Hey remember how tick tick...BOOM! was one of the best new movies of 2021 because it didn't shy away from the musical theatre, but actually leaned allllll the way in. Like, they went "if you don't know Sunday oh well this is for the theatre kids." Anyway that was cool.

Watching tick tick Boom again (of course), and one of the subtle touches I didn’t realize until Jeff pointed it out is that Jon is always really cold, which is a symptom of Marfan Syndrome. The Larsons did a lot to spread awareness about it after Jon’s passing.

We are definitely due for a creative renaissance on Broadway. We need more weird, experimental, minimalist shit. We need to revive only to deconstruct and recontextualize. We need more dark, more CAMP, more risks. My kingdom for a 70’s style concept musical!

One of the phantom “plot holes” if you will is why everyone thinks the flawless opera singer in a literal opera is worse than a basic Broadway soprano.
The Phantom hating Carlotta's voice even after she nails those two flawless high Ds at the end of "Prima Donna" is peak unhinged opera fanatic behavior.
