Dear V,
Thanks a lot for telling me Stephanie J. Block was in Wicked. Now all I can hear is Elphaba singing "The Whizzer and IIIIIII" ¬¬
Love,
Babs
"Whizzer and I" i love that so much😂
stephanie j. block was also in the 9 to 5 musical. listen to "get out & stay out". you're welcome.
In the pro-shot, at the beginning of Falsettoland/About Time, when Meldel says "Homosexuals" he gestures to the audience and cameras, and it gets me every time
I mean, where's the lie?
😊😊
During Thrill of First Love :
"This is amazing. I wonder what they're doing on stage though"
The gays on stage: aggressively ripping each other's clothes off and fighting for dominance -
She said it at that exact right time and I'm like 😬
Fr tho lol💀🤚🏾
One thing that's cool about Falsettos is that it was written during the AIDS epidemic and it was the writer's way of expressing his frustration with the lack of governmental action surrounding it. Therefore the "this is where we take a stand" at the end. There are other mentionings of this, it's particularly notable when the characters talk about the Reagans ("Nancy Reagan, meanest and thinnest of the First Ladies" and "yuppie pagans, modeled on the Ronald Reagans")
Also, March of the Falsettos was supposed to be a reflection of how Trina views the men in her life, she refers to them multiple times during the beginning of Trina's Song as childish or immature or "not quite men yet" and March of the Falsettos was a sort of more extreme version to really emphasize the men's immaturity.
Falsettoland is supposed to be like their world of comfort where only their drama is what matters. These characters are wrapped up a lot in their own problems and don't acknowledge the rest of the world around them. This is shown in the set that is made out of a cube and then once Whizzer gets sick, instead of just being the cube it's actual hospital equipment showing that they are no longer just in their own little world.
Wow this is amazing Kaydance, thanks! After I listened to the soundtrack again, March of the Falsettos 'clicked' in my head. I mean, it's strategically in between two parts of Trina's song and on the first part she's literally singing about how men "grow but don't mature". So good! And such great info on your comment, really appreciate it ❤
“The kid is literally better than every single adult in this show”
You did it! You broke Falsettos down to its bare essentials!!
My first reaction: oh no...she isn't ready. She isn't ready.
You guys did not prepare me well enough for this 😢
The character development from “I never wanted to love you” to “I’d like to think I’d do it again”
Anyways act 2 Marvin may stay around ig, however act 1 Marvin has got to go, preferably by choking
There’s also “I want it all” to “all I want is you”
Yeah from 'never never never never never do it over again' to 'I'd do it again and again and again'
Fun fact: Charlotte sings Something Bad is Happening (Reprise) to Marvin, that's why she mentions it's "something that spreads from one man to another", the implication is that he'll get sick and die too
there is nothing fun about this fact
😆😭
@@erykahcourtney1041 fr lol
In the original production, Marvin whispered "Oh fuck" as the realization of what she meant hit him.
@@Blazingstoke ...oh fuck.
The fact that Trina sings the last bit of I'm Breaking Down whilst having food in her mouth! OMG!!!
An absolute BEAST, I love how much of a mood she is when she breaks down, like you can hear the spiraling
Dude, I love all the Trina’s. Barbara Walsh is an absolute ICON, Stephanie J. Block is way too talented for our world, and Allison Fraser is AMAZING.
Get out of here! Imagine being that talented... 😵
F5 belt with a banana in her mouth, while carrying the emotional baggage of this story, and the goddamm dear Evan Hansen mom won the tony 🙄
"I just want Trina to be happy!!"
Oh, honey. Oh you sweet, beautiful summer child. Nobody in this musical is ever happy.
The reason this musical sounds so “Retro” or semi-classical is because this musical was originally written and performed in the 80’s during the aids Crisis. This is a revival, in which they “modernized” in a sense, but other parts were left in their original form, with “nearer sounding” background!
