I had never actually listened to the Bridgerton Musical songs before this and now that I’ve listened to it, I honestly don’t think that you can classify these songs as Barlow and Bear’s “original works” because unlike A Very Potter Musical, where the lyrics, script, etc. were different than the Harry Potter movies and books, most, if not all of the lyrics in Barlow and Bear’s songs, are quite literally straight up verbatim stolen from the dialogue of the show.
Also, in the case of A Very Potter Musical, they got a lawsuit as well and were very careful not to do those shows for profit. Then, Team Starkid, who wrote the musical (again with lyrics and script very different than the source material) used the momentum from the lawsuit to promote their own original works which they did perform for profit
So yeah, IDK why Barlow and Bear performed the Bridgerton Musical for profit, when they knew it was IP Theft and could have done it as a free show but they got greedy lbh and then to learn that they also turned down the licensing deal that Netflix offered which could have brought the show to Broadway and made them Tony winners like ???

i’ve been reading all morning about the whole Barlow and Bear vs Netflix debacle and what this is really hammering home for me is that fandoms have entered this period where now that fanfiction and other fanworks are so readily available that they think that they can do anything. When you really can’t. Stop trying to make money off of your fanworks. You’re literally going to ruin it for everybody.

I know it probably won't happen but I'd love for Barlow & Bear to make more music for The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical based on season two because I'd love a reprise of Fool for You where Anthony is singing about how he found Kate, a girl who smells just like lilies, and he is 100% a fool for her.

Hear me out
Diluc x Jean has the same vibe as the song Burn for you from the unofficial Bridgerton musical.
And I'm living for it!!!
Like- someone needs to make an animatic of that.

I don’t want to sound old but there is a direct line from the youngsters who grew up defending their ebook piracy to a couple of 20 something white women thinking they could just … stage a Bridgerton Musical without licensing it from Netflix.

Give up on that fictional fairytale end

on tonight’s episode of me getting mad about something I don’t really need to get mad about…
the Bridgerton musical’s Eloise song (If I Were A Man) because of wild historical inaccuracies, including but not limited to…
‘I’d go to Japan,’ it’s 1813, no the fuck you would not. Sakoku.

"We, Netflix, graciously extended Barlow and Bear the option to license Bridgerton, but they refused and told us to go lick our own buttholes. Why I never!"
