It’s crazy how whenever people talk about how much shit the characters went through in Falsettos no one ever considers how hard it must have been for Bryna to be in China with a torn meniscus 😔

Thinking about Falsettos.
⚠️spoilers⚠️
Crying.
Not actually about Whizzers death, obviously that is so tragic but I’m thinking about Jason.
This poor boy, y’all ready?
1st things first, Parents have a messy ass divorce, dad is gay, both parents are having breakdowns.
Dad’s boyfriend and he have a great relationship and stuff right, but since the kid is already going through a lot he is acting strange so Psychiatrist comes to house.
Psychiatrist is unhelpful, psychiatrist proposes to mom. Dad and boyfriend break up. Poor kid.
His dad comes to his mom’s house to yell at her and he witnesses his father hit his mother. His whole life is already messy.
He and his dad have sincere talk right?
So basically we get two years of relative peace.
Then we’ve got parents arguing about his Bar Mitzvah, which sucks, because it’s supposed to be his happy special day, but now people are all arguing about it!
Dad and boyfriend get back together!
Boyfriend gets sick, it’s bad.
This person who Jason considered a friend who cared about him in tough times. Might I remind you this child is like 13?
He visits Boyfriend in Hospital, and everyone is pretending he’s ok, but Jason can’t.
Now it’s all on and about him, does he want the Bar Mitzvah or want to cancel it, this is a lot of pressure for small child, who is already grieving his friend.
Boyfriend’s situation becomes much worse, he is dying, Jason begins to turn to G-d for this, because everything is falling apart.
He learns is dad is also sick and will likely also die, what does he do now?
Boyfriend accepts his death will come.
Than Jason does arguably the most selfless act in the show. He has his Bar Mitzvah at Whizzers hospital room.
The entire “Jason’s Bar Mitzvah” song is actually so tragic and touching, especially all the touches in the show I-
Anyway, Boyfriend dies.
After the show ends so does his dad.
This kid goes through it and he needs more hugs.

WHY DID NO ONE WARN ME?! THAT WAS SO SAD! I was crying during most of act 2. I loved the relationship between Whizzer and Jason... They were such good friends and it seemed like Whizzer was the only adult in the musical that Jason could trust.

fun fact!
March of the Falsettos was originally going to be titled Four Jews in a Room Bitching, but James Lapine refused to direct if it was named that, so it got changed to March of the Falsettos

Am I just an idiot or is there actually no point to Four Jews In A Room Bitching?
It’s a fun song but why does it exist other than to be the first song in the show? Is that it or is there some deep metaphorical meaning that I’m too simple to comprehend?

I love that they kept in the little 'Hyah!' that Christian did
