Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration I think is the most colorfully diverse Disney production since Cinderella (1997)

Belle is played by H.E.R., a Biracial Black-Filipino singer!!

the background cast is a rainbow of skin tones!!

the main characters of The Beast’s castle staff are diverse as well!!

Including David Alan Grier as Cogsworth, Martin Short as Lumière, Shania Twain as Mrs. Potts, and Leo Abelo Perry as Chip

Maurice, Belle’s father, is played by Filipino actor, Ernesto Cloma Briones Jr.

Gaston has dreads! And arms as thick as tree trunks! (played by Joshua Henry)

The Color Purple about to do the dang thing! Fantasia singing DOWN. The cast is FULL of singers and performers. Some ppl like Fantasia and Danielle Brooks are reprising roles that they played on broadway (Fantasia as Celie in 2008 and Danielle as Sophia in 2015). Taraji P. Henson is Shug Avery…Good lord. Please make sure y’all watch the trailer.

P. S: This is based off the broadway musical, as I mentioned above, that debuted around 2003. It is a musical in every sense of the word and is said to be more on par with the book than the movie was.

I'm thinking about when Jack Black did a Phantom of the Opera tribute...

Maybe the best version of The Phantom/Erik?

Okay so here’s my Broadway nerd coming out, but if a Starkid show (especially hatchetfield) ever made it to Broadway, I think they should have the stage be something other than a standard proscenium stage.

What else could they do, you may ask. Well let me introduce my good friend: Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812.

Check this shit out:

And if it’s not clear, here (marked in blue) is where some of the audience seats are:

One of my favorite things is the Starkid actors interacting with the audience. If they did something like Great Comet did, this would allow for that, because with Broadway theatres, it’s so much harder to go from the stage to the audience and back.

In fact, part of me really really wants to make my own blocking for NPMD using the layout of the Great Comet stage.

This specific design worked well for Great Comet because they had a lot of spectacle and many more actors, and I believe this stage was built specifically inspired by Russian designs for the time, so it wouldn’t be the best option if, for example, NPMD went to Broadway with the cast size it had with Starkid. But, I really think this would be a really cool way to watch a Starkid show, if they got a funky stage like this.

Just imagine watching Hatchet Town, and when the blame is going around, not only is it going around in front of you, but the blame going around AROUND you. Max chasing Richie all around. Think about Ruth singing Just For Once, moving all around that big empty space meant for like,, two dozen or so people dancing, but she’s the only one. Ugh. I love theater.

Hi. Absolutely love your art <33. Not sure if you take any small requests but I was wondering if we could see Pitch in your art style? Totally cool if not, but thought I’d ask

Aww thank you so much!! I don't take requests unless I make a post asking for some prompts from time to time, but I've never drawn him before and wanted to give it a shot!

#my art #rise of the guardians #pitch black #probably one of the only times I'll draw him UNLESS IT'S HIM SINGING A MUSICAL NUMBER HE'S SO BROADWAY #yanleafy did an amazing redesign of him but I'm not sure if they posted it yet #if you're seeing this lemme know and I can add a link to the post dude!#ask #anonymous

The term trauma porn has got to be removed from Black ppls vocabulary cuz a lot of the time y’all not even using it correctly. The Color Purple in all it’s forms is not trauma porn. If you didn’t get the message from the 3 versions of it that exist then that’s on you. I can’t do anything for you. Those experiences are very real for Black women and no it’s not propaganda against Black men. If you think that it’s somehow saying that all Black men are abusers then, again, that is a you problem. Figure it out but for the love of god stop talking about stuff you didn’t even know existed until yesterday.🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️
