rent broadway musical

I watched rent a while back and its been my favorite movie ever since. I did watch the actual Broadway version that my mom has on DVD and that was also awesome they left a lot of stuff out in the movie though. But the music I love so much. Jonathan Larson did fantastic on it I wish he got to see it. I always wonder if Jonathan Larson was still alive if his art would be still as famous as it is to this day. even in tick, tick, boom the music that he wrote omg it's just so good and Andrew Garfield did amazing playing as him.

AS A EX-HARDCORE THEATRE KID I GOTCHU

a very potter musical: despite starting theatre in 3rd grade i wasn't actually invested in theatre culture until I saw Hamilton, but this stupid parody satire musical defied all that and became one of my fav shows ever and it is still up there, if anything for nostalgia. hamilton (duh): I was obsessed in 6th grade and it truly kicked off my love of musicals and inspired me to listen and get into more shows. falsettos: I love the themes of found family in this as well as how eccentric and quirky the characters and music is. the revival is especially fun to analyze in terms of the production sets and such!!!! hadestown: my big flex is that i got into this before it was on Broadway and bc of that I do think the off Broadway recording is lowkey better with a better orpheus but I digress, no matter what form/version you listen to it is a beautiful and powerful adaptation of the classic myth! the guy who didn't like musicals: another starkid musical which got me back into my love of theatre, despite me no longer actually doing theatre. also honorable mentions for banger soundtracks: frankenstein, in the heights, jekell and hyde, bare a pop opera (PUHLEASE WATCH THE SLIME TUTORIAL WITH JONAH PLATT ON YT IT SLAPS I PROMMY), Mozart das musical (it's German and I only listen to two songs from it but those two songs are bangers even tho I have no clue what's happening), epic concept musical (jorge rivera-herrans my king), and paris the musical (it is so 80s and tacky but is hiding a few bangers)

Favorite words list

i keep it pinned in my notes app! Good conversation starter for fellow word enthusiasts! One of the first times I hung out with one of my now close friends we realized we both had a list like this and it was a blast to compare and contrast. To quote him, Words are so good!!

Referring to yourself as a writer

Literally changed my whole perspective. Suddenly my world is full of possible and wonder and whimsy. I may only write in my journal right now... but I'm a writer goddamnit!
