dances literally fine like have you even seen [one I had Just posted about watching four times bc I like it so much]” & I said “Ok I have, 4 times, and it’s good but he doesn’t jump around it’s mostly arm based also we’re talking 20-something with formal ballet training vs 40-something
& really likes musicals so it makes sense they’d adapt to his needs ? Like he can’t do the move from [a particular part] you can see him in the bg unable to do it the only ones who can are the choreographer and the guy who did it so they adapted to his needs that’s cool to me”
No one came to mob me like they wanted so they said “His costume was just heavy” I said “maybe but evidently shitty other guy was trained to do stuff like that & he wasn’t he’s not worse just different I think it’s good to appreciate the ways in which he’s different & respect the changes made 4 him”
I got an “Ok :)” and that was it. Like hey do you actually like musical theatre or do u have a parasocial relationship w a bunch of theatre actors bc uhhh half of being rly into theatre is going in depth on different portrayals & comparing & contrasting them, their visual metaphor, & what u would >
choose to do differently were you directing the show… Or maybe that’s just people who /do/ theatre. It was surreal to see a weird fandom type fan who wasn’t angry abt understudies for once tho I guess that’s bc shitty other guy publicly crashed out on social media. Theatre teachers love me @ least.
I completely lost the structure of my sentence here. Anyway the vibe I get is that they’re broadcasting you to their followers to say “LOOK, CRINGE! ATTACK!” & sometimes it’s deserved but over theatre analysis??? That wasn’t negative?? Just said guy w ballet training dances better than normal guy???
That wasn’t even the main point of my rant it was one point in the middle of breaking down which character traits the guy chose to emphasise vs the original portrayal, which were turned down, the difference in the voice used & how it suits smth more down to earth more than the OG comedic portrayal
