i think ive posted about this line before but im posting about it again cause i love it

"it's hard when part of him is off playing family charades" (games i play)

this line is so. ough. it shows how marvin tries to hold on to his life through his family, but at that point it's all a game (like the theme of games throughout the song [canasta yada yada]), and theyre just faking it till they make it

his attempts to bond with certain parts of his life leave him lacking in other parts (his relationship with whizzer)

and specifically the use of /family/ charades, his familial life is all as he tries to make people see when its just as messy and complicated as it is in his head. family charades are also usually just a kiddish game, showing his actions + attempts are messy and childlike to pull himself together

#u can interpret this however u want though #this is how i take it and i hope falsettos buffs dont correct me im newgen ☹️☹️☹️!!! #marvin trilogy #falsettos #motf #march of the falsettos #jett #jett talks (me) #whizzer brown #theatre #musical theatre #musical #musicals

It makes me SOOOO angry when people draw Marvin (especially revival Marvin) as some skinny or buff hairless pre-teen or just not the chubby body type he actually has. He’s a full grown man with body hair, he also has a lot of internalised homophobia and misogyny, he wouldn’t be shaving or grooming himself at all. He’s also definitely got more chub in act 2 than act 1 (I am an avid lover of gaining weight to symbolise happiness btw) but he definitely has it in act 1 too. He also has wrinkles, aging imperfections and he’s probably got chubby features/‘imperfections’ (e.x. Hip dips, stretch marks, rolls, rough patches of skin where its been stretched/pushed together). I do also hate when people draw Whizzer skinny when he, in fact, is muscled/toned and well groomed but he also is a young/middle aged adult, who is confirmed to have body/leg hair. Bottom line is, Marvin AND Whizzer aren’t little twinks, Whizzer is a muscley jock and Marvin is a grown ass middle aged man!

One falsettos lyric I think about all the time that I've never seen anyone else discuss is "Marvin acts like he's untrained."

That's how Mendel thinks of being Marvin's psychiatrist. Their therapy sessions are training. We talk a lot about how shitty of a psychiatrist Mendel is, but goddamn. He doesn't help Marvin. He doesn't teach Marvin how to help himself. He doesn't help Marvin grow or accept himself. He just trains Marvin to behave. Or rather, he tries to and very clearly has failed because he's controlling to everyone all through March of the Falsettos.

Just. It might seem like a throwaway line that was just chosen to rhyme at first, but to me that one lyric says absolutely everything about Mendel as a psychiatrist. Marvin might be controlling, but so is Mendel in his own way.
