chat i absolutely won at life the moment i decided to date someone who loves musicals AND can act. im currently severely hyperfixated on falsettos and my gf decided to get into it too. that isnt even the sweetest thing they've done yet. this mf wouldnt tell me about a performance they were doing then when the time came where i got to watch it, it turns out they were performing a bunch of bits from musicals AND SHE DECIDED TO ADD FALSETTOS FOR THE FINAL PART. IT WAS A PORTION FROM JASON'S THERAPY. SHE AND ANOTHER PERFORMER BOTH R INTO FALSETTOS AND THEY PLAYED MENDEL AND JASON RESPECTIVELY. i cant guys im so in love

Why I love the big grey cube
The cube starts very uniform and rather out of place as it seems just I bit odd to the audience.
But as it gets ripped apart it becomes clear to the audience how it is just a collection if blocks that are used by the characters to play pretend.
This shows Marvin's attempt to control everyone by viewing life as a game and trying to get everyone to play along to his delusional view on life.
After Meldal is engaged to Trina, he tries to draw her out of the fictional world Marvin has created by physically moving Marvin's blocks and fighting with him in 'a tight-knit family reprise'
As trina breaks free from Marvin's childish world, more props are introduced on stage to signal her newfound freedom from him. She gets to move into her new life with Meldal, and u see them decorate their house together (which is incredibly sweet).
The second act starts with a set made from the cubes arranged in a dolls House like formation as if Marvin will continue living in him fauls reality.
But Marvin himself tears down the formation just before 'its about time' to show how he's developed and is awhere that he can't live life as if its a game.
In the second act it is clear that all the characters are living in reality instead of playing Marvin's pretend both due to the important topics Charrlotte is trying to fight for and the increased use of props spread out across the stage.
(I love their little house plant collection)
When Whizzer gets ill, the set completely shifts to be highly realistic with no use of the grey blocks at all. This shows how Marvin can't ignore things anymore and has to face Whizzers health.
RLDR: The set is amazing. I love it so much!

i used to jokingly say the relationship i had with a friend was the equivalent of "platonic whizzvin". i know that doesnt make sense because whizzvin (act 1 mostly) was so toxic but we tagged each other as the characters since we matched whizzvin pfps, made fun of each other when we got too in character and just talked abt falsettos together. boy was i wrong. theres no such thing as a platonic whizzvin.

Do you think Marvin could see Whizzer in Jason? In the way he plays baseball, remembering the advice that Whizzer had given him. In the way he plays chess, using strategies Whizzer taught him. Marvin saw his lover living on through his son, and that hurts.
