Musical Theatre Moments I think about a lot
Fra Fee as Will in The Clockmakers Daughter hitting that high note in Fear & Whispers
The lyrics “Why me, what’s your plan? I can’t help her, no one can. I liked my memories as they were but now I’ll leave remembering her.” from the song Why God Why in Miss Saigon, but specifically when it’s Alastair Brammer
The reprise of Do You Hear The People Sing at the end of Les Mis. The fade in gives me full body chills every single time.
Not to bring up The Clockmakers Daughter again, but when Will says “I’ll be waiting.” at the end I cry a little.
THE END OF WAIT FOR ME FROM HADESTOWN UGH WITH THE LIGHTING AND EVERYTHING ITS SO GOOD
When I saw Hamilton during Hurricane they were throwing chairs and shit and then all at once everyone caught the chairs and some people were up on the walk thing and so the chairs were dangling and looked like they were floating, and I have never stopped thinking about that.
seeing Wicked was a big moment for me, but specifically As Long As Your Mine. That’s a core memory guys.
Anatole singing “All I care for is gaiety and women and there’s no dishonor in that.” in Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 lives in my head rent free in my mind
We Raise Our Cups from Hadestown. That’s it. Just the whole song.
In Les Mis when they spin the barricade and Enjolras is dead on the other side. I just… I cant talk about it.
Dolokovs little “A letter which I composed” again from Natasha Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812.
AARON TVEIT AS FIERRO IN WICKED. I KNOW THATS NOT A MOMENT BUT EVERY MOMENT IS IN MY MIND ALWAYS.
This is actually from the Les Mis 2012 movie but when Marius threatens to blow up the barricade and Combeferre says “My life is not yours to risk Marius!” actually just combeferre in the movie as a whole Killian Donnelly slayed that role he ate and left no crumbs.
Luke’s section in The Last Day of Summer in The Lightning Thief. Y’all know the one. The mini reprise of Good Kid ugh im already a Luke sympathizer (mostly) and y’all hit me with that.
In Heart Of Stone from Six when Jane is singing the king notes and everyone’s singing behind her again another moment that gives me full body chills
the entirety of When I Grow Up from Matilda
AARON TVEIT SINGING BOTH EL TANGO DE ROXANNE AND CRAZY ROLLING IN MOULIN ROUGE
Just Aaron Tveit in general is on my mind most of the time
In Natasha Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 when Anatole is singing his Letter and everyone is just singing “a love letter” in the background it’s my favorite. That and everyone harmonizing when he sings “Natalie Natalie Natalie.”
THE HARMONIES IN OPENING UP FROM WAITRESS
The harmony in Your Song from Moulin Rouge
Not to be basic but when they sing “the orphanage” in Who Live Who Dies Who Tells Your Story from Hamilton, that’s yet again one that gives me chills
IM EDITING THIS POST TO ADD THIS I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT BUT IN EMPTY CHAIRS AND EMPTY TABLES WHEN LES AMIS WALK BACK ON STAGE AND BLOW OUT THE CANDLES LEFT FOR THEM IN TURNING UGH ITS SUCH A POWERFUL MOMENT
there’s so many more but this list is already so long

This was taken in Australia. Three separate things happening at once: On the left, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. In the middle, it’s Comet McNaught. Then on the right, there’s lightning from a thunderstorm far away.

Let me tie my shadow to your feet and call it friendship, I said to myself.”

Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.
Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.
He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.
And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.
Loserlord indeed