Also, The meaning of March of the falsettos, in this Song, it is sung by the four men in the show, Marvin, Whizzer,Mendel, and Jason. All of them singing in a falsetto, other then Jason. This is another take on Jason being more mature then everyone else in the show, because a falsetto is often considered a very childish and feminine vocal style. The entire first act (because act one and and act two were written several years apart, and was originally supposed to not have a second act) is about the men’s “March out of falsettoland” or Growing up. Jason’s transformation being the most obvious as his Bar mitzvah, Mendel’s being married and not being such a creep and learning to express his feelings, Whizzers is coming to terms with his own impending death, and Marvin’s being how to cope with his happiness being ripped away from him, how to keep this family together now that the main glue is gone, and him coming to terms with his sexual identity (Which is a very long battle, as we see in the prequel to the first act called “In trousers”) The reason “Trina’s song” is following and preceding is because her life and happiness are constantly being Bombarded by these childish men, as the lyrics show. She feels constantly surrounded.
one of my favorite things to talk about is how important the characters of Charlotte and Cordelia are!! They model a healthy same-sex relationship for Marvin and Whizzer!
There is a pro-shoot of this production!!
The pro shot kills me with sadness
Tell me about it! I reacted to it for Patreon and cried at least 3 times
@@Barbara2.0 the chess piece 😔
@@Barbara2.0 How can I pay to watch it?!?!?!?
@@Barbara2.0 That end line, that Mendel sings, is just 🥺
Falsettos was like the first musical I watched that made me cry, and I would also suggest watching Spies Are Forever by the Tin Can Brothers- they're like a sister company to Starkid and spies is incredible and one of my favourite musicals of all time
God Spies killed me when I first watched it. That one scene at the end, just, absolutely amazing!
@@Leopardlover1002 oh my god I’m glad I was alone in my house when I watched Spies are Forever, I was pacing the floor and crying by the end
When Marvin says I can't eat breakfast, I can barely tie my shoes in what more can I say, loss of appetite was a symptom of AIDS and they did some study or survey or something, and people with early AIDS had trouble tying their shoes
Girl the first time I watched Falsettos i sobbed for a good half hour. UGLY sobbing. I still cry at “What Would I Do?” Every. Single. Time. One of my favourites 😭
This is my favorite musical... ever. It's so good, and the music, the talent, the story.. AHHH
It got to a point where my friends and family have to discreetly ignore me whenever I talk about this show.
also yes anthony rosenthal is precious and we must protecc
At least they do it discreetly hahahaba
I played Marvin in Falsettos a couple years ago. It was the greatest experience but after a few shows it really takes a toll on you. I would go home and cry after the show. it was the most difficult role to portray.
Also I got Michael Rupert's (the original Marvin) blessing for the role. I don't think I'll ever be able to play a better character.
oh my goshhh, getting Rupert's blessing must've been such an honor!
@@emminet I can't even put into words how amazing it felt. It's something I'll cherish for the rest of my life. I'll never delete the message.
Me: *Sees falsettos* Haha so you wanna suffer, I get it
i couldn't help but giggle when she asked what was happening on stage durong the instrumental in thrill of first love💀
'homosexuals' was a tiktok trend back in 2019 where all the gays would go "come back in the welcome mat is on the floor let's begin the story needs an ending" and then it would flip to them at "homosexuals"
"i wonder what theyre doing on stage tho" me too barbara me too (and ive seen the show)
HAHAHAHAHAHA
during ‘the thrill of first love’: “i wonder what they’re doing on stage tho”
me: “well.....”
“things are so complicated I want to be a fish” I feel this so fucking hard
Also, if you like this, A New Brain is by the same writer as Falsettos. I've mentioned it before, but just thought to mention that fact.
Same with 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and In Trousers (which was written about Marvin and Trina before Falsettos)
This and A New Brain also have the same director and co-playwright as well, James Lapine(Into the Woods, Sunday in The Park With George, Flying Over Sunset, etc.).
I loved this so much! Watching you react to Falsettos reminded me of when I first listened to it. These shows were originally 2 seperate one act shows that came out in 1981 (act 1) and 1990 (act 2) so that’s why it has that more classical feel to it. I recommend Next to Normal for your next musical, it’s another intimate show just like this one.
