I will be expecting Jenna ortega, Camila mendes, Danny Ramírez and all the other actors that participate in the house of Bernarda alba to practice their best Andalusian accent. They better sound like they're tired of watching guiris hoard the beach apartments in la Costa del Sol or something

Rip Neil and Todd

You both would have loved Federico García Lorca

(“He died on 1936” shhh)

(History lesson:

Lorca is the guy on spanish literature. He was killed by the francoists (supporters of the spanish dictator Franco) during the spanish civil war for being a socialist and homosexual. He wrote plays and poetry than are honestly the exact style Neil and Todd would love.)

Encanto AU where everything is the same except it's based on The House of Bernarda Alba rather than A Hundred Years of Solitude.

The House of Bernarda Alba to go (García Lorca in 8.75 minutes)

You would think from how much I enjoy Lorca poems as an adult, that would be where I first encountered him, but no.  I'd never heard of him before I went to see this play in college. My infatuation with his life and writing came after.

The House of Bernarda Alba

by Alice Birch after Federico García Lorca a co-production with Playful Productions

16 November 2023 — 6 January 2024

Lyttelton Theatre, National Theatre, South Bank, London SE1 9PX

You bring such scandal to my house In the domain of Bernarda Alba, a daughter who disobeys is no longer a daughter. Forced to live under their mother’s tight grip as they mourn their father’s death, can five sisters survive when young Adela dares for passion and freedom? Olivier Award-winner Harriet Walter (Succession) plays the formidable matriarch, guarding her reputation against the rising tide of her family’s desires in this pitch-black drama exploring the consequences of oppressing women. Following Olivier Award-winning revivals of Cabaret and A Streetcar Named Desire, Rebecca Frecknall makes her directorial debut at the National Theatre with Alice Birch’s (Normal People) radical version of Federico García Lorca’s modern masterpiece.

*brb squeeing and flailing*

(I mean, I can't go, but Oh My Fucking Gods!)

What I've been listening to recently

Just to collect up stray thoughts every so often

- Sweet Smell of Success. The music is really fun, but I read the libretto too and it just... lacks narrative tension. Which is very weird for a noir adaptation. Anyway I picked this up because one of my favorite podcasts is Movie: the Musical (now defunct, rip) and they did an episode on it.

- See What I Wanna See. I incidentally picked this up at the same time and it also has some noir flair. LaChiusa's music is so satisfying to me.

- The Fantasticks. Because I really like the piano in it, and I love the overture, and I aspire to get a keyboard piano soon so I'm making a little list of pieces I'd like to learn.

- I Can Get it for You Wholesale. Already posted about it at length, very weird selection for a revival but I appreciate not just cycling through the same dozen shows to get revived.

- Bernarda Alba. More LaChiusa, really good. All his albums I know so far have this quality of sounding very... put-together, like the shows aren't sung through but may as well be. I read the play along with it and it's very good.

- title of show. Good lord my tastes have changed. I wrote recently that I don't like the musical sound or lyrics of contemporary theatre, and this is... exactly that. I do still like a few songs.

- House of Flowers. I tried this a few years ago and it didn't stick; I thought I'd try again now to see if my tastes have evolved. But the music is just sort of generic; sorry Harold Arlen. Anyway I've accidentally thought of it as House of Leaves a couple times, if someone wants to musicalize that instead.

- Dear World. No idea what's happening but I'm having fun! This show was first pitched to me as "Jerry Herman's version of Anyone Can Whistle," which I'm extremely here for.

- Seesaw. I love Cy Coleman, and Dorothy Fields and Neil Simon are also both here, so it's like getting a little more of Sweet Charity. Also reminds me of Promises Promises because of the brass orchestrations. Hilariously the album is just songs angling to become standards, I don't think I'd recognize it as being a musical at all if I didn't already know.

attended west end woofs today and i managed to see bernadette peters (although fleetingly!) and she was talking to janie dee but good lord there were so many people following her when she left and i just ?????? (i also spotted elaine paige + lea salonga and made eye contact with bonnie langford and it was very enlightening BUT.... i did manage to get a signed poster ♥️)

#no one cares but i went to the national theatre to beg for a ticket to see the house of bernarda alba and they were sold out 💔 #and then i tried to find the passion libretto from the theatre bookshop and they didnt have it 🥲 #still though. i am going to start fighting god for a ticket to see harriet walter
