happy tony day!!!
stereophonic is my daisy jones and the six
i have now listened to all the best musical nominees and all the best score nominees and. let's all try again next year
currently trying to listen to all the cast albums from nominated shows ahead of the tonys and i figured i would make a post of how it’s going!
so far:
- days of wine and roses (re-listen): gorgeous. adam guettel + kelli o’hara + brian d’arcy james are an undeniable combination.
- suffs (first listen): kind of repetitive and i was honestly a bit bored. it’s not bad, it just isn’t that interesting to me? there are a couple songs i like but they mostly sound the same.
- merrily we roll along (re-listen): perfect. 10/10. no notes. <3
- the outsiders (first listen): definitely a pleasant/enjoyable listen. it’s not life-changing but i liked it.
- illinoise (first listen): i mean, it's a jukebox. it's fine. but like i'm not convinced any of these songs are better than the original versions?
- the notebook (first listen): genuinely enjoyed this! kind of falls into the same category as the outsiders: i liked it, but it didn't blow my mind.
- hell's kitchen (first listen): some of the songs were good, but like, those songs were already good as alicia keys songs. this didn't do all that much for me.
- water for elephants (first listen): meh.
to listen:
- here lies love
- stereophonic (re-listen)
- gutenberg! the musical!
- lempicka
back to the futurei probably won't listen to this

why would you interrupt girl on fire like 10 times. who wrote this
no more jukebox musicals written by pop stars. we as a society have had enough jukebox musicals written by pop stars.
kelli o'hara making a pride month post where you can tell she tried and failed to crop a screenshot from google images is so deeply charming to me.
