→ "Henry Butash On The Making Of The Atlantic City Story With Broadway Stars Mike Faist And Jessica Hecht"

“I think where Mike’s so great is just, even when he’s not delivering dialogue, he’s just giving such a strong performance with his looks. You can always feel him thinking when you look at him—you can see him thinking. Which is sort of the mark of really good film acting, at least.”

→ Naheem Garcia On Playing Tashi Duncan’s Father In Challengers Starring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist

“They couldn’t have asked for better actors; all three of them were amazing. You’re talking about one of them who was in West Side Story and the other from The Crown. These are top actors and they’re young people. Young but they’re at the top of the game right now – and they have a nice chemistry.”

omw to purgatory (the noel coward theatre) to witness a real life atrocity (the gbbo musical) stay tuned for live reactions and commentary (me being sad that dear evan hansen is no longer running)

#i'm already listening to my 'deh closed on the west end too :[ i miss it so much' playlist #in anticipation yknow #i do miss it so much adnfbdb #all jokes aside i'm sure gbbo is actually very good #i know people having been saying it is very entertaining #and i'm sure i will enjoy it very much #but i reserve the right to be ridiculously overly salty about the fact that my favourite theatre no longer has my favourite musical in it #dear evan hansen

if carrie, one of the most well-known flops in broadway history, is able to get a well-received (off-broadway) revival after over two decades, then i believe there is still hope for rebecca, one of the most successful german musicals of all time, to get an english language production despite the scandal

#PLEASE i just want rebecca in english #i don't even need a full show at this point give me a concert or an album im BEGGING #i speak #anyway iirc rebecca is still running in multiple theaters in europe #and the broadway fiasco wasn't actually that long ago #so yeah i thikn there's still hope #and i want that bc i feel like a west end or broadway production of rebecca #could pull musical theatre solidly out of the hellscape that its in right now with the never ending stream of #mediocre teen-oriented musicals in a high school setting with bland pop songs #i also firmly believe that things would be different now had great comet won that tony #over bane of my existence deh #yes i KNOW that deh was not the source of all modern broadway's problems i dont care let me live in my fantasy world #regardless deh did NOT in a million years deserve that tony at all #let alone over fucking GREAT COMET #this post isn't even about that but i guess im incapable of talking about musical theatre without talking about that tragedy #not to be a snob or whatever....

dear evan hansen is closing on broadway today. in honor of this, I am going to get annoyingly personal and sentimental with a brief little story:

on april 4, 2021, I was seriously depressed and my mental health was at an all time low. in an effort to get some awful feelings out of my system, I wrote a two-page rant following an evan-hansen-style letter format. trying to keep the tone from getting too dark, I half-jokingly included the line: “The main fucking thing keeping me going is the fact that I haven’t seen Dear Evan Hansen on broadway yet.”

on april 7, 2022, almost exactly one year later, I sat down in the first row of the mezzanine section and watched the broadway cast of dear evan hansen perform live in the music box theater. shit gets better. I promise <3

thank you to the cast and crew of every production of dear evan hansen for creating a show that has helped thousands of people like me over the past several years. this show has brought so many incredible people into my life, including some of my closest friends. from arena stage to the music box theater and beyond, you have provided a sense of comfort, understanding, and belonging to everyone who needed to be found. words truly DO fail to express how grateful I am that this show- and the memories that came along with it- made its way into my life.

sincerely, me

#oh man. DEH fans how are we feeling today #I mean. it had a good run. I'm happy it made it this far #at least we’ve still got west end for another month #and the tour up until next july (unless it gets extended)#ANYWAYS no more sentimentality BACK TO MY REGULARLY SCHEDULED SHITPOSTING #dear evan hansen #dear evan hansen musical #deh #idk if this needs trigger warnings or not so like. ask to tag I guess #P.S. ignore me stealing like half of this post from my own instagram caption lol

→ “It was such a labour of love”: Jessica Hecht on The Atlantic City Story

“Mike Faist is so compelling as an actor. He’s extremely open and very meticulous in his work. But also, even when you’re watching him in a big Broadway stage, he’s so truthful and there’s something very gentle about his performance style. He’s just very delicate in what he does. I was blown away by him. There was a lot of dialogue and we would play with it in different iterations, and he was so available! I actually probably have never worked with another co-star who was quite as available and quite as easy on film. He was just magnificent.”

→ “Henry Butash On The Making Of The Atlantic City Story With Broadway Stars Mike Faist And Jessica Hecht

“I took a very loose approach to the film. I wanted there to be something spontaneous about it; something authentic and true to life. It just felt like if I forced them into one thing, it would be like the air got sucked out of the room. It would just feel stale and stilted. I didn’t want that; I wanted it to be very organic and alive. Mike Faist and Jessica Hecht – there was a lot of room and we had a lot of takes where we had just gone through the script and talked deeply about the characters and the story. But then, once we had that foundation, we had the freedom to then wander off in a really exciting way. We did a lot of takes where Mike and Jessica knew what the purpose of the scene was narratively. But then, they weren’t tied down to a specific line of dialogue or anything like that. They just acted off of each other and worked together. We did a lot of scenes where I would tell Mike and Jessica to just surprise me. They both consistently shocked me with the things they would think of spontaneously. That was the most exciting part! And a lot of times, it was those takes that ended up in the film. Just because they felt so organic, real and natural.”

