      I've just started to slightly scare my mother. We were watching Graham Norton, and a boxer who is going to the Olympics was talking, and I just said - "She sounds like she's from Northern England". Looked it up, and she was. I'm from California, and have never been to Britain or met many British people, so I think she's wondering how the hell I starting to differentiate where someone is based on their accent.

    Christian Borle's English accent is absolutely on point, so many Americans trying to do it just do either a bad cockney accent or a slightly posh sounding American accent, there's a reason it's often touted as the most difficult to master for non-natives, so Borle has my utmost respect for his dedication to mastering every nuance. One thing I've yet to see is a perfect regional English accent from an American actor, such as Liverpool, Bristol or Newcastle, now that would be unbelievably impressive, especially the latter.

      From a musicology perspective, when he sings “so annoyingly hard” the chords go, 1-2-5, treating the dominant as a tonic for a second, while the melody goes, 3-#4-5. This 1-2-5 chord progression and this 3-#4-5 melody is found a lot in Queen songs. You can see a variation of it in Killer Queen. “Just like Marie Antoinette,”

      And it worked remarkably well, because they changed the rhyme from "take a piss // piece of this" to "take a pee // piece of me". Genius, I say! Genius!

      Then you end up with the people who think it’s a from tiktok, or the people who shove themself into any theatre thing because they’ve listened to like half of the beetlejuice soundtrack. Like, beetlejuice, six, DEH, Heathers, and Hamilton, aren’t the only shows. I once made a comment that I preferred Falsettos over Beetlejuice, and about 3 different people started calling me insane for thinking that. Like, there is a way to like things, over other things.

    My days are so busy it's making me dizzy
    There's so much I gotta do
    There's lunches and meetings and poetry readings
    And endless interviews
    Gotta pose for a portrait
    And how I deplore sitting there for eternity
    Then it's off to the inn
    Where my innkeeper friend
    Wants to name a drink after me
    Then it's back to my room, where I resume
    My attempt to write a hit
    Just me and my beer and the terrible fear
    That I might be losing it
    And it's hard
    MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    SHAKESPEARE:
    It's hard
    MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    SHAKESPEARE & MANSERVANTS:
    It's really, really hard
    So very very hard
    SHAKESPEARE:
    I make it look easy but honey believe me
    It's hard
    MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    SHAKESPEARE:
    It's hard
    MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    SHAKESPEARE:
    It's so
    SHAKESPEARE & MANSERVANTS:
    Incredibly hard
    So inconceivably, unbelievably hard
    SHAKESPEARE:
    It's hard to be the bard
    [spoken] Honestly, I don't know how I do it. There's only so much of me to go around
    I've got so many fans
    With so many demands
    I can hardly go take a piss
    MANSERVANTS:
    He can't pee
    SHAKESPEARE:
    Be it theater-freak or
    The autograph-seeker
    They all want a piece of this
    MANSERVANTS:
    Gimme, Gimme
    SHAKESPEARE:
    It's a cross that I bear
    I'm like Jesus, I swear
    It's a burden but I suffer through it
    MANSERVANTS:
    He is suffering
    SHAKESPEARE:
    It's all part of the game
    The trappings of fame
    But somebody's gotta do it
    MANSERVANTS:
    So he does it
    SHAKESPEARE:
    And I know, I know, I gotta go
    And get back to my pen and ink
    Oh don't make me do it
    Don't make me go through it
    Can somebody get me a drink?
    Cause it's hard

    SHAKESPEARE & MANSERVANTS:
    Annoyingly hard
    So unavoidably, un-enjoyably hard
    SHAKESPEARE:
    It's hard to be the bard, baby
    [spoken] Ugh. I know writing made me famous, but being famous is just so much more fun. You see...
    What people just don't understand
    Is that writing's demanding
    It's mentally challenging and it's a bore
    It's such a chore
    To sit in a room by yourself
    Oh my god, I just hate it!
    And you're trying to find
    An opening line or a brilliant idea
    And you're pacing the floor
    And hoping for just a bit of divine intervention
    That one little nugget that one little spark
    Then Eureka! You find it you're ready to start
    So now you can write, right? Wrong!
    You're not even close, you remember that damn it
    Your play's gotta be in iambic pentameter!
    Cause it's hard
    MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    It's totally hard
    SHAKESPEARE & MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    MAN SERVANTS:
    It's hard
    It's totally hard
    SHAKESPEARE & MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    MANSERVANTS:
    It's hard
    It's totally hard

    Everyone knows my name
    I can't help it it's still freaking hard
