i really do like "waving through the window" but the plot of this show is beyond fucked up

[firstknivesclub]

I can't wait for the gritty reboot in like 20 years when he's actually portrayed as a sociopath.

I love that song and "Anybody have a map?" but I really don't get the hype over this musical with that whacky of a plot.

[bloodbelieve]

i hate the plot of the show with a passion but i LOVE the soundtrack so i just try to listen to it without context

also i hope amy adams can sing because so big/so small gets me every time

[bloodbelieve]

also ben platt looked too old for this in the stageshow never mind now

he was not a convincing high schooler in the politician

[stillglows]

yeah it's easier to suspend disbelief age wise when it comes to theatre but for the movie it's a bit much

[dinkerd]

Amy's playing Cynthia so she won't be singing So Big/So Small unfortunately

[buzzybhn]

I love queen Amy but can't stand that Ben guy. Recast him!

His dad is producing the movie so he can’t be recast lol: “Marc Platt, who produced La La Land, and Adam Siegel will produce for their Universal-based Marc Platt Productions.”

Ah yes nepotism daddy here to aid nepotism platt

[colossusx]

he could barely pull off teenager when he WAS a teenager in pitch perfect. the rope that is my suspension of disbelief will unravel

[colossusx]

the plot for this sounds like such navel gazing sad white man hell

waving through the window is a good song though.

[whizzingfizbee]

Sad white man hell is the best description for this show. I remember this show hit it big on the heels of the first wave of Hamilton craze, and I recall thinking, 'Really? This white-a-palooza? This sociopathic boy angst-fest? This is what we're stanning now? Have we gained nothing?'

The songs are catchy, but the plot is a disaster and most of the singers, Ben Platt (who is annoying but definitely has some pipes) aside, are just okay. We are not amused.

I don’t get why everyone was creaming themselves over this show - I saw it last year and was so underwhelmed and even fell asleep a bit lol- maybe the hype over it was Ben.

tbh I think it was mostly left out teenagers
