my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.
i literally love tumblr

A handful of random obscure musicals that no one talks about but they're some of my favorites ever:
Frankenstein
Based on Mary Shelley's book of course. It changes some stuff but is generally very faithful to the book and the music is excellent. I just really like it. (Best songs: Modern Prometheus, Coming of the Dawn)
Treason
Based on the gunpowder plot. To my understanding (I'm American and hadn't heard about this until I started listening to the musical), it's pretty accurate to the general history, but fills in a few gaps if you will to make it work better as a story. In the musical, the wives of the plotters are the ones who tipped people off about the whole thing, while I believe that we didn't actually know who wrote the letter. (Best Songs: The Day Elizabeth Died, Burn, Digging Down Deeper, Caught in the Crossfire)
The Clockmaker's Daughter
Not based on the book. I have no idea what the book is about. There is no relation. But it's set in this little town in Ireland. There's this clockmaker whose wife and daughter recently passed away (he's played by the wonder and amazing Ramin Karimloo), and he tries to recreate his daughter out of clockwork. And he ends up creating a sentient clockwork girl whom he names Constance. It's genuinely one of my favorite musicals ever but NO ONE knows about it which is so sad. The music has a ton of piano and strings and it's incredibly rhythmic and I love it so much. (Best songs: You're Still Here, Impossible, Fear and Whispers, Clockwork, also all of them they're just so good)
I also thoroughly enjoy The Count of Monte Cristo musical and The Scarlet Pimpernel (haven't read this book so I dunno how accurate it is), but not enough for them to get their own spots. :p
#i dont know you but you have excellent taste in obscure musicals#these are all like. staples in my recs to people. although i have a ton of others that i find pretty similar to these and just as good.#although i Will disagree on the best songs in treason because i am an original studio cast recording truther#and those songs are way better than all the ones theyve done since#plus they have hadley fraser. so.#but yeah there is no connection between the musical and book of the clockmakers daughter. they just share a title.#rumi the musical and in the light are probably the two main ones i would add to this list personally. maybe the in between.