Hi! Dropping this here because I do not have the mental power to make a coherent post:

I may not have a lot of experience with most musicals other than just hearing some of the songs, but "The Pitiful Children" from Be More Chill and "Suddenly Seymour" (but, like, and evil version) from Little Shop of Horrors are very definitely Curtain songs. (Also maybe "Good For You" from DEH)

The energy of "I Don't Need Your Love" from SIX makes me think of Nicholas and Nathaniel, but of course the original lyrics wouldn't work.

"Come Alive" from The Greatest Showman sounds like something that Nicholas/the adults would sing when trying to get people to listen to them about the Emergency, and then also to the kids in the second half. It would be interesting to have Curtain sing "Macavity the Mystery Cat" from Cats as The Sender specifically, before we know who he is.

Curtain would sing "Never Enough" when he was alone in his office, I think, and also I really want him to sing ALL of "Agony" from Into the Woods by himself. He'd so definitely do that.

I really think it'd be hysterical to have Garrison and Curtain sing "A Lovely Night" from La La Land when they're working together. But. Like. Genuinely deadpan. No sarcasm. (Also maybe "It Takes Two" from Into the Woods as he's trying to convince her to put aside her morals and trust him?)

THE EXECUTIVES/MESSENGERS SING "The Jets Song" FROM WEST SIDE STORY

On another DEH note, maybe Reynie sings "If I Could Tell Her" to SQ about his dad.

"A Very Nice Prince" from ItW definitely makes me think of Sticky as he's trying to sort out what to do about Curtain making him a Messenger.

Curtain might sing "Johnny Can't Decide" from Tick, Tick... Boom! when he's still deliberating on whether or not to reform himself and join his brother.

"Santa Fe" from Newsies, of course, is something tiny Nathaniel and Nicholas would sing at the orphanage!

Okay! I know that ended up being about more than just Curtain, so I'm sorry, but I got super excited that I was able to put my sporadic knowledge to use! I hope this was at least somewhat helpful and not totally incoherent, since I am very tired as I write this up. Good luck, and I'm excited to see what you do!

Sophie YOU ARE A GENIUS.

The Pitiful Children DEFINITELY works. And I bet I can make an evil version of Suddenly Seymour as well! Also Good for You from DEH would be an AMAZING Curtain song for when Nicholas gets adopted? “So you got what you always wanted / so you got your dream come true / good for you / got a taste of a life so perfect / so you did what you had to do / good for you” asdfjgksldh

You have suddenly made me want to rewrite all the lyrics to I don’t need your love from six to make it about the Benedict twins—

Come Alive is SUCH a perfect song for trying to wake up the others from the emergency. Maybe I should just made all of TMBS into a musical or something 😂😂

Curtain singing macavity the mystery cat ahflfhakahfjsl

Never enough and Agony are Curtain’s perfect little theater kid solos. I love this idea more than I can phrase.

A Lovely Night, no sarcasm, would be absolutely HYSTERICAL. Especially since Garrison may in fact be a theater kid for my purposes as well… it takes two would also be fantastic.

THE JETS SONG. SOPHIE I LOVE YOU.

Reynie singing SQ “if I could tell her” about his dad 😭 “yes your dad loves you here are a hundred things I’ve noticed make you special” hmmm with some of these ideas I could turn ALL OF TMBS just into an unironic musical

A very nice prince—I would never have thought of that, but you’re totally right!

Curtain Can’t Decide would be an excellent song for him reforming himself AND fits neatly into the idea that Curtain is simply a theater kid.

SANTA FE WHILE THEYRE AT THE ORPHANAGE ASDFGHJKL

Ok Sophie so

Yes some of these were not Curtain

BUT WHAT IF

He uses the whisperer and accidentally gives everyone musical subliminal messages

And then suddenly LIVE is a complete musical for a day

That would be hysterical

I’d just need to get the society in front of a TV like once in order to get the messages into their head, that might be the hardest part, but then it’s all easy bc curtain would SO do that, even on accident.

THANK YOU SOPHIE!!!

#the mysterious benedict society #Sophie you are the best #these ideas are amazing #tmbs #nathaniel benedict #nicholas benedict #the Benedict twins #musical theater #tmbs theater kid au

Hey, saw you like musicals!! I have a few suggestions!

1- Dear Evan Hansen

2- Be More Chill

3- Bare A Pop Opera (don't reccomend if ur in a bad place mentally, it was quite triggering for me ._.)

Anyways, enjoy!!! I would honestly love to hear what you have to say about them later on if u decide to watch them :)

Oh, hello Micah! I appreciate all of your suggestions! If I'm entirely honest though, the only one I'm unfamiliar with is Bare. 😅

I have complicated thoughts on DEH, mainly because it won "Best Musical" over The Great Comet of 1812, and it indirectly caused the closing of Tuck Everlasting, among the more obvious stuff like what the story is about, but I will not deny how good the music is (I listen to Part of Me RELIGIOUSLY) and I do definitely enjoy the novelization a bit more than I do the musical.

As for BMC, I enjoy it a lot! I'm definitely happy that (as far as I know at least), Version 2.0 (Off-Broadway) and Version 3.0 (Broadway) are more accepted by the fandom compared to a while ago. And though all I've seen of it is "The Pitiful Children", the West End production looks awesome too! Hope the fandom gives it some love too. <33

I don't think I'm in a bad place mentally so I'll probably check out Bare sometime. Thanks again for leaving this in my inbox, Micah! :)
