Pre-wedding jitters (this definitely happened)

Girl Kendall: Whoever would have thought I'd marry someone Jewish? Jewish! I mean I didn't even know anybody who was Jewish! Look what a little Catholic rebellion will lead to! The very first moment I met Rava, I said to myself, "that's what I really like - that Jew!"

Boy Rava: What is all this about me being Jewish today?? About 3/4 of your friends are Jewish.

Girl Kendall: Did I ever say I like my friends? I do not. I much prefer my gentile enemies - at least they leave you alone.

#this dialogue was crazy lfhjlfj ask to tag probably tbh #no but they are so amy and paul to me fr #rava would thank her for hot orange juice and it would enrage kendall #company musical #george furth #cgku #succ gender fun #kenrava #kendall roy #rava roy #succession

Company Revival

Ok so I love company so much and I have thoughts on the changes in the revival and here are some of them-

1. You Could Drive a Person Crazy. Oh my gosh ok so overall I feel like the vibe of this song changes in a way that I don’t think was intended with the gender swap, but specifically in the spoken part after the first chorus. The original lyrics are(as far as I can hear, I can’t find the lyrics to this part anywhere):

[overlapping] “You bastard” ”Small dicked-flimsy” ”...good at giving head” “God Damn Cockroach”

and the revival lyrics are:

“Dirty flirt” “You feminist” “I just don't understand” “That time of the month?”

and I just think those are completely different?? The revival lyrics come off Wayy less like reasonable complaints, where the original were moreso digs at bobby in response to how he’s treated them, the revival lyrics feel far more like they’re yelling at her just to yell at her. idk the vibes are just completely different here than in the original (or the 1995 revival, which is my personal favorite)

2. The Seagram’s building!!! Ok so in the original there’s a line in Side by Side by Side where David says “you know what I think of when I look at him? The Seagram’s Building, isn’t that funny?” Which is a reference to Bobby being alone as the Seagram’s building is in New York but stands separate from the nearest buildings. However, for the 2018 London run they changed it to Chrysler Building because they thought people in England wouldn’t recognize the Seagram’s Building. But!!! That means something completely different! Now David’s basically just calling Bobbie pretty!!! It’s a completely different line now and I miss the Seagram’s building line.

3. Bobbie proposing to Jamie- I just think it’s way funnier for Bobbie to propose to Jamie than for Bobby to propose to Amy, because Jamie is gay so it is just hysterical to me when Bobbie says “why not?” and Jamie gets to be like. “why not????” like excuse me what do you mean why not????

Fan Theory: Boss Baby (Alec Baldwin) and Bobby Baby (of Broadway's 'Company' fame) are somehow related, and possibly the same man.

Evidence: Both have the last name Baby, and wear distinctive black suits.

Evidence to the contrary is welcome but I can't think of any