Thank you, lovely! I'm very excited about Next to Normal, been hearing great things
@@Barbara2.0 Actually these are parts two and three of a trilogy. The first part was a one act musical “In Trousers”. The show is completely about Marvin. He is married with a son but is becoming conflicted by his latent attraction to men. He remembers all the girls and women he had different types of relationships with in his past. Which helps him decided (in true Marvin fashion) that it is better for him to be happy than to stand by restrictive societal obligations. So he leaves his family and moves in with a younger man, Whizzer Brown, who he believes will give him the real happiness that he never had with his family. This makes the irony of the following acts even more pointed. The song I’m Breaking Down was originally in this. The soundtrack is available if you wanted to listen, so you can understand the complete character arc of Marvin. From arrested development to full emotional maturity. For me the most touching song is I Am Wearing A Hat sung by the women he has known.
As a side bar I was fortunate enough to see the first full performance in three acts of the complete work in Washington DC in the late nineties. The women from In Trousers later played the “lesbians from next door” in Falsettoland. I don’t know if or when all three acts have been performed together since then. And yes please listen to Next To Normal. It is also very emotionally complex. But easier to understand just through the songs than Dear Evan Hansen
"Whizzer's sick, why why why?!" I had the same reaction .
Okay so because you seemed pretty confused about March of The Falsettos, I'm gonna clear this up if you don't know yet;
The song happened in Trina's head, it was all her imagination. The song is basically about how even though Marvin, Whizzer, and Mendel are grown men they still lack emotional maturity, which is why they sing in the falsetto. Jason, who is much more mature (which you mentioned throughout the show, and even Marvin states, "One day I want to be as mature as my son who is twelve and a half") doesn't sing in his falsetto so he sticks out. Basically, the song is about all of Trina's worries and insecurities about marrying Mendel and her past marriage with Marvin. While the song seems completely unrelated to Trina's song and its reprise, it was placed in a very strategic way even if it does seem to disturb all the sad feelings that you get from Trina's song. If you don't like the listen to it, there is a version on RUclips that doesn't include it which is usually what I default to because I like to feel pain.
Yeah I actually talk about it on the bonus reaction I posted on Patreon. As soon as I listened to the soundtrack a second time, it clicked :) And now those 3 songs followed by each other are probably my favourite writing moment of the show. Just brilliant!
"Humans are too complicated, i wish i was a fish"
Never related to anything more in my life
"Ugh. Humans are too complicated. I wish I was a fish" IM CRYINGGG
Oh no i haven’t even watched the video yet but I’m worried for u
I know right? 🥺
Ok so I googled it becuase I was curios the musicals name Falsettos is becuase it is to symbolize how a man changes for according to one of the actors "At every age a woman has basically the same voice, but a man's voice changes." Which after reading it made me cry. Tbh I never listened to this musical before watching this and now i need to go listen to the soundtrack, like right now.
My theory wasn't too far off then... 🤔 Let me know what you think when you give it a listen!
19:33 I know this is old but it’s worth mentioning that this is the song where charlotte heavily implies that Marvin also has HIV and will die soon after Whizzer
"if the rest of the soundtrack is as good as I'm Breaking Down, i'll be happy in the end"
me, remembering the ending: ohhh boy
3:46 “i wonder what they’re doing on stage though” *starts giggling and kicking my legs like a little girl*
Theres a pro-shot for this musical, there's a playlist call "not a falsettos playlist with th full show", the quality is really good!!!
I watched it free on dailymotion today. Only thing is that it has commercials but it was still the entire high quality show
My go to is "mm ,, linguin"
I've been waiting for this one!! Falsettos is probably my favourite musical and has been for years, this is what helped develop my fear of Act Two in all musicals aha. I really enjoy this series so far, can't wait for more!
