Idk if other people think this but if a film company has enough money to make a live action movie remake of a musical that originated on the stage, couldn’t they just… film a live show??? Like they did with Hamilton,,? Like some musicals really do not work in a film setting and only work on stage and ngl I’d much prefer to see that instead of a remake.

Like the whole thing about stage recordings not being done often is because the company doesn’t have the budget for it unless it becomes rlly popular, but Hollywood could like idk put money before that so they could make money from the stage recording and more people can enjoy live theatre and making live theatre more accessible.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who needs parallels between Ted Lasso and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, because the Jamie Tartt and Jamie New comparisons are too real.

Supportive mum? ✅

Awful football hooligan dad? ✅

Dramatic af? ✅

What’s a show that never came to Broadway that you wish would?

Maybe Everybody’s Talking About Jamie? Of course that made it to the West End and a Broadway transfer was announced but never happened.

Other than that I don’t have many that I think should have transferred exactly as they were. I’m generally a big proponent of the idea that some truly fantastic musicals just don’t work in the big Broadway theaters and/or with promo as a Broadway show. Many of the musicals that I love but never made it to Broadway would be in the category of shows that I just don’t think work as well on as off.

If I had a nickel for every time a musical I like has referred to 32 as some form of old, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Yesterday I watched the Everybody’s Talking About Jamie movie and it reminded me of one of the things I love most about the show.

If someone who knew absolutely nothing about ETAJ came up to me and asked me what it was about, I would go with the simple answer: it’s about a boy who wants to be a drag queen. But that would be a superficial answer, and I would say something very different if I was asked what the show is really about: it’s about finding balance.

When we are first introduced to Jamie, one of the first things we notice is his inflated self confidence, his ego, his arrogance: that is evident in the show’s opening number, as he states that “it’s the Jamie show” and that everyone else is his “backing band”. Additionally, at the end of “Over The Top” Hugo asks Jamie what this all is about he replies “It’s about me!”, and that’s how they choose Mimi Me as his drag name.

Although that element persists and gets more intense throughout the whole show, we are also gradually introduced to another aspect of his character: the deep hatred he has for himself, probably due to the trauma he has from the way his father treated him growing up. Jamie deeply believes himself to be ugly (see “Ugly In This Ugly World”) and that he deserves physical pain.

We slowly come to realize that his self-hatred is probably the cause for his arrogance- it’s an overcompensation. But it is clear that this lack of balance is a great cause of unhappiness not only for him, but also for the people around him, who he ends up hurting with his lack of emptiness and his constant need for attention.

The only way for Jamie to stop hurting himself and his loved ones (expecially his mother and Pritti) is to find the right balance: he needs to learn how to love and appreciate himself, but he also needs to learn that not everything always revolves around him.

At the end, that balance has been found, and you can tell that Jamie’s found peace: as he now has a good relationship with himself, he doesn’t feel the need to overcompensate by always hoarding the attention. I think there’s an element in particular that is the proof of this found balance.

In Spotlight, Pritti sings to Jamie: “In a place where you belong”. The whole song is centered around Jamie, and how he’s a star, and how he belongs in the spotlight- it’s all you, you, you. It signifies how obsessed Jamie is with himself and how the people around him go along with it, for whatever reason. A similar line is reprised in “Ugly In This Ugly World”, except now it’s Jamie singing: “There’s a place where I belong”. Again, Jamie is only concerned about himself, but this time he’s not celebrating himself and his destiny of greatness; rather, he’s deep into self-loathing. He is still very much obsessed with himself, but we are shown the other side of his obsession. Finally, yet another similar line is reprised in the finale, “Out Of The Darkness”, and this time it’s sung by Jamie and all of the other characters: “In A Place Where We Belong”. For the first time, it’s not “You” or “I”- it’s we. Other people finally come into the equation.
