I think “Canceling the bar-mitzvah” does an amazing job at showing Mendel’s character growth. We actually see him acting like a mature father figure for Jason and admitting that he cannot always fix things. This really pays off because: No matter how silly and sweet people portray Mendel. In Act one he is just as flawed as Marvin and Whizzer. In the first act he doesn’t actually care about Jason or Trina’s well being only caring to use his position to get into a relationship with Trina, even hoping Jason acts out more even though that would worsen Trina’s mental state. He also even states that he thinks that Trina’s issues and strife are all a priori (unreasonable) even thinking that she is easily fixable. “Just five sessions on my couch she’ll be like new” so once in Act two when Whizzer gets sick he must realize that he cannot help or control the situation. He is forced to register that he has to take himself down from his own pedestal and understand that the advice of feeling all right for the rest of your life, will not work. So as he matures and gets out of falsettoland him understanding that the best he can do is be there for others and help where he can. That he is not always the solution but can just help aid to assist and comfort the others around him really pays off. This all leads him to the growth we see in “Canceling the bar-mitzvah” and further on in “Falsettoland reprise” when he embraces the others in the new tight-nit family.

then the scene turns to black.

[WHIZZER, spoken] I'm sorry.​

i love falsettos

in praise of subtle acting. exhibit b: brandon uranowitz, stephanie j. block, and andrew rannells as mendel, trina, and whizzer, falsettos

we as a collective need to stop hating on "shrek the third" like sure it's the weakest of the franchise BUT it has so many iconic moments like are we forgetting every single scene with the princesses and when snow white belted out "immigrant song" and all the animals went feral... or donkey with the baby ogre head saying "DADA" or the crackhead wizard guy... like guys come on now 😭

who would I be,

if I had not loved you?

how would I know what love is?

my unwanted opinion on “smash” season 2 because i didn’t have anyone to talk to about it (in no particular order)

i know i’m late but i have THOUGHTS.

- i hate the “hit list” musical subplot. it wasn’t interesting to me at all and i found myself getting bored everytime jimmy and karen were on screen together. i really didn’t care about their relationship or their musical at all

- karen was so unnecessarily rude to ivy, i get ivy was in the wrong but so was dev, and she treated ivy so bad. (i am also a massive ivy apologist sorry!)

- jimmy was the most unlikable character ever?? like were we meant to root for him?? he was so unreliable and stupid and the only time i actually did like him was when he said that tony speech for kyle… keep him locked up 😭😭

- this is kind of an unpopular opinion but i really couldn’t care less about kyle getting hit by a car. like i get it’s sad because he was a nice guy but he was in the show for like 2 seconds. i felt no connection to his character and yeah

- ivy DESERVED that tony and the role of marilyn!! i was so happy to see her win and i loved seeing karen’s stupid sad face. take the L. i just wish they didn’t have her get it ruined by getting preg 🥲