So happy you're enjoying the series, Nathan! ❤ And yeah I can totally see why this developed your fear hahahaha
8:30 lol I can't remember what the line was around here so I can't really reply
9:23 idk if it's the loss of visuals, but the point where Marvin speaks up and ...i forgot his name oof
12:23 maybe not trying to but
13:40 you got a feel for the time there
14:33 what, that wasn't Marvin lol
15:55 and then the song ends and Whizzer collapses
18:30 I just watched a little visual
19:27 that feeling
21:03 AND THEN HE PTUS THE PIECE ON THE GRAVE
8:20 I belive "march of the falsettos" written in the 80s (sequel to the now first act "in trousers" written in the late 70s as a stand alone piece) was first a concept album and then adapted for stage all together which made a sung-through show so the songs as the only vehicle of storytelling have the need to be detailed 👌
Yes!!! This is such an awesome musical (and it sounds a bit old fashioned bc it was originally written in the 80s-90s I think! The version you listened to was the 2016 revival which is personally my favorite bc of the awesome casting and the show was cleaned up a bit). Have you ever read the Percy Jackson books? If so, I’d recommend The Lightning Thief Musical which is SO good and was quite frankly snubbed at this year’s Tony’s. It’s an awesome adaptations of the books and the music is a BOP
Oh yeah I saw the whole Tony's polemic. I tried to read the books once but I think I was way too old for it haha But I'll definitely give the musical a chance, reaction coming soon ;)
I remember the first time I watched Falsettos, I couldn‘t cope after that 😅 And to your question about March of the Falsettos, I still have no idea..
Hahahaha I have a few guesses now that I had time to think about it. Will share here or on Patreon ;)
@@Barbara2.0 you probaly wont see this but their is a great video called "how falsettos redifines masculity" that explains that and a lot of other things
The title “Falsettos” is supposed to represent the characters’ maturity and how that develops. That’s why in March of the Falsettos everyone sings in a falsetto voice except for Jason, whose goal is to mature because his father didn’t.
I think that’s it, anyway.
Oh yay another video! This series gives me so much serotonin
So glad it gives you serotonin, we're all in need of some of that these days, aren't we? ❤
What Would I Do makes me sob every single time I listen to it. (Whizzer is my favorite character, and I don't think my heart will ever be whole again after the end of this musical)
Comments, from a Falsettos fanatic:
2:30 It is! Oft times when I'm listening to the album, I sing and act along ALL of the characters. Meanwhile my sister tends to have a concerning look in her face. Oh well
2:50 it was written and even performed around mid-1980s, and the first Broadway show of it was in 1992ish. Fun fact, the guy who played Marvin there was Micheal Rupert, who played Callaghan in Legally Blonde Musical!
3:05 , believe it or not, the original recording is like,,,,,1.5 times faster, it's insane. It's like listening to Hamilton, almost
3:48 uh, yeah,,,,, 😏😏
3:59 I LOVE ITT SO MUCHHHHHHH ABDGHSGSHSGSB I think I have a problem.....
4:32 .........no
I'm not sure if it's picked up, but it's pretty heavily implied that Mendel doesn't go into therapy bc he wants to help people, but rather because it's extremely high paying
7:00 I flail around the room while I sing this 😶😶
7:41 me tooooo
7:48 this musical in a nutshellllll
8:03 it's a really genius touch that I love about this musical! I've always felt, even when they're acting, that they almost come alive and become these....realistic people who actually exist?? Rather than characters on a stage. It's not something I've seen in almost any other musical
8:32 he needs both. Desperately
And maybe a better psychiatrist
8:45 Mendel.....makes no attempt to hide his,,,, _feelings_ for Trina, and that kids pretty smart
9:00 yeah,,, maybe
I tell myself that every rewatch
9:10 a running theme in the play is "none of these men/bots are fully mature, and this is the story of their maturing" and I love it
10:13 bingo
10:54 it is! It's probably the best and worst part, cuz it makes the final part of the play that much more,,,,heart-stabbing
11:13 that song is the weirdest I've every heard, but also the most interesting?? On closer inspection, for me, the main themes I get are traditional views on masculinity and immaturity (also the small prods at the then prevalent idea that homosexuality was emasculating). It presents these views in a fitting manner-childish and immature
No matter how many fucking times I watch/listen to falsettos, it gets me every time. Sobbing like a baby by the end of it. Ough.
