    "I never cared for stories until you entered mine". Actually a beautiful line, bravo Starkid. This has always been my favorite musical of theirs

    “I never cared for stories until you entered mine” (3:05)
    Yeah, this line is indescribably beautiful and clever and poetic, but it’s even better when it’s taken literally. At the beginning of the play Ja’far is wandering around in the kingdom reading Wicked. He’s ecstatic when the bookstore owner says he can keep the book and he’s so engrossed in it he bumps into people. I guess when Sherrazade left he couldn’t bear not hearing her stories, and after he meets her he loves all the stories she tells him.

      Starkid wrote this amazing musical, and managed to add in lines like "HE FUCKED A TIGER" without ruining the mood, or making the rest of the musical seem like cheap jokes. This is one of my favourite musicals of all time.

    I love how their musicals can either be "He is at once familiar and unknowable to the frightened girl he meets along the way and to the girl's surprise something in her eyes beckons her to know him and inspires her to say 'I want to know your story'" or "HE FUCKED A TIGER"

    Oh my god! So you know how sheherezade is from the story of Arabian Nights, where she is kept captive by a prince in a tower and to avoid being killed, each night she tells him a story with a cliffhanger so he keeps her alive (or something like that)? Well, she gets taken and kept captive by the sultan and she has just learned the last of her 1001 stories so maybe she does that with him, if that makes sense.
