Hey Here Are Some Theories I Made (to My Knowledge, If You Have A Similar One Feel Free To Compare :)
hey here are some theories I made (to my knowledge, if you have a similar one feel free to compare :) ), copied from my notes app:
Four Jews and March of the Falsettos are from the perspective of Trina / are inside Trina’s head:
In both songs, the men are being immature, wearing costumes, and have very repetitive lyrics (“Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch // funny, funny, funny, funny” and (“March, march, march of the Falsettos, March of the Falsettos”). Jason is portrayed as helpless/ needing Trina’s help (“In case of smoke please call our mothers on the phone…” and the covering of his eyes in MOTF, showing he is blind (or Trina what perceives him as) to the ‘struggles’/ problems in the family.
Marvin faked the STD’s (Love is Blind)
In In Trousers, Marvin, by Trina (or ‘Marvin’s Wife’, as she is referred to then), says “We lay in bed, he plays dead” so he doesn’t have time to have s3x with/ humour Trina.
In Love is Blind (MOTF), Marvin is said (again, by Trina, but also Marvin this time) to have syphillis and hepatitis, but in a following line she says “Which appears now… [hepatitis and syphillis are] …well forgotten” meaning that Trina herself never had them.
Now, that could be because Marvin used it to not have s3x in the first place, or that they did have s3x, and he used it as an excuse after to not do it again (going off of the line “I am probably diseased”). So, that means 1; that Trina never certainly knew that she had an STD (or two), or 2; she either didn’t go to the doctor, which doesn’t seem like, as they’re all described as neurotic — prone to worrying (especially considering my previous theory; Four Jews went on inside Trina’s head, the men say “we’re neurotic”, showing she also considers herself neurotic too). And so if she did go to the doctor, they didn’t find anything, because she isn’t certain. The doctors probably said to forget about it, or that’s how she interpreted her words, so she still had the inkling, but not the confirmation.
Chess — Whizzer; Queen to King
Whizzer is portrayed to resemble the queen when he and Marvin play chess, saying “I fear I’ve lost my head” used as an execution method for royalty (moreso queens), and picking up the queen instead of a pawn (this is important in my opinion because he could’ve picked up any other piece; a bishop, a rook, a knight, or even the king. I find it interesting that it was the Queen specifically).
Another thing to mention is that Whizzer is shown as the narrator (moreso in MOTF) and less of the family. He moves around the most, narrating in places that he isn’t physically in, instead metaphorically to narrate to the audience. A similarity to the Queen in chess; moving anywhere on the board, in any direction (besides the knight).
However, in act 2, when Whizzer falls ill, he stays on the hospital bed; in the hospital; in one place. In his solo (“You Gotta Die Sometime”), he moves from the bed, yes, into the chair; one square on the board. Like the King.
Cool thing I also found: in “The Chess Game”, Whizzer moves his h2 pawn to h4 and Marvin moves his h7 pawn to h5 :)

yo do not mess with the book of mormon fandom
there's like five of us but we're strong
Here's a close up of my deconstructing the cube page if anyone wants to take a crack at building it yourself. Mines made out of wood scraps.
How I've broken it down was into directions (the first time we see it, the left side is 'east' and the right side is 'west'). You get it. Every block was assigned a letter so I could put it back perfectly every time cause so many of the blocks look the same but have a very slight size difference that throws the whole thing off if placed elsewhere.
The scale is not completely jacked beyond comprehension, but I started with one block and scaled the whole thing around that, so I really had no idea how big it would actually be. Mine is 7 by 6 inches.
Honestly looking at it now, idk how I did it.
It was mostly a process of fuck around and find out. I needed to use every version and bootleg I could to get every angle and see all the details and even then, I'm still confused.
To more or less ruin the illusion, there's a third triangle that doesn't fit anywhere and Whizzer's headstone replaced two blocks [H and I]. So those ones either hang out behind the cube or inside the pocket of space it has.
The whole thing I want to say took me like a week of sawing and sanding wood. (Minus the painting). But I was really determined to get it done before my interest wavered the slightest. Not that it did of course, I was eager to get to work on my next Falsettos-related project. [A hand carved chessboard set] if y'all want to see that, I'll be happy to show you.
my friends will be talking about anything and I will link it back to falsettos or in trousers I can’t stop
how am I following 151 falsettos people but have no friends that like it irl (one has watched it but nothing else 😔)
over 300k now!! i’m a little late but i’m still happy about the milestone :)
the falsettos protshot on youtube had the view count go up by 4k in one day and that will never not make me happy
and now. a collection of weird stock photos from pinterest (plus a falsettos meme oops how’d that get there)
No bc what kinda fever dream is high school ladies at 5:00
I say this with love
probably been said before but what if the reason Marvin’s background is yellow on the falsettos cover (2016) is because of the ‘the room is yellow’ line
I was watching different productions of falsettos yesterday because its fun and I found a falsettoland production by trinity college (the same college that made that in trousers production we've all watched) and it's one of my favourite productions I've seen and I'm giving some reasons why and also why you should check it out as well ;)
•Whizzvin kiss ON THE LIPS❗❗ In what more can I say :D
•ALSO. The lesbians have a kiss of the lips aswell during the baseball game which is adorable
•Slide. THE SLIDE MAKES A RETURN MFS❗ I love the stupid slide
•The girl who played Trina in the in trousers production plays her here :D
•Marvin reading a book during the baseball game 💀
•Whizzer brought a blanket with him to the baseball game and when Marvin tries touching his hair he just throws it over his hair to stop him (this made me laugh)
•Marvins goofy pink shorts during the racquetball games
•During holding to the ground Trina gets some water for whizzer and brings Charlotte in to help him 😭
•Whizzers cane. During you gotta die sometime and Jason's bar mitzvah whizzer uses a cane to help him move around and stand he also falls a couple times which shows he's struggling to hold his weight (it irritated me in productions of the show that whizzer even though he's immensely weak and ill would just move as easily as he did before he came in hospital so I'm glad they showed him struggling here).
•Jason and whizzers little interactions during Jason's bar mitzvah 😭 they're adorable
•Trust me here this production is so good check it out the cast play the characters amazingly and they're so talented it deserves more love
