Obvi I'm pro-orig stuff but Mamma Mia! is maybe the best musical ever. This lady's like, "I had 3 delightful flings right around the time of your conception, no clue who ur dad is!" And her kid's like, "how FUN! let's make this a lil GAME!" and then they sing ABBA songs. 10000/10

A Broadway stage is not the place for a creative team’s misinformed learning experience to play out. If a show can’t handle the actual gravity of the topics it thought it would be ~exciting~ to take on, then the team was not prepared to tell this story in the first place.

I think a reason many are shaken by the “Broadway’s just a job” candor is the idea Bway is a “gift” actors should be grateful/groveling for allows consumers to excuse systematic abuse & pulling the veil back would reveal too much disturbing shit for them to still “enjoy the show”

Wild to call a movie a “positivist jamboree” when one of the main themes is simply desperately not wanting your queer child to kill herself
Everything Everywhere All at Once must be nice if you like art to pander, flatter your vanities, authorize your attitudes, preserve you from exposure to anything that is not a positivist jamboree with the pacifying succor of pert little morals—so many readymades—lying in store