"humans are too complicated, i wish i was a fish"
I don't know Falsettos so I'm happy I'm not alone as theatre nerd. Being a theatre kid doesn't mean you need to know everything, you just have a big love for it and you keep on discovering new stuff (like people who love classical music or just anything at all) . I'm always scared for people to hate me for not knowing everything, but until now I haven't had musical-friends who were mad at me for not knowing something.
Beautiful words, Rune. It's all about loving the ones you know and discovering new shows to love. After all, the more theatre the better ❤
My favorite William Finn song is "A Really Lousy Day in the Universe", from his 1998 musical A NEW BRAIN, which you should check out. It's a heavily autobiographical story directly inspired by when Finn contracted an arteriovenous malformation in his brain, nearly costing him his life - and thus, it tells the story of a struggling songwriter who suddenly contracts the disease, and how it affects both his relationships with his friends, and the way he sees the world. Despite the stakes, the show has the same comically neurotic voice as William Finn's other works: for example, not only does it contain songs like "Gordo's Law of Genetics" ("The bad trait / Will always predominate!"), but throughout the show, the main character keeps getting tormented by his boss, a loathsome children's show host who wears a frog costume :)
Oh lord you weren't ready. Nobody is ever ready for this musical. Shit HURTS
3:46 “I wonder what they’re both doing on stage though?”
me: 👀😅
"Humans are complicated, I wish I was a fish" you just spoke to my soul
Curious: why don’t you watch videos of these shows so you can see what’s going on on stage? A lot of these shows have beautifully shot pro shots that are free on watch
I started the series as a soundtrack reaction because most of the shows I did don't have a pro shot. I usually find out about pro shots after I upload these videos tbh, then I go check them out
The set for this one is so cool. With a couple of exceptions, they only use shaped blocks (that fit together into one large cube)
“It sounds vintage” yeah probably cause it was written in the 80’s
This is one of my favorite musicals. So hilarious and heartbreaking 😭❤
And that's what's amazing about the show, how it can be both hilarious AND heartbreaking
this is my favorite musical of all time and i'm so happy you reacted to it - makes me cry every time but so worth it
the way you analyzed this show was great! There’s so much to unpack it’s a brilliant show
"This is adding years to my life"
Yeah those'll be gone again by the end of it, don't worry
This made me smile so much. Falsettos is my favorite musical of all time and I have frequent TED talks with my friends, or to myself in the bathroom to be honest, about the different themes of Falsettos. Maturity, love, winning, grief... It's always fascinating to me to see other people discover Falsettos, an absolute gem of a show that I wish more would take the time to watch. I hope you saw the proshot, it wrecks me so much. This show is just so perfect, so human and true and sincere... It's a once in a life time experience and it's so gutting and raw...
The truth is that I'm in love with this musical and I will never get over it. I rewatch it every 6 months and listen to the soundtrack almost daily and the tears never fail to pour. Such a powerful message delivered in the most flawless of manners.
“I wonder what they’re doing on stage though” That’s the first clip I’d ever seen from the show and the reason I immediately watched it 😂
You would ABSOLUTELY EAT as Trina 😭💖
I love your commentary videos, your thoughts at the end are always my favorite to hear! Thanks for making these :)
Thank YOU for saying that and being part of the channel! 🥰
You're such an amazing reaction channel, the time you take to go in depth in how you feel about the musical, detailing what you like, what you're noticing,, you've given me a fresh look and made me see things I've never payed attention to even though I've loved this musical for years (especially the section about them constantly talking over each other in choruses until they settle on one line they harmonise on I---)
I'm just so so happy I found your channel 🥺
Awww Roneila, this warms my heart 🥺🥰 I'm so glad you're finding joy in my joy when doing these videos. That's all that matters to me, to spread the joy. Welcome to the channel!
If you haven't listened to spring awakening before I'd love to see your reaction! It's not sung through but you'll still get an idea of the story. The music's great too!
