#something rotten broadway

[luvly-writer]

So i’m a theater nerd (i’m a dancer and did theater for a few years) and idk why ALL OF THE SUDDEN i found Christian Borle and fell head over heals for him (blame legally blonde the musical) and because of that I started watching Something Rotten. As a Shakespeare nerd as well, I FKN LOVED IT!!! But i was one controversial take that might be because im in love with Christian Borles…

When Nick Bottom asks to see the future and see Shakespeare’s next play..he was stealing it FIRST, so when Shakespeare goes to “steal” it, TECHNICALLY he is just taking what it his BACK. Cause it’s been fucking my mind (i’ve seen the musical and heard the sound track more that 17 times last week), when people say “no he stole the play” but wasn’t it gonna be his in the first place? Had Nick not intervened, Shakespeare would have probably written it. Or am i wrong? So TECHNICALLY, even if part of it was Nigel’s work, IT WAS STILL GOING TO BE SHAKESPEARE’S. Think about it, the soothsayer told Nick the play (well half of it because he had a few things wrong) and Nigel wrote of that, so in turn, thanks to Nick, they kinda cheated off Shakespeare. Will is still an asshole, but rightfully so he is still a TALENTED one. He wrote Romeo and Juliet, so the talent was there, he was just getting lazy and going through a rough writer’s block. Nick in a sense just made HIS ideas get to him easier due to the fact that he stole them from the future. Shakespeare didn’t have to start from cero bc Nick unintentionally brought his idea to him so that he could break through writer’s block.

Anyways, maybe i’m reading too much into a silly musical, but i am LOVING “Something Rotten” and Christian Borle and this got me thinking.

Looking for theatre friends

Hi, my name's Aron. I've been a musical nerd/theatre kid for as long as I can remember if I'm being honest. I remember how big the fandom was in 2018, but I haven't really interacted with anyone since then. So we're gonna try to change that! My favorite musicals are: - Spies Are Forever - In Trousers - Falsettos (I have a preference for the original 1992 musical, but I like the 2016 revival as well. The Marvin Trilogy is my favorite ever) - Something Rotten - Next To Normal - Rocky Horror - Ride The Cyclone Other musicals I enjoy are: - A New Brain - The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee - The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals - Holy Musical B@man! - Avenue Q - Six - The Book of Mormon - Beetlejuice - School of Rock - Bare: A Pop Opera - Phantom of The Opera - Heathers - Little Shop of Horrors - Hairspray - Legally Blonde - Waitress - Bring It On - Firebringer - Trail to Oregon - Jekyll & Hyde - Bonnie and Clyde

And many more! My musical playlist is over 24 hours. I'm currently trying to get into Anastasia, Hadestown, Eurydice, and The Lightning Thief. I'm re-watching Starkid shows right now, especially since Nerdy Prudes Must Die just came out.

Europeans translating American musicals: So we worked closely with the original composer to make sure our translation is as faithful as possible while remaining a singable rhyming translation. If a literal translation is not possible, we use a localized replacement that works in the target language. Please don’t hate us, we tried our best!!!

Literally anyone translating European musicals: *splotches lyrics on a plate like spaghetti, spits in it, and shoves it in your general direction* Here’s your stupid Eurotrash pop slop in English, happy now???? Also, we turned your corny-ass fauxpera into a comedy and replaced half the score with useless reprises. As is PROPER.

The hardest part about being autistic with a special interest on musical theater is the fact that I pour all my energy into focusing on the words, and I still can’t hear them.

I’ll finish listening to a soundtrack and be like: “That was amazing! Have no idea what it was about!”

Hey I did the broadway tier list and I’m afraid I’m gonna get crucified about the placement of Hamilton…

ALSO THE BLOODY LOGO COVERS SPRING AWAKENING WHICH IS SO GOOFY

(Also Matilda was lower but I thought since I was in a production of it I couldn’t give it musical hell)
