" She looks to Sam, then reaches into her purse and takes out a pack of cigarettes; She lights up and leans on the bookshelf; She looks up and clasps her hands in prayer. "

Based off of a bit in the Script I found. Just some real evocative imagery here and I love her so so much.

one thing I absolutely adore about tgwdlm is how completely and irrevocably a stage musical it is. it HAS to be a stage musical - the medium is so deeply baked into the story that it truly would not translate to another medium.

some reasons why:

the musical style is old-fashioned in a way that screams classic broadway. you can't get away from it, especially in songs like "lah dee dah dah day" and "show stoppin number". and it's not just the music, it's the dancing too - have you ever seen a kickline in a movie musical, once, ever? or jazz hands? gimme a break

along similar lines - all the broadway references! hamilton of course, but also wicked and mamma mia and jekyll & hyde

all the attention deliberately brought to the lighting and set! the performers in "la dee dah dah day" loudly saying "lights down!" when it's over; ted, paul, and emma striking the stage after "show stoppin number"; the lighting panels used as sirens, TVs, showcasing hudgins' alexa, and more; ted wheeling the big meteor prop off the stage after "let it out". they don't let you forget that we're in a theater.

all the hokey ass miming and special effects???? charlotte and hudgins having their guts ripped out is flashy and fun onstage because of the intestine props. emma and ted having blood capsules in their mouths. paul, emma, and zoey violently shaking when pantomiming being in a helicopter. ted running in place, moving forward or back to suggest movement across the road. it's all so fun and consistently reminds you that this is a stage

double-casting as intentional obstruction of the truth. we're used to seeing one actor play several roles in a musical, so when a familiar face shows up in a new costume we assume it's a new character. but it was zoey flying the helicopter to clivesdale, and I think it was zoey in the hospital at the end as well. you couldn't pull that shit in a movie because movies don't double-cast.

the role of the audience, the laughter and gasps and reactions and applause, especially the applause at the end when emma is begging the audience members to let her use their phone and demanding to know why they're clapping; sure movies have audiences too but the presence of the audience as part of the story makes a point about societal ideals as something we all have a part in that a movie just couldn't make in the same way

on a related note - emma's sudden awareness of the stage and the audience as the horror trope where the person realizes they're trapped and will imminently die. she knows she can't escape because it's just a fuckin loop. she knows no one will save her because they're all clapping. you couldn't do that in a movie because in a movie there is a fourth wall, whereas on a stage there's nowhere for the characters to run away. on a stage the characters can look you, the audience, directly in the eye, with no camera or screen between you

I will literally never shut up about that curtain call

god damn what I wouldn't give to watch this show performed live

people have probably noticed this before and im js slow but something ive noticed is that everyone who got infected by the alien in tgwdlm wanted something and that's how they got lured in. bill wanted his daughter to like him, charlotte wanted her relationship with her husband get better, ted js wanted bitches idk i forgot how he got infected, alice wanted her father to understand her (she js got cornered i assume tho but thats what her song is about so idc), and the other background characters wanted stuff too, like how mr davidson wanted his wife to um. yeah and since paul didnt obviously want anything, mr davidson was trying to figure out was trying to figure out how to infect him and so that's why paul didn't get infected until he was near the asteroid.. it could also js be because the alien made him the main character and was trying to make a story, since they're like. music or whatever...

tgwdlm is soooo funny bc even before the Evil Musical Hivemind lands everyone (except Paul ofc) is already a theater kid. Like okay you’ve got Hidgins which is self explanatory. But then Ted ends up really invested in working boys. Emma (and Zoey/Nora) did/do theater. Bill at least is invested in seeing a musical along with like a few other important side characters. It’s funny bc this is like Not how often theater is normally brought up. It’s like starkid went hmmm the average person consumes what… like a musical a week? been in a few performances throughout their life? Yeah that sounds about right. Like guys Paul’s defining character trait is fucking hating musicals and HE MENTIONS SEEING LIKE THREE OF THEM.

#couldn’t think of anything for charlotte off the top of my head maybe she’s truly the only normie </3 #the guy who didn't like musicals #tgwdlm #hatchetfield #starkid

in tgwdlm when Hidge tells the group to sing the beginning of moana, Paul is the only one who knows it. Like, they're all singing but Emma is joining halfway through each sentence and Ted is just jumping in with "ho ho" and Bill has made up an entirely new song.

it's actually really funny to watch them each individually so I captioned the video but also why does Paul know it???
