TTYCT Kitchener Write-Up

ALRIGHTY YALL my first TTYCT show. We had ice side seats to the right of the aisle where tessa starts for 4 minutes. I SAT RIGHT INFRONT OF THE FAM JAM. LIKE I CAN SEE MYSELF IN STALKER PHOTOS OF THE FAM. #famous Anyways it was Cara, Alma, and Kate! Lol tell me how I didn’t notice until I had my mom taking my pic with my Virtue Moir flag and then I looked up and saw them. Haha! No I didn’t watch them, I was trying to watch the show and stay composed despite being INCHES FROM THE ICE. During intermission, they were leaning in close talking to each other.

Anyways so I loveee the Oh Canada intro I thought that was such a nice touch. You can collectively hear the cast singing along with the crowd. My patriotic heart soared.

Scott gave his flag to three little girls that were in the stands, he ran out on his toe picks and tossed it up to them.

Opening number was super fun and dancey. Interesting choice of costume lol! Kaitlyn and Andrew skated their FD and it was so gorgeous they skated it really well. It’s nice to see them using material that suits their style. Kaetlyn totally crushed black swan—wow what a gorgeous program! I was really looking forward to With or Without you and it definitely lived up to when I saw it at Nats in Vancouver. My mom LOVED Chiddy’s Phantom number since she’s a huge POTO fan. I just love seeing Chiddy skate clean and care free.

MOULIN ROUGGGGEEEE. Okay the intro was so good. I was avoiding videos before my show so I didn’t know what was going to come up. It was SO COOL. I like seeing them come on and get into character. Scott’s jealous face during the first half is so on point— clenched jaw crazy look in his eyes. And of course Tessa just crushing it too. SCOTT SANG THE ENTIRE COME WHAT MAY. LIKE EVERY SINGLE WORD. (Cue me in my head thinking of the line from the doc ‘when I hear that music I think Tessa’). Also they have to do the hug like that after don’t they?! They’re so settled into this program I feel like they could skate it with their eyes closed.

THE WAY WE WERE. Get out the tissues friends. From the opening monologue to watching the cast stand there ARM AND ARM. I can’t. OH when they skated out from the curtains Scott was giving T a one hand neck massage. She was slotted under his arm while he was rubbing her neck and then they joined the group. My mom was telling me in the car that the whole thing made her teary eyed. Watching them skate that clip of Mahler was a true feel moment (I wish I actually had memory of watching it at SOI 2010 however my 14 year old self did not store the memory ITS NOT FAIR. Additionally my mom claims we watched their 2010 Mahler skate on tv and cried watching them on the podium AND I HAVE ZERO RECOLLECTION).

Post intermission! I don’t remember the order so I’ll just say my comments in random order. The hip number was super fun. I just sat their smirking watching tessa rub her hands through his hair and hip nudge him to the ground. Also the lean part is A++ Tessa looks real comfy there.

I loved Weapo’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody, I know MF choreographed that and it was so pretty on them. Also how does Kaitlyn skate with her hair down like that. Also when she does her balance lift she just climbs him like a tree, blade one up then blade two haha it’s cool to watch up close.

Patrick skating to Eric’s piano playing was really nice. Eric is really talented! I bet that’s probably a thrill for him to get to play for a crowd. And of course just chiddy being chiddy. Gorgeous effortless skating!

4 MINUTESSS. Tessa came out to the aisle next to me, three seats over. She’s in character and walking the walk the second she steps into the floor section. Yeah, Scott tripped on the carpet and played it off. The whole routine was just great. I’m always in awe of how comfortably they can own the stage and embody the choreo. It was a bit ‘toned down’ than what I’ve seen in gif and vids. I watched extra hard for the moments people have pointed out but it wasn’t as good as the previous shows. I have two sets of videos of it because I turned my phone on and recorded it with the camera on my lap. And my mom recorded it on her phone.

The girls vs boys number! The girls won first of all. SCOTT FUCKING SKATED RIGHT AT ME WITH HIS THUMBS UNDER HIS SUSPENDERS AND HIS OPEN SHIRT AND I ALMOST DROPPED MY PHONE. If my jaw was on the floor I’m not surprised. The girls were so sassy and Tessa channeled the character so hard. She was twirling her hair when the boys came out and rolling her eyes when they started to skate. Such a performer, love her. In the end of one of the girls sets had her pausing right in front of me and I was GRACED with her sassy queen presence.

I can’t even remember what the number is called but the one with Tessa in the flowered bomber jacket. Yeah I want that jacket. Kaitlyn was skating with Scott in-front of us for a bit. Haha omg, walking out of the show my mom was like “I don’t like the way Kaitlyn looks at Scott. She’s looking a little intensely. That’s Tessa’s man”. It was cute to watch Ts do their little Latin steps and the Latin lift too. Every time I see that lift I wonder if they’ve ever hurt Scott’s neck in practice learning it. For the flashmob part Kaetlyn was the skater that came to our section and I got up right away to do the flashmob with her. It was a cute addition to the show.

I LOVED Sweet Dreams. The way they skate in sync is so aesthetically pleasing. Also the costumes were so slick and the sunglasses were great. From the side I was on, tessa was nearest to me and scott behind her and it was the perf angle to watch both of them it was great.

When Tessa came out in that Diamonds cat suit. OH MY GOSH, it’s soooo stunning. It sparkles under the lights so much. I really enjoyed the acoustic intro with Tessa and Scott it was nice and slow and intimate. To use a tessa word, it was the anthesis of what Stay was. Stay was angst and tension and longing where this is like calm and intimate and relaxing.

The voice overs of Tessa and Scott during the group diamonds was really sweet. I also like how the program was choreographed how it transitions so smoothly into each skater. I didn’t see how tessa fell I just saw her on the ice and everyone trying to avoid her. She was laughing so hard and got up quick. (I got the ask about the parents laughing. I think they did but I don’t remember).

I think that’s everything but I’m also half asleep. If you have questions, comments, want to yell at me my inbox is open.

I have to go through all my videos and my moms videos and pics and then post everything. It’ll come soon but no instant promises.

I’m also in St Cats next weekend with @makeitcountmeggy holla at me if you’re going !
