Do you ever just go ✨deaf west spring awakening✨
Something about spring awakening is just so appealing. The Dark/Light Accadamia aesthetics, the fuck society vibes, the inherent queerness of the characters, it's just all very nice.
Listening to the spring awakening cast album gives me such whiplash. At one point you are listening to a really sad and heartfelt song and then it is just a group of angsty german teenagers saying fuck over and over again
Is Your Theatre Friend Okay?
How to Tell if Your Theatre Person is Okay
(based on the musical they’re listening to on repeat)
From Least to Most Concerning:
Tuck Everlasting: Probably fine. Your friend might be yearning, though.
Heathers: Probably just routine ennui or angst, but if they’re only listening to “I Am Damaged,” “Lifeboat,” and/or “Kindergarten Boyfriend,” then they’re going through it.
Beetlejuice: If they’re only listening to “Dead Mom” on repeat, then you might want to worry. This is an “I am misunderstood” musical.
Waitress: Typically a chill one, but might be nostalgic and/or feeling stuck. Worth asking if they want to talk about it.
Dear Evan Hansen: Also in the safe zone, but if you hear too much of “Words Fail,” their self esteem is probably in the gutter.
Into the Woods: They’re either genuinely fine and just enjoying Sondheim, or actively having an existential crisis. Very little in between.
Cabaret: They’re either having a fresh and sexy time listening to Alan Cumming sing “Willkommen,” or you need to ask them if they’re all right.
Fun Home: Is your friend a tortured theatre gay? Because this is a tortured theatre gay musical. Just FYI.
Next to Normal: If Next To Normal is on repeat, like honestly on repeat, you might have cause for concern. This is a very high caliber depression musical.
Les Miserables: Your friend is wallowing. They’re probably crying about Gavroche because it’s easier to cry about French revolutionaries than process whatever they’re actually going through.
Spring Awakening: Please worry if someone you know is listening to any part of Spring Awakening on repeat. This is a peak depression musical.
