And Then Also The Fact That They Completely Deleted The Jared Part Of That Fight.
and then also the fact that they completely deleted the jared part of that fight.
like, seriously?
really?
alana and evan dont even fight, its like their talking but there’s tension.
they do it in a fucking l i b r a r y
like
no
what?
why???
theres no objectively good reason for this song to be cut, if anything its making the viewers hate it more??
or at least mildly dislike?
honestly, when i went into the movie theater and sat down, and got to that segment, i was already thinking
“Hey, there’s been no depth to any other characters but Alana Evan and Zoe. What happened to literally everyone else? Jared? Cynthia & Larry? HEIDI??? C O N N O R, EVEN?? Well, at least the THREE fights are coming up, now we’ll get to see some actual depth in at least ONE of the characters other than those three.”
and the amount of just-
disappointment i felt when they skipped him
sorry, just ugh my jared actually caring for evan and feeling left behind/having some self-fucking-respect kinning soul
my alana being a strong female who can stand up for herself stanning heart
my evan is not just a victim preaching bRAIN
i cannot handle this, somebody make a petition to remake the movie please.
from what i’ve seen, the movie soundtrack has already been spoken about, but ill throw my hat in too
the gist here is that some songs have been removed. which like, by itself isnt that crazy or surprising. some songs simply wouldnt translate well on the screen - Finale and Disappear for example, which have been cut
there’s also two new ones - The Anonymous Ones (alana’s new song), and A Little Closer
but cutting to the chase, what the other removed songs have in common is pretty damn unfortunate.
Anybody Have a Map, To Break in a Glove, and Good for You.
all three of which notably spotlight ‘side’ characters, especially the parents. To Break in a Glove is arguably one of the only scenes that makes Larry sympathetic. (which is sad bc it already seems like theyre cutting larry’s character into pieces) AHaM is one of the only songs Cynthia stars in.
And it’s like.. okay sure, I could see AHaM translating awkwardly, fine. Still bummed we don’t get that establishing peek into Heidi’s head, but she’ll have her moments.
it’s Good for You that has me making this post at all. i have had multiple conversations about how bullshit it is that they removed it. the more i think about it, the more that seems like a dire misstep, specifically because theres no way a written scene is going to translate at all.
to understand why this is bad, let me remind yall what Good for You does. besides being objectively the best song (to which nearly all of my peers agree - and yes that’s not to say it’s my personal top favorite, and that’s why I say objectively. it’s definitely up there tho) in the entire musical, Good for You is unique in that its 1) the only time people finally express to evan how deeply his actions have hurt them and 2) the final word either alana or jared get for the rest of the show.
to be clear like, that’s not a good thing, lmao. it’s one of the biggest criticisms ive always had for the musical, actually. but still, within the framework of the story, its incredibly important.
removing it is dangerous. here’s why: try to imagine this as a songless scene. what i picture is jared and alana arguing with evan / expressing their frustrations. whether this is the both of them at the same time, or in two consecutive scenes, this sucks!
because if its both of them, it looks like evan is being backed into a corner. it looks like hes a victim in that moment. and if its two scenes, thats still slamming down the ‘emotional consequences’ hammer repeatedly the thing is, good for you isnt super literal. as in, its not actually jared alana or heidi taking turns to yell at evan. thats why it works! because theres emotional truth to it - how they feel is real - but its not really happening like that. and thats why translating it would be difficult.
and like i said, its fucking important! so it needs to happen somehow! especially considering jared and alana will both get more screentime in the movie, thus doubly warranting a proper exit / chance to express themselves.
//takes a breath
thats all to say.. the removal of good for you is not good for the movie.

reblog this with falsettos/in trousers and/or falsettos/in trousers cast (any of them) photos you want me to redraw I am BORED fellas
If so, may I have a long fangirl-type chat with you about it?
I literally love music that's just one guy singing and it kind of sucks.
yk, this is a really good question. a lot of the revival lovers do infantilize whizzer, but everyone I've seen or talked to who love the older falsettos (the falsettos obc) are very respectful?
personally, I like both versions but yeah. whizzer shouldn't be treated like a child. I'm assuming it's because of andrew?? he's had a history in his fans and such of people treating him younger than he is??
idk. whizzer is a grown ass man 😭 thank you and goodnight (it's barely afternoon)
//this isn't about anyone specifically btw I just saw this and thought "huh. yeah. that's weird" because no, I haven't seen anyone babying stephen so it must just be andrew's version of whizzer? right??//
Do people infantilize Whizzer because of how they infantilize Andrew Rannells, or did they baby Stephen Bogardus too?
comic william clockwell, the man that you are
some scraps I scribbled out in study hall/after finals yesterday!! oneshot out soon :)
(also some panels of william’s canon guitar and him??? that gave me inspo?)
hey, I'm back!!
i'm back, fellas, and I'm here to make an absurd amount of incorrect quotes
although there will most definitely be a new series for my current hyperfixations.. I may end up updating the dear evan hansen incorrect quotes series, but as I'm a year or so out of the fandom, I'll probably focus mostly on falsettos/in trousers
(props if you know either of those)
tell me if you've got any requests for series if you so please!
thank you for being so patient, I lost my password but now I'm back, sillies
OOO lala!
love the in trousers shot lets freaking GO
thank you for these!
