First of all, your regularly scheduled reminder: fma_ladyfest signups are closing in two days! We have a multitude of awesome prompts already, and will continue to be ridiculously excited about this upcoming round until you are all sick of hearing about it and probably for a while after that. :D

Second, the last of moonyazu9's top five requests for me: top five ( Read more... )

I used to be much more into musicals than I am now, but I'm still fond of my favourites, even if I'd generally pick tickets to a play or an opera over a musical. The shows I like most these days are the very self-aware ones, like Avenue Q and Jerry Springer: The Opera or even the South Park movie, that are more meta than musical when all's said and done. But you could still get me into the theatre to see The Lion King or The Who's Tommy, I'll never not get choked up a bit during 'Anthem' from Chess, and if given the chance I would play Javert in a cross-cast production of Les Miserables without the slightest hesitation or embarrassment.

It's honestly a bit weird to me that most of the things I've liked best this year have been straight plays; I used to be the person who would opt for a musical over ANYTHING. (And in my heart I think I really still am mostly that person, I have just broadened my horizons a little.)

Also: YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE, because I am now determined that if we are both ever at D*C at the same time I am talking you into being a Javert to my Enjolras >:D THE ULTIMATE IN NERDERY

WE'RE DOING THIS. *____* The epic hat and hilarious vest are reasons IN AND OF THEMSELVES. I also vote giant cardboard signs reading things like "DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING" and "I AM THE LAW AND THE LAW IS NOT MOCKED!"

(I think we have found the one set of costumes more ridiculous than Newsies.)

I WOULD SEE THAT PRODUCTION.

Just drop me in a Takarazuka production and I'd be good to go. ^_^ Though Becca's idea may have to suffice, for now.
