convincing my classical music brother that musical theatre is good by showing him all the classical musicians who contributed to it
(I'm both a theatre kid and classical musician so this is fun research for me)
Gerswin (American in Paris)
Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story)
Dudamel (West Side Story)
please reblog and if you have stuff to add to the list I'm trying to win an argument here

I don’t mean to be elitist but I just don’t think ballets should be designed by abstract artists

i honestly, truly don't think most Europeans understand how big the U.S. is.
we are basically fifty different countries stacked in a trenchcoat. we are almost the same size as Europe in its entirety. it takes 15 straight hours just to drive across my home state. the cultural and economic difference between Oklahoma and California is like comparing Croatia and the Netherlands.
stop forming your ideas of what living here is like based on that one trip to NYC you took in college or that one influencer you follow that lives in San Fransisco
