/tombstone. The king being placed on Whizzer’s tombstone could also represent how he was sorta okay with how his life ended, because he won. The family that he won through Marvin ultimately makes him the winner. A lot of chess is sacrifice, so the pain that everyone else around Whizzer feels could represent that Whizzer believed that the pain was worth it because of what he brought to the family.
im so normal about this musical

“Th’ names Blitz, the O is silent.”
I just started watching Helluva Boss and I had to try my hand at drawing Blitzø’s human design. I feel like it fits him

marvin hits trina thoughts (3:30 am edition):
- marvin being abrasive coming in with much harsher music after games i play just ended
- whizzer's surprise at how marvin is acting now that hes gone im geeked i can't. marvin is not so uncouth??. UGH
- mendel trying to warm up to compliments (which hes not used to because most of his interpersonal relationships[work] involve him being the worst on his end) but having to suck it back up because its being used to put down marvin
- "trying to ruin my sleep" "chosen to make me look bad" marvin brain warping back to in trousers marvin's narcissistic behavior when whizzer is gone because obviously a marriage is not trying to bring his life down but. tunnel vision
- whizzer AND trina singing about their relationships with marvin together and you can look at it from either way and it matches....the reflections between them+marvin respectively make me crazy ok
- one thing i'll give to marvin: if my psych said "i am so ashamed." id actually go batshit too
- marvins little "c'mon," half smile to whizzer before he says no.
- the DEAD stillness/silence after he says no and after he slaps trina. reflections this, i am feral that.
- mendel holding onto jason + trina but when he moves away from jason the face jason makes looking at marvin
adding onto that: - the face whizzer makes watching them too

I feel jealous of everyone that lives in NYC. Y'all get the opportunity to go to the Theater district see plays and musicals with stars most of will never get the chance to.
I really wish some streaming service would make a deal with some of play houses and/or Broadway Theaters to record their performances so those of us that will never have another way to see those performances will get a chance to watch them. I know it's not going to the same experience as seeing them done live.
But imagine how amazing it would be for, say, children or their grandparent that's lived in, say, Nebraska their whole life could watch Broadway version of the Lion King or see Wicked.
They did it with Hamilton on Disney plus. It gave me a chance I wouldn't of had way to see it. It was amazing!!
I just find it extremely sad that only certain number of people are allowed to enjoy these brilliance plays and musicals, basically solely on location and financially able.
For example the only play I've ever seen in my life was done by the theater class at my high school. I don't ever remember the play it's been so long.
As hard as it's to comprehend for some, many of us are either not financially fortunate to be able to go to such things or don't find interest in them until older or we live in area of the country where they don't have access to such things.
That's why recording the plays and musicals having them available on a streaming platform would be such a brilliant idea. If they didn't want to do it during a live performance, which makes sense. Do a performance just for the recording. Which I actually think is a better idea, they could get better camera angles, the cameras could move around more freely, they bother a live audience that way and it would be recorded better for the views who actually going be watching it at home. Let's be honest I doubt highly they'd lose ticket sales, I personally think it would do opposite. I think it would make people that could go see it more inclined to do so. To experience it live, to get be that close to brilliant actors, to know before hand if its good for their kids, etc...
I hate that we live in such an elitist society.
