Imagine getting a cat from an animal shelter and deciding to pick the very sweet and gentle one who hasn't made a single sound the whole time you're there, and being told "yeah she doesn't meow like other cats do", and then when you say "oh it's ok, I don't mind a cat who isn't very vocal!" the shelter's people look at you like they're about to say something but decide against it.
And then you bring your kitty home and the first time she wants your attention, she opens her mouth and the sound that comes out is a low, soothing but abnormally long continuous tune that you can only describe as something between mongolian throat singing and a didgeridoo.
i know that as musical theatre fans we all have dream roles or productions we would absolutely kill to be a part of but i think the more interesting question is which show could you never be a part of because it would ruin it for you forever. like youre too attached to the original score/cast/staging that having someone else direct it in a way just slightly different would make you homicidal.
bill finn's work has truly changed my life. he is by far one of the greatest composers of our time. his ability to so honestly write about the human experience is incredible. he has created so many heartbreakingingly beautiful pieces about love, loss, family, and identity. falsettos has been my favorite musical for years, i truly cherish it and hold it so close to my heart. what bill has done for the queer and theatre community is nothing short of groundbreaking. hearing of his passing has been absolutely devastating. wishing peace to his friends and family. may his memory be a blessing♡