Definitely. It's on the list! ;)
"I wonder what they're doing on stage!" YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW
Awww, i love your reactions! They are so genuine and I love hiw invested you get in the story! I definitely agree that the songs in falsettos are very dynamic; they for sure follow soundheims playbook by having multiple characters come to they same conclusion (musically) but have them get there differently. I reeeeaaaally love that. Keep doing you and take care! Much love
Thank you so much, Cecilia ❤ Yeah, that's exactly it, you put it into words much better than I did
ik im very late but fun fact if you didn't know.
jason decides to have his bar mitzvah at the hospital that whizzer is staying at. whizzer ends up dying at jason's bar mitzvah.
“Thats a tiktok trend waiting to happen” it actually already is!!! That part of the song has been used a lot on the app and its hilarious!
got more reccs for you! (get ready there's so many)
- *Daddy Long Legs* : based off of the book by the same name. it's a 2 person musical and a proshot can be found on BroadwayHD (HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU WATCH IT: it's a very dialogue heavy show bc of the minimal cast and the album doesn't include much of it)
- *Mozart L'Opera Rock* : in French but there's a proshot on yt
- *Mozart!* : Also about Mozart but in German and it's more traditional theater compared to the former (there's a proshot of the 2016 revival on yt)
- *Dracula* : also a German production & theres a proshot with subs I believe (*HIGHLY RECOMMEND* checking out Kim Junsu's [one of the Korean Draculas] performance of some of the songs afterwards)
- *Newsies* (if you haven't seen it it should be on Disney + as a proshot)
- *Thoroughly modern Millie* (kinda aged badly bc of the depiction of some characters but I still love the story and it was Sutton Foster's first main role in Broadway!!)
- *Putnam County Spelling Bee* : interactive with its audience and I highly recommend trying to find a boot or full performance of it if possible though that may be hard to find for the obc
- *Oliver!* : a classic if you haven't seen it already you should
- *Pajama Game* : about a union that goes on strike at a Pajama Factory (the characters are really fun)
- *Alice By Heart* : 2018 Off Broadway show that retells the Alice in wonderland story in Britain's WWII era
- *Come From Away* : about the plane passengers that got stranded in Newfoundland on 9/11
- *The Color Purple* : based on the book of the same name -> a coming of age story (both the 2005, 2007, and the 2015 productions are amazing)
- *Oklahoma* : if you like more contemporary sounds compared to traditional, go with the 2019 revival! Damon Daunno (2017 orpheus) plays Curly
- *Once on this Island* : both the obc and the revival are AMAZING, the staging of the revival is much more interactive though from what I've seen
- *Anastasia* : slightly more accurate version of what would've been going on in Russia compared to the movie
WOW Chris! Thank you so much!! I see some stuff that's been reccomended before but also some new ones, this is great! 😍
Also also, you brought up it sounding pretty old, the first act is a musical called March of the Falsettos from 1981, and the second act is a musical called Falsettoland from 1990, with both going on Broadway as one musical in 1993. You listened to the 2016 revival.
Edit: Fixed the year Falsettoland was from
I actually believe falsettoland was written 1981 and march of the falsettos in 1979, like the years they set in.
@@fuckbrigadoon5420 I looked it up, I was correct about March of the Falsettos but was mistaken on Falsettoland. Falsettoland was actually in 1990.
@@joelmorris4339 couldn't find when falsettoland was written only when it was produced (1990) but yeah you are correct on march of the falsettos.
'I hate this song, it's my favorite.'
I can't agree more.
Tbh falsettos is my favorite musical
I love this series so much! Falsettos is one of my favourite musicals even though its so sad 😅
The good kind of sad though, the one that comes with great songs hahaha
“I hate this song, it’s my favorite” my thoughts exactly
If you're looking for a beautiful musical that will 100% make you cry by the finale, Starry is an amazing one. It's a musical about the life of Vincent Van Gogh and his brother Theo, and you'll probably recognize some of the singers from Starkid :) Dylan Saunders (Twisted) plays Vincent and he's phenomenal
I'm so excited for that!!
