it's romeo and juliet. do i need to say anymore
a Breakfast over Sugar (In Trousers)
It’s so beautiful and heartbreaking.
Marvin’s wife having figured out he’s cheating on her with a man begs him to stay anyway. Marvin repeats that him leaving would be better for the both of them.
In the script there’s a note: “His WIFE, understanding everything, wants him to stay. MARVIN wants to go. Or MARVIN wants to stay. She wants him to go. Anyway, he’s going.”
And everything’s just so unresolved and the two parts tangle with each other and convey so much emotion with their beautiful harmonies.
The part where they sing over each other like “Pass the sugar please - I can’t believe we’ve worked - you can’t go on as if you’re dying - to end up this way - the martyr just won’t play hit me, strip me - strip me down but STAYYYY” has me constantly in tears completely breathless. The wife’s vocals and raw emotion just.

My favourite moments from In Trousers are the ones where Marvin decides he needs to start screaming for just. Absolutely no fucking reason whatsoever. Because he feels like it. Because he can. Brilliant.

In Trousers doesn't get nearly enough love. I wish the had done a revival with the same cast as Falsettos 2016.