Yes yes yes yes yes
Yessssss! The last song always makes me so sad, but it's a great soundtrack and I can't wait for when the musical is actually performed (and hopefully put on RUclips like StarKid and Tin Can Bros musicals)!
Since you mentioned that you enjoyed how human this show is, I’d be really interested to see you do a listen through of The Girls (I think it’s actually called Calendar Girls now but it was called the girls for most of its development). I wasn’t a fan of the changes they made for the tour version, but thankfully the cast album is from its west end run, so it’s the original in all its glory. It’s an incredibly human story which says a lot about grief while still having the comedy it needs to stop it being an outright tragedy. Admittedly though it’s not got a huge fan base so I doubt it’d draw as many views, but I got to see it in previews and a couple of times in its initial run before they revised it, and it was honestly up there as one of the best shows I’ve seen live and it’s one I kinda wish more people knew about.
3:46 "I wonder what they''re doing on stage though?" WELL....
Someone’s probably already said it, but something I find absolutely incredible is how important staging is in this show. For example, the entire set is made up of different pieces of a whole cube. However at the end, after Whizzer dies and they try to put the cube back together again, there is a piece missing. This piece is used as Whizzer’s grave. 😭😭 there are so many other things I could say because this is one of my all time favourite musicals but that was the main thing that came to mind 😍
I love this series! I would recommend Come from Away.
Aaaaaadoooooooreeeeeiiii!! Bom demais! Vc é fantástica!!!!!!! Parabéns! Sabe tudo!
"Everything will be alright for the rest for your life" yeah...........
a b o u t t h a t
“I wonder what there doing on stage.”😂 I dooo
The more I listen to/watch this musical, the early on I cry.
This is in my top 3 favorite musicals ♥️ The first time I watched this show, I cried myself to sleep 😂
I totally recommend you listen to The Drowsy Chaperone!
How does this not have more upvotes?!?
This whole musical hits different when you actually watch it
You should definitely watch the musical Spring Awakening, more specifically the Deaf West recorded production that has subtitles, trust me on this.
Y e s
I will never be over the lyric "Once I was told good man get better with age / we're just gonna skip that stage" like excuse me
I love falsettos and this reaction was really fun!! Could react to how to succeed in business without really trying
I hadn’t listened to Falsettos before except from some bits and pieces even tho it’s been on my list forever, so this was interesting 😂 But it convinced me to finally give it a try, the music and writing seems incredible and so human. The ending tho, can’t wait to get invested and suffer :(
Lovely video as always! Even if I didn’t understand all of it 😂♥️ The hypothesis at the end about the title were really interesting, loved it!
Oh no, so many spoilers for you! Hahaha Thanks Mireia ❤ Let me know what you think once you watch it. I'll be posting extra reactions to the pro shot on Patreon soon ;)
@@Barbara2.0 ooh awesome! then i’ll try to find the time to watch it myself soon as well
Yay let's do it together!
@@Barbara2.0 yess yay 🥰
Hey just an Idea! You could listen to Bare! Everything is in The soundtrack and you can understand It with the lyrics alone(I mean Really understand It)
It's my favorite musical, and (If you watch it)I really think you'll like it
Hey Talina, Bare is on the list, so coming soon! Thanks for the suggestion 😘
You should listen to “In Trousers”, it’s sort of a first part to this musical so it takes place before Act 1, it’s a bit weird but it’s still really good!
Oh I definitely should! Cheers :)
I love crying to this musical
hehe, the way she says " if this is as half as good as I'm breaking down then I will be happy in the end" hehe. no.
Question about the book narrated by death, is the book you are talking about by any chance The Book Thief? I remember getting chills when I realized death narrated it.
Book Thief is also my guess.
That's the one ❤
I love falsettos 👏👏👏
"I hate musicals"
ooooh i think i suggested this!!!
if I'm not wrong this is act 2 and 3 of marvin's trilogy and it was written long ago, i can't really remember when it was written though
